Biden was overheard saying “I’m looking forward to it.....it’s not every day a president gets to visit the Antarctic”.

Yep. All part of the plan.

And anyone that thinks letting ‘em in without requiring one of those clot shots is coincidental better wake up.

Biden’s handlers will never allow it. And why is this doddering old fool going to Africa when Kamala could go?

10-1 Jill and Hunter go on this taxpayer paid boondoggle.

The African Union? I didn't know there was one. Three-quarters of the countries in Africa are basket cases, economically, socially, culturally. Why have them in the G-20?

And is it cruel to wish for a random rhino attack while Slow Joe is visiting? Or a rogue elephant?

The African nations are stupid for having anything to do with the Chinese. The Chinese hate Africans. Nothing good will come from them.

China has done a lot of investing in Africa.
Some of it is bad (buying up mines that destroy the environment, making factories and development projects that are badly needed, but importing their own people to run them instead of hiring locals).

and some of it is good (introducing modern farming techniques that go against the green ideas of western NGO’s that Africans should remain on small farms that use old fashioned ways to grow food: no GMO food and not even using the hybrid grains of the green revolution).

But since most African countries were once owned by countries in western Europe, I would suggest their ex colonial owners need to go in and help.
