Biden Claims He Knows How Maui Fire Victims Feel by Talking About a Minor Fire at His House
Maui victims are ticked: “After thirteen days. He’s finally here. Thanks for nothing. F*ck you. F*ck you.”
President Joe Biden always makes everything about him.
The trip to Maui to view the devastation caused by the wildfire was no different.
There are 114 confirmed dead and 850 missing. They might never find some of those missing people.
Why did Biden bring up the death of his first wife and daughter? I don’t get it:
BIDEN: “— America’s deadly wildfire — deadliest wildfire in over a century. And Jill and I have — what’s left — walked front — wat was left of it, we’ve surveyed the damage from the air as well. The devastation is overwhelming. To date, 114 dead. Hundreds of people unaccounted for. I remember when I got the call, my first wife and daughter, I was a young senator and I got a call in Washington, I hadn’t been sworn in yet, I wasn’t old enough. And I was hiring staff in the Capitol, at Teddy Kennedy’s office, and I got a phone call saying, from my fire department, the young first responder kind of panicked, you got to come home, there’s been an accident. I said, what happened? He said, your wife, she’s dead, come home, come home. A tractor trailer had broadsided her and killed her in a car accident, along with my little daughter. And I remember all the way down from Washington to home wondering what a lot of people here are wondering: What about my two boys?”
I mean, I guess what he’s hinting at, but come on:
Many people on Maui right now don’t know what happened to their loved ones, or are grappling with news of the deaths of close friends and family. “I know the feeling as many of the people in this town, in this community, that hollow feeling in your chest like you’re being sucked into a black hole, wondering will I ever get by this?” Biden said.

Then Biden talks about losing a home in a fire.
Except…he did not lose a home: Biden tells Maui wildfire victims, "I don't want to compare difficulties, but…" then tells a made up story about losing his house to a fire. According to a 2004 AP report, it was “a small fire…contained to the kitchen” that “was under control in 20 minutes.” pic.twitter.com/DNY0Tyatg7 — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) August 22, 2023 At the time of Biden’s small home fire, local fire chief George Lamborn told the Associated Press, “Luckily, we got it pretty early. The fire was under control in 20 minutes.” The AP reported that it was a “small fire that was contained to the kitchen” and that Jill Biden reported it to the emergency services. The news wire did not report that she was trapped inside the home and said no one was injured. But Maui residents are not happy with Biden. He’s been insensitive since the beginning, and they let him know how they felt: PERSON: “After thirteen days. He’s finally here. Thanks for nothing. F*ck you. F*ck you.” Maui residents are lining the road amid Biden's visit — with signs saying "he's too late," "he should've been here much earlier," and "actions speak louder than words." pic.twitter.com/Qnu6j3ogTt — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) August 21, 2023 Donations tax deductible

Biden is an anti-moral mass of cells with vocal chords. A true 21st century ‘progressive’ Democrat..
He is truly a listless vessel. Did you see the expression on his face behind the podium? It was EMPTY, no one was at home. SMH
BTW..
They might never find some of those missing people.
We are waiting to hear about when the schools sent little children home, because of high winds.. The mayor refused to answer questions about how many of the missing were kids.. I think they know very well.
Mr. 81 million ballots is a true vessel of effluvium.
Ty.. I was going to mention ballots not votes,, but I think everyone here knows it..
Speaking of votes, Maui voted 66.6% for Biden.
Having lived there for many years I love Hawaii and Hawaiians dearly. But 0n this particular topic (disgusting lack of support from Biden and the progressive marxists in general) I can only hope they have learned their lesson.
Meanwhile, all I can do is send aid donations and heartfelt prayers.
I feel for you. Myself, I’ve never been to Hawaii so I can’t begin to imagine. One thing about ‘progressives’…they don’t learn. They will cast about for someone else similar to what they have now and vote for him her or it. The blue narrative and failed policies must be maintained, even at the point of personal ruin.
I thought Obama made everything about him, but at least he was not as hamfisted as Biden. Biden was a bad liar before, but this demential addled liar is just incredible.
Narcissist-incompetent, Obama, is just as obnoxiously egotistical as dotard-marionette and crime boss, Biden, but, Obama’s glib manner and silver-tongued demagoguery are more practiced than the dotard’s clumsy narcissism.
Plus, he was never called out for being a fictional character. Imagine if he had been caught for pretending.
The whole Maui fire tragedy is sus as hell.
