This is satire, but is it?

There are important lessons here about relying on academic models to predict future results and using those predictions to make public policy. It does not work. Think climate change.
This is awkward to watch on a couple of levels. But Jill was supposed to get in the wide open door and he didn’t know it. She went with it because the press was there. This is elder abuse. https://t.co/5auunHn5bX

He has chosen to put himself in the political arena. He is running to be the leader of the free world. He is constantly criticizing Trump. He has to anticipate critical analysis of every thing he does.
Here is my analysis of his physical condition. He is not capable of being president. I don’t think he is capable of walking out of his house and driving himself to the market. I am starting to think he will not be the Democrat nominee.
Update: I watched some other videos from the same venue where he does not look so bad. Still, I question whether he can make it through the election let alone 4 years as president of the United States.
Names to watch…McMaster. Rosenstein….McCain. This crosses party lines and you all need to be prepared. This isn’t about being pro Trump, or anti Trump. You ALL need to understand that….and you need to be willing to call it out irrespective of party.

H.R. McMaster. That is hard for me to believe. In fact, I don’t and won’t until I see proof.
If it is true, it is heart breaking. How could that guy have gone so wrong?

That is the election
This is the clip that is driving old-guard media personalities into distraction:

The reason the old-guard media are so upset, is that McEnany is on the truth and calling them out for their failures on national television. They have no response except petulance.
God bless and protect our men and women in harm’s way and grant them success in their missions.
“…The Biden side is banking on a relapse — a new, big spike in deaths. They’ll have to guard against letting their macabre enthusiasm show. If they don’t get that horrible wish, then they’re hoping people will want to maintain an inert holding pattern and accept delaying the economic comeback. Trump is planning to emphasize his contrast with that depressing position. And presumably the Democrats will portray his optimism as dangerous idiocy…”
Will anyone in the media inquire from: Judge Sullivan, John Gleeson, Beth Wilkinson, and the Chief Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, and ask:
If Gleeson’s work and Wilkinson’s work is pro bono or paid?
If paid, then paid by whom?—Sullivan or the Treasury (or other)?
If the Treasury, then through what fund or under what specific legal authority?
As near as I can tell, Judge Sullivan hiring a lawyer to represent him before the circuit court and explain his actions is highly unusual. This does not appear to be an amicus situation and the circuit court specifically requested that Judge Sullivan himself appear before them. This seems to me like Sullivan has hired an attorney because he feels personal exposure over his handling of the case including his antics in the court room. It also seems like Judge Sullivan has some personal involvement in the outcome of the case and does not trust himself to go before the circuit court and argue his position without getting emotional and revealing his bias.
This is a black eye for our legal system and hints at larger problems lurking below the lens of public observation.
JOHN FUND:
“…In 1996, Californians voted to end racial preferences at state universities. The Left has been fighting to restore them ever since.
Rather than focus on COVID-19 or the economic recovery, California liberals insist on pushing their pet issues. The “stimulus” bill rammed through the House this month by Speaker Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco was a liberal wish list of subsidies and spending. Now other California Democrats are ramming through an effort to repeal the state’s ban on racial preferences.
Two things often happen when a single political party dominates a state the way Democrats dominate California. First, an echo chamber of the dominant party convinces its leaders they can steamroll over any opposition. Second, that conviction leads to political overreach.
Caucasian Americans are now only 19 percent of UC students, down from 38 percent a quarter century ago — this change reflects the increasing ethnic diversity of Californians .
Next month, Golden State Democrats plan to use the two-thirds control they have in the legislature to push through a November ballot measure asking voters to end the ban on racial preferences.
They should remember what happened when this was attempted before. Last year, liberals in Washington State used a similar route to repeal that state’s version of Proposition 209, which had passed with 58 percent in 1998. Liberals vastly outspent opponents and won endorsements from leading establishment figures. But they still lost, as voters rejected preferential treatment 51 to 49 percent. Retrying that strategy in a highly visible California referendum would be dicey…
…The alternative — racial discrimination — is a sordid business. A lawsuit filed by Asian Americans against Harvard University has revealed just how arbitrary and subjective its admissions process really is. Asian-American voters are well aware their children face a rigged system at universities that don’t have Proposition 209 protections. Preferential treatment for some groups necessarily means discrimination against others…”
