‘Alarmingly incoherent’: NYT’s columnist
cites age, ‘uneven’ cognitive state,
begs Biden not to run in ’24
Posted By: Imright, 12/16/2021 3:06:38 AM
New York Times columnist Bret Stephens wrote in a column on Tuesday that President Joe Biden should not seek reelection in 2024. In a piece entitled, “Biden Should Not Run Again — and He Should Say He Won’t,” Stephens also called the president “alarmingly incoherent.” For an author at The New York Times to beg Biden to step aside so other Democrats can prepare for the next presidential contest, is, to say the least, unprecedented. It must also be unnerving for Democrats.

Former first lady Michelle Obama’s recent behavior has some speculating that she’s eyeing either a job as a TV talk show host, eyeing an Emmy or eyeing trying to replace the one and only Oprah Winfrey.This week she made an appearance on “The Rachael Ray Show,” a syndicated cooking show starring celebrity cook Rachael Ray.“While discussing Rachael’s new book, This Must Be The Place, Former First Lady Michelle Obama and Rach bond over the outpouring of support they both received when they lost their beloved dogs, Bo and Isaboo, during the pandemic,” a synopsis of the episode reads.
Let me tell you, when someone you love and respect is being honored, in this case for the last time, it is insensitive, cruel, and disrespectful. For it to happen during a ceremony conducted by the Highest Office in the Nation that is meant to honor the sacrifice of a fallen soldier is doubly worse. That it happened more than once during the same ceremony and by the same man?That’s just despicable. Or as Hillary Clinton would say, “deplorable”. (Snip) When you tell someone your name, when you give them the correct pronunciation and have even prepped someone on how to say a name
Donald Trump's Energy Secretary Rick Perry was revealed on Friday to be the person who texted Mark Meadows with an 'aggressive' plan to have Republican-controlled state legislatures overturn Joe Biden's election victory. CNN revealed Perry as the person behind the text, which was read publicly - but anonymously - on the House floor this week during the vote on holding Meadows in contemp of Congress.
A spokesman for the former Texas governor, however, denied it was Perry's number to the network.

'We didn't see Delta coming,' Harris told the paper. 'I think most scientists did not - upon whose advice and direction we have relied - didn't see Delta coming.'

The hit Broadway musical “Company” called curtains before the first song of Friday night’s performance — over an apparent case of food poisoning.The sudden announcement sparked a small panic among the audience at the Bernard B.

Her daughter bought a fake Percocet pill and it caused her death because it was laced with opioids.“A tale of two Presidents.

The coronavirus will hit millions of Americans in a "viral blizzard" within a few weeks as infections from the Omicron variant pile on top of Delta, an expert predicts. Already, hospitalizations are rising as the holiday season gets into full swing. Long lines for Covid-19 testing formed Thursday in metro areas, including New York, Boston and Miami. The Delta variant remains a problem. And Omicron, with its high transmissibility, could strike millions more soon, said Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

I am not sure who told Chevrolet that what we really needed this Christmas was to ugly cry over an ad they produced for the holidays, but whoever it was needs to go sit in the corner and think about what they’ve done.
You may have seen the shortened version of this ad, titled “Holiday Ride,” on TV. But you don’t get the full emotional impact without seeing the extended four-minute version, which is a tear-jerker and hit me harder than listening to my child ask me why Mufasa wasn’t waking up. [Video]
All the jokes aside, this ad is possibly one of the most needed
Mary Anne Franks, an actual law professor at the University of Miami School, has proposed a “redo” of the First Amendment in a Boston Globe oped. (She likewise proposed a “redo” of the Second Amendment, but perhaps that's better handled separately.) The first and most important of the amendments, she writes, is “deeply flawed” in its conceptualization “of some of the most important rights of a democratic society: the freedom of expression and religion.” The amendment as it stands now, Franks adds, it’s “highly susceptible to being read in isolation from the Constitution as a whole and from its commitments
Olivia and Amy are sitting outside in the shade, trying to escape from New Zealand’s early-summer humidity. Amy, 10 months old, burbles happily in the background as her mother talks. She is healthy, happy, and oblivious to her status as a world first: one of a handful of babies born from the first sperm bank for HIV-positive donors. The bank, Sperm Positive, launched in New Zealand in 2019, in an effort to reduce the stigma faced by HIV-positive people—and raise awareness that with treatment, the virus was undetectable and untransmissible. It grabbed international headlines when it was launched, but has been more than a publicity gimmick.
In a recent op-ed, the New York Times demanded that all sports leagues shut down for “public health” over the fear of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
“It’s time to press pause on games, matches, and meets,” the Times piously exclaimed in its editorial. “If we’re genuinely interested in public health, genuinely invested in slowing the virus and saving lives, we need to look at the storm that has gathered and take shelter from it.
“Come back in February, or later,” the so-called “paper of record” advised.
The Times went on to suggest new policies for all sports leagues, including a long break followed by mask-wearing.
The California Department of Education is facing questions over why it is paying a six figure salary to an individual who has been tasked with overseeing “equity” initiatives in the state’s schools despite his residing in Philadelphia which is over 2,500 miles away.
According to a report by Politico, Daniel Lee, who is described as a “psychologist, life coach and self-help author,” was hired to serve as California’s first superintendent of equity, a capacity that he has served in since last summer where he pulls down a salary of “up to $179,832” despite a resume that “shows no prior experience in California or relationships with school districts in the state.”

GOP blows off Trump’s bid to oust McConnell
21 replies
Former President Donald Trump has hit a wall in his efforts to oust Mitch McConnell as GOP leader.
Despite months of attacks, the Trump-led campaign to depose the Senate minority leader has resulted in firm pledges from just two Republican candidates and no senators, and it has failed to turn up a formidable challenger to run against McConnell.
Inside the Capitol, conservative senators shrug at the question, revealing a lack of appetite even among the GOP’s anti-establishment wing and continued strong support for McConnell as leader.

President Joe Biden condemned attacks on voter rights as 'unAmerican' on Friday as he delivered a commencement speech at South Carolina State University. His visit was in part a favor to his ally Rep. Jim Clyburn, who helped resurrect Biden's faltering primary campaign in South Carolina last year. But he also used it to attack the Republican 'assault' on voting rights and to implore his audience to become leaders and business owners investing in their own communities, and helping raise the number of government contracts going to entrepreneurs from minority groups.(Snip)'But all kidding aside, of course, President Harris is a proud Howard alum,' he said in his opening remarks.
In a typical doddering answer to a pretty straightforward question, His Fraudulency Joe Biden made the false claim that getting the coronavirus vaccine is an act of patriotism.
This happened Tuesday during an interview with a local Ohio television station when Biden was asked about the ongoing legal setbacks against his fascist vaccine mandates. Instead of using this opportunity to inform the public, he misled the public. First, he made the outrageously false claim that the vaccine stops the spread of the disease. It doesn’t. It only slows it. Then he also made the equally outrageous claim that it’s patriotic to get vaccinated.
