But to my knowledge, Biden has never apologized for his wretched maneuvering to give legal armor to segregation, nor for camaraderie with similarly foul Democrat fellows. Instead, he contrives a false résumé in which he agitated against the very rot he actually championed.
"In 2013, NBC reported on a BBC Oprah Winfrey interview in which she shared her prescription for eliminating skin-color acrimony.
" 'There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it -- in that prejudice and racism -- and they just have to die," the talk show host insisted.
"Her proposal was faulty. Not all members of aged generations harbor negative notions. Too, ideas good and bad endure into successive generations despite time's march.
"There are many fine reasons to desire Joe Biden's political demise, not least of which are preservation of nationalism over globalism, constitutional ideals, electoral integrity, and, as recently caused millions to shudder, the president's pathetic debate spectacle.
"Another can join the crowd: Turning America's back on earlier times' racial injustices necessitates consigning ignoble perpetrators to obscurity. One such miscreant was Joe Biden.
"Like several 1970s Democrat senators, he inveighed against bussing to integrate schools.
“ 'Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point!” the Delaware senator thundered on a 1977 senate floor.
"A 2019 NBC News subheadline summed up the divisive senator’s impact: “Joe Biden helped give America the language that is still used to oppose school integration today, legislative and education history experts say.”
"NBC’s story revealed that in 1975, Biden had sponsored legislation that limited courts’ authority to integrate schools, and also an amendment that prohibited the federal government’s withholding tax monies from segregated institutions." . . .
"In other words, Smith’s appetite for a trial before the Inauguration may exceed his ability to force that expedited schedule."
"The Washington Post is reportingthat Special Counsel Jack Smith may try to convict former president Donald Trump all the way through the election and up to 11:59 am on January 20th. After the oath, the Justice Department has long maintained that it will not prosecute a sitting president.
"There is also a long-standing policy of the Justice Department to abstain from criminal proceedings before an election to avoid the appearance of trying to influence the outcome. Smith has signaled thathe will discard that policyand that he is prepared to try Trump not only up to the election but through the election.
"He is now reportedly willing to try Trump up to January 20th.
"Smith has made trying Trump before the election the overriding priority in his two cases against the former president. He failed repeatedly to force a shorter schedule on appeal before the Supreme Court. His arguments were revealing. He suggested that the public should have a possible conviction before they cast their votes. It flipped the DOJ policy on its head in openly seeking to influence the election.
"The Supreme Court was not persuaded, though Smith did succeed in effectively cutting the appellate process a bit shorter. He then lost in spectacular fashion before the Court on presidential immunity.
"According to the Post, he is not giving up the ghost and is now committed to a trial running up to Inauguration Day: “Current officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, expressed … that if Trump wins the election, the clock on the two federal cases against him would keep ticking until Jan. 20, when he would be sworn in as the 47th president.”
"Even with Smith’s continued push to try Trump at all costs before the Inauguration, it could be a challenge. There is a 30-day period before the Supreme Court case is effectively returned to district court.
"Judge Tanya Chutkan has been highly favorable for Smith and highly motivated in seeking a trial before the election. That led to problems highlighted in the recent opinion. Chutkan was so motivated that she failed to create an adequate record on these issues. That record will now have to be established." . . .
"They’ll drag Joe’s rotting carcass over the finish line even if it kills them"
"NBC News reported on Saturday that the Biden family was headed back to Camp David to discuss the “path forward” for Grandpa Joe after his dementia took center stage at last week’s presidential debate.
"By Sunday morning, CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny clarified that the Camp David Biden family getaway was pre-planned and included a photo shoot with celebrity photographer Annie Leibowitz.
"New York Times White House correspondent Katie Rogers reported later that the Biden family did not have a pow-wow about the future of Biden’s reelection campaign as NBC’s unnamed sources claimed. Instead, the family spent the morning in hair and makeup to prepare for the photo shoot.
"I read the updates on Twitter with a growing sense of amusement.
"If you want to know why the Biden family wants its senile patriarch to continue publicly humiliating himself on the world stage, the clue is in the phrase “photo shoot with Annie Liebowitz.”
"How else could an unremarkable elementary school teacher like Jill ever have the chance to rub elbows with Hollywood stars or pose for celebrity photographers like Annie Leibowitz?
"According to the New York Times, Joe’s convicted felon son Hunter was especially influential in convincing old Joe to continue dragging his half-dead carcass to November: . . ."
"As someone whose mother had dementia, I cannot fathom why Jill Biden isn’t pulling the plug on her husband’s presidency. What kind of loving wife subjects her husband to this level of emotional and psychological trauma?"
