peggy Noonan wrote in the WSJ that Bidens' Georgia speech will be cited as a turning point when historians give their reasons why his Administration finally collapsed. If you are interested, read. If you are not interested, you are not a serious political devotee. Even honest Democrats are horrified...And, while honest Democrats make up a minority of their brethren, the die has been cast. Look for the long knives to become drawn.

Today was a historic day, the bottom fell out of this illegitimate Biden regime. The last thing they have left is to use the surveillance state to intimidate and go after suspected "domestic terrorists".

Just one of many times Peggy Noonan will be remembered as wrong.

You and htp1 acting as a tag-team is very sad and becoming LOL-funny at the same time. Are you two trying
to convince each other......of what?

BTW: I sometimes read the comments to stories on FOX-news. I learn much more from folks who may or
may not be highly educated than I do from you two.

Peggy Noonan on George W Bush in 2003


Quote:

"This, truly, is a good man ... there can be no doubting the depth of his seriousness and the degree to which he attempts to do what he is convinced is right and to lead his country to toward that vision of rightness.... There is a profound authenticity to him, and a fearlessness too. A steady hand on the helm in high seas, a knowledge of where we must go and why, a resolve to achieve safe harbor."

As far as Biden is concerned, she's completely nailed it.

Go ahead and attack the "messenger".
But that's you deflecting (once again) from what is actually going on.

He's suffered one defeat after another because he doesnt show any ability to pivot to the center. When Bill Clinton found himself taking a hit in the polls, he'd find the "center" and chase it. Sadly, I dont think that Biden is even able to identify where the "center" is. He's shown zero ability to pivot. - - - Independents are now at a 57% Disapproval Rating.
That's reality. And that doesnt bode well for mid-terms.

Noonan is spot-on when it comes to identifying the sentiment of America.

Meanwhile, ideological speeches lose a lot of their steam when you have an Administration that is unable to "execute" on a nuts and bolts level that the average American can see and feel.

Biden's Administration was caught off-guard by the Omicron surge and has taken forever to get test kits distributed. The average American is still getting crushed by inflation and supply/chain issues. Seriously, I have no idea what Pete Buttigieg or Kamala Harris are working on. If Buttigieg is working on trying to retain truck drivers, he's failing. He doesnt seem to understand that they're quitting because they dont get paid while waiting 3 to 4 hours getting their truck loaded.

Have you been to your local grocery store lately? There are shelves are bare. Meanwhile, school districts are in total chaos trying to deal with teacher's unions that dont feel safe because the school district's are once again unprepared. That's what the average American is dealing with every day. $5 gas. Empty shelves. And not know if their kids will be back in the classroom.

That's what they'll remember come mid-terms.

Last time I looked Noonan was getting her ass handed to her from all sides for suggesting that the then Vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris was not serious about the election after posting herself dancing in the rain. Noonan is a relic in her thought process and that is why she is no longer taken seriously.

OK, but what do you think about her arguments? Assume your favorite liberal writer wrote it. Which parts do you disagree with?

I am not sure this is the turning point (seems more like a slow death by thousand cuts), but this reflects just the tone deaf nature of this administration that they would make a speech like that when people are struggling with lack of supplies and high prices as well as fear of school shutdown and high infection rate, especially when we were rooting for him against Trump because he would avoid all of the inflammatory, divisive rhetoric. But this administration has been tripping over itself from the beginning to the point that we are almost at the Ford level of respect for his ability to look competent.

Now that does not mean I would prefer Trump. I hate him with a passion for his utter disregard for this country in favor of his own ego and interest. But I can disapprove of two things at once and hope that we could get a decent leader of our country.

This Ms. Noonan's column from yesterday. Perhaps htp1 is referencing another....in which case Neve Mind

The Endless Loop of Covid-19 Peggy Noonan

I need more time to analyze it, but on a quick read => a well-earned slap on the wrist=>
The sky is NOT falling.

She's totally nailed who Harris is . . . someone that isnt interested in actual policy. Her advisors try and prep her with briefing materials, but she's not interested. That's why several of her staffers have already left.

"Her real problems look more like this: She loves the politics of politics too much, and not the meaning. When people meet with her they come away saying that what she cares about is the politics of the issue, not the issue itself. But even as she's obsessed with the game of national politics she's not so far particularly good at it. When she sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, she spectacularly flamed out."

Democrats watch Fox News, that's why their ratings are so high.

Remember when our Vice President, Kamala Harris went on (of all things) a fact-finding mission to Guatemala and Mexico last June to find out what the root causes of illegal immigration were?

I dont think you even have to be a CAL GRAD to figure out the answer, sans the trip.

Peggy Noonan remarked:

"There is no one in America, including immigrants, who doesn't know the root causes of illegal immigration. They're coming for a better life. America has jobs, a social safety net, public sympathy for the underdog. Something good might happen to you here. Nothing good was going to happen at home.

That's why immigrants have always come.
Studying "root causes" is a way of saying you want to look busy while you do nothing."

Biden asked whether lawmakers wanted "to be the side of Dr. King or George Wallace," "John Lewis or Bull Connor" or "Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis."

Joe apparently didn't realize that Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin had chosen column B

Because if he did it's a pantomine speech which loses him credibility as a leader, especially when they ignore him a day later. He may have done it to appease his base but it's still a poor look. He comes across as clueless.

Really? Do you think anybody changed their minds about Biden based on that speech or actions taken a day later? He knew what Manchin and Sinema were going to do. Biden staked his place for history to know as we embark on our journey of minority rule.

Staked his place in history? No, this wasn't I had a dream material. And a day later he walked back the language saying they weren't making "human comparisons." Whatever that means. The speech failed on both leadership and rhetorical levels.

I don't think people follow this that closely. The take is he made a speech asking for something and then lost. It then joined a larger narrative about his very bad week.
