Joe Biden just had to come back to that podium

President Biden's disastrous Thursday Feb 8, 2024 news conference the White House hopes you forget, or never see

In my opinion the president actually acquitted himself quite well for an old man in a difficult job, however much he avoided the controversial conclusions of the special counsel as to what he did with the classified materials, who saw them, and about his mental state. If only he had not returned to the podium after ending his remarks he wouldn't be in the same mess he's in, immediately proving the special counsel correct when he mixed up Mexico and Egypt.

For a change, the press acted like the jackals they always were with Trump. Its Hamas wing thinks this is their opportunity to oust the befuddled old man who stands between them and their enemy Israel.

The White House has de-listed the video.

Sad to learn Ron Radosh joined the enemy

In a cogent essay, a leading conservative scholar and former high ranking State Department official, Peter Berkowitz, examines why about half the country believes elite legal progressives “have weaponized federal law enforcement.” He notes that “four criminal indictments [were] brought against Trump−all between April 4 and August 10, 2023, more than two years after he left office and just as the 2024 campaign ramped up….” In other words (as the Marxists used to say) it was no coincidence.

Berkowitz characterizes as “reckless” the Colorado Supreme Court decision to remove Trump from the ballot on the grounds that he violated the 14^th Amendment’s prohibition on those who “engaged in insurrection.” He points out that Trump has never been charged (let alone convicted) of insurrection.

Berkowitz excoriates neoconservative Robert Kagan’s argument that “the threat Trump poses to freedom and democracy in America justifies abusing the law to banish him from the political arena.” In this sense, Berkowitz notes, ”anti-Trumpers thereby facilitate the unraveling of the rule of law that they seek to avert.”

Gabe Schoenfeld and fellow apostate Ron Radosh devote an entire essay to rebutting Berkowitz’s argument. They defend the efforts by the Colorado Supreme Court and the Maine Secretary of State to disqualify Donald Trump from running for president as “the working out of the rule of law.” Further, Schoenfeld and Radosh laud Kagan’s endorsement (he “deserves high praise”) of “taking every conceivable measure” to stop Trump.

What better language than “every conceivable measure” to describe the logic of war?

The far worse public perceptions of Biden than of Trump have been confirmed by the special counsel report released yesterday and the disastrous Joe Biden news conference last night

The Democrats’ continuous calls during his four years in office to use the 25^th Amendment to remove President Trump from office on the presumed grounds of mental instability took a disastrous turn this week, as the effort self-combusted in a Hindenburg-sized blowback.

A number of people stated emphatically in the last year that Biden would drop out, maybe after today he will have to

Dems Panic Over Hur's Report on Biden’s Mental Fitness

DC civil jury of six finds Mark Steyn defamed Michael Mann, who plans to go after National Review next

Jury awards climate scientist Michael Mann $1 million in defamation lawsuit

During the trial, Steyn represented himself, but said through his manager Melissa Howes that he would be appealing the $1 million award in punitive damages, saying it would have to face “due process scrutiny.”

Biden holds press conference to show his brain really is applesauce

Biden's Unannounced Press Conference an Absolute Disaster

Matt Margolis, PJM

They're not going to prosecute Joe Biden for willfully retaining and disclosing classified materials, but they are going to let grandpa Applesauce Brains stay president lol

From special counsel Robert Hur's report here:

In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden's memory was worse. He did not
remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview
when his term ended ("if it was 2013 - when did I stop being Vice President?"), and
forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began ("in 2009, am I
still Vice President?"). He did not remember, even within several years, when his
son Beau died. And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan
debate that was once so important to him. Among other things, he mistakenly said
he "had a real difference" of opinion with General Karl Eikenberry, when, in fact,
Eikenberry was an ally whom Mr. Eiden cited approvingly in his Thanksgiving memo
to President Obama.

Our country is a giant prank played on the American people.

Biden ‘willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency,’ special counsel says

But the special counsel, Robert Hur, said he was declining to prosecute Biden over his handling of classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, and notebooks containing Biden’s entries about national security.

This is James Comey not prosecuting Hillary all over again.

But they will prosecute Trump in his classified documents case, upcoming.

This double standard will be all the reason people want and need to vote for Donald Trump again.

Trend for annual heating degree days in Grand Rapids, Michigan 1904-2023

The mean for annual heating degree days has dropped about 63 HDD from 1904-1963 at 6726 shown, to 6663 for 1963-2023, or 0.94%.

In the last 23 years, just 5 have been at or above the old mean shown, while 18 have been below. In the previous 23 years the pattern was much more even: 13 above the old mean shown and 10 below.

This is clearly a picture of recent moderating winters, but people forget that this comes on the heels of a prolonged period of much more severe winter cold extending 55 years from 1943-1997. During that period there were 40 winters above the old mean shown, and just 15 below it.

That cold period itself followed upon a previous period of previously well known warming where about 58% of the seasons in the record saw heating demand well below the old mean.

The Dust Bowl era. Maybe you've heard of it.

Higher mean heating degree day totals in the second half of the 20th century indicate its colder conditions compared with the eras book-ending it:

1904-1943: 6685 (40yrs)

1943-1997: 6883 (55yrs)

1997-2023: 6351 (27yrs).
