By contrast with Peggy Noonan, to take a prominent example, Gerard Baker provides an unillusioned assessment of President Biden and Vice President Harris in his Wall Street Journal column “Biden Emerges as Progressive Government’s Mr. Bad Example.” There is no false hope, no sentimentality, no uplift, no gush or mush in his evaluation:
It’s not too harsh a judgment to say that this is a man who has risen to the top of American public life without a trace of accomplishment. When you’ve been in national politics for almost 50 years, you ought to have achieved something, if only by accident. But this journeyman politician, when he wasn’t getting almost all the big issues wrong, was largely a bystander. He is now a husk of a leader, a dangerously debilitated figure, who oscillates between displays of vacuous incoherence and weird, angry outbursts, like a confused old man at the wrong bus stop.
Meanwhile, a heartbeat and a spine-chilling cackle away from the presidency, is another living rebuke to the idea that government is virtuous and wise. Vice President Kamala Harris has demonstrated, evidently to the alarm of much of her own staff, that she is simply another of Mr. Biden’s many mistakes—perhaps the biggest one yet. It is a dismaying state of affairs that we must all pray nightly for the continued health of an inept president to avert the calamity of a worse one.
That is a bullseye.
Sharing on FB! Excellent!
joe is the fall guy
that Biden in short that Biden in brief in spite of the strides of alimentation and defecation is seen to waste and pine waste and pine…
Signed, a knuckle dragging troglodyte
Must read. Two paragraphs that capture exactly where we find ourselves as a nation. Failed, incompetent leadership. Elections have consequences, stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.
Our nation is the fall guy.
Let’s Go Brandon!!

Mr. Thompson, the Head of the State, was a man who possessed the quality of never being noticed. In any group of three, his person became indistinguishable, and when seen alone it seemed to evoke a group of its own, composed of the countless persons he resembled. The country had no clear image of what he looked like: his photographs had appeared on the covers of magazines as frequently as those of his predecessors in office, but people could never be quite certain which photographs were his and which were pictures of “a mail clerk” or “a white-collar worker,” accompanying articles about the daily life of the undifferentiated—except that Mr. Thompson’s collars were usually wilted.

I guess it ‘depends’ upon who you ask.......
Well put.
in the words of Rick Rule, Biden’s record is unblemished by success.
Then we must all pray nightly for the continued health of a worse president to avert the calamity of a still much worse former Speaker of the House president.
And so on, as long as the next in the line of succession is a democrat or a RINO.
Xiden strikes me as a man who has relentlessly thrown himself in from of parades in the desperate hope that he would be mistaken for the maestro.
Biden could have chosen The Elf On The Shelf & done better.
“That is a bullseye.”
“Bullseye” doesn’t fully capture the effect of that opinion. I’d call more of a zero CEP nuclear groundburst that ensures maximum hazardous fallout to those nearby.
