Former Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke said former President Joe Biden “failed this country” by seeking reelection in 2024. Speaking on the Pod Save America podcast, O’Rourke said, “We might very well lose the greatest country that this world has ever known,” he said, blasting Biden for clinging to power and ignoring widespread voter dissatisfaction. “It’s not just you and me, but our kids and grandkids… who might have to pay the price for this.”

Comments:

Beto talking about failure is like a pig talking about table manners.

Beto (Robert) blamed party insiders for telling him that Biden was firing on all cylinders. Was this guy sleeping through all 4 years?

Sorry Baithole, that won't fly. Biden was nothing but a figurehead, that was installed when your party exploited a global health crisis to change election laws in key battleground states in their favor. Voters don't like it when they have the bait-and-switch pulled on them. Biden was supposed to be the unifying moderate that promised to end the chaos. Instead, the shadow cabal hid behind their senile puppet to implement an unpopular left-wing agenda; flooding the country with illegal aliens, soft-on-crime prosecutors, over-regulation by federal agencies, centralized planning by green new deal socialism. Biden-cabal policies and incompetence [raising money supply during a supply chain crisis resulting in high inflation] made them a failed administration. Then, when they could no longer maintain the lie because of Biden's senile dementia became too apparent, their house of cards fell in. Now, you have the utter audacity to blame the puppet for what the party puppet-masters had him do. You were complicit in the plot and the attempted cover-up.

We would have lost this country if any DemoRoid had won. Even with PDJT 2.0, our fate still hangs in the balance. At least the DemoRoids are disorganized and infighting so the Republican’ts have a chance to pick up more legislature seats. Turn out will be key.

As far back as I can remember , all presidential debates took place in the two months before the election. I thought that having one in June was the set up to dump joey.

The new Democrat "party line" is that Joe Biden was the reason for the devastation wrought by his four years in office. Biden was a puppet and an empty suit, but the larger problem was the far left Democrat agenda and cadre he fronted for. There is no Democrat on the horizon who isn't committed to the same agenda wouldn't appoint the same menagerie of radicals and zanies.

Is O'Rourke working a real, private-sector job these days? I suppose not. Note that he criticizes Biden only after the 2024 election, when it's safer to do so.

The Dims keep spinning a new lie to excuse the prior lies. The "base" are those clowns who believe the new lies. Of course the super clowns still believe the old lies, unaware that they are no longer publicly tenable. I don't see a product roadmap which produces a working product that the public wants. Take that, Baithole (hat tip #3).

Stifle it, Beto, I'm really not interested in hearing it. Everyone on the left (not to mention the right as well) knew about Dementia Joe's mental state, but they initially were content to let him run again because they knew he was manipulable and they could make him do their bidding if not just do things behind his back without his knowledge. It wasn't until he face planted on national television during the debate that they panicked, realizing most of America would not vote for a mentally decrepit old geezer and then pushed him out the door, only to replace him with the equally incompetent Kackles the Klown. The Rats only have themselves to blame for the predicament they found themselves in. They could have averted disaster by picking a new candidate during the primaries, but they yielded to their selfish desire to have mentally unstable puppet they could control instead. In the end, they got the butt whipping they deserved, and it isn't Senile Joe's fault. It's their own.

Woe to the Democrat Party. The once unified Democrat Party has fractured. They lost the 2024 election by a landslide. They even lost the popular vote, only the second time since 1988. The majority of men have taken their vote to the Republican Party. Hispanics now vote GOP, and Blacks?...they have split wide open, no longer a reliable Dem vote. Of the 14 states that do not require voter ID, Harris won 12 of them. Trump lost Colorado, but they say they require ID but don't require a photo ID. Pretty thin accomplishment.

Orzag spoke with CNBC in the aftermath of Democratic New York Assemblyman Zohran Mandani winning the Democratic New York City mayoral primary election. Mandani was endorsed by the New York City Democratic Socialists of America. “Let me step back and just say that I am saddened to say that I think the Democratic Party is becoming increasingly antisemitic and anti-capitalism,” Orszag said. “And the thing about it is turning … towards socialism and turning away from your moral principles through antisemitism never works."

