WORRIES BECAUSE TRUMP TOOK A STEROID AND HAS NUCLEAR AUTHORITY.
Well, Kennedy was on a witch’s brew of drugs during the Cuban Missile Crisis, as we’ve known for years, and that didn’t lead to any calls for change. “By the time he was president, he was on ten, 12 medications a day. He was on antispasmodics for his bowel, paregoric, lamodal transatine [ph], he was on muscle relaxants, Phenobarbital, Librium, Meprobomate, he was on pain medications, Codeine, Demerol, Methadone, he was on oral cortisone; he was on injected cortisone, he was on testosterone, he was on Nembutal for sleep. And on top of that he was getting injected sometimes six times a day, six places on his back, by the White House physician, with Novocain, Procaine, just to enable him to face the day.”
NPR’s take on Kennedy: “What a heroic thing this was.”
RIP: Roberta McCain, Mother of Late Sen. John McCain, Dies at 108.
Exit quote from the Washington Post’s obit: “In her 90s, Mrs. McCain spent three hours each Tuesday morning at the National Gallery of Art or the Freer Gallery of Art, whose collection of Chinese porcelain she particularly admired. Asked by Vogue to explain her longevity, good health and general fearlessness, she shrugged. ‘I don’t do anything I’m supposed to do. I don’t exercise and today, I’ve already eaten a half a box of caramel popcorn,’ she told the magazine. ‘Honey, I’ve had a dream life, and it was all luck.’”
THE ORWELL HEARING: Dems Warp Meaning of ‘Court Packing.’
The Democratic Party’s presidential nominee Joe Biden, a man who vows to bring normalcy back to a battered nation, is unable to tell voters whether he supports a plan to destroy the American judicial system.
Of course, if Biden promises he won’t pack the courts in retaliation for the likely confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, the sizable anti-constitutional wing of his party will be enraged. If he promises to do it, the brittle façade of “moderation” will be smashed.
Biden, who once argued that FDR’s court-packing scheme had been a great corruption of power, hasn’t been able to wave away the question. Last week, he told a local reporter that voters would find out his answer on court packing after the election. When asked whether he believed that voters “deserved” to know before they voted, he responded that, no, they did not. (These are the same Democrats, incidentally, who contend that confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett should be postponed because Americans are already voting.)
All of this is an unexpected dilemma for Democrats, whose candidate seldom faces a challenging query from, well, just about anyone. Unable to wave away the controversy, liberals have decided to run with full-blown doublespeak, deliberately obfuscating, warping, and reversing the meaning of “court packing.” And most of the political media responded by asking, “Whose car are we taking?”
Another Orwellianism by Democrats at the start of Barrett’s hearing: ‘Where’s MY picture?!’ Dems dragged for shamelessly placing pics of people ‘who will lose’ healthcare in front of ACB at #SCOTUSHearing.
Obama’s repeated “If you like your plan you can keep your plan” lies were so outrageous, even his fellow Democrats at “Politifact” couldn’t ignore it, dubbng it their “Lie of the Year” in 2013.

GIVEN THE SIZE OF HONG KONG THAT’S HARDLY CATASTROPHIC: Hong Kong facing 1,000 winter deaths from coronavirus, expert warns, as city records seven new cases of Covid-19.
BEING THERE: Joe Biden Forgets What Office He’s Running For, Declares Senate Candidacy. “‘We have to come together, that’s what I’m running,’ the 77-year-old began during a Toledo drive-in rally Monday. ‘I’m running as a proud Democrat for the Senate.’”
Biden’s mid-rally slip-up follows another Monday mix-up where the former Delaware senator forgot the name of his 2012 Republican opponents.
“You may remember,” Biden said when telling reporters he was opposed to Senate Democrats taking aim at Federal Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s faith, “I got in trouble when we were running against that senator who was a Mormon, the governor.”
That was back when Biden was saying that Republicans (presumably including Mitt Romney) were going to put black people “back into chains.”
Also today: “Later in the same speech, the Democrat standard-bearer directed his audience to a non-existent website: ‘IWill.com/Ohio.’”
JIM TREACHER: Trump Supporter Shot Dead in Denver, Media Tiptoes Around It.
So: Matthew Dolloff is a private security guard who doesn’t have a license, he wasn’t wearing anything that identified him as security, and the company that was supposed to have employed him says he doesn’t work for them.
If that seems strange to you, then you have a more curious nature than most of the national news media. They’re tiptoeing around the story, giving it just enough coverage to cover their own asses.
That’s because the shooter is on their team. Despite the Denver Police’s initial claim, Dolloff’s social media history is full of leftist stuff…

UNDERSTANDING WHAT’S AT STAKE IN 2020 IS REALLY QUITE SIMPLE: That’s according to Claremont Institute’s Thomas Klingenstein. The issues are three and easy to grasp, but the simplicity doesn’t prevent 2020 being “a referendum on the Founding. Whether America was founded in 1619 as the BLM Democrats contend, or in 1776, as Lincoln and until very recently all Americans believed.”
