For all the talk of his age, we are fortunate that Joe Biden is politically of another time and era, when compromise was both possible and practical, and it was okay to change your position on issues as long as it was for better. He gets it that Woke! has a shelf life and, at some point, the average voter not named Extremist wants what is best for him/her and not what makes for the loudest soundbite. One candidate puts his name to a book he didn't write about the art of the deal. The other actually practices it. Advantage: Biden.

Remember way back in November 2022, when the GOP said it was about the economy and jobs and the economy? Me too. Now it's about Woke!. Evidently the jobs and economy issues have been fixed to their satisfaction, since we're not hearing about them anymore. Accordingly, and all together now: Thanks, Joe.

Ah, Constitutional Carry. A few days ago I watched a Nebraska State Senator give a floor speech in favor of "Constitutional Carry." He told a story about being pulled over for a traffic violation and telling the officer that he had a handgun strapped to his body, had a second in his center console, and a third in his glovebox. The officer asked what he was afraid of. He replied, "Absolutely nothing." There you have it. Proud to be paranoid.
