Well…it has been quite an eventful week, hasn’t it? From the collection of happenings, I want to draw out the Big Debate and the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) decisions. After that, we’ll season the mix with some various articles about the world we are living in.
CNN staged a rather balanced and
responsible debate for our presidential candidates. I like the new protocols and hope they will
remain in place. For anyone who has been
paying attention, the pathetic performance by President Biden was no
surprise. This is what he is and it was
a colossal miscalculation on his handlers’ part to put him on that stage. What
the hell were they thinking? As for Trump, he showed about as much
discipline as he could possibly muster.
In spite of all his misstatements and bluster, he won hands down by just
showing up and staying in control. I
have been on record as saying that Trump could not win this election, but that
he could surely lose it. He did not
contribute to the “losing it” cause.
Miracles
do happen and the future is certainly uncertain, but it is hard to imagine any
scenario under which Biden’s political image could be resurrected in the next
four months. It strikes me that the
Democrats are now faced with two choices.
I do not believe that they can force Biden to step down from the
nomination against his will; that is simply a bridge too far. If he
remains the nominee, I expect the Party will go through the motions of
supporting him during his campaign, but they will shift the majority of their
resources (money and people) towards
maintaining a Senate majority and an attempt to gain control of the House.
If Biden does withdraw
from his nomination, it is difficult to see how the Democrat Party can select
anyone except Vice-President Kamala Harris.
The plain and simple fact is that their bench is thin and she is
entitled. She was likely placed in her
current position through the auspices of Obama and the Democrats have clearly
painted themselves in a corner. The
polls seem to indicate that either Harris or Newsom would be weaker (if that can be imagined) against Trump
than Biden…but I don’t buy this.
I
have to believe that if Biden were to step down, the liberal/progressive cabal
would throw all they have and all they can mortgage into reinventing Kamala Harris as the new image for Hope and Change: https://reason.com/2024/06/28/kamala-harris-was-the-real-winner-of-last-nights-debate/
. If this were to occur, it would be a
huge mistake for the Republican Party and Donald Trump to underestimate the
potential for them to sneak her across the finish line in first place. They should never forget: They are ahead not because Trump is that good. They are ahead because Biden is that bad.
Many
people were kept unaware of Joe Biden’s actual physical and mental deficiencies
leading up to this debate and the liberal/progressive elements can, over a
fairly short period of four months, pretty effectively shelter and reinvent
Kamala Harris into something she clearly is not. Do not kid yourself. They
did it for three and a half years with Biden; they can do it for sixteen weeks
with Harris.
Two
more quick thoughts on the debate… I doubt very much there will be a second
debate, unless Biden is replaced as the Democrat nominee. The only possible
gain in a second debate between Biden and Trump would lie with the Democrats
and the Republicans would be crazy to give them the opportunity to recover from
this week’s disaster.
Secondly,
I must still wonder what if that had been Ron DeSantis… or Nikki Haley…or Glenn
Youngkin up on that debate stage instead of Donald Trump? If that had occurred, you could pretty much
rest assured that the results of this November’s presidential election would be
chiseled in stone foretelling a resounding Republican victory. It would appear that is likely anyway, but
with Donald Trump…the threat of internal implosion is always a
possibility. For all of his
entertainment value, Donald Trump remains a pompous ass. Is he a better choice for president than Joe
Biden? ...YES, absolutely. The Republican Party could have done better, they should
have done better, and the lost
opportunity will cost them dearly in the long run. The Republican Party and Republican voters have made their bed and they will now sleep
in it.

Both
of these candidates are simply too old to serve as our nation’s Commander in
Chief. Our government is riddled with
individuals who have overstayed their productive terms in public service: https://reason.com/2024/06/28/joe-biden-the-latest-elderly-politician-who-refuses-to-retire/
This week, the SCOTUS announced a
series of decisions that move our nation dramatically closer to the
Constitutional foundation upon which it was built. It reined in outrageous legal mission creep with its January 6 decision. It helped to restore a balance of power and called out autocratic Executive Branch
overreach with its Chevron decision. And
with a third decision, it further recognized the fundamental rights of communities to pass and enforce reasonable laws that insure a safe and
secure environment for its residents. It
is cause for celebration when these SCOTUS decisions come down in multiples
that make you want to stand up and cheer.
We can only hope that if Trump wins, the conservative majority on this
court will not only be preserved, but will likely be enhanced. Here are three decisions worthy of
celebration.

Now
we can move on to some other stories making the rounds these days. It
seems that when the liberal/progressive appendages pull one of their corruptive
schemes and they are finally exposed for their dishonesty, they somehow and
invariably escape any accountability whatsoever. Such is the case with the
infamous Hunter Biden laptop letter that was released just prior to the second-most recent Biden/Trump debate in
an effort to aid Biden. By the time the
truth came out, sufficient time had passed for most folks to forget about it
and all those involved simply skated away to further mischief. The damage was done.
I
thought it was revealing that just prior to this week’s Biden/Trump debate; a
similar ploy was initiated by some liberal/progressive economists in an effort
to provide Biden some cover for his disastrous economic policies. It seems that perhaps insufficient time had
passed since their last effort for this most recent one to have any
effect.
The
truly frightening thing about these shenanigans is not that they get away with
it and that the mainstream media provides support for them; it is the fact that much of this bullshit is
actually sanctioned and administered by people who are part of our existing
government. This is federal
corruption at its most extreme and these people should be condemned, punished,
and never again allowed within ten feet of a government office.

The Obama administrations were
among the most corrupt in the history of our nation. It should therefore be no great surprise that
The One’s protégé, Joe Biden, would
follow suit when given his turn at the Executive Branch. That
same corruption… that same incompetence…and the woken idiocy that is woven into
it…it all lives on today in the Biden Administration.

Here are two fundamentally wrong things
about our world that…tragically… are
not likely to change in the near future…
Mainstream media bias and
politicization: https://jonathanturley.org/2024/06/25/cannon-fodder-the-media-piles-on-federal-judge-after-lionizing-manhattan-judge/
The irresponsible, inexplicable,
and absolutely unforgiveable way that our Congress and our Presidents handle
our federal budget…
