President Biden has engaged in fewer press conferences and media interviews than any of the last seven presidents at this point in their terms, according to an analysis from presidential scholar Martha Joynt Kumar.

Only President to be a convicted Felon worst president in history =trump.

Who cares about Biden. He’s gone and likely will be joining Jimmy Carter in the not to distant future.

It was bad when Regan did it , this time it will be a disastrous

Following Wednesday’s plane crash, Trump shifted the blame for the tragedy to a number of figures, including previous administrations, claiming: “I put safety first. Obama, Biden, and the Democrats put policy first.”


Note he did nothing the 4 years he was in to change it. Another trump lie.

Michigan Rep. Laurie Pohutsky, a Democrat who revealed she underwent voluntary sterilization because of concerns over contraception access under Republican President Donald Trump

Totally normal amirite? Not a cult. Whats her daily intake of antidepressants and anxiety medication?

3rd wave of feminism has led to this, young woman more depressed and on medication than any other point in time. And the biggest lie with no data in support, single woman are more happy than married and/or without kids.

Being the boards resident neocon, I thought I'd post this article. A good read.

"The neocons were right"
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opini...4119f68e&ei=26

"......Another important truth the neocons learned from the ’60s is that you can’t separate policy making from moral character. The political scientist James Q. Wilson put it this way in The Public Interest in 1985: “The most important change in how one defines the public interest that I have witnessed—and experienced—over the last twenty years has been a deepening concern for the development of character in the citizenry.”......

...The first big lesson of neoconservatism is that character is destiny. That lesson applies whether you’re talking about the character of a leader, an organization, or a nation. If you disregard truth—as many Republicans plainly do these days—you will wind up in some pretty ugly places.

If you want to improve the character of a nation or an organization, you have to change its culture so that it nurtures basic decency. Which leads to the second lesson of neoconservatism: The most important values in a democratic society are the pedestrian bourgeois virtues. Aristocratic societies may do better at inspiring heroism, genius, love of honor. But democratic societies rely on showing up on time, working hard, being there for your neighbor, listening with curiosity, respecting traditions....."

Good article, but what actually happened to neocons was weapons of mass destruction and not stopping the Bill Clinton housing policies which lead to financial crisis 2008, which they easily could have done. Instead they allowed that policy too continue.

While it’s easy to point at the failed legislation like Obamacare ACA….gotta do the same with Bush.
