The Pathetic Biden (5)
The next shoe to drop for Joe Biden will be whether he still supports the death penalty. During his tough-on-crime phase 25 years ago (“we do everything but hang people for jaywalking,” Biden said in 1992), Biden boasted of how many crimes he thought should be subject to capital punishment. Now he is being resolutely silent to queries about where he stands today. Sooner or later he’s going to be »
The pathetic Biden (4)
I think we’re up to part 4 with a bullet in the series that Steve recently initiated. Politico Playbook PM reports: “NOTHING. We desperately wanted to get an explanation about what JOE BIDEN meant when he spoke longingly about working with segregationists James Eastland and Herman Talmadge. But the Biden campaign declined to talk about it on the record or on background, or explain whether Biden would further clarify what »
The pathetic Biden (3)
Steve Hayward commented on Joe Biden’s tweet declaring his buddyhood with Barack Obama in part 2 of this series last night. Biden tweeted an image of a friendship bracelet with “Joe” and “Barack” on the bracelet along with a smiley face and other gewgaws. “Happy #BestFriendsDay to my friend, @BarackObama,” Biden wrote. Former Obama campaign guru and senior adviser David Axelrod had a comment of his own on Biden’s declaration. »
The Pathetic Biden (2)
Joe Biden’s presidential drive is taking on an air of desperation already. How pathetic is this: I’m sure this will be a big seller—the Biden equivalent of a MAGA hat. It just screams—”No, really, I’m as cool as Barack! That ‘clean, articulate’ man (and ‘nice looking’ too!), as I put it back in 2oo8.” Meanwhile, Biden’s abrupt about-face on his 40-year old position on the Hyde Amendment banning taxpayer funding »
The Pathetic Joe Biden
I suppose the headline for this entry might need to become a regular Power Line series between now and election day. It was as predictable as the sunrise that Biden’s long-time support of the Hyde Amendment, which bans federal funding for elective abortion, would crumple under pressure from the Abortion Absolutists who now control Democratic Party dogma. I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that he crumpled so quickly. Get used »
Joe Biden: Too Dumb to Prosecute?
Scott has already noted the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report, in which he explains why he is not bringing criminal charges against Joe Biden for mishandling classified information. Of course, no one expected him to do any such thing. I want to amplify the point Scott made about Hur’s repeated references to Biden’s mental capacity, and add a few more observations. Hur’s report is long, 388 pages, because »
Hur’s report: Biden ready for Memory Care
We knew that special counsel Robert Hur was never going to bring charges against President Biden for his mishandling of classified documents, but we didn’t see this coming (per Axios): [Hur’s] report said that “Biden’s memory also appeared to have significant limitations,” citing his interview with the special counsel’s office and recorded conversations with his ghostwriter. • “He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died,” »
Gov. Gavin Grades Biden’s “Master Class.”
“I want a seasoned pro that knows how to get things done,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom told CNN on Monday. “I’m a little old-fashioned. I want a guy who produces results, and the results are in: It’s been a master class.” The governor was referring to 80-year-old Joe Biden, who announced his reelection bid back in April. “There’s simply no administration in my lifetime that’s been more effective producing more »
Unlike the Trump indictments, the case against Biden is straightforward
Those of us who follow the news for a living understand the details of the three indictments to date against former President Donald Trump. The average American understands only that he’s been indicted three times and that a fourth is likely on the way in Georgia. Those who get their news from legacy media sites are told that Trump threatens the very fabric of our democracy. But from there, it »
Report: Biden Tried to Persuade Saudis to Delay Production Cut
A report in today’s Wall Street Journal depicts Joe Biden’s Keystone Kops administration in action: Days before a major oil-production cut by OPEC and its Russia-led allies, U.S. officials called their counterparts in Saudi Arabia and other big Gulf producers with an urgent appeal—delay the decision for another month, according to people familiar with the talks. The answer: a resounding no. *** Saudi officials dismissed the requests, which they viewed »
Impeach Biden?
Everyone thinks Republicans will win control of the House in November, despite possible shifts in the Democrats’ favor in recent weeks. If the GOP does take control, an obvious question is: will Joe Biden be impeached? Should he be? On those questions, Rasmussen reports poll numbers that seem remarkable, based on a survey of 1,000 likely voters: The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 52% of »
Should We Impeach Biden?
Everyone expects Republicans to recapture the House of Representatives in November, and I have no reason to disagree. This raises the question: assuming Republicans do control the House, should they impeach Joe Biden? That Biden has committed impeachable offenses seems beyond dispute. He has deliberately opened the Southern border, in defiance of our immigration laws, and has compounded the offense by distributing illegal aliens around the country. Most recently, Biden »
Despite Everything, Voters Prefer Trump to Biden
After years of non-stop hysteria from the Left, you would think Donald Trump would be–politically speaking–deader than a doornail. And yet, poll after poll shows him beating Joe Biden in 2024. The latest comes from Emerson: BREAKING: Trump lead Biden by 5 points in 2024 Presidential Election. Trump's lead INCREASED by 3 points from Emerson's May poll (06/28-29) (R) Donald Trump 44% (+5)(D) Joe Biden 39%https://t.co/zWmnUxqFyY — InteractivePolls (@IAPolls2022) July »
The world according to Biden deconstructed
Who will unwind the torrent of bizarreries, misrepresentations, lies, and howlers unleashed by President Biden in his remarks at the AFL-CIO convention in Philadelphia earlier this week? I doubt this is work the professional fact-checkers at the Washington Post and elsewhere will do. They certainly wouldn’t have their heart in it. The New York Post commissioned James Bovard to do the job. Unfortunately, limitations of space confined Citizen Bovard to »
Americans Say: Biden Is Bad For America
I have been saying for a while that Joe Biden’s approval rating, around 40% in most polls, is overstated because Democrats are lying to pollsters to support their party. There is no way 40% of Americans look at the events of the last year and say, “Heck of a job, Joe!” Rasmussen approached the question a little differently and got some interesting results: More than half of American voters say »
Biden Sails Down a River In Egypt [Updated]
Joe Biden took questions from the press today, most of which focused on his foreign policy blunders of the last few days. He chose to brazen it out, denying that his comments had been walked back on multiple occasions and denying specifically that he had called for Vladimir Putin to be ousted. Under the circumstances, there is not much else he can do, and he is far past the point »
Joe Biden, Liar
Some say that Joe Biden’s mental capacity is so diminished that he can’t be held responsible for his actions, but I disagree. Even in his current state, he should be capable of a basic level of honesty and good faith. But that is a low bar that Biden can’t get over. The latest case in point: earlier today, in Brussels, Biden repeated the notorious lie that his predecessor, President Trump, »
