JILL BIDEN IS THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING: Howie Carr: Democrats look ill from too many ‘bogoda’ breakfast tacos.

The wheels are coming off the Democrats’ wagon, and not just in Washington either.

They’re losing it here in Massachusetts too, even though most of the attention is focused on the unprecedented catastrophe that is the Brandon administration.

On Monday, for instance, Dementia Joe Biden said that the Parkland High shootings occurred, not in 2018, but in 1918. He didn’t even correct himself. On the same day, his wife Dr. Jill compared Hispanics to “breakfast tacos” and mispronounced bodegas as “bogodas.”

And then there’s the vice president, who when asked by an interviewer about why the Democrats did nothing legislatively about abortion rights for a half-century, responded in her usual fashion: “I do believe that we should have rightly believed but certainly we believed that certain issues are just settled, certain issues are just settled.”

Interviewer: “Clearly were not.”

“No, that’s right and that’s why I do believe that we are living in sadly um real unsettled times.”

I’d agree that the wheels are coming off, but were they ever really on?

NEW YORK NEEDS A “STAND YOUR GROUND LAW,” ONE WHERE PROSECUTORS PAY A PENALTY FOR BAD PROSECUTIONS: Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of Jose Alba looks ever more troublesome.

When you kill a violent robber or other assailant, you’re not engaged in a selfish act. You’re engaged in a public service, by making such actions more dangerous and thus less common. We give vaccine companies protection from liability in order that they may serve the public interest, and we should do the same thing for bodega owners and other people who boost society’s resistance to parasites.

And when a black DA prosecutes a hard-working Latino immigrant on such an absurd basis, you can’t help but wonder if the DA is doing so because of racism.

MY NIGHT WITH THE ROLLING STONES:

That’s another British prime minister the Rolling Stones have outlasted.

When the band first plugged in under that name at London’s Marquee Club on July 12, 1962, Harold Macmillan was in Number 10 dealing with the “little local difficulty” of sacking a third of his cabinet. Then came Alec Douglas-Home, Harold Wilson, Ted Heath, Wilson again, Jim Callaghan, Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Theresa May, and now the soon-to-depart Boris Johnson. Thirteen administrations, an even dozen US presidents, and six popes. And through it all the Stones themselves have just kept rolling along. Not bad for a band of misfits that everyone, including them, thought would last a year or two at most.

When longtime Stones scribes like me come to consider the matter of the group’s most famous, or notorious, acts during their first sixty years together, they’re somewhat spoilt for choice. The hack’s eye might turn to some of the drug-related adventures of the 1960s, or to today’s superbly efficient mobile corporation, which even now continues to pack the sports stadiums of Europe. My own candidate for inclusion on the Stones’ greatest-hits list is more modest. It took place on the snowy night of February 12, 1977, at a thatched cottage in an otherwise silent village in the English countryside.

Seriously, they are over the moon about this performance, especially for her exchange with Sen. Josh Hawley. This started when Sen. Hawley asked about her use of the phrase ‘people with the capacity for pregnancy.’ Hawley asked if that meant ‘women’ and she said not it wasn’t limited to women but included trans people.”

Khiara Bridges, law professor at UC Berkeley School of Law: “I believe that a person with a capacity for pregnancy has value.”

Cornyn: “You’re not answering.”

Bridges: “I’m answering a more interesting question to me.”

“Oh. Is that how Congressional testimony works now? You just answer the imaginary things that float into your head while the members of Congress twiddle their thumbs and wait for you to land back on Earth? I don’t think that’s the way this works and I’m not sure why Democrats put her forward because it certainly isn’t helping their cause for the midterms when Americans see and hear this kind of testimony. It’s hard to imagine that she teaches people. But this is where Democrats are at this point, pushing nonsensical assertions.”
