On Wednesday, Old Joe Biden finally invited Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House, after refusing to do so for nearly nine months while his regime did everything it could to undermine the Israeli prime minister. The invitation came as Netanyahu met with the alleged president at the UN, and the two sat down for their first chat of Biden’s alleged presidency.
Any meeting with Biden these days, however, will have its bizarre and inexplicable elements, and this one was no different. As the leader of the world’s lone Jewish state began speaking, Old Joe bizarrely took the opportunity to make the sign of the cross. Calculated disrespect? Galloping dementia? We’ll likely never know, for, as usual, the sycophantic leftist press corps is not on the job.
What was Old Joe trying to do? Was this an innocent sign of Biden’s much-ballyhooed and utterly cynical Catholic piety, albeit randomly displayed? Was it a considered insult to a Jewish man with whom Biden has been publicly at odds? Was it a deliberate demonstration of contempt for a man Old Joe clearly hates and a nation he has tried in numerous ways to weaken? Or was it simply yet another sign of the regime chief’s galloping dementia? Or all of the above?
To put into perspective how odd this is, imagine if Trump had made the sign of the cross as he was meeting with Netanyahu. There would have been a new round of “Trump is an antisemite” articles in the establishment media. The ADL would have issued another in their long series of furious denunciations of the Bad Orange Man. The gesture would have been portrayed as a recrudescence of the bad old days of blood libels and false accusations against the Jews that culminated in the Holocaust. When Biden does it, on the other hand, no one sees it.
Whatever it was, Biden certainly didn’t make the sign of the cross when he met with his friend Mahmoud Abbas. And he has made it recently in the context of denunciations of his enemies. On Labor Day, according to the Daily Mail, the Kleptocrat-In-Chief was speaking in Philadelphia: “As he gave shout-outs to some of the other Democratic politicians in the crowd, an attendee yelled up at him that Biden, 80, would live until 90, prompting the president to do the sign of the cross over his chest.” Biden then proceeded to denounce Trump while touting his own supposed achievements as president.
Nor was that the first time. Back in Sept. 2021, Biden made the sign of the cross at an event for his socialist comrade Gavin Newsom, who was facing a recall election in the California Socialist Republic. Old Joe likened Newsom’s opponent, Larry Elder, to Trump, and then said, “All of you know that last year I got to run against the real Donald Trump.” According to Newsweek, the mendacious corruptocrat “then made the sign of the cross, a common gesture among Roman Catholics that is sometimes used as a way to ward off evil.”
In a similar vein last March, the Huffington Post claimed that Biden “drew laughs” by bringing up Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga): “Speaking at an event in Virginia Beach, the president asked the audience if they remembered her howls during his State of the Union speech, when she repeatedly interrupted with shouts of ‘liar!’ Biden resisted the temptation to strike back with a barb of his own and made the sign of the cross instead.”
So is Old Joe in the habit of making the sign of the cross when thinking about those whom he hates and wishes to destroy? Is that what was on his mind at the UN on Wednesday as he sat with Benjamin Netanyahu? No “journalist” will dare ask Old Joe or Karine Jean-Pierre about this bizarre incident, which was just one of an ever-growing number of indications that whatever is going on in his befogged mind, this man is not fit even to be pretending to be president of the United States. If it gets any coverage at all, it will only be as part of efforts to buttress the sagging narrative that this arrogant pro-transgender madness, pro-abortion fanatic is actually a humble man of deep faith who prays for strength and wisdom every chance he gets.
Yeah, sure, Joe. And I’m Pope Francis. But meanwhile, you owe Benjamin Netanyahu an apology, or at the very least an explanation.
dani says
I watched this on youtube. Besides making the sign of the cross, biden looked as if he were trying to stay awake, and needed to look at notes when he spoke. Even with notes, he was often bumbling and incoherent – guess the chat took place after the cadaver’s daily meds had worn off.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Great choice of words with “cadaver”, and spot on. 🙂
Jeff Bargholz says
Alzheimer Joe is a senile moron. I bet he doesn’t even know that he made the sign of the cross, not that he knows anything except he likes ice cream cones.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking.
Fred A. says
Jeff:
Don’t be surprised, if Biden next multi-billion dollar social program is free ice cream cones for everyone. That would be worth 10 million votes. He could promise to cancel all student loans. That would be worth 40 million votes. He could promise to let millions of illegal aliens into America. That would be worth at least another five to ten million votes. So you see, he probably will be reelected next year. It doesn’t make any different what state his mind will be then. Don’t forget, there is always KH to take his place. She will know how to get things done, maybe.
