Joe Biden's Big Boy presser

People that spent the whole day waiting for Joe Biden's Big Boy presser waited an extra 2 hours for it to start. After a brief statement that sounded more like a stump speech, Biden finally called on a reporter to ask a question. To nobody's surprise, Biden said he had a list of reporters to call on. This time, Joe called on Jeff Mason of Reuters.

Mason then asked Biden "What concerns do you have about Vice President Harris's ability to beat Donald Trump if she were at the top of the ticket?" Biden immediately replied "Look, I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump if I didn't think she was qualified to be president. This USA Today article described the exchange differently. In the USAToday article, it was worded "I wouldn't have picked her unless I thought she was qualified to be president, from the very beginning I made no bones about that." I watched the presser. I know what was said. USAToday got it wrong. The question I referenced is found just 35 seconds into this video:

If you prefer, this is a better visual: The point is that, for the second time in a day, Biden got a major name wrong. During the presser, he called his VP Trump. At the end of the presser: I agree. Listen to Trump. Listening to Biden is a waste of time.

In Summary

Biden had his fair share of verbal mistakes but few enough to be viewed as acceptable. Last night's presser is proof that Biden isn't well enough to do the job but not to provide Pelosi, Obama, Jeffries and Schumer the ammunition they need to run him out of office.

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...
