Yes‚ Joe Deadhorse is my nickname for Joe Biden‚ as those among our readers who have been checking in each weekend for the installments of the serializing‚ soon-to-be-bestselling novel King of the Jungle‚ well know.Hes Joe Deadhorse because everything about him is akin to a dead horse.He represents a politics in America that is ready for the glue factory. Biden isnt even an active ingredient in his own administration. Hes told what to do by an unseen cabal of handlers who quite obviously owe far more allegiance to Barack Obama‚ the real boss‚ than they do to the demented old man and his batty AWFL wife in the White House. And‚ as terrible as that may sound‚ its actually better than giving Biden the reins of power.No‚ really. As hard as it is to say that were better off with Susan Rice and Anita Dunn calling the shots on Obamas behalf and putting Biden out there to take the blame for everything than letting Biden himself make these calls‚ its probably true.But heres the problem: everybody knows that none of this works.Everybody knows. Team Biden‚ which is Team Obama‚ knows. They dont want to admit it‚ of course‚ because to do so would be to put their political power the all-important source of meaning in their lives at risk.I keep saying this‚ but that dynamic is where the danger truly lies this year.1. Look Whos Saying the Polls Dont MatterThere was a Wall Street Journal poll that came out a few days ago that had Donald Trump beating Biden in six of the seven swing states‚ with the two tied in Wisconsin‚ at least in a head-to-head contest:Republican Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden in six battleground states in the 2024 U.S. presidential election‚ according to a Wall Street Journal poll released on Wednesday that cited concerns about the economy and Bidens performance.Trump garnered a lead of between 2 and 8 percentage points among voters in Pennsylvania‚ Michigan‚ Arizona‚ Georgia‚ Nevada and North Carolina on a ballot that included third-party and independent candidates‚ the Journal said. The results were similar in a one-on-one matchup with Biden‚ it said.In Wisconsin‚ a seventh state where the contest is expected to be close‚ Biden was ahead by 3 points on a multiple candidate ballot and tied in a head-to-head contest with Trump‚ the Journal saidTrump was viewed as having the better physical and mental fitness for the job by 48% of respondents‚ compared to 28% for Biden‚ the poll showed.Oh‚ but no‚ says DOCTOR Jill Biden:To heck with the polls Jill Bidensays its obvious she will get a second term as first lady.Mrs.Bidendismissed some discouraging poll numbers in an interview this week on CBS Mornings and said PresidentBidenis surging and will win in November.Co-host Tony Dokoupil noted a Wall Street Journal poll showing former President Donald Trump leading in all but one of seven key battleground states‚ which Mrs.Bidendismissed.No‚ hes not losing in all the battleground states. He is coming up‚ and hes even or doing better‚ she stated.Mrs.Bidenthen confidently stated the obvious.You know what? Once people start to focus in and they see their two choices‚ its obvious that Joe will win this election‚ she said.The Wall Street Journal poll referenced by Mr. Dokoupil had Mr. Trump leading in Pennsylvania‚ Michigan‚ Arizona‚ Georgia‚ Nevada and North Carolina by margins of 2-8 percentage points. Mr.Biden had only a 3-point lead in Wisconsin among the seven key states surveyed.If those results held‚ Mr. Trump would have about 310 Electoral College votes‚ comfortably more than the 270 needed to win.Im not here to tell you that you should have any sort of slavish adherence to poll numbers. I wont do that at all.What I will say is that when you start denying that polls matter‚ or that the polls cant be believed‚ its a good sign youre losing.And whether Jill Biden‚ Americas most famous AWFL‚ believes it or not‚ thats whats going on with Team Biden. Clearly theyre losing. Just ask Rasmussen‚ who now has Trump with an eight-point lead on Biden nationally.(By the way‚ in case youre confused‚ AWFL stands for Affluent White Female Leftist‚ though sometimes the word liberal is used instead as the L. And yes‚ Jill Biden is as good an avatar for those as there is‚ though I wont fuss at you if you throw Liz Warren or Randi Weingarten in as the better avatar of the species.)2. But Why Is This Happening to Poor Joe Deadhorse?Im glad you asked because now I can sit back and let John McLaughlin‚ who served as Trumps pollster in 2020‚ explain it. This is from a Newsmax column that John and Jim McLaughlin co-authored a couple of weeks ago‚ but all of McLaughlins observations are still spot on:Many Americans believe the country is becoming a virtual dictatorship with a solid majority saying President