Biden Team Gets Dunked Into Next Week After What May Be the Most Delusional Remark on Biden Presser
He's been horrible on foreign affairs. The only question people might have is which he's been worse on since he's also horrible at domestic policy, ringing in crushing inflation and high interest rates.
Thus ended a terrible showing for Biden and possibly his presidency. Yes, he's going to stay in the race, but his chances of winning are dwindling to nothing. Will the press be ridiculous enough to claim that presser was a win?
Debunking the Remaining Myth: Biden Has Never Been a 'Decent Man'
No, he is not a decent man. He’s never been a decent man. Before Joe Biden drifted into complete incoherence, he was a nasty, vindictive "Queen of Hearts" who fell upwards his entire career. And he’s lied all the way while doing it.
WHAT'S ON TAP?
Today on Capitol Hill...
It's a Summer Friday, so quieter for the Congress critters than mid-week, with only two field hearings set:
- House Financial Services, Financial Institutions and Monetary Policy Subcommittee —Financial Institution-Fintech Partnerships: Leveraging Third-Party Relationships to Increase Access to Financial Services (Lexington, KY)
- House Ways and Means — Field Hearing on Access to Health Care in America: Unleashing Medical Innovation and Economic Prosperity (Salt Lake City, UT)
Expect most of the Dems to be huddled trying to figure out their next move in light of President I'm Not Going Anywhere's steadfast refusal to get out the way.
White House What's Up
Speaking of the stubborn cuss, President Joe Biden's schedule is a bit lighter today than his Big Boy Thursday was: a quiet morning, followed by an afternoon jaunt to Michigan for a campaign event, before returning to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, for some R&R.
Full Court Press...
The jury is deliberating Friday in Senator Bob Menendez's (D-NJ) corruption trial — will we see a verdict before the weekend?
Rumor also has it that Alec Baldwin hasn't been terribly pleased with his New Mexico trial regarding the "Rust" set shooting.
MORNING MUSING
Unlike our beloved streiff (and many of our readers), I can't claim to have been here at RedState since the beginning, but it's been a wonderful seven-plus years for me so far. I'll have my own fuller reflection on the site and our 20th Anniversary, but for now, just want to say: Happy Birthday, RedState, and thank you to all of our readers!!
