On June 4, the Wall Street Journal published a story headlined, “Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping.” Based on interviews with 45 people, the article reported that associates described President Joe Biden as showing signs of age, “a president who appears slower now, someone who has both good moments and bad ones.” The Wall Street Journal described a January White House meeting with congressional leaders on Ukraine policy in which Biden “spoke so softly at times that some participants struggled to hear him, according to five people familiar with the meeting.

Who has been enabling him for the last 50 years? This guy has never had any qualifications to hold a public office.

July 9, 2024 "WASHINGTON (TND) — President Joe Biden skipped an evening meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at the 2022 G7 summit to “go to bed,” according to a new report by the Wall Street Journal." "German officials had reportedly arranged the meeting to be in the early evening to accommodate Biden’s sleep schedule. Despite this, the president did not show, “surprising” the chancellor." Not a surprise from the Demented Fuhrer. No joke.

Biden has been enabled to pretend all's fine in the WH, when it clearly is not. In the past, Dr Jill, Joe's family and inner circle all knew they could get away with just about anything because the MSM had their back. If necessary the media would slip/slide through parsing and whatever else it took to explain away anything questionable about the Dems. This time, however, they all got caught--done in by the Hair-sniffing Ringmaster himself and his inexplicably disastrous debate performance. The media got caught with their colluded pants down and have lost credibility so they're all now becoming snitches and ratting on each other. It's a joy to behold. But all of that aside, "showing signs of aging" should not be considered reason alone for Biden to step aside. NORMAL aging is well, normal. To those of you who aren't there yet, aging is not for sissies, that's for sure. Is 81 "too old" to be POTUS or not? Just because a person is old does not mean they are demented. The 2 are NOT mutually exclusive. The problem with Biden is not his AGE. It's his DEMENTIA.

Chuck Todd just admitted he knew this for two years and covered it up. He can never be trusted, not that there was any doubt he was reliable.

As I have said many times, Joe Biden's problem is not age. It's dementia. I knew a man, related to a well-known public figure, who was still practicing law in his 90's. And doing it well. He was still sharper and knew more law than most attorneys half his age.

Barack enabled Pedo Joe by elevating him a couple of steps above his maximum tier on the Peter Principle scale. No wonder Joe and Jill became ambitious and wanted the presidency. Democrats, being what they are, would vote for a dairy cow if it had a "D" in front of its name.

After the 2016 election, the left wingers took over the Dem party. Joe is their perfect puppet. He does everything they ask of him. That's why they were the first to rally to his side when the elites wanted to dump Joe. They are his enablers.

Before gunshots erupted at former President Donald Trump's campaign rally on Saturday, one police officer had confronted the now identified shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks on the roof of a nearby building, according to two law enforcement officials who spoke to the Associated Press on Sunday. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, was speaking at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday evening when he was shot on stage, with a bullet hitting the upper part of his right ear. The suspected gunman, now identified by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as 20-year-old Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed by the Secret Service.

Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, penned a lengthy thread on X about the hyperbole in American politics, urging politicians to stop framing their opponents as "fascists." The vulnerable Democrat congressman took to X to denounce the current path that he says the country is on, adding that leaders need to guide America down a different one. "We can start by dropping hyperbolic threats about the stakes of this election," he wrote. "It should not be misleadingly portrayed as a struggle between democracy or authoritarianism or a battle against fascists or socialists bent on destroying America. These are dangerous lies."

Ronald Reagan’s legend began after he was shot. With his doctors soon to operate, he quipped, “I hope you’re all Republicans.” He told his wife, “Honey, I forgot to duck.” The coolness reinforced his image as America’s new leading man. “One of the political axioms, I have always felt, was you concentrate on your strength,” Reagan’s longtime strategist, Richard Wirthlin, once told me. The shooting accentuated an impression. Reagan had shown poise under fire. He was still a new president when he was shot in 1981. Public approval would only modestly, and fleetingly, rise. But the impression lasted. The image of Donald Trump with streaks of blood across his face

Having just spent a week padding about battle sites around Verdun and the Somme, I could not help but register the historical vibration of certain dates. Was it entirely coincidental that on July 18, 1918, Ferdinand Foch, the Allied Supreme Commander, launched a major counteroffensive against the Germans in the Second Battle of the Marne? That operation was the beginning of the end for the Boche. They sued for peace in November after American General John Pershing crushed the German forces near Montfaucon, northwest of Verdun.

