New in PJ Media:
Old Joe Biden stopped by a United Auto Workers picket line for a photo op on Tuesday, and his propaganda arm, the establishment media, could barely contain its excitement.
NBC News said, “President Joe Biden made history Tuesday when he visited a picket line in Michigan in a show of loyalty to autoworkers who are striking for higher wages and cost-of-living increases.” The BBC headline was “Joe Biden makes history by joining UAW picket line.” US News heralded “Biden’s History-Making Walk on the Picket Line.” AP hailed Old Joe for “a demonstration of support for organized labor apparently unparalleled in presidential history.”
The Kleptocrat-In-Chief’s decision to join the picket line wasn’t surprising, for as Matt Margolis pointed out Tuesday, Old Joe “fancies himself a lot of things,” including “being the ‘most pro-union president’ in history.” As Rick Moran noted, “That may be true, but that doesn’t make him the most pro-worker president in history — something no one has bothered to point out, since union workers only make up 13% of the American workforce.”
And it’s even worse than that. One of the demands that the UAW is making in this strike is for continuing benefits for up to two years in case of an indefinite layoff. Why are they worried about auto workers being laid off? Large-scale layoffs in the auto industry have become a very real possibility in light of Old Joe’s proposed electric vehicle mandate. The Biden regime’s EV mandate would decimate the auto industry by eliminating as many as 117,000 jobs. It also wouldn’t do a single thing to solve the problem it will be implemented to solve: the fictional crisis of “climate change.” Instead of welcoming Old Joe, the UAW should be denouncing him.
The America First Policy Institute revealed last July that “proposed Biden Administration regulations would require Americans to switch to electric vehicles they do not want. Under the draft rules, auto manufacturers would be required to increase the proportion of electric vehicles they sell from 6% to 67% in less than a decade.”
This requirement would be catastrophic for the auto industry, because “electric vehicles have fewer parts and require considerably less labor to manufacture than conventional gas-powered vehicles. As a result, mass vehicle electrification will eliminate many jobs.”
How many? Six digits’ worth, which would have effects that reverberate throughout the economy. “The Biden Administration’s mandate would eliminate a net 117,000 auto manufacturing jobs nationwide,” says the America First Policy Institute. “The Midwest would bear the brunt of these losses. Even under a best-case scenario, the Biden EV mandate would cost Michigan (-25,000), Indiana (-16,000), and Ohio (-14,000) tens of thousands of auto manufacturing jobs.” Lay off 117,000 auto workers, and you’ll see businesses all around the nation’s auto plants closing as well, for there simply will not be as many people in those areas.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Surely nobody is fooled by the Joe Biden show.He has advanced dementia,is cognitively impaired,likes to sniff babies in public and has no idea what planet he is on.This is just a photo opp set up by his handlers to create the image{and illusion}that everything is ok when it isn’t.

As President Trump noted last night, he has no idea whether he’s dead or alive
James Lincoln says
One thing is for certain, Infidel:
He’s dead inside.
Ray Jarman says
Were I Trump or any other Republican candidate for any and all elected positions everywhere but particularly in manufacturing jobs that the reason for the huge influx of illegal aliens being brought into this nation is to replace those working in high paying (often union) positions with cheap labour to replace them. He literally stated it when he was trying to rationalize his stance pertaining to the border being open to any and all. I would carry a plaque showing a picture of all the working age single males wearing Under Armour and Niki tee shirts and new backpacks while holding I-Phones walking past security.

I’m surprised that Biden didn’t tell a tall tale about him and Samuel Gompers founding the AFL.
