by Stepping on Multiple Rakes, Gets Mocked
Into Oblivion

While the rest of America geared up to celebrate the Fourth of July, the Biden campaign was hard at work stepping on multiple rakes, and getting mocked into oblivion for them. On Wednesday afternoon, the official "Biden-Harris HQ" account, which I'm now convinced is run by White House pool boy Andrew Bates, went after Donald Trump over something called "Project 2025." What exactly is that? It's a transition proposal created by the Heritage Foundation and other conservative groups that includes reclassifying thousands of partisan federal employees so they can be replaced by the incoming executive.

This last week has been fun. Speaking of stepping on rakes, do you remember 1976's The Pink Panther Strikes Again? Chief Inspector Dreyfus tries to fake sanity, but he's really insane, and Trump--excuse me, Biden--sets him off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH8qMgHVBMg

The funny thing is, as the dems worry about the precious administrative state, the SCOTUS has stated that the agencies of government are NOT as powerful or important as they and the dems think they are. If it can't be determined that a law passed by Congress and approved by a President clearly gives an agency the power it claims within its rule making, the rule is invalid. Once the agencies are whittled down to fit within the legal framework that authorized them, we will need a lot less bureaucrats and there will be a lot less legal battles. Like the media is the dem propaganda arm, the state is the dem legal action arm. Both of these mechanisms have been significantly damaged or reduced in power. The dems lack the support to enact their agenda. Now they are losing the mechanisms they use to work around legal framework of our Constitution and laws.

I don't know anything about the Heritage Foundation or project 2025, but every Deep State employee of the US Government needs to be replaced. People have ever right to vote for anyone they want to vote for, To belong to any political party they like, but Government workers do not have the right to play Brutus to the leader of the country. Back stabbing a CIC is not what their job is.

Every civilian, non-military and non-elected employee of the federal government belongs to the US Federal Civil Service, which run by OPM, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The director of OPM is nominated by the President, in his capacity as head of the Executive Branch. And that "every" means every civilian employee of EVERY department and office of the federal government - Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, NASA, Public Health, whatever Faucci was running, Transportation, Education, all those government-paid minions scurrying around the Congress, etc. etc. etc. All part of the EXECUTIVE branch. And usually, every time a president takes office, he promises to clean out the Augean Stables. Since none of them were (or are) Heracles, none of them has done it. Looks like Trump is going to get a second try at it.

Yesterday during the day my great country was born I watched some old cartoons. One was an episode of Tom & Jerry. It was the one where Tom chased Jerry into a yard full of rakes. Jerry of course runs through it with no problem. Tom on the other hand steps on every rake running both forwards and backwards. That's the Brandon regime in a nutshell. Expect many stepped-on rakes to follow.

During an interview with ABC News on Friday, President Joe Biden said that he realized he was doing poorly in last week’s presidential debate when he noticed that “even when I was answering a question, even though they turned his mic off,” his opponent, 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump, “was still shouting. And I let it distract me.” Biden elaborated that he isn’t blaming that for his performance, but that caused him to realize “that I just wasn’t in control.” ABC host George Stephanopoulos asked, “And how quickly did it come to you that you were having that bad night?” Biden responded, “Well, it came to me

We got the first clue that something was very wrong when ABC News aired a clip of Joe Biden's interview with George Stephanopoulos at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The partisan Democrat interviewer asked Biden why his debate performance was so bad after six days of rest at Camp David. Biden threw out some prepared talking points: He'd been very sick. He was tested for COVID and "for infections." He clutched his heart when he said the last part. (None of this explained why a very sick Biden was sent to a diner after the debate to gladhand supporters.) Stephanopoulos asked Biden whether he had watched

Joe Biden's big interview with George Stephanopoulos is out, and the big question circulating is whether it will be enough to quell the uprising within the Democratic Party. Since his disastrous debate performance over a week ago, the president has been battling a deluge of leaks about his senility and a growing public campaign to have him leave the 2024 race. Since being helped off the stage in Georgia by his wife, Biden has done a few events, none of which should comfort any of his allies. In short, this interview is supposed to be a big turning point. Was it? What we saw in the pre-released clips didn't

On the surface, it is scandalous that Washington Democrats, and the Democratic press corps, knew for years that Joe Biden could barely function, and yet they covered up his condition until it exploded into public view in last week’s debate. The Democrats didn’t care about Biden’s dementia until public knowledge of it threatened his re-election. Which raises the question: Don’t the Democrats think it is dangerous for the U.S. not to have a functioning president? Isn’t it unpatriotic to help to perpetuate in office a president long gone in dementia? The Democrats don’t think so, because they believe it doesn’t really matter who is president, as long as he is a Democrat.