What you need to know. Former US President Donald Trump was whisked off stage by security service agents after gunshots were heard at a rally in Pennsylvania. His team quickly confirmed he was doing fine. Shortly after, Trump said in a post on Truth Social that his ear was grazed by a bullet. The FBI has taken over from the US Secret Service to investigate the case. Hours after the attack, Trump thanked supporters for their "thoughts and prayers" and said it was important to remain "defiant in the face of wickedness."

The assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump left a nation stunned. But the most shocking aspect was that it was not nearly as surprising as it should have been. For months, politicians, the press and pundits have escalated reckless rhetoric in this campaign on both sides. That includes claims that Trump was set to kill democracy, unleash “death squads” and make homosexuals and reporters “disappear.” President Biden has stoked this rage rhetoric. In 2022, Biden held his controversial speech before Independence Hall where he denounced Trump supporters as enemies of the people. Biden recently referenced the speech and has embraced the claims that this could be our last democratic election.

The dark reality of Bidenomics is the alarming 19.5% inflation under the President’s watch, which is 5.7% annually. When he took office, inflation was at just 1.4%. Since March 2021, inflation has consistently remained above the Federal Reserve's 2% target for 40 consecutive months. Under Biden, the federal debt has increased by $6.9 trillion. To finance his spending spree, the Federal Reserve printed money from nothing. The increased money supply, without a corresponding increase in goods and services, reduced the value of each dollar, causing prices to rise quickly and leading to high inflation, effectively acting as a hidden tax on everyone.

Leonid Brezhnev led the former Soviet Union as General Secretary of the Communist Party until 1982. But like most Russian apparatchiks who excessively smoked, drank, and gained weight, he aged prematurely. Also like them, his disabilities never led to his abdication. By Brezhnev's late 60s and early 70s, he was too ill to travel abroad or make public appearances. Indeed, his debility left the Soviet Union without a real leader for the final six or seven years of his tenure. Brezhnev got away with it because the Soviet state-controlled media doctored photos and videos to attest to his supposedly vigorous health and constant hands-on involvement.

There is one key reason why President Biden is stubbornly insisting — despite calls from some fellow Democrats to step aside — that he will not drop out of his race for reelection: Jill Biden. The first lady is clearly the driving force behind his stumbling, grumbling, bumbling, mumbling bid for a second term despite obvious signs that he is not up to the rigors of the world’s toughest job for four more years. Jill hungrily appears to want to cling to the White House more tenaciously than Mr. Biden. She clearly loves the public spotlight and the perks of the office too much to let them go.

Law enforcement officials admitted it was “surprising” how the gunman was able to get so many shots off in the attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump before he was taken out by Secret Service snipers. During a press conference early Sunday, officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pennsylvania State Police deferred several questions about security to the Secret Service — who were notably absent. When asked if he was surprised at the number of shots the gunman was able to take at a former president, Kevin Rojek, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh field office, said:

The gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump Saturday was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, sources told The Post. Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pa., squeezed off shots — one of which grazed Trump in the ear — at an outdoor rally in Butler, just outside Pittsburgh. Sources said Crooks was planted on a roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards away from the stage at Butler Farm Show grounds. He was killed by Secret Service snipers. An AR-style rifle was later recovered. Bethel Park is a village 40 miles south of where the Butler rally was held. Why Crooks fired on the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is unclear.

The gun used in the attempted assassination was an “AR-style 556 rifle” that was purchased legally, FBI Special Agent Kevin Rojek tells reporters.

Ever. Period. No exception. We can’t allow this violence to be normalized,” Biden said. Biden spoke for about five minutes from the Oval Office.
