Democrats’ gross political malpractice accompanied by using DEI instead of merit to choose candidates has resulted in a perfect storm. After months, if not years, pretending that Joe Biden is competent to be President of the United States, that illusion was totally shattered during the infamous debate with Donald Trump.

The same people who created the illusion of Joe Biden, suddenly became focused on shattering that illusion. Their new strategy is “trust me, I was lying.”

I am not sure this even worked or whether Father Time would have caught up with Joe Biden anyway. But we do know this, Joe has now withdrawn, and as predicted, Democrats are out of time. Their dreams of a contested convention where the party would come together and choose a great new exciting candidate shattered overnight. At least part of the problem is that smart potential contestants were not overly enthusiastic about losing in a Presidential election. Few political careers can survive that. But the insurmountable problem is that they waited too long and flat outran out of time.

It is increasingly clear that the nominee will be Kamala Harris. The same tiny percentage of people who thought Joe Biden was a good president doing a wonderful job immediately supported her. Of course, that including everyone who voted for Joe Biden during the primaries, because there was no other option. If Joe was good enough for them, Kamala is also good enough for them and when they voted for Joe, they also voted for Kamala.

A substantial percentage of the Democratic establishment remembers how horrible Kamala Harris was a campaigner and they are not interested in pouring addition funds into a losing cause. In addition, the New York Times did an analysis of the best options to beat Donald Trump, and Kamala came in close to the bottom.

The MSM immediately began singing the praises of Kamala in unison, but there’s a problem. Kamala is still Kamala. The same Kamala who entered the 2016 election season as a highly favored candidate, with enormous money, experience as an Attorney General and as a Senator. And, she was a black female, which made everything perfect. Except she was awful and had to drop out before the first primary. Eventually she was selected to be Joe’s VP because he promised to pick a black female and she was the last one standing. She also was unbelievably valuable insurance for Joe because no matter how bad he performed, she was guaranteed to do worse. Despite what you will soon hear from the MSM, she hasn’t changed.

I could and will write more about Kamala Harris’s horrible record, but you will soon learn all about this, because the Republican Party knows this very well. When you combine this with a cackling nonsensical performance whenever she goes off Teleprompter, it is easy to understand why the Democratic establishment tried so hard to promote Joe Biden. They knew he was awful, but Kamala is perfectly awful.

You reap what so sow, and the Democratic Party is about to weep uncontrollably when it is time to harvest this mess. In desperation they might consider anything. But regardless of who was involved in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, that is also opportunity lost. They are running out of ways to stop Donald Trump.

And at some point, and we may be remarkably close, those who foolishly bought into and funded the Democratic playbook may become so angry at the people who created this mess that Donald Trump will look good in comparison.

Today, Joe Biden miraculously made a phone call to his Wilmington Campaign office while Kamala Harris just happened to be there. How wonderful. He gave a very clear endorsement of Kamala and said all the things she wanted to hear, in exactly the right way. It was impressive. But was it really Joe Biden? Keep in mind that in February of this year there was a robo phone call allegedly from Joe Biden urging people to not vote in the New Hampshire Primary. It was such an obvious fake that even CNN noticed:

I don’t know if Joe Biden made that phone call or not, but I would be extremely surprised if this was a live call. At best, this looked like a carefully edited recording. Kamala Harris even appeared to accidently refer to this as a recording.

But perhaps the better question is why? I mean there are ways to determine if a phone call is real or not. We can be sure that many people are already carefully evaluating this call. So, it if is not real, why take the risk. The obvious answer is that this only makes sense if there was zero chance Joe could just show up in person. In other words, desperate people do dumb and desperate things.

What possible motivation would there be for some people for people to hide something this big” Ok. Stupid question. A better question is what wouldn’t they do to promote their agenda and retain power?

A few years ago, this might even have worked. But today, when so many people have access to impressive technology, it is hard to believe that anyone could possibly get away with such obvious deception. Confusing the girls on The View, easy. Confusing CNN, even easier. Confusing MSNBC, a layup. But confusing everyone, not so much.

We will soon know. In the meantime, bend over and hold onto your ankles. It is hard to imagine this ending up well. If joe is doing fine, and this is all nonsense, then why do something this silly? Silly question. Hear ye, Hear ye.

