Biden's Profiles in Cowardice: No Endorsement,

John F. Kennedy wrote his Pulitzer Prize–winning tome "Profiles in Courage" in 1956, wherein he discussed eight U.S. senators who took brave stands despite political risks. They believed it was the right thing to do. If the book is ever updated, it's unlikely former President Joe Biden would be included. He recently told his former chief of staff, Ron Klain, that he has made his decision on endorsing a candidate in one of the most pivotal election battles in the nation — the gubernatorial race in the union’s most populous state, California. His answer? Nobody. This was our commander-in-chief barely 16 months ago, yet now he doesn’t have the — cough — guts

An endorsement from Joe Biden at this time would be worth what? Biden would have to receive his courage from the Wizard of Oz like the Lion did.

Idiot Joe, who had dementia in 2017, was cheated into office. He was inaugurated, but he wasn't elected. If there are any competent historians in a few years, Biden will occupy the next to lowest rung to his boss Ubama, who was trained to hate America from the age of ten to nineteen by Frank Marshall Davis, communist, poet, and pedophile.

He's afraid anyone he endorses could actually lose to one of the Republicans.

Today is the birthday of Minnesota native son Bob Dylan. He turns the ripe old age of 85. It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there. I want to celebrate him as long we’re both still around to enjoy the occasion. He is a remarkable artist, self-invented, deep in the American grain. A few years back I visited Dylan’s old home at 2425 7th Avenue East in Hibbing. The house is a small two-story residence with a one-car attached garage on the side. The house is exactly two blocks from Hibbing High School, Dylan’s alma mater. A Dylan fan must be somewhere in the chain of title.

Who is on the left these days, and who is on the right? Who can tell? Hunter Biden appeared as a guest on the Candace Show, illustrating the new political alignment–not so much left vs right, as crazy vs sane. I haven’t listened to the show–I only have so many brain cells left–so I rely on the New York Post for a report on the interview: Former first son Hunter Biden wildly claimed that Israeli intelligence was behind the Ukraine corruption allegations against him and former President Joe Biden in a new interview with Candace Owens. The 56-year-old pointed claimed that two Israeli-American citizens, disgraced FBI informant

Well, that certainly didn't take long. Within minutes of U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche's announcement of murder charges against Cuban leader Raúl Castro, leftist groups immediately leaped to the withered old commie's defense, and within nine minutes, according to one account, started fundraising. This, again, just goes to show that there is no communist dictator so vile that the American and international left won't support him. On Saturday, Fox News released the first in a multi-part investigation into these groups and what they are doing. Just nine minutes after U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche announced murder charges against Cuban leader Raúl Castro for the 1996 shootdown

CONCORD, N.C. — Kyle Busch died after severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming associated complications, according to a statement released by his family. Dakota Hunter, vice president of Kyle Busch Companies, said in a news release the family received the medical evaluation on Saturday. Busch, a two-time NASCAR champion, died at 41 on Thursday, a day after passing out in a Chevrolet simulator. Sepsis is considered a life-threatening medical emergency that occurs when the body has an extreme, overactive response to an infection, causing the immune system to damage its own tissues and organs, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Lying politicians are nothing new in American politics, so we do well to always recall Jonathan Swift's warning that "falsehood flies and the truth comes limping after it." But the good news is that in the age of the internet, there is no reason why truth cannot also fly. Thus, today is the first installment of what will likely make frequent appearances in these pages: "When Reality Bites — a Lying Politician With Actual Facts." In today's edition, Reality Bites Sen. Jon Ossoff and Rep. Jamie Raskin, Democrats, respectively, from Georgia and Maryland. Do not be surprised when future installments feature Republicans, because lying in politics is an equal opportunity

The good guys are winning. Plain old facts are obliterating the lies of the left, and the leftists don’t know what to do with themselves. A recent congressional hearing had Hawaii Democrat Mazie Hirono trotting out the ever tiresome litany of leftist lies on slavery, elections, and racism. Violent leftists usually expect to get away with their big lies because that’s the way it’s been in the past. But something’s changed in the world, primarily because of the threats from an increasingly violent left and the looming implications of the midterm election season.

A couple of weeks ago, it made big waves when a Pennsylvania Jewish Supreme Court justice very publicly left the Democrat party over its antisemitism. He is not the only one. I belong to a Jewish Facebook group, and I’m seeing several of these renegades start eying the Republican party longingly as they finally see that antisemitism is the rot at the heart of the Marxism that’s overtaken the Democrat party. It’s not always about antisemitism. Others have broken with the Democrat party because of its relentless attempts to sexualize children straight into the LGBTQ+ cult, its open border policy that is destroying communities, or its soft-on-crime approach.

Politicians of both major parties are up to no good. Across the nation, Democratic and Republican legislatures are redrawing congressional districts in order to tighten their own party’s grip on power. In the process, they are disempowering Republicans in blue states, Democrats in red states. It doesn’t matter now who started it. The net effect will be millions of Americans without real representation in the House of Representatives, the body meant to be the people’s house. For most normal humans, any conversation about the arcane aspects of voting systems will quickly send them into a stupor of boredom.

