I HAVE A CHAPTER IN THIS: Against the Corporate Media, edited by Michael Walsh, is coming out soon. Please put in a preorder if you’re interested, as that’s good for sales.

THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW:

ICYMI: IN A NUTSHELL:

THAT’S WHY THEY’VE SPENT 3 YEARS PUNISHING LAWYERS WHO BRING CHALLENGES:

POLAND DESERVES MORE ATTENTION:

ROGER KIMBALL: Joe Biden Ushers in More Uncertainty by Stepping Aside: Here we have a party that really is preparing to disenfranchise voters.

The kicker is that Biden’s incapacity has been known to honest observers for as long as he has been president, indeed from before he was president. I have made a hobby of pointing out Biden’s porous relation to the English language for years.

What now? The Democratic convention is less than a month away. His letter thanks Kamala Harris but stops short of endorsing her (that came in a follow-up tweet just after: she was then backed by Bill and Hillary Clinton though not, curiously, Barack Obama). What about the 14 million people who voted for the Biden-Harris ticket in the primaries? One of the many things that Jack Smith was prosecuting Donald Trump for was attempting to disenfranchise voters in the 2020 election by questioning the election.

In fact, Trump did not seek to disenfranchise voters, merely to call attention to irregularities in the election process. But here we have a party that really is preparing to disenfranchise voters, all in the name of holding on to power.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has said repeatedly that any effort by the Democrats to slip in another candidate now would probably face legal challenges in some states. Biden was the clear and undisputed winner of the party’s primaries — and all those votes cannot simply be tossed out.

It’s been an interesting week. A nutter tried to murder Trump at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Biden returned to his home, apparently with Covid, indisputably to huddle with his puppet masters to work out an exit strategy. What was he offered to walk the plank?

What could they have offered a man with terminal dementia?

OPEN THREAD: Ring out the weekend.

A (VERY) SMALL MEASURE OF ACCOUNTABILITY: Campus Protests Led to More Than 3,100 Arrests, but Many Charges Have Been Dropped. The same sons and daughters of the elite who go on about how America’s justice system treats rich and poor differently are benefiting from the fact that America’s justice system treats rich and poor differently. It’s two-tier justice in an increasingly two-tier society.

WELL:

HIDDEN HAZARDS: Digging Holes At The Beach Can Be Deadly. “Digging holes in sand might seem innocent, but if the hole is deep enough and collapses on a person, it is extremely difficult to escape. In fact, research suggests more people die from sand burial suffocation than from shark attacks.”

SHE IS NOT WRONG:

If I were Trump, I’d see if I could get Tulsi to follow Kamala around.

MAKES SENSE:

IN A NUTSHELL:

THE EV BUBBLE CONTINUES TO DEFLATE: Change of Plans: Ford Will Build Super Duty Trucks Instead of EVs in Canada (With a Twist). “Ford announced today that the Oakville Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada, will assemble Ford Super Duty pickup trucks starting in 2026. The move is a bit of an about-face, as the Oakville plant—which until recently had produced the Ford Edge (and before that, Edge-related vehicles) was supposed to build EVs. In April of last year, Ford announced with some fanfare a major investment in Oakville to create a next-generation EV campus, which was intended to build EVs starting in 2025. That isn’t happening, not by next year, and possibly not ever.”

YEP:

HEH:

JUST WATCH HOW THE PRESS, WHICH HAS NEVER LIKED KAMALA, WILL SUDDENLY BUILD HER UP. A saint, a warrior queen, a wise woman for our time, a loving shepherdess for our troubled flock.

UPDATE:

SO IF BIDEN’S UNFIT TO RUN A CAMPAIGN, HOW IS HE FIT TO RUN A COUNTRY?
