How Trump Wins the Debate and the Election

By: Frank Miele， RealClearPolitics
It's the demeanor, stupid.The public already overwhelmingly supports Donald Trump on the issues. But what many of them worry about is his demeanor. In other words, does he "act presidential"?So, on June 27, when Trump joins President Joe Biden on CNN for the earliest general election presidential debate in U.S. history, it's not going to matter what the former president says so much as how he says it.Think of it as the equivalent of a medieval knight running the gauntlet. Every question from pro-Democrat moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash and every taunting response from President Biden...

Biden Sent the Wrong Message at Morehouse

By: Loury ＆amp； McWhorter， Substack
Last month, President Biden delivered the commencement address at Morehouse College's graduation. The year is 2024, but hearing the president talk, you would swear it was 1964. Amidst the speech's self-promoting pablum, he felt it necessary to tell these young men they would have to work ten times as hard (presumably ten times as hard as their white peers) to get a fair shot in the United States, and that while they may love their country, their country "doesn't always love [them] back in equal measure."

But early polls suggest that a significant plurality of Americans agree with the jury's decision, and that it could produce at least a small bump in support for President Joe Biden.

By: Loury ＆amp； Kelly， Substack
On Friday, I sat down with Megyn Kelly of SiriusXM. We talked a lot about Late Admissions, but we also addressed a handful of topics in the news, including the new New York Times Magazine piece about Ibram X. Kendi (more on that tomorrow in my conversation with John McWhorter) and unfair criticisms of black conservatives like Clarence Thomas, Florida Congressman Byron Donalds, and, of course, me.

I Think I Can Explain Biden's Bad Approval Ratings

By: Zachary Carter， Slate
In January of 1980, Jimmy Carter had been in office for three years, and the economy was terrible. Cumulatively, consumer prices were up more than 32 percent since he had entered the White House, and they had been rising steadily for more than 18 months. The unemployment rate was on the rise, after averaging 6.3 percent across his time in office. Wages, adjusted for inflation, had been falling for a year, gas prices were surging, and the interest rate on a typical home mortgage was over 15 percent. Things were very bad, and getting worse.

Biden's Status With Voters Has Reached Red Alert Status

By: David Winston， Roll Call
It has been a disappointing spring for the president. Historically low job approval numbers, especially for his handling of the economy. Inflation, driven by food and gas prices, remains above 3 percent. Antisemitic protests disrupting campuses and two wars still raging with no end in sight. And his nemesis, Donald Trump, continues to score significantly better on issues with voters nationally and in the key target states that will likely determine the election.

There's No 2024 Game Changer Coming

By: Ed Kilgore， New York Magazine
For months now, many political observers have stared at polls that show Donald Trump with a modest lead over Joe Biden and have placed a mental thumb on the scales for the incumbent due to "Trump's legal problems." This was particularly common (and justifiable) back when it looked as though Trump could be on trial for multiple criminal charges in different cases before Election Day. And even when it turned out the (arguably) weakest case against him was the only one that would reach fruition before November, the available evidence and plain logic suggested that being officially branded as a...

The thing they want you to know is that they will now use "lawfare" to prosecute Democrats for unnamed crimes as both retribution and deterrent. And...
