CRINGEWORTHY:
Joe Biden seeks advice on how to fake it as President from people who pretended to be President.
Who at the real White House thought this was a good idea?!?! Yikes. https://t.co/tIo8yS1S3S

COLD WAR II: China building new generation of mobile ICBMs.
Gen. Anthony Cotton, who took over Strategic Command in December, revealed details of the new mobile ICBM development in closed-door testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee last week, The Washington Times has learned.
The four-star nuclear forces commander described the rapid deployment of Chinese strategic nuclear missiles, bombers and submarines as “breathtaking” – and was the second Strategic Command leader to testify to the alarming pace of nuclear expansion by Beijing.
The new missile was mentioned by Gen. Cotton in a little-noticed passage in his prepared testimony to the committee.
In outlining Chinese missile advancement, including that China now has more ICBM launchers than the United States, Gen. Cotton stated that the People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force is “developing a new generation of mobile ICBMs.”
A Strategic Command spokesman declined to comment further on the new missile, citing a policy of not discussing classified information. The spokesman said the general stands by his testimony on the weapon.
The disclosure comes as the United States government is struggling to modernize its own aging nuclear forces, including 400 silo-based Minuteman III ICBMs that are nearing the end of their life cycle.

WILLIAM GALSTON: President Biden’s Fraying Coalition.
Broadly speaking, the coalition that gave Mr. Trump 47% of the vote in 2020 remains intact, while Mr. Biden’s winning coalition has frayed significantly. According to the New York Times/Siena poll, 97% of those who voted for Mr. Trump four years ago intend to do so again in 2024, compared with 83% for Mr. Biden. Ten percent of Mr. Biden’s former supporters say that they will switch to Mr. Trump. This helps explain the top-line numbers: Mr. Biden outpolled Mr. Trump in 2020 by nearly 4.5 points but now trails him by 2.1, a 6.6-point swing.
Key blocs in the Democratic coalition have eroded. In 2020 Mr. Biden won 18- to 29-year-old voters by 24 points; now his lead is half that. He won in the suburbs by 11 points but leads by only 2 now. His lead among black voters has fallen from 84 points to just 43, and it would be a historic shift if Mr. Trump comes anywhere near the 23% support the poll found. Mr. Biden prevailed among Hispanic voters by 21 points in 2020 but now trails by 6 in this expanding group.
This result for Hispanics may seem hard to believe, but it’s consistent with other findings. Only 16% of Hispanics say that economic conditions are excellent or good compared with 84% who rate them as fair or poor. Only 31% approve of Mr. Biden’s performance as president; 67% disapprove. A tougher approach to immigration is no deal-breaker: 45% of Hispanics favor making it harder to seek asylum at the southern border, nearly as many as the 47% who oppose it. Ideologically, Hispanics are to the right of the Democratic Party: Only 20% describe themselves as liberal, vs. 44% as moderate, and 30% as conservative.
The fraying of the Biden coalition is evident in the swing states as well.
What doesn’t show up in the polls is dirty tricks, so don’t get cocky.

BIDEN TO DELIVER STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH AT THE LATEST DATE EVER:
President Joe Biden will be delivering his second State of the Union address on Thursday, where he will likely highlight the achievements of his administration and lay out his plans for the future in front of one of the most politically divided Congresses in modern history.
Biden is presenting his case to both the Republican-controlled House, which is actively looking into him for potential impeachable offenses, and the Democratic-dominated Senate, which has generally followed his lead on significant legislation.
The speech’s March 7 delivery date is the latest one for a State of the Union address in history, Fox News noted.

YOU CAN DO BETTER, COLORADO — AND GET ONE WHILE YOU STILL CAN: Concealed carry keeps growing in Colorado; over twenty-five thousand new permits in 2023. “While that number trails a permitting surge during Covid lock-downs and rioting related to the police killing of George Floyd (over 37,000 in 2020 and more than 41,000 in 2021), it’s still larger than the 23,250 permits issued in pre-pandemic 2019. In the five-year period from 2019-2023, just over 155,000 Coloradans obtained new permits, while just under 143,ooo existing permits were renewed (a Colorado CHP is valid for five years).”

We’re not looking for a significant other or a prom date.”
