U.S. Politics: King Charles Leads a Confused Joe Biden Around at UK Ceremony

 

King Charles Leads a Confused Joe Biden Around at UK Ceremony

Dazed and confused at Windsor Castle.

Two hundred and forty-seven years after the Colonials threw off the tyranny of Mad King George, an English king met a dazed and confused president of the United States at Windsor Castle, kindly led him around, and gently reminded him of what he ought to be doing. Old Joe Biden, the putative president, gave King Charles III a hint of what things might have been like if Washington had been the one surrendering at Yorktown instead of Cornwallis. And the world was treated once again to the spectacle of the ostensible leader of the free world being obviously befuddled and unable to perform the most basic functions of his office.

Old Joe was in England on his way to the NATO summit this week, but he stopped off in England to chat with the king about the real problems the world faces, or rather, the imagined problems about which the Left is trying to gin up hysteria in order to advance its authoritarian agenda. The Associated Press reported Monday that the two figureheads “used their first meeting in those roles Monday to zero in on the generational challenge of climate change, prodding private companies to do more to bolster clean energy in developing countries.” Since talking to Old Joe is about as productive as talking to a horse, John Kerry was on hand to take care of any actual substantive discussion.

The meeting can only spell more trouble for the beleaguered citizens of both countries. They can look forward to higher taxes, more scarcity, and the demise of the internal combustion engine in pursuit of these fantasies.

Before that all-important conversation, however, the pair participated in what AP calls a “meticulously choreographed gathering at Windsor Castle” that supposedly “injected substance into the type of encounter between president and monarch that historically has been more about ceremony.” But Old Joe wasn’t up to this any more than he was up for a high-level discussion about how to squeeze the peasants even more comprehensively than they’re already being squeezed in order to pay for electric cars and other features of China’s coming global economic hegemony.

As Breitbart noted Monday, and as can be seen clearly in a video that went viral, President Dementia “appeared transfixed for a moment when he received a traditional sword salute presenting of arms from an officer of the Guards at the end of one of the lines of soldiers in the guard of honour, leaving Britain’s King Charles having to work to regain the President’s attention. Appearing confused, or even consciously ignoring Charles III, Biden seemed to be trying to engage the guardsman in conversation.” Maybe he was offering a lucrative job on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company. But disaster was ultimately averted: “After a moment’s gesticulation and spoken remarks, the King appeared able to get the President moving in the right direction once again. In a break of protocol, after being shepherded away, President Biden threw his arm around King Charles’ back.” Old Joe was likely overwhelmed with gratitude for the king not leaving him there in the grip of his dementia fog.

Buckingham Palace graciously went into damage control mode. People magazine reported Monday that “a Buckingham Palace source confirms King Charles was ‘entirely comfortable’ with Biden touching the monarch on the back. ‘What a wonderful symbol of warmth and affection it was between both the individuals and their nations,’ the source says.”

Must be nice. Old Joe Biden, one of the nastiest and most corrupt politicians on the planet, has everyone covering for him, from the establishment media to Merrick Garland to King Charles III. Old Joe is not as flummoxed as he appears to be, or his handlers aren’t, because instead of being impeached, removed from office, and publicly disgraced for his obvious influence-peddling through his crackhead son, he has the “Justice” Department covering for Hunter as well.

And so it’s good to be Old Joe Biden. He can spend his twilight years among the world’s high and mighty, plotting how they can secure their comfortable living on the backs of the less fortunate while hoodwinking them with blague and propaganda about climate change and so much else. If he forgets where he is and what he is doing in the middle of an official ceremony at Windsor Castle, King Charles III will personally ensure that his embarrassment before the world is minimized. Meanwhile, at home, Garland is busy fashioning a sweetheart deal for his son and framing his principal opponent for crimes he didn’t commit. Sure, Old Joe gets confused, but in the moments when he comes to himself, he must chuckle at how he has come to enjoy such a comfortable retirement.

Pud says:  It is obvious to all except the Democrats that Crime Lord Joe Biden has Dementia and needs to be declared medically unfit to continue as POTUS even if this means that the " Happy Hooker " Kamala Harris takes over the presidency till the 2024 election. Biden needs treatment and rest not the hard work that being the U.S. President 24/7/365  involves

Civil War: Texas vs DC

'It seems that [U.S. Border Patrol is] letting [migrants] in and we're doing our part in order to keep them out,' DPS Highway Patrol Sgt. Rene Cordova explains (above, National Guardsmen patrol in Eagle Pass, Tx)

EXCLUSIVE: How the migrant crisis is sparking an American civil war: TODD BENSMAN's dispatch from a militarized Texas farm - where Biden's federal agents are sabotaging the state's desperate border enforcement

• U.S. Border Patrol leased a private pecan farm, at taxpayer expense, to help them process illegal immigrants entering America through Eagle Pass, Texas
• An enraged Texas Gov. Greg Abbott responded by dispatching officers to barricade the farm's gate and destroy a ramp leading migrants up from the river
• The conflict pits two American forces against each other and it's a glimpse into a truly dysfunctional border crisis

Few places along our 2,000-mile southern border with Mexico more perfectly illustrate America's utterly dysfunctional immigration policy than a remote, private pecan farm in Eagle Pass, Texas.