Joe Biden wants to put former President Donald Trump in jail to stop his electoral chances‚ a new McLaughlin poll finds.We should note that Russian President Vladimir Putin just won reelection by 88%.But he did so only after Putin first jailed his leading political opponent‚ Alexei Navalny‚ and many of his supporters. (Sadly‚ Navalny recently died while in prison.)Now Bidens playbook against Trump seems eerily similar.At least a majority of American voters think so.Inour new national poll56% of all voters think Biden really wants to stop Trump from winning by putting him in jail. The national poll of 1‚000 likely voters with plus or minus 3.1% at the 95% confidence interval was completed between March 9 and March 14.Only 30% say its not true that Biden is trying to jail Trump.Here are some eye-popping findings from the McLaughlins in that survey:67% say that politics has played a role in the indictments of Trump.58% say that Biden has played a role in the indictments of Trump.56% to 31% say there is a double standard and bias at Bidens Department of Justice‚ FBI‚ and IRS‚ where they target Trump but Biden and his family get sweetheart deals.52% to 38% say the indictments against Trump were done because he leads in the polls and they want him stopped.58% to 34% say that Biden should stop targeting Trump and interfering in the election‚ letting voters decide the next president.3. Hey‚ Think This Will Work To Fix Those Poll Problems?Theres a survey out there that says most Americans have turned against Israels continued prosecution of the war against Hamas‚ though its a little bit of an outlier.But maybe Team Biden doesnt think so. Theyre using that incident a few days ago in which seven aid workers were killed in what sounds like a mistaken air strike by the IDF as the justification for a demand for an immediate cessation of hostilities. That was Joe Deadhorses message to Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call on Thursday:President Biden spoke by telephone with Prime Minister Netanyahu. The two leaders discussed the situation in Gaza. President Biden emphasized that the strikes on humanitarian workers and the overall humanitarian situation are unacceptable. He made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific‚ concrete‚ and measurable steps to address civilian harm‚ humanitarian suffering‚ and the safety of aid workers. He made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israels immediate action on these steps. He underscored that an immediate ceasefire is essential to stabilize and improve the humanitarian situation and protect innocent civilians‚ and he urged the Prime Minister to empower his negotiators to conclude a deal without delay to bring the hostages home. The two leaders also discussed public Iranian threats against Israel and the Israeli people. President Biden made clear that the United States strongly supports Israel in the face of those threats.So much for that pledge of eternal support for Israel after the horrors of Oct. 7‚ you guys.Poor John Kirby‚ who seems like hes very sad to have to explain away the various idiocies of the people he works for (unlike Karine Jean-Pierre‚ who is far more grateful for her DEI job assignment and is willing to shill for Team Biden with far less conscience)‚ didnt seem to have much fun in trying to make sense of this:Its hard to conjure up much sympathy for Kirby. If he had any pride or principle‚ he would have blown that pop stand some time ago.And just to make it all the clearer why the American people keep expressing a classic meme attitude toward Team Biden‚ there is:4. Hey‚ Lets Insist on Ukraine Joining NATO!Tony Blinken should have been impeached as secretary of state several times by now‚ starting with the revelations that he was one of the people behind ginning up those 50 intelligence community spooks who outright lied to the American people by declaring the Hunter Biden laptop reporting was a Russian disinformation plot. Blinkens role in the Afghanistan pullout‚ which by the way has given us the wonderful everything-old-is-new-again phenomenon of ISIS-K training bases in Afghanistan‚ was another reason. There have been a few others.And now theres this:U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday that Ukraine will eventually join NATO as support for the country remains rock solid among member states.Ukraine will become a member of NATO. Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership‚ Blinken told reporters in Brussels.Is he crazy? Is he stupid?One poll question this column would be interested to see results from is very simple: Should the U.S. be engaged in encouraging talks to reach a ceasefire or a lasting peace in the Ukraine war? If that isnt a 2-to-1 winner among the American people‚ it would be a bit of a surprise.But heres the thing: continuing to demand that Ukraine be made a member of NATO when that is the single worst irritant when it comes to Russias relations with the West is the best possible way to ensure that no peace talks will be had between the Russians and Ukrainians.And we already know that this government has kiboshed any opportunities for peace talks over the last two-plus years.So Israel‚ who was invaded‚ cant be allowed to win when they can‚ and Ukraine‚ who was invaded‚ cant be allowed to find peace when winning is no longer a real possibility. This is your foreign policy.Its just one of a smorgasbord of reasons why the American people are souring on Joe Deadhorse. The stench is a lot more powerful than the political corpse is‚ thats for sure.5. Bingle UpdateIve had a smattering of messages from a few of you asking after Mr. Bingle‚ who is this fellaI know‚ right? Thats the kind of face you cant help but root for‚ isnt it?Id had a column in this space a good while ago talking about Bingles health issues specifically that he has a growth of some kind that has turned his epiglottis into‚ essentially‚ a giant rock in his throat.At the time I wrote it‚ the vet was giving me the enjoy what time youve got left speech because the way he saw it‚ Bingle was a goner with that sort of malady. So I figured I should pay the little guy a tribute in these pages.That was in January of last year. Its now 15 months later where did the time go? and would you believe Bingle is as vibrant and robust as ever?No‚ that thing on his epiglottis hasnt gone away. It hasnt gotten any bigger‚ either‚ which is good.But none of the effects the vet was certain would happen that he wouldnt be able to eat‚ or that hed aspirate‚ or that his breathing would be impaired have happened.Now‚ he coughs like one of those old guys playing chess in the park. And when this dog begins snoring‚ it literally sounds like a chainsaw. Ive got to do podcast appearances all the time‚ including with The Spectacle‚ and Bingle gets shooed out of my office because he will nod off to sleep in the doggie bed in the corner and practically drown me out with the snoring. Thats a function of the rock in his throat.But otherwise?He had to go to the vet last week for his yearly shots‚ and the guy was beside himself. How are you keeping this dog in such good shape?All I can say is I took him off kibble and now he eats the FreshPet dog food‚ plus I give him this supplement from a company called Petsmont. Its essentially a mushroom powder that apparently does wonders to reduce lumps and tumors and so forth; it seems to work.And anyway‚ Bingle has made me look like an overreacting‚ wolf-crying helicopter parent for having written that column all those months ago because‚ to answer your questions‚ hes doing absolutely‚ miraculously great.So far. Well keep enjoying each day as an unexpected blessing anyway‚ even if that snoring has cut down on my REM sleep.The post Five Quick Things: Beating (Joe) Deadhorse appeared first on The American Spectator | USA News and Politics.

The Trump campaign juxtaposed an empty podium bearing the words Anytime‚ Anywhere‚ Anyplace with its candidate on the other side of the stage delivering a full-throated address earlier this week.Thats for Joe Biden‚ Trump told the Green Bay crowd of the empty podium.Im trying to get him to debate‚ Im calling on Crooked Joe to debate anytime‚ anyplace. Well do it anywhere you want‚ Joe‚ so that we can discuss in a friendly manner the real problems of the country‚ of which there are many‚ instead of trying to have corrupt prosecutors fight your battles for you.The debate about debates‚ like discussions over the candidates cognitive health and the legal issues surrounding Trump and the Bidens‚ demonstrates the genius of politicians in presenting the sideshow as the circus. Such issues do not persuade voters about the worth of the candidates proposed policies and general philosophy. They largely distract from the main issues facing the next president.The national debt approaches $35 trillion‚ war overwhelms Haiti‚ Israel‚ Ukraine‚ and points beyond‚ and illegal immigrants overwhelm the southern border. Yet‚ the political discussion fixates on personalities‚ courtroom drama‚ and process issues that do not illustrate the governing philosophies of either major candidate.Ironically‚ debates‚ the forum that often illuminates the plans and outlooks of candidates‚ move in our centering-of-the-sideshow politics out from under the big tent into the domain of bearded ladies and sword swallowers.It seems unlikely Joe Biden and Donald Trump face each other on a stage. It seems very likely that debates about a theoretical debate permeate the national discussion from