2025 is starting off as a disaster for this Substack author.

I've already lost 13 paid subscribers since the end of November 2024. In 2024, I peeked at 304 paid subscribers (in late November). I'm now down to 291.

In the first year of my Substack, I averaged 20 to 25 new paid subscribers per month. In the last nine months, I'm losing subscribers every month or lucky to stay the same. But 13 lost subscribers in a matter of weeks is completely new for me.

I do appreciate the people who are sticking with me and helping me with Ko-Fi donations.

More on Biden's one press conference of 2024 - at a summit for leaders of NATO ...

The first journalist Biden was told to call on was Jeff Mason of Reuters, who asked two questions including:

“…what concerns do you have about Vice President Harris’s ability to beat Donald Trump if she were at the top of the ticket?”

In his response, Biden promptly committed one of his now infamous gaffes:

“Look, I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump  to be vice president did I think she was not qualified to be president. 

In a later question, Biden called on a reporter for National Public Radio who he called “Asam” when the reporter’s name is Asma.

That was it for Biden press conferences.
