OPEN THREAD: Make me proud.

NOW IT CAN BE TOLD: Book deals for those who hid Biden’s decline.

This information is all well and good – but a simple question should be posed. Where are the apologies to those who used their eyes and ears to observe Joe Biden’s decline and were labeled “cheap-fake artists” and conspiracy theorists for talking about it contemporaneously? Where are the book deals for journalists at the Wall Street Journal who reported on Biden forgetting names and faces behind the scenes? Columnist Karol Markowicz wrote in April 2022 at the New York Post, “Biden’s decline is obvious to everyone but the press.” Where is her book deal and Morning Joe media tour?

Journalists who chose to look the other way in service of making sure Donald Trump did not return to the White House do not deserve to be financially rewarded for revealing all the sordid details of Biden’s decline, if they deceived the American public and participated in a massive scandal and cover-up at the time. They should not be writing books. They should be apologizing to the rest of us.

TRUE:

CHANGE.

CHRISTIAN TOTO: Amber Ruffin Weaponizes ‘Very Fine People’ Hoax.

The former Peacock talker got hired, and then dismissed by the White House Correspondents Association to emcee its April gala.

The WHCA didn’t mention Ruffin’s name in the cancellation announcement. Nor did anyone from the corrupt group explain why she was chosen for the honor and, later discarded.

She deserves better. That doesn’t mean she wouldn’t be a train wreck on the night in question.

Even by far-Left standards, Ruffin is a progressive bomb thrower, a clapter-approved satirist who hits mostly one side. That’s exactly the image the WHCA wants to avoid on its biggest night of the year.

Case in point: Ruffin threw a public tantrum on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” this week. And, in the process, she cited one of the biggest Fake News stories of the past decade.

She never should have been tapped for the WHCA gig in the first place.

I’m assured she’s a comedian but I just don’t get it.

IT’S MY THURSDAY ESSAY FOR VIP SUBSCRIBERS: The Case For (and Against) Trump’s Tariffs. “Today’s essay is a tricky one because tariffs are a surprisingly emotional issue, involving jobs, buying habits, and sometimes sentimental notions about the good old days, on top of the drier macroeconomic and geopolitical concerns. So before we go any further, please understand that I have more questions than answers. What I have for you today is more of an exploration than an argument in favor of one side or the other.”