At this sprawling ranch - owned by Hugo and Magaly Urbina – on the banks of the Rio Grande, President Joe Biden's federal Border Patrol agents are locked in a bizarre daily struggle with Texas Governor Greg Abbott's Department of Public Safety (DPS).

Under a simple white tent on the farm, U.S. Border Patrol agents are processing illegal migrants and then transporting them by bus to a nearby brick-and-mortar facility.

From there they will likely be released into the U.S. interior to await judicial hearings on their asylum claims. For some, the process may take up to six years.

Just outside the property's fence, however - between the river and the farm - Texas DPS authorities stand guard and bristle with frustration.

Why?

'It seems that [U.S. Border Patrol is] letting [migrants] in and we're doing our part in order to keep them out,' DPS Highway Patrol Sgt. Rene Cordova explains to me.

Sgt. Cordova shows me fortifications they've built to stop migrants from crossing onto the Urbinas' farm, but Border Patrol tore down a section of the chain link fence.

It also wasn't helpful to Texas that the Urbinas – who leased a long stretch of their riverfront to the Border Patrol at expense to the U.S. taxpayer - dug a walkway ramp down to the river to make the steep bank more accessible.

This is nothing short of a civil war of sorts pitting two American forces, one controlled by Texas and the other by Washington D.C., against each other.

Governor Abbott's response to the pecan farm facility has been swift and aggressive.

He sent state troopers to occupy the Urbinas' land on the grounds that criminal activity was taking place.

Texas then bulldozed the river ramp, strung rows of barbed wire across it and planted a large sign that threatens a fine and reads: 'You cannot pass here'.

When the state discovered that the Urbinas had opened gates on their property, DPS chained them shut and piled dirt high on both sides of the opening.

Now, long, straggling lines of aspiring illegal immigrants trudge up and down the river under the withering southern summer sun, laterally traversing thousands of yards of razor wire strung along the international boundary.

Down at the river, dozens of others blocked by Texas DPS officers cool themselves in the shallow waters. Still more swim back to Piedras Negras on the Mexican side of the border.

They're all biding their time - looking for a gap in the Texas defenses or a friendly U.S. Border Patrol agent to give them a hand.

Privately, because they're not authorized to speak, some Border Patrol agents tell me they abhor having to escort illegal aliens into the country. But they're following orders.

One young, dripping wet Venezuelan man confirmed it all to me.

'They [Texas Department of Public Safety officers] won't let us pass,' he says.

So, his group will walk several hundred yards upriver to a spot where they heard the green uniformed 'American immigration' officers might be found.

'Over there, Border Patrol will take you.' he says, squishing away in soggy sneakers.

The Urbina farm offers a small glimpse of a much larger game playing out up and down the Rio Grande - a consequence of contradictory state and federal policies.

With $10 billion in new state appropriations, Abbott's state police and national guard have turned this part of the borderlands into a garrison, complete with makeshift walls of cargo containers, steel fencing, and the ubiquitous wire.

The activity is so intense that it has reshaped the river itself.

State police and military forces occupy gravel river islands where migrants often hide. On one they've thinned out the vegetation and planted a Texas state flag. Any adult immigrant men and women caught crossing onto Texas land faces jail and misdemeanor trespass charges.

Another particularly problematic 44-acre island was essentially erased by Abbott's men, who filled a thin fork of the river with soil and sand. The new peninsula was cleared of brush and ringed with barbed wire.

The state has similarly denuded thousands of yards of riverbank downriver from Eagle Pass, bulldozing access roads and stationing camouflaged state National Guard personnel and DPS officers along it.

Texas boats, helicopters, military equipment, drones, and police invited from other states like Florida, give the scene the feel of a multi-layered military bulwark.

And most recently, the governor ordered a thousand feet of marine barrier, featuring large spinning buoys and a submerged net hanging below, to be installed in the river to prevent swimmers crossing the Rio Grande. It'll apparently be extended over time.

But no matter what obstacle – physical and otherwise – Texas erects, the Border Patrol attempts to undermine them.

In one instance, more than 100 Venezuelans, Cubans and Colombians hiked thousands of yards to a point beyond the barbed wire and patrols, where Border Patrol vehicles were waiting. The immigrants crossed the river, and, as I watched, they were escorted into transport vans.

Texas state troopers on ATVs and in highway patrol vehicles can only observe. By the time the immigrants are beyond the state's wire, especially if they are in Border Patrol's custody, the officers are powerless to do much of anything.

Below immigrants roam the riverbed. They're looking for an opening or a helpful agent.
