KEY WEST LOU / MEDIA FAILS U.S.

I watched the Biden interview last night. I was impressed with the way Biden handled it.  Detailed responses. The first time many Americans may have been made aware of the day to day routine of being President. The work that goes into it. Biden was at the top of his game.

Yes, he made 2 or 3 faux pas along the way. Minor ones. No one is perfect. Not even a President. Nothing significant, however.

Biden also made it clear he did not intend to “surrender.” He is in the race!

I was anxious to hear the news persons following the show. I assumed they would be laudatory of Biden. Since I watched the interview on NBC, I stayed with NBC and its top reporters.

I WAS GROSSLY DISAPPOINTED. SHOCKED!

NBC’s best were two bit hacks. They nit picked everything Biden said. I could not believe it. They were making something out of nothing. A mountain out of a mole hill.

As great as Biden’s performance was, theirs was poor.

Roughly 12-16 Democratic leaders say Biden should withdraw. Cowards all. You support your leader in his time of stress. Not add to it.

There are another group of Democrats who are saying privately that they do not view Trump as an “existential threat to democracy.” They are fooling themselves. Trump is “obvious.” He is Hitler reincarnated. If Trump is elected, where will they and the rest of the nation be one year later? Trump will have gone for the jugular. He will not have hesitated. Then, what?

Joe Scarborough says Barack Obama is working “behind the scenes” to “orchestrate” calls for Biden to step down.

Why Barack, if true? Sad, if true!

It is being reported Obama knew of George Clooney’s statement before it went public and did nothing to stop it. Real shit politics!

Biden is a class act. Such chicanery will only stiffen his backbone, as it should.

The Democratic Party has to get back together. Swiftly. Time is running. Abraham Lincoln said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Nor can a political party.

Trump is also having problems within his party. A Republican governor came out against him. Utah’s Spencer Cox said he won’t vote for Donald Trump and will instead “write somebody in.” Cox made the statement yesterday.

Cox said he was especially disturbed by January 6. He also said he wanted a Republican to win, but not Trump.

A visit with Dr. Norris yesterday. A three month checkup.

At my age, I have had many doctors who have treated me. Also big city hospitals to small town ones. Norris the best primary care physician to have taken responsibility for my well being. Key West is fortunate to have a physician of his quality available to care for them.

Fred Klein’s friday blog shared an amazing remedy for brown spots. Raw potatoes.

Try it! Fred guarantees you’ll like it. If there is a run on potatoes, blame him.

The World Atlas named downtown Key West one of two best downtowns in Florida. Our Duval Street!

The other named was Palm Beach.

The World Atlas described each as a “great vacation and getaway experience.”

Key West is without a City Manager at the moment because of wayward actions by 4 Commissioners. Since the City Manager’s discharge, an interim City Manager was appointed.

He is presently on vacation. He claimed he was “ready to serve” when appointed.

The City Manager debacle is a disgrace and overall makes Key West government appear a joke.

Hurricane Beryl did a hell of a job! A destructive one. Covered a 6,000 mile path beginning in Africa and running to Vermont.

Now we are warned La Nina impacts may be imminent. La Nina fuels Atlantic tropical storm activity.

Enjoy your day!
