'Donkey in the Room' replies
You’d have to assume any meeting of House Democrats to discuss political messaging these days would be tense, considering that the leader of the party just laid a rotten egg at the presidential debate last Thursday.
As Biden sees his odds of winning reelection plummet, party leaders have been freaking out, with some even calling for the president to leave the race.
It’s no surprise, then, that a Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC) meeting reportedly devolved into a grievance fest Tuesday, with panicked members openly criticizing the president and his strategy (or lack thereof). There were even reportedly mentions of the “donkey in the room”
A senior re-election campaign official for President Joe Biden announced that editorial boards and editorial writers are guilty of election influencing or interference during an MSNBC interview on Monday. Former Atlanta Mayor, now senior campaign advisor to Biden, Keisha Lance Bottoms lambasted editorial boards, accusing them of "influencing an election" by writing negatively about Biden.
Bottoms was specifically lashing out at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's editorial board when they criticized President Biden's debate performance and opined that he should step down as a candidate.
Remember how we’ve been told for years now that climate change, and hence rising sea levels, were an imminent threat to islands and island nations around the world? Well, the New York Times reported a few days ago, oops:
The Vanishing Islands That Failed to Vanish
[W]hen the world began paying attention to global warming decades ago, these islands, which form atop coral reefs in clusters called atolls, were quickly identified as some of the first places climate change might ravage in their entirety. As the ice caps melted and the seas crept higher, these accidents of geologic history were bound to be corrected
On July 1, 2024, the Supreme Court issued a landmark decision affirming that presidents have immunity for official acts carried out during their tenure, extending the precedent set in Nixon v. Fitzgerald. This ruling not only solidifies immunity for clearly defined official acts, but also provides presumptive immunity for actions that may be questionably official. Although presidential immunity was previously established in civil contexts, this decision marks a significant extension to criminal prosecution for official acts.
The Context and Implications
The necessity of this ruling becomes evident when considering the current politically charged environment in the United States.
TOPEKA – Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach said he won a preliminary injunction by pushing pause on the implementation of President Biden’s Title IX transgender regulations Tuesday.
The Title IX regulations from the Biden administration would have required public schools across the United States to allow biological males who identify as females to use the same locker room facilities as biological girls, according to a news release from the attorney general’s office. Kobach’s office said it would also require public schools and universities to let biological males who identify as females to compete in girls’ sports.
The Taliban urged the West on Sunday to look past their treatment of Afghan women and girls to improve foreign relations, according to The Associated Press.
The Taliban upholds certain religious, cultural values and public aspirations that “must be acknowledged” to facilitate bilateral progress rather than continue to get stuck in stalemates, said Chief Taliban Spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid.
Mujahid made his declaration on the first day of a meeting that took place this weekend in Qatar led by the United Nations aimed at improving relations with Afghanistan.
It's tough out there in big donor land for President Biden's re-election campaign. You hate to see it happen.
Just kidding. The president has no business running for re-election and the whole world knows it. Viewers around the world watched Biden's horrible debate performance against former President Trump and the side-by-side comparison was alarming, to say the least. The man has no business being in office right now, much less running for another four years.
Does Biden make it until November or inauguration day in January? That is a legitimate question. Also, who is really in charge in the White House? It's time to admit that the White House is being run
As Washington Post reporter Aaron Blake quipped, it seems some Democrats have expedited their Kübler-Ross grieving process. Many of them remain in denial, while others are moving through anger, bargaining, or depression.
House Democrat Jared Golden (D-ME) has hit acceptance. In an op-ed for the Bangor Daily News, Golden declares that Trump will win the election, and ... that's just fine. Democracy isn't on the ballot, Golden argues, but the economy is.
First, though, Golden would like everyone to take a gigantic breath and relax:
Robert Towne, who won an Oscar for his Chinatown original screenplay and was nominated for his Shampoo, The Last Detail and Greystoke scripts, died Monday at his home. He was 89.
PR firm McClure & Associates announced the news on behalf of Towne’s family.
Towne also earned BAFTA, Golden Globe and WGA awards for Chinatown, the L.A.-set 1974 thriller starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway. It was one of three Writers Guild Awards he won during his career, along with Shampoo and the drama series Mad Men, on which he was a consulting producer during the final seventh season. He also was nominated for The Last Detail (1973) and Greystoke:
Paul Vaughn, a pro-life father of 11, escaped prison time on Tuesday after he was sentenced in Nashville over his participation in a peaceful protest at a Tennessee abortion facility March 2021.
The Biden administration had asked for one year of prison time, but U.S. District Judge Aleta Trauger decided to impose no prison time or fine, sentencing Vaughn to three years of supervised release. Vaughn was convicted of violating the FACE Act and in participating in a conspiracy against rights.
The Biden Justice Department brought charges against Vaughn and 10 other pro-lifers present at a sit-in at the Carafem Health Center Clinic in Mt. Juliet.
Sprawled languidly on an ornate silk rug in the palatial home of oil-heiress Ann Getty for a 2004 magazine shoot, San Francisco's new Mayor and his glamorous wife looked entirely deserving of the Harper's Bazaar headline: 'The New Kennedys'.
Clearly, the couple thought the glossy fashion mag's Camelot comparison fitting, too.
'Do I think he could be President?' San Francisco's First Lady wondered aloud. 'Absolutely, I'd gladly vote for him.'Whether she still might two decades later seems distinctly unlikely even if the question is, ironically, suddenly more relevant than ever.
For she is Kimberly Guilfoyle, now fiancée of Donald Trump Jr and a MAGA campaign stalwart. And he is Gavin Newsom,
Bob's Stores, which sells athletic and casual clothing across six states, is shutting all its stores.
It began 'Going Out Of Business' sales on Friday, with customers able to pick up goods with 30 to 70 percent off at the 21 stores. The website no longer works.
Shoppers will find reduced prices on leading national brands like Nike across the stores. Select shop fixtures, furniture, and equipment like TVs and registers will also be on sale.But then the 40-year-old chain - which operated in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island - will be gone forever after the final day of business on July 14.
President Joe Biden blamed his globetrotting ahead of Thursday's disastrous debate for his poor performance.
The 81-year-old president made the concession during a fundraiser in the ritzy D.C. suburb of McLean, Virginia Tuesday night.
He told the crowd he 'wasn't very smart' for 'traveling around the world a couple times' before his showdown with presumptive Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump.
'I decided to travel around the world a couple of times … shortly before the debate …I didn’t listen to my staff … and then I almost fell asleep on stage,' the president said
He added, 'It's not an excuse but an explanation.'
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced that Joe Biden will sit down for an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos. A Democrat president being asked questions by a former Clinton operative is why organizations like the Media Research Center exist; it’s also unsurprising to the nth degree. What’s also unsurprising is that this won’t even air live (via Fox News): (X's Video)
According to ABC News, a "first look" from the interview, set to be recorded Friday, will air on that night's edition of "World News Tonight," with other segments airing on Saturday and Sunday's broadcasts of "Good Morning America."

