The Permanently Unpopular President, NYT Afraid of Mayra Flores, Biden Sells Our Oil to China, Twitter Sale on the Rocks

Dave Catanese argues that low Presidential popularity isn't Joe fault. It's us. The Permanent Unpopularity of the American President, "A president struggling around 40% isn't a Biden problem. It's the new normal."   Some truth here, but if we had better Presidents... At Town Hall, Kurt Schlichter is just enjoying the moment, Dems Feel the Agony of Defeat – and It's Awesome. At WSJ, (cited sparingly at Haut Hair) Karl Rove admires Biden's six-misstep midterm strategy.

As many people have already pointed out, the first American census in 1790 found that Virginia, then the most populous state, was home to around 20 percent of the population. Today, California, our largest state, makes up around 12 percent of the nation’s population. No one complained about the disparity of the Senate in 1790 — or, as far as I know, 1890 or 1990, for that matter — because the “imbalance” was literally codified in the founding document (which, incidentally, mentions “democracy” zero times).

Very scary
