My Buddy and Me! Biden Mocked Over Photo of Obama Friendship Bracelet

Legal Insurrection  "On Saturday we celebrated National Best Friends Day because everything has a day. I guess former Vice President Joe Biden thought he could seize the day to remind people that he served next to President Barack Obama for eight years by posting their friendship bracelet.

"Cringeworthy doesn’t quite cut it. Even some of Obama’s closest aides rolled their eyes.

"Do you know what I find hilarious? The media, the left, and the right loved the Obama-Biden bromance… until now." . . .

Top Obama adviser on Biden ‘best friend’ claim: ‘This is a joke, right?’ . . . "Biden claimed in his memoirs that Obama repeatedly discouraged from running in 2016, believing that Biden's entrance into the race would unnecessarily "rock the boat."

" 'In January 2015 the president was convinced I could not beat Hillary, and he worried that a long primary fight would split the party and leave the Democratic nominee vulnerable in the general election," Biden wrote.

"Axelrod, who was the chief strategist for Obama's presidential campaigns, has expressed skepticism at Biden's ability to maintain his momentum through 2020, either, especially given his flip-flop on the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits the federal funding of abortion.

" 'His rollout was flawless in my view, and he’s had a very solid spring," Axelrod said of Biden's campaign Friday on CNN. "But this underscores questions that people have had about whether he can go the distance."

"Backtracking from his moderate, decades-long stance on the Hyde Amendment, Biden acknowledged Thursday that "times have changed," and that he supports its repeal." . . .

Following Mr. Jordan, representative Matt Gaetz: “the ghost of Christmas past“….

The Conservative Treehouse  "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Judicary Chairman Jerry Nadler constructed a political hearing to kick-off their impeachment narrative and fuel their base.  In an effort to create the appearance of hearing credibility the plan was to use testimony from former Nixon White House Counsel John Dean.  The plan failed, miserably…  Dean was showcased for what he is, a political prop for the left-wing base of MSNBC moonbats.

"Committee members Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz spotlight the ridiculous positions of Mr. Dean by highlighting his ideological history and presenting questions which showcase the absurdity of it all.  First up, Jim Jordan:

California could use a management change

It does seem to be true that people get the government they deserve. TD

Silvio Canto, Jr.  "Over Sunday lunch, a friend was saying that he just got back from Los Angeles.  He added that he had not seen that much filth in some of the third-world countries that he visits for business regularly.  He looked at me and asked: " How do the voters put up with that?"

"My answer was that voters have been voting with their feet for years.  In other words, they leave the Golden State.

"California is a mess indeed, as Jim Bredo wrote:  

It has the worst ranking for homelessness, 8th worst for roads, and worst for teacher-to-student ratio. Its prisons are so crowded that the Supreme Court determined them to constitute cruel and unusual punishment, and it suffered the worst budget crisis of all the states during the Great Recession.

But residents are so mesmerized by the amazing weather and beauty of the place that they tend to overlook the quality of the services. And as a result, management does not change. The state has been under the same Democratic Party management for years. Their monopoly on power is so safe that they now hold supermajorities in both houses of the Legislature despite California’s worsening condition. Management has no incentive to change when it keeps getting re-elected.

Californians may not be voting out Democrats at the ballot box, but they have been voting with their feet. While California’s population has grown from 29 million to 39 million over the past 30 years, in each year during that period the state has seen a net loss in migration to other states.
