Joe Biden’s ‘Big Boy’ Press Conference
Is a Disaster for the Democrats

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 7/11/2024 9:09:20 PM

On Thursday evening, Joe Biden held what was widely dubbed his "big boy" press conference. Originally scheduled for 5:30 pm ET, it was delayed an hour, before again being pushed to 7:00 pm and then 7:15 pm. It was a rough start, for sure. Biden sounded hoarse at times, coughed quite a bit, and sounded like he had cotton in his mouth and nostrils. But, it was a campaign speech through and through. He repeated the same old stump speech lines that we've heard over and over and that haven't resonated with the public. Of course, the speech was irrelevant. The questions and answers

The thing is, though, we need to be careful here, as we do NOT want Joe to drop out.

The Biden performance was that of the dog that dances on his hind legs: It’s not that he does it well, but that he does it at all.

As a decrepit, senile, demented old coot he did well. As POTUS seeking four more years he was a disaster. All in all the needle didn’t move much.

If I'm Trump and the Republicans, I'd call this presser a success. Joe did well enough to keep Emperor Obama and Nurse Nancy at bay. And it's gonna be a "Groundhog Day" watching this happen over and over and over through November. We just have to keep our eyes open for tricks from the press and IC/deep state. And win not only for the White House but also Congress and state offices.

Fox News host Jesse Watters recently conducted a sit-down interview with former President Trump to discuss last week's failed assassination attempt. The interview, which will premiere on "Jesse Watters Primetime" on Monday night at 8 p.m. ET, featured both Trump and his vice presidential candidate JD Vance. Vance currently serves as a U.S. Senator representing Ohio. The three men discussed the assassination attempt against the former president last week. Gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks shot at Trump from a roof in the middle of a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, wounding the presidential candidate on his right ear. Trump revealed during the interview that he was not warned about Crooks by the U.S. Secret Service.

Independent Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia on Sunday called on President Biden to step aside. "He will go down with a legacy unlike many people as one of the finest and surely a patriot, an American," Manchin said of Biden during an appearance on ABC's "This Week." "And so with that, I come with a heavy heart to think the time has come for him to pass the torch to a new generation." Manchin changed his party registration from Democrat to independent this year, though he still caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate. ABC host Martha Raddatz asked Manchin directly if he believes Biden should step aside

GRAND Rapids - Former President Donald Trump said Saturday immigration wound up being his guardian angel. Speaking at his first campaign rally since surviving an assassination attempt, Mr. Trump told the raucous crowd gathered here if he had not turned his head at the rally in Bulter, Pennsylvania, last week to highlight a chart showing the influx of illegal immigrants under President Biden he would be dead. “I owe immigration my life,” Mr. Trump said, adding he is going to be keeping that chart close. “I think I am going to sleep with it tonight.”

Fifty-five years ago, Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin made history when they became the first humans to set foot on the moon. Their mission, Apollo 11, was considered an American victory in the Cold War and subsequent space race, meeting President John F. Kennedy's goal of "landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth" before the end of the decade. More than half a billion people are estimated to have watched on television as Armstrong climbed down the ladder of the Eagle lunar lander and proclaimed, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

Al-Masirah published footage showing the aftermath of strikes on the refinery, which the IDF later confirmed the strike. IDF fighter jets struck Houthi military targets in the area of the Hodeidah Port in Yemen, the IDF confirmed Saturday evening. Israeli airstrikes reportedly targeted oil refining facilities in Yemen's Hodeidah, according to the Houthi-run Yemeni news outlet, Al-Masirah. Israel's Defense Ministry reported that discussions on approving the operational plans to strike in Yemen took place on Saturday morning under the lead of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, alongside IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and other senior defense officials.

One of the most disturbing things about the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump is how, on an almost daily basis, we learn new details about the extent of the security failures surrounding the event. According to the Wall Street Journal, the gunman who attempted to kill Donald Trump managed to fly a drone and capture aerial footage of the western Pennsylvania fairgrounds shortly before the former president was scheduled to speak there. This is the latest disturbing development from law enforcement officials briefed on the incident.

The push to get Joe Biden out of the 2024 presidential race continues. The New York Times is now reporting that Obama himself saw how senile the president was at an infamous Los Angeles fundraiser back in mid-June. At the time, essentially all mainstream press outlets rushed to dismiss the viral video showing Biden freezing for multiple seconds on stage before being led off by the former president. That incident began the now-defunct "cheap-fakes" campaign from the White House. Here was Karine Jean-Pierre's response two days after the fundraiser.

