New in PJ Media:
Nobody is less cool than someone who has to assure you he’s cool, but the Democrats have to say something positive about Old Joe Biden and his dumpster-fire presidency. Given the nature of the case, the less they say about his actual record, the better chance they have to put the senescent corruptocrat back into the White House for four more years, until he is 86 and will no doubt make his semi-coherent ramblings of 2023 look as if he is Daniel Webster.
And so on Tuesday, the Democrats’ official Twitter/X account published a photo of the sinister influence peddler sporting his trademark aviator sunglasses, and proclaimed that he was a “cool president.” Yes, the party of Andrew Jackson and FDR has come to this: telling us how hep and with-it the “Weekend At Bernie’s” president really is, if only we could see it.
The Dems, however, were working not from “Weekend At Bernie’s,” but from another movie, “Mean Girls.” Fox News noted Tuesday that the business about Old Joe being a “cool president” was taken from “the 2004 high school comedy film starring Lindsay Lohan,” as it was accompanied by a hashtag. Fox explains that “October 3 is referred to as ‘Mean Girls Day,’ because of a line in the movie when Lindsay Lohan’s character gets excited because her crush spoke to her. He asked what day it was and she responded, ‘It’s October 3rd.’”
Taking the connection to the “Mean Girls” movie even further, “the caption used in the Biden post referenced another widely-quoted line from the movie, spoken by actress Amy Poehler. In the movie, Poehler’s character brags to her daughter’s friends, ‘I’m not like a regular mom, I’m a cool mom.’”
Well, Old Joe is not actually a “cool president” — unless your idea of cool is a nonexistent Southern border, skyrocketing gas prices accompanied by steadily rising inflation across the board, the weaponization of the “Justice” Department against the political enemies of the Biden regime, the forced imposition of a frankly insane cultural agenda (particularly the trans madness) upon the American people, and ongoing efforts to destroy the freedom of speech and the right to bear arms.
Nevertheless, the Democrats were on to something. Indeed, it was fitting that they chose “Mean Girls Day” to pay tribute to their bumbling and largely incomprehensible figurehead. If Old Joe Biden can be said to be any kind of president at all, he is the Mean President. The suffering he has inflicted and continues to inflict upon the American people makes the Biden regime the Mean Presidency: for the first time in history (or second, if you count the first two terms of Barack Obama), we have a president and an administration that is actively working against the best interests of the American people, all while preening self-righteously about their nonexistent accomplishments and even adopting America-First rhetoric for electoral purposes.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Cool 😎 is not a word I would use, more like “Frozen,” the sooner the better, then shipped off to the South
Pole to be left there for ever. Where he could do no harm to the American people.
Walter Sieruk says
Those sunglasses the Biden is wearing makes him look like a drug cartel lord.
James Lincoln says
Bumbling Biden in aviator sunglasses:
Great ad for a brand new movie: “The Wrong Stuff” (2023).
nicholas tesdorf says
Biden is a Cool President…You can see this from the fact that Rigor-Mortis has set in on his brain.
tgusa says
Biden hits and kicks his dogs. His son is a crackhead. His daughter spends a lot of time in rehab facilities. Cool man!
From the movie, Idiocracy.
“I know sh*t’s bad right now, with all that starving bullsh*t, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.”
President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho
I would trade Dwayne for Biden any day. That would be a tiny step up.
somehistory says
bidens’s dogs have been biting the staff at the wh…including security. They had to be removed.
biden bites the hands that care for him….perhaps he should be removed from the wh.
“Cool” doesn’t mean crooked, or liar, or lame-brained. Psychopaths are never “cool.” They are manipulative and cruel….but never cool.
Fonzie was “cool.” James Dean was “cool.’ Paul Newman was “Cool Hand Luke.”
biden doesn’t resist the crooked system; he **is** the crooked system. He and his boss, bo.

