History will show Biden’s Presidency to be one of the worst this great country has ever had.

Former White House physician for three presidents – “Biden has cognitive decline.”

‘Age-Related Cognitive Decline’: Former WH Doctor Talks Biden, Says Obama Wrote Him ‘Scathing’ Email Over ‘Betrayal’

“…Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), a former White House physician who served under former Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump, said last week that President Joe Biden, who turns 79 this month, has “age-related cognitive decline” and is not “mentally fit” to serve as president.

Jackson, speaking on a podcast with Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), also said that he received a “scathing” email from Obama accusing him of “betrayal” for talking about Biden’s mental state in the past.

“All I know is that he’s got age-related cognitive decline, right. He is not mentally fit right now,” Jackson said on the podcast, the Washington Examiner reported. “He’s 78 years old and you can see it. You don’t need to be a physician to look at him and to look at his behavior and some of the other stuff, just the way he shuffles away, stares off into space.”

“I know what that job entails, both physically and mentally, and how demanding it is. And I can tell you right now, I’m 100% sure that Joe Biden is incapable of doing that job,” the doctor added…”

Virginia Paves the Way for Trump’s Return

Here is an excerpt. More at the link. It is worth your time to click over and read it all.

“…Right now, the Republicans appear to be unbeatable in 2022 and 2024—and Donald Trump appears to be unbeatable among the Republicans.

There has been a great deal of discussion of the widespread Republican victories last week, many of them belaboring the obvious. Fundamentally, the United States is a political society based on personal freedom, a free market, and on democratically legislated and responsibly enforced laws. The current administration’s belief in virtually unrestricted immigration, higher taxes, authoritarian regulation—including COVID vaccine mandates, and a heavy redistribution of wealth from those who have earned it to those who have not—are all antagonistic to the ethos that the United States has had for all of its history. In the circumstances, some sort of reversal was almost inevitable and is the off-year American electoral custom.

Those who were surprised by the Republican victory in Virginia and the near-dead heat in New Jersey had not recognized the extent of the affront to traditional democratic voters of the Sanders-woke-leftward lurch.

But Terry McAuliffe’s comeback campaign for governor of Virginia will have to rank in the future as one of the most inept election efforts in the history of any large American state. He came rampaging out of his campaign bus, clapping his hands mindlessly, lurching about like a great white antelope dancing, literally, to his own drummer. His entire campaign was Trump-hate—the inevitable mantra of the Democratic Party these past five years.

McAuliffe gave no hint as to what he would do if elected, other than to prostrate himself before the teachers’ unions. He even had the egregious Randi Weingarten, the most prominent teachers’ union leader in the country, speak on his behalf—as if to confirm it was his intention to retain the children of America as the charges of the government, regardless of their parents’ wishes. He praised Virginia’s strength as a place to invest because of its liberal abortion laws, and fictitiously claimed, up and down the state, that Youngkin would finish his campaign with a giant rally with Trump.

McAuliffe has always seemed an overbearing Narcissus, a Bill Clinton without the charm or the twinkle in his eye, an obnoxiously self-preoccupied man, loud and in your face at all times, in person and on television. His loss, in a sense, was the burial of the Clinton era which McAuliffe had done so much to popularize and finance. There was an anti-McAuliffe vote embedded beside the anti-Biden vote, both supplementing a vote against high taxes, deteriorating schools, and ostentatious disrespect for the will of Virginia parents and taxpayers. This last group was stirred to considerable irritation in New Jersey by Governor Philip Murphy’s breezy statement, “if you’re a one-issue voter and tax is your issue . . . we in New Jersey are probably not your state”—as if taxes were a flavor of ice cream.

Fact is, the Democratic Party—having scratched and clawed its way to the White House, with 95 percent media support, outspending Trump 2-1, and undoubtedly engaging in industrial-weight ballot-harvesting—has completely broken down. A majority of voters doubt the president has an adequate cognitive level to exercise his office; a substantial majority disapprove of his and the vice president’s floundering performances in office, and of the direction the country is taking. The process of atomization and the emphasis on race in every conceivable way has divided the country and finally annoyed the majority of Americans; the failures in the economy, immigration, management of the coronavirus, education, national defense, energy policy, and retention of the credibility required to be an effective leader of the Western alliance—in all of these areas the Biden Administration has fallen down badly and often dishonestly, and there are very few prominent Democrats not implicated in all the poor policy wrapped up in Trump-hate packaging. The Democratic regime in Washington is in freefall and most of the state and city Democratic governments are even more heavily compromised by their toleration of violence and promotion of national self-hate in the horribly demeaning and destructive summer of 2020…”

Democrats, Big Pharma, Big Media can’t let go of Covid. They seem to believe their political, economic, and ratings future is tied to the disease. Now they focus on our youngest infant children. It is sick.

How is Biden doing?

If you doubt that we live in the age of stupid, check out this headline of the day…

Stupid.

So stupid it is difficult to comprehend.

Big media, big corporations, big government seem determined to hire idiots and give them power over normal people.

One benefit of keeping kids home was that it exposed how bad, how petty, how stupid local school bureaucrats are, and how far left they have drifted.

“It’s almost like ‘systemic racism’ is being used as a shield to protect the failure of leadership to the point that nobody can challenge their decisions for fear of being labeled a racist.”

Democrats are worried that Covid will go away. They seem convinced that their political fortunes are tied to the disease.

