'Fact Checkers' Claim Biden Wasn't 'Shaking
Hands With Thin Air.' Oh, Really?

Original Article

Thank God for fact-checkers. Where would we be without them? Instead of believing the evidence provided by our own two eyes, we’re assured that what we see isn’t really what we thought we saw. Except when it is. But that’s another story. Last Thursday, Joe Biden spoke to students and faculty at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro. It was boilerplate political stuff — blaming the supply chain problems on COVID-19, increased fuel prices on the Russians, and inflation wasn’t his fault. At the end of the speech, Biden’s eyes became a little glassy and he turned around slowly and extended his hand. Except there was no one there.

Comments:

Snopes says, "That's rain on your leg." I say, "That's micturition. Zip it up." As far as Xidens's hand gestures go, he's also known for doing his impression of Mattel's Rockem Sockem boxing robot. He's got hands out there at the ends of his arms, and he doesn't know what to do with them..(What he actually said was "I'm radioactive. Shake.")

Well, it's obvious the puppet master wasn't paying attention, probably had to stifle a sneeze or something, and let go of the string for a moment and Biden's hand was just sort of hanging in the wind so to speak.

Biden's gestures after he stuck out his hand indicate he was surprised/startled that no one was there. He eventually turned around 180 degrees, like someone trying to figure out where they are and where they should go next. You don't need to watch the entire 40 minute speech to 'get context'.

I'm going to play Devil's advocate here and add a comment with which some will surely disagree, but I cannot honestly say I can discern what the heck it is Biden is attempting here, no more than than the self-styled fact-checkers can. Biden may have been gesturing to the small crowd stage right, he may have been attempting to congratulate Harvey the invisible rabbit, or perhaps his struggling brain even remembers that he was once a fan of the Cleveland Indians and is attempting the memorable 'tomahawk chop'. I try to be an equal-opportunity skeptic. Bearing in mind how the mainstream press leapt upon every perceived gaff and comment that Trump made, there is no reason to assume that our side is any more kind in their assessments of Biden's confusing gestures and garbled rhetoric. I find that a workable probability-determining algorithm to apply is "how much credence might I give the same allegation were CNN saying the same thing about Trump. Perhaps that's setting bar a bit high, but you get the idea.

#11, the Atlanta Braves fans did the tomahawk chop. The Cleveland Indians fans drank beer. For those of us who have dealt with friends or family members with dementia, we recognize that glazed look and slightly confused, aimlessly wandering around Jo Biden. If Adulterous Jill is cruel enough to put Jo through these events, at least she could be right there to take his hand and lead him off the stage.

Oy, Has Donna Brazile Gone Cuckoo? 16 replies

We all get that political strategists like to cheerlead for their party. Some might even say that it’s their job. I, however, think that a good strategist is willing to see and speak the truth. If their party is failing, they aren’t doing anyone any favors by pretending things are going well. Which brings me to Democratic strategist Donna Brazile, who appeared on ABC’s This Week on Sunday and gave the most laughable assessment of the upcoming midterms I’ve seen. According to Brazile, the GOP is “essentially running on fumes” from allegations of voter fraud in 2020, while Democrats “are running on the economy that’s roaring back” and “fighting inflation.”

The world leaders are acting like trapped men. Vladimir Putin, having begun what many would consider an ill-conceived invasion of neighboring Ukraine, is speeding down a road he probably realizes ends in disaster. Yet he cannot stop or exit on terms consistent with the basis of his power because any deals with Kyiv, except accepting its surrender, would be a sign of weakness. Since Russia lacks the material strength to compel submission, the only alternatives are to keep pulling the same ineffective levers harder, whatever the cost. The casualties mount even at the center. Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu, already rumored to be in disgrace, has allegedly suffered a

A man who paid $2.9 million last March for an NFT of Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey's first tweet is set to lose almost everything on the digital investment. Crypto entrepreneur Sina Estavi made headlines last year after snapping up Dorsey's tweet, which reads: "just setting up my twttr." The Iranian-born Estavi expected to make more than 15x on the investment, listing it on popular NFT marketplace OpenSea last week for $48 million. He vowed to send 50% of the proceeds to charity. Unfortunately for Estavi, the top bid as of this writing is just $30,739 - a loss on paper of roughly 99% what he paid. [Tweet] NFTs exist on the blockchain

One of the most visible signs of our federal government’s corruption is the treatment being meted out to the January 6 prisoners, who have been deprived of their express and inherent rights under the Constitution, one of which is the right to an impartial judge. Dustin Thompson, however, was not accorded that right, as Judge Reggie Walton explicitly showed his political bias and hostility to Thompson. Walton should have recused himself before the trial. With the trial over, at the very least, the judgment should be reversed. Ideally, Walton would be removed from the bench and disbarred.

Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin has written 36 letters, starting in August 2020, to many agencies — FDA, CDC, NIH, NIAID, HHS, and DoD — about the mishandling of COVID-19, lack of transparency, adverse events, lack of early treatment, vaccine mandates, and health care freedom. The DoD has not provided a single response. Some of the other agencies have responded, although the majority of the responses received were considered incomplete. The grossly inadequate reaction to Senator Johnson's legitimate oversight demonstrates a level of arrogance toward the American public that is unacceptable. In particular, the lack of transparency from federal health agencies has eroded public confidence

Mayor Eric Adams, who had called white people “crackers”, claimed that he needed his brother to head his security because of an "increase in white supremacy" in New York City. The New York City Board of Health falsely claimed that racism was a "public health crisis" and a public school told parents to abolish their “whiteness”. After all that time battling white supremacy, which is as easy to find in the city as good manners and parking spaces, the black supremacist subway terror attack came out of the blue. 29 people were wounded, including a pregnant woman and a 12-year-old, when Frank James, a racist gunman, opened fire on a Brooklyn subway train.