Wait until you see the bold face cover up and blame shifting. Nothing will rival it in our history I’ll bet, especially if the body count rises as high as some believe.
Not really. Die to the Green Energy Mandates the Hawaii Government crammed down the power company diverted most resources toeet that and did no maintenance on the power lines. When a guy noticed the fire and called in the jack wagon in charge of releasing more water to fight it prattled on about water spirits and equity or something until it was too late.
The only understandable thing was the sirens not going off. It was stated that they are mostly for tsunamis and the official was afraid if people heard it they would head to higher ground putting them in even more danger. I’ll buy that wrong decision or not. At least it’s plausible. Nothing else about that disaster is.
Mandates the Hawaii Government crammed down the power company diverted most resources toeet that and did no maintenance on the power lines.
Pretty much my thoughts exactly.
People are going to want to blame the power company for running dangerous lines. They won’t see (unless they look or think about this) that the power company has finite resources.
They almost certainly had workers willing and able to maintain the lines and mitigate or eliminate the danger …
… but a government mandate takes priority, every time.
And in this case, that mandate required the power company to divert its resources toward building up “green” energy projects, which took those resources away from infrastructure maintenance.
The problem isn’t cleaner energy projects; it’s pie-in-the-sky mandates that disregard reality.
Disagree. Whether the impact is direct or indirect the result of bowing to the environmental wackos is the same. This is the major flaw in how we usually oppose the environmental wackos, IMO, we don’t tend to focus on the clearly foreseeable secondary and tertiary impacts of these failed policies that flow from them which hit folks very hard.
Wow. Just wow. I’m surprised that Biden’s handlers didn’t have a speech prepared in advance that he could simply read off so that he could at least pretend that he isn’t the incoherent, babbling, dementia patient he actually is. But there you go and here we are. And this is why the democrat party is panicking. They realize this time around Biden is going to have to interact with the public. And if this is an example of how he does it they’ve got a huge problem on their hands unless they gin up another excuse why he has to hide away in his basement once again. But in the end, this is what allegedly 81 million people voted for and elections have consequences. It’s going to be a fun 2024 election year that’s for sure.
They will use any means necessary to institute lock downs and mail in balloting: https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny/news/2023/08/21/new-covid-19-variant-driving-up-hospital-admissions-in-n-y–
Who could have seen that coming? Well, it isn’t coming… it is here. SMH
NC had a breathless story on the radio last week about surging Covid numbers. Turns out the hospitalizations went up 2 over the previous week
The Eris (EG.5) and Fornax (FL 1.5.1) subvariants emerging just in time for the 2024 presidential elections to force Biden back into hiding and all the attendant election nonsense that will come from it. Gee, I wonder where those came from.
You must mean ‘try’ to institute another Covid hysteria. Pretty sure most folks ain’t willing to play nicely for another round of it. Certainly there will be far more immediate opposition and push back at the State level from Red States.
The bifurcation among the States on this will be interesting to observe. As will the response by business owners in the places who go totalitarian again.
The response by retirees in those locations could be interesting as well. Mortgage rates suck for selling but they could chose to rent their place out if they can’t sell. Home values are up somewhere around 500% since 1983 so Boomers who bought way back when and stayed put should have the ability to drop the price to get it sold if they don’t want to deal with renters.
I just don’t think the appetite exists to meekly allow another ‘two weeks to slow the curve’ that turns into years of harm economically much less the deaths from delayed or denied appointments, screenings and so on. Plus it would require another round of stimulus checks and the boondoggles that created. Doing that again puts another $6 Trillion of debt onto the balance sheets and at far higher initial interest rates than in ’20. Can’t afford it, I suppose the silver lining is that by doing so it would bring us closer to the end of farce that the govt can simply print $ endlessly without crashing the economic system.
“I just don’t think the appetite exists to meekly allow another ‘two weeks to slow the curve’ that turns into years of harm economically”
BOHICA — literally.
eugyppius, the plague chronicler:
Sure the leftist captured institutions like Universities may be able to do it inside their enclave. Several across the Nation are announcing this sort of crap.
That’s not the same scale as trying to impose it on the general public. The college students are a captive audience at this point in late Aug. Their financial aid /loan/ scholarships are locked in to a particular University. They already signed a lease for an apartment. Bought meal plans o paid for a dorm room, hell many of them are already on campus. They actually have a choice between two not great options bail out and lose money, setting their academic calendar behind or roll over and take it. Sucks for them but that isn’t the case for the broader public.
