The ‘Biden Experiment, Top Gun, and Depp Decision’ Edition – Opinion

Two years into the experiment, allowing a man to run the country, who has been severely compromised by family connections and international business contacts, and is a prevaricator, all-around bad bore and probably a disaster, was already disastrous. But if one can count on anything from the left, it’s their bad ideas.

President Biden spent the last couple of weeks lying about the economy, threatening schools that didn’t align with progressive transgender ideology, and generally making a mockery of the 2nd Amendment.

Here’s David Harsanyi debunking Biden on 2A and correcting Biden’s misstatements on the Heller decision.

Biden quoted Justice Scalia’s majority opinion in Heller, saying, “It was Justice Scalia who wrote, and I quote: ‘Like most rights, the right Second Amendment — the rights granted by the Second Amendment are not unlimited.’ Not unlimited. It never has been.” (Thankfully, he spared us his historically illiterate diatribes on cannons, “deer in Kevlar,” and “yelling fire in a crowded theater.”)

Democrats tend to isolate this line of thought from HellerThey simultaneously claim the same decision catastrophically created an individual right of firearm ownership. But Scalia’s line, read in context of the decision’s finding that the Second Amendment protects a right to possess a firearm unconnected from militia service, only upholds the legality of states limiting “dangerous and unusual weapons,” not weapons “in common use” by “law-abiding citizens.” The AR-15, and similar rifles, easily meet the latter criteria.

Now there’s this strange new poll — you can decide for yourselves if you think it has any worth (I’m skeptical) — that DeSantis is behind VP Kamala Harris as a preferred top of the ticket candidate for 2024. This is meant to indicate that Democrats have also noticed their Biden experiment was a failure.

According to another survey, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is a viable presidential candidate in 2024, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have work to do.

The April 2022 Harvard/Harris Poll puts the Governor behind one potential 2024 General Election opponent, should both make the ballot.

Some of the following: 1.966 voters registered to vote conducted online Apr. DeSantis scores 4 points less than Vice President Kamala Harris, in the event he and Harris were to become their parties’ respective nominees.

Harris won 42% support, while DeSantis was chosen by 38%. Additional 20% weren’t sure who they would pick.

It continues an ongoing tradition of hypothetical races between these two. The February Harvard University/Harris Poll showed Harris the choice of 41% of those surveyed, with DeSantis at 39%. An January Harvard/Harris PollDeSantis was 1 point ahead of DeSantis, 41% to 39%

DeSantis wasn’t polled for President Joe Biden in the most recent April survey.

When the progressive left failed to install Hillary as their leader in 2016 — and subsequently had to face the repercussions of what Hillary’s camp did post-election re: cooking up a Russia collusion hoax — they scrambled to foist possibly the worst of their crew onto the American people, using the chaos of the pandemic to keep their Frankenstein out of sight.

But they couldn’t keep him — nor his gaffe-prone mouth — shut up forever. And it may be the worst thing that’s happened to the credibility of the Democrat party in quite some time.

I talk about all that on the show below, as well as offer my thoughts on the outstanding “Top Gun: Maverick” (trailer below). Depp, Heard, and others are also there.
