I'm sure bookstores are going to be reinforcing their remainder tables

"Critics cast doubt on Biden's claims he personally wrote upcoming memoir".

Frankly, I don't think Biden can either write, or pronounce, the word "memoir".

Btw, did Biden ever get anybody to contribute to his presidential library? I still think he ought to settle for putting up one of those front-yard "little libraries" at his home in Delaware.

Another dangerous trend that conservatives should be watching

And perhaps emulating? "Trained to Nullify: How Civil Resistance Tactics Are Reaching American Juries".

Roy Cooper, 24-karat phony

Roy Cooper is the former Democrat governor of North Carolina, and he's running for Senate. His folksy front and clean look have enabled him to pass himself off as a moderate. But he's really just a go-along leftist with a southern drawl. His campaign ads appear on probably 75% of the YouTube videos I watch, and they are bland and non-controversial. In one ad, he sets up a total strawman of an issue - defunding the police - and says he's against it, because "I want to keep everyone safe"; however, defunding the police was never a significant movement in North Carolina. He might as well declaim against the abolition of barbecue. In another, he brags about taking on "the big insurance companies", a boast that is not, so far as I can tell, substantiated by any material results. Cooper was worse than useless during COVID, and he was the little man who wasn't there when Hurricane Helene caused massive flooding in the western part of the state in September of 2024, although the donks are trying to blame emergency management problems on Trump and, by extension, on Cooper's Republican opponent, Michael Whatley. At this point, permit me to point out that Trump didn't take office until four months after Helene. People were literally trying to survive in tents and in their cars for months after the storm, in cold weather, and some emergency personnel were actually informed that they should give Trump supporters secondary priority. I don't recollect hearing a peep from Cooper.

Anyhow, right now it appears to be Cooper's squishiness on border control that is causing him some trouble in the polls: "Roy Cooper's Legacy of 'Death by Illegal Alien' Rears Its Ugly Head Again".

We need to defeat this guy. If elected, I guarantee he'll fall in line with every preposterous Democrat policy prescription and every attempt to expand federal intrusiveness into our lives.

Democratic institutions do not fail simply because people in government lie and cheat

They fail when the liars and cheaters routinely escape justice: "Straight to Jail, Jack Smith, Straight to Jail".

I would love to see "General Zod" do time, and I will keep a good thought, but I am not optimistic.

The UK's death wish

Among the many official institutions in the UK that are working tirelessly to destroy western culture, and embrace anti-Semitism, to boot, the Anglican Church holds pride of place: "The unfathomable darkness of the Church of England".

The Church of England is accelerating its descent into a terrible moral and spiritual darkness.
Yesterday, the Synod decided to “hear,” or engage with, a spittle-flecked document that demonises the State of Israel with vicious falsehoods and distortions, tries to to rob Jewish people of their historic identity and seeks to destroy Judaism itself as the religion rooted in the land of Israel.

King Charles II once famously said that Presbyterianism was no religion for a gentleman. It is less well known that he also opined that the Church of England was no religion for a Christian.
