New in PJ Media:
One of the strangest portions of the angry old man yelling at us Tuesday evening — that is, Old Joe Biden’s State of the Union address — was when the putative president, his beady little eyes gleaming with rage and hate, shouted, “Make no mistake! If you try anything to raise the cost of frisizhnjubs, I will veto it!” That’s how Benny Johnson of Newsmax renders it. PJM’s own Stephen Green has it this way: “If we kjhdgfjhargijbrgiarg, I WILL VETO IT!” Whether or not they understood what the senescent figurehead was actually saying, the assembled Democrats loved this, and they jumped on their feet to give Uncle Joe a rousing standing ovation. It was yet another indication of how much of a totalitarian lockstep the Democrats, who are increasingly open and up-front about their authoritarianism, have already adopted.
WhiteHouse.gov, as always playing the role of the man at the circus who follows behind the elephant with a dustpan, doesn’t give the slightest hint that anything was amiss. It gives us Old Joe saying: “Make no mistake, if you try anything to raise the cost of prescription drugs, I will veto it.” Then we’re told that there was “(Applause),” as if it were a perfectly reasonable moment in an utterly normal State of the Union speech. But it wasn’t, and not by a longshot.
While “prescription drugs” is a plausible thing for Biden to have said, and roughly corresponds to “frisizhnjubs,” there is no way that anyone watching the speech without a written copy of Old Joe’s remarks would have been able to divine that “prescription drugs” is what he said. Twitter was full of guesses: “Brazilian jobs.” “Fish and chips.” “Virginian jobs.” And so on. One Twitter user observed: “Not even the subtitles could translate.”
The assembled members of the House and Senate couldn’t have known what Biden really said, either. Yet when Kamala Harris leapt to her feet, applauding at the line, so did the Democrats in the chamber, cheering Old Joe as lustily as if anyone who didn’t applaud would end up in the gulag. That was what the bizarre scene resembled most closely: Soviet apparatchiks applauding the boss, not out of any genuine enthusiasm for what he said, but knowing that a lack of applause would be taken as a sign of disloyalty that could mean losing one’s job, or even imprisonment or death.
There is more. Read the rest here.
Hoi Polloi says
The senescent figurehead must be publicly revered by those who worship him as the provider of cover for their evil deeds.
tim gallagher says
Biden so often makes no sense whatsover that I suppose that if they didn’t jump to their feet and applaud his senile garbage then they would have nothing to applaud at all. I hear that the Democrats do want to push the senile old git aside and make sure that he doesn’t run again for President, so i suspect that most of the applause is bullshit anyway. Probably Biden will have to remove some knives from his back soon enough.
Westman says
MAGA applauds Trump when they understand what he said. The left media call it a, “cult of personality”.
Biden, having only a curmudgeon personality, reads his SOTU text incomprehensibly and the Congress Dems go wild. Why? It’s the political Super Bowl and the main theme is “More free stuff” and “Soak the rich”.
The cheerleader has done the dance – that they didn’t hear all his words is of no consequence. Cheer for our side!
Of, course, like the real games, there is credible opposition(reality) and they might get blocked and tackled.
Keith O says
Westman, that is probably one of the better descriptions for the sad state of American politics.

Another round of heil hitler…he just needs more hair and a little mustache on his dirty upper lip.
It reminds me of the parent…mom or dad…being approached by their small child who asks to do something; the parent is not listening, but says what sounds like a yes “umhum”…to the child.
And then the fun begins.
If someone actually corners him and or asks the wh raggedy ann what he meant that he would veto, there might be some backpedaling by those who gave the standing o.
Walter Sieruk says
It doesn’t really matter if anyone actually understand the statements of Joe Biden,
This is because Biden’s words are unimportant because he is a chronic liar.
To put thing in anther way “,Big Brother Biden,” is a pathological liar. So much so, that it must be a thoroughly ingrained part of his deceitful and wicked nature. Likewise, it may be called part of “his horrendously awful character.”
To the evil extreme, that If Biden tells someone “It’s raining outside.” That person would be to first look out of the window before believing lying creepy old Joe.

Why Did the Democrats All Stand and Applaud? I dont know but I am curious. Did they all get a food reward afterward? Of course they did so one more quick question. Were the treats fish or crustaceans?
David M says
Cackling Kamala was always going to jump to her feet & applaud whatever Joe said, it’s all just for show. He literally could have said “I’m going to kill you all” and she would have done it. The ironic thing is they don’t actually like each other.

A side note new the Sen. from Penn .John Fetterman has reported to have gone to the hospital last night after feeling “lightheaded”. Should Biden be bundled up and brought to a hospitality to see if he too is suffering from a stroke after the speech of jibbish he pour out of his face hole the other night.? I am not kidding man you know the thing the thing! Are all the democrats some new kind of AI that they can translate the new language Biden has invented that they applaud it ,could they let us common folk in on what that old man was yelling about??
somehistory says
yes, etternab was :dizzy,: but the report I saw said it was not clear if he suffered another stroke.
If this was a “normal” world, these creatures would be in nursing homes, drugged to keep them quiet and not getting out to do damage to others.
tgusa says
Biden and Fetterman are the brain trust of the democrat party. The smartest democrats in any room. Biden Fetterman 2024! It’s a no-brainer!
somehistory says
of course, brains full of prions are not truly brains any longer. “no brainer” for sure.
tgusa says
John is usually deployed to frighten little girls in to the arms of the sniffer.
somehistory says
that line sounds like it comes from something like Sherlock Holmes…you, know , like the “creeper”?
Much like the creeper, I wouldn’t want to meet either in a dark alley. My fear would turn to self-defense…in a hurry.
tgusa says
Yep, dual creepiness. Sadly, voting them out will not Make Americas Dark Alleys Great Again.
Wellington says
Just one more example of how destructive the Democratic Party has become. When push comes to shove, the term “moderate Democrat” is as deceptive as is the term “moderate Muslim.” Fitting since the modern Democratic Party is a new experiment in totalitarianism just as Islam is a very old experiment in this iniquitous “ism.”
Scotsman48 says
The DemocRATS all knew what he was going to say and acted as they were told to do before he even starting ”speaking”.
In the Film 1984 there is a part where everybody engages in a hate fest, screaming in tune with everybody else while Big Brother checks everybody out and sees who is not screaming or not screaming loud enough.
This is what is happening in America today… So very very sad indeed..
