And just like that, Biden was too old -


Don Surber (substack.com)  " Why are they suddenly saying Biden is too old to run for a second term?

"The mugshot didn’t work.

"There. That is the column. It is simple as that. Panic set in and our overlords will sacrifice Biden by throwing him under the Bus of Baal. They must feed the monster to keep President Trump from winning a third consecutive presidential election.

"This week, the media in unison declared Joe Biden is too old to be president. Odd that they discovered this now because he has been a doddering old fool since suffering his aneurisms (plural) 35 years ago.

"The Daily Mail reported, “New York Times and Washington Post BOTH run op-eds branding Biden, 80, too old for office with NYT raising specter of him dying before retiring like Ruth Bader Ginsburg.”

"8 of the 45 previous presidencies ended in death — four died naturally (don’t gorge yourself on cherries, kids) — and the nation survived.

"NYT had Ross Douthat do the deed. He was blatant in wanting Biden out because defeating Trump depends on that.

"Douthat wrote, “Obviously, this is a column about President Biden’s age. But not only about Biden, because America has been running a lot of Buckner experiments of late. Consider the dreadful-for-liberals denouement of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s career, where nobody could tell a lifetime-tenured Supreme Court justice who had survived cancer that it was time to step aside and Democrats were left to talk hopefully about her workout regimen as she tried to outlast Donald Trump. And she almost did — but in the end, her legacy was reshaped and even unmade by a decision to stay too long on the political field.”

"The fear of Biden losing and Trump replacing him like he did Ginsburg is palpable and a rare instance where Washington elitists are right." . . .



Media’s covert protection of scandal-plagued Bidens comes to light and yet they still push president, Hunter’s innocence

 On Wednesday, [Miranda] Devine wrote, “What a desperately presumptuous act it is for the White House Counsel’s Office to blast out a memo ordering media organizations to apply the blowtorch to Republicans and defend President Biden in the impending House impeachment inquiry.” 

"What a desperately presumptuous act it is for the White House Counsel’s Office to blast out a memo ordering media organizations to apply the blowtorch to Republicans and defend President Biden in the impending House impeachment inquiry. 

"The marching orders went out Wednesday morning under a blaring headline: “MEMO TO EDITORIAL LEADERSHIP AT U.S. NEWS MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS.” 

"Ian Sams, the grandly titled special assistant to the president and senior adviser and spokesman for the White House Counsel’s Office, declared: “It’s Time For The ­Media To Do More To Scrutinize House Republicans’ Demonstrably False Claims That They’re Basing Impeachment Stunt On.” 

"Talk about ungrateful. 

"The White House is making overt what has been covert, and humiliating their media handmaidens in the process." . . . 

Hunter Biden admits infamous laptop is his in plea for probe (nypost.com)    "So much for “the laptop ‘could be’ mine.”

"First son Hunter Biden’s lawyers admitted late Wednesday that the infamous laptop that the now-52-year-old abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop in the throes of his crack cocaine addiction does indeed belong to him.

"The revelation came in a petulant letter from Hunter’s lawyers seeking a criminal probe into what they called attempts to “weaponize” its contents.

"In the 14-page letter to Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings, Biden’s attorney Abbe Lowell claimed that repair shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac “unlawfully” accessed Hunter’s laptop data and worked with former President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani to “weaponize” sordid and incriminating contents on it against Joe Biden.

"'This failed dirty political trick directly resulted in the exposure, exploitation, and manipulation of Mr. Biden’s private and personal information,” Lowell wrote." . . .

“This letter is a ridiculous attempt to intimidate that will not succeed. It is the product of desperation by Hunter Biden because they know judgment day is coming for the Biden family,” he said.

Democrat floozies of The View beclown themselves trying to downplay Hunter Biden’s gun charges - American Thinker   "Did anyone remember to give these nasty women the memo that Joe Biden is out—he’s now way too much of a liability to the left—so they don’t have to keep making complete fools out of themselves to cover for the regime?

"Based on a recent segment from the program, it certainly doesn’t look like it.

"From a newly-launched impeachment inquiry over “unproven claims” of Joe’s involvement in certain business dealings, to official firearms charges against Hunter, “it’s been a rough week for the Bidens,” according to Joy Behar, who described the charges as “political retribution.” But first, an attack against President Trump:

He has the vocabulary of a toddler… I think that he is vastly more diminished than, than people see, realize, if you listen to him, he has no words left, and they talk about Biden getting old? This guy can’t, he can’t, put a sentence together.