On his first day in office — of his second term, not his wasted first term — President Trump signed an executive order ending anchor babies, the practice of treating kids born to illegals on U.S. soil as full-fledged citizens. (Apparently, our Founding Fathers wanted to ensure that poverty-stricken third-worlders who force their way into our country would never have to leave.) Three federal district court judges promptly issued (you’ll never guess) nationwide injunctions blocking Trump’s order. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on those injunctions any day now. It may be that the anchor baby lunacy is . . .

A former staffer for former Presidents Bill Clinton and Joe Biden admitted Sunday that former Vice President Kamala Harris would not have displayed “the courage or fortitude” to take out Iran’s nuclear program. The United States struck sites in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan related to Iran’s effort to develop nuclear weapons early Sunday morning, using as many as 14 GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators in the operation. Jamie Metzl, who served on the National Security Council staff during the Clinton administration and as a Senate staffer for Biden, said that while he backed Harris in the 2024 campaign, he was not a “blind tribalist” in a Sunday morning post on X.

After days of publicly mulling whether to join Israel in its military campaign against Iran, President Trump directed the U.S. military on Saturday to execute a complex attack on three of the nation’s nuclear sites with several American warplanes and submarines. Hours later, Mr. Trump declared the mission a “spectacular military success,” saying during a national address from the White House that U.S. forces had “completely and totally obliterated,” Iran’s nuclear program. “There’s no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight, not even close,” he said, standing in front of Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Washington — Former President Joe Biden will be in Galveston, Texas, on Thursday to join a Juneteenth Celebration Service at a historic African Methodist Episcopal Church. The event will be held at the Reedy Chapel AME Church, one of the locations where an order announcing the end of slavery in Texas was read on June 19, 1865, two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, according to the church. In 2021, Biden signed into law a measure that made June 19, or Juneteenth, a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the U.S. Called the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act

It would be amusing if it weren't so serious. Last weekend's expressions of supposed free speech were almost universally called demonstrations by the media and "mostly peaceful" by some. In contrast, the Jan. 6, 2021 breach of the U.S. Capitol was labeled an "insurrection" and "riot" by the media. A few congressional Republicans have called for an investigation after reports that some NGOs were used by foreign and liberal individuals and domestic organizations to funnel money that underwrote some of the expenses, like the cost of well-made signs.

That's the stark warning from more than 60 of the world's leading climate scientists in the most up-to-date assessment of the state of global warming. Nearly 200 countries agreed to try to limit global temperature rises to 1.5C above levels of the late 1800s in a landmark agreement in 2015, with the aim of avoiding some of the worst impacts of climate change.

Our South Carolina neighborhood has green cans for garbage and blue cans for recycling. All our neighbors dutifully separate their garbage. We don’t, and we don’t for a very specific reason. What I discovered a couple of years ago is that, while different trucks drive around collecting blue and green cans on garbage day, at the end of the shift, the trucks dump all the garbage into the same landfill. It’s a scam that, according to my local representative, makes people feel good about themselves. When I lived in Marin County, California, we also had to separate our garbage.

Girls don’t usually fight. There are sound reasons for this – reasons of general decorum, biology, hormones, jewelry, dresses and hairdos. But when they do, boy oh boy, it can be a doozy. It happened yesterday at the Supreme Court. The case was an appeal of a district court order issuing a “universal injunction” against President Trump’s executive order seeking to abolish “birthright citizenship.” Birthright citizenship is the kind you get if you’re born in America even if your parents are here illegally. The 14th Amendment seems to provide for it, although there is a non-frivolous argument that it does not.

Mamdani claimed that his soak-the-rich proposal was “not driven by race” — despite his campaign platform explicitly targeting white homeowners. “That is just a description of what we see right now. It’s not driven by race. It’s more of an assessment of what neighborhoods are being under-taxed versus over-taxed,” Mamdani told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” cleared a key procedural hurdle in the U.S. Senate late Saturday night, pushing the massive spending package one step closer to the president’s desk. The vote on a motion to proceed to final debate on the bill passed with 51 yeas and 49 nays. Every Democrat and two Republicans, Sens. Thom Tillis, N.C., and Rand Paul, Ky., voted against it. The actual voting took hours and the measure only passed after three Republican holdouts — Sens. Mike Lee of Utah, Rick Scott of Florida and Cynthia Lummus of Wyoming — folded and voted yes.
