A thoughtful lead for mankind could lie in world-brotherhood and 'family.
But nah... as sharing would be involved...
only I can get really rich. Things taught little earlier got lost...
Am seeing some very strange rumors online about Joe Biden's health. Some credible reporters are starting to post things and ask questions. Joe hasn't been seen in public in five days...
And there are rumors on the internet so that youâre insinuating something nefarious is afoot?
Iâm shocked!

Itâs a good test to see how someone like Biden can stand up against a bullying lying opponent. Apparently, not very well. And thereâs no way weâre going to assume that leaders of other countries are going to kowtow to him so it is, as we feared, a set up for failure in negotiation. Even though he might have âa cold.â
Biden held his own during the first debate with Trump in 2020. That was the one where Joe yelled, "Would you shut up, man?!?"
Trump tried the same bulldozing tactic in 2020. Chris Christie coached him for that debate to keep interrupting Joe in order to get him to stammer. That debate was largely a standoff. Someone on CNN I think called it "a shitshow" right after it ended.
Joe was just worn out in '24. Granted he had a grueling schedule but what made me wish for his withdrawal were clips from the '24 debate, the fact that he'd had a week at Camp David to prepare and the stark contrast of his performance against Trump with that against Paul Ryan in 2012:
Yes, he's 12 years older. But I think Joe is dealing with a neurological issue...maybe something like Parkinson's.
Joe is a damned good man and for my money a damned good president. He just ran out of gas. Even in his present state, however, he's far more lucid, intelligent and sane than Trump.
Thanks for thisâeither I'd forgotten or never knew.
But you then have to ask: why have the debate at all if the only fact-checking occurs after the debate when most people have tuned out? A debate without fact-checking or consequences for lying turns into garbage attempts at shocking and smearing people. It's all spectacle and no substanceâgreat for Trump because that pretty much defines him but horrible for the country's attempt to choose a leader.
Maybe it's possible to Gish-gallop Trump more than he does it to his opponent. But at that point, we're pretty damn near complete Idiocracy.

I just sent an email to President Biden, thanking him for his service to this nation.
That's very kind of you, Antigone. I was just reading in the newspaper today that Joe felt under-appreciated and patronized by people in his own party. His decision has to be a bitter pill for him to swallow.
