My latest in PJ Media:
They call them “public servants,” although that usage is a bit quaint in this age of staggeringly corrupt, self-serving politicians, and it’s good to know that Biden White House staffers are hard at work, doing everything they can to improve the lot of Americans and protect our nation and its allies. Politico reported Tuesday that “some people in the Biden administration are huge Harry Potter fans” and are spending a lot of time choosing “magic spirit animals” for themselves. Will the magic spirit animals, or patronus, in Harry Potter terminology, of Biden’s handlers, help get the remaining Americans out of Afghanistan, end the crisis at the Southern border, or turn around the tanking economy? Politico didn’t say.
The crack Politico “journalists” have, however, been on this story for a long time. Back on January 7, they first reported that Merrick Garland, who was soon to become attorney general, was “a Harry Potter fanboy.” And not just someone who enjoyed the books and movies: Garland, according to Politico, was “such an earnest fan of the series that President Barack Obama’s aides nicknamed him ‘Dumbledore’ [although some said that was also due to his genial manner].”
Yeah, he’s a genial guy. He is a ferociously partisan hack who shows numerous signs of moving toward criminalizing political opposition in the United States under the guise of fighting “white supremacy,” but hey, he loves Harry Potter, so how bad could he be? Garland, says Politico, got Harvard to give Potter creator J.K. Rowling an honorary degree, and during his commencement speech to the 2016 graduating class of his high school alma mater, he expatiated at length on lessons from the Potter books, calling Hermione Granger “one of my favorite people” and quoting her saying, “I’m hoping to do some good in the world.” He told the graduates: “Now that doesn’t mean that you and your friends have to vanquish Lord Voldemort….But as Professor Dumbledore once told Harry Potter: It is our choices that show what we truly are, more than our abilities. So make the choice to do to some good in the world.”
Members of the Biden White House team have apparently decided to do some good in the world not by addressing the problems created by the administration’s disastrous choices in Afghanistan, or the other problems arising from Biden’s handlers’ mismanagement of the economy, but by joining Garland in Harry Potter foolery. Emilie Simons, the assistant press secretary, even has a “collage above her desk in the West Wing” featuring the magic spirit animals of her colleagues.
According to Politico, “rapid response director Mike Gwin is a bald eagle. Deputy press secretary Andrew Bates is a black stallion. Assistant press secretary Vedant Patel is an orca whale. Press assistant Natalie Austin is a Siberian husky. Deputy press secretary Chris Meagher is technically a bear but Simons changed it to be a picture of a teddy bear dressed as a wizard — wand and all.” Wait a minute: I thought they were all skunks.
There is more. Read the rest here.

No, they are not all skunks. Some are rats, weasels, snakes and leeches too.
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden is a subversive , incompetent ,corrupt weak feeble-minded awful old man. The entire problem for America as well as the other Western nations that since he’s sitting in the Oval Office masquerading as a real US President.
With all that power and influence at his command, Biden is a very dangerous subversive incompetent surrputweak feeble-minded old man.
mortimer says
Grossest incompetence of any US administration. These corrupt, power-hungering politics-junkeys are unfit to rule. They should ALL be sacked before their bumbling starts WWIII.
James Lincoln says
Correct, Walter.
Not only is Biden a fake, a phony, and a fraud, he is also now a dim bulb – now demented – sociopath.

That explains so very much.
satan is behind all such things…ghosts, goblins, evil spirits (which do exist…the “fallen angels” who are evil spirit creatures) That evil serpent promised…lied….to Eve that she “would not die.” All of that spirit stuff was to keep the lie going, because she saw her son dead before she and Adam died. So the dead had to be invisible or appear as apparitions.
It explains the doj filing suit against Texas over their efforts to protect unborn babies….helping out the satanists who freely admit whom they worship, and everything they do is for satan’s goals against the human race. satan wants all of us dead…and these fools are helping him just as much and as fast as they can.
the devil is a crafty loser and all who follow him are losers too. Some of his followers are also crafty, but most are just stupid fools.
Bob C says
they will follow him until they no longer get what they perceive they need from him.
simple as that.
somehistory says
And believe themselves to be clever and smarter than the rest of us.
Politicallyincorrectistruth says
Delusional, bat shit crazy, laughable religious nonsense. I hope your locked up in some asylum somewhere and not free to go out in society with those beliefs. I’ll bet you think the earth is only 6000 years old also, and that magic man in the sky made it…..
somehistory says
Really, now, you should ask your nanny for some new words with which to attempt an insult.
It matters not to me what you “bet,” about what I believe.
and, many of the normal people today say the lunatics are running the asylum.
The question, then, is , do they pay you for mopping floors and cleaning toilets….explains your constant use of the word you like so much….in the bin?
Oh, look, you broke your crayon…again.
gravenimage says
Politicallyincorrectistruth, you believe that people with religious beliefs need to be locked up? Do you really believe that you would be free in such a totalitarian society either?
tgusa says
Incorrect,
Your society is bringing out Toads and Turtles as magic spiritual entities and you have the unmitigated stupidity to call any one else delusional? In comparison, the 1968 movie, The Planet of the Apes, makes your vision of society look relatively normal.
Infidel says
Never been a Harry Potter reader nor watched his movies, so to me, this is just a bunch of Harry Potter nerds showing off. Normally harmless, but they don’t belong anywhere near the corridors of power
wpm says
When Fascism was starting up in Germany in the 1920s there was a raise in occult beliefs in many of the leaders of that party. The thinking of remaking myths, old Germany folk law incorporated into new founded belief a mish marsh of religion and government the rejection of Judo-Christian law, the golden rule, the good points of western civilization. This magic thinking for children is OK ,in leaders of the world is very dangerous and gives excuse to bad behavior ,illogical thinking, group hive thinking in my opinion. .

Amid Disasters at Home and Abroad, Biden White House Staffers Busy Choosing ‘Magic Spirit Animals’
……………
You just can’t make this stupid sh*t up.
I might suggest a few appropriate “spirit animals” for these fools…
And for people enamoured of the Harry Potter books, they seem curiously incapable of recognizing evil, threats, or heroism, either. They seem to have missed the message in these stories completely.
Isabella van der westhuizen says
This has turned me right off Harry Potter
I enjoyed the books with my kids
But they were just fun books
What a bunch of wets these democrats are
OLD GUY says
WOW, a feel good moment for lefties and fitting they live in their make believe world
James Lincoln says
Yes, OLD GUY.
They seem to have very quickly forgotten about the recent jihad terrorist slaughter of the 13 US servicemembers in Afghanistan.
See, they are all “smiles”…

Matthew 16:3
3 And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.
