May the Fourth be with you. Actor Mark Hamill made a trip to the White House to visit President Biden on Friday.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre brought him to the press briefing. KJP swooned like a schoolgirl as he campaigned for the president's re-election from the podium.
Joe Biden's re-election campaign isn't going well, to put it mildly. Team Biden likes to bring in celebrities to sing his praises. Today is Star Wars Day. Hamill dropped by on Star Wars Day Eve and reminded the White House press corps of all of Biden's legislative victories. No, really.
He was wearing aviator-style sunglasses as he entered the room. Hamill claimed the president gave them to him.
"I love the merch," Hamill joked. "But listen, I just want to say I was honored to be asked to come to the White House to meet the president, the most legislatively successful president in my lifetime.
You know, I don't have to go through the list. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the PACT Act, the CHIPS Act, all that, inflation, 15 million jobs. It's all good."
Inflation? Team Biden's talking points lately have included talking about a decrease in inflation. Dementia Joe tells the press and campaign audiences that when he entered office, inflation was exploding. That's a lie. When he entered office in January 2021, inflation was at 1.4%. It remained below 3% until April 2021. Biden's economic policies and his out-of-control federal spending sent inflation to a 40-year high when it began to surge to 4.2%, then up to 9.1%. The legislative victories that Hamill touted were key players in raising inflation rates on American taxpayers.
15 million jobs? Wrong, again. Most of those jobs were filled by workers who lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When the pandemic ebbed, their jobs came back. The workers went back to work. The Biden administration has not created 15 million new jobs.
Hamill told the press that he thought he would meet with Biden for 5 minutes but the meeting went longer. He was shown Biden's photographs and met his staff. He didn't mention any policy discussions he may have had in the Oval Office but Hamill is involved in working on an app that was developed to notify Ukrainians of air raids.
"I had no idea just what went into what is on his plate on a daily basis," Hamill said. "It just shows you that one person can be so influential and so positive in our lives."
Old Yeller is influential in our lives and most Americans do not think that is a good thing. He has not been a positive influence. About 60% of Americans say they live paycheck to paycheck in Biden's America. The southern border is wide open. The world is laughing at us. Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan killed 13 members of the U.S. military and injured many others, including Afghans who the troops were protecting. Biden is a war president because of that withdrawal from Afghanistan - Russia exploited Biden's incompetence and weakness when he invaded Ukraine. Putin is taking journalists hostage who are American citizens as an additional jab to Biden's eye. Iran is using its proxy, Hamas, to try to destroy Israel and the Jews.
Is it positive for a candidate who claims to be saving democracy to ignore a ruling by the Supreme Court? That is what Biden is doing with his workaround on student loan forgiveness. He is spending billions of tax dollars to pander to young voters.
Most disturbing is how Biden has politicized every department and agency in the federal government. The DOJ is working against Biden's opponents and trying to jail Donald Trump to keep him from being re-elected. Biden is no better than a banana republic dictator.
When asked by reporters what the two men discussed, KJP said, "I really wouldn't put too much into it. [President Biden] meets with a lot of people here."
It was Hamill's third visit to the White House, though he said it was his first time in the Oval Office. He visited the Obama White House and the Carter White House.
May The Second Biden Administration Be As Productive and Successful As The 1st

A majority of Americans don't agree with Hamill - they don't want a second Biden administration. Biden and his administration are hellbent on destroying America as we know it.
Hamill is 72-years-old now. He was roasted by commenters on social media.

One tweet pointed out that there are lots of things that should be on Biden's agenda to address but the White House put forth a visit by Luke Skywalker.
Fox's Sandra Smith was a little surprised to see Mark Hamill popping up at the White House press briefing.

"I'm not a huge Star Wars fan so maybe that's exciting for some, but an interesting move on the part of the White House as there are big news events all over the country." pic.twitter.com/0sGInTr8u7
On Thursday, there was another visit by a celebrity. Scranton Joe is on a roll.
