Look at the Faces of the ABC News Panel After Biden's Interview Joe Biden sat down with former Clinton operative George Stephanopoulos for an exclusive ABC News interview that was aimed at quelling the deafening concerns about the president's mental health. It did no such thing. The faces of the panel that were to weigh in on this interview say it all. ABC News' Jon Karl rightly noted that Democrats who watched this disaster are even more worried since Joe doesn't understand that he's losing the election.

This is a really interesting article, with good reasoning. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr. Sanjay Gupta: It's time for President Biden to undergo detailed cognitive and neurological testing and share his results When the 46th President of the United States took the debate stage a week ago, it became apparent, even from his first answer, that this would not be the performance he hoped for. For me as a brain specialist, it was concerning to watch President Joe Biden, and it quickly became clear that I was not alone in my reaction. Over the past week, I received more than a dozen calls, texts and emails from medical colleagues who, like me, specialize in the brain. It wasn't that what we noticed was necessarily new but that it was particularly pronounced, and right from the start of the debate. From a neurological standpoint, we were concerned with his confused rambling; sudden loss of concentration in the middle of a sentence; halting speech and absence of facial animation, resulting at times in a flat, open-mouthed expression. To be clear, these are only observations, not in any way diagnostic of something deeper, and none of these doctors wished to suggest that was the case. The consensus from the doctors reaching out to me, however, was that the president should be encouraged to undergo detailed cognitive and movement disorder testing, and those results should be made available to the public.

KJP Claims Biden Still Had Jet Lag From Driving That Big Rig Around In The '60s [...] White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has stated that Biden was impaired during the debate as he was still suffering from jet lag from driving that big rig around during the '60s.

The Midnight Ride of Caesar Rodney Brought America Independence Listen, my children, and you shall hear of the midnight ride of … Caesar Rodney. While Rodney might not have a famous poem written about his nighttime journey, his ride was just as historic as Revere's and vital to the passage of the July 1776 Declaration of Independence. On July 2, 1776, the delegates for 13 colonies at the Continental Congress voted for American independence from Great Britain. (It then took the delegates two days to agree on an edited draft for the public, hence our July 4 holiday.) But what many Americans don't know is that, on July 1, independence hung in the balance — and one man came to break a tie and ensure the establishment of a new nation.

If they're looking for new blood, we hear that a certain U.S. president might soon be available.

This is long, deep, utterly fascinating, and great ammunition to use against those who squawk otherwise. I couldn't break away from reading it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Supreme Court Fires a Warning Shot at Jack Smith (A Deep Dive Into the Immunity Decision) On Monday, we broke the news that the Supreme Court had ruled on the once and future president Donald Trump's immunity claims in Trump v. U.S. As we said at the time, the news was breaking and we hadn't had time to read it. So … now we have read the decision and we wanted to get deep into it. Yep, it's time for a patented Aaron Walker Deep DiveTM! (It's not actually patented or trademarked.) As usual, we will analyze the majority opinion in terms of the law, but as we go through it, we will note something else. There is a distinct thread running through the opinion that this author thinks is aimed at Jack Smith, the special prosecutor that is going after Trump in two of his pending criminal cases. And as we analyze the opinion overall, we will highlight that to you. And naturally, we will also be posting and responding to some of the reactions to the decision.

Sorry to hear this. Sometimes, companies close with no notice at all. You're entitled to full pay for all hours that you work. Sometimes, larger companies will extend the opportunity to keep your health insurance (COBRA). You can ask your managers for their contact information to serve as references when you job-hunt. If you haven't found a new job by the time the company closes, file for Unemployment. This should give you a little income if you have trouble finding a new job. Others here will have additional advice for you. Good luck! *** Thread is moved from Off Topic to the "Working & Traveling" forum. ***
