Do we even have a president right now?

WSJ: Biden isn’t in the game.

WSJ: Biden isn’t in the game.

Shouldn’t that headline be in the present tense?  Nancy Pelosi coerced Biden into dropping out of the 2024 presidential election after the debate with Trump showed that Biden was too mentally feeble to continue with the campaign.  If Biden is too frail to run for president, he is too frail to be president.  We haven’t had a function president since July.

Perhaps the WSJ is suggesting that since the election, Trump has been in charge.  Everyone acts as if he is.   While Trump was in Paris, meeting global leaders, Biden was sleeping through meetings in Africa.

I don’t want to hear another thing about the January 6th self-guided tour of the Capital building being a threat to democracy.  The corporate media and Democrat handlers hid the fact that Biden was running out of juice so they could cling to power.

Senior advisers were often put into roles that some administration officials and lawmakers thought Biden should occupy, with people such as National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, senior counselor Steve Ricchetti and National Economic Council head Lael Brainard and her predecessor frequently in the position of being go-betweens for the president.

Read the WSJ article if you are interested.  Spoiler Alert:  These three people have effectively been running the country since Biden was elected.

More than two-thirds of NATO countries have paid their dues.

AP NATO Defense Spending

A record 23 of NATO’s 32 member nations are hitting the Western military alliance’s defense spending target this year, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Monday, as Russia’s war in Ukraine has raised the threat of expanding conflict in Europe.

Trump doesn’t get enough credit for calling bullshit on NATO.  In 2016, Trump made it clear that if member countries didn’t spend 2% of GDP for defense, the US may not be as supportive.  The corporate media, progressives and anti-Trumpers cried about his incivility and lack of decorum.

In 2017, when Trump took office, only 4 countries were fully paid up.

Does anyone care about drone swarms over New Jersey?

Mysterious drones over New Jersey

More than three weeks after dozens of mysterious drones began popping up in the New Jersey night sky, the public has still been offered no clear insight on what the phenomenon could be.

This is a huge story that reveals that corporate media and the federal government have failed.  Finding the whole story is difficult, so I’ll pull from a few reports.

Racist programs eliminated at state universities.

College Fix: Race-based programs at Ohio law schools

Five public law schools in Ohio are ending their scholarships and programs based on race following a conservative think tank’s investigation.

The Buckeye Institute, based in Columbus, Ohio, launched the investigation this year into five law schools at Ohio State University, Cleveland State University, University of Akron, University of Cincinnati, and University of Toledo.

It’s great that the Buckeye Institute got law schools to drop racist programs, but why did those programs even exist?  Ohio has a Department of Higher Education intended to advise the governor and General Assembly on higher education issues.  What have they been doing?

Ohio has a Republican governor with a General Assembly that looks like this:

If Ohio can’t address divisive progressive policies and eliminate DEI in state universities, then what are Republicans even good for?

Where did all the 2020 mail-in ballots come from?

A good friend called “bullshit” on my suggestion that the 2020 election was shady.

In a kidding-not kidding way, he diagnosed me as having had a mental breakdown.  My experience bringing automation into heavy manufacturing plants required me to develop a thick skin.  I take no offense, and interpret my buddy as not kidding about his actual puzzlement at my election assertion.

Which presidents talk to the press?

This article is interesting because the numbers aren’t what I’d have guessed.  The graph lumps press conferences in with interviews, but the article provides more detail.

Biden hid from the press, but I wouldn’t have guessed that Reagan wasn’t out there more.

I got on this track because, “The White House press corps is already “exhausted” at the outset of the second Trump administration.”

It’s never appealing to hear people complaining about their jobs, but it is appalling to hear grumbling from the White House press corps.

Being a part of the White House press corps is, I understood, a prestigious position for a journalist.  They really aren’t going to like it when bloggers and social media influencers are given press passes.

The White House press corps was derelict in their duty to inform Americans about President Biden’s frailty and deteriorating mental health.  They should be ashamed.  

In an alternate time-line, the corporate press would have reported on Biden’s condition, Dr. Jill would not have insisted upon a second term, the Democratic Party would have held a legitimate primary, the world would not have learned that Kamala Harris was dumb and unprepared, nobody outside of Minnesota would be familiar with Tim Walz and some other Democrat would have run for president against Trump. 

The election result may have been the same, but it wouldn’t be as embarrassing for the Democratic Party.
