New in PJ Media:
Old Joe Biden, as everyone knows, is 80 years old, and from the way he thinks and talks, you wouldn’t get the idea that he was a day over 112. The regime he ostensibly heads, meanwhile, is feeling the heat, as the first words that come to many Americans’ minds when they think of Old Joe (which, also for many Americans, is as infrequently as possible) are “old, outdated, aging, elderly.”
But come on, man! This is 2023! Perceptions can be manipulated, and even reality itself can be altered beyond recognition. Old Joe’s official Twitter (you know, X) account was caught doing this Wednesday, when it published a highly edited photo of the alleged president, making him look many years younger than he really is.
Over at Townhall, John Hasson noted that whoever runs the Biden account (it’s not known if Karine Jean-Pierre is still handling it after she accidentally tweeted from her own account while pretending to be Old Joe) didn’t just give us a flattering, highly manipulated photo of the Dear Leader. We actually got two photos, side by side, with the overall objective being to project the impression that the man who has publicly shown himself to be abjectly unfit for office on numerous occasions is vigorous, confident, and fully in command.
The one on the left was of the Emmanuel Goldstein of the Biden regime, Donald Trump, wearing a Make America Great Again hat. This photo was carefully chosen as the regime has been working hard to demonize the Make America Great Again as dangerous and subversive.
Old Joe revealed the game that is being played here last September when he said in his ominous red-and-black speech that “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” So when the Biden Twitter account chose a photo of Trump wearing a MAGA hat, it was sending a signal to Old Joe’s hard-left base: this is the bad man you have been taught to hate.
Moreover, the picture was decidedly unflattering, so the message was not only “here is the man you have been taught to hate,” but “Look how hateful he is”: fat, sinister, disheveled, as well as elderly and worn-down. Trump was even holding up a clenched fist, as if any minute he might send his mindless minions into the Capitol again in order to terrorize the selfless servants of the people working there even now to eradicate racism, establish equity, and make all of our lives better with socialism. Inset in the photo was a headline: “Trump Admits Infrastructure Promise Isn’t Happening.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

The media used to be praised as a mechanism for enabling Americans to decide on the best candidates, best policies, best way to run their country. Now it reveals itself as simply another propaganda tool owned by the Democrat party. It reminds me of the movie Citizen Kane. He promised that his newspapers would tell the whole truth, but in the end it turned out he was cynically manipulating the news. This film was telling us what we are seeing now simply updated with the latest digital technology. We used to laugh at Stalinist media erasing people from photos. Now our media is outdoing Stalin by erasing the truth about our president.

Yes, USED TO BE.

“old, outdated, aging, elderly”
Everyone who escapes dying young, gets old; everyone runs the risk of being considered “outdated,” and “aging and elderly” go with not dying young. It happens and it’s not a “fault.”
What I think when I see his photo or hear/read his name: snake, corrupt, liar, ugly inside and out.

The hard WORKING people of America deserve better political leaders than these wealthy elite self serving egotistic people that our political parties are putting up for election. Both parties only care about power and who they can get elected, not about the quality of the candidate and the improving the lives of the American citizens. I’am a little sick and tired of our political leaders sending billions of American tax dollars to other countries including our enemies while we can’t take care of our own or secure our border.
There is something vary wrong in American politics and Washington D.C.
