Biden Family Discussing Exit Plans - Are Deals Being Made?

 Ward Clark – RedState

"There is almost certainly some negotiation going on, and if Joe does back out, we'll probably never know the extent of any deals that were made to grease Joe Biden's skids."


"Sherlock Holmes likely couldn't make heads or tails out of the twisted, torturous convolutions surrounding the Biden campaign and old Joe's possible exit from the 2024 election. White House insiders are insisting he's staying in the race, while more and more national Democrat figures are demanding he should drop out — although few Democrats can hammer the square "Joe Biden isn't capable enough to be our candidate" peg into the round "Joe Biden is capable enough to remain in place as President of the United States" hole.

"Now it's getting closer to home for old Joe; the word is his family is discussing possible exit plans." . . .

"Here's the thing: Joe Biden and his handlers will insist he's staying in the race...right up until they announce that he isn't, and that applies to the Biden family as well. And that begs the question: What kind of deals will be made to compensate the Biden family for the loss of influence resulting from no longer having their patriarch in power? If Joe Biden's career and his family's business ventures have shown us nothing else, they have shown us that influence is a valuable commodity, one that people in various places in the world (Ukraine, China) are willing to pay for.

"Could there be some bargaining to try, in some way, to protect Hunter, who may be looking at a term in the crowbar hotel? Could they be negotiating for someone to pressure a major upholstery fabric manufacturer to give a steep discount to Jill's dress designer? What kinds of deals might be made?" . . .

He must immediately stop referring to the former president as a “convicted felon,” as that judgment has not yet been entered and may be reversed from the bench based on the Supreme Court’s recent immunity ruling, with hearings pending. 

"Donald Trump has been shot and, thank God, not seriously hurt nor killed.

"Now is not the time for thoughts and prayers. Now is not the time for talk about “turning down the temperature.”

"Now, immediately, without any excuse for delay of any kind, is the time for action.

"President Joe Biden must direct the attorney general to withdraw all charges against his predecessor and opponent for the presidency, and his co-defendants, which are the basis for many of the false, baseless, and politically inflammatory attacks on Trump.

"He must immediately stop referring to the former president as a “convicted felon,” as that judgment has not yet been entered and may be reversed from the bench based on the Supreme Court’s recent immunity ruling, with hearings pending.

"He must personally contact Alvin Bragg and Fani Willis and urge them to withdraw their state-level charges against the president, regarding which there is abundant evidence of White House cooperation, coordination, and collusion.

"No words from the White House nor from members of the president’s party regarding a physical attack on the former president of the United States can be in any way credible as long as the full force and resources of the federal justice system remain weaponized in an effort to smear him, enable vituperation against him, and incite public anger, animosity and antagonism against him.

"That’s it. There is nothing more to say.

"The ball is in Mr. Biden’s court."  .......

POLL: Most Americans Agree Calling Trump Hitler Incites Political Violence

  The Lid (lidblog.com)

Again, HarrisX is a liberal polling firm, not a Republican group.

"A poll from a left-wing polling source found that most Americans agree that constantly calling Donald Trump “Hitler” incites people to political violence.

"The HarrisX poll which was conducted from July 13 to July 15 was pretty clear.

"On page 17 of its report, the pollsters asked if “Calling Trump a threat to democracy and an authoritarian in waiting is an incitement for political violence.”

"Overall, 58 percent said that it is an act of incitement. By party affiliation, 78 percent of Republicans said it was inciting violence and 56 percent of independents agreed. Even 45 percent of Democrats thought it was inciting violence.

"There was other bad news for Joe Biden and his radicalized Democrats and their handmaids in the media, too.

"Biden’s strategy is being seen as hateful. The poll asked, “The core message of the Biden campaign and the Democratic party that Trump is a threat to democracy and freedom and a dictator has gone too far.” 64 percent overall said yes to that. 80 percent of Republicans and 62 percent of independents also agreed. And in what is really bad news for Democrats, 52 percent of Democrats also agreed.

“ 'The news media has created a polarized political environment that demonizes political candidates,” received 77 percent agreement, with 87 percent of Republicans and 78 percent of independents blasting the media as at fault. And 69 percent of Democrats agreed, as well.

