    Observing

    Recently I posted two pieces pulled from newspapers. The first was from the NYT. I purposely did not credit it to any publication. It was a fact check on Biden's recent news conference and was not complimentary at all to the "liberal" president. No one attacked the content or the source---which is the norm at any mention of the NYT.

    The second part of this was pulled from and accredited to the WSJ. It clearly was a "hit job" as Kevin pointed out---from a source that leans right but generally is fair. As was pointed out, OP-Eds can be a different world and demonstrate that opinions and objectivity do not always coexist.

    I watched the Press Conference as it occurred and have tracked the public responses. Frankly, I don't think it impacted Biden's popularity at all - those who liked him still do. Those that hated him still do. And, polls still show he has the support of most Americans.

    Saw an impeach Biden sign flying from a truck today. I guess he's in a hurry to get Kamala in.

    A neighbor of mine has a 10 foot x 10 foot sign in his front yard saying Trump For President. You can't make this stuff up.

    We have a local guy riding around daily with a huge Trump flag, a confederate flag and an american flag mounted in the back of his pickup. Huge about 6' by 8' like a big sail.
