h/t ron-long: I wonder if Kerry plans any more photo ops with accused narco-terrorists, to help the Biden campaign?
John Kerry to leave White House to assist Biden re-election campaign
Kerry’s office announced the news on Saturday after he had informed his staff and spoken with Biden earlier in the week
John Kerry, the United States’ special climate envoy and former secretary of state and presidential contender, plans to leave the Biden administrationlater this winter and switch to helping Joe Biden campaign to be re-elected to the White House, Kerry’s office said.
Kerry informed his staff earlier on Saturday after speaking with Biden this week, a spokesperson for Kerry told Reuters.
Politics news outlet Axios first reported the news about Kerry, 80, on Saturday.
…
He believes that a second term in the White House for Biden would be the “single biggest” difference for progress in the climate crisis, Axios reported, initially citing a source close to the administration.

Imagine having someone on Kerry on your side while you are trying to win an election.
Kerry is kindof the gift which keeps giving, for us at WUWT. Here’s my favourite example of Kerry trying raise climate awareness, managing to offend pretty much everyone by comparing climate action to the D-Day pushback against Hitler;
Biden climate czar John Kerry likens D-Day invasion to battling climate change: ‘The fight of our times’
Thousands of American and allied servicemembers died in the June 6, 1944, invasion
By Brandon Gillespie | Fox News
Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry celebrated the 79th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of Normandy by likening the historic event that resulted in the deaths of thousands of American and allied service members, and the eventual victory over the Nazi regime, to the fight against climate change.
…
“Today is June 6th. D-Day. One of the most singularly important moments of history,” Kerry told those in attendance. “A moment that calls to mind every single thing that defined the past half of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century.”
“They were fighting for a set of values I would say to you are just as important today as they were then. They put their lives on the line to fight against fascism, tyranny and misinformation and the savage slaughter of innocent lives,” he said.
“Make no mistake, just as that was a fight for the future as much as anything we have ever faced, what we are seeing now is the same,” he later added.
…
“What is also clear right now is we can also win this fight, but it requires the same level of innovation and mobilization that was required back then by those in the greatest generation,” he said. “Today’s threat comes from all of us. It comes from the result of the things we do or avoid doing.”

There is no word on exactly what Kerry intends to do for the Biden campaign, though it seems obvious Kerry will be involved with injecting energy into the Biden campaign, and winning over young voters.

Hard to believe the incredible arrogance of the man, if he believes what he says. Let me take that back. In a lineup of climate alarmists, he just looks like a regular Joe.
Kerry is incredibly arrogant. He believes he and his arguments can make a difference. Kerry has a very high opinion of himself.
I don’t know anyone who is looking for advice from John Kerry, other than maybe Joe Biden.
I think Kerry’s resignation may have something to do with the heat being put on him by Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives.
They were asking Kerry last week to tell them all about the people who worked underneath him in the Climate Czar office and how much they were being paid, and Kerry more or less, refused to answer their questions.
And my local representative to the U.S. House has been floating a bill to cut off all funding to Kerry’s Climate Czar office. And others are doing similar things.
So I think Kerry has a little bit of incentive to leave the office now and make it look good by saying he intends to campaign for Biden.
Maybe he’s embarrassed after Willie Soon called him out for his ignorance on Tucker Carlson the other night.
Check out the video at minute 8:30…
https://youtu.be/P-yDzHApXiw?si=WrmdDiinyky3wU8s
Is that that the right link? Anyway, at about that timing in the link you gave- he said that climate science is very, very simple. Only a simpleton would think that.
Not only is he a Climate Hypocrite but now he shows himself as an Idiotic Denialist. Surely even He can see the Mental Problems Biden is influenced by.
Watch a couple of minutes. “Imagine if you will” a Biblical firmament…
8:39 to 9:30…
The quarter to half inch thermal blanket is one silly thing, he also said that 57 degrees Fahrenheit is the ideal earth temperature.
I think that this is the link you wanted. Great interview by the way!