"Trump himself also came in for some praised(sic) from the poll. The question, “Donald Trump reacted to the shooting with bravery and defiance,” saw 74 percent agreeing. 94 percent of Republicans were a “yes” while 75 percent of independents were on board. And even 56 percent of Democrats agreed with the statement." . . .

"It only took a matter of hours for blue-haired leftists like Destiny (pictured below) to begin gleefully celebrating the death of a Trump supporter while lamenting that the assassin failed to take the life of the former president." . . .

Please, Mr. Trump. sue them until they bleed!

Please, Mr. Trump. sue them until they bleed! - American Thinker   "As our esteemed President, Joseph Robinette Biden, recently intoned, we should tone down the hateful rhetoric and be about unity. Of course, doing so would overlook his evil and infamous “red light” speech given at Independence Hall (a sacrilege), a speech followed by innumerable comparisons between Trump and both Stalin and Hitler, not to mention the “very fine people” hoax, the bleach hoax, the Russia hoax, and on and on. Biden and his noisome minions are also forever intoning the “Threat to Democracy” mantra. It’s impossible to imagine that this rhetoric did not culminate in the recent event in Butler, Pennsylvania.

"So, in the spirit of our Democrat leftist brothers’ call for unity and temperance, I humbly advise that President Donald Trump sue them for every dollar that they are worth. Start with Congressman Goldman (Trump should “be eliminated”) and move on down the line. Scarborough. Waters. Reid. Maddow. There are literally dozens more, including the whole cast of The View." . . .

. . ."The basis of the lawsuit? Easy! Reckless endangerment. The witnesses? The 100 million Americans who saw, live, the upper lobe of Donald Trump’s right ear get blown off. It seems a layup of a civil lawsuit, but even if the case is held in DC, I want their legal defense funds bled white. And maybe, just maybe, the case gets held in Butler.

"And in the event that even one of the lawsuits is successful? President Trump should turn every dollar over to two entities: 1) a trust fund for the family of Mr. Comperatore and the two men seriously wounded as the vile fruit of Democrat Leftist hate speech, and 2) a legal defense fund for every January 6th prisoner." . . .


Jasmine Crockett Really Posted This After Trump Was Nearly Assassinated

A Politicized Military, Run by a Frail President

  John Cauthen- American Thinker

America’s armed forces are the bulwark of national security.  The nation’s commander-in-chief, front and center on the world’s stage, exhibited a weakness our country has seldom experienced.  To continue with faddish academic programs like DIE and CRT, with no bearing in military reality, we invite disaster for our nation and our allies." . . .

rofcbybroc.com

"President Biden’s debate performance on June 27 shattered any remaining illusions of a lucid and vibrant commander-in-chief at the helm of our nation.  Instead, the American people witnessed the ramblings of a diminished and frail man.  That his handlers, a delusional Democrat party, and complicit national media obfuscated and lied about the president’s physical and mental state for the past three years is now beside the point.  Rather, we should be assessing the magnitude of this debacle for America’s standing on the world’s stage and our national security.

"Every world leader, friend and foe alike, viewed the president’s performance.  No doubt our enemies — notably China, Russia, and Iran — saw opportunity to accelerate their dangerous agendas with renewed vigor.  America’s friends, likewise, must have been left wondering if the United States is capable of countering the world’s rogues and their machinations.  Peggy Noonan, in a recent Wallstreet Journal analysis, summarized this problem well: “Can America afford for another four years to have an obviously neurologically impaired president?  No, it isn’t safe.  It is on some level provocative.  Weakness provokes.”

"This weakness, exhibited in open, grotesque high definition, leaves America and her allies vulnerable in an increasingly volatile and dangerous world.  The vacuum of American leadership, embodied by a debilitated president, will invite more malfeasance and amplify an already perilous era of conflict and war.  The one institution that offers any hope of deterrence is a strong, unified armed forces able to project influence and power abroad.  Unfortunately, America’s armed forces have been compromised by the pernicious ideology known euphemistically as diversity, inclusion, and equity (DIE, also DEI).  This leaves our nation weaker yet.

