Biden has been a great POTUS … unfortunately, most Americans don’t know it. A big part of a President’s job is SELLING his policies and his successes to the American people and Biden is unable to do that at this stage of his life. Biden maybe ‘with-it’...

Consider the setting. Namely, a hop, skip, and a bail jump from the lately Trump-stained Lewis R. Slayton Courthouse; in studios once ruled by Trump pal/shill Jeff Zucker; under the aegis of a moderator (Dana Bash) who, on 1/12/16 effectively stumped...

Can Biden Still Save America? Why the GOP and others have not long demanded that Trump drop out is a shameful question ignored. I am as strongly for Biden now as I was on the day before the 'non-debate' which was functionally a set up. To have debate...

It seems so long ago now that we thought that Biden would have cleaned Trump’s clock. And, this debate — in toto — was an unforced error for Biden. How did he not see this coming? How did he not combat the Gish Gallop with Reagan’s famous “there he...

I watched the debate in horror, like millions of Americans. Here was a slick conman with a national bullhorn- sans factchecking- next to a decent man who tells the truth but can’t get his words out. Even Republicans know Trump’s performance was a...

There are reports that Ukraine has carried out its first strikes with F-16s. There is no confirmation of this yet, so take it with a grain of salt. Also still unconfirmed is the Ukrainian strike on Russia’s big-ticket S-500 air-defense system in...

I don't post often. I've been mulling the debate disaster. Here's my solution. Biden is the leader of a large competent team of very capable politicians and executive branch administrators. It's a team. He works well with others. Call out all of the...

After having a couple of days to process what happened Thursday night, this is what I know: We don’t have a moment to lose. So far, I’ve heard two sides arguing about Biden’s candidacy since the debate. One side says, “Hey, just stop worrying and love...

It did not take long to realize things were not going well for Joe Biden during the debate. As I listened, I wondered whether Joe’s apparent difficulty in finding the words he needed were a result of him fighting his stutter or a result of him having...

Having watched the debate and also having been barraged with all the negativity that came afterwards, I would like to throw in my two cents of observation for what it’s worth. 1. Just over 50 million people watched it which is less than one third of...

I published a diary yesterday at 2 AM on Daily Kos "Nothing is More Important than Winning in November! Period! End of Story!" With so many stories being posted later in the morning hardly anyone got to read it. My bottom line: Joe Biden is a great...

This diary faces the reality that many people are afraid to admit, but should have expected. This reality of an 81 year old Joe Biden as presidential candidate is no excuse for what we saw Thursday night. The response to the debate here was far, far...

Although 61% of the state of Iowa’s population is in favor of allowing abortion in most cases, the State Legislature has passed, and now the State Supreme Court has upheld, a ban on abortion after detection of fetal cardiac activity. The law allows...

Putting your head in the sand and saying it was a bad night and Biden had a cold and Trump is a felon blah blah blah is all fine if that makes you feel better. Send more of your money to Biden for President if that helps you sleep. But can honestly...

— — It is amazing that anyone — paying attention to History — would actually give Candidate Trump any kudos on his imaginary Business “smarts.” The guy knows more about Bankruptcy Law and systematic Tax Fraud, than he ever will about the “kitchen...

I cancelled my subs to the NYT and WaPo months ago because, you know. . . . I persisted with The Guardian because of their claim to deliver "fearless, investigative journalism" and to be "free from political and commercial influence." Ha, I say. Ha-ha!...

It is entirely reasonable to wonder what if a President dies or becomes incapacitated and cannot serve. President Biden clearly has age related challenges but has served the country well despite those challenges. Actuarial tables indicate that...
