JUST IN: Bombshell Report Reveals Biden Prepping to Endorse Sweeping Changes to Supreme Courtwww.mediaite.com Biden is working on pushing sweeping changes to the Supreme Court, including establishing term limits and an "enforceable code of ethics," reported the Washington Post

California Representative Adam Schiff is positing a worst-case scenario if Biden stays in: An emboldened Trump in the White House, immune from prosecution thanks to the Supreme Court, and a compliant Republican House and Senate, with no one standing in Trump's way.

So I should keep paying my taxes and obeying speed limits and not lying to investigators because I live in a nation of laws, right?

Axios reporter Sophia Cai was in the crowd at the Trump rally yesterday and quoted some in the crowd warning the press that they are "next" and that their "time is coming." A few rallygoers tried to breach the press pen but were stopped by security. www.axios.com/2024/07/14/w...

To reiterate my point from yesterday, Biden's shaky debate performance did not alter the race's actual status despite all the handwringing. But all the talk about Biden dropping out will make his withdrawal inevitable. abcnews.go.com/Politics/bid...

Biden and Trump tied despite debate, as 67% call for president to drop out: POLLabcnews.go.com Two-thirds of Americans in a new ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll say President Joe Biden should step aside from the race given his debate performance.

For all the handwringing and catastrophizing, a new report shows Biden's debate performance had almost no impact on voter preference. news.northeastern.edu/2024/07/09/b...

Biden's poor debate performance had almost no impact on voter preference, new report saysnews.northeastern.edu A new report shows that despite Biden’s debate performance – poor as it may have been – voter preferences haven't been impacted.

A HuffPo clickbait headline calls it a "dreadful new poll for Biden," but it's within the margin of error. It shows Biden losing to Trump by 1 point and other Dems beating Trump by 1 to 2 points -- all within the margin.

French voters have turned out in record numbers to reject the far right. Meanwhile, in the UK, the center-left Labour Party wins in a landslide, albeit with low turnout. Here in the US, Nazis marched under "Patriot Front" banners in Nashville.

Happy Fourth of July! We celebrate the freedoms we still have and remember that we must always fight the encroaching tide of authoritarianism.

A change has been made to the President Biden interview on ABC. It'll air as a primetime special Friday night at 8 pm, and an unedited transcript will be released the same day.

There's a narrative that Donald Trump is staying quiet during Joe Biden's troubles, but that's not true. He's still posting his usual stuff on Truth Social, like accusing Biden of spying on him, calling for public military tribunals for former Republicans, etc.

The winds are shifting. My gut tells me Biden will drop out of the race and pass the baton to VP Harris, making it easier to hold on to the campaign war chest. Alternative candidates like Harris, Buttigieg, and Newsom are beginning to poll better against Trump. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/03/u...

Should he step aside, or can he turn it around? Interview with Los Angeles-based Democratic strategist Darry Sragow, July 2, 2024

Some new polls have Donald Trump slightly ahead of Joe Biden after the debate. But many polls had Trump slightly ahead of Biden before the debate. So... no real change? Wouldn't that be the story?

Some Democrats are calling on President Biden to drop out of the race because he's "not cognitively able" to continue. But they're not calling on him to resign the presidency. If he's capable of being president for another few months, then he's capable of continuing to be a candidate, right?

I despise AI-colorized pictures and videos.

Was it cold medicine that affected President Biden in the debate? At first, that was a joke, but now a doctor says, "Not so fast." www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

Opinion | Did Cold Medications Affect Biden's Debate Performance?www.medpagetoday.com How the American people assess the debate hinges on the answer

Did the Supreme Court just save Joe Biden's campaign? Will the presidential immunity ruling galvanize Democratic voters even more, in the same way the overturning of Roe v Wade did?

It sure seems like democracy is on the decline all over the world, and authoritarianism is making steady gains.

Charlton Heston’s speech at the end of Planet of the Apes seems remarkably relevant.

So, if I understand the Supreme Court ruling correctly, President Biden could order Donald Trump to be arrested for any reason as official presidential action to, say, prevent a national security threat, and Biden could not be held legally responsible for any criminal acts.

On this day in 1980, still a high school student, I filled out my first radio job application. A few days later, I was hired. The only other job possibility was working in a drugstore stockroom. I chose radio, and here we are!

Will the Supreme Court's Chevron decision be as devastating as Citizens United?

The New York Times called for President Biden to drop out of the race after his bad debate performance. Did the Times call for Donald Trump to drop out after his 34 criminal convictions?

A tiny but dedicated contingent of people believe the earth is flat. Imagine what would happen to America if they were elected to the highest offices and oversaw education and the aerospace industries.

The decision not to have a debate audience backfired on President Biden. His energy is always better when he's projecting to a crowd. And the decision to not say, before the debate, that Biden had a cold and a sore throat was political malpractice.