Despite the fact that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries bullied the DNC into a temporary delay in holding a so-called "virtual roll call" to nominate President Joe Biden weeks before the Democrat National Convention, the DNC decided today to stick to their plans to nominate Biden early and lock him in as the candidate in early August. Chaos reigns still in the Democrat Party, as does the civil war that threatens to demolish the party even before they likely lose spectacularly this November. By now the vast majority of Democrats--if you believe the polling--want Biden to bow out of the race, and momentum has built

Given Joe Biden's issues, it often sparks the thought, "Who is running things?" since Biden seems not to know what is going on so much of the time. Biden is now "isolating" in Rehoboth Beach, allegedly with COVID. As we noted at various spots coming back from Las Vegas to Delaware, Biden was not wearing a mask, and he had trouble even getting into a car at one point. But just after 8:00 p.m. ET on Friday, Biden (or the intern who tweets from his account) began posting a slew of things about watching former President Donald Trump's RNC remarks because he was sick. If that were true,

Leaders of labor unions are reportedly backing away from President Joe Biden, suggesting they want another Democrat candidate in his place. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), are actively courting support from union workers who are increasingly out of line with the Democrat Party’s upper-middle-class leftism. On Friday, leaders with Local 3000 of the United Food and Commercial Workers of Washington publicly demanded Biden quit his reelection bid. “If President Biden continues to demonstrate that he is unable to effectively campaign, and subsequently loses in November,

One of the problems with Joe Biden has always been is that he doesn't live in reality. He makes up things that aren't true, in order to pander to audiences or to pump himself up. He verbally attacks people who dare to challenge him, He often responds with lies. But that not living in reality has carried over to his team and his family, I think, when it comes to the present situation that he's in, as top Democrats engage in an effort to shove him out. Meanwhile, the leaks about what's going on behind the scenes continue. The campaign had an "all staff call"

The strongest argument against replacing President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee is the notion that no suitable successor exists. But there is, and not just a good one but one of the most qualified people ever to run for the office: Hillary Rodham Clinton. For what feels like longer than two weeks, we have publicly and endlessly debated about Biden’s candidacy. Democrats have repeatedly called on him to make a decision. It is damaging, divisive and only serves to further improve Donald Trump’s chances.

Warren posted to X: [Tweet, video] Among the X users who responded to Warren’s post, one wrote, “Better idea, ban #DemocratViolence Nationwide and the problem goes away immediately!” Another wrote, “Why are you so concerned about if people should be able to defend themselves or not?

The Democrat party is in disarray as they try to push Joe Biden out of the way. Obama and Pelosi are orchestrating damaging leaks to the media in an effort to drive Biden out of the 2024 race. Joe Biden is currently fuming at his Rehoboth Beach house as Democrats plan a coup against him with rumors of an open convention. Kamala Harris is jumping on donor calls and rallying supporters in North Carolina as Biden hides at his beach compound. The media is pushing Kamala Harris as the perfect alternative to Joe Biden. However, an author floated twice-failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton as the perfect Biden replacement in an op-ed for The Hill.

HONOLULU— David Letterman will headline a fundraiser with President Joe Biden in 10 days with Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, a sign that his campaign is forging ahead despite continued calls for the president to bow out of the 2024 race. The fundraiser on July 29 will be at the home of a family friend on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, Green told The Associated Press Friday. It will feature the longtime late-night host, plus Biden and first lady Jill Biden. The campaign has at least 10 other fundraising events over the last 10 days of July. Letterman helmed CBS’ “Late Show” for 22 seasons.

Interestingly, Nancy Pelosi held a meeting with the California House delegation on July 10th, nine days ago, to strategize how to exit Biden without a “coronation of Kamala Harris.” Details of the meeting are only coming out now. Keep in mind, only through an “open convention” process can someone other than Kamala Harris take over the ticket. Pelosi gives the appearance of calling for the democrat base to have a say in the replacement, but in actuality it’s the only way the club insiders can select a nominee that’s not Kamala Harris.

The former president was shot by a “bullet that pierced the upper part” of his right ear after 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire from the rooftop of a nearby building,

Nancy Pelosi wants him out. Chuck Schumer wants him out. Even Barack Obama, who may have been the man in real charge of this entire administration, wants him out. Americans who are tired of suffering the nation’s slow and seemingly inexorable decline certainly want him out. But Old Joe Biden is digging in his heels. He and his dwindling coterie of supporters are the last people on the planet who still insist that their man is sharp-witted, energetic, and ready to serve until he is a hale and hearty 86 years old. And so it looks as if the Democrats are stuck with Joe. Or are they?