Thanks for finding that. I wish they hadn’t led with abiogenic oil though. The climate crackpots can easily respond to that. It’s not that we aren’t going to run out of oil. Even the most ardent nitwit (Simon, Griff, Loydo, Nail etc.) can tell you that it’s CO2 going into the atmosphere that’s the problem, albeit the problem in their easily deluded heads.
When the rats start to leave, you know the ship is sinking ……
I think you have to put the two together. The one shows Willie Soon making his comments about John Kerry and the other one has John Kerry making the statement that Williw Soon criticises.
It only to a little while for Kerry’s words to make it clear that governments are the root cause of the majority of the world’s greatest problems.
Kerry isn’t embarrassed by anyone or anything. He is an alpha narcissist. I worked with him and Biden back in the 80’s and never met two people of such low qualifications. I have other derogatory terms but won’t mention them if just for the children.
“He is an alpha narcissist.”
I think that is the proper description of Kerry. In Kerry’s mind, he can do no wrong. And he resents anyone challenging his “superiority”.
As I just posted above, when a ship is sinking, the rats get off it. What does a demoRat do – he/she lies through its teeth. He’s not going to be helping Biden. That’s another smokescreen/lie to cover his grifter @ass as he exits.
I’ve watched Kerry in congressional hearings – by far, the most arrogant person I’ve ever seen being questioned in such hearings. When he gets a question he doesn’t like, the look of horror on his face! He’ll often just interrupt the questioner. It’s as if an elite like himself shouldn’t have to be subject to questions from our elected representatives. It’s beneath his dignity- which is how he presents himself. No doubt it’s tough to sit there and asked tough questions- but it’s more manly to do it with some self restraint and humility.
Biden doesn’t call the shots on anything.
The “faceless men” running the Democrat party manipulate every aspect of 46’s government, and beyond.
They don’t want a change of president, lest the new one isn’t as compliant as old Joe and his old missus.
And the great tragedy of all this is that Biden doesn’t have any family who are willing to step in and halt this blatant elder abuse.
I thought something similar the last time I saw him on video.
It’s not just frightening that the POTUS is so mentally infirm and a puppet for others, it is genuinely sad. His wife, if no one else, should step in and say “enough”.
Yes, Biden looks like his mind is wandering more and more as he tries to function in public.
Biden’s wife has to practically hold his hand in everything he does.
He wouldn’t last five minutes on a debate stage with a Republican.
“Biden doesn’t call the shots on anything.”
Apparently. Biden doesn’t even know where the Secretary of Defense is located.
And yet here the U.S. military is carrying out strikes in the Middle East on numerous targets. Who is directing all this activity?
Biden doesn’t need to know where Sec of Defense is, or what he is doing. Biden’s day to day activities don’t relate to that. Biden is told what is going on by ‘others’.
If they can get Lloyd Austin before congress again, and the handlers have not guessed the questions & choregraphed the responses, they need to push him on his real contacts/notices during his hospital stay to shed some light on who is running the whole show.
On that subject, and sticking with the Tucker Carlson theme, check out a couple of interviews Vivek has done recently on the faceless now trying to get Nikki Haley on the ticket. Trying everything to keep Trump out of the White House. With Trump’s 10 digit lead in the polls (also known as 15% in the world outside the media BS), they know the game is over for the abused old man Biden.
I hope he’ll spend his campaign time in the basement with Biden. Though he might help the opposition more if he was more visible.
I firmly hope he’ll be out and about, giving interviews and generally helping Trump get elected. I expect many more screwups from Kerry – perhaps he’ll compare electing Biden and fighting climate change to the American Civil War? Or maybe to the Civil Rights movement? There’s just no telling how many Americans John Kerry can upset and annoy if he tries (I nearly said ‘put his mind to it’ but that’s the very opposite of what Kerry usually does).
Yeah, Kerry will just agitate people if he spends much time on the campaign trail out in public.