No one has seen Joe Biden since last Wednesday. He put out a post on X saying that he had tested positive for Covid-19, so he was cancelling his appearances and isolating in Delaware. Then there was video of him slowly descending the stairs on Air Force One after arriving in Delaware and he appeared to need help getting into the limousine. That’s it. Nothing else. Then on Sunday, there was suddenly a post from him on X, saying he was withdrawing from the race. This was followed by another post saying he endorsed Kamala Harris.

So far there is not even a photograph of Joe Biden since last Wednesday. Now some are questioning whether the signature on his withdrawal letter is legitimate. The following article on the daily dot explains this: Judge for yourself.

Conspiracy Theorists Think Biden’s Dropout Signature Is Fake (dailydot.com)

The only thing certain is that this is strange. If Biden was fine, one would think there would at least be a photograph of him hold up a thumb. Nope. Nothing. Not even a phone call from Biden to anyone.

Perhaps he is just really sick and they want him to recover. But this reminds us of when the Secretary of Defense had major surgery without bothering to tell anyone. He didn’t even tell his Deputy who is second in command.

Why Did Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Go Missing for Days? (nymag.com)

Today there was a hearing where the head of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle testified under oath. It was beyond awful. Democrats began, predictably, by trying to turn this on the need for an assault rifle ban. But she was so bad, that even the Democrats turned on her and began demanding answers. She had none. She didn’t even try. She just said this was under investigation and when the report is complete, she will let us know. That didn’t play well in Peoria or anywhere else.

That begs the question, why didn’t Joe Biden fire her immediately? Perhaps, just perhaps, he is unavailable. I doubt that he is deceased because that would be impossible to control. But he could be very ill and unable to communicate effectively. That happened to Woodrow Wilson. He suffered a stroke, and he and his wife hid it from the American public for 17 months. Wilson never considered his condition to be a problem and even considered running for a third term.

How Woodrow Wilson’s Hidden Illness Left America with no President for Over a Year (historynet.com)

I do not know if Biden is ill or not. Neither does anyone else. We just know he is not talking and no one has seen him. That begs the question, who exactly is running the country? Who decided that Joe should withdraw? So far, this has been dismissed as right-wing conspiracy theory, but the clock is ticking and it won’t be long before a lot of people start asking questions.

Just imagine the scandal if it turns out someone decided, on Joe’s behalf, that he wouldn’t run for re-election. If you think things are exciting now, just imagine that. Kamala Harris is going to Wilmington, Delaware to meet with the campaign staff. No one is discussing her meeting with Joe Biden. But someone is sure to ask the obvious. “Did you meet with President Biden. Did you see President Biden. Did you talk with him on the phone?”

The only acceptable answer is yes and she better be clear that Joe is in good health, ready, willing, and able to full fill his duties as President of the United States. Keep in mind that she has lied about his mental capacity on numerous occasions. So, if he is disabled, and she lies again, say hello to President Mike Johnson.

You may say that is unthinkable, and it is, but what about the Biden Presidency has been thinkable for a very long time. The world is waiting. Soon, and very soon, if Biden does not show up, in person, many, many people will be very absent minded.

President Biden officially announced that he is withdrawing from running for re-election. Although this appeared to be inevitable, as recently as yesterday Joe was allegedly in for the duration.

Biden did not immediately endorse Harris. But a couple of minutes later that changed:

Joe Biden on X: “My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best https://t.co/x8DnvuImJV” / X

The usual talking heads on TV are, predictably, missing the point. Between now and the Democratic convention, to be held on August 19^th to August 22^nd, Democrats will have no one available to campaign against Donald Trump. Can Kamala Harris really campaign effectively if it is not completely certain she will even be the nominee. If there is true competition, we will have a fight over the next three weeks. Harris will be spending more time fighting off competitors than fighting against Trump. Those who compete with Harris will make it more difficult for her to win if she does succeed in being at the top of the ticket.

It is possible that Democrats will immediately coalesce behind Harris, but so far there is no sign of that. The dream tickets of Michelle Obama or Oprah or Hillary Clinton are not even on the horizon. If Harris were to be bypassed by any of the above, the anger would be palpable. It could result in a permanent split in the Democratic Party. In addition, the party that had trouble becoming unified in the recognition that Joe Biden was a liability, is extremely unlikely to become instantly united behind anyone.

