Biden's Out, But So What?

By Rich Kozlovich

Well, Biden's out, which actually came as a surprise to me, I never thought he'd quit.  But now that Biden has dropped out, it will be interesting to see how this all plays out, especially since he's endorsed Kamala Harris, which means she can utilize that 250 million in campaign contributions to the Biden/Harris ticket.  But how many states have passed the deadline to change the ballot?  If they're Democrat run states, it won't matter, they'll merely change the law to make an exception for this election.  

A recent poll that had Biden just three points behind Trump was hilariously laughable, and at one at point one poll claimed Biden had a ten point lead, and Biden's dropped out, imagine that.

The fact is Biden’s campaign was totally unstable, and couldn't be stabilized.  How can a leader with a brain of mush stabilize anything?  But, I don’t see anyone being touted by the media, other than Harris, who really want to replace him in light of all that’s going on either, including Hillary!   She’d love to be “the one” again, and she’s stupid enough, but I've no doubt Billy will convince her to stay home and do the thing she does best.  Shoot off her mouth, sound stupid, and lie.

Except for Harris, there’s no gain, and, she’s done anyway. If any of them jump into this to take his place, any future political dreams they may have are done also, since other than Michelle, they’re all white and she’s…almost black… in the Democrat party that would be suicidal. And Michelle isn’t going to run. 

The fact is the Biden campaign wasn't unstable just because of Biden, it's a Democrat campaign, run by a Democrat engine, and  you can’t stabilize an engine with a broken timing chain no matter how hard you may try, so let's review.

There's a lot of talk about the 2024 election political strategy of the Democrat party, and here's the actual political strategy of the Democrat party.  

Bureaucratic corruption and treason, censorship, disbarment, lawfare, lies of omission, lies of commission, media corruption, projection,  violence, and their number one go to strategy:  Voter fraud!  

Let's talk about projection.  Projection is a psychological ploy where someone "projects" what they're doing onto some else.  According to someone named Obeidallah the GOP is a ‘Fascist movement’ willing to use violence to acquire power, claiming January 6th was an terrorist movement.  

A terrorist movement were there was no or little physical property damage, no one was killed except an innocent girl by a cop?  Now that the Republicans have taken over the House investigations the lies of the illegally constituted House January 6th committee, are being exposed.  When this is all over some of them may end up in prison. 

But all the Antifa, BLM, and other leftist riots where they destroyed property, attacked journalists, policemen, innocent citizens, all of which was done by leftists supporters of the Democrat party wasn't really violence!  Noooo, it was mostly peaceful, and it was just freedom of speech, not an insurrection.  

Here is a list of the  Top 10 Things Democrat Politicians Are Guilty of Doing That They’re Accusing Trump of Doing:

  1. Election corruption (CCP-Biden-marked mail-in ballots, Dominion Voting machine flipping, dead people voting, illegal immigrants voting, Democrats voting multiple times in multiple states, etc.)
  2. Quid-pro-quo (coercion) of Ukraine
  3. Sex Crimes (compare the “dossier” to child trafficking using open borders and war chaos). Also consider the $17 million in taxpayer money paid out to cover up sexual harassment charges against our Congress.
  4. Storing classified documents loosely at home or personal office (Biden is guilty and, unlike Trump, never had the authority to be in possession of said documents.)
  5. Contesting elections (only Democrats can investigate election corruption)
  6. Destroying democracy (dismantling infrastructure, curriculum and the constitution)
  7. Propagating riots (think Jan. 6th with cops gas-bombing and killing protesters)
  8. Fascism (the real fascists run the nation now, including Obama and Soros)
  9. Racism (CRT, gender “fluidity”, race-baiting, restitution, BLM, Antifa, etc.)
  10. Embezzling (check the Military Industrial Complex and Medical Industrial Complex)

That's the tip of the iceberg.

Why do Democrats hate white rural America so much? - It would be a grave understatement to suggest that the mainstream media are biased in favor of the Democrats......Words such as “collusion” and “insurrection” didn’t become the de facto terminology by coincidence.  An adept wordsmith among the Democrats supplied these terms, and the media obediently repeated them.......The instances of bigotry are numerous. Hollywood, especially in recent times, has been disdainful of rural America.  But following Trump’s election, the venom was blatant. The Democrats had dehumanized Trump-supporters, who they think are primarily white rural Americans, to such an extent that they no longer care to conceal their hatred. Why the hatred? The Democrats view voters as subjects who need to be controlled rather than citizens to whom they are accountable.  Their object is to rule (not govern). They see these dissenting white rural voters as impediments to their permanence of power................

Democrat Party, Inc. I have said numerous times in other articles that the Democrat Party is no longer a political party. They are a criminal organization, a crime organization like no other. They have the reigns of government and are not about to let them go, legally or otherwise. They want power and money, and little else matters. .

