Captain Darling: So you see Blackadder. Field Marshall Haig is most anxious to eliminate all these German Spies..
General Melchett: Filthy hun weasels, fighting their dirty underhanded war!
Captain Darling: …and fortunately one of our spies…
General Melchett: Splendid fellows, brave heroes risking life and limb for Blighty!

Black Adder Goes Forth General Hospital 1989

I’ve written a lot about how things changed on June 27th because the media was shown to be either willingly incompetent: We didn’t know that Biden had elder issues or lying through their teeth: We knew what shape Biden was in but we weren’t about to tell you and disrupt the Democrat narrative.

This was a solid crisis for the MSM/left because the debate which apparently the Biden campaign figured Trump would duck due to the insane conditions that were set showed every single person in the media and government who INSISTED that those who said Joe Biden had elder issues. It was a real 2 Book of Samuel chapter 12 verse 12 moment when the Prophet Nathan says to David concerning his arranging the murder of Uriah the Hittite


You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down.'”

And thus for the last 16 days we’ve had report after report from the MSM concerning the mental health issues of Joe Biden from the same people who denied it for years.

The reaction from the MSM was panic as not only was this going on, but Donald Trump wasn’t stepping on this story media site after media site kept asking why wasn’t Trump stealing the spotlight? Even Meta & Instagram suddenly revoked the bans on Trump’s use of those accounts in the last 48 hours in the hopes that there might be a statement or image to change the story of Election 2024 from Joe Biden and return it to Donald Trump.

Be careful what you wish for.

Before I say another word let me give a shout out to this photographer who as this video shows, ran to the point of danger to get this shot. He showed the same guts under fire that Trump did.

Almost as soon as this assassination attempt took place all over twitter leftists complaining about the assassin missing were trending.

It reached the point where leftist’s online were urging other leftists to shut the hell up.

Suddenly the media turned on a dime. The same media who has for weeks been telling everyone that if Trump is re-elected it would be the end of democracy as we know it, who said Trump must be stopped at all costs, who have compared him to Hitler and INSISTED the comparison was apt.

That same media were not only Shocked SHOCKED that this thing could happen but were doubly shocked SHOCKED that attendees were blaming them:

And of course those who had been calling literally calling him as bad as Hitler

suddenly called for calm and a return to civility.

and were very disappointed that some republicans were upset

Never mind that we had stuff like this for a long time that wasn’t called out by the MSM:

Scott Jennings on CNN who called them out after the debate AGAIN called them out on air.

And the Babylon Bee absolutely nailed it

So once again the media has to turn on a dime and go from:

Trump is the most dangerous person on the planet!

to

Can’t we all just get along?

while pretending they never suggested this was the case. As Ladd Ehlinger put it:

And by an odd coincidence Joy Reid of MSNBC has locked down her twitter account.

Make of that what you will.

I suspect Drew Holden will have a collection of the MSM’s Trump comments in a day or two but here was my question in reply to a George Conway tweet.

So let’s repeat my question and address it to the MSM:

When you kept insisting that Trump was a threat to Democracy, worse than Hitler, a person waiting to become dictator of America were you lying?

And if not then why do you:

Regret the attempted assassination and/or call for the rhetoric to be tempered?

I think we deserve an answer.

Trump Has Passed The Cognitive Test By Adapting Dems Hardest Hit

Jacob Woodling: Quiet! Brigham Young has twenty seven wives and he hasn’t had half the trouble with them that I’ve had with the two of you!
Elizabeth: Then simplify your life, Jacob. Sell me.
Jacob Woodling: But Elizabeth: you don’t know what you’ll get.
Elizabeth: I know what I’ve had

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.

Under the Fedora: Has it Really only Been a week? The Trump Challenge, By Their Cuts Shall You Know, the #deepfakemedia or #deepshitmedia and Willie Brown for Kamala’s VP

Has it really only been a week?

If nothing else the last seven days has proved one of my favorite maxims about “Conventional Wisdom” true:

Conventional Wisdom is ALWAYS correct…right up until the moment it isn’t

Donald Trump has pretty much been following the old military maxim to not get in the way when your enemy is falling apart however he did interject himself slightly with a post on Truth social offering to go mano a mano in a 90 minute no moderator live debate anytime any place to give Joe Biden a chance to prove his assertion that’s he fine.

The White House can only ignore this offer as even if it’s held first thing in the morning with a gag tied around Trump’s mouth there is no way Joe “Black Woman” Biden could do this without disaster.

What a difference a week makes eh?

Van Jones is already saying the decision has been made to replace Biden even though:

  1. Biden insists he’s staying
  2. Legally he can’t be made to leave without his own consent or his death

The most effective way to remove the left’s no longer useful idiot Biden other than killing him and pretending it’s old age (at least plausible) or not catching him “in time” at his next fall (again plausible) would be to threaten to allow Merrick Garland to suddenly “discover” proof of all of the deals where the big man got his 10% but that of course conflicts with the new narrative of Biden as a “decent” man (a word I’m not heard to describe him in his 50 year career who has done good service but is now too old to go on.

