“When historians assess Joe Biden’s tenure in the Oval Office, it is likely they will point to the week that began on Sunday, Sept. 10, as having six of the most challenging days of his presidency, culminating in the federal indictment of first son Hunter Biden on three gun-related felony charges.
Consider the events of each of those six days:
Sunday—President Biden woke up to this headline in David Ignatius’s column in the Washington Post: “President Biden Should Not Run Again in 2024.” Mr. Ignatius is one of the president’s favorite journalists, one of the few he has consistently read throughout his five decades as a senator, vice president, and the nation’s chief executive.
Mr. Ignatius, who is tightly sourced in the intelligence community and is a leading influencer of Democratic progressive thought, cited a survey that found 69 percent of Democrats think President Biden, 80, is too old to be president for a second term. The column said plainly what many prominent Democrats have kept to themselves.
“Right now, there’s no clear alternative to Biden—no screamingly obvious replacement waiting in the wings. That might be the decider for Biden, that there’s seemingly nobody else. But maybe he will trust in democracy to discover new leadership, ‘in the arena,'” Mr. Ignatius writes.
Monday–On the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans in 2001, President Biden became the first president not to commemorate those losses by attending memorial services at the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Washington, the crash site of Flight 93 in Pennsylvania, or at the White House.
On the last leg of his return journey from Vietnam, the president instead chose to deliver remarks at a U.S. military base near Anchorage, Alaska, while Vice President Kamala Harris attended the 9/11 ceremony in New York. The Vietnam stop had been scheduled in advance of the 9/11 memorials, the administration said.
Tuesday–Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced the chairmen of three committees that have been investigating allegations of influence-peddling by President Biden and his son Hunter will proceed to a formal impeachment inquiry.
That move is expected to make it much more difficult for the Biden administration to withhold documents and witnesses sought for months by the three chairmen.
Wednesday–As President Biden was preparing to address a reelection campaign rally in Maryland the next day, the latest Consumer Price Index report showed inflation increased in August to an annual rate of 3.7 percent, up from 3.2 percent in July. The continuing inflation challenges the president’s attempts to sell “Bidenomics” as the key to restoring economic prosperity.
Thursday–Special Counsel David Weiss announced three felony gun charges against Hunter Biden, weeks after a plea agreement with the Justice Department fell apart.
Friday–Members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) walked out of selected automotive assembly plants of General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis (formerly Chrysler), marking the first time the storied union struck each of the “Big Three” at the same time.
The union is demanding a 46 percent pay raise, a shorter workweek, and other new benefits, making a speedy settlement difficult to achieve. There are nearly 10 million automotive-related jobs in the economy, and every such position helps support an estimated 10.5 millions positions in other industries. An extended strike will inflict damage throughout the U.S. economy.”
“The Texas Senate voted mostly along party lines to acquit Ken Paxton of all 16 articles of impeachment. Two Republicans joined the Democrats to vote against him.
The state Senate also voted to dismiss the four articles of impeachment that were held in abeyance with a 19–11 vote.
“Today, the truth prevailed. The truth could not be buried by mudslinging politicians or their powerful benefactors. I’ve said many times: Seek the truth! And that is what was accomplished,” Mr. Paxton said in a statement after the acquittal.
There are 31 state senators in Texas; however, only 30 senators—18 Republicans and 12 Democrats—could vote on the impeachment articles because Sen. Angela Paxton, the wife of Mr. Paxton, is ineligible to vote.
Ms. Paxton was required to attend her husband’s trial but was barred from participating in deliberation and voting, according to the trial rules.
The 30 senators, who began their deliberations just before noon on Friday, returned to the Senate chamber at noon on Saturday to vote on 16 of 20 separate articles of impeachment. Four of the articles—articles 11, 12, 13, and 14—were held in abeyance.
The House managers needed 21 votes on any one article to convict Mr. Paxton and remove him from office.
Most of the votes went along party lines with two Republicans, Sens. Robert Nichols and Kelly Hancock, joining the Democrats to vote against Mr. Paxton.”

Hey why let facts get in the way of your narrative…..

Gossip now too David?
Probably leaked by the Noem camp to increase her appeal with Republican Evangelicals. They do love their adulterous politicians. https://t.co/CaBTkS8KFK
While there is definitely a part of the evangelical sect that has turned Trump into an idol and more that simply believe him to be a superior choice to lead country, broadly & publicly painting evangelicals like this from someone who claims to be a brother in Christ is grotesque.
Spreading unsubstantiated gossip, putting the worst construction on Christians whose politics he opposes, and being uncivil is in no way beneath him, sadly.
No, most of us became Noem critics when she capitulated to powerful corporate interests and refused to sign a bill protecting female sports from men pretending to be women. There was quite a bit of evangelical outcry over that. But that doesn’t allow you to slander your fellow…
