BIDEN’S LATEST DEMENTED ACTION: The lamest lame duck executive seeks to meddle with the judicial branch. “These are familiar proposals. Are we to discuss them anew because they are proposed by our greatly diminished President? There is no prospect of passing these amendments. We are simply being assigned a topic by a very foolish fond old man.”
UPDATE:
“Now that I have honorably limited my government service to just 51 years, I think the proper limit for a position that is supposed to be lifetime should be 18 years. Rules start NOW!” https://t.co/lt5ENXgE0H

WELL, OF COURSE THEY’D PREFER HARRIS: Iran Is Working to Undercut Trump in Presidential Election, U.S. Spy Agencies Say: Tehran’s preference is rooted in concerns about a Trump presidency fanning tensions with U.S.
“Fanning tensions.”
#JOURNALISM:
They should mix up the propaganda more. This is way too obvious.
Just like when they were parroting before the debate that Biden was “sharp as a tack” 🤣 https://t.co/UZRUVM0Q7z

BECAUSE THE NARRATIVE ABOUT “ESCALATION” IS CONTROLLED BY PEOPLE WHO HATE ISRAEL: Why is it only ‘escalation’ when Israel retaliates? Israel has every right to respond to Hezbollah’s cruel slaughter of 12 Druze kids.
Let me just also ask, what’s wrong with escalation? D-Day was an escalation. So were the Doolittle Raid and Hiroshima. Escalation ends wars. A “peace process,” on the other hand, keeps them going forever. Which serves the interests of some, sure enough.
TONI AIRAKSINEN: Lawyer: Autistic Students Disadvantaged By Biden’s Title IX’s Kangaroo Courts. “Normal autistic behaviors may be misinterpreted by Title IX administrators. In fact, most of Title IX training involves attributing ‘negative connotations to behaviors which are quite common to autistic people,’ explains Tucker. Examples of this include failure to make eye contact, delay in providing answers during questioning, lack of emotion, and defensiveness or anger if the student feels they are being challenged. The training of campus Title IX administrators often makes no concession for those on the autism spectrum, despite that anywhere from 10-20% of men are on it.”
Report these Title IX administrators to the ADA administrators.

TROUBLE: Harris VP Short-Lister Comes Loaded with Baggage. “On the menu today: A new report contends that Minnesota governor Tim Walz is on the short list to be Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate. This is almost laughable when you look at Walz’s record running the state government, which somehow manages to combine the honesty of former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, the competence of former Louisiana governor Kathleen Blanco, and the sharp-eyed ethical-watchdog instincts of soon-to-be-former New Jersey senator Bob Menendez.”
Add that to Josh Shapiro’s sexual harassment issues and Mark Kelly’s Chinese spy balloon interests, and it’s narrowing the field a bit.
THREAD:
For Iran it was the Obama nuclear deal, for Venezuela it was the deal last year to lift sanctions on energy if Maduro would allow a free and fair election. Biden-Harris need that product on the market to keep prices down since they don’t want to increase domestic production.…

Just kidding, he won’t be able to deliver troops by Starship for at least 5 years, and the powered armor won’t be done before then either.
YES.

“HE IS DEAD ON ARRIVAL:” Joe Biden Seemingly Threatens the Life of Speaker Johnson in a Very Strange Shouted Response.
We are ruled by people who are crazy, inept, and possess murderous instincts.
CAN YOU BLAME THEM? Behind hoopla, Democrats anxious about Harris.
AND, JUST LIKE THAT, IT WAS OKAY TO QUESTION ELECTION RESULTS AGAIN: US, allies demand Maduro show his election receipts in Venezuela.
The U.S. and other democracies in the hemisphere are facing a high-stakes test on how they’ll respond to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s claim of reelection victory amid widespread accusations of fraud. The Biden administration is so far keeping its powder dry but has expressed serious concerns that the published results do not accurately reflect the will of the Venezuelan people. . . .
Neither the CNE nor Maduro have produced the receipts, but opposition observers claim to have the records from at least 40 percent of stations.
Those records show opposition candidate Edmundo González with about a 70-30 lead over Maduro.
“It’s simply not mathematically possible that Maduro can prevail in an election with González having won 7 in 10 votes in the 40 percent of voting tabulations to which the opposition had access,” said Jason Marczak, vice president and senior director of the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center.
Well, whatcha gonna do about it?

THEY’RE BOTH HANDSOME, BUT THE MASERATI LOOKS MUCH BETTER IN MY OPINION: 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT63 vs. Maserati MC20 Cielo: Duel for Grand Tourer Supremacy!
But I don’t even have to be tempted, because the Insta-Wife doesn’t like riding in small cars, and there’s no point having a sports car if you’re not going to have a hot chick in the passenger seat. I do think it’s funny that the Maserati’s interior is much more low-key than the Mercedes.