now until the fall. This latter type of debate makes everyone dumber.Why no debate?Democrat Katie Hobbs chickened out of a debate with Republican Kari Lake in 2022s Arizona governors race. Despite trailing in the polls and looking cowardly for refusing to debate‚ Hobbs won the election. The voters rewarded‚ or at least did not care to punish‚ weakling behavior.The presidents team undoubtedly noticed. The Hobbs example provides Biden the rationale for why debating Trump does not make sense.And incumbents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon did not debate their opponents. They won two of the greatest landslides in presidential history.The plethora of somewhat credible third-party candidates everyone knows Robert Kennedy‚ Jr.‚ Cornell West‚ and‚ by this point‚ Jill Stein‚ and the Libertarian Party usually garners more votes than other alternative parties sets up innumerable controversies that practically invite the president to withdraw. One‚ probably RFK‚ Jr.‚ possibly passes the stated thresholds for winning a place on the debate stage. Recall Jimmy Carters refusal to share the stage with independent John Anderson in 1980 that resulted in a single debate between the president and Ronald Reagan instead of the planned three.When asked last month whether he would debate‚ the president said‚ [I]t depends on his behavior. Americans remember Trumps behavior then the nadir of his short career as a politician during the first 2020 presidential debate. Even Republicans watching felt flashbacks to annoying people from their pasts who incessantly interrupted and operated as though the rules did not apply. Bidens people undoubtedly feel that 2020 catastrophic performance possibly catalyzed by undiagnosed COVID shortly thereafter revealed in Trump provides an excuse for not debating in 2024. Alas‚ Biden debated Trump four weeks later‚ which undermines any current argument against debating that rests on the September 29‚ 2020‚ televised disaster.At 82‚ Biden gives the White House staff fits even when taking questions from the press. Sage Steeles revelation that ESPN executives scripted questions for her 2021 interview with Biden buttresses this presidency-with-the-bumper-rails-up mindset. So‚ too‚ did last years scandal of Biden holding a card with a Los Angeles Times reporters name‚ picture‚ and the question she subsequently asked. If Joe Bidens handlers cannot control the environment‚ then the president stays far away. And no environment appears so unpredictable as one featuring Donald J. Trump.To protect the president from any backlash from skipping this passage rite to the presidency‚ booster journalists propel a narrative that such unconventional behavior necessarily excommunicates Trump from the sacredness of the debate stage that place where Al Gore invaded George W. Bushs personal space‚ Bernie Shaw asked about the hypothetical rape and murder of Kitty Dukakis‚ and Gerald Ford denied Soviet domination of Eastern Europe.Presidential debates are for candidates who know how to conduct themselves in public‚ and whove earned the right to be on the stage‚ Steve Benen of MSNBC maintains. Trump falls short on both counts.Actually‚ he does not. He won the nomination of a 170-year-old party‚ appears on the ballot in all 50 states‚ and leads narrowly in most polls. And the question regarding whether he earned the right to debate misses the point. The real question: Have the voters earned the right to see the candidates whose names appear on their ballots debate on a stage before they make their choice?Neither Joe Biden nor Donald Trump debated their primary opponents. It seems rich for Trump now or Biden later if he trails to demand what they failed to give prior to securing the nomination.It nevertheless amounts to an injustice for either man to dodge this fairly consistent (recently at least) quadrennial fall tradition. Civic-minded groups did not draw up the idea of presidential debates‚ after all‚ to serve this or that candidate. They wished to serve the voters.And just as the absence of serious debate about how the Fed unnaturally suppressing interest rates brought about inflation or the role of welfare programs in attracting a substantial chunk of Central and South America to relocate in the United States does not serve the American people‚ the absence of actual debates between the major presidential candidates does not serve them‚ either.It insults them.READ MORE:What Robert Kennedy Jr. Held Back From His Counterpunch of the Censorship StateDont Feed the Pigs: College Costs Soar Past $90‚000 AnnuallyBidens Strange Story Collapses in Bridge Collapse PresserThe post The Meta Debate About the Presidential Debates (or Lack Thereof) appeared first on The American Spectator | USA News and Politics.