As the Ronny Reyes for the New York Post noted yesterday:

Rare is the day that President Biden doesn’t tell a lie or garble a sentence, but even by his standards, this week was a mess[.]  . . .


America's Largest Evangelical Magazine Continues to Drift to the Left –

  PJ Media  

I wish I knew what happened to Christianity Today. It’s reminiscent of what we’ve seen in so many large Christian organizations.


"I subscribed to Christianity Today for several years. For over half a century, the magazine and its accompanying website were the best source of news about what’s going on in mainstream Christianity,  not just in America but also throughout the world. Billy Graham founded the magazine in 1956 as an evangelical answer to the mainline magazine The Christian Counterpoint.

"Vital reporting, fascinating features, and thoughtful book and music reviews characterized what Christianity Today was about. One of the most important things about the magazine was that it mostly remained apolitical yet theologically mainstream.

"Rarely did the magazine get explicitly political — except when it came to presidential scandals. In 1974, the magazine stopped short of calling on Richard Nixon to step down. A 1998 editorial criticizing Bill Clinton after his impeachment called him “morally unable to lead,” while in 2019, editor-in-chief Mark Galli, who later dealt with a harassment scandal at the magazine — he said he may have “crossed lines” — wrote that Congress should remove Donald Trump from office after his impeachment.

"But over the years, I started to notice a leftward drift at Christianity Today. From articles about “creation care” that weren’t much different from the rhetoric of the believers in another environmental phrase that contains two words that start with the letter C to heavily featuring and advocating for women in pastoral roles (ignoring millions of complementarian Christians across the world), Christianity Today started to sound more politically and theologically liberal." . . .

Biden Will Veto Military Pay Raise Because It Doesn’t Cater to Climate Change, Transgenders Enough

  Townhall

"The White House condemned the GOP's changes to the bill, claiming the new proposal is unfair to the LGBTQ community and would make "deep cuts to climate change and clean energy programs.' "

"Since day one in office, President Joe Biden has advanced policies that weaken America's military and distract from its core mission of protecting the nation. 

"Biden has continually proposed cuts to the defense budget while sending hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine. The president has also tried to politicize America's armed forces and cater to those who are transgender, pro-abortion, or radical climate change activists. 

"This week, the White House announced Biden will veto a GOP bill that includes military pay raises for soldiers should it pass. 

The House Republican legislation would have given the military's junior enlisted troops a 30 percent raise next year and ensure that no military member would make less than the equivalent of $15 per hour during a 40-hour work week.

" 'If the president were presented with H.R. 4365, he would veto it.," the White House said in a press release, pointing to the lack of Left-wing agenda items such as diversity initiatives, abortion, transgender issues, and climate change. 

" 'The draft bills also include numerous new, partisan policy provisions with devastating consequences, including harming access to reproductive healthcare, threatening the health and safety of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Americans, endangering marriage equality, hindering critical climate change initiatives, and preventing the Administration from promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion," the White House stated.

Biden Claims He Taught Political Theory – Says He Can't Answer Questions Because He'll Get in 'Real Trouble'


 Biden Claims He Taught Political Theory – Says He Can't Answer Questions Because He'll Get in 'Real Trouble' (ijr.com)   "President Joe Biden insists he gave college-level lectures on political theory for several years.

"During an event on Thursday, Biden said, “Democracy is at stake, folks. Our democracy is under attack. And we gotta fight for it.”

" 'I taught at the University of Pennsylvania for four years. And I used to teach political theory. And folks, you always hear every generation has to fight for democracy. And I found myself – it’s automatic, we didn’t have to believe it – but we do,” he added. . ."

WATCH: Trump Says Biden 'Not Too Old' to Be President but Is 'Grossly Incompetent' (breitbart.com)  . . . “No, not old, he’s incompetent. He’s not too old. He’s incompetent,” Trump said of Biden. “And age is interesting, because some people are very sharp and some people do lose it, but you lose it at 40 and 50 also. But no, he’s not too old at all. He’s grossly incompetent.”

“You look at some of the great world leaders. They were in their 80s. And they did — I mean, Churchill, so many people. They were phenomenal in their 80s. You know, there’s a great wisdom, if you’re not in a position like him,” he continued." . . .

 

Call me crazy!

  American Thinker

We've also learned that abortion is really women's health.  How's that working out for the baby?

"To quote Royce White, "Please.  Call me crazy!"  I'm serious.  I can't think of any other reason to explain what's going on in the good old USA. 

