Happy Independence Day! If you’ve been waiting for the green light from President Biden to host your annual barbecue, well, I have great news: Joe is finally granting you permission to enjoy your summer cookout — and he has some interesting menu suggestions.
On Thursday night, the White House tweeted a slide show of unappetizing “July 4th” meals. The pictures included pork chops and slices of cheese along with their current prices.
But what was even more bizarre than the food selections was the stomach-turning caption: “Planning a cookout this year? Ketchup on the news. According to the Farm Bureau, the cost of a 4th of July BBQ is down from last year. It’s a fact you must-hear(d). Hot dog, the Biden economic plan is working. And that’s something we can all relish.”
Even for the propagandists who run the White House Twitter accounts, this one was notably cringe-worthy.
Fox News’ Peter Doocy was quick to point out that even though Americans might save .16 cents on their baked bean and cheese barbecue, they are still paying for gas which is at a seven-year high. White House press secretary Jen Psaki shot back sarcastically, “I would say: If you don’t like hot dogs, you may not care of the reduction of costs.”
Despite her sarcasm, plenty of people weren’t laughing off the White House’s tweet.
One user on Twitter wrote, “This kind of thing seems like a strategic mistake. It’s a tweet telling people that the thing they are actually seeing in their own lives (inflation) isn’t actually happening. I don’t know who the convincible audience for this is.”
Joe might come to find out that the convincible audience, like the old gray mare, ain’t what it used to be.
Gaslighting has always been a major part of politics. Lest we forget, former President Obama once famously told Americans, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.”
The progressive elite have always depended on American voters being either incredibly gullible or grossly misinformed. But the difference between Joe and Barack is that the latter knew what the average American was focused on — and stayed away from it.
For example, outside of the politically-tuned in, most people weren’t paying extremely close attention when the Obama administration lied and claimed the 2012 Benghazi attack was caused by a YouTube video. But the Biden administration is lying to Americans about things they are seeing with their own eyes on a daily basis.
Joe’s big plans (or “pans”) are affecting people’s children, wallets and safety.
The Biden administration also expects Americans to buy their delusional narrative on crime. Recently Jen Psaki upped her Baghdad Bob game and said, “Some might say that the other party was for defunding the police.”
That’s right. After all of the vitriol the left has thrown at the police over the last four years, they are now trying to pin it on Republicans. Keep in mind that plenty of Democrats have been very vocal about defunding the police, including U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley.
So it’s a bold move for Psaki to try and distance the Dems from a slogan that so many of their party’s leaders still proudly use. Later when Psaki was asked if she could name a single Republican who ever proposed defunding the police, Psaki naturally drew a blank.
Critical Race Theory is another topic that Americans are told is not happening. Joy Reid and other Democrat talking heads dismiss parents who oppose Critical Race Theory as racists. According to the brilliant minds in the mainstream media, CRT isn’t even being taught in schools K-12.
And yet Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, reported on a school in Cupertino, California, where third graders were being forced “to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, then rank themselves according to their ‘power and privilege.’”
Parents who are fighting back against Critical Race Theory aren’t falling for a conservative “boogeyman” or a GOP “distraction”. Rather, they are seeing their children being indoctrinated with their own eyes. And they won’t pretend it isn’t happening — much to the chagrin of Brian Stelter and Joy Reid.
The Biden administration, desperate to spin all of their disastrous decisions, are insulting the intelligence of the American people.
Their smug mindsets have them believing that all of us Neanderthals are standing over our grills talking about the great price of pork chops and Dr. Jill’s “Vogue” cover.
I have a feeling most Americans have some other issues on the menu — and that is something we can all relish.
