We were going to take up the transcendent matters appropriate for the climax of Advent, but the headlines won't let us! The dam started breaking this week about Joe Biden's unfitness for office, which, as the Wall Street Journal reported, began during the 2020 campaign. Just who has been president for the last four years? And aside from the perfidy of the complacent and compliant (to Democrats) news media, should there be a serious congressional investigation into what is clearly one of the greatest coverups in American history. Biden's senior staff and cabinet should have to answer uncomfortable questions about this, and perhaps face charges for decisions and actions they may not have had legal authority to make.
We also review the drama of the last 72 hours over the Continuing Resolution to avoid a "government shutdown," with Steve arguing the outcome was a minor victory for conservatives, but needs to be followed up with more serious steps in the new Congress.
From there, we note the important of Fani Willis getting her fanny handed to her, and then take up briefly some listener reaction to our mid-week show, especially Hadley Arkes's long note about what we missed about the Commerce Clause and the nearly forgotten case of Hammer v. Dagenhart. We ran out of time for a complete consideration, so next week!

this was the final nail in corporate media. How many of the talking heads pushed the FJB is sharp as ever - right before his final collapse during the debate with Trump

I don't think the media hacks are doing mea culpas to salvage their credibility -- they're gearing up to attack Trump's cognition the first time he misspeaks. They'll start singing a chorus of "25th Amendment." As in, "After what happened with Joe Biden, it's vital that people speak out when they see obvious signs of decline in a sitting president"
When it comes to Legacy Media, always begin with the most malevolent of motives and work back from there.

Listening while driving, often when I think of a comment Lucretia makes it for me.
All Musk did was pull back the curtain to show the Democrats ‘ in flagrante delicto’.

Years ago a NY Assemblyman gave up his seat, remarking that the longer you stay in Albany the more you lose your sense of outrage. I get the same vibe from old DOJ hands, sort of OK with injustice if it’s done skillfully.