"DIE’s infiltration into the military has largely occurred in obscurity, cloaked by pleasant-sounding words and phrases designed to resonate with the casual observer.  After all, who would oppose a diverse and inclusive organization?  The reality, however, is quite the opposite.  DIE and its corrupt sibling, Critical Race Theory (CRT), are designed to classify and sort individuals by immutable identity characteristics like race, sex, and sexual orientation.?"...

Secret Service Director: Oh my God - American Thinker  . . ."And not one of those officers and snipers thought that just maybe the assassin might have climbed up on the most obvious and dangerous sniper perch in the area?  None of them saw the citizens frantically pointing at the roof and yelling “he’s up there with a rifle?”

"In a sane presidential administration, Cheatle would have already been fired. Now? Well, she fits right in with all the other executives in the Mummified Meat Puppet Administration."

Toning Down the Dangerous Rhetoric Didn’t Last Long

 The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

. . ."MSNBC hosts and guests wouldn’t know what to do if they didn’t have Trump to pummel with insults, and if they couldn’t warn their (few) viewers/listeners about the danger Trump poses to our democracy." . . . 

"Just a few short days after a 20-year-old Pennsylvania man attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, and after Democratic political leaders and their media accomplices expressed “horror” at the attempted assassination, urged that the political rhetoric be toned down, and called for “unity,” they are right back at it — calling Trump a danger to democracy.

"President Joe Biden led the way, telling NBC News that Trump is still a threat to democracy. Eric Levitz, writing in Vox, remarks that the attempted assassination should not cow Trump’s critics who rightly call him a threat to democracy. Meanwhile, at the Trump-deranged MSNBC, Joe Scarborough scolded his own network and threatened to quit Morning Joe after the network decided to pull his show on Monday. The Morning Joe show (and, for that matter, almost every MSNBC show) is infamous for its hosts and guests calling Trump a wannabe dictator, a fascist, a threat to democracy, and Hitler-likeThe New Republic, which featured a cover with Trump as Hitler, says that after being shot at the Pennsylvania rally, “Trump is a bigger threat to American democracy than ever before.” David


"Farris, 
writing in Slate, says “Trump is still as dangerous as he has ever been.” The Left and the Democrats are doubling down on the “threat to democracy” rhetoric, as if that is all they have (other than abortion, which is the Democrats’ sacramental issue). As Brittany Bernstein writes in National Review, “[T]he president and his fellow Democrats have so far failed to take accountability for their own heated political rhetoric, which has frequently targeted Trump.”

"In an essay in City Journal, Heather Mac Donald admits to having felt “a sense of dread that Trump would be assassinated, in light of the nonstop, ubiquitous rhetoric against him.” Mac Donald believes that calls for toning down the ugly rhetoric “are unlikely to go far.” Many Democrats actually seem to believe that “Trump is the next coming of Hitler.” Trump occupied the office of president for four years, and there was nothing he did that was “fascist,” or dictatorial, or that “threatened democracy,” but the Democrats and their media allies have constructed a narrative that they cannot afford to abandon." . . .

How Trump Attempted Assassination Happened? Detail Timeline

YouTube


In this Animated Video Trump’s rally takes place in Butler, Pennsylvania, roughly 30 miles north of Pittsburgh.
"There are three important structures:
"This is the Trump stage, and just above him is the audience section where a selected audience is seated.
"This structure is also very important as it is where the Secret Service personnel are located and snipers are positioned.
"Finally, we have this building where the shooter set up his sniper location.
"A quick note: the distance from the shooter Thomas Crook, to Trump’s stage is around 137 meters, which translates to around 450 feet.
"While The distance between the shooter and the Secret Service sniper position is around 134 meters, which is approximately 440 feet.
|When Former President Donald Trump was a little into his speech.
"The Shooter Squeeze the Trigger from his “A” “R” 15 Rifle Releasing 3 Bullets or in other words, 3 Shots were Fired and one hit the former president on the Ear it was then Followed by another 5 Shots.
"The Bullet struck Missed the Head of the Former by just a quarter of an inch as he Turned and Look a Chart Statistic."