All they need to do is define “safe zones” that people have to enter often.
Post Offices. Federal Buildings, possibly state and local governments as well. Schools, Public transport. Airports. Medical services.
You’ll notice every place I named are already “gun-free zones,” and that’s not by accident. This is how they made it nearly impossible for you to carry a firearm o a daily basis–you have to disarm and safely stow it when entering any of these areas, robbing you of your freedoms and your right to self-defense.
It will work just as well for masks and vaxes.
Agreed about the potential for the Feds to designate facilities you mention.
What I am saying is that if the attempt is made for another Covid lock down with all the same BS as last time more people will be unwilling far sooner. Both ordinary Citizens and govt officials in the more Red areas will reject it up front.
In areas where the population wants it; blue enclaves, blue States or where public employees unions hold sway it will probably be accepted.
Yeah, I’m not sure anyone but the slackers and welfare are going to be all in like last time
We probably shouldn’t minimize the # of Karens out there who liked feeling as if they had license to berate folks over Covid.
I’m surprised that Biden’s handlers didn’t have a speech prepared in advance that he could simply read off so that he could at least pretend that he isn’t the incoherent, babbling, dementia patient he actually is.
On some level, his handlers and puppetmasters revel in occasionally reminding the country that they got this guy “elected” and there’s nothing we can do about him.
This is one of those times. The decent and human thing to so would be to write a good, heartfelt speech and have him read it as well as he can. So of course, they’re going to rub it in our faces by letting him ramble (and I believe they’re also hoping he’ll rub something else — or someone else — in his face).
Just to show us how powerless they think we are.
They did have a speech (he read off it) and then started ad libbing. You know his staffers were just cringing when that happened.
They only seem competent at making things worse.
Oh, look. He got leid.
It looks like he’s wearing a string of pineapple slices.
Appropriate — he’s been on somebody else’s dole all his life.
Sending out an SOS, sending out an SOS….
Once dit dit dit…dah dah dah…dit dit dit.
Now it is dit dit dah dit…dit dah dah dah…dah dit dit dit.
ISWYDT… maybe. POS?
Yes, he is, but no, that’s not it.
I see what you did there. Well done.
🎼🎶Three dits four dots two dits dah,
Biden’s president blah blah blah.
What a disgrace
It could have been worse: they could have sent cackling’ Kamala to throw some word salad at them.
I don’t think they had a choice. They know,,, I really, truly believe they know the fate of all those poor children. Close to 1000 victimes? 46 had to show his face. It will be harder and harder for them to make these dog and pony shows work.
46 had to show his face. It will be harder and harder for them to make these dog and pony shows work.
Which is why they are now trying to gin up another covid scare with the Eris (EG.5) and Fornax (FL 1.5.1) subvariants. All the easier to keep Joe isolated in his basement and away from the public that way.
It could have been worse; he could have retold the despicable lie about the truck driver being drunk.
Sucked into a black hole? Perhaps he was reading from Hunter’s laptop.
And, of course, he found a little girl to sniff.

The vile “Molester-in-Chief.”
I don’t like where his hand landed.
He should’a stuck with “No comment”.
It’s a pointless complaint. The alternative is Kamala.
I like how he’s wearing the leis like he’s on vacation. It’s all a big joke to him.
After watching this and many others from the past, I wonder how can there be 39 % approval for this moron? My yardman could give a better speech than this and his lack of any emotion is appalling! Like Hillary, the best way to defeat him is to give him more air time!
Like Hillary, the best way to defeat him is to give him more air time!
Indeed. That’s how Hillary lost, and that’s why Biden didn’t hardly leave his basement in 2020.
If the best way to defeat him is to give him more air time, then the best way for him to win is for him to never be on the air.
That is why they didn’t let him speak in 2020.
This type of inapposite, self-serving and ham-fisted attempt at empathy with the peasants of the proletariat is merely another indication of how utterly greasy, dishonest and phony crime boss and dotard-marionette, Biden, is. A posturing and inauthentic reprobate, to his rotten core.
It’s always all about him and his mendacious fantasies.
Crime boss and dotard-marionette, Biden, is a pure, obnoxious and unrepentant sociopath.
Vito Corleone at his most decrepit still had more on the ball than this windbag with his “classified Corvette.”
Biden is Fredo Corleone in his dotage.
“”It ain’t the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I’m smart! Not like everybody says… like dumb… I’m smart and I want respect!”
