Why do I bother reading this dreck?

Boston Globe: "Biden’s tarnished legacy and the problem of moral luck."

You'll be unsurprised to learn that - gosh darn it - Biden was forced into all these bad decisions because of Trump.  Trump is the answer to every question and the excuse to every failing. 
A critic might argue that Biden chose to serve as president and that these are the circumstances in which presidents might find themselves. But that is not true. The circumstances created by Trump’s rise are sui generis. One’s successor going after one’s family is not baked into the transfer of power in a democracy.
Orange Man Bad therefore Hunter must go free.  Every time.

Just stop, Boston Globe

Boston Globe: "As Trump causes drama in Congress, Biden stays silent and on the sidelines - Strategic or not, Biden’s public absence from a chaotic spending fight underscored a quiet final chapter of his presidency."

It's not 4-D chess strategy.  C'mon with this already.  

Written one month before the Trump-Biden debate

CNN's Oliver Darcy was very upset with the Wall Street Journal in early June 2024: "The Wall Street Journal’s story about Biden’s mental acuity suffers from glaring problems."

Never forget that the mainstream media actively engaged in this coverup:
“So it is here,” Cooke said. “All of the defenses that we hear from the press about how journalism works are fine on their own. It’s just that it’s not how journalism works when the subject is a Republican, and especially when the subject is Donald Trump.”
Exactly.

Now the truth can be told

Wall Street Journal: "All the News That’s Suddenly Fit to Print After the Election - New York Times readers finally learn that Biden policies spurred a wave of illegal immigration." 

Also, ICYMI, sheesh, who ever believed Joe Biden could serve four more years?  Crazy talk, that.

Follow this social experiment

Twitchy: "Wealth Tax: Governor Jay Inslee Just Guaranteed EVERY Rich Washingtonian Will FLEE His Tax-Happy State."

This class warfare was tried in Europe and it was a flop.  So let's very carefully set the rules and track the results of Washington's wealth tax.  Bezos already left but there are plenty of U-Hauls to go around.

Our national Ponzi scheme

Reason: "Social Security Is Deeply Unfair. The Social Security Fairness Act Won't Fix That. - What is paid out to Social Security beneficiaries is not a return on workers' investments. It's just a government expenditure, like any other."

Good. Do this.

New York Times: "Trump and His Picks Threaten More Lawsuits Over Critical Coverage."

Maybe - and I'm just spitballin' here - stop lying and you won't face a lawsuit.  You can start by giving back your Pulitzer for the Russia Russia Russia hoax.

"Let me pay your student loans, boss!"

City Journal: "Why the Working Class Rejected Bidenomics - Blue-collar and nonprofessional voters understood that Democratic economics supported college-educated elites."

You don't hate the media enough

Twitchy: "Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand Pressuring Biden to Put the Equal Rights Amendment Into Law."

What's worse is that the politics reporter for the New Yorker thinks the President can unilaterally amend the U.S. Constitution.  These people really live in a different world.

ABC News to make $15 million "donation" to Trump Library

Fox News: "George Stephanopoulos and ABC apologize to Trump, are forced to pay $15 million to settle defamation suit" - "As part of the agreement, Stephanopoulos and the network issued statements of 'regret' for comments that prompted the lawsuit."

This is the way.  ABC News will issue a statement of "regret" but what really should happen is an on-air apology from Stephanopoulos.

You're next CNN.  

Galaxy brain thinking

DOGE the USPS

Washington Post: "Trump eyes privatizing U.S. Postal Service, citing financial losses."

Even though it's a "stand-alone" entity, the USPS still siphons off billions of tax dollars every year.  I have no idea why it can't limit deliveries to three times a week.  Personally, I can wait an extra day for the junk mail I receive, almost exclusively. 

Please just go

Try to do minimal damage on the way out: "Sorry, team Biden — Americans don’t trust you on the drones or anything else."