"Author Douglas Murray discusses the failed attempted assassination of former US president Donald Trump at his recent rally. “Had the assassin’s bullet been very slightly to the one side, not only would we have had an assassination of a former president and a running candidate on live television,” he told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. “But the Republican Party, the Democrats, America as a whole, and therefore the world could have fallen into an absolute pit of recrimination, retribution, and much more.”

Hey! Are Those Bullets in Your NPR Tote?

 Ann Coulter (townhall.com)

"Liberals accusing the former president of inciting political violence is factually incorrect, deeply ironic and slightly silly. (Other than that, good point!) Trump needs to hear Biden's thoughts on political violence like he needs another hole in the head." 


"If you were worried that liberals would tone down the apocalyptic rhetoric about Donald Trump after Saturday's assassination attempt -- He's an existential threat to democracy! a fascist! an aspiring dictator! an authoritarian! Hitler! -- you can rest easy.

"Apparently, the left has concluded that the best way to avoid political violence in the future is to ratchet up their dire warnings about the end of democracy presaged by a second Trump presidency. (That's almost as good as their plan to lower deficits by spending more.)

"Two days after the shooting, Vox announced in a headline, "Yes, it's still fair to call Trump a threat to democracy."

"President Joe Biden agreed, telling NBC's Lester Holt, "How do you talk about the threat to democracy, which is real, when [Trump] says things like he says." (Otherwise, it was a great interview except that the president kept calling Lester "Bryant." Amazingly, it's necessary to add: That's a joke.)

"MSNBC's Joy Reid called Trump "the greatest purveyor and promoter of political violence, really, since anyone can remember." Pro tip for Biden defenders: Maybe don't bring up people's ability to remember things.

"I'm not sure how to measure who the biggest "purveyor and promoter of political violence" is, but I can do a body count. And when it comes to political violence, the left beats the living daylights out of the right, so to speak. 

"Granted, we're only 248 years into this experiment, but so far, every single shooting of a national politician in the U.S. has been committed by a person on the left -- or someone even more deranged than a liberal." 

"A few would-be assassins were simply delusional nuts. Richard Lawrence, for example, was a house painter who thought he was King Richard III of England. He tried to shoot President Andrew Jackson because he thought the United States owed him money." . . .

Joy Reid questions Trump's injuries, suggests it could have been 'glass' that hit former president (msn.com)  "MSNBC host Joy Reid questioned the nature of former President Trump's injuries on Wednesday after he narrowly survived an assassination attempt.

"I have many questions! Like where are the medical reports? What caused Trump’s injury and what was the injury? Sheapnel? [sic] Glass? A bullet? Where were the three attendees who were shot seated or standing relative to Trump? Why was Trump allowed to stand and pose for photos, fist pumping for nearly ten seconds while asking about his shoe when there could easily have been additional shooters?" Reid wrote in a post on Threads.

"Reid was responding to a post wondering why journalists weren't demanding medical information from Trump in the aftermath of the Pennsylvania shooting, as they are from President Biden.

" 'How did the gunman manage to get on the roof of the building WHERE THE LOCAL POLICE WERE LITERALLY INSIDE?" she asked.

"Members of both sides of the political aisle have questioned the Secret Service and how it secured the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The FBI is continuing to investigate the deceased shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks. 

" 'More questions: does it make sense that a 17 year old who three year[s] later is a member of a far right gun group donated to any political organization, let alone @actblueorg??? Has the organization verified that? And where is this supposed ladder? Did he seriously bring a five foot ladder with him and his AR? Really? And why haven’t authorities released information about all three civilian victims, including a schematic of where they were standing or sitting?" Reid continued. " . . .

Joy Reid suggest Biden recovering from COVID is 'exactly the same thing' as Trump surviving an assassination (msn.com)  . . ." "This current President of the United States is 81 years old and has COVID, should he be fine in a couple of days, doesn't that convey exactly the same thing? That he’s strong enough – older than Trump – to have gotten something that used to really be fatal to people his age. So, if he does fine out of it and comes back and is able to do rallies, isn't that exactly the same?," Reid said." . . .

