Spencer already took a katana to the insane speech Joe Biden delivered last night in Philadelphia. As Joe Biden said, he was standing on hallowed ground, referencing Independence Hall. Still, his speech was a contradictory and incomprehensible mess that could only come from a man riddled with dementia and long COVID. It was a silly speech where he declared anyone who disagreed with him enemies of the state, specifically MAGA Republicans.
Yes, the people who want a smaller government, fewer taxes, better trade deals, more freedom, a secure border, and job creation are quasi-Nazis. The Americans against having their kids undergo hysterectomies, favor energy independence, and want some resemblances of public safety are “semi-fascist.” The name-calling is flying because Joe Biden has accomplished nothing in his public service career, let alone as our White House steward. The jobs report came out today, and the only thing notable about it is that unemployment ticked up, which flies in the face of the neo-renaissance narrative this White House has tried to sell as we’re in the throes of an economic recession and high inflation.
Biden is just a sick, angry old man who has had it that Republicans, who have no reason to side with him, aren’t buying into his account of events. Now, you bash the Republican Party, putting MAGA in front of the name doesn’t obscure the target, as being borderline traitorous because some of us don’t want a sub-par economy is beyond insane. After bashing the GOP, Biden had the audacity to call for national unity. I will unite by dividing is almost as stupid as those who said they were making money off losses before the 2008 financial crisis.
The actual irony, however, is the photo of Biden behind the seal of the presidency outside of Independence Hall. The image does carry some heavy Nuremberg 1938 vibes, which was not lost on anyone, amid Joe and his lackeys smearing Republicans as fascists for days. In 2017, during Trump's inauguration speech, then-MSNBC host Chris Matthews described it as "Hitlerian."
Well, how do we feel about this speech and its related photos?
It goes back to the ongoing public relations nightmare that’s trapped this White House regarding doing everything they said they wouldn’t do. We don’t go after our political enemies, but Biden’s Justice Department raided the home of a former president for that very purpose. Some might say the FBI’s Trump ransacking was a “fascist” move by the Biden administration.
Same thought I had.
Paul Sperry said this is Anita Dunn’s work.
AKA Obama
There was a lot of obama speak in that speech.
Wonder if Joementia even knew what he was saying??
In 2008, I read an analysis of the most leftist senators
Obama
Biden
Clinton
In that order
Didn’t something else happen later at Nuremberg?
I wouldn’t be hanging around if I were you, Joe.
Which three didn’t carry the speech? I would really like to know this.
Fox for sure. Penn St at Purdue football.
Hmmm, I must admit that Shirer’s work is to be taken with a grain of salt: German-born American historian Klaus Epstein’s criticisms are still very valid, I must say.
In this regard, one should also keep in mind that while Epstein (1927-67) was a professional historian, Shirer was not - he was a journalist, and in journalism the narrative (and personal symathies and antipathies as well) often plays a bigger role than the historic facts, unfortunately.
I think it had Obama written all over it.
Hmmm... I keep thinking of George Lucas’ initially somewhat inconsequential Senator as said Senator evolves, or devolves...
Soros, Schwab, Gates, UN, WEF, etc
They’re running the show and pulling the strings of the angry old puppet in the White House.
Next year should be very interesting, and possibly terrifying. Pray...and trust.
👍
I...
Must...
Resist!!!
I read with an eye for Shirer injecting opinion in his writing but I’m not sure if I always spot it. I’m not familiar with Klaus Epstein’s criticism so that would be of interest to me. I’ll have to see if I can locate it.
Shirer did have access to many who knew Hitler personally which gives his account some value. And he was in Germany during Hitlers rise to power. And he had access to a mountain of Nazi records that we brought back to the States. That wouldn’t prevent him from shading his version of events but a lot of Rise and Fall seems to be based on factual events.
I do know that one criticism German scholars had with his work is Shirer arguing that there was a link between Luther and Hitler.

Tonight, we’ll find out where you fans REALLY stand!
I found this review of Klaus Epstein’s criticism and I don’t disagree with any of it.
I had discounted Shirer’s version of German history myself, it was simplistic and really it added nothing to his account of the events that he had witnessed, which for me is the only value of Shirer’s writing. His attempt to psychoanalyze the German psyche was foolish.
