Ari Fleischer on Joe Biden's interview: the worst of all worlds

Friday night, Joe Biden sat down for an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos. According to Ari Fleischer, "the outcome was the worst of all possible outcomes." Fleischer tweeted "This interview was the worst of all worlds for the Ds. Biden committed no real flubs. He didn’t do anything to force himself out of the race. But he appears old, weak, tentative and he’s losing to Trump. So Biden will dig in and stay. The Ds are stuck."

I'll disagree with Ari only in that Biden's stubbornness was annoying. When questioned by Stephanopoulos about trailing Trump, Biden said that he trailed Trump the entire way in 2020 but he still won despite the pundits' predictions. The problem is that he didn't trail in most national polls that year. If he led most of the way, there wouldn't have been any pundits predicting his defeat. BIG OOPS!

The other thing that stood out was how often Biden insisted that Trump was a liar. One time, Biden intimated that he couldn't be losing to such a liar. Another time, Biden hinted that Trump insisted that he'd brought inflation down. That didn't happen. Inflation stayed low during the Trump administration. Inflation jumped during the Biden administration, jumping from 1.4% the day Biden was inaugurated to 9.1% for the June 2022 report. This won't help calm Democrats' nerves:

ABC's Rachel Scott summed things up perfectly 27+ minutes into this interview:

Other senators have concerns but the dam hasn't broken. They aren't convinced that a single interview will convince them of his viability.

Those of us who watched the June 27th Presidential Debate know that we didn't see a man suffering from a cold. We didn't see a man suffering from jet lag, either. The Democrat on stage that night is suffering from some form of Alzheimer's or dementia. To pretend to have seen otherwise is to ignore President Reagan's wise adage. President Reagan's wise advice was "Don't be afraid to see what you saw." Dutch was never wiser.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