I think if Kerry does anything, it will be to smooze with the Elites in private where they can tell each other scary CO2 stories, and reinforce their delusions, while planning the destruciton of the Western world.
When I see an 80 year old man who looks like he spends a fortune at his hair stylist, it makes me sick. That type of vanity is repugnant to me- in a man.
thats gotta be a wig…
Let’s not forget that John Kerry called every American who served in South Vietnam as being baby killers and guilty of mass torture, and Kerry did so in testimony before the U.S. Congress and the whole world. Kerry’s anti-war efforts are well-known.
And then John Kerry later conspires with North Vietnamese negotiators to undermine the peace deals that were being made in Paris.
So, in reality, John Kerry is a dispicable liar and traitor to his country, and he fits right in with all the other traitors serving in the Biden administration. Birds of a feather, flock together.
Kerry’s arrogance is the least of our problems with this man.
He ought to be in jail.
he ought to have a burlap bag over his head and be in a basement, shackled to a post.
Kerry is no stranger to climate change or Biden propaganda. It’s one curmudgeon supporting another; a no lie limit poker game. First up, a hearse campaign tour of Wilmington DE…….
“”Kerry is kindof the gift which keeps giving, for us at WUWT. “”
Indeed he is and probably always will be. I find it difficult to say the least to gauge American opinion simply because the media is…. well, that hardly needs explanation, does it.
What can Beanz do for the puppet? He can make his 6 houses, 12 cars, 2 yachts and his private jet available to the cause…
His wife’s. He’s a kept man – the jets, yachts, etc. are all his wife’s. And the US IRS bought it hook, line and sinker!

Also, The family’s fortune originates from trading opium and tea between North America and China in the 19th century …
From the link:
https://asiapacificcurriculum.ca/learning-module/opium-wars-china
“The Opium Wars in the mid-19th century were a critical juncture in modern Chinese history. The first Opium War was fought between China and Great Britain from 1839 to 1842. In the second Opium War, from 1856 to 1860, a weakened China fought both Great Britain and France. China lost both wars. The terms of its defeat were a bitter pill to swallow: China had to cede the territory of Hong Kong to British control, open treaty ports to trade with foreigners, and grant special rights to foreigners operating within the treaty ports. In addition, the Chinese government had to stand by as the British increased their opium sales to people in China. The British did this in the name of free trade and without regard to the consequences for the Chinese government and Chinese people.
The lesson that Chinese students learn today about the Opium Wars is that China should never again let itself become weak, ‘backward,’ and vulnerable to other countries. As one British historian says, “If you talk to many Chinese about the Opium War, a phrase you will quickly hear is ‘luo hou jiu yao ai da,’ which literally means that if you are backward, you will take a beating.”
I see reports occasionally claiming the Fentanyl war in the United States is payback from the Chicoms for the Opium drugging of Chinese citizens in the 19th century.
I guess John Kerry’s family was involved in that in some way, if they are trading opium. Was your family trying to make the Chinese weak and docile and dependent, John?
Fentanyl is making many Americans weak and docile and dependent, and is making many of them dead. In the case of Fentanyl, you don’t have to be an addict to die from the drug. It is mixed with all sorts of other drugs and if you buy drugs on the street, there is no way you can guarantee you are not getting a fatal dose of Fentanyl along with the drug you were seeking.
It only takes one bad choice to take your life. And it is really sad that young kids who have no clue about this drug die from it every day.
And the Trafficer-in-Chief, Joe Biden, has not done a thing to stop this insanity. It’s unbelievable that he is not laying down the law to those responsible, but he is not. Instead, Biden enables this murderous criminality to continue.
It’s hard to imagine a president of the United States would do nothing while the nation is being invaded by criminals, and mental patients, and gangs and lethal drugs. But that is exactly what Biden is doing: Nothing.
And it’s not just Biden, it’s the whole radical Democrat Party that is behind all this. You don’t hear any of them complaining about the situation, do you? That’s because they are not complaining about it. It’s acceptable to them.
