Good Morning Kids. So, the powers that be that control Biden have evidently penetrated the fog of his dementia and bribed him as well as his Lady Macbeth of a wife to step aside and bow out of the race. But, if he’s not fit to remain in the race, how is he fit to remain President, or even puppet president to Obama? The question for me is what the hell is really going on here, within the ranks of the Democrat Left. Could it be that they truly fear Donald Trump, who after surviving an assassination attempt that dare I say it likely has Democrat fingerprints on it, and I don’t mean just the patsy that pulled the trigger, will actually prevail in yet another likely compromised election, or that the combination of a demented, shambling candidate obvious for the world to see and more crucially his abject disaster of the past four years of his term in office will sink them come not just this November, but please God maybe even a generation?
The Left controls the bureaucracy, the schools, the media, most of the courts, the few incredible SCOTUS decisions that go our way notwithstanding, too many corporate board rooms and the minds of far too many young and not so young people.
And yet, they are pulling themselves apart over Joe Biden. TO reiterate, what do they really fear? Could it be that they actually fear a rising tide of Americans awakening to greater or lesser extents as to who and what they, the Dem/Left, really are?
As John Lennon wrote, “You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.” And yet, as the Democrats burn their own house to the ground, who and what they are means the flames will not necessarily limit itself to said house of ill-repute, but will likely spread and engulf the nation. Their lust for power as well as an undying hatred for this country, its people, heritage and history means we are both in a position to put them on their heels, as well as in mortal peril as their power and influence perhaps for the first time in over a century are threatened as never before.
Fasten your seatbelts and get ready for a bumpy ride, my friends.

- Klain, who served as chief of staff from 2021 to 2023, wrote, “Now that the donors and electeds have pushed out the only candidate who has ever beaten Trump, it’s time to end the political fantasy games and unite behind the only veteran of a national campaign — our outstanding @vp,@KamalaHarris!! Let’s get real and win in November!” Former Biden Chief of Staff Blames Donors, Lawmakers for Biden Ending Reelection Campaign
- Daniel Greenfield Part Deux: “A primary doesn’t preclude Kamala and with access to Biden’s war chest, and the backing of Biden and the Clintons, she automatically moves into the pole position. The legal process also makes it easier for her than anyone else to succeed Biden. But it’s clear that some key players would like there to be other options. Even if they eventually pick Kamala, they want it to be a dealmaking process in which they get something out of it.” What Happens Now? A Dem Civil War

- So if Trump wins in November, expect the Left to blame white supremacy, or the Jews, or the Nepalese intelligence services, or global warming, or whatever. Anything but their own incompetence and treason. But whatever hilarity they inject into the discussion about “voting rights” and “election integrity” should be laughed at, derided, exposed, and then ignored. I suspect, at this point, many of them won’t bother trying. The Democrats Just Overthrew Their Own Election

POLITICS
- Biden fares worse when the candidates of other political parties are included. In a six-way matchup including independent candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West, Green Party candidate Jill Stein, and Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver, 46% would vote for Trump, 40% would vote for Biden, 7% would vote for Kennedy, 1% would vote for West, 1% would vote for Stein, and 0% would vote for Oliver. Biden’s weakness on the top of the ticket is harming Democrats down the ballot, as well. Asked who they would vote for if Congressional elections were held today—a Republican or a Democrat—47% said they would vote for the Republican candidate with 43% choosing the Democrat candidate. Traditionally, Democrats have polled better than Republicans on the so-called “generic party” congressional choice question.