"We're told that electricity is the way to go.  Let's replace those old gas-guzzlers with neat-looking E.V.s with lots of LED screens, self-driving software, and more intelligence than most of their drivers.  And gas stoves?  A thing of the past, along with gas water heaters and home heating furnaces.  Bring on those kilowatts, but don't mention that we're retiring continuous-duty coal and gas generating stations so we can have windmills and solar farms that produce electricity for only six to seven hours a day.  And that's on a sunny, windy day.

"Now they're working on adaptors so we can back-feed our homes from our E.V. batteries when the power goes out.  Pure genius!  When the E.V. battery runs out, as it inevitably will,  we can just sit in the dark, since we can't drive to the local motel in a dead E.V.

"I will admit, though, I will defend my DeWalt cordless electric drill with my life.

"But we don't need no stinkin' oil.  We'll adapt.  We really don't need all those other products that use petroleum as a raw material.  I'm sure we'll get used to natural fibers for our clothes,  and those woolen boxers and bras will be just dandy once we get used to them.  No more polyester, nylon, rayon, orlon, Dacron.  No more LL Bean fleeces.  No more plastic anything.  Stop the drilling now!" . . .

New York Turns Against AOC: Protesters Drown Out Congresswoman's Speech with Jeers on Live TV

Just a friendly reminder to New Yorkers that you get what you vote for... Shout down AOC all you want... but you keep voting her back in to office while your city crumbles.   Also here: Democrat from Illinois loves to tweet about how stupid the electorate is, including his own voters

Tim Young (twitter.com) "Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels — a nonprofit group for unarmed crime prevention, later said that Ocasio-Cortez, who has jousted with residents at town meetings in the past, finally was seeing the rage of Americans up close, according to Fox News.

“They’ve allowed an illegal invasion into our city, state, in our country. Politicians only give speeches. So you’re seeing the rage of people,” Sliwa said.

“ 'And AOC – look at her face – ‘All Out Crazy Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ – who encourages this invasion, who stopped Amazon from providing good-paying jobs to Americans – she’s talking about the need for illegals to work. She was stunned because in that crowd she saw moderate Democrats, not just Republicans and independents.”

"Sliwa said there is a big difference between the generations of immigrants who legally came to New York City and the illegal immigrants flocking there now." . . .

Dove Soap Hires BLM Activist, Quickly Gets 'Bud Light' Treatment and Calls for Boycott –

  RedState


"You might have thought that every other American company that witnessed the downfall of Bud Light as the number-one-selling brand of beer in the country after the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco would have made it a point to inform their marketing department, that going woke is not a winning marketing strategy and would not be approved. But going woke does seem to be the latest fad in the marketing industry. The latest brand that is attempting insanity and expecting a different outcome is Dove Soap. Dove is not only facing a boycott, but its entry into the woke arena comes with some serious baggage.

"Last month, Dove Soap began something called the "Fat Liberation campaign," presumably an effort to encourage customers to accept and feel good about their bodies, no matter what they look like. Great idea, sounds good so far. The spokeswoman Dove has partnered with for this campaign is a woman named Zyanha Bryant. Bryant has a history that could be a real problem for Dove Soap. Bryant was a student activist at the University of Virginia and, most notably, a Black Lives Matter activist." . . .

Break the Law Again, You'll Get Two Desserts!

 Ann Coulter

"Comprehensive immigration reform" means amnesty. It has always meant amnesty. It will always mean amnesty. There is nothing else it could mean, except amnesty. 

"Days after Mayor Eric Adams said the migrant crisis was going to "destroy" New York City, we memorialized the last time immigrants tried to destroy it: the 9/11 attack. 

"At least that was a one-time body blow. The city suffered grievously, but survived because, luckily, the immigrants who flew planes into the buildings killed themselves in the process.

"Today's immigrant crisis is never going to end. More than 100,000 migrants have already arrived, and there's no end in sight. With the city rushing to give them handouts -- free housing, "culturally appropriate" meals (three times a day), 24-hour snacks, popcorn machines, TVs, Xbox game consoles, pingpong, foosball tables and phones for making free international calls -- they're not going to stop coming, and it's highly doubtful we can convince them to commit suicide, either.

"We'll be paying to clothe, house and feed them forever. Already, city services are being slashed to take care of the "migrants" (the latest euphemism for illegal aliens). 

"The timing couldn't be better. Apparently, the city has licked crime, homelessness and poverty -- and taxpayers from all over are moving to New York. City services are running like a top, the streets and sidewalks gleam, and 8 million New Yorkers are living in peace and harmony.

