https://thefederalist.com/2025/01/17/biden-attempts-to-change-the-constitution-via-press-release-on-his-way-out/
The
above links refer to the situation where Biden, on his way shuffling
out the door, sought to impose a 28th Amendment to the US
Constitution,,,the tragically moronic "Equal Rights Amendment". Old Joe
didn't write the statement released by the White House declaring this
"amendment" to be "the law of the land". I fully doubt he's even aware
this statement went out with his name on it. For the duration of his
failed four years, I don't recall him ever bringing it up. This was
just another attempt by his handlers to push something out there to
further confound those who would have to clean up the mess of it.
Both articles describe well why old Joe is full of crap. To pretend it was in any way ratified would have made the statement unnecessary, because we'd all be aware of it by now. My pocket Constitution would have included it.
This issue was suggested by Bubba, though I can't recall specifically why he did so. He's free to go ahead and comment on it specifically, but since the time it came up, and after he supplied me with the NYP article and I had found the Federalist version of events, my interest in this has changed. So I'm going to use it to address something else: Qualifications and competence...and maybe a few others things related.
As the Senate confirmation
hearings for Trump's appointees had been moving on, and as for some
continue to move along, we constantly heard about those two criteria,
most particularly for specific people like Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard,
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Kash Patel. But in most all cases where a
selection is up for a position in which that selection had not already
served in that capacity in a previous administration, "experience" is a non-factor. So what we see on the national stage to further rationalize disqualifying a Trump selection is a behavior all too common with our resident progressive fake Christian from Jeff St: the tactic of finding fault, isolating it, inflating it without any regard to any relevance to the fitness of the selection, nor any recognition of positive attributes which would or might mitigate any faults. Fitness isn't the issue. Qualification isn't the issue. Ability isn't the issue. Partisan politics is the issue.
Pete Hegseth is said be unqualified because he wasn't a big general like Lloyd Austin? Austin didn't at all distinguish himself and if we want to talk faults, among his many was going AWOL. RFK Jr has involved himself deeply in health concerns for most of his political career and somehow he's less qualified than Richard Levine? (Does Bobby have to don a dress to get any respect?)
The Dems/marxists/perverts bring up every foible they can scrape up and even in cases where a behavior is wholly unseemly, it has no bearing on their selections. Hegseth drank too much after serving in the military and Kennedy had issues with smack, but the lying left pretends Obama's crack indulgence either didn't happen or wasn't anything over which to fret. It's the Dan-Double Standard writ large.
And this is unquestionably obvious with regard to the lying left's treatment of Biden and Trump. While Trump has his many marks against him, Biden's are never put under the same microscope at the same magnification. They want to pretend Trump has lied over thirty thousand times during his first term (or whatever number they claim after padding the list as much as they could), while Biden's been lying his ass off throughout almost fifty years in politics prior to his having illegitimately been installed as the puppet president in 2020. While they questioned Trump's mental acuity, determining the line across which Biden went to senile from just plainly and obviously stupid is difficult and really more concerning.
But the real proof is in the pudding for which the left has no taste. Each had a single four year term to judge and the difference in competence and effectiveness...as well as honesty and a lack of corrupt behavior...couldn't be more stark. Trump improved on what the left falsely claims was a booming economy. Biden took a crippled but recovering economy and drove it into the ground. Trump well proved his fitness, while Biden proved he wasn't fit to dress himself. Pumping up Kamala Harris as a legitimate, suitable replacement was more of the same.
I can understand partisanship. But while my own (to the extent I'm actually a GOP partisan rather than just a conservative dude) is justifiable (easily so), I will not support ineffective politicians, or those who have proved themselves truly corrupt, as many are at the start while others become so later. No. I look at merit and find the left's entire lineup wanting, and they give me reason after reason for believing they are the true danger to our republic. I don't disregard negatives. I put them in context and in their proper priority. I don't disregard positive actions by Dems. I just weigh them in the same way against all the far more dumbshit things they do and try to do.
The attacks on Trump and his appointees are crap and unworthy of government officials, but dumbasses elected them and we have to deal. But we may have reached a point where Dem assholery has finally run its course, or is very near. Their failures resulted in a good enough portion of their voters coming to the light, and now, with Trump on a roll they cannot stop, they're pulling out any stop they have left to overturn the positive response to his many positive moves. I hope he keeps it coming at the rate it is now, and barring any unforeseen unforced errors on his part, it's hard to believe the midterms won't result in great GOP majorities in both Houses.
So when the left accuses Trump of anything, it's likely one will not only find the story is wrong, but also that a Dem has already done it without rebuke by the same assholes accusing Trump. Trump's often accused of "shredding" the Constitution. Not only has Biden (and Obama, too, for that matter) actually acted in conflict with it, the story at the top of the post is one which goes farther...Biden rewriting the Constitution.