Radical Democrats are not fit to rule us. They screw up everything they touch. The last three+ years are a perfect example.
Brandon belongs in chains.
Kerry should go on a world wide tour preaching austerity (for the sake of the climate), from the steps of his private jet. That will resonate with the little people and they will all give up fossil fuels.
What was Maduro doing there and why did not someone capture him? $15M is good money!
It was in Colombia – Kerry was there on Biden’s behalf to beg Maduro to give them more oil.
Is that the trip during which Hunter’s luggage swelled to several bags?
Absolutely not. But they started with 4 ‘diplomatic bags’ and went home with thirty-seven!
Don’t know what he will bring to the table, Teresa is not going to allow any of HER money to given to Joe Xiden, she absolutely hates and despises Joey, has since the early ’90s.
The marxo-democrats are in panic mode, they will try anything.
“…they will try anything.“
_________________________
They did in 2020 and it worked, and you can expect them to do it again.
Wonder what he ever did to her? Sniff her hair, perhaps?
Actually it goes back further, bad blood between Sen John Heinz and Biden, then she refused to allow Joey to attend funeral service in ’91 I believe it was. John was the real thing, Joey was, and is still, a pretender. Think John was one of the people who called him out for plagiarism and lying about college record.
If she thought her husband had a shot at vice-president (behind harris, after biden is forced to quit) then she could be convinced to show a little support.
She either knows Kerry is a complete piece of shit, and she looks the other way, or she is a complete 100% fool. There is no way, on this one, there is room for any grey middle.
Lurch is not going to run, that train went off the tracks and burned in the ’90s.
Lurch is definitely high-energy, it worked so well for him when he ran for Pres. (and lost).
Any energy in injects into the Biden campaign will likely be intermittent and unreliable.
…he injects…
Yep! They’re calling up one loser to support another loser!
I keep thinking back to when LBJ and Carter had the sense not to run for a 2nd term. Biden is so dumb he refuses to acknowledge the reality of his situation.

Carter ran in 1976 against Ford and won, and ran against Reagan in 1980 and lost.
Carter ran and was defeated by Reagan.

Every time the Dems/Progs/Marxists try to do something to counter Trump it bites them in the ass. This will be no different.
John Kerry — lurching from one pointless “job” to another.
I’m guessing ole John will be called the “Campaign Czar” in his new job.
“There is no word on exactly what Kerry intends to do for the Biden campaign…”
I think that resigning alone will help Joe Biden. There are scores of people that could help Joe’s chances by simply resigning. Kamala Harris is the first one that comes to mind.
You’ve almost got to feel sorry for old Joe, surrounded by these morons, and the best hope for re-election is John Kerry. Almost.
Sorry for Brandon??
He PICKED the morons.
He picked no one. Everything he does or says is scripted for him. He even needs to be led by the hand from point to point. If he makes it to the ballot I’ll be surprised.
I did say ‘almost’ and Biden picked nobody; these were all picked by his handlers, not him.
Biden’s people are all Obama people, or at least the ones in important places.
One could almost say this is the third term of President Barack Obama.
The rest are all kooks and looneys.
Birds of a feather
Trump is not perfect …..no one is….but he is a lot more perfect than the criminal Joke Biden. Trump is a Saint compared to Joke. I believe Joke’s plan is cheat again to win and then after maybe a year….resign and leave it to another incompetent – Kackala. After Iowa and New Hampshire….the Repubes should unite behind Trump and stop wasting time and money. Joke needs to go…it’s no joke.
He doesn’t even know the vote was rigged. He thinks the people love him because that’s what he’s being told.
“Trump is not perfect …..no one is….but he is a lot more perfect than the criminal Joke Biden. Trump is a Saint compared to Joke.”
Trump is a Saint compared to just about anyone. I wouldn’t want my private life delved into the way Trump’s has been.
The radical Democrats have investigated Trump up one side and down the other and have found absolutely nothing they can pin on him. They are now reduced to creative lawfare in their efforts to get Trump. I think all these cases will eventually be thrown out of court because they are not based on the law.
