Around 1:46 pm today, President Joe Biden, via a letter to delegates, announced that he would not seek nor accept the nomination by the Democratic Party for president. I expected the announcement by tomorrow (Monday), but I guess a Sunday is good as any. More people at home to receive the news. The energy was … Continue reading The Wes Moore gambit. The downside of Joe Biden not resigning full stop.
Atlanta will be a hot mess on Thursday as President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump roll into Atlanta to debate.

Who can best obscure the battle on Mount Olympus?
I admit that I watched last night’s last minute press conference hoping for something spectacular from U.S. president Joe Biden: an announcement that he was leaving the race. The first few words from his lips and I figured that Mr Biden was opting to continue on the road to the presidency. Mr Biden took the opportunity to … Continue reading It is as if the markets expected a Biden gaffe…