The Anti-Christian Mind of the Democrat Party David R. Carlin Some Democrats will insist that the party is not anti-religious, or anti-Christian. But pay attention to what the party does, not what its surrogates say....

If that's their history, and the foundation for their programs, and it is, and is just the tip of the iceberg, and it is, that's an engine with a broken timing chain for most of America.   Why would anyone think they could jump into that mess and restart an engine with a broken timing chain?

There's talk Whitmer, Newsom, Pritzker, and even Buttigieg wants to be President of the United States, and their failures are legendary, especially Newsome.  There's Wes Moore, who is a bit impressive, on paper, but I've been told that's all smoke and mirrors, and if he jumps in, that will end.   And I don't care what all the "experts" claim, I don't believe for a minute Michelle Obama wants the job.  

The fact is, the White House is lost to the Democrats, and their focus, and the focus of their donors, will be on the down card in hopes of keeping their jobs.  Some of them are gone already, donors or no donors.   

Woman Who Helped Raise Millions for Obama Leaves Democrat Party, Declares Support for Trump

Here was my 2024 election analysis for the out come of the Senate back in February, which seems to be proving accurate, and it may even be better after all this.  In the meanwhile, to repeat an oft stated meme these days, "break out the popcorn", it's going to get interesting.

Long-Shot Presidential Candidates

June 9, 2023 By Robin M. Itzler

There are several reasons why long-shot marginal candidates, even those with name recognition, run in presidential primaries.

  • They want “former presidential candidate” on their resume, which can increase speaker fees.
  • They’re promoting a new book.
  • They need national exposure to raise money for future campaigns or endeavors.
  • They want to make history, such as being the first [  fill in the blank  ] to run for president. In 1972, long-shot candidate Rep. Shirley Chisholm was the first black to run for the Democrat nomination. Chisholm generated a lot of media attention and spoke at the DNC convention.
  • They want to participate in at least one debate where they can promote specific policy positions.
  • They have been encouraged to run by social media followers. Marianne Williamson, running in the Democrat primary, has a half-million TikTok followers. Vivek Ramaswamy, on the Republican side, has 180,000 TikTok followers.
  • They are so über rich that they can afford to finance their own campaign. Steve Forbes spent $70 million of his family fortune running for the Republican nomination in 1996 and 2000. In 2016, Carly Fiorina spent $25 million of her own money to do the same. Billionaire Michael Bloomberg spent $558 million just on television ads even as his quest for the White House quickly crashed. For 2024, Trump and Ramaswamy are using much of their own wealth to fund their campaigns.
  • Their spouses want to be First Lady or First Gentleman—even if the spousal candidate has health issues. (For more details, google Jill Biden or Giselle Fetterman.)

And then there’s Harold Stassen

Long-shot presidential candidates sometimes run once and move on when their campaign ends, having achieved their goals or spent their money. Others consider the initial run a launching pad and try again four years later. But few are like Republican Minnesota Governor Harold Stassen. He was elected to the governorship in 1938 at age 31 and ran for president every four years thereafter, starting in 1940 until 1992. In “Long Shots Part 2: Why Do They Do It?” Eric Felten and Carl M. Cannon of Real Clear Politics write:

…Stassen started as a serious politician, and became a running joke, mostly by mounting quixotic presidential campaigns again and again and again. More than that, actually. Stassen ran as a “favorite son” candidate in 1940, apparently to get a top speaking slot at the Republican National Convention. He gave a nice speech and endorsed GOP nominee Wendell Willkie. He reprised his effort in 1944. He ran in the 1948 campaign, too, making the cover of Time magazine and coming close to getting the Republican nomination.

But Harold Stassen wasn’t a man who knew when to quit. He ran again in 1952, 1964, and 1968 (against Pat Paulsen, among others). He wasn’t much of a threat to Richard Nixon, but the strength of the GOP nominee wasn’t his primary concern or Stassen wouldn’t have run against Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984. His last two campaigns were in 1988 and 1992, a Harold Stassen presidential candidacy by then being as certain a quadrennial event as the Olympics. And though Stassen grew defensive about it, his seriousness of purpose never went away.

“I know I’ve had an impact, that some things I’ve done have really counted for world peace, for the passion of the individual,” Stassen said late in his career. “I sometimes wish people would ask not how many times I’ve run a political campaign, but how many times I’ve been right on the issues.”

2024 presidential campaign

Long-shot candidates are often helped by the unwitting actions of other candidates. For instance, Joe Biden is immensely helping Democrat Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Many political observers believe Biden will not be the Democrat nominee and is just a placeholder. Polls show a plurality of Democrats do not want Joe to run again because of (check all that apply):

  • Mental health acuity-dementia issues.
  • Age, as he would be 87 years old at the end of his second term.
  • Policies lean too far toward Marxism.
  • Corrupt (e.g., the Biden crime family).

