It’s almost like folks are starting to realize that, sooner or later, the Democrats are going to get us all killed with their gain of function science, shrinkflation, proxy warmongering, mandatory medicines, wide-open borders, no-bail policies, and defunding police. People are voting for self-interest issues far beyond their personal pocketbook problems.

On Wednesday, a squadron of Russian ships, including a frigate capable of firing hypersonic missiles will arrive in Cuba as part of an international partnership program. A nuclear-powered and capable submarine will also be making the trip, along with support vessels.

Apparently, the Biden escalation escalator goes all the way to the top floor. It’s not enough to keep poking the Russian Bear; like a deranged hobo lashing out at anyone who walks by, Biden also insists on prodding the Chinese Dragon. On Monday, Business Insider ran a story headlined, “The US military has a plan to turn the Taiwan Strait into an 'unmanned hellscape' if China invades, top admiral says.”

No White House since the Richard Nixon administration ever employed 500 staffers until Biden became president. The Biden White House employed 560 in FY2021; 474 in FY2022; 524 in FY2023; and the headcount increased by 41, to 565 this year.

Biden employs 152 more staffers than Trump (413) (FY2020) and 97 more than Obama (468) (FY2012) at the same point in their respective presidencies.

Yesterday, President Generic Vegetable held what the White House disastrously called a “big boy” press conference — I am not making that up — and gaslighting corporate media mostly rated his performance at a six-point-five out of ten. But Joe’s regular-as-clockwork gaffes are now part of the entreé.

We begin with this fantastic headline and cover pic from the rollicking crew at the UK Daily Mail:




... Biden’s “big boy” press conference might be remembered better not for Joe’s malapropisms, but rather for the crowd’s reaction to them. Shortly before the press conference, Joe awkwardly introduced Ukraine’s former President Zelensky as “President Putin,” and the poor Eastern European bureaucrat’s facial expression was a mixture of sudden alarm and panic. ...

Continuing the theme, later in the presser Biden labeled Kamala Harris “Vice President Trump.” The camera panned to his frozen cabinet, doing their best impressions of gothic statuary, but — their eyes. Their eyes gave it away. They clearly all wished they were anywhere else, willing their souls to leave their bodies and join Lloyd Austin’s unannounced visit to the hospital quiet room back in December, or perhaps mentally rehearsing their parole release appeal speeches. ..

True to form, the next drip dropped yesterday in a widely reported story that showed up in The Hill, headlined “Milwaukee radio station edited Biden interview before air, at campaign’s request.” The gist was that Biden’s handlers requested removal of two short segments of President Vegetable yammering semi-coherently about black folks, and the station obliged.

But the delayed disclosure of the deleted tapes was even worse for Biden than just airing the awkward segments would have been. Now, the two gaffes are getting even more attention than they would have otherwise, what with the Administration’s failed, Nixonian coverup.

What were the edited out remarks?

The discussion of how the shooting affects presidential politics began within minutes. Axios ran a story this morning headlined, “Biden campaign faces delicate moment after shocking attack on Trump.” It reported that Biden’s campaign has understandably pulled down its campaign ads, since they universally described Trump as a Hitlerian dictator who must be stopped at all costs.

At minimum, it appears the Biden Campaign must develop a new slogan. ...

At least two lifelong democrat billionaires, already leaning Republican, were moved by the emotions of last night’s events to formally endorse Trump for President. Bill Ackman, CEO of Pershing Capital... And Elon Musk, who has been working himself up to it, but had not yet formally endorsed the President ...