Young people are the future is a quip every Gen Zer has heard. Unfortunately‚ the future has lost its interest in the future. Young people are increasingly turning their backs on marriage and children‚ a choice that is hurting their mental and spiritual health‚ their physical wellbeing‚ and‚ ultimately‚ their happiness and sense of fulfillment with life.As I approach graduation from college‚ I also approach my second wedding anniversary. Unfortunately‚ my husbands and my young marriage is far from the norm in todays society‚ and these new norms are hurting Americas young people.Devaluing MarriageThe institute of marriage has been undermined in our post-feminist society‚ and rates have been steadily decreasing since 1980.In 1980‚ only 6 percent of men and women over 40 had never been married; by 2021‚ that number had more than tripled to 25 percent. Today‚ the United States is experiencing record-low rates of marriage.Marrying young has become particularly rare. According to Art of Manliness‚ In 1960‚ the median age for first marriage was 23 for men and 20 for women. Now‚ its 30 and 28‚ respectively.READ MORE: Advocacy for Marriage as the Ideal Is Racist‚ Says ProfessorThat said‚ according to Susan Brown‚ a sociology professor at Bowling Green State University‚ marriages today are much more stable than they were in 1979‚ the year the divorce rate peaked. Were seeing a tremendous drop in divorce among young adults in their 20s and through their 30s‚ Brown told NPR. 1 in 10 people getting divorced today [are] over the age of 65.This is likely due to the fact that as overall marriage rates decrease‚ the majority of marriages become those between men and women with a strong religious background‚ and these individuals are the least likely to get divorced‚ as Brown points out. They are also more likely to get married young‚ and so‚ instead of attempting to fuse together two very different lives‚ the husband and wife grow and mature together‚ building one unified life.Unfortunately‚ even though many young people still want to get married‚ they no longer believe it to be important for a happy life.According to a 2023 Pew Research Center study‚ Among all adults ages 18 to 34‚ 20% say being married is extremely or very important for people to live a fulfilling life‚ and 22% say having children is extremely or very important. Instead‚ they value careers and friends.Hurting Our YouthIn addition to deemphasizing the importance of marriage‚ todays secular culture goes so far as to claim that the sexual freedom todays youth experience outside of marriage has made them happier.Theres less responsibility for meeting the needs of a spouse‚ and coordinating living together and reducing conflict‚ psychology professor Charles T. Hill told the Knot‚ a popular marriage and dating website. Plus‚ theres less responsibility for raising any children that may result. Those who are single have more freedom to do what they want when they want or to play the field without commitments.This argument‚ however‚ has been proven false. Not only are married couples more likely to be overall happier‚ but they also‚ according to Harvard Medical School‚ tend to live longer‚ have fewer strokes and heart attacks‚ and avoid cancer and chronic diseases. In addition‚ married couples are more likely to avoid poverty‚ become financially prosperous‚ and achieve success in their careers.In contrast‚ as marriage rates have decreased‚ the percentage of American adults struggling with depression has drastically increased‚ a 2023 study from Gallup found. Adults aged 18 to 29 have the highest rates of current depression or treatment for depression‚ while those aged 18 to 44 have the fastest-rising increases in diagnosis of the illness.Women have been especially affected. Nearly one third will be diagnosed with depression at some point in their lives‚ compared to only 20 percent of men.The gap between the married and the unmarried in terms of financial resources‚ health and well-being is growing‚ said Brown.Relationships as a Business TransactionDaily Wire host Michael Knowles recently had a viral exchange with a feminist in which they argued over the benefits of marriage. Knowles pushed back on the post-modern idea that independence is the ultimate good.I dont want to be independent‚ Knowles said. I want to be dependent on my wife.Yet independence is all the rage in todays dating culture. Technology has directly impacted that development‚ with 28 percent of all to-be-weds choosing to opt out of forming connections in the real world and instead swiping‚ vetting and engaging with potential partners online‚ the Knot explains.Unfortunately‚ this technological approach has skewed our view of dating. A recent article from NBC News may proclaim that dating coaches are promoting more traditional dating roles‚ but those same coaches argue that young people should see the dating scene and relationships as a business. A TikTok influencer featured in the article echoed that sentiment‚ telling her more than 1 million subscribers to only date men [who] can afford you.This modern view of dating and marriage is preventing the formation of real‚ flourishing relationships. Marriage is not about what each spouse can get out of it; its about building a life together for the happiness of the other‚ the wellbeing of their children‚ and ultimately union with God.Young people will only succeed in being the future if they are taught the value and beauty of marriage. If they arent‚ Americas cultural decay will see no end. The post The Case for Marrying Young From Someone Who Did appeared first on The American Spectator | USA News and Politics.

