#Politics From #LATimes culture columnist and critic Mary McNamara:
"Of course, should #Biden remain in the race, Clooney will have handed #Trump a campaign ad that no money could buy."
"... all those people who claim to want to defeat Trump and preserve democracy are going to have to stop calling for Biden’s ouster and rally the hell around him."
#Politics Unlike the cowardly #NYTimes, the #LATimes editorial board just put the focus where it belongs:
"It’s unbelievable that the nation is spending so much time on the question of Biden’s verbal acuity, when the greatest concern ought to be that his challenger is a self-aggrandizing felon and twice-impeached election-denier."

#Politics #NYTimes editorial board publishes op-ed, "Donald #Trump is unfit to lead." But they don't call for him to drop out; instead they call for voters to reject him.
The Times, meanwhile, continues to beat the drum for #Biden to drop out.
So the electorate can decide about #Trump but not #Biden?! More hypocrisy from the NYT.
I'm glad I cancelled my NYT subscription this morning.

#Politics President #Biden yesterday at the AFL-CIO, which reaffirmed their endorsement of him. #MSNBC #Lawrence presented his speech in its entirety, which you didn't see elsewhere -- because, y'know, he didn't talk about sharks or electrocution.
At the 10:00 minute mark if the link doesn't take you there.
#Politics I don't have a #CNN subscription to cancel. Otherwise I would. This morning's nonsense:
"Biden is facing the most high-pressure presidential news conference in modern history"
Really?! What would you call Nixon's "I am not a crook" presser?! Trump's "inject bleach" presser?!
Is it really front-page material that George Clooney wrote an op-end column?!
#Politics I just cancelled my #NYTimes subscription. I wrote in the comments:
"You have created an artificial crisis with President #Biden, driving hysteria, thinking it will sell papers and generate clickbait. You have ignored the cognitive decline of candidate #Trump. The NYT is an embarassment to its history. I'll come back when you start acting like a real newspaper again."
#Politics From #TheHill: #NBCNews anchor Lester Holt will record an interview with President #Biden Monday in Austin, Texas. The interview will air Monday night at 9 PM EDT.

#Politics President #Biden speaking earlier this evening at the #NATO summit. Go to the 14-minute mark if the link doesn't take you there.
(Kinda odd selection, playing "Dances with Wolves" at the beginning of the event. 🤔 )

#Politics "Snowball" Senator James Inhofe dies at age 89. Inhofe infamously denied climate change by bringing a snowball on to the Senate floor.
#Politics Last night's #MSNBC #Lawrence debunked the hysteria about the neurologist's monthly visits to the #Biden White House. Turns out it's a regularly scheduled visit to service military personnel stationed there.
The #Trump White House, in comparison, never released medical records or the visitor log.
#Politics From #CNN: President #Biden sent a letter to congressional Democrats telling them he's staying in the presidential race. So nyah.