“We have a lot of questions for them, and because they get federal money, they fall under the jurisdiction of the House Oversight Committee,” he said.
"NewsGuard is a widely recognized media watchdog that rates news agencies on their reliability, transparency, and financial conflicts of interest. Via a web extension, the organization’s team of “expert journalists” provides outlets with “nutrition label” reports that rate outlets on a scale of 0–100 based on “a set of apolitical criteria of journalistic practice,” according to its website.
"NewsGuard’s stated purpose is to encourage the public to rely on trustworthy journalism and guard against the threat of misinformation.
"That’s all well and good—but what if NewsGuard is itself unreliable, non-transparent, or beset by financial conflicts of interest? If so, is there a watchdog watching the watchdog?
"This is the question being asked by House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.), who announced earlier this month that his committee is launching aprobeinto NewsGuard.
"Comer explained that the probe will look at “the impact of NewsGuard on protected First Amendment speech and its potential to serve as a non-transparent agent of censorship campaigns.”
"In a letter to the joint CEOs of NewsGuard Steven Brill and Gordon Crovitz, Comer wrote:
Our inquiry seeks documents on NewsGuard’s business relationships with government entities, its adherence to its own policies intended to guard against appearances of bias, how it tries to avoid and manage potential conflicts of interest arising from its investors and other influences, and actions that may have the impact of delegitimizing factually accurate information.
. . ."The state’s reliance on public sector growth to offset private sector losses suggests that California’s economy is heading for a serious crash.
"Governor Gavin Newsom’s recent celebration of California’s job growth paints an incomplete picture of the state’s economic reality.
"A new report from the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) reveals a concerning trend: while overall employment has increased, the private sector is shrinking.
"Since September 2022, California has added 207,000 jobs.
"However, this headline figure obscures a critical shift.
"The private sector lost 154,000 jobs during this period, while public and public-supported sectors grew by 361,000 positions.
"In essence, government-related hiring is propping up the state’s employment numbers.
"Newsom highlighted California’s role in national job creation, stating, “16% of all national job creation last month came right here in California.”
"While factually correct, this statement fails to address the underlying imbalance between public and private sector growth." . . .
In 2022 Gavin Newsom stated CA has a surplus of $100 billion dollars. “$100B SURPLUS” In 2024, California is facing a record budget deficit of $68 billion. “$68B DEFICIT” Democrats have done to CA what they’ve done to America. This is intentional. NEVER NEWSOM in the WH! pic.twitter.com/hb5KC1SePv
The Last Refuge "The tip of the Lawfare spear consists of a small group of former DOJ attorneys and Main Justice leftists who helped AG Eric Holder create the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) when it was formed on behalf of President Obama.
"Lawfare, writ large, are a tribe of leftists who strategically weaponize the justice systems within the DOJ. They are also the main guides, strategists and legal analysts who previously used Robert Mueller and currently use Jack Smith.
"The tribe is led by a trio of fellow travelers: Mary McCord, Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissmann.
"If you research the group, you will discover that Mary McCord sits at the center of every attack approach deployed against President Trump {CITATION}. The influence of McCord cannot be overstated, while gender fluid leftists like Eisen, Weissmann (and others), wax philosophically about which statutes can be twisted and interpreted to assist their Lawfare strategy du jour." . . .
"As surely befits a man who looks like a corporate villain from a Hollywood thriller, he's painfully superficial, critics have long whispered. 'Gavin is always around pretty people. But he doesn't seem to have many real friends,' . . ."
. . ."Some polling suggests swapping out Biden for another candidate at the eleventh hour would be even worse than keeping him. But after Thursday night and the ensuing Democrat 'freak out' – with even the usually loyal New York Times now calling for Biden to resign – there might not be much choice.
"At a youthful 56, Newsom has risen smoothly up the ranks to the top of California politics, making him on paper an obvious candidate for the White House.
"But, as that toe-curling 20-year-old magazine shoot illustrates, the political capital Republicans have made out of Biden's troubled son Hunter would pale in significance to the mileage to be had from Newsom.
"For while he's handsomely telegenic, the perma-tanned Californian is an undeniably oleaginous and sleazy character whose playboy past includes more than its fair share of infidelity, alcohol abuse and questionable business behavior.
"And let's not forget the complete mess he and his championing of hard-left policies has made of California, the luster of the Golden State endlessly tarnished by bad news: from crime, drugs and homelessness to high taxes, electricity and water shortages, and a sky-high deficit that has led to an exodus of businesses and citizens.
