When last we glimpsed Joe Biden, he was celebrating Memorial Day weekend by flirting with a little girl whose daddy is in Afghanistan.
Ace has dubbed Biden “Grandpa Sundown Diddlefingers” — double-dog dare Tucker Carlson to put that on a chyron — while calling our attention to the president’s speech Moday in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in which he warned about the need to beware of WHITE SUPREMACY!
What does Joe mean by “white supremacy”? People who didn’t vote for him — it’s really that simple. Thirty-seven people were shot in Chicago over the weekend, but Biden has no plan or policy to solve that problem because (a) Illinois isn’t a “swing state” and (b) the people doing the shooting in Chicago are not Trump voters, IYKWIMAITYD.
Carjackers and gang-bangers doing drive-by shootings in a city controlled by Democrats? No, ignore that — it’s WHITE SUPREMACY that’s a “lethal threat,” according to “the intelligence community.”
How many black people have been killed by white supremacists so far this year? Certainly fewer than got killed in Baltimore last weekend, and the suspects there probably weren’t Trump voters, either.
Gosh, it’s almost as if all this hype about white supremacy — LETHAL TERRORISM! — were a political distraction from Biden’s failure.
President Joe Biden interrupted a speech in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Tuesday to speak to two young girls in the audience.
Biden made a face and pointed at the two young girls and said, “I have got to make one check here” and left the stage to walk into the crowd.
When he returned to the podium, Biden continued, “I just had to make sure that two girls got ice cream when this was over.” . . .
After the speech, Biden again walked over to the two girls and spoke briefly with them and their mother before exiting the room.
Get in the van, kids — Uncle Joe’s buying ice cream!
Two separate polls show that voters find @JoeBiden's actions weak and ineffective.
Voters by a margin of 43%-32% said that Biden was a weaker chief compared to recent presidents.
39% of voters said race relations have worsened since Biden took office. https://t.co/j7nOY52eeR
There must be a million cosplayers doing Asuka Soryu-Langley from Neon Genesis Evangelion, and the vast majority of them do Asuka in the plugsuit, because in the words of the late Robert Sheckley, “By hiding everything, they concealed nothing.” So it was a nice change to see Vietnamese cosplayer Potato Godzilla (instagram page here) doing something different.

It’s a pity that Vladimir Nabokov isn’t alive to write an op-ed column about our nation’s Creep-in-Chief, who apparently can’t help himself, saying out loud the kind of things Humbert Humbert might have written in his diary. The occasion was a presidential visit to a military base in Hampton, Virginia, on the Friday before Memorial Day. The focus of the event was military families, and the brass had arranged to have a postcard ideal — Brittany Bean and her three children, whose father Maj. Nathaniel Bean is currently deployed in Afghanistan. In her introductory remarks, First Lady Jill Biden mentioned that Brittany is herself a veteran, and that Maj. Bean’s current Afghanistan tour is the Bean family’s seventh combined overseas deployment.
The couple have three children, two sons, Jordan and Nathan, and a daughter named Margaret Catherine, who can’t be older than 7. While the president didn’t paw young Margaret on camera as we’ve seen him do in previous episodes of the Creepy Uncle Joe Show, he nevertheless managed to embarrass himself by remarking spontaneously: “I’m especially honored to share the stage with Brittany, and Jordan and Nathan and Margaret Catherine. I love those barrettes in your hair, man, I’ll tell you what, look at her, she looks like she’s nineteen years old sitting there like a little lady with her legs crossed.”

Certainly it is not my intent to defend His Fraudulency, but let’s admit this: No actual child molester would be so blatant about his interest in little girls. It’s almost as if Biden is campaigning for honorary membership in the National Sex Offender Registry, telegraphing to the world, “Don’t let me within 500 yards of a public school.”
I’m going to start adding memes or other pics to the FMJRA. It’s the only post I don’t do that on, and it looks a little weird. Don’t forget the Memorial Day Weekend Book Sale! Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam.

