'Who Knows, Right?': Jill Biden Won’t Rule Out That Joe Was Drugged Before Meltdown Debate

  RedState

Whoopi thinks "amazing doctor" Jill would know

"Former first lady Jill Biden is refusing to close the door on one of the wilder theories surrounding her husband’s disastrous 2024 debate performance.

"That he was drugged.

"In a recent interview with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima, the only doctor less qualified than doctors Anthony Fauci and/or Pepper to offer medical assessments was asked if a stroke had been ruled out by actual medical professionals. 

"'Well, they did. They said, I mean, I didn't say to them, when I was writing my book, I was reflecting, but I didn't say, 'God, did Joe have a stroke?' I just said, 'Is he OK? Is he OK?'" Biden replied.

She further suggested that nobody really knows what happened that fateful night.

"I mean, there's all kinds of theories — you know, he had been traveling," Biden said. "I know he was tired, he didn't feel well that day, when I saw him, but there was nothing definitive that I could point to. And I had been on the road for two weeks up until that moment. So, I wasn't with him. I didn't see him days before, weeks before. I saw him maybe one hour before."

Lima then asked whether someone might have laced Uncle Joe's beverage of choice or pulverized oatmeal beforehand.

"There's no way anyone could have, God forbid, laced his drink or something?" she said.

"Who knows? Who knows?" Biden openly wondered

Scalise: Trump Impeachment Coming 'Day One' if Democrats Win Majority

 Breitbart:

‘Democratic Party’ and ‘DSA’ Are Now Officially Synonymous

  Issues & Insights   

"Turns out a majority of his caucus has cosponsored the flagship free-healthcare-for-every-body legislation … along with 40% of Senate Dems."


"A dark art of the scriveners’ circle is “word variety”: livening up prose by avoiding repeated use of the same word or terminology.

Accordingly, this digital ink-stained wretch has always been grateful for the acronymic alternative for “Republican Party” – “GOP.” And equally frustrated that a counterpart did not exist for its opposite number.

"Until now.

""The Democrats’ leftward drift – actually, now a full-out sprint – has provided a neat and increasingly useful abbreviation.

"DSA.

"But wait, you protest. Isn’t that the name of a separate, radical party that has infiltrated the ranks of Democratic candidates for various offices ranging from city councils to the World’s Greatest Deliberative Body?

"As if. “DSA” has been interchangeable for “Democratic Party” in reality, if not in name, for years now.

"Doubt that for a micro-millisecond? Accompany your correspondent on a tour through time to the madcap 2020 presidential primary cycle.

"In a singularly prescient warning – headlined “Don’t Buy the Myth of the ‘Moderate’ Democrat” – this scribe demonstrated that “even the most ‘moderate’ contender” on a 2019 debate stage was “far to the left of” George McGovern, Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis. And “selling an agenda more radical than any political platform in our history.”

"Alleged middle-of-the-roaders variously favored “a universal healthcare system to give everyone basic healthcare for free,” dramatically expanding Medicare, or the then-popular “public option” for insurance, which one contender artfully acknowledged would lead to.

 “Medicare for All without us having to kick anybody off their insurance.” 

"On immigration, the most rightward candidates “agreed with the radicals on the essentials of ‘comprehensive immigration reform’: opening the door wide to Dreamers, expanding legal immigration, and of course, the proverbial ‘pathway to citizenship’ for illegals.” . . .

"Contrast this with the folks that dressed themselves up in fancy and false words that at best mean nothing, and at worst mean the exact opposite.  They demand collective control, unlimited government, and nothing in the way of property rights.  Principles that are anything but positive and have been on the loser side of history for the past 200 years.

"Thus, these basic principles tell us their bedrock motivations and potential outcomes." . . ."

A Drone Entered USS Arizona Wreck - The Footage Has Never Been Shown

Unknown Footage     "In a landmark collaboration, the National Park Service and deep-sea explorers sent an advanced underwater ROV (remotely operated vehicle) deep inside the sunken hull of the USS Arizona. Resting at the bottom of Pearl Harbor, the battleship remains the final resting place for over 900 sailors and Marines. The specialized drone successfully navigated the dark, hazardous interior, capturing unprecedented footage of preserved officers' quarters, intact furniture, and personal artifacts frozen in time. Out of profound respect for the site's status as a sacred military cemetery, the raw, haunting interior footage has been strictly classified and never released to the public."


Inside the memorial of the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor   "Beneath the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor lies the most famous World War II wreck in America and it’s still leaking oil from December 7, 1941. In this documentary, we break down the Arizona’s final minutes during the Pearl Harbor attack, why the battleship can never be raised, and what Navy divers found in 2025 that led to the removal of over 100 tonnes of concrete to prevent a collapse. Using modern wreck mapping, structural monitoring, and the latest updates on DPAA “Operation 85,” we explore the Arizona as a protected war grave under the Sunken Military Craft Act and the ongoing effort to preserve the story of the 1,177 men lost. This is the true, haunting history of the “weeping ship” and the underwater tomb visited by millions every year."

