You might not know it—and Democrats would prefer you didn’t—but Joe Biden is still president, with 5½ months to go. Republicans would be foolish to overlook his agenda and substantial power to gild Kamala Harris’s path to the White House.
Not that Mr. Biden will be giving many speeches on her behalf. His gifts will be transactional, the buying of constituencies. The latest example: Mr. Biden’s embrace this week of the most destructive assault on the Supreme Court since FDR’s court-packing scheme. Ms. Harris quickly signed on to Mr. Biden’s call for term limits and an “enforceable” ethics code, winning applause from progressive activists.
It’s only the start. The White House—unable to campaign on an inflation-ridden economy, a chaotic border, persistent crime or a disordered world—last year laid out its fallback strategy: It would hand out dishes of red meat to core constituencies. What was already a polished Biden re-election plan is now a gift to Kamala—and may even be worth more than his campaign-dollar war chest. The administration is throwing open its toolbox of policy promises, handouts, regulatory crackdowns and “walking around” money to earn chits, gratitude and ultimately votes. Remember the furor when Mr. Trump’s name showed up on those election-year Covid checks? That’s infant’s play.
The “Biden-Harris administration” this week announced “the next step” in its sweeping student-loan giveaway, with guidance emailed to millions of debtors to skate out of billions. The week before Mr. Biden’s withdrawal, his team rolled out a radical plan for nationwide rent control—threatening to strip landlords of tax breaks if they don’t cap rent increases. It’s a lure to millions of American voters struggling with mortgage and rent escalations.
News dropped Wednesday that military prosecutors agreed to a plea deal of life imprisonment for three odious 9/11 terrorists, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

One of the points that DJT should be hammering is if The Big Guy is unfit to run for election....how can he possibly be fit to be President?
Wait until property taxes, repairs, maintenance costs make running a rental impossible for landlords if they cannot raise rents to accomodate ... and those properties are removed from the market. Your rent will be $0 as you'll have no place to live.
Idiots.
Lame confused duck.
[Biden: Forgotten but Not Gone]
I have to admit - that title made me snicker a little bit
An S&P 20% crash with $5,000 gold and 5% unemployment won’t be very nice “gifts.”
Is anyone else not complete buying that Kammeroo will be selected at the DNC on the 19th?
Who???
Apparently the government is self function..?
Apparently the government is self functioning..?
I still believe that ANYTHING is possible - with Rats.
Biden still has all the votes. He hasn’t freed delegates publicly. The Rats love a switcheroo. They are just keeping their options open.
Why would he? NOBODY cares. These are Dem voters; they've moved on to Kamalamadingdong.
Will Pedo Pete be making any campaign speeches on Horizontal’s behalf?
The hammering should be over Harris’ knowledge of his infirmities and she says nothing or does nothing about it
That in my opinion is impeachable malfeasance
yup, Autopilot...
I expect a surprise at the Convention. They might stay with Kamala. But could go with Hillary or Michelle. There is a lot of chaos on their side.
Joe WHO???
Notice hes 100% off the radar of all media.
If these Admin and Congress hacks want to control something about the USSC then they’d better hitch up their britches and put through an amendment because that’s what it takes. It’s none of their business how many, how long and how they deliberate and on what. They know this.
It’s all just a diversion from the fact we have a cadaver sitting in the oval office for the next 6 months and an abject idiot waiting in the wings to replace him.
Israel might survive with biden’s remaining 5 months.