My prediction is that Democrats will do nothing to choose someone other than Harris. They will instead become totally focused in demanding that Trump withdraw for the same reasons Biden withdrew. There will be the full-throated support of the MSM. But there is a problem. Just like people saw the real Biden during that debate, they also saw the real Donald Trump when he barely escaped being assassinated. In addition, whether you like Trump, hate Trump or anything in between, he clearly is in control and there are zero signs of mental deterioration like that so obvious in Biden. History shows the more they attack Trump, the strong he appears.

In short, this is a complete disaster for Democrats. Their only chance to survive this is for smart and experienced people to meet and use logic, common sense, and wisdom to develop a plan of action. Yet there is zero evidence that such people even exist in the Democratic party. This means the least likely outcome is that the Democratic establishment will come together and do the right thing, for the right reasons. That is simply not in their DNA.

This is Trump’s campaign to lose. If he stays focused on his plan for America and avoids even commenting on Democratic Party three week dating game, that will be very effective. At this point, the only thing that could save Democrats would be for Trump to face plant. I wouldn’t bet on that.

In the meantime, Biden is gone. Someone, possibly Harris, will replace him. This is as close as possible to a worst-case scenario for Democrats, created deliciously entirely out of whole cloth by their own failure to recognize reality and even more importantly to act responsibly.

The entire RNC was a stunning success. The MSM expecting to see wild-eyed, out of control, MAGA cult members instead saw ordinary looking Americans chanting USA. If George W. Bush, Mitt Romney, Dick Cheney, Elizabeth Cheney, Lisa Murkowski, Adam Kinzinger and Paul Ryan were present, they weren’t visible, and no one was bothering to talk to them. People who used to openly despise Trump, like Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz were singing his praises. Whether this is unity around Donald Trump or unity against what Democrats are doing to this country, it was unity. And it showed.

When the Gold Star families of the people killed during the disastrous exit from Afghanistan stood on that stage carrying pictures of their lost loved ones it was an unforgettable moment.

What is a Gold Star family? RNC mourns fallen service members (usatoday.com)

“Joe Biden said the withdrawal from Afghanistan was an extraordinary success,” said Cheryl Juels, the aunt of Marine Corps Sgt. Nicole Gee. “Look at our faces. Look at our pain and our heartbreak. And look at our rage. That was not an extraordinary success.” 

Then last night, Donald Trump gave the closing address. Hulk Hogan and Dana White introduced him. They both described Trump as a strong fighter. The contrast with Joe Biden could not be starker.

He started out by talking personally about what happened when he was shot in an attempted assassination. He was humble and acknowledged that it was only through God’s grace that he was still alive. Democratic plans to win this election by convincing people that Trump was an existential threat to Democracy who needed to be destroyed at all costs evaporated on live TV. Now their only hope is to find someone capable of convincing the world that they are a stronger and more capable leader than Donald Trump. Look at Joe Biden. Ok, enough. Look at Kamala Harris. Stop giggling. Now look at the Democratic bench. See anybody? Anyone? Anywhere?

Trump spoke too long, and he rambled too much, but it didn’t matter. Message delivered.

Everyone one, except Joe and Jill Biden, knows it is long past his bedtime. Joe and Jill went up the hill and they aren’t about to slide down willingly anytime soon. Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Hakim Jeffries and even Adam Schiff are publicly begging Joe to call it a day. Perhaps, at some point, Joe will give up. But the damage has already been done.

Democrats were determined to destroy Donald Trump at any cost. Well Donald Trump is still standing and they are nowhere to be seen. The bullet that blew away part of Trump’s ear took the last shreds of Democratic hopes for tomorrow with it.

It is still hard to grasp the reality of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. It is clearly a miracle that he was not killed. No one is even pretending that this is an acceptable result.

Predictably the Biden Administration rushed to the microphone saying: “Trust us, we will investigate this.” However, the weaponization of the DOJ and the FBI makes it impossible to trust anyone connected to the Biden administration.

We already know things about this incident that are impossible to reconcile. We are told this was a one off, this 20-year-old disturbed man got his hands on an AR15 and took a shot at Trump. Nothing to see here. Just this guy and he is dead. End of story.

One of the most important considerations in investigating is to pay attention to people who lie. In this case we already know the Secret Service has lied. We were told that local law enforcement was responsible for security in the area where the gun man was located. That was not true. Local law enforcement was assigned to traffic control.

We were told that the roof was too steep to allow Secret Service agents access. This roof is so flat that Joe Biden could probably manage it.

