It’s Friday, April 25, 2025

A belated happy Earth Day (April 22) to anyone who gives a shit. If CNN’s chief climate correspondent Bill Weir is right (he definitely isn’t, but for the sake of argument), it could be the last one we’ll ever get to celebrate. Even by the low standards of mainstream journalism, Weir is a horribly obnoxious liberal weirdo. He is best known for naming his son River after conceiving him “in a lighthouse” and for celebrating the child’s birth by publishing an absurdly long (and absurdly public) letter apologizing for bringing him into a polluted world full of greedy corporations and “climate change” skeptics. Days before the election in 2024, Weir told CNN’s audience that “life on Earth” may cease to exist if Kamala Harris lost. If that’s the case (it isn’t), Democrats probably shouldn’t have nominated such awful candidates.

Climate freaks are the worst: Weir’s fellow doomsayers in the Colorado legislature are considering a bill called the “Increasing Transparency Impact of Fuel Products.” It would require gasoline pumps and other fuel products to display warning labels with the following phrase: “WARNING: Use of this product releases air pollutants and greenhouse gases, known by the state of Colorado to be linked to significant health impacts and global heating.” This might be one of the dumbest things Democrats have ever proposed, and that’s saying something. Meanwhile, so-called climate activists in Manhattan vandalized an electric car dealership using aerosol cans. Bless their hearts. They’re unlikely to face serious consequences, of course. When a Democrat does it, it’s not a crime.

WARNING: CNN is fake news. If there’s anything that deserves an admonishing label (because it’s typically consumed by idiots), it’s CNN. We keep learning more about the Democratic Party’s ill-fated efforts to cover up Joe Biden’s cognitive decline leading up to the infamous debate (on CNN) in June 2024. In light of these new revelations, it can be fun, if somewhat enraging, to go back and compare the now-it-can-be-told reality to what the mainstream media was telling us at the time. For example, here’s how CNN’s Kaitlan Collins described Biden’s debate preparation:

“President Biden has spent days locked in intense preparation, surrounded by his closest advisers at Camp David, and our sources are telling us tonight that full mock debates are underway—at the podium, under the lights—he’s even watching tape … As I reported while covering him at the White House, when Biden prepares, he does so incredibly intensively.”

There’s no doubt that’s what sources were telling her back then. The problem is that mainstream journalists are predisposed to believe that anything a Democrat tells them must be true. A pair of recently published books about the 2024 election have given us a better idea of what really happened at Camp David, and the truth is nowhere near what CNN was telling its viewers.

Longtime Biden aide Ron Klain, who hadn’t seen the president in a while, was “shocked” by Biden’s condition at the debate prep session, journalist Chris Whipple writes in Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History. The 81-year-old was “fatigued, befuddled, and disengaged.” He wouldn’t stop blabbering about NATO and “how much foreign leaders loved him.” At one point, Biden wandered off by the pool and fell asleep in a lounge chair. Klain started to worry the debate could turn into a “nationally televised disaster,” which it did.

Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes offer more details in their book Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House. “Two days before the debate, a sickly Biden ambled into the family-style Hickory Lodge theater at Camp David,” they write. “A small clutch of advisers strained to hear him through a raspy voice and incessant coughing. If they knew what he wanted to say, it was hard for them to tell.” The first of two mock debates was supposed to last 90 minutes. Biden called it quits roughly halfway through. The second one ended after just 25 minutes. “Everything went to shit,” the authors write. “No matter how much his mental capacity had diminished, neither the sickness nor the rehearsal time it stole would improve his performance.”

In other words, it was not very intense. Something to keep in mind whenever a CNN journalist “reports the news.”

What they’re saying: The press’s complicity in the coverup of Biden’s decline “is going to be a big issue in the coming days, I assure you,” journalist Mark Halperin said this week. So stay tuned.

THEY KNEW: 30 Times Democrats Worried (Privately) About Biden’s Decline Before the Debate Fiasco

WARNING: Fake Indian is also a liar. Elizabeth Warren, the U.S. senator best known for advancing her career by pretending to be Native American, was one of the Democrats who had to have known that Biden was too cognitively impaired to serve another four years in office. Most Americans could tell just by watching him on television. Warren continued to praise Biden’s mental acuity until the moment he dropped out of the race, and she struggled to keep a straight face when asked about it in a recent interview with liberal podcaster Sam Fragoso. “I said what I believed to be true,” Warren said. “Look, he was sharp, he was on his feet. I saw him [at a] live event. I had meetings with him a couple of times … the question is, what are we gonna do now?” The answer is, just keep lying and pretend that nothing happened.

Democrats pivot to Hitler (again): Having failed to convince the American people that Donald Trump was Adolf Hitler during the 2024 election, Democrats have embraced a fresh new strategy of… comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. Politico published an “exclusive” interview this week under the headline, “Al Gore compares Trump administration to Nazi Germany.” The New York Times published a satirical op-ed by liberal activist Larry David titled, “My Dinner with Adolf.” It was ostensibly intended as an attack on comedian Bill Maher, who had some positive things to say after dining with Donald Trump, who is just like Hitler. Times deputy opinion editor Patrick Healy described having his mind blown after reading the first paragraph: “‘OK,’ I thought. ‘This is different.'” It’s always fun to discover new things.

Buttigieg boasts of black baby bargain: Mayor Pete is poll-testing a beard ahead of his inevitable run for president in 2028. (The kind that grows on one’s face, not the other kind.) He was sporting the patchy scruff this week during an interview on the bro podcast Flagrant with Andrew Schulz. He talked about the mixed-raced twins he adopted with his husband Chasten (before secretly taking several months off for paternity leave) and the various challenges they have faced. “Contending with, like, the [black] hair thing is already, like, a thing,” Buttigieg said. He went on to explain that “there was actually a discount” for adopting non-white children, meaning that the adoption process did not require a deposit.

Biden crime update: Ashley Biden, the daughter of Joe and Jill Biden, runs a charity “wellness spa” in Philadelphia. In 2023, when Joe Biden was nominally still the president, the organization’s tax filing omitted $500,000 worth of donations from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Archewell Foundation and the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Ashley Biden signed the document, under penalty of perjury, stating that the charity received just over $170,000 in donations that year and didn’t receive a single contribution greater than $5,000. Whoopsie.

Speaking of crime: There are many reasons why Democrats and their journalist pals dislike Donald Trump. One of the main reasons appears to be that Trump is too mean to criminals. Last week, the Associated Press lamentedthat Trump’s efforts to crack down on illegal immigration were harming the economies of villages along the Darien Gap, a notoriously dangerous stretch of jungle on the Panama-Colombia border frequently used by human traffickers. This week the New York Times mourned the Trump administration’s deportation of Nascimento Blair, who was recently returned to his home country of Jamaica more than 21 years after illegally entering the United States. Blair, 44, spent most of those years in prison following a kidnapping conviction, yet he remained in the country and had even “taken classes at Columbia University,” according the Times, which described his “disputed” criminal past as an “odyssey” of “redemption” that Trump failed to appreciate.
