Closing the tabs …





Ed: Wow. Kudos to Fetterman, who’s proving to be a real mensch. You’d better watch for exploding heads on the Left, though.

What’s fascinating is that President Biden gave his first public remarks since leaving office… and this generated no news media coverage at all. I don’t mean it was downplayed or under-covered, I mean the Facebook post shown and linked above appears to be the only coverage of Biden’s appearance at all. There is no mention of “Biden high school Model United Nations”  or “Biden NHSMUN” in Google News searches.

So, yes, Biden has spoken in person, in public, once since Inauguration Day. But it was an astonishingly well-hidden public appearance.

Ed: Jim Geraghty wrote this as a follow-up to a post earlier in the day titled “Say, Where Is Joe Biden These Days?” I have asked the same question a few times over the last few weeks. And I find the lack of interest in Biden these days very, very odd.

Ed: On the other hand, Schumer’s making a mistake by doing a media tour at this point. He has no idea what to say, and so he’s venting nothing but hatred for anyone who differs from him and other progressives on policy. He’s going to do enormous damage to Democrats in the process. So pass me the popcorn …

Democrats are overperforming at the state level, with centrist candidates flipping one seat and coming close in another in special elections in deep red parts of Iowa. Rahm Emanuel, who once orchestrated a takeover of the House by recruiting Blue Dog Democrats, is eying a 2028 bid for president. And leading Democrats like Gavin Newsom and Chuck Schumer are rebuffing the left — the California governor siding against trans players in women’s sports and the Senate minority leader veering away from progressive demands to shut down the government.

“Moderates are having their moment,” said Jonathan Kott, the onetime senior adviser to the former centrist Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia. “I think people are realizing that there were many reasons we lost in 2024, but an acquiescence to all of the liberal groups and fighting and dying on hills about 1 and 2 and 3 percent of the voting population seemed really dumb.”

Ed: They aren’t having any moment. Schumer’s not “rebuffing the left” — he’s going on the air to attack taxpayers as ingrates. Newsom’s podcasting rather than governing, and hasn’t lifted a finger to change the law in California that he supported that allows males to enter female competitions. Politico is smoking the drapes. 

===





Ed: Two thoughts on this. First: Was there any doubt? And second: Do Democrats really want to own that?

===

Ed: Centrist Dems and View viewers, amirite?

===

Ed: This is unfortunate. You’d think that Shanahan would have checked with Caruso first before floating a recall. And Caruso should really reconsider this too, because Bass isn’t competent to run anything, unity or not.

The two Democratic commissioners at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission said they were illegally fired by President Donald Trump on Tuesday, in another major test of the independence of regulatory agencies. …

Commissioners Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Kelly Slaughter released separate statements saying they had been fired from the consumer protection agency. 





Ed: They have been fired. Is it illegal? The new administration is itching for a chance to get the Supreme Court to determine that “independent” agencies in the executive branch are not constitutional. Add this to the list.

Ed: Your 2024 Democrat VP candidate, folks!

In August of 2017, Damore became one of the first high-profile victims of cancel culture after he wrote the infamous “Google memo,” officially titled “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber.”

In it, he argued that it wasn’t merely bias which resulted in women being so underrepresented in tech, but that men and women’s biological differences might play a role as well. Google’s programs that sought to achieve male-female parity in tech jobs were actually discriminating against men, because “nearly every difference between men and women is interpreted as a form of women’s oppression.” Perhaps worst of all, he argued, was that the company was so politically biased in favor of DEI that it was virtually impossible to openly discuss these issues. “The lack of discussion fosters the most extreme and authoritarian elements of this ideology,” he wrote.

The fact that Damore was fired by Google once his memo went public seemed to bolster the latter part of his argument—not that it was interpreted that way at the time.





Ed: Not in the mainstream media, it wasn’t. Some of us got the irony at the time, though, and were appalled by Damore’s villainization. Damore’s warning to Google execs turned out to be prophetic years later when their AI platform turned out to be riddled with woke bugs. There is a saying that says, “Living well is the best revenge.” This Free Press profile of Damore is well worth the read.
