Althouse discovers The saddest, loneliest Althouse blog tag: "Biden the healer." "I went back today, looking for "Biden the healer" in my archive, because I've been thinking how much better Biden might be doing — and, more importantly, how much better this country might be doing — if Biden had followed the path of healing — of bringing us together. But Biden was and is a divider. Maybe January 6th was too much of a temptation, such great raw material for tearing us apart. He could have said — like Lincoln — "with malice toward none, with charity for all" and forgiven everyone involved and called upon all of us — on his side and the other side — to "bind up the nation's wounds." But he didn't do it. And now it's too late."

Vicky Taft at PJM tells us Don't Laugh: Here's How Joe Could Pull Off a 'Heroic' Escape from the Brutal 2024 Campaign. "Here's the answer that would please everyone. Assuming Hunter's cases really go to trial — a big if — Joe would pardon Hunter, who then wouldn't go to prison, and since that pardon would be a presidential abuse of power, Joe would take the political L and resign. It would be a win-win. No one involved in politics would be sorry to see him go."

Morris Reportedly Protected by CIA in Hunter Biden Investigation. "It is a testament to the level of bias in the mainstream media that this story is not the sole focus of every media outlet in America. Imagine if the CIA intervened to stop an investigation into a donor maintaining one of the Trump children and supporting his effort to blunt any investigation into corruption. MSNBC would make it ongoing special programming with its own time slot." Capt. Ed at Hat Hair adds "Maybe, but the true testament to mainstream-media bias was in the performative manner in which "news" outlets declared their refusal to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story in October 2020. The same media outlets that went nuts over the Steele dossier's compilation of bad gossip about "pee tapes" and Trump earlier sniffed that the laptop story was beneath their dignity and reportorial threshold. It's corruption, through and through, and it's not just at the CIA and DoJ."

Ed opines "This isn't just a lesson about Iran but also about all malign states and non-state actors. Strength deters, and weakness provokes. Reagan knew this, although he forgot on occasion, such as in Lebanon in the early 1980s. Joe Biden has allowed weakness to become almost irresistibly provocative and Israel is paying the price for it. Arguably, so is Ukraine. The only people who haven't learned the lesson are the people in the Biden administration."
