This won't happen

Townhall: "Biden Responds to Trump's Challenge to Debate Before November."

I'll tell you exactly what this is: Biden's ego getting ahead of his sense.  He has much too high of an opinion of himself to ever think he couldn't go toe-to-toe with Trump.  His campaign will walk this back on some flimsy pretense when crunch time comes.

Biden won't debate.

Why did it have to fail?

NY Post: "Inside the failed White House coup to oust Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre." 

The New York Times eviscerates Dementia Joe

Hey, maybe they are the enemy of this White House!  "Shocker: NY Times Absolutely Shreds Joe Biden for Hiding From the Media."

This is obviously the NYT trying to get ahead of the Politico story.  Here's the statement: "For anyone who understands the role of the free press in a democracy, it should be troubling that President Biden has so actively and effectively avoided questions from independent journalists during his term."

He can't do it.

Also: Biden won't debate. 

Imagine thinking the NY Times is the enemy

Politico: "The Petty Feud Between the NYT and the White House."

My favorite part of this article is how the NY Times wants a sit-down interview with the President, a tradition that dates back to FDR, and the White House response is: "hey, we've done two sit-down interviews in three years!"  

Absolutely brilliant

There are a lot of inside jokes here and you need an above-average knowledge of recent NFL history but - damn - this is funny:

New York lawfare

Jonathan Turley: "Alvin Bragg has his Trump trial, All he Needs Now is a Crime." 

Biden won't debate

Dementia Joe had another Ron Burgundy moment today: "Biden appears to read script instructions out loud in latest teleprompter gaffe: 'Four more years, pause'."

No worries!  The "Oceania has always been at war with East Asia" crew is on the job: "'Redacting Reality': WH Transcript Runs Cover After Joe 'Ron Burgundy' Biden's Teleprompter Struggle."

Every Biden appearance is choreographed, scripted and staged down to every notecard and teleprompter prompt and still he can't get through a single event without a gaffe.  Standing on a stage without a binder full of laminated pages?  It will never happen.

Biden won't debate.

The secret echo chamber

Ace: "Journ-O-List 2.0: Fake Reporters "Covering" the Trump Trials Get Together on Weekly Zoom Calls to Coordinate Their Biased Stories."

It is totally unsurprising that always-wrong Harvard professor Laurence Tribe is at the center of this circle jerk.  He's been pretty quiet since his stance of "of course Colorado can throw Trump off the ballot!" was smacked down by a unanimous Supreme Court.

The revenge of Tulsi Gabbard

Banana republic clown show

Ringside at the Reckoning: "How bad is Alvin Bragg's Manhattan prosecution? - Worse than you thought, because it will do more long-term damage than you thought."

In case you missed it, these charges are based on Trump lying to his own account register to commit a "crime" in 2017 to interfere in the 2016 election.

It’s worth noting that federal Special Counsel Jack Smith, no one’s version of a wallflower, chose not to go after Trump for the supposed federal campaign finance violation.

If this matter did not so seriously threaten our faith in law, I’d have to laugh, honestly. This really is like putting someone on trial for lying to his diary.

And, by the way, it's interesting that this prosecution for something that happened seven years ago is just now making its way to a courtroom, right in the middle of the Presidential campaign season.

Must be a coincidence. 

Cannibals ate my uncle

Federalist: "We’re So Sorry, Uncle Bosie: Biden’s Latest Trip Down Dementia Lane Is A Doozy." - "Biden’s whopper about his war hero uncle eaten by cannibals exposes bigger problems than his longtime trouble with the truth." 

Columbia surrenders to Hamas sympathizers

Hot Air: "Columbia Switches to Fully Remote Classes; UPDATE: Faculty Walkout in Support of Protesters."

As somebody quipped: do they get their student loans forgiven before or after the "Death to America" chants?

For a second, imagine that black students at Columbia were taunted with chants of "Go back to Africa."

Or imagine that a gay student at Yale was surrounded by homophobic protesters and hit in the eye with a flagpole.

Or imagine if a campus imam told Muslim students that they…

Always wrong, never in doubt

Legal Insurrection: "LA Mayor Begs the Wealthy to Help Buy Housing for the Homeless - Karen Bass now frames socialism as an “unprecedented partnership”."

Los Angeles had passed a "mansion tax" back in 2022 to stick it to Richie Rich and help pay for homeless programs.  To the surprise of absolutely nobody, real estate transactions plummeted and the tax only raised 22% of its original projection.

These people never learn.  

Trump knows how to work a crowd

Daily Beast: "Trump’s Bodega Visit Should Scare the Heck Out of Democrats."

On the other hand, Biden never has to worry about a crowd being around.

Haphazardly and irresponsibly

Boston Globe: "How Massachusetts spent nearly $1 billion sheltering homeless families and migrants."

In the scramble to accommodate thousands of migrant families, the Healey administration has approved scores of hastily arranged contracts with little transparency, sometimes handing out multimillion-dollar deals without competitive bids, a Globe review of contracts found.

Hey, Massachusetts has plenty of money for non-citizens.

Democracy is at stake!

Dementia Joe: "Trump will end democracy."

Also Dementia Joe: "I'm going to ignore the Supreme Court and try to jail my opponent." 

Democrats lie - repeatedly - about inflation

Defund NPR

USA Today: "NPR editor quit after telling the truth about liberal bias in media. It's time to defund them. - NPR in recent years has gone from being something I enjoy to something that more often than not leaves me shaking my head." 

This NY Times editorial is something else

And yet oh-so typical for the Times: "Donald Trump and American justice."

The former and possibly future president of the United States is now on trial in Lower Manhattan, the first criminal prosecution of an American elected to the nation’s highest office. Donald Trump, who relentlessly undermined the justice system while in office and since, is enjoying the same protections and guarantees of fairness and due process before the law that he sought to deny to others during his term.

How did Trump undermine justice as President?  The editorial never deigns to explain or offer any examples.  It's just taken as a given.

This is what it's like in the groupthink bubble where a dissenting viewpoint is not allowed.

Clown show PolitiFact doing what they do

Newsbusters: "PolitiFact Refuses To Give Rubio 'True' Rating For True Statement."

PolitiFact resorts to the classic "acksually" tactic whenever a Republican says something that is 100% true.
