President Biden delivered his Farewell Address on Wednesday. Presidents usually use this final primetime slot to pat themselves on the back and hand historians the first draft of their legacy. That’s why these speeches are often as forgettable as the annual State of the Union Address. The notable exception is Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Farewell Address… Read more.
APEC delivers humiliating farewell for Biden As APEC host, Peru’s president relegated Biden to the back row for the customary “family photo” at last week’s summit. The snub evoked global schadenfreude that bordered on elder abuse. I doubt any president has ever faced such humiliation on the world stage. Mind you, Trump is roughly the… Read more.
Team Trump filed over 60 lawsuits in their failed attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election. So it speaks volumes that they have already filed over 100 lawsuits to influence the outcome of this election.

Since Hurricane Helene made landfall on Thursday, Biden and Kamala have been conspicuously absent. They should’ve been on TV every day, providing comfort, pledging support, and promising to visit flood-ravaged states ASAP. In infuriating contrast, Trump was all over TV, and it hardly mattered that he was blatantly lying about what they were doing and… Read more.

They blithely overlook his threats to turn American democracy into a Russian-style autocracy, as if that’s… Read more.
MAGA-Republican fear-mongering MAGA-Republican fear-mongering has Democrats wetting their beds. In fact, with their talk of revenge, “I-am-your-retribution” Trump and his bullying MAGA propagandists are fiendishly instilling fear in everyone. ‘Of course we aren’t fucking bluffing.’ That’s the message one close Trump adviser and former administration official to speak…wants to get across to the press and… Read more.
Every year, Western leaders gather to commemorate D-Day. It’s a solemn occasion that pays tribute to the sacrifices “The Greatest Generation” made to win World War II. We rightly celebrate the Allied forces from the United States, Britain, France, and Canada for their heroic efforts to save the world from fascist tyranny. But let’s not… Read more.
Biden’s feckless threat President Biden threatened to stop supplying offensive weapons to Israel if it invades Rafah. Over a million Palestinians fled there after Israel invaded northern Gaza. Both Republicans and Democrats are making much ado about this threat: Republicans are accusing Biden of betraying Israel. They’re virtue signaling by drafting legislation in a vain attempt to force… Read more.
Biden condemns protests Over the past weeks, President Biden remained conspicuously silent as protests erupted on college campuses across America. From Columbia on the East Coast to UCLA on the West, pro-Palestinian protesters have been chanting rallying cries for a ceasefire in Gaza and urging their colleges to divest from Israel.
