There seems to be no end in sight for the mind-boggling gaffes and age-related blunders of US President Joe Biden as the octogenarian head of state drops yet another clanger while bragging about a self-concocted analogy between the United States and the rest of the countries around the world.
The very latest installment in the recurring series of Biden attempting to deliver an unrehearsed speech hit a snag on Wednesday when he was speaking near the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge on the Ohio River to highlight his proclaimed success in passing infrastructure funding as well as the significance of bipartisanship with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
While boasting about the virtues of American infrastructure, the 80-year-old president veered off into a “phrase” he claimed to be paraphrasing from his “old neighborhood” by saying the “world is not a patch in our jeans.”
“Our best days are ahead of us. And I mean this from the bottom of my heart. I’ve been doing this a long time, folks. Our best days are ahead of us. Are not behind us. I’ve long said. I mean, this. I have never, ever, ever been more optimistic about America’s prospects. And am today. Never. Never. I’ve traveled over 140 countries around the world. I’ll paraphrase the phrase of my old neighborhood: The rest of the countries, the world is not a patch in our jeans, if we do what we wanna do, we need to do,” the US president said.
Biden’s off-the-cuff comment left many social media users struggling to understand what he was saying as a quick Google search turned up zero results for the esoteric expression.
“In today’s episode of ‘what the hell did @JoeBiden’ say?” RedState columnist Buzz Patterson joked in a tweet, posting a video of Biden’s remarks......More Below

For you youngsters out there, Monty Python’s skit, The Ministry of Silly Walks, helped make the members of MP legends. I had to reference Monty Python because the line of bullshit the Trump administration is feeding the American people and the world about the amazing, obliterating US attack on Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday morning, is more ridiculous that all of the silly walks pictured in the following video:
My hopes that Donald Trump would finally act like a responsible adult are dashed. He’s a dangerous buffoon. While the team around him are working frantically to maintain the fiction that Trump has a vision and is calling the shots on the foreign policy front, he is careening around the globe like an out-of-control cue ball on a billiards table. It started a week ago… first, he claimed...
