The Drudge Report burst on the national scene during the Clinton administration. It was the only news aggregator website that reported honestly on the Monica Lewinsky affair. The end result was the impeachment of Bill Clinton, with an acquittal by the U.S. Senate. He was acquitted because the same Democratic Senators who agreed that he had disgraced the Office of President of the United States, voted to keep him because they wanted to keep political power. The rational was that this was just about sex, so it didn’t matter.
For a long time the Drudge Report was predictably conservative. But then something happened, and it switched to becoming very liberal. In recent years the Drudge Report always started with serious shots against Donald Trump. The editors hated Donald Trump with a passion, and it showed. It got so bad that for a long time, I just ignored Drudge because it had become unreadable. That all changed yesterday. Here is a link to that article:

MUMBLING IN HANOI, PRESIDENT’S STRANGE BEHAVIOR, PRESS CONFERENCE CRAZY!
Then today:
IRAN DEAL ON 9/11 USA SWAPS PRISONERS RELEASES $6 BILLION
This reminds me of when Walter Cronkite reported from Vietnam that we were caught in a quagmire. Cronkite was wrong, but when President Johnson heard that he commented that if he had lost Cronkite, he had lost the country. Well President Biden just lost Drudge and this could be history repeating itself.
This is not that Drudge is that powerful. Those days are long gone. But Drudge has been carrying the anti-Trump torch for what seems like forever. That has clearly changed and whether Drudge is leading that change or just reporting on that change doesn’t really matter. What matters is that the tide has changed and like most storm surges, this one is guaranteed to do massive damage.
Now when you add in the “Impeachment Query” in the House things are heating up at record levels. So far Democrats and their fawning supporters in the MSM are still trying to spin cover for Joe Biden. But I doubt very many people will buy this. The problem is compounded by the enthusiastic cheering by Democrats and the MSM for indicting Trump for every crime imaginable regardless of the facts or evidence. The hypocrisy is over the moon and increasingly impossible to ignore.
History has a way of changing the way people thought they thought previously. Let me explain. When Kennedy was President, he was not actually that popular. He barely beat Richard Nixon probably because of outright fraud during the 1960 election in Chicago. (Sound familiar?). But after he was shot, a huge percentage of people said they had voted for him. Obviously, that was not true. The same thing happened after Lincoln was shot. He had widespread opposition, even among his own party while in office. But when he was shot, he instantly became the most popular President in history, with the possible exception of George Washington.
Only this time, the opposite will happen. Soon no one will want to accept the “credit” for selecting Joe Biden to be President and Kamala Harris to be Vice President. The speed at which wise people will start to abandon this sinking ship of state is going to be unprecedented. That will include a surprising number of top Democrats and news anchors in the MSM forced to accept the obvious reality of Joe Biden. He will remain oblivious to the obvious, but no one expects him to be a major factor in the future and even if they like him and want him, the end is near.
In many ways this reminds me of the Monday Night Football game between the Jets and the Bills. Prior to the game the announcers all foamed at the mouth in their effusive praise of all things Aaron Rodgers and how the greatest quarterback ever would lead the Jets to the Super Bowl. He suffered a season ending injury during the first series of downs. Regardless of anyone’s hopes and expectations, and whether fair or not, Aaron Rodgers is no longer part of the equation for a long, long time, if ever.
Ask yourself a simple question. Would you rather be the General Manager of the Jets, who gave away everything to get Aaron Rodgers? Or the General Manager of the Green Bay Packers who “lost” him?
