https://nypost.com/2022/07/31/a-democrat-thinks-biden-should-resign-before-the-midterms/ On March 9, 2020, Joe Biden — then the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee — described himself as “a bridge” to a new generation of Democratic leaders who are “the future of this country.” As we approach the halfway point in President Biden’s first term, it’s clear the time has come for him to embrace his place in history as a transitional president and resign gracefully. Biden faces record-low approval ratings, an impending red-wave midterm election, renewed concerns about his physical health and cognitive fitness, a failed domestic agenda with no path forward and glaring foreign-policy mistakes. If Republicans capture Congress, he’ll also face questions he can’t answer on his involvement in his son Hunter’s lucrative foreign business. As a loyal Democrat, I don’t intend to criticize the character or integrity of Biden — for whom I voted on 2012’s ticket — and I recognize his presidency has had a few successes. His administration deserves credit for the rapid distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, which helped pull the country out of the pandemic’s worst days. Biden also signed two bipartisan reforms into law: a significant investment in America’s infrastructure and an unprecedented gun-safety bill. But Biden hasn’t done what he was elected to do: heal America after years of polarization and division. That healing process failed in large measure because of his team’s inability to pursue an inclusive agenda. Biden’s put the Democratic Party on track for a disastrous midterm election. He is widely blamed — and is in fact largely responsible — for the rampant spurt in inflation, which stands at 9.1% overall and 11.3% in wholesale prices, despite his efforts to fingers others such as Russian President Vladimir Putin. There’s a reason Democrats avoid the subject of Biden on the campaign trail — he’s a drag on their electoral chances. Biden’s approval rating just reached a record-low 31%. Nearly two-thirds of Democrats (64%) would prefer he not seek reelection in 2024. The president’s precipitous loss of support — even within his own party — has been driven in large part by voters’ concerns about his age and clear cognitive decline. A majority (53%) of Americans already had doubts about his physical fitness for office before his COVID-19 infection at age 79 renewed worries and yet another verbal gaffe — suggesting he has cancer — sent his communications team into damage control once again. But beyond his physical and mental fitness, Biden’s proven throughout his tenure that he’s unable to effectively lead his party and country, both at home and abroad. The president’s signature piece of legislation — his Build Back Better plan — will go down in history as a fiasco. Biden remained singularly focused on advancing this so-called transformational bill last year, often while ignoring the larger political forces at play vis-à-vis rising inflation, surging crime, the southern-border crisis and frustrations about COVID-19 mandates. And since Build Back Better’s failure, the Biden administration — and national Democrats — has yet to propose a new agenda for the country that is anything more than a knee-jerk reaction to the right’s extreme positions on social issues. Biden’s also been an inadequate commander in chief. Last August, he oversaw US troops’ withdrawal from Afghanistan, which was, simply put, an unmitigated disaster. That embarrassment led America’s allies to question our word, further destabilized the Middle East, gave Putin the reassurance he needed to invade Ukraine and jeopardized Taiwan. Unfortunately, Biden’s recent Middle East trip underscored his inability to project American leadership internationally. He failed to pressure Tehran to slow its nuclear program and secure allies to counter Russia’s and China’s influence in the region. Though Biden acted eerily cordial with the Saudi crown prince, he couldn’t persuade the Saudis to increase their oil production. Biden has clearly lost his ability to govern — just as United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson did. The time has come for Biden to follow Johnson’s lead and step aside. With the revelations about Hunter Biden’s contacts with his vice-president father giving the lie to Joe’s claims he never discussed Hunter’s business, it’s virtually certain there’ll be congressional investigations should Republicans win one or more chambers in November — making it even more difficult for the president to govern effectively. For his party and his country, President Biden should step down before the midterms and give Vice President Kamala Harris a chance to lead. While Harris unquestionably has political vulnerabilities of her own, Biden passing the torch would provide a much-needed shot in the arm for the Democratic Party — which claims to represent Americans of all classes and creeds yet still has three old, white leaders at the helm: Biden, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. As a young person of color — who would be the first female commander-in-chief — a President Harris could help shore up enthusiasm among the Democratic base and bolster the party’s midterm chances, especially given the energy surrounding women’s rights following the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade. And elevating Harris now would have the added benefit of allowing party leaders and activists to assess whether she’s a viable option as the 2024 nominee. President Biden has served America admirably for nearly six decades. Now, as his final act of service to his party and to his country, he should gracefully resign and help usher in a new generation of Democratic leadership. Trouble in the ranks? Or just a part of the plan?

It used to be a scientific FACT that the Earth was flat.......

re·ces·sion /rəˈseSH(ə)n/ noun 1. a period of temporary economic decline during which trade and industrial activity are reduced, generally identified by a fall in GDP in two successive quarters. "the country is in the depths of a recession" https://apnews.com/article/inflation-biden-covid-health-521d7bf2d04f79744c39a1506b6da763 Facing a potentially grim report this week on the economy’s overall health, President Joe Biden wants to convince a skeptical public that the U.S. is not, in fact, heading into a recession. The Commerce Department on Thursday will release new gross domestic product figures. Top forecasts such as the Atlanta Federal Reserve’s GDPNow are predicting that the figure will be negative for the second straight quarter — an informal signal that the country is stuck in a downturn. The White House is disputing that benchmark, but it will likely otherwise prove political chum for Republicans in an election year. “Two negative quarters of GDP growth is not the technical definition of recession,” National Economic adviser Brian Deese insisted during Tuesday’s White House press briefing. He added that “the most important question economically is, whether working people, and middle class families, have more breathing room.” IDK - What do you think?

As SF has been saying since January 2021 - Biden is the WH placeholder until January 2023 when President Harris gets to pick her VP.

