President Biden Tells the Story of His House Burning Down Again [...] We've wondered if Biden's mental state has led him to believe all of the stories he's repeated so many times. Most of the time, it's just pandering to whatever audience he's addressing. You lost a child? I know what it's like to lose a child … my son Beau died in Iraq. He has said the first time he was arrested was when protesting for civil rights. Or was it the time he was arrested for trying to visit Nelson Mandela? He grew up in a Puerto Rican community in Scranton, Pennsylvania where he, a devout Catholic, went to Mass every Sunday but then booked it over to a black church and sat in. And then there's his fire story. You lost your house to a wildfire in Maui? He almost lost his house too, with Dr. Jill in it.

Clay Travis & Buck Sexton made the point recently that they can name no other American with a clean criminal record who was then suddenly charged with multiple felonies in multiple jurisdictions after the age of 75.

A seemingly unrelated topic has been split into its own thread in this forum.

Biden Regime Invites Hamas-Linked CAIR to the White House, Then Lies About It Every aspect of this story is bad, and each horrifying aspect is competing with the others for which can have the most negative consequences for the American people. After Jews suffered attacks in Chicago, the Biden regime reached out not to Jewish leaders, but to Muslim groups, including open supporters of Hamas. The Muslims, however, enraged at the regime's continued (albeit hollow) support for Israel, refused to show. Then a Biden regime wonk lied brazenly and denied that one of the worst of the Muslim groups was even invited. This is the state of our staggered, sputtering republic in the fourth year of this radically anti-American and anti-democratic regime.

How Many Ethical Rules Did Fani Willis Break and Still Keep Her Job?

Poll: Strong Majority Opposes Biden's Secret Migrant Flights Earlier this month, we learned that the Biden administration had flown hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants into the country, discharging them at 43 different airports around the nation, the names of which they refuse to disclose. The White House has been frantically trying to explain this away as something perfectly "normal" ever since, going so far as to claim that they somehow vetted that many people remotely, but voters are rightly skeptical of such a claim. People have been understandably outraged, given all of the problems and literal dangers posed by many of these migrants. Now, new polling from Rasmussen shows that well over half of all voters oppose these secretive flights, while only a small fraction approve of the scheme.

This seems like a good and accurate article. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lawfareland gets nervous This newsletter has noted that the elected Democrats, Biden DOJ-appointed prosecutors, legal activists, and others who have filed criminal charges and lawsuits against former President Donald Trump have crafted a multiple-redundant line of attack.

There are four criminal cases against the former president, all charging him with felonies. [...] https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/daily-memo/2923100/lawfareland-gets-nervous/

On second thought, conviction could cost Trump votes from those who don't follow the news the way we do.

You may very well be right. Gotta wait and see.

Very likely so. However, in view of the oft-stated "the Vice-Presidency isn't worth a bucket of warm spit" reality, I'd rather see her in a position where she could actually do something, such as SecDef or Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Remember, some time ago, when I predicted that she would be the first woman president?
