Flotsam and Jetsam - Biden's Late, Long Goodbye

The reviews are in on Joe Biden's last, late, long speech at the DNC convention. Stacy McCain, DNC Debacle on Opening Night: Biden Pushed Out of Prime Time as Disorganized Convention Schedule Runs Overtime. "What a disaster!" At PJM, Vicky Taft says Joe Biden Officially Bends the Knee, VodkaPundit issues My Fondless Farewell to the Worst Human Being to Serve as President, Stephen Kruiser called it The Final Ride of Adderall Joe, and Matt Margolis is on Democrat Civil War Watch: Biden's Revenge Is Coming. From NYPo, Dems bury an angry, shouting Joe Biden at 11:30 p.m. in final disgrace. Nick Arama at RedState says the Biden DNC Speech Is a Historic Trainwreck - With a Slurring, Stumbling, Screaming Speech Full of Lies, in other words, vintage Joe. Also, Reports Biden Team Unhappy With How He Was Treated - and There's Talk of 'Revenge'. Hat Hair retitles Scott Johnson at Power Line, Joe Biden, WOAT? Capt. Ed kibbitzes, "Certainly the worst president of my lifetime, and I lived through the Jimmy Carter administration. In fact, there are a number of parallels between the two, except Carter wasn't corrupt. As for WOAT, there are a few 19th-century presidents that remain in hot competition for that title. Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan are probably better choices, but not by much." At the Freep, A Vanishing Biden Reappears at the DNC "He declared he was ‘too young to be in the Senate and too old to stay as president.’ It was sad and unnervingly true." Capt. Ed, "The DNC couldn't prevent him from speaking. But they certainly made sure that most of the viewing audience had tuned out first ..." At At Hat Hair, Dave Strom writes Unburdened By Shame, Anything Is Possible, and  Larry sees a DNC Humiliation Ritual: Biden Banished, Liberal Wickedness on Full Display! Reagan Reese at Da Caller, Democrats Shove Biden Out Of DNC Primetime For Last Gasp Of Presidency. Anxious anxiously reports from Behind the Curtain: Biden's bitter, sweet exit.

Ed, "Not. Even. Satire." The Babylon Bee@TheBabylonBee "'I'm Not Dead Yet!' Insists Biden As He's Loaded Onto Cart Of Corpses https://buff.ly/4fSV236."

Not uncoincidentally, hours before his speech, House Republicans on the Oversight Committee issued a report on their investigation of Biden corruption. At NYPo Josh Christenson and Steven Nelson reports Biden accused of abuse of power, obstruction in blistering House Republican impeachment report hours before his DNC speech and Andy McCarthy notes the Damning impeachment report shows why Dems were desperate to get rid of corrupt Biden. Margot Cleveland thinks Ignoring Joe Biden’s Corruption Tells The World America Is Corrupt. Ace, House Report: Despite the Lies of Biden and His Marxist Media Defenders, He Did Change Ukraine Policy to Help Hunter's "Business" Partners, "I shan't believe such a thing. I simply shannot." At WaEx, predictably, White House denounces Biden impeachment report: ‘Failed stunt’. 

Ben Domenech at Spec World sees A Joe Biden convention with Kamala Harris layered over it "The way the DNC is depicted in mass media versus the way it feels in practical terms is astonishing."

DNC Asks Food Vendors To ‘Prioritize Lower-Emission Meats’. Just eat the damn bugs already! Da Caller, DNC Attendees To Encounter Mobile Billboards Slamming Biden’s Green Energy Spending Blitz. From Da Fetched, Jamie Raskin Tells DNC: ‘Republicans Could Try to Kill JD Vance’.

From Reason, If Joe Biden Saved the Economy, Why Do We Need Kamala Harris' Price Controls?

Fox Business, U.S. economists list top election issues: NABE "The national debt stands at over $35T: U.S. Treasury Department." Tom Knighton at TAW, Maybe Harris avoiding policy discussions was the wiser course. Althouse, "A campaign has been constructed around a mood, rather than the other way around. The mood is Obamacore..." At WokeSpy, Kamala Harris’ Proposed Platform Will Open Floodgates To Illegal Aliens Insty, HOW’S THAT RETURN TO NORMALCY GOING?  From the Wombat's  In The Mailbox: 08.20.24, Louder With Crowder: Cringe Queen Kamala returns in glorious fashion, shows why they try to hide her from humans.

Paul Bedard at WaEx, Kam-ugh-la: Voters aren’t wowed by Harris, not the ‘best’. Ben Whedon at JTN reports Polling showing Harris in lead flagged by industry experts for voter samples "“So what they're doing is they're polling fewer Republicans. They're polling a disproportionate number of Biden 2020 voters in these states that were dead even,” pollster John McLaughlin said. There does not to be any consensus on any polls' accuracy." Neil McCabe at RedState cites a Swiss Political Scientist  who Says Voters Lying to Pollsters Created Harris Poll Surge. Ace, House Democrats in Tight Races Are Skipping the Convention, Apparently Not Believing the Hype About the "Joy" Kamala Brings to the Race. "But... but... the joy! The sudden coordinated enthusiasm!"

Capt. Ed, Is Kamala Scared to Debate Trump on Fox? Yep. Leah Barkoukis at TownHall, Trump Shares Debate Update He Received From Harris's Campaign “Comrade Kamala Harris has just informed us that she will NOT do the FoxNews Debate on September 4th,” Trump said on Truth Social. “I am not surprised by this development because I feel that she knows it is very difficult, at best, for her to defend her record setting Flip-Flopping on absolutely everything she once believed in, including her statements that THERE WILL BE NO FRACKING IN PENNSYLVANIA and her HORRIBLE Performance on the Border, our ‘Border Czar,’ where millions of criminals and people from mental institutions and terrorists, have been allowed to pour into our Country, totally unchecked and unvetted. It’s called, and she LOVES IT, an OPEN BORDER!!!”"

John Sexton reports As Expected, Columbia Gave Student Protesters a Pass. Insty, WELL, YALE’S BRAND HASN’T BEEN ABOUT INTEGRITY FOR A WHILE: "Jesse Singal: Yale’s “Integrity Project” Is Spreading Misinformation About The Cass Review And Youth Gender Medicine. Part 1 of a two-parter that is not going to increase your faith in highly credentialed experts. “McNamara et al. is an exceptionally misleading, confused, and fundamentally unprofessional document. The authors make objectively false claims about the content of the Cass Review, badly misrepresent the present state of the evidence for youth gender medicine, and, just as alarmingly, exhibit a complete lack of familiarity with the basic precepts and purposes of evidence-based medicine. In some cases, the errors are so strange and disconnected from the Cass Review that they can only, realistically speaking, be attributed to malice, a severe lack of curiosity and reading comprehension, or both. This might sound harsh, but you’ll see what I mean shortly. It is genuinely surprising that any of the co-authors would agree to put their names on a document like this.”" From WokeSpy, Woke Woman Wanted to Jump Out Window to Escape “Racist” Matt Walsh. Libs of TikTok@libsoftiktok, "BREAKING: Police report from when Matt Walsh went undercover for his “Am I Racist” movie. The anti-racists called the police on him when they realized who he was. One of them told police she considered using a chair to break a window and escape because she felt unsafe in his presence and he’s “extreme” and has “radical views.” You can’t make this up."
