Paint Your Wagon 1969

The primary plan of the Democrat party for election 2024 was three fold:

  • Lawfare against Donald Trump to cripple his candidacy (Backfired spectacularly)
  • Avoid the Biden record and discussion of Biden at all costs (partly successful)
  • Make the election about Donald Trump (failing)

The lawfare against Trump has been intensive, varied and if nothing else creative. Alas it has run so over the top that the American people have seen it for what it is. Combine this with the Supreme Court not enabling these legal machinations (alas Dems can’t cherry pick the judges on SCOTUS and while Justice Roberts Old Yellowstain alone is enough to send Steve Bannon to jail he’s not enough to change a vote with 5 justices already calling BS on the dems.

On avoiding Biden’s record there has been mixed success here on one hand there has almost been nothing said about the Biden record, at least nothing truthful. Democrats and their media buddies still insist the Biden economy, you know the one that caused my employer to give my shift the choice of either a 10% cut in hours or a voluntary day off today (I took the 10% and am going in for the half day today) is spectacular, still avoid calling him out of Russia, Israel, the rise of Iran and even the depletion of the strategic oil reserve not to mention the rise of antisemitism in leftist enclaves nationwide. The complaint media still has Joe Biden’s back there.

What they CAN’T hide since 9 pm on June 27th is the dementia and being desperate to conceal their complicity in enabling the grift for the last four years have gone all in for the big lie that they had no idea and thus are treating Joe Biden campaign’s insistence that he’s fine with all the credibility that they treat anyone who threatens the power of the left. This has become the only story in the country as the left is in full panic mode. It’s so bad that comics now feel comfortable making Joe Biden jokes and that a true disaster.

The real problem here is that if Biden fails to leave on his own and the left is unable to kill him without plausible deniability (don’t doubt for a moment they wouldn’t) the press is going to have to pivot to protecting Biden at all costs. That’s going to be a neat trick.

But it’s plan C, making the election about Donald Trump that has been the hardest thing. It’s been hampered by two developments, one foreseen and one unforeseen.

The foreseen element is that Trump was president for four years and his record of success compared to the Biden years is in living memory. To use my own example, as I mentioned my own job gave us a choice to lose 10% of our hours this week involuntarily or lose 1/4 of our ours voluntarily, I suspect it’s too make up for the paid holiday last week. During the Trump years when we still had 3 warehouses instead of one in the town where I work and when we still had a 2nd shift a paid holiday meant we were notified that we would have a mandatory 8 hour shift on one of our days off to handle the volume we lost. That’s how busy we always were. Lying about and avoiding the subject has proved effective with Trump haters but not so much with people actually effected by the Biden economy but that was always a tough sell and it was to be expected.

What was NOT expected was Donald Trump making the case that he at only 4 years younger than Biden is cognitive enough to see the situation on the ground and adapt. It’s very hard to get a person in their 70’s to change their style and Trump’s style is to be in the limelight.

But having seen the train wreck he quickly figured out that the best and wisest course of action is to keep doing his rallies that the left media continues to ignore (as they can’t allow Trump to be heard unfiltered) while not making headlines. I would even not be surprised if he is reconsidering his VP choice as some states move closer to his column. A popular GOP figure from Minnesota, Michigan or even New Jersey which is now in play could change everything. I would not even be surprised to see Governor Sununu being considered (to the horror of some of us) to bring NH into the fold.

The democrat media complex could not foresee that Trump. the lover of the spotlight, would have the discipline to do this and this discipline has driven them completely off the rails not only because it proves that even in his late 70’s his cognitive and strategic functions are still on the ball but because it doesn’t allow them to change the subject so the election can be about something other than Joe Biden.

It’s just goes to show that the good Lord works in mysterious ways.

Two days ago I tweeted out this important reminder that the left wants you to forget:

I plan on retweeting this on a daily basis until the election but I think Victor Davis Hansen makes the point even better in his latest:

Bidengate is far worse than Watergate. The media this time around was not exposing the wrongdoing of a conservative president but instead serving as a force multiplier in deceiving the very American people it was supposed to inform. “Democracy Dies in Deceit” is now the Washington Post’s de facto motto.

Remember, the left is worried only that Biden is so challenged that he cannot win an election. But they are not bothered that he has no business continuing in his dementia as commander-in-chief and putting the country in real danger each day he occupies the oval office—a bitter paradox that is beginning to infuriate the American people.