"At the center of it all is a man who hails from California aristocracy.
"At least Joe Biden can say he wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Newsom had the biggest spoon in the cutlery drawer – the Getty family." . . .
"I represent the heart of a congressional district once represented by Lyndon Johnson. Under very different circumstances, he made the painful decision to withdraw. President Biden should do the same." Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX)
"You’d have to assume any meeting of House Democrats to discuss political messaging these days would be tense, considering that the leader of the party just laid a rotten egg at the presidential debate last Thursday.
"As Biden sees his odds of winning reelection plummet, party leaders have been freaking out, with some even calling for the president to leave the race.
"It’s no surprise, then, that a Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC) meeting reportedly devolved into a grievance fest Tuesday, with panicked members openly criticizing the president and his strategy (or lack thereof). There were even reportedly mentions of the “donkey in the room”— and we all know who that is. Per Axios:
The virtual meeting Tuesday afternoon was a listening session the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC) held to go over messaging ahead of the 2024 election.
Much of the meeting was taken up by members expressing their irritation and misgivings toward Biden and his team, according to a member in the meeting and another source briefed on the matter.
Biden was repeatedly referred to derisively as the "donkey in the room," both sources said.
"As we reported early Tuesday, Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) formally became the first elected House Dem domino to fall in what soon may become a cascade:" . . .
Biden 'Not A Pleasant Person': White House Staffers Report"After the disastrous performance during last week’s first presidential debate, there has been a rift between President Joe Biden and his staff. Politicoreportedthat White House aides are frustrated and scared of their boss.
“It’s like, ‘You can’t include that, that will set him off,’ or ‘Put that in, he likes that,’” one senior administration official told Politico. “It’s a Rorschach test, not a briefing. Because he is not a pleasant person to be around when he’s being briefed. It’s very difficult, and people are scared sh*tless of him.”
“He doesn’t take advice from anyone other than those few top aides, and it becomes a perfect storm because he just gets more and more isolated from their efforts to control it,” the official added." . . .
"Some 75% of the public thinks so, saying he's 'too old' to become president again.
"But when one thinks of the consequences of a senile president, the typical warning that comes to mind is the 3:00 a.m. phone call indicating an international crisis. A senile president isn't going to understand what's going on.
"But it's worse than that, and Politico describes what is happening in Biden's day-to-day presidency." . . .
. . ."Which is not hard to imagine Biden may be experiencing as he screams at his very loyal longtime staff. It must be awful for all sides.
"Thing is, it's awful-est of all to us, the American people. Someone with that condition should be in care, not executing the most powerful job in the world.
"Staff keep information from him, telling him only what he likes to hear. He can't even make good decisions without all the facts, yet staff feels a need to keep him calm and themselves protected.
"That's no way to run a country. That sounds like one of those strange situations in 16th or 17th century Spain where the monarch was incapacitated. Spain went from the richest and most powerful country in the world to a nation that fell apart and skidded into irrelevance quite suddenly after a string of those. It sounds like the Kremlin during the late Leonid Brezhnev or Konstantin Chernenko era, or Russia when Boris Yeltsin was incapacitated.
"The voting public is right to demand a president of sound mind and body. While I don't doubt that Biden and his greedy family entourage will try to continue to cling to power all through the election, voters know it's up to them to make a decision if the Bidens won't.
"The reports coming out suggest a headless country without a functional leader."

“Everyone has been on eggshells about this sort of thing happening,” said one Democrat who had a personal window into the internal operations at the White House. “The staff watch him like a hawk to step in before a thing happens.”
According to the report, Former President Obama described the Biden family as 'weird s***' following a fundraiser for the Beau Biden Foundation in 2017.
Michelle was initially reluctant to campaign for Joe in 2020, but was ultimately persuaded to hit the trail when Democrats told her the stakes would be too high if she missed out.
Now her husband has taken to the trail solo by appearing at multiple glitzy fundraisers with Joe.
"Vice President Kamala Harris was caught making false accusations about former President Donald Trump, this time by Elon Musk.
"Harris posted on X Sunday that Trump would ban abortion access in the U.S.
“Donald Trump would ban abortion nationwide,” she wrote, adding, “President Joe Biden and I will do everything in our power to stop him and restore women’s reproductive freedom.”
"Musk responded, “He clearly said he would not do so in the debate.”
Donald Trump would ban abortion nationwide.
President @JoeBiden and I will do everything in our power to stop him and restore women's reproductive freedom.