Kayster555 says
And sniffing women’s hair.
MD Anthony says
When they send out one of Joe’s doubles there is an appearance joe is somehow sharper.
Annie45 says
What colossal disrespect to the American people. Or should I say American
peons. We’ve got a doddering old fool sitting there pretending to be
President in front of the cameras of the world – who made himself and his
family obscenely rich through influence peddling during his Vice-Presidency.
But who has suffered no consequences for it – while ordinary Americans
caught up in trespassing/protesting on Jan 6th are given outrageous
sentences. And there’s nothing they can do about it – with that elitist, evil
message resounding loud and clear in our formerly free American minds.
There is nothing humorous about Biden – or his Commie takeover handlers.
Those handlers are letting us know that it doesn’t matter if a vile corrupt
incompetent man is the President or if members of our legislative body
dress like bums as they conduct business – because America no longer
matters.
I doubt if Prime Minister Netanyahu felt insulted by Biden’s sign of the
cross. He undoubtedly understands the evil forces assailing the world
and Biden’s place in it. As for me, FJB – especially his handlers.
Jeff Bargholz says
Alzheimer Joe probably shit his pants. He’s known for that, you know. I hope Bibi was able to pinch his nose because Bidumb sure can’t pinch his butt cheeks.
dani says
I’m sure his sphincter is as gone as his mind.
Brown Wolf says
Vile, corrupt and incompetent is a perfect description of potato head.
Semaphore says
Am I the only one who’s noticed that when Biden makes the sign of the cross, he doesn’t touch his shoulders but rather his sides below his shoulders, thus making an upside-down (Satanic) cross? Or am I imagining things?
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Agree 100%.
Netanyahu’s look above is interesting. It seems to be a look of disbelief or maybe one of what is he going to do or say now.
Biden has embarrassed himself and us so many times with so many foreign nation leaders. One of his worst though was the “incident” at the Vatican his first summer as prez. His staffers had to go out and buy him a new pair of trousers and a box of Depends because he soiled his pants. One could easily assume that Satan works through him.
Judith says
Obama and Biden have never forgiven Netanyahu for bypassing them and going straight to Congress when Obama displayed his contempt for Israel. BIden is simply and reflexively carrying foreword their grievous misunderstanding of the region.
Kayster555 says
Especially Obama. He is pulling the strings in this administration.
roberta says
If the Party ever allows a tell-all book to be written about this administration.
The behind the scenes prepping and propping up that must go on will blow our minds.
Im sure its even worse than we are seeing.
Alas, the Party is infallible. So we will never know.
I have a feeling that inside the Oval Office Joe is like the guest of honor at a funeral. Present, but not really there.
Steve says
Dementia Joe probably thought he was meeting Pope Francis.
Old Fogey says
The important lesson is to defend the polling places in November 2024. Don’t let drop boxes be abused. Sue to get the voter rolls continuously purged of false entries. Demand inspection of every signature by both parties before votes are counted. Do not let electronic tabulations go unchallenged. The evil people who installed Biden through the 2020 election aren’t about to give up, now.
Mark Dunn says
Oh no, if you read David Cole on “Takimag,” you sir are probably a knuckle dragging moron. Mr Cole, because he’s smarter than nearly every person on the planet, says Republicans should forget all this stolen election nonsense and move on.
Kayster555 says
you mean like the Democrats and Hillary did in 2016?
Semaphore says
The “stolen election nonsense” is not what bothers me. It’s the legion irregularities in the vote gathering and counting, the signature mismatches, the truckloads of absentee ballots in the wee hours, that are cause for concern. We need election intregity, but faced with these irregularities, can we really ensure we have that? I don’t want our elections, and thus our republic, become a 3rd world farce.
Lightbringer says
Taki is a knuckle-dragging moron. Aside from that I know nothing about his magazine or its writers.
Sword of The Spirit says
Drunk by noon each day is my bet. If I had to take orders from Obama and his minions every day I would stay drunk too. Then after noon they probably feed him adderall and valium with thorazine to shut him up.
SPURWING PLOVER says
the Blunder just keeps on humiliating himself to the whole world and showing he was a bad pick for being a World Leader
Kayster555 says
How about the people that voted for him? They have a lot of blame for what has happened to this great country and us with the high prices these last 3 years nearly now.
Steve says
So many of his voter are dead. Or illiegal aliens.
Kasandra says
The only news platform I’ve seen this on was Sky News Australia. So as far as almost our entire population knows, this never even happened.