How did this young man pull this off? This is about sixty miles from his home. How would he know where to set up for his kill shot. Incredibly, there is video of him walking around, with a backpack and a range finder, about an hour before Trump took the stage. He bought a five ft ladder from Home Depot on his way to the scene. How did he know he would need that? Is it possible that this untrailed youth managed to scout out the area, in less than an hour, identify a potential sniper nest ignored by the Secret Service and get a shot off at Donald Trump? Seriously?

Yet so far there is no evidence of him having any help. And we are reminded not to assume malice when mere incompetence is a satisfactory explanation.

There reports of a man, on that roof, with a rifle, but the only response was for a Secret Service shooter to take a picture of him. Local law enforcement tried to take a look. Not with a ladder, but rather with one officer standing on another officer and trying to pull himself with his fingertips so he could see over the edge. What he saw was a gun pointing at him. He then, predictably, fell and hurt himself. Is this how the Secret Service responds to reports of a man with a gun? They didn’t necessarily need to kill him but they absolutely should have removed Trump from that stage.

There are reports of Secret Service assets withdrawn from Trump to support Jill Biden and Kamala Harris. Who made that decision? Is our Secret Service really this inept, was this just all the protection they felt Trump needed or deserved or was it something more sinister. By any measure, this isn’t even close to being acceptable.

All we know so far is that we don’t know. In the meantime, regardless of why this happened, the result was to elevate Donald Trump to a whole new level. The problem for Democrats was that people can’t get over the sight of Joe Biden during that debate. A new and bigger problem is that people can’t get over the sight of Donald Trump, standing there with his fist raised, with a bright blue sky behind him and an American Flag completing the scene. Good luck with convincing people that this is an existential threat to our democracy.

Last night Donald Trump walked into the RNC convention to a thunderous applause. But when I saw a closeup of his face, it was noticeably different. He looks and acts like a different man. That is understandable, because he literally came within an inch of losing his life. But for the grace of God, he would be dead. A gold-plated casket is still a casket.

Watching the assassination attempt live on television was stunning. There are very few events that are destined to have such a major impact on history. It delivered a devastating blow to the Democratic narrative. Their plan was to win this election by convincing people to hate Donald Trump so much that they would vote for a walking corpse before they would consider voting for him. That disappeared along with a significant part of his right ear. A campaign based on hatred for Donald Trump is no longer an option leaving one to wonder how, exactly, Democrats planned to turn the tide of history.

But after seeing Donald Trump last night, one must ask whether the major impact of this incident may be on Donald Trump personally. Donald Trump is a complex man, highly skilled but also an arrogant narcissist. He did an excellent job as President, but he is not necessarily someone to trust regarding a business deal. I have heard too many stories, from people who know Donald Trump personally, to ignore. Donald Trump is famous for being, well, Donald Trump. That is why so many people love him or hate him.

But what if that bullet did more than nick his ear? What if that bullet gave Donald Trump a stark reminder of the precious gift of life. What if it humbled him by reminding him that he is alive solely because of the grace of God. Some of his remarks since the event hint that this may be the case.

Only time will tell, but it seems possible that Donald Trump suddenly became a different person, overnight. A man forced to acknowledge his own mortality. A man who will spend the rest of his life being humbler, but also much more focused on his impact on those around him. There would be no limit to what could be accomplished by a President Donald Trump if he has really changed,

I am not the only one who noticed this. The following article from Vanity Fair seems to confirm part of this:

Donald Trump’s Inner Circle Says He’s “Changed” Post-Shooting. But Has He Really? | Vanity Fair

We really don’t know if Donald Trump has truly changed. That will take the test of time. But this is a reminder that a close encounter with God has the potential to change anyone. It would the ultimate irony if a shot intended to kill him instead may have saved him.

I had season tickets to the San Francisco Giants for over 25 years. When Barry Bonds was playing for the Giants, he was the most feared hitter in baseball. There was even one game where the bases were loaded, with two outs and the other team had a two-run lead. The manager walked Barry Bonds, giving up one run, because he just did not want to pitch to Barry Bonds in that situation. Attending an SF Giants game in San Francisco was a guarantee that Barry Bonds would walk at least once and maybe more every game. So, a lot of people, including me, got a rubber chicken and when Barry Bonds was walked, the entire stadium would wave our rubber chickens and do the “chicken dance.” It was great fun.