So I would say, Donalf Trump is proven to be the most innocent man in history as he is the most investigated man in history. His enemies haven’t laid a truthful glove on him despite all their efforts which have been monumental. They tried as hard as they could, and they have nothing.
I see where Biden’s poll numbers are the lowest of his presidency. He is down to 33 percent approval. Biden has been such a disaster for the United States and his poll numbers show it.
The real number is likely less than 30%.
“Kerry is kind of the gift which keeps giving, for us at WUWT.”
Indeed, although he is but one of many. Michael Mann, James Hansen, Greta Thunberg (who doesn’t have a private jet, but a really nice boat), Al Gore etc.
All of which appear to have something in common – they’ve all made large (obscenely large in at least one case) amounts of money out of the climate change scam. When it collapses, I do hope they have the humility to give it all back? Hahaha, yeah right!
Yes, we have lots of comedy material to work with in the human-caused climate change debate. John Kerry is just one of many. But he does look like Lurch, so that’s something.
sounds like he’s comparing “fascism, tyranny and misinformation and the savage slaughter of innocent lives” with climate deniers!
now if he compared those terrible things to climate alarmists- he’d get it right
Don’t worry. John Kerry is always right. 🙂
That’s the way he looks at it.
John Kerry has a bad habit of attributing horrible murders to innocent people and groups.
He said, at the time of the Vietnam war, that U.S. Troops who served in South Vietnam were baby killers. All of them, apparently, since Kerry didn’t bother to single anyone out.
Today, John Kerry says skeptics of human-caused climate change are responsible for the savage slaughter of innocent lives.
Different time, different place, but the same old lies from this practiced liar.
From Spiked
“”Biden is likely to double down on this message in the weeks ahead. His campaign aides told CNN that Biden will be ‘ratcheting up the intensity’ against Trump in the coming months. The only question apparently is when to go ‘full Hitler’ and directly compare Trump to the Nazi leader. Judging by Biden’s Valley Forge speech, he’s pretty much at ‘full Hitler’ already “”
https://www.spiked-online.com/2024/01/14/is-trump-is-hitler-the-best-bidens-got/
Kerry’s new role?
I’m pretty sure that if Trump wins the Republican nomination, then Kerry will focus on portraying Trump’s climate change policies, or lack thereof, as a huge danger to all of humanity.
Trump, if he’s smart, will tell John Kerry, and the People of the United States, there is no evidence that CO2 will do any of the terrible things climate alarmists claim.
John Kerry will sputter and exclaim, “Of course, there’s evidence!”
Trump should say: “Ok, let’s see your evidence.”
And then we here at WUWT will take over the conversation and demonstrate that what Kerry presents as evidence is not really evidence at all. 🙂
the eventual victory over the Nazi regime
The National Socialists used the “democratic” process to take over the German government. A political process that was ostensibly based on freedom became the most tyrannical and vicious in modern history. As there are changes in every institution and organization over time, we are seeing developments in the US that don’t correspond to its Constitution. Some of these are related to changing technology, others to social changes. For instance, in the technology sphere, the US Social Security Administration continues to issue life-time cards that must be presented on certain occasions made out of cheap, fragile paper. Wouldn’t want advancing technology to change that happy circumstance. On the other hand, government mandates abandoning developed, reliable hydrocarbon energy and replacing it with experimental, unproven, sporadic, expensive renewable energy by executive decree. It’s uncertain how far the US federal government could actually go in changing the lives of its subjects but it appears we will find out.
Seriously? My comment is awaiting moderation?
Most Media use the N word – especially where Trump is concerned – and when quoting a source you’re kind of stuck with it
Is this news?
The n-word …
To get around moderation just type News@m, and the moderation is fooled.
From the quoted text extract from The Guardian in the above article:
” . . . and switch to helping Joe Biden campaign to be re-elected to the White House, Kerry’s office said.”
