The intensity, the weirdness, the obsession with makeup and a former president's '77 year-old pink ears.' It's all so truly strange.

It could. The indictments certainly backfired. Yet to see what effect trial(s) will have. washingtonexaminer.com/daily-memo/296…

The anti-Trump dream come true. Starts Monday in NY. Of course the case is weak and politically motivated. But for anti-Trump forces, it just doesn't matter. If deep-blue jury convicts, Biden, Democrats will be able to say *convicted felon* Donald Trump. washingtonexaminer.com/daily-memo/296…

Not as far as we know. Instead, a big Biden donor took care of that, plus Hunter's living expenses, back taxes, and IRS penalties.

A collection of Masters memories that is really a story about the decline of print journalism (in this case Sports Illustrated). firepitcollective.com/p/25-years-mas…

Well, how about that: 'Scoop: DNC helped pay Biden bills.' From Axios : axios.com/newsletters/ax…

It is a paperwork case. Not just me saying it: nytimes.com/2024/04/09/mag…

No doubt some media outlets will try to create OJ-style drama, but two huge differences: 1) No cameras in courtroom. And 2) It's a paperwork case. The OJ trial was not about misdemeanors and campaign finance minutiae.

Growing Latino American support for border wall, strict enforcement. Continuing move toward Trump. Also: Border influx increasingly *not* from Latin America. Huge numbers from China, India, Turkey, everywhere. Self-created political problem for Biden.

Quite a mistake.

Have been noticing coverage of incident in which Chicago police fired 96 shots at a suspect. Some stories go on for a while--angry family, questions raised--before noting that the deceased 1) had a gun, and 2) fired *first* at police. It's first mentioned, skeptically, in the 8th…

Growing calls on left for Justice Sonia Sotomayor to retire. Based on reasonable fear Democrats will not win both the White House and Senate in November.

Here are final results of the 2020 presidential election. Did you know that Kanye West got 70,950 votes, or that Princess Khadijah Maryam Jacob-Fambro got 505? These are candidates who were on at least one ballot, so no vote(s) for Dick Cheney are shown. They are part of the…

John Bolton: “I might as well say it now: I voted for Dick Cheney [in 2020]. And I’ll vote for Dick Cheney again this November.”

Some allies urged Biden to be more aggressive in claiming credit for whipping inflation. Oops. washingtonexaminer.com/daily-memo/296…

The president quickly corrects himself on what century we are living in.

President Biden claims his 'plan' to reduce inflation is 'still sustainable.' Certainly doesn't look good now. Link: 'Inflation never went away.' washingtonexaminer.com/daily-memo/296…

You may remember that for a brief period of time Senate Democrats had a filibuster-proof 60-vote majority. That is how Obamacare was passed.

I disagree. From death of Scalia to confirmation of Barrett, Mitch McConnell pushed the edge of the envelope on SCOTUS confirmations. Not sure any other GOP Senate leader could have done it.

Well, we can definitely conclude that she was telling the truth in one of these two statements.
