Joe Biden doesn’t do a lot of interviews, and there’s a good reason why, given his continued problem with incoherence and mistakes. His staff has done all they can to either cut him off from the press or set him up with softball interviews.
Biden just interviewed with British podcaster Jay Shetty at the White House, which I think falls under the umbrella of a softball interview. Now, it’s ironic that he was appearing with Shetty to talk about how the Biden administration intends to help deal with the mental health crisis. The Democrats could start by having Joe Biden retire from the job and take care of himself.

As promised, Hunter Biden’s former business partner at Rosemont Seneca, Devon Archer, showed up to offer closed-door testimony to the House Oversight Committee and he had plenty to say. According to James Comer, Archer identified President Joe Biden as “the brand” back when he was Vice President, and Hunter Biden sold “the brand” around the world. He told the committee about at least twenty business meetings he and Hunter held with foreign entities where The Big Guy was either on the phone or there in person. He also testified about various “favors” that these clients wanted and received from Joe Biden in exchange for paying off Hunter and company.

RYE, N.H. − Meeting and greeting voters at a barbecue in a rural hamlet, Ron DeSantis deployed his rebooted campaign Sunday by making familiar arguments about why he should be president - and throwing in a few jokes, as when he thanked New Hampshire-based police officers for providing security.
"If we recruit you to Florida, you get a $500 signing bonus right off the top," DeSantis said as voters encouragingly chuckled. "We're always looking for good people."
As with a recent trip to Iowa, DeSantis used his New Hampshire trip to display an altered campaign style that includes a little more personality,

When House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) suggested that mounting questions concerning the fishy financial history of President Biden and his family may lead to an impeachment inquiry, some Republicans got the vapors. Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), for example, said it would send the “wrong message.” Reps. David Joyce (R-Ohio) and Tom Cole (R-Okla.) voiced similarly craven qualms. An inquiry may well uncover evidence supporting claims made in an FBI document, recently released by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), that Biden accepted bribes while Vice President. If so, it is the duty of House Republicans to impeach him.

The language is undeniably different, and yet White House officials said four different times Wednesday that “nothing has changed” concerning President Biden’s longstanding denial that he was ever involved in the foreign business dealings of his son Hunter.
House Republicans, meanwhile, contend that the deviation in wording now employed at the White House reflects a strategy to distance the president from Hunter Biden ahead of potentially damaging new testimony.
Biden told Fox News on the campaign trail in September 2020, “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” a categorical denial he later repeated the next month in a radio interview

First of all, I am not a lawyer, a legal analyst, a legal scholar, nor as smart about these things as Ed, who is on vacation.
But I have spent a bit of time around politics, and the collapse of the Hunter plea deal promises to shake up the political landscape, although we have no idea how much yet. The bomb is still in the air, so we don’t know whether its explosion will be nuclear, fuel-air, bunker-buster, or anything up to and including a big dud.But at the very least, when it hits the ground even a dud has some substantial kinetic energy and it will leave a crater.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the United States are re-uniting. Jill Biden was sent to France to highlight the United States rejoining the organization. And, she will honor Americans who died in northern France during World War II. UNESCO is the cultural wing of the U.N. It facilitates international exchange through education, arts, culture, sciences, and the arts.We can only hope she doesn’t call anyone a breakfast crepe in a speech.
She arrived in Paris on Monday, her first trip to France, and after greeting U.S. Embassy staff, she joined Brigitte Macron for a UNESCO flag-raising ceremony.

President Biden is merely pretending to do his job. But will the charade collapse before he can finagle another election victory?
In czarist Russia, a Russian governor named Potemkin built a fake village to deceive Catherine the Great about the condition of the peasants she ruled.
In today’s Washington, the media are partnering with Team Biden to concoct a Potemkin village to deceive Americans about Biden’s faltering fitness for office.
Last month at the Air Force Academy graduation in Colorado, Biden stumbled leaving the podium.
It took multiple Secret Service agents to eventually get Joe back on his feet.

Lots of news about Joe Biden’s obvious financial relationship with his influence peddling, coke-snorting, hooker-using disgusting and worthless human being he calls a son has been emerging of late.None of it tells us anything we didn’t already know, except in terms of filling out the details of how the influence-peddling scheme worked and how the money was hidden and distributed within a family that is more corrupt than Spiro Agnew ever hoped to be.

President Biden has of late attempted to convince Americans to ignore the financial realities of their day-to-day lives by insisting that his stewardship of the economy has been a success. Inevitably, the corporate media have been all too willing to repeat this rubbish despite mountains of data that clearly debunk the President’s claims. Fortunately, the voters are not as dumb as Biden and the Fourth Estate evidently believe. According to virtually every poll, significant majorities disapprove of the way he has handled the economy. Moreover, because the voters experience the ugly facts in real time every day, it is unlikely that a public relations campaign will change their opinion.

It is not quite the case that the media totally ignored the IRS whistleblower testimony to the House Oversight Committee.
But they sure did a good job of burying the news down deep in the equivalent of dropping an important fact in the 38th paragraph of an article. If you go to the websites of the major news outlets you have to search for the story, since it doesn’t appear on the front pages of any but a couple, and on those it is treated as a secondary story buried well under the headlines.Tom Bevan of RealClearPolitics was gobsmacked enough by the seeming indifference

Nancy Pelosi’s future has been the subject of whispers in her hometown since the Democrats lost the House and she stepped down from leadership.
What everyone has wanted to know — but no one was eager to say out loud, for fear of offending the speaker emerita or merely out of respect and admiration for her — is whether she intends to keep her seat. And, if not, would she favor a chosen candidate — or throw it open to what could be a wide open primary in one of the most Democratic cities in the U.S.