It never ends.

It's strange that those who while about "diversity" are criticizing Trump for actually appointing people to his cabinet who actually have significant diversity of opinion when compared to the entrenched government complex.
Craig,
That's just an exposure of the distinct difference in how diversity is defined. To the "progressive" it means how one looks...race, gender...or wants to have sex, yet all march in lockstep with the party narrative. To the conservative, it means ideas, with the narrative being what's best for all.
My point exactly. Trump is embodying diversity by picking those he thinks are the best options, without regard to the superficial or skin deep view of diversity held by the left.
Time will tell how good they are, but hopefully they will be.
He needs your help: http://watchmansbagpipes.blogspot.com/2025/02/for-feodor.html
I don't know if the above is from Dan posting about Glenn, or Glenn himself or just one of the many trolls who have nothing intelligent to say, but post comments anyway. But the link describes the what so many have had to endure because of one specific troll, who pretends he's Christian, intellectually superior and married to a black woman. A sick individual and rank coward to boot.
LOLOLOL! Democrats are listening to the American people! Trump's approval rating continues to sink like a rock in deep water as they wake up to all the crap he is doing. We will retake the House BIG next year and the presidency AGAIN in 2028. It's so bad for the GOP right now, they are canceling Town Halls across the nation.
Marshal Art,
Feodor isn't the only one that Jesse Albrecht has chewed many new assholes into. He also does it with professional Catholic apologists. You have got to see this:

Where do you get your weed?
Thanks for the heads up.
How desperate is Dan's troll, that he screams for attention by announcing new posts at his now again active blog. Here's a better idea: Make sure your name is a hyperlink to your profile, and we will find your link to you post there if we really have nothing better to do than to read your self-satisfying self-stroking commentaries. If you choose to behave in a more civil manner, I may actually add you to my "Left Ones" list of lefty blogs....most of which are no longer active due to being embarrassed too many times...just as you so routinely are.
I just read Feodor's blog, and Jesse Albrecht went over there and stung him like an angry wasp. He has a brand new asshole added to his already hundreds that have been ripped into him. He should never be constipated again, but that comes with the issue where shit comes from his mouth rather than from his bottom: https://signmovesreality.blogspot.com/2025/03/jesus-ignores-sola-fide.html
David. I appreciate your efforts in giving me alerts to feo's blog. Don't really need them, though. And even though feo's scum, I'd prefer you not attack others at this blog in the manner you have. I can do that without any help. Thanks in advance.
I'm finally getting around to this post, thank you for starting it! The big reason I wanted the subject brought up is simply because I think it's revealing: if leftists don't denounce an attempt to change the U.S. Constitution via presidential first, they tell us how little they really care about our constitutional republic.
It's an interesting question why Biden did this, but that assumes he was in charge of his own social media account. Whoever is responsible, I wonder what they're trying to accomplish.
Bubba,
I find it hard to believe that to the left the US Constitution is anything but a prop to be cited whenever most convenient, but never with any true regard for its spirit and intention. They use it as a club to beat down true Constitutionally minded conservatives and Republicans who actually have at least a cursory understanding of it. It seems quite plain to me that our Constitution is quite problematic for the Dem/leftist/marxist/progressive agenda, and throughout our history, particularly since Wilson, Dems have been intent on minimizing and mitigating its proper position within and influence upon our national culture. They simple cannot achieve their spurious ends and remain faithful to that most excellent document at the same time. They are in constant conflict with each other.
The Biden situation with the bullshit ERA was just a weak attempt to force it into the public consciousness as a reality by and around which we should all live our lives. I'm grateful no real effect on anybody was the result of this attempt, by whomever it was who sought to impose it upon the nation.
Art, off topic, but wondering why we haven't seen new posts for aver a month.
Bubba, I don't think it's too far off to argue that for the left the constitution is merely a weapon to be used to push forward their agenda (especially through the courts), and a shield to hide behind when they want to do something less than constitutional (again using the courts to delay or rule in their favor).
As for the ERA thing, it was a last gasp attempt at a legacy by a doddering fool who'd been thrown to the curb by his own party. It's clearly insane to think that a presidential fiat can change the reality that the ERA wasn't passed before the clock ran out.
On the one hand, I think that everything the ERA intended to change has pretty much been changed by other means. On the other, it would be a great weapon to push for equality for the "trans", "MAPS" and other sexual deviants who are inching towards acceptance.
No worries. Just a combination of low motivation, an abundance of distractions and indecision about what to cover next, as there is so much happening. I may do a kind of roundup as you and Stan often do, or some low motivation facsimile. Something will appear soon.
Gotcha. As long as you're ok.
More so than not. Thank for your concern, my friend.
