” how inappropriate she is as a candidate for any elected office”
I was considering why it’s so possible to have someone who is as dumb as a post be so successful.
Affirmative action aside, more due to gender than Pantone number I think (just look at local government), it seems to me that it’s largely a matter of the internet era with some help from broadcast media.
There was a time when politicians had to, and I mean had to, stand on their two hind feet and give long extemporaneous speeches. The whistle stop tour wasn’t just riding around in a train. Stringing together a decent talk of any length ain’t easy and requires a certain amount of mental horsepower, regardless of whether you agree with the person or not. You can have all the backers and puppeteers you like, but they’re no help once the talk to the crowd begins.

The only thing “selective” was the FBI and the DOJ selecting to ignore Hunter’s crimes for years until they were forced to charge him with at least something due to being exposed as covering up for the Bidens.

Continued from previous sandbox re Ellen Degeneres’s new Cotswolds ‘flooded’ farmhouse.
The photos didn’t actually show the farmhouse and its fields – photos were of areas near to, or close by. So there may, or not, have been flooding in the fields belonging to the house. And it never quite stated that the house itself had water inside of it. Evidently no one in that part of England has drones to take actual photos for a paper to publish or post online.
So it was another PR item to advertise Ellen & ‘wife’ to the world. Good press if you can get it. Did Ellen generate the ‘flooding’ comment herself for the PR? Don’t know. Maybe we’ll have to ask H. Biden for the facts.

Tru dat –
The federal judge overseeing Hunter Biden’s tax case issued a sharp rebuke of President Biden’s claim that his son was unfairly treated as well as the president’s delivery method following the president’s last-minute pardon.
in a scathing five-page order of “rewriting history” with the pardon and suggested that the breadth of the pardon granted to his son is unconstitutional.
“The Constitution provides the President with broad authority to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, but nowhere does the Constitution give the President the authority to rewrite history,” he wrote.
The judge voiced his displeasure that the president alerted the judicial system of his order to pardon his son via a White House press release.
“Rather than providing a true and correct copy of the pardon with the notice, Mr. Biden provided a hyperlink to a White House press release presenting a statement by the President regarding the pardon and the purported text of the pardon,” he wrote.
“In short, a press release is not a pardon,” he continued.
Scarsi continued, reacting to the president’s statement on his son’s tax case: “the President asserts that Mr. Biden ‘was treated differently’ from others ‘who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions,’ implying that Mr. Biden was among those individuals who untimely paid taxes due to addiction. But he is not.”
“According to the President, ‘[n]o reasonable person who looks at the facts of [Mr. Biden’s] cases can reach any other conclusion than [Mr. Biden] was singled out only because he is [the President’s] son.’ But two federal judges expressly rejected Biden’s arguments that the Government prosecuted Mr. Biden because of his familial relation to the President. And the President’s own Attorney General and Department of Justice personnel oversaw the investigation leading to the charges,” Scarsi wrote.
The judge said he would dispose of the case once he receives the official pardon from “the appropriate executive agency.”

Its gonna be a big fight –
The op-ed, by the New York Post‘s Miranda Devine, is entitled: “Dems’ attacks on the intelligent, articulate and patriotic Pete Hegseth show why they lost – a salute to Trump’s defense secretary pick.”
Devine touted his qualifications, writing:
Intelligent, articulate, patriotic, a graduate of Princeton and Harvard, a combat veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, with two Bronze Stars, Hegseth, 44, is an inspired choice to lead the Pentagon and rid it of the woke poison that has sent recruitment levels down the toilet.
He’s a lot better qualified to run the Defense Department than Kamala Harris ever was to be commander-in-chief
The perfect patriot to restore the morale of a dispirited military that has seen humiliation heaped on top of indignity in the Biden-Harris era — from the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan to the collapse of the Gaza pier, not to mention the exhibitionistic sexual fetishism that seems to have infected elements of the armed services.
She added that he would eradicate from the military the destructive ideology of “critical race theory” backed “Gen. Mark ‘Thoroughly Modern’ Milley — former chairman of the Joint Chiefs, protégé of Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden pet and de facto former leader of the military wing of The Resistance against Trump.”
She praised his ideas on how to reform the military, which he has laid out in speeches and his books.
She cited one excerpt from his book, “The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free,” where he wrote:
Our ‘elites’ are like the feckless drug-addled businessmen at Nakatomi Plaza, looking down on Bruce Willis’ John McClane in ‘Die Hard.’ But there will come a day when they realize they need John McClane — that in fact their ability to live in peace and prosperity has always depended on guys like him being honorable, powerful and deadly.
She also cited his recent interview on the Shawn Ryan Show, where he called for firing the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Charles “CQ” Brown.
“Any general … admiral, whatever, that was involved in any of the DEI/woke s–t has got to go,” he said. “Either you’re in for war fighting, and that’s the only litmus test we care about. You gotta get DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion] and CRT [critical race theory] out of military academies. You’re not training young officers to be baptized in this kind of thinking.”
She also noted that the military-industrial complex “freaked out” at the thought of not having a puppet heading the Pentagon, and noted that Wall Street was “unnerved” by his selection, “because defense contractors will lose their clout.”
She quoted a defense industry lobbyist, who told Politico: “Who the f–k is this guy?” as well as another defense official who told CNN, “Everyone is simply shocked” and warned there would be an effort to “take him down.”
She also cited neoconservative John Bolton and Never Trumper former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) bashing the pick.
She blasted MSNBC host “Joyless” Reid’s attack on Hegseth as a “Fox weekend morning-show host” without mentioning his Ivy League credentials.
“It’s the same snobbery and elitism that cost Dems the election — not just the Electoral College, the House and the Senate, but the popular vote,” she wrote, concluding, “The times they are a-changing. Trump has the mandate for change, and he is making the most of it.”

So, back in 2009, when the Obama Administration was handing out Bronze Stars, the Bronze Star was “one of the Army’s most prestigious awards.”
In fact, the Bronze Star was so prestigious, the Post dedicated an entire story to one man being awarded the Bronze Star.
Ah, but when one of Donald Trump’s nominees, in this case, Pete Hegseth, who is up for Defense Secretary, sports a Bronze Star, that is also worthy of an entire Post story. But this particular Post story about the Bronze Star denigrates the very thing the Post had already proudly described as “one of the Army’s most prestigious awards.”

She later again said, “I called out the U.S. Gov [sic]. poll where 64% of Americans, that’s not a small number, agree with the president’s decision to pardon his son.”
The poll was from YouGov, not U.S. Gov, which does not exist.
But according to the poll, it was 64% of Democrats who supported the pardon. Of the American people, only 34% “strongly” or “somewhat” approved of the pardon, while 50% of Americans either “strongly” or “somewhat” disapproved.