"Georgia's political future is being shaped by black women," the Atlanta-Journal Constitution declared on Thursday after former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms became the Democratic nominee for the Georgia governor's race earlier this week. "A seismic political shift is underway in Georgia that is impossible to ignore. The rise of Black female elected officials within the Democratic Party is not simply a moment — it is a movement," the op-ed reads. "Tuesday’s primary elections confirmed what many of us have witnessed building over the last decade: Black women are becoming the most powerful and effective political force in Georgia politics."

The situation in Cuba is quite dynamic at the moment, and while I'm a little short for time on this Friday night as I write this, I wanted to make sure I've covered the latest, including Donald Trump and Marco Rubio's continued high-pressure moves against the regime, the fallout from the Raúl Castro indictment that the Department of Justice (DOJ) unsealed this week, and a bit of an update on the humanitarian crisis.

Iran's regime has been using two tactics. It says: "We need time. We are, because of the strikes, fractured and our leadership divided." Or, as Vice President J.D. Vance naively noted on its behalf, it says it does not know what it wants. "The Iranians aren't themselves quite clear in what direction they want to go," Vance, with a straight face, told reporters at the White House; "they are also just a fractured country." That is exactly what the regime wants: that you are dumb enough to believe that. The Iranian regime knows precisely what it wants. The supposed "moderates" will say, " Oh please wait for us. We are so fractured!

Scrambling to repair its mail-ballot boondoggle, the Maryland State Board of Elections began reprinting ballots Thursday, with plans to have more than 500,000 ballots resent to voters by next Friday. The elections board first announced last week that an undetermined number of mail ballots for the June 23 party primary were sent to the wrong voters, which it blamed on an error. While an undetermined number of voters will be voting a second ballot, the state’s top election official assured the public that only one ballot will be counted per voter for Maryland’s June party primary.

A crazed gunman who believed he was Jesus Christ pulled out a revolver and opened fire outside the White House Saturday night, before he was quickly taken down by a barrage of shots from the Secret Service, sources said. Nasire Best, 21, fired at a checkpoint at about 6:10 p.m. after being seen pacing in a strange manner up and down 17th St. Northwest, sources told The Post. He only got off a few shots before he was shot and killed in a hail of bullets from federal officers. At least one bystander was hit and seriously wounded in the fusillade, the sources said.

Federal authorities announced criminal charges Thursday against 15 defendants in Minnesota accused of participating in health care fraud schemes involving more than $90 million in intended losses, including what prosecutors described as the largest Medicaid autism fraud case ever charged by the Justice Department. The cases involve alleged fraud tied to multiple Medicaid-funded programs, including services for children with autism, housing assistance, disability support, and child care subsidies. The Justice Department said the investigation also prompted a nationwide expansion of its Health Care Fraud Section, including funding for 15 new trial attorney positions focused on Medicaid fraud enforcement.

A gunman reportedly opened fire outside the White House Saturday evening, getting off about three shots before he was taken down by a barrage from the Secret Service. The gunman fired near Gate 17 on the building’s West Side shortly before 6:30 pm. and was soon neutralized, Fox News reporter Chad Pergran said, adding that a civilian who was near by was apparently hit in the fusillade. After the sound of numerous shots rang out, members of the press who were filming on the White House grounds were seen diving for cover and were told by Secret Service to gather on the north lawn and to run into the press briefing room.

President Donald Trump announced on Saturday an agreement has been "largely negotiated" with Iran and several allied nations, signaling a nearing end to the controversial 84-day war. The president wrote in a Truth Social post that following a "very good call" with leaders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain, the deal is nearing finalization. "An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed," Trump wrote in the post. "Separately, I had a call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, which, likewise, went very well."

Democrat Barney Frank has died. Before we get into this story, you should know… (snip) Frank was directly tied to a disturbing political scandal in the 1980s. It was a scandal involving a male escort operation run out of his home by a man with deep connections to a bigger network involving underage boys, political protection, and organized exploitation in the Swamp. That’s what Barney Frank got caught up in. But unlike conservatives who get politically executed over much less, Barney Frank survived it all… and actually thrived.

Hotel maids in NYC already out-earn rookie cops, firefighters and even teachers with master’s degrees — and they just got a raise. The Hotel and Gaming Trades Council, the union representing 22,000 city hotel workers, ratified the new contract Thursday that will bring housekeepers to $77,113 on July 1 with $110,000 in salary alone in the sixth year. The agreement made last weekend with the hotel owners averted a strike that was already throwing a wrench into the city’s America 250 celebrations and the FIFA World Cup as visitors said they were afraid to make reservations if a strike was at hand. Under the new contract, hotel guests will absorb some higher

I’d like to say it was a wide-ranging interview, but it wasn’t. It was pretty narrowly a two-hour propagandistic narrative delivered in stereo. Seeing the two of them on screen together, they are the perfect couple, actually. Kind of like Bonnie and Clyde.
