This weekend, France will mark the official opening of the restored Notre Dame Cathedral. But to represent the United States, France invited Donald Trump, the menacing president-elect, not Joe Biden, the lame-duck president. Alas, after his dithering withdrawal cost Democrats the presidency and his self-righteous pardoning of his son, it seems the tarnishing of Biden’s… Read more.
On Sunday, to the relief of sensible people everywhere, Joe Biden ended his reelection campaign and endorsed Kamala Harris to carry the presidential torch. In fact, how’s this for “divine intervention”: I’ll see your Trump escaping an assassin’s bullet by the skin of his ear and raise you Biden putting country above himself by withdrawing… Read more.
Biden channeling Trump Biden’s Trumpian delusions of indispensability are frustrating efforts to get him to withdraw. He stubbornly ignored private entreaties to do so gracefully. Now there’s a farcical mutiny afoot. But, with all due respect to Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, and others, they should have made their entreaties in November 2022 — after Biden’s blue… Read more.
Biden has immunity to end Trump’s campaign Biden and the Democrats should stop worrying and scaremongering about what a reelected Trump might do. Instead, they should realize that the Supreme Court just ruled Biden can use the DOJ, FBI, or even Seal Team 6 to ensure Trump never sets foot in the White House again.… Read more.
Democrats in panic Mere seconds after last night’s debate, every reporter and pundit on CNN shared how their phones were “blowing up” with messages from Democratic politicians, donors, and organizers. They were all panicking, bemoaning their party’s fate if Joe Biden remained at the top of their ticket for the November General Election. Thomas Friedman… Read more.
Hunter’s guilty verdict benefits Biden’s campaign A Delaware jury convicted President Biden’s son Hunter today on three felony counts for lying on gun-purchasing paperwork and unlawfully possessing a gun. Evidently, jurors found testimony about his notorious adventures and struggles with drug addiction wrenching but not exculpatory. He now faces 25 years in prison. Yet, Hunter’s… Read more.
Failure of US leadership The US Congress has dithered and reveled in dysfunction for months, delaying a crucial national security bill. This, even though members knew each day’s delay was costing an increasingly defenseless Ukraine dearly in both blood and treasure. US allies and enemies alike watched in utter stupefaction: Democratic allies expressed shock and dismay — as US politicians displayed… Read more.
Covering Trump vs. Biden Yesterday, President Biden delivered a speech in Pennsylvania contrasting his Scranton policies to help the poor and middle class with Trump’s Mar-a-Lago policies to enrich the rich and super-rich. But this might come as news to you. That’s because cable news networks were too busy covering Trump’s criminal trial in New York City. New York DA Alvin… Read more.
Klitschko’s antic pitch to a reelected Trump Ukraine is bracing for Russia to make a second attempt to take Kyiv. Hence, Zelensky’s desperate SOS to the US: cut the political dithering and deliver the long-promised weapons. For months, Ukraine has been bemoaning the failure of its US-led allies to supply weapons. This key factor has caused its forces to abandon villages in retreat. And all… Read more.
The fog of war Israel is right, of course. In the fog of war, sh*t happens. Except that, in twenty years of waging war in Afghanistan and Iraq, the US never faced credible allegations of genocide for mistakenly killing and intentionally starving people. Whereas, after just three months of waging war in Gaza, Israel found itself in The Hague, accused of genocide.… Read more.
