“Following Joe Biden's gaffes, First Lady Jill Biden asserted that the November elections is about "character of the person leading" the United States.”

Here is an example of irony, sarcasm, satire, and paradox rolled together in one news report.  The Hindustan Times reports on partisan efforts to spin Biden's less-than Presidential participation in a European Summit to a group of US voters who have experienced the most Presidents.  The article...

“The "Federal-State Modern Grid Deployment Initiative" comprises 21 states, all notably with Democrat governors”

You know Joe Biden is in trouble when he has to buy the support of blue states.  Gotta love how 800,000 Texans losing power justifies spending Federal money in only blue states.  There ain't no way Texas will see any infrastructure money as long as Granholm controls the credit card.  Granholm...

“Joe Biden is running out of time to reverse his meager approval ratings before the election.”

Joe Biden doesn't have enough political capital to do anything.  Wall to wall 'but Trump' distractions won't transform Joe Biden into a President that can accomplish anything.  Biden has become a lame duck President before he can win reelection.

“The problem was not the jury, but the prosecutors and the judge.”

Yes, the New York show trial against Donald Trump was politically motivated and rigged from the beginning.  The legal justifications for the trial were even more convoluted than those for the Roe v. Wade decision.  Bragg, Biden, Democrats, and the unbiased liberal press are trying to scapegoat...

“Polling shows Joe Biden's campaign is in trouble, and the Donald Trump guilty verdict won't change that.”

Democrats biggest problem ain't Donald Trump.  Trying to make 2024 a referendum on Trump won't allay fears that Biden is out of touch and incompetent.  Biden has already tarnished the glamor of the Democratic Convention by having to accept the nomination early to fix his own screw up of the...

“You can't count your hostages until they are home”

Yes, it is time to shift the world's attention back onto the hostages.  Netanyahu cannot do that while advocating for continued military operations in Gaza.  Now that Biden has volunteered to walk into his own minefield, the hard liners in Israeli can be reluctantly agreeable.  The Palestinians...

“He is the first former U.S. president, and first presumptive major-party nominee, ever to be convicted of a crime.”

What an amazing chain of events has begun unfolding in less than 24 hrs.  Alvin Bragg exits the courtroom and tries to shift blame onto everyone around him; the prosecution team, the jury, the court itself.  Bragg certainly wasn't taking a victory lap which is most unusual behavior in New York....

Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton cannot hold the center any longer.  The world is turning away from American neoliberalism.  Those rust belt profits are not going to pay unwanted dividends.  But, hey, greed is good and the rich got theirs.  Just look at all the U-Hauls lined up to pass through the...
