We're at knife's edge

In the Washington Examiner, Michael Barone writes in part,

Biden’s campaign (like Clinton’s) has moved to the left of the Barack Obama and Bill Clinton administrations.

Biden is hostile to fracking, amenable to ninth-month government-funded abortions, eager to raise taxes to the highest levels since Ronald Reagan, and fond of green energy policies that are producing electricity blackouts in high-tech California.

What he’s unwilling to say has been significant as well. Just as broadcast networks and CNN have portrayed Black Lives Matter demonstrations as “mostly peaceful,” even when fires rage in the background, Biden and other Democrats made no mention whatever, much less a denunciation, of violent rioting at their virtual national convention last month. That, even though, as an academic study revealed, there have been some 570 violent riots in 220 cities and towns since late May.

After the Republicans’ virtual convention and after polling showed public concern, Biden suddenly broke his silence on rioting, blaming right-wing extremists but not the more numerous antifa terrorists. Of course, no reporter, in the brief period the Biden campaign has allowed the candidate to be questioned, has brought up the subject.

...We’re at knife’s edge for the eight weeks until Election Day and maybe for weeks after that.