"(You know, a lot of black-run cities have gotten a bad reputation lately, but Mayor Adams and district attorney Alvin Bragg have certainly put an end to that stereotype.)

"Still, some city residents would prefer not to have 100,000-plus migrants moving into their parks, playgrounds, schools, soccer fields, streets, hotels, homeless shelters," . . .

The unbridled racism of MSNBC's Joy Reid

 

CNN, MSNBC's ratings collapse due to 'serious credibility problem' covering Biden, experts say | Fox News   "The second quarter of 2021 saw viewers ditch CNN and MSNBC in droves as experts wonder if the liberal networks can ever recover from a "serious credibility problem" they created by relying on former President Donald Trump for success while ignoring internal gaffes and scandals. 

" 'CNN and MSNBC were one-trick ponies, and that trick was bashing Trump," Cornell Law School professor and media critic William A. Jacobson told Fox News."    And Joy Reid's one trick has been to start a race war: blacks against whites.

The unbridled racism of Joy Reid | Washington Examiner  "I am not sure how it is possible, but radical, far-left talk show host Joy Reid gets away with exhibiting some of the most horrific racist rhetoric in media. She consistently makes baseless accusations predicated on people's skin color — particularly white skin color. In an era of politics that allegedly strives for racial equality, Reid does everything she can to remain divisive and bigoted. This week, Reid continued her assault on racial harmony by viciously attacking Kyle Rittenhouse crying during his testimony as "white tears."

" 'In America, there's a thing about both white vigilantism and white tears," Reid said. "Particularly male, white tears. Really white tears in general, because that's what Karens are, right? They can Karen-out and then as soon as they get caught, bring waterworks."

"Reid then compared Rittenhouse to the Supreme Court justice confirmation hearings of Brett Kavanaugh. She essentially said each was faking their tears to hide their guilt and get sympathy from the public. Apparently, according to Reid, white people are to remain emotionless when they are being falsely accused of something horrible and having their reputation destroyed.

In the past several weeks, Reid has upped her usual disdain for white people by using the bigoted and offensive terms "missing white woman syndrome" and "white tears." Reid has an uncanny ability to target white people and specifically focus on their skin color. She is obsessed with white people.

"Reid has stopped criticizing people based on their actions, ideas, principles, and policies. Instead, she ignores facts and reality and jumps to attacking people based on their skin color. Consider there have been plenty of people who have emotionally cried during hearings and court testimonies — people of all races and genders. Yet, Reid felt comfortable demonizing white people because of their race in instances where race had nothing to do with anything. Her hateful rhetoric should be called out for the unbridled bigotry that it is. Furthermore, such things should not be tolerated in 2021, and Reid should be held accountable for her racism." . . .

Durbin was severely ridiculed by Kennedy as RIDICULOUS


 Kennedy is awesome……He’s just a plain-spoken citizen who truly connects with Americans. Love hearing him speak.


Sen. John Kennedy leaves Durbin speechless TORCHING Dems for RACIST attacks on Justice Thomas (watch) – Twitchy     "You wouldn't think Democrats would need a reminder that it's wrong to make racist attacks on a SCOTUS Justice just because you disagree with them in 2023, but here we are. Oh, who are we kidding? It's clear Democrats have never really changed their stripes.*

"They just hide them with promises of 'equity' and the soft bigotry of low expectations, while pointing the finger at Republicans claiming THEY'RE the racists and the parties magically switched places.

"The polling when it comes to Biden has been less than stellar, and it's not new. It's been in trouble since the Afghanistan withdrawal two years ago, but it's tanked in recent months. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll seems to confirm that the bad times are here to stay.

U.S. President Joe Biden's chances of re-election are being jeopardized by voters' concerns over his age, the economy and crime, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, creating an opportunity for Republican challenger Donald Trump to return to the White House.

The opinion poll found Democrat Biden, 80, tied in a hypothetical November 2024 election against Trump, 77, the former president who is the front-runner for the Republican nomination, with both receiving 39% of the vote and one in five voters undecided. 

But in a worrisome result for Biden, Trump held a small advantage in the seven states where the 2020 presidential election was closest: Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Nevada and Michigan. In those states, Trump led with 41% to Biden's 35%, and 24% undecided.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted online nationwide from Sept. 8 through Sept. 14, gathering responses from 4,413 U.S. adults. It had a credibility interval, a measure of precision, of about 2 percentage points.
