In India during a pressers in India and Vietnam he rambled about indians and John Wayne and how fine things were when the Indians returned to the reservation.
Then at another presser he rambled about third world countries and the Southern Hemisphere at which point his mic was cut off. He continued to try to speak but then they started drowning him out with jazz music.

Joe reminds me of the bitter end for Diniro’s character in Bang The Drum Slowly. The catcher’s mask is off, he is staring at the sky in disorientation looking for a foul ball that one of his teammates already caught. In this case, Joe is not really a sympathetic character.

They need to start the impeachment inquiry immediately, before POTATUS can bail after blanket pardoning his family and friends. It is imperative that the reams of evidence of corruption of the Biden family criminal syndicate be revealed, and in particular that which transpired during his tenure as Obama's Vice President. Not only will it be compelling and persuasive about the widespread corruption of Biden et al, but will bring to light questions about how it happened under Obama's nose and how he could have possibly missed it? (He didn't).
It will further serve as a potential deterrent to the Michele Obama "rescue mission" being talked about, which in demokrat circles is being admittedly described as Obama 4.0. She really doesn't want it, and he hates the risk of investigative discovery overturning the fictions of his life and Presidency.
Finally, such a compelling case can be made that even the 20+ demokrat Senators up in 2024 will be unable to overcome their gag reflex and vote to remove the cancer that Biden represents, and try and save their political skins with "shock" at such corruption. Kamala can be only so damaging in her stub Presidency, given the ripples of fear the Biden impeachment will send through swamp's nomenklatura.

Yeah, but we need to deter Newsom as well.

[HotAir] New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ latest in a series of demands and proposals to address the ongoing illegal migrant crisis in the Big Apple has jaws dropping all across the municipal government. Having already sunk billions of dollars into handling all of the migrants with no end to the invasion in sight, Adams is now announcing budget cuts to most of the city’s other offices and programs, along with a freeze on hiring. He clearly knew the sort of impact this would have, telling the city that everyone “will feel these potential cuts — and they will hurt.” The Mayor continues to blame Albany and Washington for the city’s woes, but only because he wants them to send more money. He still refuses to demand that the border be sealed and the flow of illegals into New York come to an end. (Politico)
Days after declaring the migrant crisis would destroy New York City, Mayor Eric Adams warned agency heads they must slash their budgets by 15 percent by next spring to compensate for increasing asylum-seeker costs.
The cuts, larger than any in recent history, are liable to generate outrage from city lawmakers, the institutional left and commissioners themselves — and appeared to double as a pressure campaign aimed at Albany and the federal government to help with the influx of more than 100,000 migrants since last year.
In a Saturday morning meeting with commissioners and budget officials, Adams indicated each agency will need to trim 5 percent from their spending by the time the Office of Management and Budget releases its next fiscal update in November…
Adams seems to be speaking disingenuously when he describes the staffing situation. He is looking at a hiring freeze but insists that layoffs aren’t part of the program. Members of the City Council aren’t buying it. One representative from Manhattan responded by saying, “Oh my God!” She then said that “no agency” could sustain a five percent cut and that she didn’t believe it could be done without layoffs.
It’s worth pointing out that she was talking about a single budget cut of five percent. Adams is projecting three cascading cuts of five percent each between now and next April. It sounds like he’s going to have a revolt on his hands before long.
And then there’s the impact on the overall municipal budget. New York is currently facing a $10 billion budget gap next year. Projections show that gap growing for at least the next two years, largely due to irresponsible general spending and most of the federal pandemic money having already been spent. Let’s see… you’re ten billion in the hole but you’re already pouring twelve billion into dealing with the migrants. I wonder what might have been done differently?
We’ve seen plenty of interviews being done with working-class New Yorkers on the streets recently, many of them shown on Hannity and Laura Ingraham’s shows. There are a lot of angry people out there and they are not angry about Albany and Washington’s alleged failure to send enough money to deal with this crisis. They are angry that they are being overrun with migrants. As of this week, they are angry that their schools are being flooded with migrant children, many of whom do not speak English and have dubious documentation at best, and some of their own kids are being moved to “overflow classrooms” that were used during the pandemic. And they are angry that so much money is being poured into housing all of these illegal migrants’ needs when there are still homeless veterans on the streets who can’t find a place to sleep.
This news is not likely to make those people any less upset. And Eric Adams may not realize it yet, but he could very well be putting his own political neck on the chopping block here. Even in a city with such a vastly disproportionate majority of Democrats, there is only so much that people will put up with. If this situation isn’t properly addressed in a permanent fashion soon, Adams, Kathy Hochul, and Joe Biden might just accomplish what has long been thought impossible. They might turn New York red in 2024.

Time to close the parks and lay off firemen and trash collectors, so all the important political hires in gummint building all over Manhattan can continue to be paid!

[AmericanThinker] Last week, Joe Biden canceled all drilling in Alaska on federal land. Separate from the fact that no president should have that kind of power over the American economy and lifestyle, he paired it with another executive order that will make fuel more expensive than Americans have ever imagined.
...Many assumed that Biden was just pandering to the base. He was not. His executive orders have aggressively attacked fossil fuel (although not in China). As part of these orders, Biden immediately placed a moratorium on new oil and gas leases on federal lands.
...Every single thing in your house, including your food and drugs, and in your office place is dependent on fossil fuel. It is an ingredient in the goods we use, as well as the energy that manufactures them and gets them to market. It also enables all modern food production, from planting, to fertilizer, to harvesting, to getting to the grocery store. Without it, we revert to the pre-modern instantly. Yet Biden is slashing away at this fundamental, existential resource like a tyrant. Maybe it's Biden admin's way to deal with illegal immigration - make things so bad, they'll leave on their own?:-)

"Maybe it's Biden admin's way to deal with illegal immigration - make things so bad, they'll leave on their own?"
Cute, but cant be serial. These pressures are attacks on the middle class. Fox Piven. I doubt these things hit the asylum grifters and welfare recipients as they do us.
[NYP] Overtime for NYPD cops will be cut to help pay for the city’s migrant crisis — even as police battle to rein in crime that is still higher than before the pandemic.
Mayor Eric Adams’ budget director, Jacques Jiha, has told the city’s four uniformed agencies — police, fire, sanitation and corrections — to come up with plans to slash their OT costs.
"The mayor will ... issue a directive to implement an overtime reduction initiative for our city’s four uniformed agencies (NYPD, FDNY, DOC/DSNY)," Jiha said in a memo sent to city agencies Saturday "These agencies must submit a plan to reduce year-to-year OT spending."
The uniformed agencies must submit issue monthly reports to City Hall "to track overtime spending and their progress in meeting the reduction target," the memo said.
The order comes as Adams has warned that the recent flood of tens of thousands of asylum seekers into the Big Apple will "destroy" it, including by crippling it financially.
He has said the migrant influx could cost the city $12 billion in the next three years and that Big Apple agencies will have to immediately come up with cuts of 5% — and possibly a total of 15% by spring — although Jia said the more draconian figure would still "only cover two-thirds of our projected asylum costs."

Yeah, for sure. I have seen this before and the junior flunkies were really keen to get 'volunteer' off the clock labor from the rank and file workers. *Spit!* Works, sorta, until somebody gets injured, off the clock and on company property, then the insurance companies go berserk ...after a short time people start 'slow rolling' everything as morale plummets.
