(On Dr Biden)
snip-"Jill Biden has appeared for a while to be running the show and, therefore, the country though I dont recall seeing her name on the 2020 ballot. Its clear she is pushing her husband to stay in the race, probably not eager to retreat to Delaware with a man whose years have caught up with him. It happens. Age sweeps in the front door and, faster than you can say Scranton, turns a previously vigorous, intelligent person into a stranger content to watch dust particles do the hokey pokey in a shaft of sunlight."
(On President Biden & VP Harris)
snip-"Biden, as nearly everyone has noted, couldnt form intelligible sentences. At times, he entered the stare zone where the brain searches desperately for a GPS to tell him where he is. As Ive written during the past 3½ years, it was painful to watch. Almost as painful as listening to Kamala D. Harris try to ground her thoughts in sentences. Most of the time, she sounds as though shes leading a séance. A speech she gave at Howard University last year makes the point:
So I think its very important as you have heard from so many incredible leaders for us, at every moment in time, and certainly this one, to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present, and to be able to contextualize it, to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past, but the future, she said-ish.
A four-minute, viral video recently in circulation on X shows her repeating a phrase that she seems to like a lot in numerous settings. I didnt count the number of times she said some variation of what can be, unburdened by what has been, in those four minutes, but the woman gets credit for being able to inject dramatic earnestness into words of which even she, surely, has wearied."
More there.
Bitter woman she is

She is syndicated--writes opinion pieces for papers all over... Not a WAPO "hire"

Kathleen Parker is nothing more than an over the hill right wing mouthpiece trying to stay relevant.