An exhausted president with a bad cold, according to aides. A rushed final 36 hours of preparation at Camp David leading to a disastrous debate. And now, a presidency in crisis. A week after Joe Biden’s debate performance sent the Democratic Party into panic over his age, health and viability in November’s election, the White House and campaign have offered shifting explanations about concerns in the days leading up to the debate — a damage control effort that’s fallen flat. Now, people with direct knowledge of his debate prep process are providing a more detailed picture of the days leading up to Biden’s disastrous debate last week, clarifying the roles and responsibilities

The big donor class in the Democrat Party is over President Biden. Unless the party convinces him to leave the presidential race, the party is going to experience a world of hurt. That is the opinion of a former Biden supporter and Democrat campaign fundraiser, Will Pierce. He is a Daily Caller columnist now. Prominent party donors are shutting their checkbooks until Biden is dropped from the top of the ballot. Pierce predicts a potential election disaster if that doesn't happen. Fine by me.

Say, didn't the New York Times focus most of its energy on explaining away Joe Biden's stumbles as "cheap fakes" ... until a week ago? As late as June 21, just six days before the presidential debate undeniably exposed Biden's cognitive decline, the Paper of Record told readers not to believe their own lyin' eyes when it came to Biden's stumbles. Those videos were "misleading ... edited or lacking context," the Gray Lady assured them: President Biden has many adversaries in this year’s election.

President Joe Biden said Friday at a campaign rally in the key battleground state of Wisconsin that he's staying in the 2024 presidential race and expressed confidence that he would beat former President Donald Trump, despite concerns about a disastrous debate performance last week. "You probably heard that I had a little debate last week. Can't say it is my best performance, but ever since then, there's been a lot of speculation: 'What's Joe going to do? Is he going to stay in the race? Is he going to drop out, what's he going to do?' Well, here's my answer. I am running and gonna win again," Biden said in remarks

Ever since the first presidential debate of 2024, the question in the minds of everyone who watches politics is "How much longer does Joe Biden have?" Legions are now calling for him to surrender his candidacy, if not to resign outright. With every passing day, he grows more befuddled. The tensions of supposedly being president - we are forced to wonder how much of the job he is actually doing - along with the campaign, in which he is playing an ineffective defense against the rising Tide of Trump, seems to be aggravating his mental decline. Now, Donald Trump is looking to stomp on the gas by challenging the president

Trump said in a post on Truth Social that he is not involved in the right-wing think tank’s proposal, which outlines various policies and initiatives that some conservatives hope a future Republican administration would administer. “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it,” he said. “I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.

While Americans were celebrating July 4, Britons went to the polls. Well, some of them did, at any rate. The result was a huge Labour landslide . . . with a shockingly small Labour vote: Current projections suggest Starmer has secured this ‘historic’ majority on the basis of just 35 per cent of the vote, that’s five points lower than Jeremy Corbyn achieved in 2017 and only three points higher than in the disaster of 2019. As the BBC’s polling supremo, John Curtice, points out, this is ‘slightly below that secured by Tony Blair in 2005 and will be the lowest share of the vote

Top Democrats are so alarmed about Joe Biden's ailing health some fear a shadowy cabal is keeping him in power so they can pull levers behind the scenes, it is claimed.

Its reporter Olivia Nuzzi revealed that even Democrat elites are stumped as to how and why the fast-declining 81 year-old is being allowed to continue his re-election bid. Nuzzi said she had heard questions being posed by high-ranking Democrats on the east and west coasts about whether Biden is a puppet whose strings are being pulled by another group of secretive Democrats.

Larry Sabato, the Trump-hating pollster who is known for his campaign ‘crystal ball,’ said on CNN earlier today that the race between Biden and Trump is no longer close and that the poll numbers he is seeing are ‘bad’ for Biden. This interview happened before the Stephanopoulos interview (which went terribly) and Sabato conceded that one good interview is not going to save Biden or his campaign. The reason these comments should really disturb Democrats is because if there was any kind of silver lining to include here, any single ray of sunshine, Sabato would have pointed it out, but there is no good news for Democrats.

Shootings and other violence during the extended Fourth of July weekend have left at least 33 people dead, including 11 in Chicago, and injured dozens more nationwide, authorities said. The Fourth of July historically is one of the nation’s deadliest days of the year. A flurry of shootings around the holiday a year ago left more than a dozen people dead and over 60 wounded. And a year before that, seven people died in a mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade near Chicago. Violence and mass shootings often increase in the summer months, with more people gathering for social events, teens out of school and hotter temperatures.

Madison, Wis.— The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Friday that officials can place ballot drop boxes around their communities in this fall’s elections, overturning its own ruling two years ago limiting their use in the presidential swing state. The court limited the use of drop boxes in July 2022, ruling then that they could be placed only in local election clerks’ offices and no one other than the voter could return a ballot in person. Conservatives controlled the court at that time, but Janet Protasiewicz’s election victory in April 2023 flipped the court to liberal control.

The former president’s call for this unconventional debate format promises a direct, unfiltered discussion on key issues affecting the nation. “I have the answer to the Crooked Joe Biden Incompetence Puzzle — Let’s do another Debate,” wrote Trump. He envisions an all-out discussion with just him and Biden on stage.
