Joe Biden spent roughly three of his four years in the White House trying to sell Americans his view of his presidency: An economy that was roaring back to normal after the Covid crash, and a country once again respected on the world stage, helmed by a president just as spry and fit for duty as his opponent.

In the end, voters did not believe him. A disastrous debate with Donald Trump blew the door open for speculation about his mental faculties, while consumers still felt squeezed by high prices on gasoline and post-pandemic inflation and cost hikes on other commodities that stretched their paychecks thinner than in years past.

Now, his predecessor faces a very similar scenario, argues John Bowden.

The move marks the latest step in the Trump administration’s intensifying efforts to combat drug trafficking into the United States.

The president was again bragging about his poll numbers over the weekend, despite some recent surveys showing his approval rating is at its lowest point since his second term began.

Here’s Katie Hawkinson to take a closer look at the data.

The Georgia Republican congresswoman, long considered a MAGA loyalist and Trump cheerleader in chief, has increasingly broken with the president this year, over everything from Ukraine to healthcare and Jeffrey Epstein, and on Friday announced her intention to step down in January.

Here’s Katie Hawkinson on what the future might hold for the reformed (?) conspiracy theorist.

The president appears to be up before 6am ET and is already posting, following up some armchair NFL punditry with speculation about an end to the war in Ukraine, which would indeed be a momentous event should it come to pass.

This is what the president had to say about his Ukrainian counterpart over the weekend, whom he has given until Thursday to respond to his proposals.

This is what our own Dave Brown makes of it all, borrowing from James Gillray’s “The Plumb-Pudding in Danger.”
