Some may want to praise Jill Biden for standing by husband Joe after his dementia-affected debate performance last week. But in reality she’s standing on him, say critics — in a quest to maintain her prestige and power.
And one of these critics is Mrs. Biden’s ex-husband, a man who says that Jill 2.0 is “not the same person I married or that I recognize in any way.”

“Fat liberation” and “representation” used to mean liberating fat from your body so it wouldn’t be overrepresented there anymore and you could fit into last year’s swimsuit. Now it’s the business of a new breed of activists, one of whom was just hired by Pennsylvania State University to teach students about, among other things, “fat representation and liberation.”

“I think there is a lot of voter fraud.” So said then-NYC election commissioner, Democrat Alan Schulkin, on hidden video in 2016. Much has changed in the Empire State since that time, however:
Going high tech, it’s now being reported that a vote-fraud-enabling algorithm has been added to NY’s voter registration roll.
There’s news on the low-tech electoral-fraud front, too: 49 states are giving voter registration forms to migrants without proof of citizenship, we’re told.

“A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle,” goes the notorious feminist proclamation. Yet revelation, reason, and science inform that this isn’t true for those very little women, and little men, known as children. Nor is it true of the grown women who raise children. Moreover, research illustrates dads’ importance with a finding that will seem counterintuitive to many: Single fathers actually have better parenting outcomes than do single mothers. (More on that later.)

It was just six years ago that then-German chancellor Angela Merkel, a main author of 2015’s Third World migration wave into Europe, admitted that “no-go zones” do exist on her continent. It was just last year, at age 100, that late intellectual Henry Kissinger confessed that allowing such immigration into Germany was “a grave mistake.” Whether or not occurring to one now is the apropos saying “We grow too soon old and too late smart,” for sure is that Kissinger’s observation is vindicated by a story currently being reported:
Immigrants, mainly Muslim, are overwhelming and disrupting German schools.

“A government big enough to give you everything you want,” goes a paraphrase of an apocryphal saying, “is big enough to take everything you’ve got.”
This includes too many free minutes.
As to this, we’ve all probably had the kind of experience commentator Kevin R. Kosar describes in an article recently featured on MSN.com. In “Our nanny state and the loss of everyday freedom,” Kosar details how he spent hours trying to help his teen son obtain a learner’s permit; this ordeal included being told, upon arrival at the DMV, that a passport was not acceptable identification. You can read all the excruciating minutiae here if interested, but his larger point is this:
It’s not hard to understand why Caitlin Clark, the record-setting white ex-NCAA women’s basketball standout, is enjoying attention and endorsements like no WNBA player before her. And, no, it’s not because of (mythical) “white privilege.”

Beauty and the beast…. We invariably know which is which.
But should we be able to?
And if we will always be capable of discerning the difference (hard to imagine otherwise), will we ever value ugliness as much as beauty?
Some activists apparently want us to. Yet just as with the fat-liberation movement and so many other social phenomena today, is this just another attack on objective reality, or at least on ideals?

Five years ago already, in 2019, Joe Biden appeared to forget Barack Obama’s name during a campaign town hall meeting. That would be the Barack Obama whom Biden worked under for eight years, the Obama he once famously said was the “first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” Yet a half a decade later Joe is still out there, functioning — sort of.
Oh, he’s mumbling and stumbling and fumbling for facts, but he’s out there. It’s just amazing what you can accomplish, many may conclude, with the absolute best medical care. And now ex-White House physician Ronny Jackson, M.D., who served under three presidents, has weighed in on how this medical miracle is worked.

That senior citizens support Republicans while young Americans vote for Democrats by wide margins is one of those old truisms in politics.
Or is it?
Shockingly to many, polls show that Joe Biden is bleeding support among Gen Z (those born after 1996). What’s more, they also find that he’s doing better among seniors than most Democrats do.
In addition, if a couple of Gen Zers interviewed recently by Fox News are any indication, some of these young people are getting “red-pilled”: They’re waking up to and are disgusted by the left-wing propaganda they’ve been fed.
