My latest in PJ Media:
Whoever writes Old Joe Biden’s tweets (which are, hallelujah, most emphatically not mean) may have been hitting the egg nog a bit ahead of the Christmas season: on Monday afternoon, Biden tweeted: “If you look at my presidency so far, it’s a jobs presidency and it’s a small business presidency.” Yes, really. The man who has done so very much to kill jobs and small businesses in America is now crowing about saving them. The Left’s sheer audacity in gaslighting the American people grows by orders of magnitude practically every day, but this one will go down in history as one of the most egregiously dishonest things this most mendacious of presidents has ever said.
To be fair to the man, it must be noted that Biden’s handlers got their best-ever jobs report in early November, with 531,000 jobs added in October and unemployment falling to 4.7 percent. However, as Matt Margolis pointed out, this was the result of the expiration of pandemic-related unemployment benefits and was not due to anything Biden did.
Meanwhile, there is a great deal Old Joe has done to put Americans out of work. He killed the Keystone pipeline, which didn’t just put out of work the people who were already working on it, but also snuffed the jobs that would have been created as the project grew. As far back as 2012, CBS News reported that “Transcanada (TRP), the energy giant bidding to build the pipeline, projects the undertaking would create 20,000 jobs in the U.S., including 13,000 positions in construction and 7,000 in manufacturing. … Other estimates advanced by supporters of the pipeline have been even more optimistic, with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce claiming it could create 250,000 permanent U.S. jobs.”
250,000 permanent jobs. And then there are the jobs lost because of the ban on drilling, and the jobs that are likely to be lost in the automobile industry and elsewhere if Biden’s handlers realize their plan to “cut greenhouse gas pollution by well over one gigaton in 2030” and to cut greenhouse gas emissions 50-52% below 2005 levels by 2030, “reaching a 100% carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035.”
Yeah, sure, Joe, you’re a jobs president.
Biden’s handlers’ claim that their puppet in the Oval Office is a small business president is just as risible. As Stacey Lennox explained, Biden’s budget scheme “will gut small business deductions that reduce taxes on individuals who treat business income as personal income for tax purposes. These provisions kept small business tax rates comparable to those imposed on much larger corporations. So that plumber who grew a business that employs ten people will now pay a higher effective tax rate than Amazon. The owners of these entities will pay the top 39.6% tax rate and Obamacare’s 3.8% tax on net investment income. The bill would impose a 25% capital gains rate and alter the death tax, cutting the exemption in half. These changes, which reduce generational wealth transfer, will demand the sale of family farms and businesses by the next generation. The plumber’s kids may need to sell the business to avoid a crushing tax bill and go to work for Roto-Rooter rather than carrying on dad’s business.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

If you look at my presidency, you see a fuckwit of mythic proportion
mortimer says
But they left out a strategic word while typing too quickly:
“If You Look at My Presidency So Far, It’s a Jobs-KILLING Presidency and It’s a Small Business-KILLING Presidency’
I can agree with the above revised statement, because it is in touch with reality on the ground.
Someone should publish a list of all the jobs that went away and all the business that closed since the Beijing Bribed-man began as Puppet-in-Chief.
I gag when I read messages from politicians that are so far from reality.
Is Old Joe so demented that he believes that farm-fresh malarkey? Old Pres. Malarkey.
roberta says
Does anyone really believe that this guy has a 38% approval rating?
Comeonman No stinking way, no way…. 25% tops, possibly lower. I think closer to 20%
mortimer says
To Roberta: 20% of Biden’s support is ‘strong’, but their numbers are shrinking. The rest of Biden’s support is weak … up to 20% for a total of about 40% total. They are loyal to the Dem Party candidate and many of them are not paying attention at all to Old Joe’s demented gaffes.
Check Burry says
Same in UK, cConservatives claims they are for business, Labour now say same.
Its BS
We pay 20%VAT on fuel, petrol or diesel which also have a fuel duty charge, which is just another tax, in addition if u have a company car they charge it against income tax, plus the company also pay a tax for providing a car to an employee who,s job needs a car or small van to do the job, and that tax is calculated on the new full showroom manufacturers price, even if you get some discount, and if you buy a used car for employees the bastards still work out what the company pay, based on what the NEW showroom price was, in other words if you buy a used car for £10,000 the gov. work out the tax the company pay on the new price, say £30,000 yet the company only paid £10,000, how unfair is that. So they are all a bunch of greedy lying bastards.
Check Burry says
Non of them have heard the word Incentive ,certainly do not know what it means
notnolib says
JoJo Cabbage Brain Biden isn’t the President of the United States.
WalterSieruk says
Joe Biden is a affront to the Office of the Presidency and a disaster for America and the American people.. Biden is also a calamity to the State of Israel and as well as a catastrophe for all the Western nations’
somehistory says
What “presidency”?
He’s like *king* John in many ways.
Besides “jobs” and “small business,” what else will he take? The “right” to decide what’s best for self and family? Certainly he is attempting in every way possible…”every thing is on the table.”
Infidel says
Psaki says that Biden is planning to run for re-election. Doesn’t he have to remain alive in order to pull that off? He doesn’t look it even now, let alone in 2024.
I do hope that he’s the Dem candidate in 2024, so that President Trump can walk over him, assuming that the election abnormalities in GA, AZ, PA, MI, NV
CogitoErgoSum says
Yeah, Biden’s presidency is a jobs and small business Presidency if you take into account that everything this President says is a lie. He never left anybody behind in Afghanistan either and Kyle Rittenhouse is a white supreme pizza …. and the word psalmist is pronounced palmist …. and people love sound of his farts and the smell of the shit in his pants.
Walter Sieruk says
Let’s face it, Joe Biden is a bogus “President.” Biden is nothing but a criminally installed figurehead and a sick joke for a President as well as a walking , sitting and speaking disaster.
Biden is a President impostor and pretender.
David M says
I’m hearing the Biden camp is plotting on replacing Kamala Harris with Pete Buttugieg because she is incompetent, & the Kamala Harris camp is planning on ousting old Joe by the 25th amendment because he is senile. No honour among thieves.
CogitoErgoSum says
Pete would probably do a better job at changing Joe”s diaper too.
Grace says
The rumor is “Butkick for President. Can’t wait to see the Gay flag Flying over the White House.
