Parody As a Weapon Part XXXIX

Earlier this month in Part XXXVIII, we stayed in the realm of song parody, as we examined the role of the kindness and generosity of others in Hunter Biden’s life. This week, we will once again stray away from the familiar recasting of song lyrics to mock the left, and explore travel and tourism in the region of Joe Biden’s adopted home state.

Spring arrived somewhat tentatively in the Brandywine Valley, which is a subregion of the Delaware Valley, which is the basin of the Delaware River as it flows from New York State to the Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean, forming the border between Pennsylvania and New Jersey and then Delaware and New Jersey. The Brandywine Valley includes parts of Pennsylvania’s Chester and Delaware Counties as well as the northern part of Delaware’s New Castle County. Though the price of gasoline there has increased more than 120% there in the last 16 months just as it has in the rest of the US, as the summer travel season approaches, we will offer an opportunity close to home for those on the East Coast, and historically enlightening for all.

On the City of Wilmington, DE website, I came upon this tourism-related article written and posted in January of 2021. The reader and potential tourist is given recommendations for locations to visit in order to follow in the footsteps of Joe Biden. Before any tourist maps are marked indelibly, today’s article will follow in the footsteps of the article, in order to help any potential visitors to not step in what America stepped in and in which we remain immersed since the January, 2021 inauguration.

It is not recommended that the safety-conscious stop by the Biden Welcome Center on I-95, given the occasional shooting there and the plaza’s reputation as a gay cruising site. While the University of Delaware’s Newark campus offers many scenic sights, the Biden library there will not accommodate the history-minded tourist interested in research, and the card catalog there likely has been purged of any reference to Tara Reade, the former Biden aide who claimed she was sexually assaulted by then-Senator Biden in 1993. The University has also purchased and razed the site of the former Chrysler automobile assembly plant on College Avenue, which was closed as Joe Biden took over the auto recovery task force following his election as vice-president in 2008, thereby making it difficult for vengeful former owners of K-Cars to locate the scene of that crime.

Strongly recommended for visitors is the current iteration of The Stone Balloon. Once a venue for many of the up and coming rock stars and bands of the 1970s and 1980s, founder and original owner Bill Stevenson has a number of distinctions, though for the purposes of this tour, his marriage to Jill nee Jacobs, now known as Jill Biden is of note. Biden began dating Jill while she was married to Stevenson, who suggests it began much earlier. When their long and contentious divorce failed to produce the cash settlement Jill wanted based on the success of The Stone Balloon, Stevenson found himself the target of state and federal investigators, and wound up serving state and federal jail time for drug and tax charges, including stints at Wilmington’s Multi Purpose Criminal Justice Facility, now known as the Howard Young Correctional Institution at 1301 East 12^th Street in Wilmington.

While on Wilmington’s Northeast side, the tour in the original article recommends visiting the former Prices Run Pool , which has since been named for its former lifeguard who used to torment the dimunitive (5’3”, 135pounds at his peak) Corn Pop on the high dive there. Again, the safety-conscious will avoid this blond hairy leg of the tour, as rusty razors from the rain barrel wielded by offended bathers are no longer the biggest hazard here .

For those interested in gunplay, the original article notes Janssen’s Fine Foods in Greenville as a place for fine cuisine, however, the dumpster behind it has been the source for handguns for the underprivileged in the past, as a result of the generous efforts of Beau Biden’s widow/ Hunter Biden’s paramour Hallie. While the Starquest gun shop where Hunter gave false statements in purchasing the firearm is currently on the Concord Pike north of Wilmington, it was previously located on March Road near Silverside Road, just a short distance from the border with Pennsylvania and the nearby Booth’s Corner Farmer’s Market in Bethel Township, PA. A former police chief in the jurisdiction has told the tale of the time as a patrolman that he found the Senator of the neighboring state in flagrante delicto with an unidentified female staffer in the parking lot of the closed market, which makes this a worthy stop on the tour in addition to the opportunities to shop for great food and produce.

The original article lists several restaurants and food service locations where one might dine in or take out fine food. Travelers should not be surprised if the proprietors of any food establishment insist on payment in advance when hearing of a patron following in the footsteps of Joe Biden, as a reputation as a deadbeat in the area has been well-earned. Absent from the list is Katie’s, the former restaurant at Sixth & Scott Streets in Wilmington that Biden invited Sarah Palin to visit with him in the 2008 Vice Presidential debate, despite the eating place having been closed for decades, and now demolished.

Other demolished sites from the Biden tour include the former steel plant in Claymont, DE across and up the Philadelphia Pike from Joe’s high school alma mater Archmere Academy. Like the Newark Chrysler Plant, this was a thriving manufacturing facility when Biden came to Delaware, and it too no longer exists. Likewise, the General Motors Boxwood Road Assembly Plant was shut down when Biden became the Obama administration auto recovery czar. It was later razed after a decade of inactivity and a failed attempt to have Fisker take it over, and was rebuilt as an Amazon Distribution Center during the Trump administration.

One site not noted in the original article is closer to Wilmington on the Philadelphia Pike. This is St. Helena’s parish, located in the quaint suburbs north of Wilmington, where Joe Biden completed his grade school education after moving to Delaware. Of course, like so many other spots on the Biden trail, safety considerations make us unable to recommend the stop.

It summary, prior to Joe Biden’s arrival, Delaware was a safe and thriving place with a vibrant business and manufacturing sector that included a steel and two auto assembly plants. After a half century of Joe Biden as an office holder here, the plants have been closed and razed, and Delaware’s major business is hosting corporate litigation to resolve patent disputes. As a result, the opportunities for those who might escape impoverished circumstances through well-compensated blue collar jobs have reduced considerably, and violence has increased accordingly. Joe Biden has always courted the votes of those below the poverty line, and increased their numbers (and miseries) whenever he received them.

The last 14 months has shown that in short order, Joe Biden is capable of inflicting what he has done to Delaware to the rest of the country.

For our next Delaware travel installment, look for the Hunter Biden scavenger hunt, and visit the places where the President’s surviving son might seek out the commodities that help him to enjoy life and satisfy his needs when in town (including any necessary repairs for tech devices).
