DON’T GET COCKY: Biden should lose reelection, odds ‘increasingly bleak.’ “Biden’s chances may rest on him experiencing a comeback similar to what Obama achieved in 2012 when Biden was serving as vice president. That year, national mood indicators and Obama’s job approval rating significantly improved during the campaign, and the president was elected to a second term. Unlike Obama, though, Biden also faces questions about his age and ability to carry out his duties in a second term. Biden is also starting at a lower point in job approval than Obama did, meaning he has to show a bigger improvement.”

ANALYSIS: TRUE. The Left Wants to Hold on to Power, but We’re the Resistance. “The left wants to gobble up as much power as it can, and we’ve seen what Democrats are trying to do to Donald Trump because they see him as a threat.

We conservatives are the resistance against this wholesale attempt to shut down anyone who stands in the left’s way.”

EVENTUALLY THE LIES COME HOME TO ROOST:  Too Many, Not Enough.

OPEN THREAD: Because I love you and want you to be happy.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS: Krugman vs. Krugman. New York Times columnist tries to memory-hole his prior views on immigration.

And don’t get him started on this sort of invasion of illegal aliens: Fake an Alien Invasion, Save the U.S. Economy. “‘If we discovered that space aliens were planning to attack and we needed a massive build-up to counter the space alien threat, and inflation and budget deficits took secondary place to that, this slump would be over in 18 months. And then if we discovered, ‘whoops, we made a mistake, there aren’t actually any space aliens,’ we’d [still] be better,’ he added.”

TRUNALIMUNUMAPRZURE!

I’m so old, I can remember when jump cut ransom note videos were strictly for when the DNC-MSM interviewed Republicans, not to get one of their own over the hurdle.