However, the longer Joey stays in the race, the more difficult it becomes for undeclared candidates to announce, and that enormously helps Kennedy who continues to campaign. Three Democrats who are itching to run for president are:

  • Vice President of Word Salads Kamala Harris
  • California Governor Gavin “Hair Gel” Newsom
  • Secretary of No Transportation Pete Buttigieg

In the meantime, as they dither, long-shot Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. grows his base by holding rallies, speaking on TV and radio programs (including conservative shows), writing op-eds, giving interviews, and posting on social media, although far-left big tech has made it difficult, but not impossible for him to get his message out.

It must be wonderful having so much money and/or support that you can regularly run for president. At least you know you are running. We can’t say the same about Joe Biden who often introduces Vice President Harris as president, shakes hands with the air, yells during speeches, walks aimlessly on the stage following speeches, frequently falls, and responds to reporter’s questions by turning away.

As the 2024 presidential campaign continues along, it might be time for me to announce that I am running for president. I would be a long-shot candidate (but still with better chances than Chris Christie), but “Robin Itzler, former presidential candidate,” would look so cool on my business card.

The Brilliance of Democrats

By Rational Db8

It is really incredible that the Dems manage to find the caliber of candidate for President that they do, time and again. I mean there have been: 

  1. Creepy gropin' crazy Uncle Quid Pro Quo Slow Alzheimer Joe 'I love it when kids rub my wet leg hairs down, jump on my lap, and watch it rise again' Biden, sometimes affectionately known as "Racist Plagiarism Plugs".
  2. Mini Mike "Big Gulp, Lemme Frisk You - and I'm great at plagiarizing policies too!" 
  3. Bloomy, Hillary "the FBI certified me as too stupid and corrupt to handle national security documents, I want to be president! Oh, and never mind those thousands of slam dunk felonies to my name".
  4. Clinton, aka Quid Pro Dough Felonia Von Pantsuit William "Slick Willy Teflon Cigar" Clinton.
  5. Barack "I'm god, will fundamentally change America into a socialist cesspool AND stop the rise of the seas" O'bow'ma.
  6. Al "I'm such a great con man I can suck hundreds of millions off you rubes by pretending AGW is real even tho I'm scientifically illiterate" Goricle (Goricle = Gore + Icicle since anywhere he goes it turns unseasonably cold).
  7. Ketchup John Swiftboat "I love conspiring with the enemy" Kerry, sometimes affectionately known as "Lurch," 'who, by the way, served in Vietnam.' 
  8. Bernie "I'm an ancient curmudgeon with no accomplishments to my name other than getting elected, an unconstitutional socialist, and racist anti-semite from top to bottom!" Sanders.
  9. Fauxcahontas, aka Liarwatha Running Joke Saint 
  10. Boo-Boo Baby Buttigieg - 'I couldn't even run a small town, let me run the entire nation!' 
  11. Amy "Bobblehead" Klobachar.
  12. Beto "I'm a fake Hispanic, LUV dressing up as a sheep and singing in the worst band ever, all when I'm not doing vehicular hit and runs" O'Rourke.
  13. Cory "Spartacus" Booker.
  14. Senator Kamala "I sleep my way to the top!" Harris.
  15. Screamin' Howard "YAAAAAAAAaaaaaa!!!" Dean.
  16.  Jimmah "I'm a peanut fahmah - NOT a nuclur expert, contrary to reports" Cahtah.
  17. Michael "Zorba the Clerk, look at me - I can ride a tank! " Dukakis. 
  18. The Breck Girl, John "I feel pretty - gotta have my $1,250 haircut!" Edwards, so I look good while banging my mistress on the plane as my wife is dying.
  19. Heck, they even had Al "race baiter extraordinaire who actually got people killed, a $4.5 million tax cheat" Sharpton as a presidential candidate one year. 
  20.  And let's not forget his good buddy, fellow race baiter Jesse "I hate [I'd quote what he said about NY City Jews, but the automatic filters stop the post then!]!" Jaaak-suun, etc., etc., etc. 
  21. Next thing you know, they'll be running Alexandria "commie barbie - my IQ test was negative!" Ocasio-Cortez for president, regardless of the fact that she's proven to be entirely Factose Intolerant! 
  22. That, or good ol' Mad Max "Impeach fortified" Waters. 
  23.  Hank "islands tip over and sink if overpopulated" Johnson. 

It's mind boggling that out of 340+ million people, these are the BEST the Dems can come up with - and they actually seem to think they're competent - and they're willing to actually vote for them rather than laughing them off the stage on day one!
