The Next Two Weeks

We’re entering the last two weeks of Joe Biden’s ’24 presidential campaign, and two weeks may be a stretch. The Republican Convention will be over, and the vice-presidential candidate set. Picking one of the names bandied about today, Marco Rubio, Doug Burgum, J.D. Vance, Tom Cotton, Tim Scott, Elise Stefanik, and Dr. Ben Carson add nothing to Trump’s electability. Only Burgum and Carson have government executive experience. The rest are legislators.

Setting the Republican ticket in stone will bring forth Democrat’s actual choices. No Joe or Kamala, but one with a woman in the top spot. Nikki Haley sounded the warning by saying, “They are going to be smart about it: they’re going to bring somebody younger, they’re going to bring somebody vibrant, they’re going to bring somebody tested,” she said. “This is a time for Republicans to prepare and get ready for what’s to come because there is no way that there will be a surviving Democratic Party if they allow Joe Biden to continue to be the candidate.”

Anyone following this blog knows I have long predicted what is now unfolding. Anytime after Trump announces his vice-presidential choice, Biden will announce his withdrawal and release his delegates. This action during the Republican convention will dominate the news and deprive the GOP of media attention during their big show. All the attention will be on who the Democrats nominate.

The Debate Presents Big Questions

The debate unfolded as I had foreseen but with even more dramatic results. As anticipated, Biden’s performance that night revealed his vulnerabilities, leading to a swift abandonment by many of the party’s leaders and media supporters the following day. The critical difference is that Biden’s unsuitability was starkly exposed, prompting an immediate exodus. This outcome aligns with our suspicion of a plan to replace Joe with a candidate perceived as more competent at the top of the ticket. Nearly a year ago, in my post, ‘Why Republicans Lose,’ I outlined how, once Trump secured the Republican nomination, the Democrats would discard the weak old Joe and his baggage and nominate a fresh, younger candidate.

While some still resist the idea of a new ticket, their numbers are

thinning faster than those on Ozempic. The Democrats are not about to concede any election. As I’ve stated, for Democrats, politics is a blood sport, while for Republicans, it’s a pastime. Most Democrats rely on their ties to the state, whether directly or indirectly. They will seize any opportunity to win. With Biden, the best they can hope for is a lame duck for four years, and only if he manages to win.

A new ticket significantly enhances their chances of victory, and this triumph could pave the way for eight years of unchallenged dominance. Try convincing us again that the Democrats are standing by Joe. It’s only a matter of time before everyone realizes that replacing Biden was always part of the plan.

Short Time Till We Find Out Who Is Running In ’24

As we approach the First Presidential Debate, a pivotal event less than two weeks away, we find ourselves in the middle of June with a nation in disarray. This condition is primarily a result of an administration on its last legs, leaving behind a legacy of significant failures. The abrupt Afgan pullout has emboldened our adversaries, leading to ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, all due to our reluctance to confront the wrongdoers.

Overspending has resulted in the highest inflation in forty years. Illegal entrants overrun our borders, and shipping them across the nation is bankrupting many communities. No one feels safe in many of our greatest cities, and antisemitism runs rampant in Universities and on city streets.

When Joe Biden steps into the debate room, it will be his swan song. Even if he tries to project energy and vigor to dispel the notion that he’s a political corpse, it won’t hide that his record is one that only our worst president, James Buchanan, would applaud. The responsibility for these failures is clear, and it’s a burden he carries with him, like a second skin.

Confirmation of Biden’s political demise will come right after the Debate. Typically, even if a Democratic candidate has a horrible night, the legacy media will loudly applaud the performance while in unison declaring the Republican sucked. This time, they’ll be highly critical and concerned. Joe did his best, but he didn’t have it. If he’s this bad now, he’ll only get worse.

Chances are high Joe is in for a stormy debate night. Defending his record of failures is bad enough, but his DOJ handed Trump a club to beat him. By entering Hunter Biden’s laptop into evidence in the gun trial, they verified its contents for all to see.

The Roadmap To Conviction

We now have a roadmap for convicting your political opposition in court. First, locate a state under the control of your party. Then, find the counties where nine out of ten voted your way. Choose the one where the county attorney is determined to get the other side. Charge your opponent with a felony. If t you can’t readily find a crme, put some stuff together that appears it might add up to a felony. Top it off by assigning the case to a judge on record of supporting your side and against the opposition.

With the judge in the prosecutor’s corner, there is no need for the niceties of due process, such as informing the defendant of the nature of the charges. If you can get some unrelated salacious details to embarrass the defendant, so much the better. Make sure you have some lawyers on the jury. The other jurors will look to them for guidance—people who make their living before judges with our party label aren’t about chance an acquittal. Everyone, including judges, will know how they voted. The rest of the jury may feel similar pressure from friends, family, and employers. Bingo, you have your conviction.

Overturning the conviction may eventually occur, but that will probably be well after we win the election. Remember the Ted Stevens case. Vindicated after finding breathtaking prosecutorial misconduct, unfortunately, as a convicted felon, he lost re-election. With his loss, the Democrats had a Senate majority and passed Obamacare. Wiping his record clean occurred only after the release of the Schuelke report but only after damage. The lesson is that even if we lose on appeal, we’ll already win the prize.  

The problem with this unethical recipe is both sides can use it. A county prosecutor in a Red state gets a grand jury to indict a state resident who is one of the fifty-one retired intelligence officials signing the letter claiming the Hunter Biden Laptop was likely Russian disinformation—the charge of conspiring with others to deny the state’s voters vital information fraudulently.

The other signers, Anthony Blinkin, who originated the plot, and his boss, Joe Biden, are also indicted as co-conspirators. While state election law may or may not be a felony, linking it to a fraudulent conspiracy will do the job. Indict anybody else found having a hand in the fraud, too, including government agents, such as the FBI, who pressured the media to suppress the story.

Including underlings, this large cast may contain some willing to turn state’s evidence to save themselves or their money. This case keeps getting better.

Are Things Getting Even Stranger?

I’ve reached a point where I realize the administration and its media heralds’ approach to the Gaza War has reached the same state of incoherence as their actions in Afghanistan and Ukraine. After a promising start, the former ended in catastrophe, and the latter is headed in the same direction. 

They demand Israel institute a civilian Gazan government before the war is over. Imagine attempting this approach in Nazi Germany while a good part of the Wehrmacht is still intact. The idea of Mahmoud Abbas stepping in to rule the strip is laughable. The Gazans chased his Fatah-ruled Palestinian Authority out shortly after the Israelis left Gaza in 2005.

Producing a reformed, newly constituted Palestinian Authority, even if possible, would take considerable time. Who would rule until then? A coalition of Arab states? How long would that take?

Even if you put some government in place, how would it enforce its rules? Hamas still has an estimated ten to twenty thousand heavily armed fighters. Where are the police or troops going to come from to stop Hamas from continuing to attack Israel or take over the new government?

The U.S. Army recommends 20-25 counterinsurgents to every 1,000 residents. The Gaza population of around 2 million requires 40,000 troops to suppress an armed insurrection. Exactly where are these troops coming from to duke it out with Hamas? Israel isn’t about to accept a Palestinian force of that size. The vast majority of Palestinians support Hamas’s October 7 attack. Such a force might join forces with Hamas and attack Israel. 

Has anyone heard from any Arab nations volunteering substantial military? Even if they did, would they take on a heavily armed opponent?