Upon said announcement, all prospective candidates to oppose Joe Biden in the next Presidential election are reported to have jumped with joy!
As a Canadian, I can’t imagine what Kerry is good for. All I can say is “Useless Elites of America – Unite!” is their call to arms against common sense.
Lets use the correct term, Oligarchs.
Those who are buying the votes of the American electorate, and controlling the propaganda of the US MSM.
Kerry is one of their Front Men. The public face (!) of the oligarchs.
I wouldn’t want Kerry’s face to be my public face, but I’m not an oligarch, so what do I know? 🙂
Kerry is sort of an older “Tru-duh” kinda guy….never in doubt in his mind that he is correct despite all his failures.
Never in doubt. A very good description of Kerry. He is confidently wrong on every subject.
I’m old enough to remember when Americans would mock an arrogant guy who made his megawealth via multiple marriages.
I figure as long as I have a carbon footprint a fraction of John Kerry’s, I’m the superior human being.
Kerry injecting energy into a campaign?? Are you kidding? You take a simply minded president and combine him with an old guy depressing guy that can’t walk and chew gum at the same time will not be a recipe for the incumbent’s success. They both will be more effective hiding in the basement.
But who’s going to replace Kerry? Biden has to have a climate czar.

AOC? Going for the female vote?
can she do two things at the same time?
Biden should put Kamala Harris in charge of controlling the Earth’s climate.
She’s done such a good job of controlling the Southern U.S. border that she should get a reward like this.
Kamala who?
Given Kerry’s competence level, this move helps insure Joe loses. Of course Joe is working hard on that himself. Bidenomics, southern border, Hunter, cognitive impairment…
I think there is a good chance the DNC will eventually ‘remove’ him because his polling is so poor, and run Gavin Newsom.
Eventually? They’re running out of time – I thought nominations had to be in around now.
My understanding is that because of the DNC superdelegates, they could even wait to the convention.
State primaries for political party candidates are designed to spend tax payer money on generating free advertising and calling it news coverage.
It is always the delegates to the political conventions that decide who the party nominees are.
I think the Democrats can finagle just about any candidate they want, at any time during the process. The big problem this year for the Movers and Shakers is Kamala Harris is in the way of putting a viable Democrat candidate up as the nominee for president.
Kamala would fair worse than Biden if she ran for president on her own. She couldn’t even get people in her own State, California, to vote for her. She dropped out of the presidential race last time before she was embarrassed by the California vote.
If Joe and Kamala both resigned, then it would be smooth sailing for the Movers and Shakers.
Joe’s approval rating is at an all-time low of 33 percent as of yesterday.
Who are these 33 percent? Well, they are the hardcore radical Democrats with a few clueless people mixed in. So what this tells us is the radical Democrats represent just a little more than 30 percent of Americans.
I saw a breakdown of voters yesterday and it had 30 percent Democrat, and 30 percent Republican, and 40 percent Independent.
If the Legacy Leftwing Media did not exist, and the truth were told, the Democrats would not stand a chance of ever being elected. But, that’s not the case. Instead the Media carries the water of the Democrats and convinces clueless people in the Independent category that all Republicans are racist and sexist and every kind of evil and Republican leaders are all wanna-be Hitlers.
Advantage: Radical Democrats. To the detriment of the United States.
Are you saying that when Gavin said he wasn’t running, at the start of the debate with DeSantis, that he was telling a whopper? Gavin lie – shame on you.
The RNC and Nikki Haley keep sending texts wanting money!
This despite the fact I mark their texts as junk.
This time I replied to a Haley text with: “I wouldn’t give you the sweat off my balls!”
Next message said “You have successfully unsubscribed”.
Hey! it worked! I didn’t think anyone actually read that stuff!
I suspect you will be hearing from Peter Buttigieg.
Thing is I never subscribed!
John Kerry is the living manifestation of everything that a useful, thoughtful, effective, kind and honest human is not.
And there’s plenty more in the wings.
