True, but business shoes for men had either full rubber

Full leather heels were for patent leather pumps, for
dancing, or for evening shoes that you weren't expected
to walk far in. It seems to me it was generally accepted
back then that leather underfoot is pretty dangerous.

I did a frame-by-frame stop motion of the video at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwjmyZUA2O8
This frame shows the sole and heel of the left shoe.

Looks like leather sole and rubber heel. However, it doesn't matter
whether the heel is leather or rubber. The stairs have a rather steep
tread to riser ratio. If you watch when he climbs further up the
stairs, only a small part of the heel touches the tread. With a
narrow tread, slippery red rug, slippery leather soles, trying to
climb too fast, and lack of practice, climbing such steep stairs will
be a problem for anyone.
There were also sticky rubbers that could be stuck under
leather soles for safety and longer wear. -- AJ

They have told Biden to run up the stairs because of all of the questions about his health and welfare. It simply backfired.

That's what I said was likely, back up the thread, writing to Roger.

I don't think I want to go any further with sticky rubbers underfoot...

A new porcelain fude pen arrived from Chiina, handpainted with a gambolling dragon. The cap carries an ornate symbol by the same hand. Maybe my Mandarin isn't isn't as glib as was once thought, but I swear the symbol looks like, "Screw you, dragon, I don't fear you."

Notice that what might seem in footage taken from the blind area behind the filled stairway side to be an old man recovering his breath or perhaps waiting for help before rising again, from the bottom of the stairs, with the fallen Biden clearly visible, is a pause by a vain old man to dust off his trousers, or maybe the trousers brushing wasn't vanity, perhaps good ol' Joe has enough brainpower left to realise he should pause to recover his breath..

In either case, it seems likely Kamala Horselaugh will have time for much more inappropriate Horselaughing before she manages to nudge Sleepy Joe off the pot.

Back in the darkest hour when it seemed that the Clintons were returning their kleptocracy to Washington, it never occurred to me that the Donkey Party would be rotten enough, or vicious enough, to put up two such unsuitable candidates as Clinton at the same time. But they've done far worse: they haven't only put of twunsuitables, they've put up two incompetent unsuitables at the same time. After the border debacle Biden created all by himself, and the shambles he's made from Trump's vaccination success, all else that can go wrong is that Biden and Harris will try to steal the same White House furniture and be involved in a cat fight on the WH driveway. (For Donkey Party voters, blessed with short memories about their evil deeds in the space where the good people have consciences, the Clintons stole White House furniture assessed by by the official WH keepers and dressers at $190,000, which the Clintons were made to repay. Hillary was very bitter about it -- she thought she was entitled to steal whatever belongs to the American people..) -- AJ

Since Congress avoids responsibility or action above all
else, the past half century of 'enabling legislation' has
left the real power deep in the administrative State. If you
know and follow the gang of wreckers now agency and
department heads, you should be very much afraid. Or for
not-US-citizens, amused.

While China and Jing are in seventh heaven, Russia is not. With Trump they at least knew where they were, good, bad or indifferent. China has said many times that they own Siberia and if they were to invade you know as well as I that Biden would roll over.

I'm not sure we have a dog in that fight.

The Amur conflicts have always gone to Russia, India is
holding her own at Line of Control for well over a year now
and PLA was seriously defeated by Viet Nam laving the Army
with a 0-[some number] record to date.

What PRC does very well are stealth, distraction and
occupation against unarmed populations. See also Tibet,
Philippine islands, South China Sea islands and created
islands, wave of cargo and tanker piracy in the 1990s, use
of 'fishing vessels' for effectively piracy more recently
and the huge Han population shift north of the Amur.

The Chinese Military is now far larger than that of Russia. Their technology is at least equal. That indeed then put our dog in that fight. Russia is the doorway to Europe and we see China in the middle east as well.

I agree that China tries to turn a population through propaganda as you can see here.

The PLA was a lot bigger than the Vietnamese Army too. And
took highly disproportionate casualties, repeatedly, until
they called it a day and quit. Not as lopsided against the
Russians, but another series of second-place finishes
despite a larger force.

No one can know the future, but that's the recent PLA
history- 'all hat and no cattle'.

The enemies of America, who are legion, may be amused -- though I'm rather of the opinion that they are too humourless to smile -- but I'm not. You had one lucky escape when, despite the best efforts of the wreckers, Donald Trump turned out to be a very effective president. How many lucky escapes can you expect? --- AJ

China has been invading Vietnam for thousands of years and actually
occupied the north for a considerable period. The Trung Sisters led a
revolution against Chinese rule in 39 - 43 AD. The Chinese won but the
Sisters are still remembered as heroes in Vietnam.