We will know tonight after his interview with George “The fixer” Stephanopoulos. As the interview is taped we will know what the orders from those actually running the country are by the cut of that interview.

If it shows Biden in the best possible light in terms of lucidity then we know that they’ve decided the poll number demand Biden stay.

If it shows a cut where Biden is sympathetic but unable to function then you know the decision has been made to dump him and it’s just a matter of forcing the matter.

We’ll know tonight

The press is still going all out to try to pretend that they knew absolutely nothing about Joe Biden’s mental decline. At the moment their credibility is as healthy as the UK conservative party who just lost in a landslide to labor thanks to the emergence of the UK Reform party. This has to change if they are to be an effective weapon for the left in a 2nd Trump Term

While they will likely find enough people who want to be fooled to play along we now need a new nickname for the MSM. The obvious choice is the Schultz Brigade as they insist they saw nothing and knew NUTHing about Biden’s mental state

But as that reference even with the Family Guy update is a tad dated I think given their united insistence until 8 days ago that all of the video of Biden demonstrating his mental state were “deepfakes” I think from this point on the Mainstream Media should now be called the #deepshitmedia or if you want to be more polite and less accurate the #deepfakemedia

I’m fine with either choice

Finally if Joe Biden resigns from the president and Kamala Harris becomes POTUS the left will insist on a quick choice for VP as she would be one heartbeat away from America’s 3rd President Johnson.

To me the obvious choice is former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.

There are several reasons why he would be an excellent pick that checks several important boxes

  1. His pick would not be would not be a threat to any up and coming dem
  2. As an old man at the end of his career a six month stint as VP would not be beyond him
  3. He has name recognition and popularity among the black vote which the Dems need
  4. His record in SF would appeal to the left.
  5. He’s still articulate and would have no issue defending this administration

All solid and practical reasons but most of all it would be payback not only for a lifetime of service to the Democrat party but would be a personal sign of gratitude from the first woman president acknowledging that she would not have risen to the most powerful position in the world without his discovering her and giving her career the most passionate forward thrusts he could.

An important and realistic lesson to all young girls on the easiest way for a woman to get ahead.

The Growing Election 2024 Preference Cascade

Prime Minister James Hacker:  If there were a conflict of interests which side would the civil service really be on?

Bernard Woolley:  The winning side prime Minister

Yes Prime Minister:  A Real Partnership 1985

If there is one axiom in the political world it’s that people want to be on the winning side because it’s the winning side that will decide who gets the contracts and patronage that comes from government.

Furthermore it’s the losing side that tends to get scrutiny and if you are someone doing something dishonest or if the people who decide to examine you (think J6 committee) are dishonest.

This is what came to my mind when I saw this story:

On Friday, in a Fox News exclusive interview, former President Donald Trump reportedly received $12 million from tech company giants in the Silicon Valley fundraiser Thursday evening, and gained the expected endorsement from one of the Valley’s heavy hitters, David Sacks:

and this one:

You see people are figuring out which way the wind is blowing and have decided that it might be a good idea to follow that breeze rather than sail against it. They might not care for Trump and they may or may not have pure motives for it but they don’t want to be on the wrong side when all is said and done.

There is a passage in the book Lord Hornblower that is a great example of how such things work:

Two hours” said Hornblower “will be ample for all preparations to be made, for the deputation to assemble, for the streets to be decorated, for quarters to be prepared for His Royal Highness and his’s suite.”

“Monsieur, you do not understand all that this implies” protested the Mayor. “It means ”

“It means that you have having to decide whether to enjoy the King’s favour or not” .said Hornblower. “That is the choice before you.”

C. S. Forester: Lord Hornblower 1946

Now even late in the Napoleonic Wars such a decision to come out against Bonaparte carried danger, unfortunately for the Democrats this is the person they are crying Vive L’Empereur! for.

and this:

You don’t need the Journal to tell you that Biden is diminished. You need only to open your eyes. Go over Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report into Biden’s unauthorized removal of classified documents. Review Biden’s Oval Office meltdown after Hur released his findings. Watch Biden try to sit at a D-Day commemoration in France on Thursday.

Or read, if you dare, the transcript of Time magazine correspondent Massimo Calabresi and editor in chief Sam Jacobs’s recent interview of Biden. It appeared the same day as Linskey and Hughes’s story.

This is the interview where Biden says—twice—that Russia invaded Russia. Where, immediately after saying, “I’m not going to comment,”

or even this:

I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest if you’re reached the point of low level comics offering to hump a black voter if they come out against Trump odds are your side is not putting the fear of God into anyone..

The people see the writing on the wall and are acting accordingly.