Bidengate and the Doom Loop

Never forget this: The Purpose of the media is to support the left’s quest for power at all costs and whatever it does, reports or says is to that end:

When they could help the left gain and/or retain power by ignoring Biden’s condition they did it.

When they could help the left gain/retain power they reported it.

But never forget that this is their bottom line.

Of all the aspects of the great reveal (at least to Americans) about the condition of Joe Biden the part that has bothered me the most has been that nobody at all seems to care to publicly ask the question: Who’s the actual Boss who is functioning as President of the United States?

You don’t see it asked on TV, you don’t hear it asked on Talk Radio and certainly nobody in the press is asking the question.

I suspect this is because a lot of us on the right don’t need to be told. We figured out that this was Obama’s 3rd term from day 1 and don’t need to be told who has been actively and purposely destroying this country over the last three years and contrarywise nobody on the left wants to acknowledge that they’re OK with having an unelected and unaccountable person (or persons) ruling over them. Well except for Bill Mahar. That’s the “Democracy” they’re looking to save.

In terms of the health of this republic on the anniversary of its birth that’s the saddest thing of all.


The first big lie concerning this has been telling us Joe Biden is fit for office, the 2nd Big lie that the media has been pushing is that they had no idea this was going on.

That is the primary reason why you suddenly see Jake Tapper asking tough questions, the MSM suddenly generating stories about Biden’s mental health etc.

The Obama team that’s running the show knows even they can’t salvage the credibility of this administration to the left, but it’s vital that they salvage the credibility of the press or their usefulness is at an end.


Over the weekend there were conflicting reports on if the decision was made to Drop Joe Biden or not was made, Bill O’Reilly tells us that the decision to drop Biden has in fact been made and I think the best proof of it was the decision to send Joe Biden out to make a four minute speech from a teleprompter and then door dash away.

One doesn’t make that kind of decision if you are trying to convince the American people that old Joe is just fine and dandy, but you DO if you want to erode support for keeping him on the ticket from a voter base that (God knows why) is actually fond of him while convincing the no longer useful idiots of the Biden family that they need to go without having to arrange his demise that’s the way to do it.

That in fact was, in my opinion, the reason for arranging the debate so early. When this happens the Obama team has the time to remove him and if he had somehow managed to muddle through that’s four more years of the US run by our enemies.


One of the most significant reports that I’ve heard so far has been that Biden has been using a teleprompter at big money donor events for a very long time now.

While one should not doubt the ability of humans to ignore painful truths that they don’t want to acknowledge to any donor that should have been a gigantic clue as to what is actually going on. Apparently all these big money Donors who have been opening up their checkbooks for this administration for the last three years didn’t care that Biden wasn’t in charge as long as they were getting their cuts and priorities from those who were.

But now that the general public knows suddenly they can’t see pouring money down the drain. That stoppage of the feed trough is the best chance they have of convincing the Biden family to step aside without the Obama team having to arrange an “accident”.

Or as Sarah Hoyt put it:

I’ll get ahead of the news, Biden didn’t kill himself


While all of this creates a lot of trouble for the left the biggest problem the big reveal has created is that it’s taken the focus of the election off of Donald Trump and puts it on Joe Biden.

The single biggest strength of the left is the irrational hatred so many Americans have of Donald Trump. During the Trump years we had a good economy, successes nationally and internationally and the most robust dissent allowed without penalty. Yet the media/left has managed to sell the belief to their useful idiots that Trump who will be a lame duck as soon as he is elected, will somehow become a dictator putting people in camps despite the fact all these folks lived through the Trump administration without finding themselves oppressed by Dictatorship.

But between the SCOTUS rulings short circuiting the various trials and sentencings and the Biden dementia scandal the focus of the election has been taken off of Donald Trump and placed on Joe Biden.

Given the Biden economy, the riots, the wars and the economy as bad as I’ve ever seen in my life (Bob’s stores are the latest victims of it) the last thing the left wants is for this election to be a referendum on the Biden Administration. As long as it remains so Trump has a chance to create a vote margin between him and his opponent “too big to rig”.

This is why I think the 137 days to election day are going to be the most dangerous days for the American Republic in my lifetime because we are going to see the left make moves consistent with a desperate cornered animal.

Today I was going to post about the stunning and brave move to send Joe Biden out for a full four minutes to read from a teleprompter (yeah this guy is actually president) when something caught my eye.

Having seen that and not believing what I saw I wanted to re-watch the reactions of the CNN panel post debate so I went to CNN on youtube where they had a video of the panel. As I have to leave for work in a few minutes I’m going to tell the story in the four tweets my discovery produced.