East Palestine, Ohio is still waiting for the promised visit. “No beach” must have been a deal breaker.
“No beach” and too many conservatives/Trump-supporters.
The people of East Palestine include too many dedicated hunters. That was the deal breaker.
Hawaii: 2 Dem Senators, Dem Reps Complete Dem State government.
Ohio: JD Vance
What we are watching in Biden here is the total detachment of humanity from out government. It is intentional — don’t fall for that doddering act.
Add to that our ho-hum attitude to a political candidate being targeted by government to remove him as the number one threat to their “elected” power…
And what have you got? A population who has been conditioned to accept tyranny.
“After thirteen days. He’s finally here. Thanks for nothing. F*ck you. F*ck you.”
And being Maui, the chances that the speaker habitually votes D are quite huge.
When you actually get to know Joe, you understand why he has to campaign from his basement.
I wonder if he can remember his first wife’s or daughter’s names at this point?
“ I remember when I got the call, my first wife and daughter, I was a young senator and I got a call in Washington, I hadn’t been sworn in yet, I wasn’t old enough.” Yes you were!
The Jackass and Chief. I think I will call A Place for Mom and give them Jill’s number.
Biden’s comments are horrible and in many ways, despicable. His lies and continued emphasis on “me” shows a lack of true empathy and leadership.
I don’t think anyone can dispute that.
With that being said, I have issues with Presidents showing up to “survey the damage” to begin with. A President showing up is, as we have seen here, a photo-op and a campaign stop.
Billions of taxpayer money is spent on agencies that are supposed to handle crisis and disaster like this. The agencies are the ones that have the supposed expertise – not Biden and frankly not any President.
The amount of people, time and resources to support these trips takes away from any and all relief efforts.
Presidents should 1) stay away from the area 2) call the state and say “what do you need?” 3) talk with agency heads and others to be informed of the situation 4) let the people of the area know the President is watching and working to coordinate efforts and to make sure the area has what is needed.
There is video of the Biden motorcade racing through the streets. It is at least 13 vehicles long and probably 20 cars. How much manpower had to be diverted to clear the route, ensure the safety of the President, etc to get that done?
If a President wants to fly over an area to see the devastation, that’s okay because the workers on the ground don’t have to stop their work. Other than that, stay the heck away from people actually trying to help and accomplish something important.
True Presidential leadership is not micromanaging and it is not “look at me.”
You have to wonder how many sharks this idiot has to stumble over before they just throw in the towel, announce his retirement and announce their first debate among the REAL Democrat candidates.
Keep dreaming, lefty. You faked him into office, now you pay. Karma is a bitch.
You are out of your damned mind. What did texvet do–or even have the remotest possibility of doing–that had anything at all to do with Biden taking office? Texvet has said he voted for Trump, Trump won Texas, so what is your childhood trauma?
Further, what on God’s green earth makes you, someone who just starting commenting here on May 30th of THIS year, think that texvet is a “lefty”? Or are you just using that term to smear our longtime readers for no reason at all except your own Trump derangement?
Please stop these unprovoked attacks on our longtime readers (who did not take a 10 year hiatus, as you claim to have done). I keep telling you, but you aren’t listening.
Sundowner’s brain is mush
As smooth and featureless as the new Lahaina.
The worst part is, I predict come November 2024, Hawai’i will still go for Biden, probably 60-40, give or take.
As they say, time heals all wounds. So the question is, as ticked off as the Mauis (and Hawaiians in general) are at the moment, will they still be ticked off enough to vote for a non-‘D’, 14 months from now?
I predict they won’t. Right now they might, but the mainstream media (a.k.a. the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party) will go to work playing up Biden’s “achievements” (and glossing over his shortcomings), while piling condemnation on whoever gets nominated to oppose him.
And 14 months is a long time in terms of voter attention spans.
Oh, they definitely will. And they will keep electing Democrats at the local and state level.
I know exactly what those people on the Titanic felt. I tipped a canoe over once. Didn’t think I was going to make it.
Pretty much this.
“I know exactly how the people felt during that tsunami in Samoa back in 2009. I visited the beach in California once, and the waves came up to my toes. I barely made it out alive. My wife and daughter had it worse; they were up to their ankles. It’s a miracle they survived.”
“I knew Mr. Coffee. Mr. Coffee was a friend of mine. The day I lost him in that kitchen fire is seared in my memory.”
At least he made it through the nonsensical screed without bringing up Beau again in his comments
