Polling still continues to show that three out of four Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction.

And this is all before cocaine was found in the West Wing of the White House. The most likely candidate for where the cocaine originated is of course his coke-addled son, Hunter, who was seen in the White House the day the before the cocaine was discovered. But another fun theory has surfaced in the period of time since the blow was found, and that theory got some oxygen because the White House comms team has changed its story about where it was found about three times.

After initially scrambling, saying it was in a high-trafficked area where tours often go by, which was essentially scapegoating the Secret Service, the White House reluctantly admitted it was actually found in a much more secured area right around the access point into the West Wing that Vice President Kamala Harris uses. D.C. Attorney Bob Driscoll came up with the theory that the mysterious bag of cocaine could be the first domino to trigger a series of fun events.

Hollywood version of WH coke story: WH blames Kamala, resignation ensues, Newsome appointed Veep, Biden resigns, Newsome runs as incumbent, intractable problem for Dems solved, Ron Klain and John Brennan light cigars in a GTown Townhouse backyard at night. Fade to black.

So what has Joe Biden himself said about the subject? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. You’d think that with the regime media beginning to get weak in the knees, especially after the week Biden had, that they would begin the Woodward/Bernstein march to coin the new -gate scandal. You’d be wrong, however. Just when you thought the dam was beginning to break, along comes CNN’s Fareed Zakaria to the rescue. Well, to be fair, Joe Biden still gave a hot mess of an interview, but Zakaria inexplicably did not even broach the subject of the illegal narcotics in the West Wing of the White House in his sit down one-on-one interview in the Roosevelt Room last Friday.

I could see Zakaria having an entire interview set of questions on foreign policy issues and wanting to stick to his notes, but when he’s got an exclusive with the President of the United States inside the White House, just a short walk away from where cocaine was found, and he doesn’t even ask the president to comment on it, is truly stunning. Think any Republican with a scandal like that brewing would get a pass by Fareed, or anyone else inside regime media for that matter? Of course, not. I mean, if it were me asking the questions, I’d start by playing him a clip of Joe Biden’s drug stance in 1989:

I’d ask the President if he still believes every user should be held accountable, including his son, who obviously still has a problem. And I wouldn’t let him off the hook. His appeasement of Hunter’s drug problem is just as damaging on a micro level as his appeasement of China is on a macro level.

Sadly, Fareed did not ask the President the most obvious question on any reporter’s mind that is actually interested in reporting the news. Instead, he began with this.

Actually, the number of people who think we’re on the right track has been steadily falling, with the latest polling showing Biden rocking just above a 20 right track rating.

When Biden did get around to talking about whatever it was he wanted to discuss, it was a 50/50 mixture between lies and incoherence. Take your pick on which one you think is worse for a leader of the country to display. They’re both pretty bad. On third world nations, Biden had this to say.

I think he was trying to downplay the China One Belt, One Road, or Belt and Road Initiative, which invests in infrastructure all around the world in hopes that when these finances can’t be paid back, the countries on the short end have to cede over control of natural resources and strategic ports and sites to the Chinese Communist Party. Downplaying it is bad enough. He can’t even remember what the Chinese are trying to do. He just called it the ‘new Ring Road’. It’s not new. This strategy has been implemented for a decade. The rest of Biden’s answer is gibberish.

Biden referred to oil prices.

So when the President says oil prices are actually down, actually down means they’re really at a nine-week high, and gasoline remains about 50% higher a gallon than when he took office a little over two years ago. It’s simply a lie, and can be proven to be a lie within 90 seconds of internet research.

“It’s not that he’s a bad guy or a good guy. The circumstances are enormously complicated.”

You have got to be kidding me. And here I thought two weeks ago, this same Joe Biden called Xi a dictator. Franco was a benevolent dictator. He was still a bad guy. Dictators are bad guys. And as for the situation being complicated, let’s ask a Uyghur if the issue is complicated. It’s really not. What complicates the issue is Biden enriching himself through his cocaine-addled son’s business dealings with shell companies financed by the CCP. That can complicate things a bit, if you’re on the take.

While Biden was busy cleaning up on aisle 9 to make up for his faux pas to Secretary-General Xi, his Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, took the groveling baton passed to her by Secretary of State Tony Blinken, and gave us this video which will live in infamy.

I’m sorry, but unless she’s got a 10-pound rainbow trout biting at the end of that jig line tied to her nose, there is never a reason to bow three times to anyone in the CCP.

Back to the President’s interview with Fareed Zakaria. A couple more outright lies were told without even an inkling of pushback from Zakaria, who knows better.

The Quad was formed by Mike Pompeo under Donald Trump’s administration. Pompeo referred to the Quad in several speeches and interviews he gave as Secretary of State. It’s just flat-out false that Biden created the four-nation group.

Not even Glenn Kessler, fact checker for the Washington Post, could let that one slide. He gave that one three Pinocchios in February, 2021, and yet Biden continues to tell that story. Everyone in D.C. knows it’s not true.

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, an old friend of the President who worked for both Republican and Democratic administrations at cabinet-level positions famously said Joe Biden hadn’t been right on any major foreign policy decision in 40 years. So here’s the President taking a whack at predicting the future of China under the rule of the CCP.

China is in a different point internally, but not in the way Biden thinks they are. They’re much more likely to invade Taiwan. They’re much more likely to close off normal traffic in the South China Sea. Why? Precisely because they know Biden is old, weak, feeble, infirm, and bought and paid for. They know we have not kept pace with the buildup of our military like they have with theirs. They know our military industrial complex cannot resupply with weaponry and ammunition as fast as we’re giving it to Ukraine.

Joe Biden sees them as on the verge of collapse? Ready for internal strife and revolt? Ask Hong Kong how things are going. Ask Taiwan if they think things are simmering down across the Strait because of internal strife on the mainland. The CCP are on the move all over the Asia-Pacific theater because there’s never been a better opportunity for them to do so.

And thanks to Fareed Zakaria, the Chauncey Gardner presidency continues, scandal-free, because it’s not a scandal if media refuses to treat it like one.
