Biden channeling Trump Biden’s Trumpian delusions of indispensability are frustrating efforts to get him to withdraw. He stubbornly ignored private entreaties to do so gracefully. Now there’s a farcical mutiny afoot. But, with all due respect to Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, and others, they should have made their entreaties in November 2022 — after Biden’s blue… Read more.
Trump, the Fighter The Republican National Convention (RNC) billed Donald Trump as a “changed” man, one more softened and spiritual, after surviving that assassination attempt.

Trump ridiculed Scott Trump continually ridiculed Tim Scott, saying, “You are campaigning harder for me than yourself.” This was Trump’s sadomasochistic way of acknowledging how hard Scott was auditioning for VP.

Macron fending off National Rally offers a lifeline for Biden Sunday’s French election results had the world all atwitter. Polls had predicted Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally would win an “absolute majority.” That would’ve humiliated President Macron’s centrist alliance and a mishmash of leftist parties. Instead, the New Popular Front, a rebranded leftist coalition,… Read more.
Presidents causing national anxiety The world spent much of Trump’s presidency in suspended anxiety over his unhinged tweets. That’s why Biden’s presidency provided such a collective sigh of relief. But Biden now seems hell-bent on inflicting more anxiety over his cognitive decline. That was all I felt watching this interview. I kept waiting for him… Read more.
Biden has immunity to end Trump’s campaign Biden and the Democrats should stop worrying and scaremongering about what a reelected Trump might do.
