Mid-Week Wondering

 It's Wednesday morning and Joe Biden still has not made a statement about all of the problems at colleges around the nation. His handlers keep hoping that it will just all go away without Joe having to say anything.

The average American is looking at this bunch of schmucks demonstrating at college campuses and wonders, "Are these the same bastards for whom Biden wants to forgive their students loans?" Say it ain't so, Joe!!

I saw that Biden now has his team of backpackers board Marine One with him in the hope that no one will notice that he is walking like a guy with his pants full of shit. Memo to White House staff: Have the team slow down a little walking to the chopper. They were already on board before Biden figured out how to get up the steps.

I noticed that the staffers were all wearing backpacks. They looked a lot like the college demonstrators but without the rags on their heads and the facemasks. The Secret Service still looked a little edgy.

I realize that backpacks are the current toting trend for most of America. I last had a bookbag when I was in the second grade. I am rarely, if ever, in fashion. I understand why so many people carry backpacks, it just doesn't work for me. I actually own a computer backpack. My wife bought it one day for me when we were at Sam's. I put my laptop in it when we are going somewhere, and we are staying in a hotel. If we are taking the travel trailer, I just throw the laptop on my side of the bed when I load the camper. The backpack has too many pockets. I spend more time looking for stuff than I do using whatever I found. I have never actually put the pack on my back. I just grab the loop on top and drag it with me. Yeah, it's of pretty limited use.

I follow the old guy's checklist before leaving the house. Before leaving the house, I review the checklist. It goes like this, spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch. I don't wear a watch, so three out of four is a passing score. I make sure that I have at least two pens and my spiral bound database in my shirt pocket.

Having made a three-paragraph diversion, back to the topic at hand. What will it take to get the President to speak out about the situation on campuses? Mike Johnson and the Republican leadership clearly put the ball into Biden's court with their announcement today about what they were going to do. Will he respond? Does anyone really care?

One would think that a man who had been arrested with Nelson Mandela for protesting in South Africa would have some strong emotions about which to speak. But Joe is silent. When he finally speaks, I am sure that it will be to tell college students about his days as a protester in college. Joe still claims that he was the first in his family to go to college. But he also talks about what a great college football player his grandfather was in college. Do the math on that one!

Joe could identify with the Israelis and tell them that his Uncle Bosie was a Jew and that those cannibals in New Guinea were just trying to keep kosher.

Maybe he is going back to that synagogue that he attended in Delaware and tell them that he is on their side in this struggle. But probably not. This problem causes Biden to have to take a stand and he just won't do that.  

College campuses are making America look like Nazi Germany in the 1930's. Joe needs to grow a pair and take a stand on all of this. Letting the inmates run the asylum is just not going to work. Kristallnacht anyone? Yesterday, Trump asked if the Columbia protesters were going to get the treatment that the January 6 protesters received. Of course not, those kids are liberals. If we treat morons like criminals, they might change directions.

Hamas is just a continuation of the PLO and the PLF. They are just another group of Palestinian extremists. The October 7 attack is just another atrocity in a long line of Palestinian attacks. From TWA Flight 847 to the Achille Lauro to the murders at the Munich Olympics to October 7, it's just a long string of senseless killings. It's time to acknowledge who are the real savages.