Now we are watching another chicken dance. The assassination attempt, secretly longed for by stupid Democrats, missed. It not only missed, but Trump also rose defiantly with his fist in the air shouting “fight.” It could not have been choreographed better for Donald Trump.

The response by the MSM was ludicrous and predictable. First many of them didn’t even acknowledge that this was an assassination attempt, that Trump had been hit, but not seriously injured. Some of them reported that Trump fell after hearing a loud noise. CBS reported: “Trump rally shooter killed by Secret Service sniper, official say.” A desperate attempt to distract the attention away from Donald Trump.

It didn’t and won’t work. The shooting was shown on live TV and it was obvious that it was a miracle that Trump wasn’t killed. The bullet came within an inch of his life. The Secret Service did surround Trump and try and shield him from further attack. But he was still able to stick his head up and raise his fist. We are truly fortunate there was no second shooter on site.

Now the finger pointing is underway, and there are a lot of fingers. The Biden Administration is trying to get ahead of this and pretend they are ready, willing, and able to handle this responsibly. Few believe them. Instead, we see that the Secret Service reports to Alejandro Mayorkas, yes that Alejandro Mayorkas. The head of the Secret Service, predictably, is a female, former head of security for PepsiCo on a mission to implement DEI into the Secret Service. The result was three females, looking panicked and ineffective putting on a remarkable display on national TV.

It is also increasingly obvious that there was a total breakdown in security. There is absolutely no excuse or explanation for how this 20-year-old man was able to put himself to take a kill shot at Donald Trump. One problem is that there are reports that the Trump campaign asked for additional security and this was denied. There are reports that some Secret Service agents working on the Trump campaign were reassigned to Jill Biden for an event on the same day. There is video of people, many people, pointing out this guy crawling on a rooftop. Eventually a local police officer climbed a ladder, only to back down when the shooter pointed a rifle at him. Shortly after that the shooter fired at Donald Trump. There are pictures that seem to show that Secret Service Snipers saw this guy, before he fired, but did not act until he had fired. If any of this is true, this will be difficult to explain and impossible to cover up.

In addition, there is all that video of Democrats, including Joe Biden, calling Donald Trump an existential threat to our democracy. Numerous Democrats saying the only thing that mattered was defeating Donald Trump, because he was such a threat to the country. There were even some suggesting that Biden assassinate Trump. This puts all those lawsuits against Trump into perspective. Those now calling for peace and unity were the ones most vocal in demanding the opposite. There is no chance this will work. Just as that debate showed the incompetence of Joe Biden, this shooting showed both the unrelenting hatred of Donald Trump and his own incredible act of courage during the most stressful of occasions. Democrats were stripped naked and exposed on national television, and it may take years, if not decades for them to recovery. No recovery is possible if the current leaders remain in charge.

If Democrats are smart, which is unlikely, heads will roll immediately. They need sacrificial scapegoats so the rest of them can pretend to be surprised and outraged. Instead, I think we will see the political equivalence of the chicken dance, only this time the chickens are coming home to roost.

It was shocking to see President Donald Trump shot, live on National TV. It is a miracle that he was not killed or seriously injured. The good news is that Trump appears to be ok, although he definitely incurred some kind of injury. This is a sad reminder that political assassinations have happened before and they will happen again.

We may never know exactly what happened here, but there are certainly going to be fundamental questions. The Kennedy Assassination happened over 60 years ago, the facts were obvious, but the conspiracy theories, including new theories continue.

There are already reports of people warning both police and the secret service that they saw a man with a gun on that roof top, before the firing. I saw people on TV giving eyewitness accounts of this. At best, this is an unacceptable dereliction of duty. There is a reason Trump has Secret Service protection. At a minimum, these reports should have been given to the Secret Service who could and should have immediately taken action to protect Trump.

There is also a rumor that the snipers there to protect Trump saw the shooter before he shot but did not respond until after he shot. Then he was immediately (conveniently?) killed. If Trump had been killed, and the shooter killed immediately, at least some of his enemies would have considered this a momentous day. Problem solved.

The Secret Service team responded rapidly to protect Trump and get him out of the way. They did a fantastic job. But there is legitimate concern regarding whether all the Secret Service Agents and others at the scene did equally well.

The initial news reports, including on Fox, tried to downplay the possibility of an attempted Assassination. Some even initially reported that Trump dove for cover after hearing loud noises. Fox was more responsible and called this an “incident” and worked hard to figure out what happened. But anyone watching this noticed that Trump appeared to have been hit in the ear and the pictures showed blood streaks across his face. In addition, I immediately recognized the sound of gunfire, with multiple shots. So did other people, including many on site.