I always thought Robert Mitchum epitomized cool in a subtly cool way.
“‘I’ve still got the same attitude I had when I started. I haven’t changed anything but my underwear.”
“I started out to be a sex fiend, but I couldn’t pass the physical.”
“Stars today are just masturbation images.”
“Movies bore me, especially my own.”
James Lincoln says
tgusa,
In my humble opinion, Robert Mitchum and Humphrey Bogart were the two best film noir actors – ever.
The absolute epitome of “cool”.
tgusa says
James,
I thought about mentioning Bogart. I have The Bogart Essential collection box set (24 movies). One of the first sets I bought back in 2010. Actually it was a gift to me. I still watch the movies quite a bit. Great collection. The Big Sleep is one of my favs.
somehistory says
A whole slew of his movies are free on Tubi.com
tgusa says
Good to know somehistory. A great scene from the big sleep.
Marlowe fires a shot in a house he and Eddiie Mars are in.
Marlowe: What do you think’s gonna happen now? Now what are your boys gonna think? What’ll they do to the first one that goes out that door? Who’s it gonna be Eddie? You or me?
Mars: Now look, Marlowe.
Marlowe: You look at this. What’s the matter? Haven’t you ever seen a gun before? What do you want me to do? Count three like they do in the movies? That’s what Canino said to little Jonesy.
Mars: Now don’t go crazy.
Marlowe: And Jonesy took it better than you’re taking it.
It didn’t end well for Eddiie when he opened the front door. Lol.

I liked him in Key Largo, African Queen and a couple I just watched, “Dead Reckoning,” and “Knock on Any Door.”
All good for dialogue from him. In “In A Lonely Place,” he tells a girl who is later to be murdered and he’s the number one suspect, that great actors make up their own lines.
I wonder how many of his lines originated with him.
tgusa says
Agreed. Two other not well known ones are, Dark Passage and The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse.
somehistory says
My favorites for “cool”…McQueen and Eastwood. and both of them good-looking.
One of my favorite McQueen movies “Magnificent Seven” and another, “The Great Escape.” Wasn’t he the “Cooler King” in that one? Yes, yes he was!
“The Great Escape (1963)
Steve McQueen: Hilts ‘The Cooler King'”

A good Mitchum movie is Out of the Past.
somehistory says
He was so creepy in Cape Fear. and The Night of the Hunter. Both movies were made intense by his acting, and wouldn’t have been the same with someone else.
But he was more likeable in River of No Return; and the scenery was amazingly beautiful..
tgusa says
Very underrated he was. His Kind of Woman, a film noir with a hint of comedy in it courtesy of Vincent Price. Yep, Mr horror doing comedy. I always liked Jane Russell (for obvious reasons) as well.
somehistory says
I’ve seen Price doing comedy in a couple of different movies. He could be funny when he chose to.
Just as Raymond Burr could be evil when he chose to; much different from his Perry Mason character.
Real actors don’t play themselves, but are versatile.
tgusa says
If you watch the Bogart Maltese Falcon movie and if you pay attention you cant help but notice the different character characteristics of men women honest dishonest real fake out for themselves or not etc etc. Back then actors were proud of their trade and writers has brains and together they did a great job. Lets examine some younger generations and see if they can even keep up with the back and forth intelligent and more often than not complicated dialogue. Not a chance wit them but that’s something we need to correct, some how.
tim gallagher says
It’s a weird world these days. i didn’t think that dementia would ever become “cool’. A sad thing but surely not “cool’. Maybe they also think that being a creepy as hell pedophile that sniffs young girls’ hair and makes them feel very uncomfortable is “cool’. Strange world indeed. I think Biden, the demented fool, is a completely hopeless type of person to have in the role of US President and they need to find a way to get rid of the hopelessly incompetent idiot rather than coming out with this truly bizarre nonsense about his being ‘cool’. You would have to be insane to see the demented, bad joke of a President, Biden, as “cool’ or see him in any positive light at all. He is a complete embarrassment and fill such an important position for the entire world..
Hrb says
Biden is a corrupt senile fool. He has lied and pandered his entire life. His family is.a.toxic dysfunctional mess that is an embarrassment to the United States of America. He has done more damage to our country than Russia, North Korea combined. He has sold out our country to China for profit. When this man was in Congress and then as VP stole classified documents, which he did not have the authority to so. He will go down in history as the most hated president of the USA and an abject failure.
