Every now and then you might hear somebody ask “I wonder who’s really calling the shots at the White House?”
The choice of opening entertainment at yesterday’s White House “celebration” over the Inflation Reduction Act (while inflation increased and the stock market plunged) might indicate that the answer to the above question is John Kerry — at least when it comes to who chooses the performers. James Taylor opened up this particular festival of gaslighting with a performance of “Fire and Rain”:

Astute observers spotted something about that particular song:

James Taylor, singing a song that reflects on the suicide of a close friend, his band's failure, and his own drug addiction really ties this celebration in with the thousand point stock market drop today. https://t.co/CX06S83KI3

🎶Won't you look down upon me, Jesus, You've got to help me make a stand.
You've just got to see me through another day.
My body's aching and my time is at hand and I won't make it any other way.🎶Yeah, that's fitting.

Let’s celebrate while James Taylor sings a song about suicide! 🎉🎉🎉 https://t.co/r5XGQiWSns— Amy, Doctor of Bitey Dogs 😈🐺 (@HindaRifka) September 13, 2022
And they bring on James Taylor to sing a song about SUICIDE!
You cannot make this up!
“The song follows Taylor's reaction to the suicide of Suzanne Schnerr, a childhood friend, and his experiences with drug addiction and fame.”

Having a rich entertainer come and sing at a celebration of the Inflation Reduction Act just after it was announced that inflation ticked up and the stock market was taking a plunge and then sending him back to Martha’s Vineyard is peak Biden administration.
James Taylor playing 'Fire & Rain" at the WH while the stock market was plummeting is akin to Nero fiddling while Rome burns..
Wonder if it's a repeat of history?🤔— Ann Marie (@Political_QRM) September 14, 2022
The band from the Titanic would have been a more fitting choice.

This administration is either the most tone deaf in history or is intentionally trolling the entire country.