In a letter to Judge Merchan earlier today, New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg is asking for a postponement of sentencing.
Regardless of the corrupt Lawfare trial outcome, the Supreme Court ruling around presidential immunity has thrown a wrench into the former prosecution’s case.
Alvin Bragg used evidence, within the trial, that has been deemed by the Supreme court to be inadmissible. President Trump’s lawyers are filing a motion to overturn the judgement based on the SCOTUS ruling. Bragg now requests additional time to review the Lawfare consequences and construct his own legal strategy. (letter)
On Monday, the Supreme Court released a benchmark decision on presidential immunity, and it has resulted in enough hot air being shed to melt the polar ice caps. Most of the hysterical claims made about this decision are about as fact-based as the phlogiston theory, and some of the most ridiculous claims are the assertions that presidents now have the power to order assassinations of their political opponents.
This is, of course, poppycock, which hasn't prevented even a Supreme Court Justice from doubling down on stupid. The people who would be called upon to carry out any such order, though, have a different take on the whole thing

WASHINGTON – A sweeping section of registered voters do not believe President Joe Biden has the mental and cognitive health to serve a second term as president after his unsteady debate performance last week, according to a new poll.
The CBS/You Gov national survey conducted in the days after the debate found that 72% of voters do not believe Biden has the mental or cognitive health to serve as president, as well as nearly half of his own party. That’s up seven points from the beginning of June.
Forty-nine percent of voters said they believe former President Donald Trump does not have the mental or cognitive ability
Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) announced on Monday his confidence that the Republican party has secured sufficient votes to charge Attorney General Merrick Garland with inherent contempt of Congress, as reported by Just The News.
Last month, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fl) informed fellow lawmakers of her intention to introduce a resolution compelling the House sergeant at arms to detain Attorney General Merrick Garland and present him before the lower chamber.
“Under inherent contempt, the individual is brought before the bar of the House by the Sergeant at Arms, tried by the body, and can then be detained either in the Capitol or in D.C.,” Luna said. “This process demonstrates the seriousness
Following the long awaited Supreme Court decision regarding former President Trump’s limited immunity, the progressive media began yet another doomsday diatribe. On MSNBC’s 11th Hour host Stephanie Ruhle and her co-panelists hit the panic button, claiming that the case allowed for a president like Trump to become a “king,” that there are “practically no limits whatsoever,” and tht Trump “can do whatever he wants.” These claims, not only completely false, exemplify the fear mongering which permeated the media’s agenda.
Ruhle began the panel speaking to former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Harry Litman, regarding the decision. Litman responding pessimistically, mourning what the ruling could possibly do to the indictments against Trump:
The Biden administration confirmed on Tuesday that Hunter Biden gave his father speech prep ahead of his brief primetime address last night, as multiple outlets report the first son’s controversial presence at high-stakes White House meetings.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at a press briefing on Tuesday that Hunter Biden was in a speech prep meeting because Joe Biden’s family is around for the holiday weekend, downplaying the significance of Hunter’s presence.
“Look, the president as you know is very close to his family, this is a holiday week, Fourth of July. He spent time with his family,” Jean-Pierre said in response to a question from NBC News’s Kelly O’Donnell.
Northwestern Law School made faculty job offers to only three white men in the last three years, passing over intellectual giants in favor of less qualified black females, including one who graduated “near the bottom of her class” and another who plagiarized when writing an exam, according to a blistering lawsuit filed on Tuesday.
Charging that “[f]aculty hiring at American universities is a cesspool of corruption and lawlessness,” the suit was filed by lawyers including Jonathan Mitchell, who was involved in the 2023 Supreme Court case on Harvard University admissions that blocked affirmative action, and signals that similar lawsuits could be in store against colleges across the country.
