Signs and omens

Featured image In terms of sales, the rollout of the biography of the eminent Dr. Jill Biden by AP reporters Julie Pace and Darlene Superville was not impressive. Despite supportive press, the book sold only 250 copies nationwide in its first week. The crushing news was buried in an otherwise lame Politico story about covering the Biden presidency, as Andrew Stiles pointed out in a story for the Washington Free Beacon. Six »

Joe Biden agrees: “Let’s go Brandon”

Featured image I didn’t know the annual White House NORAD Santa tracking call was a thing, but it made news yesterday. A mischievous caller made it through to President Biden. “Merry Christmas and let’s go Brandon,” the caller said as he signed off (video below). “Let’s go Brandon, I agree,” Biden said cheerily responded.

He writes: “To call Jill Biden’s dissertation thin gruel is an insult to gruel.” Smith finds the dissertation plagued by “insipid writing, typos, faulty language, [and] »
