My wife and I are losing a battle of wits with a squirrel who eats the bird seed. We thought we had a solution by putting chile powder on the seed. (Birds have no taste buds.) But I just saw a squirrel eat some seed that I personally covered with chile powder.

NEWS: Bernie Sanders tells me he will forgo another presidential bid of his own and instead endorse President Joe Biden's reelection.

The decision also signals that, at 81 years old, the progressive leader will never again seek the presidency.

His support is still coming from establishment Republicans too cowardly to oppose Trump. Theyāre the next RINOās.

DeSantis sits at 24% in the latest WSJ poll.
This is a red alarm for his campaign team. He has high positives but a low base.
Thereās no path.
Something unforeseen could change the trajectory here but thatās not a strategy. This is a bad place for a campaign to be.
