There is obviously no percentage in him running as the most progressive presidential nominee in a couple of generations.

CNN Reporter’s “Analysis” of Kamala Is One Long Press Release
Maeve Reston, national political “reporter” for CNN, has published a string of glowing stories in the wake of Biden’s selection of Kamala Harris as his running mate, marking a stark departure from her treatment of Sarah Palin’s 2008 run. Reston, who frequently publishes “analysis” pieces for CNN that are not cast as opinion, has been unrelenting in her praise for the Harris pick.
Kamala Lies Repeatedly in First Speech as Biden’s Running Mate
No, the U.S. has not been hit “worse than any other advanced nation” by the coronavirus.
Kamala Is No Moderate
Joe Biden’s vice-presidential pick is a self-serving and dishonest politico…She was moderately corrupt as an attorney general, moderately abusive as a senator, and now moderately dangerous to the rule of law. Americans should be moderately terrified.
Susan Rice as VP Could Be Recipe for Disaster
Rice’s career shows over 20 years of bad judgment and ill-informed policy positions that have damaged U.S. national security and contributed to humanitarian disasters and genocide. Rice as vice president under a doddering President Biden could be a recipe for national-security chaos and disaster.
Here’s What You Probably Don’t Know About Susan Rice
Being soft on African dictators, pondering the electoral implications of calling genocide genocide, and giving Richard Holbrooke the finger, among other things.

Fox News Vs. Trump
The real harm Fox News is doing to Trump’s reelection campaign is that it’s reinforcing his worst tendencies.
AG William Barr Wins the Day
Barr is an excellent witness. He’s sober, usually doesn’t let his irritation show (although he will spin his pen faster), never says more than he has to, and knows more than anyone else in the room.
Fauci’s 3 Recent Mistakes

Today’s Revolutionaries Aren’t Like Their ’60s Predecessors
America is far less resilient, and a far more divided, indebted, and vulnerable target than it was in 1965. Today, radicals are not protesting against 1950s conservatism but rather against the radicals of the 1960s, who, as old liberals, now hold power.
Trump’s Covid Performance Is Sinking His Presidency
The president should have realized by now that he can’t look past or talk by the virus, and as long as it is spreading in a significant way his (hugely important) priorities of jump-starting the economy and seeing schools reopen around the country are going to falter.
The Disgrace of Portland

Politics Puts the NFL on the Brink
If the multibillion-dollar NFL decides that multimillionaire players have no obligation to stand to honor a collective national anthem, and that there will be separate anthems and politicized uniforms, then millions of Americans will quietly shrug and change the channel. And that silent protest will make the 2016–17 anthem protest look like child’s play.
Bari Weiss and Malignancy at the NY Times
Intellectual curiosity — let alone risk-taking — is now a liability at The Times. Why edit something challenging to our readers, or write something bold only to go through the numbing process of making it ideologically kosher, when we can assure ourselves of job security (and clicks) by publishing our 4000th op-ed arguing that Donald Trump is a unique danger to the country and the world?
Trump Spares Roger Stone Imprisonment, as Amnesiac Democrats Howl in Outrage
One-time defenders of unsavory Clinton and Obama pardons are outraged by the president’s commutation of his old associate’s 40-month sentence.

The Worrisome Decline of Patriotism in America

The Strategies of Dementia Politics
Stoke chaos, obstruct economic recovery, and hide Biden in the basement till Election Day.
The Reopening Is Not a Failure
The media’s tone is, of course, apocalyptic, with many commentators portraying many Republican governors as callous extremists hell-bent on reopening, come what may…The reality is that Greg Abbott, Ron DeSantis, and Doug Ducey are reasonable, public-spirited men who never said they would insist on full reopening regardless of the consequences.
