"I was on the phone for two hours" as a response to Americans dying in floods ought to be remembered as one of the most shameful statements ever uttered by an American president. https://t.co/VbEe7uey3p

She’s never told a story about her summer at McDonald’s, never explained why she allegedly worked in a McDonald’s in California while living the rest of the year with her mother in a rich area in Montreal. Was she visiting her dad, who is still alive and she never, ever talks about (we don’t know why because no one asks) for the summer? Did the wealthy Marxist economics professor force his daughter to work at the absolute symbol of capitalism during their limited time together? Was he just really into irony?These are questions a normal media would ask. Since we don’t have normal media, they aren’t asked.
When I was a senator and I introduced the first effort to ban them, those weapons, I literally was walking through the swamps of eastern — the Northeast Cor- — excuse me, in southern Delaware, down in the area where the r- — where the swamps and rivers are. There was a guy fishing, and he looked at and me and he said, “Biden, what the hell you going to take my gun for? Why are you going to take my assault weapon?” He was fishing. And I said — (laughter) — true story. And I said, “You need that?” And he said, “Yeah.” (Laughter.) I said, “You must be one hell of a lousy shot.” (Laughter.) “And I don’t see a lot of dear running around here wearing Kevlar vests.” (Laughter.) He said, “Well, that’s not” — “Well, why do you have it?” “Well, I hunt.” “You hunt? Like hell.” (Laughter.)

Now, I hear similar questions about Kamala Harris. Why can’t she talk in public? Why can’t she answer elementary questions? Why can’t she provide any details of what she believes — or outline her political agenda — without descending into indecipherable platitudes? I think the answer is similarly simple: Harris is incapable of any of that, because she doesn’t have anything useful in her head. Hers isn’t a language problem, it’s an ideas problem. The issue is not that Harris possesses all manner of well-considered notions but struggles to translate them into English; it’s that she’s never engaged with politics as anything other than an electoral exercise, and she probably couldn’t if she tried. Last night’s interview with Stephanie Ruhle further persuaded me of this. Words follow thoughts — and Harris doesn’t have any.

Cooke pointed out that the interview, in which Harris was asked how she would bring down prices, “really verged into metaphysical . . . almost poetry. And Winfrey sat there and said, ‘Yes, yes, mm, mm, mm, mm, yes, mm.’“It’s absurd,” Cooke said. “I am aware by now that people are voting against, and that they are going to pretend, whether they’re Republicans or Democrats, that their candidate is therefore fine, but they’re not, they’re not fine. Kamala Harris is not an acceptable candidate for president of the United States. She can’t answer elementary questions. She can’t talk. And the reason that she can’t talk is because she can’t think. . . . The mouth follows the mind.“There are lots of people in this country with whom I strongly disagree who are able to present their worldview in a manner that is comprehensible and even compelling. But she is not one of them.”
It's for sure a white man's world in America. Look here: I raised that boy since he was the size of a piss-ant. And I'll say right now, he never learned to read and write. No, sir. Had no brains at all. Was stuffed with rice pudding between th' ears. Shortchanged by the Lord, and dumb as a jackass. Look at him now! Yes, sir, all you've gotta be is white in America, to get whatever you want. Gobbledy-gook!
I wish he’d accepted the results of 2020, I wish he hadn’t done the things that helped inspire January 6, I wish he hadn’t made disgraceful moves in Senatorial races that gave his rivals enough control in Washington to pass ruinous and bad legislation, and I wish he had allowed the Republican party to move on and find new leadership. His presidential candidacy is an unhealthy thing for his party and his country, though it’s probably more a manifestation of the country’s ill political health than the cause of it.But, dear God, would it be worse for us if these assassins had succeeded. And will it be worse for us if one were to succeed between now and election day, or after, should he win. So much worse, infinitely worse—because that event will tear the country to shreds. That’s not even remotely metaphorical.So go ahead, Washington Post, say Trump’s golfing is the real threat. Go ahead, MSNBC and the Atlantic, say the real problem is Trump talking cruelly about migrants in Ohio. Go ahead and find excuses for a thing that cannot be allowed to happen. If we do reap the whirlwind from the fulfillment of your darkest desires, history will know whom to blame—not that it will matter, because the damage will have been done.
President Biden departing the White House commented on the second assassination attempt made on Donald Trump.Before departing on Marine One, Biden said ‘thank god the president is ok.’
At the start of the debate, ABC said that it was going to fact check everything that the candidates said. So why didn't they fact check something that many of them already knew to be false?

