Greetings! Mainstream media spent the holiday weekend justifiably critiquing President Biden’s meh appearance on ABC News last Friday night.  Reporters from all platforms have been dutifully reporting on the growing chorus of prominent Dem politicians and donors calling for Biden to step aside.  So much for a pro-Biden bias in mainstream media…Phrase of the month: “cognitive decline”…My take on post-debate fallout: Biden gets a cold and democracy is infected with potentially fatal  pneumonia…Most insignificant scoop of the week.  The Washington Free Beacon is boasting about its investigation alleging that a male staff member in the Comms section of the Interior Department is posting sexually oriented messages on pornographic images of male models….The Daily Wire is digging for dirt too: Their new research suggests that Biden’s speaking errors doubled in the 12 months prior to his Trump debate last week.  “The officially-designated errors suggest that the man overseeing a multi-trillion dollar budget has difficulty communicating numbers,” the Wire reports. “He routinely says numbers that are off by multiple orders of magnitude, when an awareness of basic facts such as the size of the federal budget or the population of the country would seemingly alert the speaker that they could not be right”…Walk Like a Joe Biden, a year-old parody video of “Walk Like an Egyptian,” is trending. WND has the details…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Greetings! Word of the week:  DISASTROUS…Fundraising texts, mostly from the Biden campaign, have been bombarding me since last Thursday’s debate. Memo to politicos: it’s a  turn-off.  And just what does “report junk” actually accomplish?  I’m constantly hitting “delete and report junk” and nothing changes…Worst  political text since the debate disaster was from none other than Joe Biden.  “I’m not a young man,” he finally confesses, adding, “I don’t debate as well as I used to. I also know how to tell the truth.” Unfortunately, I don’t believe the president and his advisors (Barack Obama, I’m looking at you) are telling us the truth about Biden’s cognitive abilities. We’re being gaslighted.  We can’t unsee what we witnessed during the Trump/Biden smackdown. And I’m someone who has admired much of what the Biden administration has accomplished during his presidency.…Sans sources, Bill O’Reilly stated  on X that Biden will “quit the campaign.”  O’Reilly  adds that the White House is wrestling with how to gracefully bow out. … Holiday Week Watch: The Beach Boys on Disney+.  The doc presents a pristine vision of 60s America embodied by young southern California dudes with nothing more on their minds than surfing, cars and girls, not necessarily in that order.  Still, there’s a dark underbelly to this sunny tale…I’m taking the rest of the week off for some sunshine and fishing.  Will be back Monday, July 8.  Happy birthday America.  Keep standing strong.  Millions still believe in democracy…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.  Howard