You have to give Nancy Pelosi credit for one thing: She is consistent. She backs the Side, no matter what; not even a president in the throes of dementia can put her off her ferocious support of any Democrat at any time, no matter how ridiculous that Democrat may be.
But even Nancy Pelosi, it seems, has a limit. On Tuesday, while speaking to MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell, Mrs. Pelosi admitted that it was - only just now - fair to ask if President Biden's horrible debate performance last week was due to a condition or if he was just "having an episode."
Neither is comforting.

Biden Has Dementia, and the Finger-Pointing
Has Begun replies
Does Joe Biden have dementia? That's a question that terrifies the White House, and Politico offers some fresh evidence that the president's health isn't what it's claimed to be.
For years, there's been an insistence that Biden, despite his very public bouts of senility, is an absolute workhorse behind closed doors. White House coffee boy Andrew Bates recently reinforced that narrative, claiming that the president has such high stamina that it leaves his staffers unable to keep up. The problem with that claim is that it's such obvious nonsense. Biden is clearly sundowning, and if this quote from Politico is true, it sure seems like the cause is dementia.
A delegate for President Joe Biden’s reelection effort warned on Monday that black women will abandon the party if Democrats replace the presumptive nominee with another “white man” instead of Vice President Kamala Harris. (snip) Areva Martin, an attorney and California delegate for Biden for President, said on “The Stephen A. Smith Show” that Democrats should “stay the course” with the president and that passing over Harris with a “white man” would be a dealbreaker with black female voters. (snip) "If you pick a white man over Kamala Harris, black women, I can tell you this, we gon’ walk away, we gon’ blow the party up.”
Over the course of his presidency, Joe Biden’s small clutch of advisers have built an increasingly protective circle around him, limiting his exposure to the media and outside advice — an effort to manage public perceptions of the oldest person to ever hold the office and tightly control his political operation.
But inside the White House, Biden’s growing limitations were becoming apparent long before his meltdown in last week’s debate, with the senior team’s management of the president growing more strictly controlled as his term has gone on. During meetings with aides who are putting together formal briefings they’ll deliver to Biden, some senior officials
Washington Post columnist Jen Rubin has been circling the wagons on behalf of President Joe Biden in the days since last week’s disastrous debate performance, in large part by attacking his opponent, former President Donald Trump.
On Monday night, as part of that strategy, Rubin made a strained, historically illiterate comparison to Adolf Hitler.
“Aw, Hindenberg is too old said some Germans before electing a monster,” declared Rubin on X, formerly Twitter. (X) As a community note now affixed to Rubin’s post points out — that’s not how that happened!
In actuality, Paul Von Hindenburg was reelected as the German president in 1932 at the age of 84 in a race in which

Former President Donald Trump’s sentencing in his hush money case has been postponed until at least September after the judge agreed Tuesday to weigh the possible impact of a new Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.
Trump had been scheduled to face sentencing July 11 on his New York conviction on felony charges of falsifying business records. He denies any wrongdoing.
The postponement sets the sentencing for Sept. 18 at the earliest — if it happens at all, since Trump’s lawyers are arguing that the Supreme Court ruling merits not only delaying the sentencing but tossing out his conviction.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dealt with the fallout from President Joe Biden’s CNN debate performance on Tuesday with one reporter flat out asking if anyone is “hiding” information about the president’s health. Some Democrats have argued in favor of replacing 81-year-old Biden since his showing with Donald Trump, and Tuesday’s White House press conference included plenty of questions about the president’s health. Jean-Pierre said the president had a “cold” during the debate. Asked if he took any medication that could have altered his performance, she would only say he was not taking any “cold medicine.” “Is anyone in

Of the children found, 173 were endangered runaways, one was a family abduction, another was a non-family abduction and 25 were considered otherwise missing. The youngest was a 5-month-old baby.