I believe the 2 months or so between the Biden announcement of the mandate and the OSHA issuance of the mandate were to allow pre-issuance coercion of big business to comply with the mandate. Biden must have been advised that within a week of mandate issuance he would be sued by multiple parties and that the plaintiffs would have an excellent chance at prevailing in the courts. The delay between announcement and issuance was to get some compliance before being shut down. The statement that business should comply despite the court stay is an indication of ideological control of administration policy by far-left bureaucrats. Similar bureaucratic control was on display recently when Biden denied huge payouts to illegal aliens and quickly reversed himself. This administration will be shown by history to be one of the most ideologically driven in the history of our great country. The reason the ideologues have so much sway is the obvious weakness, physical and mental, of the president and his inability to exercise control of his own government.

Here Are the Arguments That Persuaded the 5th Circuit To Block OSHA’s Vaccine Mandate for Private Employers

Here is a brief excerpt. Much more at the link.

“…The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit yesterday stayed the Biden administration’s brand-new COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private employers, which took effect on Friday, when it was published in the Federal Register. The appeals court said the arguments made by the petitioners—a Louisiana supermarket chain and six employees of a Texas company that makes kitchen ventilation systems—”give cause to believe there are grave statutory and constitutional issues with the Mandate.”

The vaccine rule, which was announced in early September but was not unveiled until last Thursday, gives businesses with 100 or more employees two options: They can adopt a “mandatory vaccination policy” with limited exceptions, or they can require unvaccinated employees to wear face masks and undergo weekly COVID-19 testing. The White House described the mandate as part of a broader effort to boost the nationwide vaccination rate. The aim, it said, is to “reduce the number of unvaccinated Americans by using regulatory powers and other actions to substantially increase the number of Americans covered by vaccination requirements.”

But the federal government has no general authority to protect public health, control communicable diseases, or require vaccination, all of which are primarily state responsibilities. The administration therefore presented the vaccine mandate as an “emergency temporary standard” (ETS) issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which is charged specifically with protecting employees from workplace hazards. As the 5th Circuit indicated, that legal strategy leaves the mandate open to challenge on both statutory and constitutional grounds.

The plaintiffs in BST Holdings v. OSHA, who are represented by the Chicago-based Liberty Justice Center and Louisiana’s Pelican Institute for Public Policy, argue that the ETS exceeds the agency’s authority under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Even if it didn’t, they say, empowering OSHA to issue such a sweeping order would exceed the federal government’s power to regulate interstate commerce and violate the nondelegation doctrine, which constrains lawmaking by executive agencies…”

Democrats cannot let go of Covid. They seem to think their political future is dependent on it, and they have a weird predilection for imposing mandates on people.

Rittenhouse prosecution falls apart. Legal analysis by Andrew Branca

Alleged Victim Gaige Grosskreutz Implodes, Admits Had Glock Pointed At Kyle When Shot, Lied to Police About It

Andrew Branca:

“…By far the most destructive of Grosskreutz testimony to the State narrative of guilt was when he recounted before the jury that at the moment that he was shot in the bicep by Kyle—the moment that his bicep was “vaporized,” to use his own language—his Glock 27 .40-caliber pistol with a round in the chamber was pointed directly at Kyle from a distance of perhaps 3 feet.

All this while he insisted on direct examination that he would never be able to shoot another human being, because “that’s not the kind of person I am.”…

And

…Almost as compelling was Gaige Grosskreutz—I remind you, the STATE’s star witness—testifying repeatedly how Rittenhouse only ever shot at people who were actually attacking him, and never fired a shot at anybody who was not, or even anybody who appeared to have begun and attack but then backed of.

Here’s Grosskreutz recounting how Kyle had the opportunity to shoot him as he rushed up, gun in hand, but did not fire when Grosskreutz put the brakes on his rush and put his hands up in the universal gesture of “unthreatening.”…

And

…Perhaps as sweet as Grosskreutz’ testimony about how disciplined Kyle was in his judicious use of deadly defensive force only against people apparently attempting to kill or maim him, was Grosskreutz’ testimony about his own tender concerns for Kyle’s well-being while being attacked by multiple deadly force aggressors.

Here’s Grosskreutz testifying that in his opinion Kyle was in genuine physical danger, a danger about which he himself was concerned…

And

…Here’s Grosskreutz testifying that he was particularly concerned that Kyle might suffer serious head trauma under the tender mercies of Anthony Huber’s skateboard—in the same day that ADA Binger sought to ridicule the notion that a skateboard could present a deadly force threat.

In fact, Grosskreutz was on record as having told police that he was particularly concerned about the manner in which Anthony Huber was swinging the skateboard with a grip on the “trucks,” the metal fixtures that attach the wheels to the board, and which provides for the board to be struck with exceptional force.

Indeed, so concerned was Grosskreutz by the danger of Huber’s skateboard attack, that he repeatedly shouted at Huber to stop hitting Kyle with the board—yes, that’s his own testimony under cross-examination today…

And

…As for the notion pushed by ADA Binger that the men attacking 17-year-old did so in the belief that he was a purported “active shooter,” Grosskreutz put a stake in the heart of that nonsensical narrative when he conceded that even he—the only identified of the attackers on Kyle who could have been so motivated—lacked any reasonable basis on which to come to such a conclusion.

As I noted in my most recent post examining the issues of provocation in this case, an “active shooter” belief that Kyle was an “active shooter” in the absence of evidence consistent with such a perception can only be an irrational, speculative, and imaginative belief . And an irrational, speculative, and imaginative belief of an attacker cannot in any way diminish a defender’s privilege of self-defense.

To allow this to be would be to make every claim of self-defense contingent on the irrational, speculative, and imaginative beliefs of the attacker—and that’s not how self-defense law in general, nor the law in particular, works.

In the context of an “active shooter” perception, for that perception to be reasonable, and not merely speculative, at a minimum there must be evidence of the core characteristic of an “active shooter,” as an aggressor who has or is attempting to shoot multiple people. And Gaige Grosskreutz, naturally, had zero evidence that Kyle had engaged in any such activity…”