'Look, the border is secure,' Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Matorkas insisted during remarks at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado on Tuesday. But he added that the administration is still 'working to make the border more secure.' 'That has been a historic challenge,' Mayorkas said, adding that there is a difference between the words 'safe' and 'secure.' But insistence that the border is secure comes amid a prevailing rise in crossings as well as complaints from New York City and Washington, D.C. that the crisis is finally hitting home after Arizona and Texas starting busing migrants to the city hubs to deal with them. Crossings are at an all-time high at this point in the year with nearly 1.75 million crossings in Fiscal Year 2022 with the release of June figures last week – and there are still three more months left to go before a total roundup for the year is counted. The last quarter's figures show that 200,000 migrants passed through the southern border every month for the last three months.

SF has many years of handgun practice, and being proficient, even I question my ability to engage a rifle shooter with a handgun from 30-40 yards. I guess you never know unless you are actually forced into that situation. All I know is I can hit a target pretty effectively at about 20 - 30 feet, but next time at the range I'll move the target to 40 yards and see if I can even hit the paper........

https://nypost.com/2022/07/17/minneapolis-mom-arabella-foss-yarbrough-who-was-targeted-by-gunman-yells-at-protesters/ A Minneapolis mom could be seen on video confronting Black Lives Matter protesters gathered outside the home of a man who was fatally shot by police after a tense six-hour standoff. The mother, Arabella Foss-Yarbrough, called police last Wednesday night after her neighbor Andrew “Tekle” Sundberg allegedly fired shots into her apartment as she was cooking for her two young children. The gunman was eventually shot dead Thursday morning by two Minneapolis police snipers. A pistol with an extended magazine and several bullet casings was recovered from his apartment. “This is not a George Floyd situation. George Floyd was unarmed. This is not OK,” Foss-Yarbrough was seen yelling at a group of protesters on Saturday. “He tried to kill me in front of my kids.” Photos from inside Foss-Yarbrough’s home show multiple bullet holes in her front door, walls and just above her bathroom sink. Regardless of the circumstances of the shooting, BLM activists — including Trahern Crews, a lead organizer for BLM Minnesota — gathered outside the building on Saturday to demand justice for Sundberg. “We’re here to respect life, demand justice, and we’re demanding the release of the bodycam footage,” Crews chanted, according to the star Tribune. But when Foss-Yarbrough pulled her car up to the building, she unleashed on the protesters, who included Sundberg’s parents. “My kids have to deal with this and probably have a mental illness now because they almost lost their lives,” she said. “There’s bullet holes in my kitchen because he sat in the f–king hallway watching me move. He tried to kill me in front of my kids. “I have black children; I am a woman of color!” Foss-Yarbrough, who is of black, white and Native descent, then yelled. “If I would have lost my life, would you guys do this for me?” “Yes, ma’am,” Crews responded. Minneapolis police said that they are working to release footage of the shooting to the public. The department said there were hundreds of hours of footage from more than 50 officers who responded to the scene. Sundberg’s family said he was having a mental health crisis at the time of the shooting. The 20-year-old shooter was adopted from Ethiopia and had many siblings, according to CBS Minnesota. Sundberg’s parents were outside the building when Foss-Yarbrough confronted the protesters. They said they empathized with their neighbor. “I wish I could wrap my arms around her and tell her I’m so sorry,” Cindy Sundberg said. “I’m so sorry she had to experience that, I’m so sorry for her pain. “Tekle was an imperfect human as we are all imperfect humans and he did not deserve to be picked off like an animal from a rooftop,” his mother said. SF is thinking mental crisis or not, an armed shooter needed shot. A six hour standoff is hardly a racial "murder by cops". (IMHO) Totally agree with miss Arabella Foss-Yarbrough - don't blame the LEO's this time. Also noteworthy - the pictures of the BLM protesters indicate a mostly white crowd.......

WTG Fox 59......SF did not expect to see this headline..... "Good guy with a gun shoots Bad guy with a gun BUT he broke the mall rules........?" https://fox59.com/news/good-samaritan-with-a-gun-stopped-greenwood-park-mall-shooting-went-against-malls-code-of-conduct/ ‘Good Samaritan’ with a gun stopped Greenwood Park Mall shooting, went against mall’s code of conduct GREENWOOD, Ind. — While police are crediting a Bartholomew County man for shooting and killing a suspect in the Greenwood Park Mall shooting, mall policy states he should not have been carrying to begin with. Greenwood Police Chief James Ison confirmed Sunday that the shooter was shot and killed by a man visiting the mall. The Good Samaritan, as police called him, was armed with a handgun. “The real hero of the day was the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in the food court and was able to stop the shooter almost as soon as he began,” Ison said. Police say the 22-year-old from Bartholomew County had a legal gun permit. However, according to mall policy, the man should not have been carrying his handgun in the mall in the first place. Last updated in April 2020, Simon Property Group states in its code of conduct that no weapons are allowed at their shopping centers. The group is the owner of the Greenwood Park Mall. The property group has worked with Greenwood police for several planned security technology upgrades after recent incidents at the mall including two incidents where employees were held at gunpoint in the parking lot. These upgrades include license plate readers installed at mall entrances. Despite not following the mall’s code of conduct, Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers says the man saved lives. We reached out to Simon Properties Sunday evening for a statement about the shooting. A spokesperson declined to comment, instead referring us to Greenwood Police. ALSO - WTF is a "Long-Gun Rifle"? https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/17/us/indiana-greenwood-park-mall-shooting/index.html In the Greenwood mall shooting, the gunman apparently used a long-gun rifle, Ison said, though law enforcement had not immediately recovered any weapons from the scene.
