Donald Trump Had an Agreement to Debate Joe Biden, Not to Debate ‘Whoever Democrats Pick to Replace Joe Biden’

Hey, remember when it was a “right-wing conspiracy theory” if you thought Democrats were going to pull a Torricelli-Lautenberg switch and run some other presidential candidate instead of Joe Biden? Republicans float a quiet conspiracy theory that Biden won’t be on the ballot — NBC News, Oct. 26, 2023 Get Used to It: Biden Isn’t […]

‘Sundown Joe’ and World War III

Everybody got a laugh Friday when, after an airport photo-op with hostages recently returned from Russia, Joe Biden wandered away and climbed the steps of the empty plane. Media “fact-checkers” instantly went into spin mode, claiming that what we saw with our own two eyes — an old man exhibiting dementia symptoms — didn’t really […]

‘Return America to a Dark Past’

One of the things every liberal must believe is Progress, a quasi-religious faith which G.K. Chesterton mocked as “people who prefer Thursday to Wednesday because it is Thursday.” The apostles of Progress would have us believe that 1959 — the year I was born — was a nightmare dystopia, despite those snazy new Chevy station […]

Living in Interesting Times

New York Times journalist and “Morning Joe” panelist Mara Gay added that the Republicans “first instinct is just […]

Snopes Attacks ‘Unfounded Rumor’ of Biden’s Medical Emergency in Vegas

Last Wednesday, I reported (“Exit Strategy? Biden Tests Positive for COVID, Retreats to Delaware”) about the official reason given when Joe Biden abruptly canceled an event in Las Vegas. He was seen boarding Air Force One and hasn’t been seen in public since then. What happened instead was that on Sunday afternoon, the Biden campaign […]

BOOM! Trump Campaign Hits Harris Immediately: ‘Kamala Was In On It’

While today’s announcement caught me by surprise, obviously Team Trump was prepared in advance for this contingency: The Democratic party baton has not officially passed from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris, but already, the vice president is facing Republican attacks befitting a presidential front-runner. Only moments after Biden announced he would not be seeking reelection […]

BIDEN DROPS REELECTION BID; THROWS SUPPORT TO VP HARRIS

The elderly dementia patient is withdrawing his candidacy for a second term, but will remain in office as president: President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he will end his presidential re-election campaign, bringing an abrupt and humbling conclusion to his half-century-long political career and scrambling the race for the White House just four months before […]