World@70 says
Did our Pretender -in- Chief cross himself in the Greek Orthodox manner? I recall him saying he crossed himself like this in a speech while trying to pander to the G.O. crowd.
Following dani’s comment, I reviewed that U-Tube vid and Biden used the Roman Catholic left to right manner to cross himself and expose one more minority group of people we can cross off his pretend list.
aVoice says
My sleep is easy and restful knowing that our President is the custodian of the nuclear “Football” and the code card, the “Biscuit”.
What could possibly go wrong?
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Just about everything. 😉
Nothing has gone right yet these last 3 1/2 years. Except, of course, in the delusional minds of him and his nursing staff.
Aebe says
Round up the left, drive them down to the border and boot them over it.
Throw them out, every one.

Atikva says
I watched the video and yes, it was definitely a sign of the cross made just after PM Netanyahu mentioned (no doubt with tongue in cheek) that both had been friends for a long time. As a Catholic, that’s the kind of gesture I would expect from another Catholic, meaning: “and it has lasted too long already!”, or “and what an ordeal it was, I was carrying my cross the whole time “!
From a vulgar politician focusing on making his fortune who couldn’t care less about Israel – or any other country for that matter – the gesture is understandable. From a supposed Chief of State during the official visit of a Prime Minister, this is not only a lack of diplomatic skill, it’s just plain vulgar.
But what else to expect from a Biden?
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
True.
Hopefully he didn’t confuse the PM with a Ukraine or Romania politician or even one from Red China and ask for a raise in his grift money. The PM had a look of wondering what the fool could say or do next. Amazing symbol of America’s decline.
RS says
Both Joe Biden and Barack Obama disrespected the nation of Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. We listen and watch as leaders plot on how to undermine Israel. Sweet Beulah Land…. Israel is Back in its Land, but it must fight to stay there. Israel will receive the Land God promised them in perpetuity. That is when redeemed. Israel will experience. the fulfillment of all the promises in the Abrahamic Covenant. Genesis 12:1-7 and become the center of worldwide worship and learning.
Lightbringer says
We’ve been praying especially hard for that these past two weeks. Every time I say the second full paragraph of Shema I fully understand how great the rewards will be if the Jewish people love and serve Hashem with all our hearts and souls, and how those rewards will be withdrawn if we start saying, “We wanna be like everybody else! Let’s have queers taking up the streets for their obscene parades and let’s have a Planned Parenthood clinic on every corner…” We are not just like everybody else and we’d better come to terms with that.
John Blackman says
even if dementia joe had polled half the 81 mill . votes he supposedly got they would have got him across the line because orange man bad . a country gets what it wants and in this case they don’t want what they have got . america is done for . the dimocrats have now worked out how to fraudulently win . and they will do it again . the electoral process is corrupt and it won’t [ not can’t ] be fixed .
George says
Biden is possessed by lucifer, and even an exorcism won’t help.
RS says
THE UN SHOULD CONDEMN IRAN AND PALESTINIAN TERRORISM AGAINST INNOCENT CIVILIANS AND REFRAIN FROM ITS BASELESS CRITICISM OF ISRAEL WHILE EXCUSING THEIR OWN AGGRESSION.
They don’t mention Hamas aggression, terrorism, or thousands of rockets that rained down on Isrrael with the sole intentions of killing as many civilians as possible, and the failure to acknowledge that every country has a right to defend itself.
SPURWING PLOVER says
Just proving why he should never been nominated this stumbling halfwit is a disaster
Biden Your Time says
Biden is so unfaithful to the people of the faith he was born into, as well as the American people, his country and American values, that it’s hard to believe it was anything else more than some kind of show that he was meeting with Bibi under duress (perhaps to appease his puppeteer Obama, who would have rather he give the 4-fingered Muslim Brotherhood salute).
Patty says
BIDEN/OBAMA IS TURNING THIS COUNTRY INTO A SOCIALIST COUNTRY!!!!!!! THIS WAS ALWAYS OBAMA’S PLAN AND HE WAS NOT ABLE TO COMPLETE THE PLANS………WHEN BIDEN TOOK OFFICE ……..OBAMA’S SAID….”BIDEN WILL TAKE OVER WHERE I LEFT OFF”!!!!!!!!!! THIS HAS REALLY HAPPENED!!!!!!!! PAGE BACK TO THE OBAMA ERA…..THEN ADD IN BIDEN’S TIME IN OFFICE……COMPARE THE PROGRAMS??????????
M. Tiro says
Why this article? It’s obvious Biden has serious dementia.
