Kendi and an article on how white women play a ‘role in racial (in)justice.'”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Another Suspicious Dead Body Drops In Hillary Clinton’s Wake. “People who have dirt on BJ and Granny Maojackets have a bad habit of offing themselves, going all the way back to when Vince Foster got ‘suicided’ in 1993. It’s always felt as if the Clintons were heading up a criminal empire rather than a political dynasty. Heck, I should probably tell my sister to keep checking on me after I write this.”
WHY NOT? THEY SLEPT THROUGH EIGHT YEARS OF HIS OLD BOSS: Most of the media will sleep through the Biden years.
Researchers analyzed reporting from major TV networks and newspapers during the first 60 days of the five most recent presidencies and found that only 19% of Biden stories were negative. By comparison, 62% of stories on former President Donald Trump were negative.
A Boston Herald editorial admitted that “the press … is treating Biden with kid gloves.”
That’s not how journalism is supposed to work. The press is often described as the “Fourth Estate” because it serves as a final check on democracy beyond the three government branches.
Under Trump, Washington correspondents embraced that role, perhaps overzealously. Journalists complained that Trump’s press briefings were “a venue for attacks on the media and a forum relatively light on information about what government is doing.” So, reporters doggedly searched for smoking guns to the point of abandoning principles and publishing conspiracy theories.
Now, these same journalists have stopped being adversarial. But why?
Because Democrat. Next question?
ANALYSIS: TRUE. There Is No Way Joe Biden Should Have A Summit With Vladimir Putin.
The Administration says the summit is intended to restore “stability to the US-Russia relationship.” But the meeting comes after a slew of Russian cyber intrusions and conspicuously little U.S. response. Not only is the meeting unlikely to produce results, but it also risks bolstering Putin’s image within Russia and on the world stage.
The list of recent Russian misdeeds is lengthy. It includes the Kremlin’s attempts to influence U.S. elections and Russian hackers’ disruptions of U.S. energy infrastructure. Elsewhere, Russia has engaged in poisoning activist Alexei Navalny, Black Sea bullying, and challenging the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
To say that US-Russian relations are not congenial is an understatement. Russian officials have publicly stated that relations are worse than during the Cold War. As if to prove its hostility, the Kremlin hacked USAID just days after Secretary of State Tony Blinken and his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, met to discuss cooperation on issues of global stability.
Despite these provocations, Biden offered Putin a gift: the upcoming summit.
Both men’s summit appearances are mostly for domestic consumption, but only one will get what he want out of it.

She hasn’t shown up for the job, she had an awful trip to Guatemala that accomplished nothing, and doesn’t like taking questions about any of it either.”

APOLOGY ACCEPTED, CAPTAIN NEEDA: Leftists at Media Matters Caught Pushing Lie About Republican (Again). “Media Matters, the progressive organization that helps create the Democrat’s anti-conservative talking points behind closed doors, was caught pushing a lie about Texas Republican Bob Hall. This lie was so obviously wrong, so egregious they had to retract the story and apologize.”