A relative said Nazario was plagued by mental health problems, and had bounced around from one family member to the next. An aunt said Nazario had been on drugs to control his schizophrenia, but that he had run out of his medication.
“He started acting strangely about two weeks ago” said his aunt Lourdes Nazario at the Bronx apartment where she gave him shelter. “His medication ran out. That’s when I found out he was schizophrenic.”
“His mom lives in Canada,” she said. “He drove to the border and left her car. He just walked through the woods and across the border about five months ago. They found him in a hospital in Buffalo.”
She said Nazario had been working passing out masks and hand sanitizers, but got fired.
“I took him in because no one wanted him,” the aunt said. “His mother never told me he had schizophrenia. I just found out two weeks ago. . . . He’s been staying here four months and I never knew.
“He started acting up when our mother started looking for an apartment for him. He said he didn’t want to leave,” she said. “I don’t know why the doctor didn’t prescribe another bottle. I started asking and that’s when I found out he was schizophrenic. Nobody gave me the details. They kept me in the dark.”
But I thought Canada had a world-class socialist healthcare system? Why would Nazario leave Canada and sneak across the border into the United States? Because he’s a psycho who wants to stab people:
Thirty years in the big city, through crime waves and violent shooting sprees, the worst that had ever happened to Kelli Daley was a low-level robbery.
“I was mugged when I first moved here when I was like 20,” Daley said, the unfortunate experience a distant memory now. “They just grabbed my purse then ran away.”
Thirty years, nothing. Then suddenly Daley found herself bleeding on a dirty subway platform, the latest victim in a string of savage subway stabbings that have unnerved commuters returning to a transit system just awakening from a pandemic slumber.
Cops said Daley, 54, was stabbed Wednesday night [May 19] by a deranged man at a Union Square station.
The woman, who didn’t know her attacker, was knifed repeatedly in the collar bone and the back of her shoulder, cops said. She was taken to Bellevue Hospital to get stitches for several deep cuts.
Daley was waiting for a train on the southbound N/Q/R/W platform around 10 p.m. Wednesday when suspect Joshua Nazario, 22, crept up from behind and started hacking away at her neck and shoulders, cops said.
They said the bloodshed could have been a lot worse had it not been for a horrified witness who sprang into action and ran to Daley’s defense.
Passenger Sean Conaboy, 52, tackled and disarmed the subway slasher before he could do any more harm to Daley or anyone else, pinning him to the platform in a headlock before police came and hauled him away.
A still-stunned Daley said that in the time it takes for the subway doors to open, she went from being annoyed over missing her train to being unnerved by the unprovoked attack. . . .
Conaboy, a freelance cameraman for the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., heard Daley’s screams. But even before that, he said he noticed something out of place.
Conaboy said he was on his way home from a 12-hour shift when he saw a suspicious man lurking in the station dressed in winter clothes on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year so far.
“I looked at his face, as he walked past me,” Conaboy said. “He looked in my eyes.”
The man then disappeared from Conaboy’s view.
“It was in that instant that I saw a woman,” he said. “She got pulled back out of my line of sight, away from the platform edge, and I heard a scream. And then I saw the knife come out from behind the column, in a full grip in a downward jagged position.”
The column was blocking Conaboy’s view but, “the knife and the hand were clearly visible,” Conaboy said.
“It was alarming to see a knife that big,” he said.
“I immediately ran to that spot,” he said, “Then I just jumped on his back and I tackled him. Then I was on top of him. At this point, I don’t know where the knife is. At some point in the scuffle, the woman got out and escaped.”
Conaboy said he was concerned about getting stabbed himself during the commotion, but someone kicked the knife out of the attacker’s hand after Conaboy wrestled him to the ground.
“I knew as long as he had that knife that I was in very serious danger,” Conaboy said. “I knew if he turned to face me that I’m going to be stabbed.”
Conaboy managed to get the man in a headlock.
“I pulled his hair to grab his head and put my forearm under his chin and pressed it up against his throat,” Conaboy said. “Somebody said ‘I got him! I got him!’ Someone did in fact have him by the ankles, but I’m still on top of him. Then I heard, ‘Police! Police!’ At that point, I relinquished him.”
Video of the attack from self-defense coach John Correia:
As of Sunday, cops have investigated 49 assaults in transit over the last month — more than double the number of assaults during the same time last year, when few were taking the subway because of the pandemic.
So far this year, 187 assaults have been reported in transit, 45 more than the 142 reported this time last year, police said.
Stay away from New York City. You’d have to be crazy to live there and, as we all know by now, Crazy People Are Dangerous.
