Interesting historical details in this article. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's not too late for Joe Biden or Donald Trump to drop out. But it's nearly impossible thanks to LBJ. WASHINGTON — Some voters probably still hope Joe Biden or Donald Trump - or both - will do what Lyndon Baines Johnson did nearly 56 years ago: Pull out of the presidential race under public pressure. After all, Biden has heard widespread concerns about his age, and Trump faces four separate criminal trials. The dynamics have led political observers on both sides of the aisle to ask: Should Trump and Biden step aside, or be pushed away? It almost surely won't happen, barring death or a medical emergency. And it was never going to happen, thanks in large part to political changes that followed Johnson's surprise decision to retire.

Jonathan Turley makes sense. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From Georgia to New York, 2024 could turn on the odor of selective prosecution [...] Judge Scott McAfee wrote that, after their testimony, there remained "an odor of mendacity." That odor was particularly strong after the hearings indicated that Wade may have committed perjury in his earlier divorce case, and that both Willis and Wade were credibly accused of lying on the stand about when their relationship began. They are prosecuting defendants in the Trump case accused of the same underlying conduct, including 19 individual counts of false statements, false filings or perjury. Yet, that distinct odor noted by Judge McAfee goes beyond the sorted affairs of Willis and Wade.

Very interesting legitimate issue in regard to armed schoolteachers. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Opinion: Iowans resigned to more firepower to defend against gun madness [...] Following the Spirit Lake School Board, Cherokee figured that school staff are the last line of defense in the face of an onslaught of shootings in rural and urban schools across the country. Some 45 Cherokee school staff members expressed interest in training and carrying a weapon. The training was conducted by a private consultant. Despite controversy, the district committed to the plan until its insurance company, EMC, denied coverage based on guns in school. It did the same with Spirit Lake.

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.

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.