Nuclear Power Plants Far More Popular Than AI Data Centers For Local Areas

 Forbes   

"Americans are so against the construction of artificial intelligence data centers in their local areas that they'd rather see a nuclear power plant built nearby, according to new polling data released by Gallup."


Key Facts

"A Gallup survey released Wednesday shows 71% of Americans are somewhat or strongly opposed to the building of AI data centers in their area, mostly out of concern for their environmental impact.

That number is much higher than the 53% of respondents who said they'd oppose the building of a nuclear energy plant in their area (more than one-third of the U.S. population lives or works within 50 miles of a nuclear power plant).

Seventy percent of respondents said they were worried to some degree about how the centers, infamous for their massive energy and water consumption, would impact the local environment, and other respondents cited concerns about quality of life, economic impact and general worries about AI.

Only 7% of people said they strongly favor the building of data centers nearby, and those people, along with the 20% who responded they're "somewhat" in favor, said they think the centers would benefit the economy, create jobs and increase tax revenue.

The majority of all major demographic groups and political parties said they would oppose having a data center built where they live, but women and Democrats were much more likely than Republicans to be strongly opposed." . . . More...

Middle East War Turns AI Data Center Security Into Its Own Boom

"The AI data center boom put American-funded, America-based data center projects on Middle East soil. Here’s how the war—and Iran’s drone attacks on Amazon data centers—is impacting how these capital-intensive projects are thinking about security.

Britain Hands Out Guides to Illegal Migrants Reminding Them Not to Rape Women

 The Gateway Pundit  

Well, we did see what Hamas did to women in Israel that October 7th. TD

"The Home Office has just issued a booklet to illegal immigrants advising them not to commit rape and sexual assault, including of children. This tells us all we need to know about the kind of people illegally entering our country " Chris Philip, MP

Grok AI


"The British government is handing a nine-page guide explaining that rape, sexual harassment, domestic abuse and controlling women are unacceptable in the United Kingdom.

The government booklet lays out basic rules on sex, consent, relationships and behavior in public, while explaining that in liberal democracies like the U.K. women have the right to work, study, travel and choose whom they marry." . . .

“Women do not need permission from a husband, father, brother, or any other man to do any of these things,” the guidance states.

Remember the megaphone lady Angie Nixon?

"Stand up! Stand up for Col. Vindman!", said Joe Biden for no discernible reason.

 CBS’s Gayle King floored by DSA candidate’s claim she isn’t familiar with Hasan Piker: ‘You don’t know who he is?’ 

"Nixon, who has experience as a union organizer, now has the support of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and DSCC Chair Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY)."

 Yet she is a fellow Democrat Socialist with Piker.




Florida state rep. says Angie Nixon’s bullhorn protest during redistricting vote left her with possible ear damage   
"Another question is how much establishment Democrats in Florida will rally behind Nixon. Democratic gubernatorial nominee David Jolly created some distance between himself and Nixon, saying that he rejects socialism."

Hasan Piker and the Democrats Who Embrace His Violent Rhetoric (Extreme language advisory)

"From attacks on the Constitution to praise for Hamas and Mao, Piker’s rhetoric has not stopped prominent Democrats from appearing with him." 

His language ranks with that of Rashida Tlaib and mule skinners. If you like Hamas and what they did to Israeli families that Oct 7th, you will like this man. TD

The American Spectator  Warning: This opinion piece directly quotes the abundantly profane Hasan Piker. Piker’s acceptance among Democrat officials and candidates makes his horrid comments newsworthy. Reader discretion is advised.

"The fact that a Rose Parade of similar figures has not mustered behind Carville and marched away from Hasan Piker with all deliberate speed speaks terrifying volumes about the shambolic state of the modern Democrat Party."


"“Man, you can fuck and suck me from the back, okay. I fuck the Constitution. I wipe my ass with the Constitution. It’s a fucking piece of paper, dude. Shut the fuck up. Motherfuck the Constitution and motherfuck this country, okay. You stupid bitch.”

"Most people who heard such comments would walk (or run) away in disgust and hope never again to encounter such verbal sewage.

"'Left-wingers, liberals, you need to be fucking showing your opponents’ guts on there, you need to be gutting them,” this man roared. “You need to be shanking these motherfuckers and letting their fucking intestines writhe on-stage,” he said. “Slice them up. Slice ’em and fucking dice ’em.”

"These comments practically incite violence. The sadism that fuels such rhetoric might justify ringing mental-health authorities. And if those statements did not trigger a call to 911, consider this, about landlords:

"“Kill them. Kill those motherfuckers. Murder those motherfuckers in the street. Let the streets soak in their fucking red capitalist blood, dude.”

"Those are the barbaric words of Hasan Piker, the extreme-Left social-media personality and spiritual leader of the flying-off-the-cliff Left.

"Piker’s vicious and inflammatory outbursts are not news, by themselves. America is overrun with psychopaths who mutter disturbing nonsense while stumbling through the streets or soiling themselves on sidewalks.

"What is newsworthy is that prominent Democrats embrace Piker, broadcast with him, and invite him to their campaign events.

