Presidents Have the Same Legal Immunity as You
The Supreme Court heard arguments for presidential legal immunity. Trump, naturally, wants unlimited immunity if he wins. Would that mean he could gun down ex-president Joe Biden on Fifth Avenue? The Court seemed to be leaning to a more limited immunity from prosecution. More like what you and I have – up to $10,000 in free shoplifting.

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, NPR SHOULD GET OFF THE DOLE
From the WSJ April 25, 2024 – In an essay earlier this month on the news site the Free Press, NPR editor Uri Berliner said the public radio network had lost its way by letting liberal bias skew its coverage. NPR erred on big stories including the origins of Covid-19, Hunter Biden’s laptop and the Israel-Hamas conflict, he wrote. Berliner was suspended last week and subsequently resigned.
I used to listen to NPR. I really liked Car Talk, All Things Considered and Terry Gross on Fresh Air. But over the years it’s become a little too smug. Or maybe I used to be a lot more smug and didn’t notice.
Anyway, nobody’s forcing me to listen to NPR so I have no problem with it, except that I am forced to pay for it. NPR is partially funded by the government but it’s hard to see why, all things considered.
President Biden Cannibalizes History
Joe Bided spun a tale in Pennsylvania about his uncle 2nd Lt. Ambrose J. Finnegan Jr whose reconnaissance plane went down in the Pacific near Papua New Guinea during WW II. Biden’s purpose was to insult Trump by claiming he called American troops “suckers and losers” for dying in combat. But Biden shuffled from the frying pan into the fire when he implied his uncle was eaten by cannibals.
I didn’t even know you could say “cannibals” anymore, much less accuse them of eating your uncle. Needless to say, when the leaders of Papua New Guinea heard Biden’s story they were really steamed.
The Mark of Zorro
According to NYT reporter Maggi Haberman Donald Trump snoozed in court. He was probably up all night ranting on Truth Social about spending the day before gagged in court. If things go Joe’s way Trump will spend every day of the campaign in court – or jail, which could lead to drowsy debates – if Sleepy Joe allows it.
