CAN JOE BIDEN STAND UP TO STACEY ABRAMS?
I agree with Scott’s prediction that Stacey Abrams will not be Joe Biden’s running mate. But the fact that we’re even talking about a failed gubernatorial candidate who has never served at a higher level than state legislator as a possible vice presidential nominee is a tribute to a combination of Abrams’s ability to self promote and the frivolousness of the Democratic Party and its media backers.
It’s also a commentary on Joe Biden that the Washington Post could write the following headline (paper edition): “Abrams’s pitch could put Biden in tough spot.” The theme of the Post’s article is that Abrams’s aggressive pursuit of a place on the ticket creates a dilemma for Biden. Either he rejects Abrams, and thereby “disappoint[s] some activists excited about the possibility of a young, energetic African American woman joining the ticket,” or he selects her and commits political suicide runs with a novice on the national scene whose fitness for the presidency is subject to serious question.
The Post quotes a major financial contributor to Biden’s campaign who says: “Stacey Abrams — is she ready on Day 1? I don’t think so.” Will Stacey Abrams be ready on Day 1,000? I don’t think so.
If the dilemma posited by the Post gives Biden even a moment’s puzzlement, then the old-timer is even less fit to run the country than I think he is. How is Biden going to stand up to Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping if he can’t stand up to Stacey Abrams?

But it was all a lie, McCorvey says in a documentary filmed in the months before her death in 2017, claiming she only did it because she was paid by antiabortion groups including Operation Rescue.”

While our memory has a way of removing rough edges from events we should not try to whitewash the past and rewrite history to present a different picture of what really happened. Because of the stark contrast in the demeanor and style of Trump and Obama, the media has “photo shopped” reality. Obama has been painted as, a thoughtful, intelligent, capable man full of hope and able to bring us together. He did, after all, bring America’s economy back from the brink of disaster following the Great Recession. Trump, on the other hand, is often portrayed as a divisive, dishonest, braggart, and a buffoon. The fact is during Obama’s time as President the country suffered scandal upon scandal upon scandal, it might be fair to say we had “scandals galore.”

Daily Quotes and a meme
Insight: “The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor.” —George Orwell (1903-1950)
The bottom line: “The lockdown is ending because the American people say it’s ending. No further explanation from government is necessary.” —Dan Bongino
For the record, Part I: “The law enforcement and intelligence apparatus of this country were involved in advancing a false and utterly baseless Russian-collusion narrative against the president.” —Attorney General William Barr
For the record, Part II: “What happened to the president in the 2016 election … was abhorrent, it was a grave injustice, and it was unprecedented in American history.” —William Barr
Observations: “Here’s something to ponder: The same progressives who were telling President Trump that he can’t detain illegal immigrants are now telling American citizens they must be locked up in their homes and their businesses must be shut down.” —Gary Bauer
Upright: “When a disc jockey or a talk show host or a journalist who is being paid to work from his or her home tells people who can’t work, pay bills or pay their rent or mortgage to ‘Stay home and be careful because we’re all in this together,’ it’s okay to question the premise.” —Pat Sajak
Friendly fire: “The politicians & unelected bureaucrats who stole our liberty should be tarred, feathered & thrown out of town!” —Elon Musk
Braying jackass: “As far as the president is concerned, he’s our president and I would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists, especially in his age group and in his, shall we say, weight group — morbidly obese, they say. So I think it’s not a good idea.” —Nancy Pelosi on Trump’s taking hydroxychloroquine as prescribed by his doctor
And last… “It is easy to ‘prioritize public health’ when you work comfortably from home.” —Rep. Dan Crenshaw

The ACLU’s Absurd Title IX Lawsuit
“Its peculiar motivations to one side, the legal argument that the ACLU is advancing is a preposterous one. The ACLU alleges that the regulations DeVos has outlined are “arbitrary and capricious” and violate the Administrative Procedures Act as a result. But, somewhat unusually for this administration, this change was carefully considered and painstakingly constructed. Not only did DeVos wait three years before rolling out her reforms, but she made sure to base them upon well-established precedents, the legal standing of which predates the formation of the United States. The only “arbitrary and capricious” provisions in play here are the ones that are being swept away.
The ACLU also alleges that, by protecting the due-process rights of those who have been accused of sexual assault, the administration is violating Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, which, among other things, guarantees women equal educational opportunities. Or, put another way, the ACLU alleges that unless men who are accused of rape are discriminated against to the point at which their guilt is preordained, women will be unable to enjoy their own legal rights. Once upon a time, this line of argument was repugnant to the ACLU — and to the point at which it was happy to defend the speech rights of neo-Nazis who were explicitly trying to upset minorities. Now, it is not only happy to pick sides, but to pretend that it is doing so in the name of equality.
We’ve never been fans of the ACLU, but at least it once had a purpose. Now, it has become just another progressive interest group, beholden to nothing but the weathervane.“

The piece, penned by Pulitzer winner Susan Faludi, says that conservatives who “caught feminists in a new hypocrisy trap” are using the the “Believe All Woman” mantra to taint the reputation of those who were either silent or defensive when Tara Reade accused Biden of sexual assault, compared to the treatment that Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh received when facing similar accusations in 2018.
