“Joe Biden is no longer running for reelection. Democrats like Barack Obama and Kamala Harris praised his withdrawal as a step that put the country...”

Okay, the election has now become surreal.  Donald Trump was shot but Joe Biden didn't survive?  Democrats are united in praising Joe Biden for quitting the race?  Only by quitting the campaign could Joe Biden focus attention on being President?  Now the party of convicted felons is the party of...

Could geo-engineering help save the planet?

“It isn't a silver bullet that's going to solve everything but it possibly could be part of an array of solutions.”

There is a lot of misinformation to unpack here.  Unfortunately that has become all too common for reporting on climate change.  It's a consequence of political scientists perverting and subverting the work of real scientists for fun and profit. First of all, the planet does not need saving....

Dems want to replace Joe Biden: What about Hillary Clinton?

“In the increasingly bloody amphitheater of American politics, the idea of Hillary Clinton making another presidential run might seem like...”

Bad idea.  There is little doubt the United States has entered a post Reagan era.  Hillary Clinton is obsolete and will tear the country apart trying to make herself relevant.  People don't seem to recognize that the world has spun into chaos under Joe Biden's leadership simply because Biden is...

“Republican national convention described as 'the happiest place on Earth' as Democrats fight and Biden gets Covid”

Democrats, as soon as Joe Biden was inaugurated, began planning to make the 2024 election a referendum on Trump.  That plan was thrown on the scrap heap by 90 minutes of public disclosure.  The electorate tuned in to watch Joe Biden roundly thrash Donald Trump.  But they were completely...

Europe must brace for decade of Ukraine War - Nato chief

“The "paradox" is the longer Nato commits to Ukraine the faster a resolution will come, Jens Stoltenberg says.”

Yes, it's rather obvious why the Ukrainian war will be prolonged.  The problem is not money or weapons; it's manpower.  Neither Ukraine or Russia have sufficient manpower available to drive each other out of defensive positions.  The Ukraine has not become a war of attrition because there has...

Democrats see "aura of inevitability" around Biden withdrawal

“If Biden does exit the race, Brown told Axios that choosing anyone but Harris would be "disrespectful" to Black women.”

Elections were held.  Votes were counted.  The results were certified.  Joseph R. Biden won those elections and earned the delegates to become the Democrat nominee.  Weren't the elections free, fair, and honest?  Didn't democracy work?   If Democrats will use a coup to remove their own elected...

Trump to give RNC keynote, says he'll stress 'unity' after assassination attempt

“"It's a moment for the country," one person said.”

The one thing we've learned about Donald Trump, over the last 8 years, is to expect the unexpected.  We know that the Republican Party has united behind Trump without the need for any arm twisting.  Republicans are happy to be where they are and are happy with their nominee.  Republicans don't...

Dems stand down on DNC complaints after aggressive pressure campaign

““No doubt about it, they were trying to twist arms and break legs.””

Democrats are united, fired up, and ready to mail their ballots.  (Remember when that was 'fired up and ready to go to the polls'?)  Anticipation for the DNC convention in Chicago is heating up.  Gonna be a heck of a party!

DNC sticks with Biden virtual roll call, despite doubts that it’s necessary

“The plan to renominate the president before the convention is getting fresh scrutiny as pressure builds for him to step aside.”

Quite the contrast between the RNC and DNC.  While Republicans wrap up an exciting and successful convention, Democrats are being forced to make their convention a pointless affair.  The legal mumbo jumbo is telling Democrats that the convention work must be done by mail-in voting to meet...

Biden's rescue operation: Leap left to survive

“Some moderates are frustrated that they'll pay the price if Biden remains at the top of the ticket”

Joe Biden throwing centrists under the bus just to hold on to power doesn't bode well for the future of the Democratic Party or the country.  Does anyone still doubt that Biden is presiding over the end of an era?
