The three kings have risen and just in time for Good Friday.
From the bowels of Manhattan’s iconic Radio City Music Hall, President Joe Biden – flanked by his Democratic, ambulatory predecessors – was winched up on a platform from below the stage to roaring applause from New York’s finest (not the NYPD, we’ll get to that) on Thursday night.
Like an animatronic Disney character, stiff Old Joe waved and grinned and turned to acknowledge ex-presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama beside him.
The wealthy donors – paying up to $500,000 a ticket – gobbled it up.
However, to me, showing an 81-year-old candidate seemingly rising from the grave is a bad look.
But what do I know? I would have called the entire thing off.
For as these three Mount Rushmore-wannabes were milking rich Gothamites, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was comforting the young widow and infant son of a murdered New York City police officer.
Officer Jonathan Diller was killed Monday when a suspect with 21 prior arrests shot him in the stomach during a routine traffic stop in Queens.
Former President Trump attended Diller’s wake in Massapequa, Long Island to pay his respects.
The sitting-president – less than 40 miles away – was yucking it up with Stephen Colbert and Queen Latifah.

No matter, Democrats and their media stenographers declared Biden’s evening an absolute triumph for hauling in $25 million, making it ‘the most successful political fundraiser in American history.’
‘Success’ is broadly defined here.
If the Biden team’s goal was to portray their candidate as a decrepit elitist desperate to sponge off the sincere warmth felt for past Democratic presidents, then I’d say: Bang-up job!
Truthfully, everyone knew how bad this looked but the fancy-pants Manhattanite money was just too good to pass up.
Biden lamely tried to cover his dangly bits with a fig leaf, tweeting Thursday afternoon, ‘Folks, [Barack Obama], [Bill Clinton], and I are hours away from hitting the stage at our grassroots fundraiser in New York City.’
What grass is he smoking? The only ‘grassroots’ event I saw was hundreds of ‘Flood Manhattan for Gaza’ pro-Palestine idiots protesting outside Radio City on Thursday night.
While they were waving flags, snarling traffic, and scuffling with police, I was watching from across the street at the Fox News Channel’s headquarters.
The chants of ‘F*** JOE BIDEN!’ were so loud I thought I was at a NASCAR event.

They’re all lubed up and ready to rage against ‘Genocide Joe’ in a stomach-churning amuse-bouche for Dems before the Chicago convention this summer.
Meanwhile, on Long Island, mourners were coming to grips with the death of a 31-year-old police officer brutally murdered by a perp, whose rap sheet is longer than the list of carpet cleaners on P. Diddy’s speed dial.
Media mogul-turned-money man and Biden campaign co-chair Jeffrey Katzenberg justified the Biden gala like this: ‘Every dollar we’re raising is going to reach the voters who will decide this election – communicating the president’s historic record, his vision for the future and laying plain the stakes of this election.’
Trump emerged from the Long Island funeral home and declared, ‘We need law and order!’
Now, that’s the brand of talk that resonates with the people, who will actually decide the 2024 election.
You see, as ‘Good as Hell’ singer Lizzo serenaded the NYC crowd, many ladies living in NYC are feeling too good. There’s a new trend on the streets – women being randomly punched in the face.
Bravolebrity, Bethenny Frankel said she was smacked upside the melon by some homeless rando recently.
On Tuesday, Dulce Pichardo, a 57-year-old school bus aide walking home from work in Brooklyn, was punched so hard by 33-year-old nutbar Franz Jeudy that she lost three teeth, suffered nerve damage and had her jaw wired shut.
Hours after Jeudy’s arrest, he was back out of the streets.
The self-righteous liberal New Yorkers showering love on the Three Wise Men Thursday night are against bail, of course.
And, excuse me, Mr. Katzenberg, here’s one ‘historic’ issue for Biden to tackle: illegal immigration.
Look around New York City – you can’t miss the evidence of it.

Biden and his terminally unpopular, wildly ineffective Vice President/border czarina are happy to blame Congress for an unprecedented number of migrants on our city streets, but that won’t stop yet another caravan from arriving on Texas’ border within days.
The President is so weak on this that Mexico’s President was bold enough to go CBS’s 60 Minutes last weekend and publicly extort our country for a $20 billion payment to stem the flow of immigrants on his side of the border.
‘If they don’t do the things that you’ve said need to be done, then what?’ asked the CBS interviewer.
‘The flow of migrants will continue,’ Obrador responded.
Here’s the truth – no amount of Radio City cash is going to patch the holes in Biden’s sinking ship. In fact, last night just punched 10 new ones.
Need I remind everyone what happened the last time Democrats tried to buy an election?
‘Hillary Clinton Builds $150 Million War Chest, Doubling Donald Trump,’ trumpeted the New York Times in October 2016.
Nuff said.
And a split-screen of that Unholy Trinity with a cop-backing ‘Law and Order’ candidate is the very thing that hands the White House back to Trump.