John Eastman is a lawyer‚ legal scholar‚ and a friend. A former clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas‚ candidate for California attorney general‚ and dean of Chapman University School of Law‚ I got to know John during my weeklong 2018 legal fellowship with the Claremont Institute‚ which he oversaw. We have stayed in touch and done at least one event together for Claremont since that time.Unfortunately‚ since the 2020 presidential election‚ John has been put through the wringer more than just about anyone in American public life.He was forced to retire from the law school where he was a longtime constitutional law professor and even dean. He was let go by the University of Colorados Benson Center for Western Civilization‚ where he was a visiting scholar. Armed Stasi sorry‚ FBI agents accosted him in a parking lot and seized his phone without a warrant. He has been suspended from academic conferences and lost board seats. He and his wife have endured death threats‚ spikes in their driveway‚ and threatening graffiti in their neighborhood. He has been debanked by Bank of America and the USAA. He is being criminally prosecuted by scandal-ridden Fulton County‚ Georgia‚ District Attorney Fani Willis. And last week‚ State Bar Court of California Judge Yvette Roland devoted 128 pages to explaining why he should lose his law license.All this because John had the chutzpah to do what every law school student is taught to do in legal ethics class: defend and zealously advocate for ones client‚ no matter how unpopular‚ or even disreputable that client may be. In this case‚ Johns unpopular client was a high-profile one: former President Donald Trump.There has been an astronomical amount of misinformation about Johns activities in the weeks leading up to the Jan. 6‚ 2021‚ U.S. Capitol jamboree‚ as well as the legal advice that he offered his high-profile client during that time. The corporate media and the Democrat-lawfare complex typically speak of Johns legal advice as encouraging the overturning of an election or fomenting an insurrection‚ but such hyperbolic talk is irresponsible and wildly off base.John acquitted himself well in a compelling essay he penned for Claremonts American Mind online journal on Jan. 18‚ 2021‚ titled Setting the Record Straight on the POTUS Ask.'; His 12th Amendment argument about the vice presidents more active role in certifying the states slates of electors and his accompanying argument regarding the constitutional dubiousness of the Electoral Count of 1887 might not be correct (although it could be)‚ but it is well within the bound of plausible‚ nonfrivolous legal argumentation an attorney can (indeed‚ should) press upon an embattled client. That is doubly so here‚ because the U.S. Supreme Court has never authoritatively interpreted the relevant 12th Amendment provision. Countless legal arguments more frivolous than this are advanced every day in courtrooms across America.Nor is John Eastman the only man being prosecuted‚ and possibly disbarred‚ for his legal activity after the 2020 election. Former U.S. Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark is also being prosecuted in Georgia‚ and he was just found by the District of Columbia Bar to have violated an ethics rule‚ which might lead to his own disbarment there all stemming from an internal Department of Justice memo that Clark never even sent.Once upon a time‚ the American Left understood the moral imperative of ensuring that all Americans have adequate access to legal representation‚ no matter ones popularity in the eyes of the government or societal elites. Indeed‚ the definitive American example of such unpopular legal representation actually dates back to before the United States was even independent: In 1770‚ a young lawyer named John Adams‚ the man who would become the young republics second president‚ took it upon himself to defend the British soldiers accused of killing five colonists at the Boston Massacre. Years later‚ in his dotage‚ Adams reflected that this was one of the most gallant‚ generous‚ manly and disinterested actions of my whole life‚ and one of the best pieces of service I ever rendered my country.Presumably‚ Fani Willis and Judge Roland would have preferred to see John Adams tarred and feathered for his treachery. One also cannot help but wonder how they might have viewed the NAACPs legal representation in the Deep South during the days of Jim Crow.The ultimate aim of those Jacobins prosecuting and disbarring lawyers for having the temerity to practice the legal profession is clear: the subordination of the rule of law to the Jacobins own friend/enemy-level politics‚ and the cowing into submission of those lawyers who would so much as consider representing a high-profile Republican client or work in a Republican Department of Justice. Ironically‚ and without any hint of self-awareness‚ they do all this in the name of our democracy.To find out more about Josh Hammer and read features by other Creators Syndicate writers and cartoonists‚ visit the Creators Syndicate website at www.creators.com.COPYRIGHT 2024CREATORS.COMREAD MORE:Go Touch Some GrassVice President J.D.
