NO SH*T.

What Biden Is Practicing for the Debate May Just Be the Funniest (and Saddest) Report Yet By Nick Arama We've been covering some of the debate prep that Joe Biden has been doing in the run-up to the first debate, which is less than a week away. Biden is currently holed up at Camp David, reportedly until the debate, practicing with advisors. However, his team appears to be leaking like sieves. I'm not sure exactly why they're leaking, because it's producing reports that are not helpful for him. I've already written about how they've tipped to expect "surprises" from Biden. If you have to promise surprises, you're already implicitly pointing out how the public thinks you need improvement of some sort. If you're tipping that he may call former President Donald Trump a "convicted felon," as one report from the AP said, you're stupid because you're giving away your strategy. If Trump didn't already anticipate that, you've now given him time to prepare a response. I think he should laugh at Biden and call him desperate, pointing out how most think it's a political effort, and then get right back to hitting Biden on his record. But the folks doing the leaking weren't done yet. And we may have the dumbest leak yet. Check out this ABC report about how Joe Biden is practicing mock, 90-minute debates including "standing up on his feet the entire time, trying to mirror what he's going to have to do in real-time next week." Um, if you have to practice standing for 90 minutes, you may just have a problem. Why would people leak that? Do they think that will put fear into the Trump team? That's both funny and incredibly sad at the same time, that he has to practice that. Is that the "surprise" in the "physical performance" that they promised -- that he'll be able to stand up? Unfortunately, he probably could use the "practice" in that regard. But this is just getting ridiculous at this point. The problem is if he has to do all this for 90 minutes of simple questions he should know the answers to off the top of his head, you know how far gone he is. https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2024/06/21/biden-practicing-standing-for-debate-n2175795

Well he did try to kill Queen Elizabeth.

Someone didn't watch the video of the pastor "Truth is the truth" You should stay away from that phrase Pete. .

MORE: "When an individual has been found by a court to pose a credible threat to the physical safety of another, that individual may be temporarily disarmed consistent with the Second Amendment." The Supreme Court rules in United States v. Rahimi. The opinion is written by the Chief Justice, joined by everyone except Thomas, who dissents. There are also concurring opinions by Sotomayor (joined by Kagan) and by Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Jackson. That's a lot to sort through. https://althouse.blogspot.com/2024/06/when-individual-has-been-found-by-court.html https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-915_8o6b.pdf .

MORE TODAY. The Supreme Court rules, in Department of State v. Muñoz, a 6-3 decision written by Barrett. There's a concurring opinion by Gorsuch. The dissenting opinion by Justice Sotomayor begins: https://althouse.blogspot.com/2024/06/a-citizen-does-not-have-fundamental.html .

Keep pushing that lie. LOL.

Joel Kotkin: The media’s great awokening is alienating the masses: Audiences are fed up with newspapers, Hollywood and Big Tech all singing from the same woke hymn sheet. When I was a cub reporter working at the Washington Post a half-century ago, being a journalist was first and foremost a craft. I once tried to slip my opinion into an article, but my editor wrote on the copy that ‘nobody gives a ***** what you think’. It was harsh, but good training. Our primary job as journalists was not to indoctrinate but to inform. Even when writing an opinion piece, you would try backing up assertions with facts and leave room for the possibility that your point of view may not be the only permissible one. All this may seem quaint today, as the news media – television, print, magazines and online blogs – now serve increasingly as ideological provocateurs. Overall, the whole industry is losing the trust of the public. This has now reached a nadir. In 2005, 50 per cent of Americans had confidence in the mass media. Barely a third do today, notes Gallup. Trust has also been dropping among all age groups, according to Pew. One might have thought that the internet revolution and the growth of the ‘demassified media’ would benefit the customer, as futurist Alvin Toffler optimistically predicted. But today, just a handful of companies control the information pipelines and they largely follow the same script. Nearly two-thirds of US young adults now get their news through the big social-media platforms, like Facebook, X and TikTok. https://www.spiked-online.com/2024/06/17/the-medias-great-awokening-is-alienating-the-masses/ It’s bad enough that it’s oppressive groupthink. It’s also dumb-as-rocks, batshit-crazy groupthink.

Trump Gets the Final Word at CNN Debate After Coin Flip The coin landed on the Biden campaign’s pick — tails — which meant his campaign got to choose whether it wanted to select the president’s podium position or the order of closing statements. Biden’s campaign chose to select the right podium position, which means the Democratic president will be on the right side of television viewers’ screens and his Republican rival will be on viewers’ left. Trump’s campaign then chose for the former president to deliver the last closing statement, which means Biden will go first at the conclusion of the debate. Biden and Trump are set to make history on June 27 in the first presidential debate between an incumbent and a former president. It will also be the first debate since 2020 featuring either Biden, who did not face a serious challenge for the Democratic nomination, or Trump, who skipped those held during the Republican primary race. CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will host the 90-minute showdown in Atlanta. Both candidates have accepted the network’s invitation and agreed to accept the rules and format of the debate, as outlined in letters sent to the campaigns by the network in May. https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/20/politics/cnn-debate-closing-statements-podiums/

Say Her Name, Joe: Trump Calls Rachel Morin's Mother KAREN TOWNSEND An illegal alien from El Salvador who was charged in connection with Rachel Morin's rape and murder was extradited to Maryland from Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was on the run for killing Morin in August 2023. He was apprehended in a sports bar in Oklahoma on Friday. The 23-year-old waived his extradition hearing on Monday. Victor Martinez-Hernandez raped and murdered Rachel as she was out on a jog along the Ma and Pa Trail. She was snatched off the path and dragged into the woods. Her body was found in a culvert. He was held without bail over the weekend as a fugitive from justice. He is charged with first-degree rape and murder. As he was being escorted back to Maryland, former President Trump called Rachel's mother, Patty, and her family to offer his condolences. She said she was “deeply touched” by his “honest compassion.” https://hotair.com/karen-townsend/2024/06/20/say-her-name-joe-trump-calls-rachel-morins-mother-n3790638

Oops ! Today's String of Supreme Court Decisions Blew Up Another Liberal Narrative (Again) Matt Vespa The Supreme Court has not yet decided on the presidential immunity case involving former President Donald Trump, which could wreck the pending trials from Special Counsel Jack Smith on January 6 and classified document indictments. At the same time, the string of decisions today did unravel another trite liberal talking regarding our third branch of government: it’s a rogue, right-wing machine that’s out to destroy America. The three decisions today obliterated that narrative. There were no 5-4 decisions, and some concurring and dissenting opinions were—wait for it—made up of diverse company https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2024/06/20/todays-string-of-supreme-court-decisions-blew-up-another-liberal-narrative-again-n2640731
