Big…Dick…Joey – at it again.

…still allowed off-leash by Beelzebub and his lieutenants on this turd farm – continued shit, shit and more shit is all that is produced each day:
President Biden told reporters on Tuesday that he’s decided on a response to the drone attack that hit a base in northeastern Jordan near the Syrian border and killed three US troops but didn’t specify what it will be.
Even though the Pentagon has admitted it has no evidence Iran was involved in the attack, Biden said he holds Tehran “responsible” because it arms the Shia militias the US believes are responsible.
Iran has strongly denied it was involved in the attack or any of the approximately 160 attacks that have targeted US bases in Iraq and Syria in response to Biden’s support for the Israeli slaughter in Gaza. Regardless, the US is considering targeting the Iranian military, which could provoke a major war. antiwar.com

Biden wants Taylor Swift to sing for him – NYT – via rt.com
US President Joe Biden is pursuing an endorsement from global pop superstar Taylor Swift ahead of November’s election, the New York Times has claimed. The Democratic leader’s campaign is reportedly seeking to counter flagging polls that show him trailing likely Republican candidate, Donald Trump.
Trump’s strong performances in early Republican primaries and caucuses have suggested that a rematch of the 2020 election is the most likely scenario at the US ballot box later this year.
As such, Biden’s staff plan to rehash tactics that proved successful in the caustic battle with Trump four years ago, the New York Times said on Monday. Principally, this is said to involve painting the former president as a threat to American democracy, along with a heavy focus on abortion rights as part of a broader appeal to voters against alleged conservative efforts to restrict personal freedoms.
One influential voice the Democrats again intend to harness is that of Swift, arguably the most famous popstar on the planet. Perhaps more specifically, her 280 million Instagram followers are of significant interest, the report claims.
Swift publicly backed Biden and his vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris in 2020, saying that she would “proudly vote” for the Democratic ticket because “under their leadership, I believe America has a chance to start the healing process it so desperately needs.”
Last year, a single social media post from Swift led to the registration of 35,000 new voters in the US, the NYT report said, and Democrats are keen to secure her backing to expand this enthusiasm to a national scale. It is also predicted that fund-raising appeals from the singer could boost Biden’s campaign to the tune of millions of dollars.
“Taylor Swift stands tall and unique,” California’s Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, said last year. “What she was able to accomplish just in getting young people activated to consider that they have a voice and that they should have a voice in the next election, I think, is extremely powerful.”
Can Taylor Swift Sway the 2024 Election?
Exclusive polling conducted for Newsweek by Redfield & Wilton Strategies found that 18 percent of voters say they’re “more likely” or “significantly more likely” to vote for a candidate endorsed by Swift. newsweek.com