Regardless of what happened, this immediately elevated Trump to a whole new level. He was calm, cool, and collected. He was the one who dove for cover when he was hit. When the Secret Service surrounded him to get him off that stage, he calmly asked about his shoes. Then he faced the crowd and pumped his fist. He also did this as he was being shoved into the limousine. He quite literally was someone who remained in control, even under fire. Wow!

The DOJ, the FBI and the Secret Service are already investigating. But when Kennedy was assassinated, there was the establishment of the Warren Commission to investigate because of the obvious importance. We can expect Republicans and smart Democrats to immediately demand a bi-partisan independent commission to investigate this. Few have much faith in either the DOJ, the FBI, and the Secret Service under this administration.

This was a shock but not a surprise. Democrats have been saying Trump is an existential threat to democracy. He has literally been compared to Hitler. Some have even suggested that Biden have him killed. Many have suggested that someone kill him. Those in the media and the DNC filled with Trump derangement syndrome did nothing to condemn these remarks, they encouraged them. The MSM lies about him daily. One Democratic congressman even proposed stripping Trump of Secret Service protection. Even when Democrats were confronted with the obvious incompetence of Joe Biden, their only concern was whether he was still the best person to defeat Donald Trump. The obvious weaponization of our legal system against Trump was ignored, if not embraced, because the only thing that matters to many people is to see Trump destroyed somehow, somewhere.

But, regardless of who planned this, they missed. There is an old saying: “If you shoot at a king, don’t miss.” They missed. This was the shot heard round the world. It was a dumb shot. The country will instantly unite around Donald Trump and the demands for justice will circle the globe.

Joe Biden gave his first press conference in over eight months. There is a reason for that. Joe Biden is just not particularly good at this. Last night was probably a worst-case scenario for Democrats. Those in the Democratic Party who are desperate for him to withdraw from the race would have preferred a public face-plant. That didn’t happen, although Joe Biden had some predictable Joe Biden moments. For example, calling Donald Trump his Vice President was certainly entertaining. But although he still looked old, still slurred his words, and still gave incoherent answers based on lies, that wasn’t enough to convince him or anyone close to him of the need to resign. If anything, Joe looked even more determined to stay the course.

The result is that the DNC is caught in a quagmire of their own creation. They can’t get rid of Joe, any time soon, and every hour this is delayed is a precious hour lost forever. They can’t seriously promote their candidate for President until they have a candidate for President. Right now, few predict that will be Joe Biden and even fewer predict that he would have any chance during the November election.

The following article in the Intelligencer is from a hard-core Democrat infused with Trump Derangement Syndrome. This man not only does not want Trump to win, but he has also drunk the Kool Aid regarding January 6^th, 2021, referring to Trump as a “disgraced coup plotter.” That just makes this even more delicious.

The Democrats Are Making a Terrible Mistake (msn.com)

According to this article democrats are saying, in private conversations, that “they can live with Donald Trump winning.” Perhaps Chait unwittingly, exposed the real problem:

“The party’s organizing basis since the first day Trump took office has been to treat him as a civic emergency. This is the basis for demanding donations, volunteering, and sacrifice. If they are not willing to endure the relatively modest discomfort of a contentious intraparty debate to minimize the chance of a second Trump term, they’ll have broken faith with their supporters.

In the meantime, the result of this paralysis is a crippled Biden dragging a mostly unwilling party to what it regards as certain defeat. Three and a half years ago, one could have imagined Trumpian authoritarianism returning to power in a blaze of violence. Instead, history may record that he took power again when his opposition essentially abdicated.”

The most dangerous lie is the one we tell ourselves. Democrats were too focused on telling lies about Donald Trump that they ignored lies they were telling about and to themselves. They ignored the obvious about Joe Biden and let him cake walk through the primaries with no opposition. Now, only when it is too late, have they finally allowed themselves to see reality. Joe Biden wasn’t destroyed by that debate performance; he was exposed. Even Democrats and the Biden supporters in the MSM admit they weren’t surprised. They were just shocked that this happened on national TV and they accidentally exposed the truth to the entire world. Once seen, it can’t be unseen. Now they live in Tomorrow land, stranded without power, in a land of illusion, with none of the rides working.
