Biden mush-mouths latest speech and supports nominating 'demographically diverse' judges for some reason

"Ahzeebink dambadah, zilbadab; I'm serious."

Last night, Joe Biden mumbled his way through a speech at the National Bar Association’s 100th anniversary bash at Chicago’s Hyatt. He slurred through a self-congratulatory ode to appointing Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, and touted her as the "first hardly competent Black woman" to sit on the high court. Okay, I added the 'hardly competent' part, but you get the picture.  

This came just hours after one of his top aides was grilled by the Republican House Oversight Committee, digging into whether Biden was even fit to run a lemonade stand, let alone the country.

Biden's tongue tripped over itself like it was on a bicycle. He mangling memories of serving as VP under Barack Obama, the first Black president, and picking Kamala Harris as his veep, the first Black and South Asian woman to hold that job. He doubled down, bragging about stacking the judiciary with a rainbow coalition of judges, no matter what other qualifications or lack thereof they had.

"I promised to have an administration that looked like America and appoint a bench that looked like America,” Biden mumbled, per the transcript. “And I kept my promise. I appointed the most demographically diverse … slate of judges ever in the history of the United States of America. The top of that list, one of the greatest lawyers I’ve ever met, Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman on the United States Supreme Court."

He didn't stop there, crowing about Jackson's "wisdom and character" that he totally saw coming when he nominated her. "Appointed 13 Black women to the Courts of Appeals of the United States Federal Court, more than every other president in American history combined," he said, before tossing in some love for Hispanic, Asian, and Muslim American judges. "By the way, I didn't just appoint Ivy League judges," he added.

Flashback to April 8, 2022, when Biden and then-Judge Jackson were all smiles on the White House South Lawn, basking in her confirmation glow. Fast-forward to now, and the National Bar Association, born in Iowa back when Black lawyers were locked out of the American Bar Association, is 66,000 strong, pushing civil rights and diversity. Big names like Jackson, the execrable Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Minnesota AG Keith Ellison, Nevada AG Aaron Ford, MSNBC's Joy-Ann Reid, and New York AG Letitia James were in the room, soaking it up.

But let’s not kid ourselves, Biden has been dodging heat for months over his mental sharpness, or lack thereof. His June 27, 2024, debate against Trump in Atlanta was a train-wreck: frail, raspy, and flailing to answer softball questions. The fallout has been brutal as there have been a boat load of books revealing Biden's final days, his crumbling faculties, and the Dem's meltdown after he stepped back from re-election hopes and pipe dreams.

Capitol Hill’s buzzing with probes into Biden’s decline. The House Oversight Committee’s sniffing around claims of a cover-up, even questioning if unauthorized executive moves were made while Joe was out to lunch. Earlier Thursday, Biden’s longtime aide Michael Donilon got hauled before the committee, where he admitted he could’ve pocketed a cool $8 million if Biden had clung to power in 2024, per Axios.

So here we are: Biden's out here slurring through speeches, patting himself on the back for "diversity," while his allies scramble to rewrite the narrative of a presidency that's looking more like a tragic epilogue by the day.

BREAKING: SCOTUS hands Trump yet another win and guess who blasts KBJ

The Supreme Court just handed President Trump another legal win as they struck down a San Francisco lower court's injunction that would stop the administration from cutting the federal work force. 

The order says the judge who put a stop to Trump cutting several federal agencies can now go ahead with the cuts and see how it plays out on its merits.

Some of the cuts will be: HUD, HHS, DoD, Department of Agriculture,  Department of Commerce, Energy, Homeland Security. These cuts will be staffing from these agencies and are designed to save taxpayer funding. 

The is part of the DOGE effort and Trump's campaign promise.

The ruling actually comes as a rebuke of Justice Jackson, but it doesn't come from a conservative justice, it comes from Justice Sotomayor. 

She writes:

"I agree with Justice Jackson that the President cannot restructure federal agencies in a manner inconsistent with congressional mandates. See post, AT 13. Here, however, the relevant Executive Order directs agencies to plan reorganizations and reductions in force "consistent with applicable law." App. to Application for Stay 2a, and the resulting joint memorandum from the Office of Management and Budget and Office of Personnel Management reiterates as much. The plans themselves are not before this Court, at this stage, and we thus have no occasion to consider whether they can and will be carried outconsistent with the constraints of law. I join the Court's stay because it leaves the District Court free to consider those questions in th first instance."

The ruling passed 8 -1 with Jackson the only one who didn't know what she was doing.

Not a doctor, and not much of a lawyer

Thus, SCOTUS came down with an opinion before they broke for their summer recess. They ruled that nation-wide injunctions with these nation-wide causes can no longer go to the level as before where, for example, a judge in San Francisco can change a policy for someone that's living in New York City. 

The fact that Jackson's colleague has to remind her of what the law really says, shows us that she really does not deserve to be a Justice. And she certainly is not a doctor.