James Clyburn and Barack Obama are the two democrats who could unilaterally remove Joe Biden by withdrawing their support. It must frustrate Jill Biden to know The Lightbringer and the Ballot Master have that kind of leverage over her appointments at Tiffanys.
As a result of this dynamic, we remind everyone to pay close attention to how Clyburn and Obama are indicating their position.
Additionally, it is worth remembering how Obama and Clyburn agreed on Kamala Harris as the VP selection in 2020, and informed Joe Biden who would be on his ticket. The Jussie Smollet operation was still active when Kamala was installed with Biden.
Mockery erupted online Monday night after President Joe Biden delivered a primetime address in which his skin appeared orange from a possible spray tan.
The tan likely would have been applied in response to criticism of his poor performance at Thursday’s debate, which sparked concerns about his age and cognitive ability.
The president delivered a five-minute speech off a teleprompter in response to the Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity on Monday and refused questions from the press as he left the podium. Commentators interpreted the remarks as little more than performative theater to alleviate concerns about his abilities; his orange appearance, which echoes former President Donald Trump, spurred the most mockery.
In a recent posting to X on Tuesday, CNN's Jake Tapper exposes a potentially damaging conference call between several Democratic Governors on Monday afternoon, expressing their concern over President Biden's health status and their need to speak with him to reassure them that he is fit to go on with his campaign. The call, organized by Democrat Governor Tim Waltz of Minnesota, is just another highlighted example of the fracture between the Democrat Party and President Biden's "inner circle." Concerns from those who believe there is a serious problem with Biden and his health, and his ability to successfully campaign against former President Donald Trump and win the November election.
The United States will provide a new $2.3 billion security assistance package for Ukraine that will include key air defense and anti-tank weapons, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Tuesday.
The announcement comes as Kyiv’s weakened and outgunned forces are struggling to hold back invading Russian troops, with Moscow regularly claiming the capture of new villages in eastern Ukraine. “The United States will soon announce more than $2.3 billion in new security assistance for Ukraine,” Austin said at the start of a meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Rustem Umerov.
The Supreme Court on Monday ruled 6-3 that Trump has absolute immunity for his core Constitutional powers.
Former presidents are entitled to at least a presumption of immunity for their official acts, according to the high court.
Sotomayor proved how stupid she is in her hysterical dissent. “The President is now a king above the law,” Sotomayor said as she echoed Judge Florence Pan’s SEAL Team 6 assassination hypothetical.
“Orders the Navy SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power?” Immune,” Sotomayor wrote in her dissent.
The tip of the Lawfare spear consists of a small group of former DOJ attorneys and Main Justice leftists who helped AG Eric Holder create the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) when it was formed on behalf of President Obama.

I'm not sure who thought rolling Joe Biden out of bed at 7:45 p.m. for a speech attacking the Supreme Court was a great idea.
The White House and the Biden campaign are colluding to contain the fallout from Biden's disastrous debate performance last week, and they decided a short address to the nation to react to the Supreme Court decision in Trump v. United States would be helpful. Naturally, just as Biden's brief appearance after the release of the Hur report was a bad idea, so was this.

Of course everyone knew. Joe Biden has exhibited cognitive dysfunction in public throughout his presidency, perhaps most especially over the last year. Americans could see that for themselves simply by watching Biden, and perhaps more tellingly, how those around Biden treated him while in public -- like a lost child.

In his remarks following the Supreme Court’s decision on presidential immunity, President Joe Biden pretended to be mortified by it. But there’s a reason Biden seemed so energetic and focused Monday night. The Court might just have done him and his reelection campaign a huge favor. At least, Biden thinks so.
In his very brief remarks, Biden called the ruling a “dangerous precedent.” He said it “continues to the Court’s attack on a wide range of long-established legal principles.” He quoted Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s inflammatory opinion which said “With fear for our democracy, I dissent.” I concur, Biden said.

The Republicans remain the captives of the personality cult—the “MAGA movement”—that has formed around Trump, just as the Democrats were the captives of the personality cult and populist movement that formed around William Jennings Bryan between 1896 and 1908.

CNN data analyst Harry Enten freaked out on the air over poll numbers for Biden after the debate disaster of last Thursday night, noting that he has never seen numbers this bad for an incumbent president.
The data points that Enten seems most panicked about are the ones related to Biden’s mental health and how that relates to the idea of him running for another term.
This is why Democrats are in full meltdown mode with some of them even insisting that he drop out of the race.
