Garbage People
In a shocking twist exactly one week before election day, President Joe Biden called Trump supports “garbage” in response to Tony Hinchcliffe’s weekend joke about Puerto Rico at Madison Square Gardens.
Watch:
The White House spin was fast and furious with an official transcript published that attempted to use an apostrophe to change the meaning of Biden’s statement.
Important: When presented with the video for the first time on CNN, Democratic Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro did not buy the White House spin and simply condemned the language. Watch:
Brit Hume:
Ben Shapiro:
Ouch: Longtime Democratic strategist Jon Reinish blasted Biden with the following quote:
“Joe Biden and his handlers need to ask themselves if Kamala Harris’s victory and keeping an autocratic Donald Trump out of the White House is more important than giving the inartful President assignments to feed his ego… We have six days. Sit it out.”
“I Came From A Middle-Class Family”
Biden’s disastrous comments distracted media attention from an equally poor performance by Kamala Harris at a local television interview in Detroit. Watch:
But wait! It gets worse:

Full disclosure: Rant coming on.
I am garbage.
I am also an engineer with an MBA, a father, son, husband, brother, uncle and great uncle. I am an Eagle Scout and a Private Pilot.
When I was 11 years old, I was shoveling snow for my elderly neighbors and mowing their lawns.
I had my first job at age 13, delivering newspapers.
My first real job was a busboy at a country club when I was 16. I worked that job for three years.
I was in the top 10% of my high school graduating class of 600 students.
I worked my way through college and took out student loans, which I paid back.
Yes, I am garbage.
My family is garbage too.
My sister went to school part-time for several years to earn her RN, all the while raising two kids by herself.
My dad was in the Air Force during the Cold War, keeping the radar station up in Barrow, Alaska operating to detect any missile launches from the Soviet Union. My uncle is a Vietnam vet. Another uncle spent several years in the Navy, floating around the Mediterranean.
My grandfather was a steamfitter, building Liberty Ships in Milwaukee during WWII. He was 11th of 13 brothers and sisters, the oldest being a Great War veteran, the youngest getting wounded while bombing Nazi Germany in a B-24 Liberator during WWII. He was lucky to make it back alive.
All of them, garbage.
My grandmother was a German immigrant who came to America after the Great War, met and married my grandfather. She made the best wienerschnitzel, sauerbraten and spaetzle you can ever imagine. She would trap rabbits in the garden and make hasenpfeffer.
She was garbage as well.
Another great uncle was with the 1st Marine Division in the Pacific during WWII, island-hopping and endured some of the worst atrocities that no human being should ever have to experience.
Utter Garbage.
My other grandfather was a skilled machinist, working on secret government programs during WWII. When the crash of 1929 hit, he was 17 years old. They lost the farm and had to beg and scrape to survive until they were able to find work.
Total garbage.
My great-great-great grandfather fought in the Civil War with the 37th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment.
Living or passed away, we are all garbage.
I believe in a sovereign United States with secure borders. I believe in democracy, the republic, freedom, and free-and-fair elections. I have forked over a fortune in taxes and always paid my fair share. I have respected our institutions and loved the constitution. I contribute to charities. I volunteer in my community. I follow the laws of my country. I play by the rules. I try to help my neighbors. I welcome immigrants, as long as they come here legally and obey our laws. I love all people of all colors, races, religions and creeds. I have no problem with gays, lesbians, or whatever they want to identify as. I struggle to feed my family because the frikkin' prices at grocery store are so high. Despite its flaws, I love this country.
But somehow...... I am garbage.
People like me are mocked and ridiculed at every turn.
We speak, but are told we're not allowed to have a voice.
We are continuously sneered at, lampooned and spat on.
We are unjustly called racists and bigots.
We are called every type of "phobe" in the book.
We are told to sit down and shut up.
We are told we are stupid.
We are told we don't matter.
We are told we’re not allowed to have an opinion.
We are told that our concerns and grievances are irrelevant.
We are told that we’re to blame for all the problems in America today.
We are told that we’re bad people simply because of the color of our skin.
We are told “check your white privilege” while they sit in ivory towers and vacation on private islands.
We are lectured about “income inequality” and “unequal distribution of wealth” while they attend $40,000 per-plate fundraisers.
We are labelled “deplorable”.
We are called “irredeemables”.
We are proclaimed “desperate, pathetic losers”.
We are derided as a “swamp of crazy”.
We are written off as “bitter clingers”.
We are called "Nazis" and "fascists".
They grin as Main Street gets destroyed.
They laugh with glee as our jobs and livelihoods are ripped away.
They chuckle as they continuously crap on our values.
They chortle as we struggle to feed our families.
They arrest us when we stand up for our kids at school board meetings.
They persecute us using federal agencies which have been weaponized.
They operate two systems of justice, selectively applied (or not) for political purposes, while flaunting it in front of our faces.
We are called nuts, wackos, and conspiracy theorists.
We are not allowed to speak on college campuses.
We are threatened with jail if we don't go along.
We lose our businesses because we don't go along.
Our voices get drowned out by violent protestors and the media that supports them.
We are told to “get over it”.
We are told we have to just accept this.
We’re not.
We didn’t.
We won’t.
We still won’t.
We never will.
So say the “garbage people”.
Props to the liberal news host in Denver who interviewed the Secretary of State, Jena Griswold, and pressed her on many improprieties, including the Mesa County illegal voting scheme, sending mailers to 30,000 illegal immigrants inviting them to register to vote which is against state law, and using the Colorado ballot tracking system to send messages to citizens encouraging them to vote when they had already voted. He then asked her if she would resign. She said "absolutely not." I have very little confidence that the elections in my state are fair.
