World's second best kept secret: Joe Biden once had a big problem with stuttering

Could partly explain some of his verbal gaffes, but honestly, nobody but a nincompoop says "JOBS" is a three letter word.


World's best kept secret: Democrat Joe Biden would consider CUTS to Social Security and Medicare, Trump notably won't


CNN Business is stupid: "Women now hold more jobs than men"

Here's the lede:

Women held slightly more jobs than men in December — the first time that's happened in nearly a decade. 

That's based on the Establishment Survey, which undercounts civilian employment by the millions.

The Household Survey shows 84 million men employed in December 2019, 74.8 million women. Employed women have never outnumbered employed men in the entire post-war history of the data.

Oops, GAO charge that Trump OMB violated 1974 Impoundment Control Act is hogwash

But concerning the withholding of funds, there is no potential crime here either. There is a process in place to sort out any disagreement between Congress and the president on such a matter. Section 683 of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 states that “whenever the President determines ... that such budget authority should be rescinded … [or] reserved from obligation for such fiscal year, the President shall transmit to both Houses of Congress a special message” to that effect with an explanation. The Congress then has 45 calendar days to concur, or the funds are to be “made available for obligation” and “may not be proposed for rescission again.”

Although Section 684 calls for a special message if the funds are to be deferred within the fiscal year, this special message does not force Congress to concur.

The lack of a special message from Trump for either section is not an impeachable offense. First, the president clearly had not made a conclusive decision that he wanted to propose the funds should be “rescinded” or “reserved from obligation.” Neither Trump nor his Democratic critics disagree that he was awaiting further information before deciding whether or not he wanted the funds conclusively rescinded. All he had done as of this summer was to withhold the funds temporarily. Therefore, it would have been premature for Congress to receive a proposal from him to rescind the funds.

Breaking: Pelosi delayed the impeachment waiting on her commemorative embossed souvenir pen order bearing her signature

The choreography is so over the top for the somber occasion, too, designed doubtlessly to mock Trump.

Speaking of carving out new states of the union, Virginia looks set to divide again, over guns, giving us West Virginia, Virginia, and South Virginia

Maybe what's left of Virginia will call itself Northern Virginia, but probably not. Might remind people of the Army of Northern Virginia, Robert E. Lee, minstrel shows in blackface, Gov. Ralph Northam, you know, that kind of thing.



I'm confused: How can the world be ending in 11 years when Obama stopped the rise of the oceans in 2008?

I mean, he just bought a house on an island, amirite?
