Biden to George Stephanopoulos: I'm the guy that put NATO together, I'm the guy that shut Putin down
Joe was 6 when NATO was founded.
Putin is still in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine, and we're still spending billion$ to stop him.

Holy cow, Biden's teleprompter told him Jackie Walorski was dead at the Sep 2022 event where he called out to her weeks after she had died
THEY MUST HAVE PUT THAT IN THE TELEPROMPTER FOR A REASON PEOPLE.
Gee, what could it be?
AXIOS here:
Other instances of trying to explain away Biden's lapses have gotten
renewed scrutiny as potential evidence that top aides were covering up
Biden slipping mentally.
- In September 2022 at a speech on food insecurity, Biden tried to give a shout-out to Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.), who had worked on the issue — but who had been killed in a car accident weeks earlier.
- Biden had issued a statement of condolences. The White House flew flags at half-staff in honor of her death.
- "Representative — Jackie, are you here? Where's Jackie? I think she wasn't going to be here," Biden said at the event.
Biden's prepared remarks included a note that Walorski had recently passed away and thanked her for her contributions, two people familiar with the speech told Axios.
- Biden didn't remember she had died, and either ignored the Teleprompter or had trouble reading it.
- White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre deflected tough questioning the next day by CNN's Phil Mattingly, CBS's Steven Portnoy and others.
- Jean-Pierre refused to acknowledge Biden made a mistake, and didn't commit to releasing the original version of the remarks.
- She said at the briefing: "I don't think it's all that unusual to have someone top of mind, especially as there's a big event."
- The White House didn't respond to questions about this incident.
James Carville to the rescue, reminds me of the pope lately
Democratic culture has too many preachy females. Too much 'Don't eat Hamburgers, don't watch football, wear a condom'. Man, shit, leave me alone.
Seen here.
Meanwhile in the US, full time employment as a percentage of population is in real trouble now
The June level finally made it to 50.03% after six consecutive months below 50%, but the first half of 2024 averages a level now comparable to 1H2018, at 49.5%.
The total number of full time workers itself is down 1.36% in the first half, which is alarming, as in 2008 alarming. (I try to avoid comparisons to 2020 because it was a pandemic-induced anomaly.)
It's on the skids.

Labour sweeps to UK victory on minor improvement to support as disaffected pro-Brexit and anti-immigration voters abandon feckless Conservatives for Nigel Farage's Reform Party
Keir Starmer to become PM. Have fun stormin' the castle!
Liberal Democrats and Greens made relatively huge gains while the Scottish National Party took it up the kilt. Sinn Fein utterly collapsed lol.
Turnout was low at 60%, the post-war low being 59.4% in 2001.
It's ludicrous. The UK Reform Party got all of four seats for all that damage done to Conservatives. Nigel Farage, 60, is gearing up to make his next big impact in 2029, when he'll be 65. Whoop-dee-doo.

Speaking of mendacity, here's Buck Sexton insinuating that Kamala Harris deployed Christine Ford against Brett Kavanaugh when it was Anna Eshoo and Diane Feinstein
But of course the lapdogs just lap up this rewriting of history, which is deployed now because Kamala Harris is on the cusp.
Kamala simply piled on the pig-pile after the fact and has never done anything notable either as a senator or as VP.
She's a Didn't Earn It hire who came in a distant fourth in November 2019 in presidential polling . . . in her own state of California. That's why she dropped out.
Not even California wanted her anywhere near the White House.