This was so obvious, that it leaves us with no alternative but to believe that one of…
We’ve now had two presidential debates, and at neither one has Trump managed to say one specific thing about his economy (the stock market was up and inflation was low don’t really count). He hasn’t deployed one figure about how real wages were up in his first three years and have been stagnant under Biden-Harris — perhaps the best argument for himself. It’s all been foggy generalities.Same on immigration, his signature issue. All he ever says is that millions of people are coming in, they commit crimes, and foreign countries are emptying their jails — over and over.He never makes any arguments that are designed to convince anyone or that connect outcomes in his administration to his specific polices.

But for blue state leaders to now act like the Biden administration had no agency, beyond being able to provide funding to struggling states and cities, allowed the administration to dodge accountability for too long. That the administration announced an executive order in June limiting asylum claims, which has been followed by lower numbers at the border, proves it does have agency — and did all along.The past year could have been, and could still be, a reality check for Democratic leaders away from the border. What Abbott did by shipping migrants to blue states on buses — a distasteful stunt — did expose the hypocrisy of Democrats who expected border states to be endlessly welcoming but weren’t prepared to write blank checks themselves.
First, Hunter’s move is rational only if he knows he is getting a pardon. The tax indictment charges him with multiple counts that, if memory serves, could run to 17 years of imprisonment. A normal defendant engages in plea negotiations in order to minimize his potential penal exposure — you offer to plead guilty to a count or two, and the government agrees to dismiss the rest of the charges, and your potential imprisonment is capped. That’s not what Hunter is doing. He’s saying he’ll plead guilty to all charges. He can only be doing that because he’s playing with the house money — he knows he’s not going to prison, so he doesn’t need to worry about capping his potential sentence.
In 2019, Vice President Kamala Harris told CNN’s Jake Tapper that social media companies “are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation and it has to stop.”Does it?Every two-bit authoritarian in history has justified censoring its citizens as a way of protecting them from the menace of disinformation.
But putting that aside, Kamala has got a problem. It’s a big problem. She’s not very smart. The only thing she is smart about is knowing that she’s not smart. She knows enough not to speak extemporaneously. She knows enough not to be interviewed. And I suspect she knows enough not to debate.
If the Democrats were smart, they would avoid like the plague any reference to Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. It was universally, and correctly, seen as a debacle, and the Afghanistan fiasco precipitated a drop in Biden’s approval ratings from which he never recovered. Normal observers see that the current controversy was stirred up by the Democrats in hopes of political gain. The controversy, kept alive by Democrats, mostly serves to remind voters of one of the Biden/Harris administration’s worst failures, and to tie that failure more securely to Kamala Harris.
COTTON: You know who those families also invited? Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Where were they? Joe Biden was sitting at a beach. Kamala Harris was sitting at her mansion in Washington, DC. She was four miles away. Ten minutes. She could've gone to the cemetery and honor the sacrifice of those young men and women, but she hasn't. She never has spoken to them or taken a meeting with them.WELKER: Well, they did meet with them during the dignified transfer. They were with them during the dignified transfer.COTTON: It is because of her and Joe Biden's incompetence that those 13 Americans were killed in Afghanistan.
On our broadcast this morning, we incorrectly implied that both President Biden and Vice President Harris attended the dignified transfer of 13 American service members killed during the Afghanistan withdrawal. Biden was in attendance but Harris was not.
