Understatement of the year

I can understand the fiscal argument. But to have a Trumper worrying about saddling  our grandkids with debt rings hollow

I see it this way, if Russia wins our grandkids are going to fight Russia and China.

Camp Intifada: Students for Theocratic Authoritarianism
By Clarice Feldman

I’m old. So old that I still believe that classic Western liberalism is the best system for assuring prosperity and peace, and authoritarianism, particularly of a theocratic nature, is a disastrous governance style. Watching the encampments and riots on college campuses, I see that too many young people have missed this lesson and instead support violent, barbaric, theocratic authoritarianism. I think these participants are not representative of a majority of students or voters and that the weak responses of some universities bode ill for their futures. Moreover, I think the Administration’s failure to act on the side of Western civilization is seriously damaging President Biden’s reelection prospects, indeed, the prospects for the Democratic party itself. In the absence of a federal response, private litigation is likely to prove particularly damaging to those who have funded and encouraged or tolerated these campus outrages.

Several lawsuits are in the works. At least three have already been filed. The most significant was a suit filed in Virginia this week alleging that the National Students for Justice in Palestine coordinated with Hamas, an organization federally listed as a terrorist organization, to orchestrate these campus attacks. The suit claims that NSJP “has effectively become the campus arm of Hamas” and is “directly aiding and abetting the terror group on American colleges” and “facilitating the conditions necessary for Hamas to continue carrying out acts of terror and the holding of hostages, including American nationals.” If successful, the lawsuit would permanently shut down NSJP and American Muslims for Palestine, a reincarnation of a previous outfit that provided material support for Hamas.

Doesn’t make sense that American taxpayers are forced to fund anti-American activities

Biden's Handler Messes Up and Fails to Cover Him As His Stilted Walk to Helicopter Is Exposed
By Nick Arama | 1:06 PM on May 04, 2024

We've been covering the continuing saga of Joe Biden's handlers trying to deal with his issues.

I reported on this on Friday, as he came back to the White House from campaigning in North Carolina. He seemed to have great trouble going down the steps from Marine One very slowly. His left heel caught/dragged on a step, and had it caught a little bit more, he likely would have done a face-plant right on the lawn. Whatever steps they are employing to help his walking, they're not working.

But there's only so much they can do with the failed product they're trying to sell. You can't cover him every minute and you can only spin so much. And it looks like they failed a bit on Friday evening as he headed out to Marine One, on the way to yet another weekend vacation in Wilmington.

According to reports, they're supposed to be walking with him to prevent the media from being able to focus on his bad gait that makes him look like he's ancient. It has the side benefits of showing Biden where to go and preventing him from talking with reporters.

But the handler walking with him made a mistake; she fell down on her duty. She walked initially on the left side, not the right side, so she wasn't preventing the media from seeing Biden and the media got a good look at just how bad his stilted walk is. Check out the right leg, and the robotic, stilted walk to the helicopter.

Secret message, y'all!

P.S. It's Cinco de Mayo. Are you going to get in a huff about it or are you going to enjoy some delicious Mexican food today? Or both?

Not that anyone ever needs an excuse for having Mexican food.
