Biden allies in overdrive to dispel reports he is too old for the job

February 12, 2024:

Democrats line up behind Biden after special counsel report as polls show voter concerns about age

“I'm someone who's worked intimately with the president. I worked with him on the bipartisan gun bill. He was involved in every step of that process, not only constructing the bill, but winning individual Republican votes. It would not have passed, if not for Joe Biden,” Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday. “There are literally thousands of people alive in this nation today because Joe Biden is incredibly competent, and he's incredibly effective.”

“He is also somebody that has been the only one member of our party who has effectively beaten Donald Trump in a general election. So I know that he is ready for this campaign,” Murphy added.

Here’s a nice roundup of the great man lying to his constituents and his pet media monkeys:

Chris Murphy’s Shifting Narrative: From Defending Biden’s Vigor to Admitting Cognitive Decline

  • Throughout 2024, Murphy staunchly defended Biden’s mental acuity, praising his effectiveness and dismissing concerns, only to admit in May 2025 that Biden’s cognitive decline was undeniable.

  • February 11, 2024: “There’s not a problem. This president is going to be able to sell a record that is extraordinary!”

  • June 5, 2024: “I’ve watched Biden ‘run circles around senators inside the Oval Office’.”

  • July 6, 2024: “I’ve worked with Joe Biden. I’ve been on the phone with him, I’ve been in the room with him. This is one of the most effective presidents that I’ve ever served under. I believe that he can do it, but I think that this is a really critical week. I do think the clock is ticking. I support Joe Biden. Period, stop.”

  • July 7, 2024: “I think that Friday night’s interview did not answer all the questions that people in my state have. They want to believe that this is still the old Joe Biden, but they need to see more from the president.”

  • May 14, 2025: “There’s no doubt about it. The debate is whether it was enough that it compromised his ability to act as chief executive.”

  • May 14, 2025: “I mean, isn’t that self-evident? We lost. Obviously, in retrospect, we should have done something different.”

Related only in as far as it provides another example of this duplicitous dipshit, this:

I’m not going to waste my time listening to two let alone twenty minutes of this fraudulent pipsqueak, but I was entertained by the comments from his faithful; boy, if these are typical of the sheeple’s intolerance for corruption, they must have gone wild when Biden pardoned his entire family for their criminal enterprise.

@sbsmusic3053

@CommonsenseMK

How does this not fall under the act of treason? He needs to be immediately removed from the office. He is a national threat, the same as a terrorist.

Connecticut’s moron was unavailable for comment

Six illegal migrants, including minors, charged in South Carolina mother’s ‘random’ murder

Six illegal immigrants, including minors as young as 13, have been charged with the “random” murder of a South Carolina mom — a crime the local sheriff said “defies any sense of decency in a civilized society.”

The five teens and a 21-year-old suspected shooter were busted Monday, 10 days after the body of Larisha Sharrell Thompson, 40, was found fatally shot behind the wheel of her Honda Accord.

…. “This shooting defies any sense of decency in a civilized society. Ms Thompson was going about her business on a Friday night, not bothering anyone,” Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile raged

“All of a sudden, these six men and boys — out to get something for nothing from someone they did not know and had no business bothering — pulled alongside her car” and killed Thompson, he alleged.

The suspects were busted after the 9mm pistol used to kill Thompson was linked to a burglary days earlier, with the suspects caught by surveillance footage, the sheriff said.

Those arrested Monday include three juveniles — ages 13, 14 and 15 — who have not been identified because of their age.

Along with Jeyson Sobied Pineda-Salgado, 17, Jarby Ardon Ramos-Odari, 18, and Asael Aminadas Torres-Chirinos, 21, they are charged with murder, attempted armed robbery and second-degree burglary.

No sooner did I post on the $1,000 per square foot trend, then this sale popped up

/

15 Highland Farm Road, 6,612 sq. ft., has sold for $3.9 million — $590 sq. ft., and none of that number is basement. Beautiful house custom built for these owners in 2002; if only it were in spacious Havemeye, I’d jump on it.

I remember reading the obituary of the husband of the surviving owner two years ago, and was hugely impressed by the man. Rereading it just now, I still am.

I'm beginning to think that $1,000 sq,ft is the new $500

/

30 Prospect Street (lower Lake Avenue) has sold in a bidding war that started at $1.795 million and ended at $1,857,500. 1912 construction and looks and feels it, but definitely going (I believe) as a residence, not aa building lot.1,974 sq, ft. (okay, that’s $940, but close enough).

And while 20 Old Wagon Road, Havemeyer, is almost certainly going to sell as land — a new house of 4,254 sq. ft. can be built here — it’s perfectly livable, and buyers looking for an entry house would have to pay $1,199,000 for its 1,0956 sq. ft., and probably more, because they’ll be competing against those builders.