AMBER ROSE CLAPS BACK AT JOY REID AFTER CRITICIZING CONVENTION SPEECH: ‘STOP BEING A RACE BAITER’

MSNBC Serves an Empty Mug: Why 'Morning Joe' Got Pulled

  Brad Slager (townhall.com)

"Scar-Joe went full crazed blue-anon pundit in declaring that Trump will jail and execute his opponents. Adding to the psychosis, he adds, “Just look at his past!” That would be Trump’s record of not doing the very things promised."

"Here we are, the Monday immediately following the attempt on the life of Donald Trump, but for those who were hoping to begin their day with the sane and sober reflections on this event from the capable crew on “Morning Joe”, they were met with dismay. “Morning Joe” was not on the air!

"We were not treated to the calm and introspective wisdom from Mr. Scarborough, the balanced and thoughtful reflections from his paramour Mika Brzezinski, and the fulfilling commentary from the wizened panel and rotating slate of Algonquin-level thinkers. 

"This is likely due to the fact that once again, the press is in a state of dismay and upheaval. It has been a wild and revealing time analyzing the media in the aftermath of the attempt to take the life of Donald Trump. Once again, we see the press ensnared within a reality of their own making, due entirely to their abandonment of basic journalism ethics.

"This is the press industry that commonly takes the approach to any gun event by first filtering it through their narrative prism before taking to the airwaves. Is the shooter a white male? Then every detail of their personal life and social media is examined through forensics and any connectivity to an entity on the right will be highlighted for days as the inspiration for the violence.

"In the case that a minority is behind the shooting? One bland report is sufficient before dropping the story entirely.

"The desire in detailing blame in that fashion is an extension of the larger practice in the press of delivering promised violent outbreaks from the right, specifically MAGA-inspired attacks. This has been the mantra in the media, that Trump and conservative outlets will provoke violent outbursts due to their intolerant and inciteful language. We have been promised a lengthy list of moments when MAGA Nation would rise with an outburst of violence; the various rallies, Trump’s indictment, Trump’s conviction, and other general occurrences are a regular prediction in the press. One day - one day - they may become proven accurate." . . .

Elon Musk moving X and SpaceX to Texas after California's Newsom signs student gender identity law: 'Final straw'

 NY Post (nypost.com)  

I really like Elon Musk; sorry to root against his electric car. TD

 "Billionaire Elon Musk said Tuesday he will shift the headquarters of privately held SpaceX and social media site X to Texas from California — calling Gov. Gavin Newsom’s decision to sign a new student gender identity law “the final straw.”

"The law, signed Monday, blocks school districts from requiring teachers to notify parents about changes in a student’s gender identity or sexual orientation without the child’s permission. It also requires the state’s Department of Education to create resources for families of LGBTQ+ students from seventh grade through high school.

"“This is the final straw,” Musk wrote on X. “Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.”

"Musk added that he made “it clear to Governor Newsom about a year ago that laws of this nature would force families and companies to leave California to protect their children.”

"In another post, the billionaire added that the San Francisco headquarters for X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, will move to Austin, Texas." . . .

Unbelievable: Shooter Was on Secret Service Radar for 3 Hours

 David Strom – HotAir

BREAKING: Thomas Matthew Crooks' parents called law enforcement *before* the rally, telling them that their son was missing and they were "worried." They knew something was up. "[The parents] called law enforcement to report that Crooks was missing and they were worried," reported Harris Faulkner. . . ."How could this possibly be?


"Already, we know that the entire operation to protect Donald Trump at the Wisconsin rally was botched in many ways, but it boggles the mind that an assassin who came so close to being successful got so close to the former president after he had already been identified as a potential threat to the president. 

. . ."A threat to Trump was not an abstract, distant possibility. The Secret Service had already been warned that Iran was actively plotting to kill President Trump, supposedly triggering enhanced security measures that somehow didn't include securing an obvious site from which a sniper could take potshots at him. 

. . ."And, as many have pointed out, if you are going to assassinate a high-profile target, you wouldn't pick Crooks in a million years to do it. 

"But even given that, it's clear that the Service didn't just fail; it failed so spectacularly that many people involved will have to be fired and even investigated personally. " . . .