"Piker and Abdul El-Sayed jointly rallied voters at Michigan State University in East Lansing and University of Michigan last April 7. Piker joked about weightlifting with El-Sayed at an August 3 campaign gathering, the night before he won Michigan’s Democrat nomination for U.S. Senate. Piker was an honored guest at El-Sayed’s primary-night victory party." . . . More.

Republicans Can’t Just Trash the Left—They Need a Plan to Win

 Victor Davis Hanson

"IF conservatives get out and vote, the midterms will go red. The GOP war chest is full, the economy is booming as are stocks, cities are safer. One of the greatest threats to peace has been resoundingly defeated. If we fail to vote, we will hand the midterms to the dems and fail our Republic." Comment to this video

Who’s in Worse Shape, Europe or the U.S.? "

 "Diversity just keeps making us stronger and stronger." AC

The American Conservative    

"If only Europeans had been less afraid of guns, and more afraid of multiculturalism! Before you could say “Rotherham grooming gang,” third-worlders were pouring into Europe, raping the indigenous population’s women and girls, committing random bombings and murders, all while being ferociously protected by government bureaucrats and the media."


"Someone I know once told me his main marital problem was that whenever he had a row with his wife, his parents would blame him, and his wife’s parents would blame him, so it was always unanimous: It was his fault.
"That’s how I see the “Which Is Worse?” question comparing immigration in the United States and Europe. Americans see countless videos of thousands of Muslims marching through London and Paris, and say, Europe is finished. Shocked at the unassimilable cultures being dumped on them, Europeans imagine no one has ever suffered so much.
"So it’s unanimous. The U.S. is lucky by comparison!
"The consensus opinion could not be more wrong. Europe has only just begun its experiment with “multiculturalism.” The U.S. is so far along on this journey, it would be a miracle for the country to survive another half century in any recognizable form.
"In addition to being screwed by the sizable group of Americans always clamoring for cheap labor, the U.S. is uniquely screwed by its geography, as pointed out by Harvard professor Samuel Huntington 20 years ago. We are one of the only developed countries to share a border with a third world country—and that border is 2,000 miles long, protected by a picket fence. Moreover, the income gap between Mexico and America is among the largest of any two contiguous countries in the world.
"But why not cheer for the U.S. becoming another Mexico, as the Wall Street Journal does? Think of all that cheap labor!
"For starters, Latin American culture is wildly different from ours, in terms of corruption, submission to authority, and its Catholicism, which reveres the poor and abhors “income inequality.” Practically the only prosperous and stable democracies in all of Latin America are Uruguay and Costa Rica, each less than 50 percent Catholic and both overwhelmingly white European (83 percent to 88 percent).
"By the way, what was Mexico’s contribution to defeating the Nazi war machine; ridding the world of polio, smallpox, malaria and other dread diseases; and the invention of the airplane, nuclear power, oil rigging machinery and the personal computer?
"Good luck to the rest of the world when the U.S. is Mexico-Norte.
"Which is happening faster than you might think. By now, America has taken in about one-third of Mexico’s entire population. And that’s to say nothing of El Salvador, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and the other poverty-ridden countries to our south." . . . More.

Why was the Civil War South called "the Chivalry"

Southern chivalry explained  

"Confederate apologia additionally flourished during the Golden Age of Fraternalism that manifested in large part in the universities of the South" . . .


"Southern chivalry, or the Cavalier myth, was a popular concept describing the aristocratic honor culture of the Southern United States during the Antebellum, Civil War, and early Postbellum eras. The archetype of a Southern gentleman became popular as a chivalric ideal of the slave owning planter class, emphasizing both familial and personal honor in addition to the ability to defend either by force if necessary. Southern chivalry is today seen as an attempt to justify the racist and patriarchal stratification of Southern society, with the goal of maintaining or legitimizing the human rights abuses of American slavery.[1] [2]

Prior to the Civil War this concept of a gentleman's honor was frequently used as a basis for duels and other forms of extrajudicial violence, most notably the caning of Charles Sumner by Preston Brooks, and contributed to the militarization of the South by encouraging young men to be taught at military schools.

By the later Antebellum era, the term had taken on an ironic meaning for Northerners and abolitionists, among whom it was used as a pejorative to describe what was perceived as the barbarism of Southern slave owners and their hostility and duplicity in dealing with the North, as was particularly seen in various political caricatures before and during the war.

In the modern era the romanticization of Southern chivalry became a core aspect of the Lost Cause myth, which portrays the as a morally and culturally superior civilization defending its honor against a materialistic and immoral North." . . . More...

The Plantation & Chivalry [ushistory.org]   . . . "A proper gentleman, it was believed, should be a lawyer, politician, planter, or military man, rather than be a businessman or other occupation. Because plantation owners had their money tied up in property and slaves, many of the generation could not afford to send their children to prestigious colleges, but were able to send them to the esteemed military schools. This created a generation of very able and talented military officers. Many were trained at West Point and Virginia Military Institute. They held to old-fashioned ideals of what honorable warfare meant. When the Civil War arrived, most of the military leadership talent was southern."

Ergo, history tells us how the Confederacy had better leaders who I have to guess were only overcome by the larger and better equipped Northern armies. TD
