Back in the days before Obama and in those halcyon years of the 20th century when someone stated something that was considered a “conspiracy theory” those who wished to debunk it simply broke out actual evidence that could clearly demonstrate that someone was talking nonsense.
It was the standard way of silencing people who were talking nonsense, you’d show the math, you’d display your work and thus easily show that the various worries and fears of impossible things were, in fact baseless and thus belonged in the category of “conspiracy theory”.
But over the last 10 years this has changed. Our friends on the left when confronted by questions they did not want to deal with have basically shouted “conspiracy theory” without bothering with the pesky business of disproving various claims, the accusation itself was enough.
Thus the reaction by the left to this story out of Georgia:
The Georgia State Election Board passed a rule Monday giving local election officials additional power to investigate ballot counts before certifying the results, a move critics say could inject chaos into the 2024 election and delay the state’s official vote count.
The “Rule for Reconciliation Prior to Certification” will allow for a hand recount of votes to ensure “the total number of ballots cast” does not exceed “the total number of persons who voted,” according to the language of the rule.
County election officials will now be allowed to investigate any possible discrepancies.
The NY Times describes this as a “right wing takeover” and the CNN story is full of, as Citizen Free Press calls it “Democrat Tears” but the bottom line is this.
If the cries of “stolen elections” are simply a “conspiracy theory” then a hand recount should be welcomed by our friends on the left as a simple way to verify what they already claim is the case.
Because you don’t need “massive turnout” to counteract verification if actual votes are there do you?
Well I guess we won’t be hearing Democrats talking about the threats to Democracy and the sancity of the vote now that the only person who the left allowed Democrat voters to choose in the primary has now been forced out.
To paraphrase Archie Bunker, I’m sure that Kamala will do a hell of a job for a person no primary voter voted for.
It didn’t even take a full day for the left to start attacking Trump over his age now that Biden is gone.
Of course that likely would have been a much stronger attack if Trump hadn’t survived an assassin’s bullet in a manor that screams testosterone.
Another thing that came instantly to mind was that the steal is on.
I had argued that if Democrats were resigned to losing this election you might as well leave Biden on the ticket as you don’t want to tag an up and comer with defeat.
But on Twitter a few days ago I saw the best Democrat case for getting rid of old Joe:
*THIS* is why we're seeing an internal feud in the Democratic Party about removing Joe Biden.
I guess the steal is on, but does Kamala have the polling numbers they need for this?
At least one positive thing for Democrats, it’s being reported that now that Biden is not running donors have opened their spigots wide.
They might have one of their best fundraising days in a while and yet we still don’t know for sure if Harris is the nominee.
Hey the consultants will be happy anyways.
One thing that the GOP should do is fight fight fight.
If there are laws in various states, particularly ones that the left want to steal, that might prohibit Biden from being taken off the ballot or keeping Kamala or another Democrat from getting on the GOP should go full lawfare on all of this.
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:
Biden insists he’s staying
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
His pick would not be would not be a threat to any up and coming dem
As an old man at the end of his career a six month stint as VP would not be beyond him
He has name recognition and popularity among the black vote which the Dems need
His record in SF would appeal to the left.
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.
As I’ve been pondering who is actually running this country a thought hit me.
For a very long time we’ve been told that Joe Biden’s team skipped the normal primary order in order to maximize the black vote which he had an advantage with and discourage primary opponents. That statement was very plausible and everyone including me believed that this was the primary reason for this decision.
Well now an even more plausible explanation comes to the forefront. Consider this:
On July 4, 2021, Biden hosted a party on the South Lawn in which he declared “independence” from the coronavirus pandemic.
It was a hot day and after hours outside, Biden went back into the White House through the Diplomatic Room, and then into the nearby Map Room.
Biden sat down and the door was abruptly shut as Biden’s aides blocked the White House butlers and residence staff from aiding the president.
They suggested to the staffers that the president was just a little overheated. But the episode left residence staff feeling like his close aides were creating a barrier around anything possibly related to the president’s health, the former official said.
Two points:
This is from Axos not Breitbart, not Fox News, not Hotair, not Me. They are left Left LEFT.
This event is from 2021 which means this has gone on for YEARS!
In other word this has been known for years.
And THAT’S why there is no way Joe Biden could take part in the New Hampshire Primary.
I have covered the NH primary in person. It is all about meeting people face to face, talking to people face to face dealing with individuals.
There is absolutely no way Joe Biden could do this and hide the state of his decline to New Hampshire voters. Not in intimate and personal settings, it would not be done. If he went there as he is and tried to do so he would have not only lost the primary to whatever democrat faced him, he would have lost the nomination.
And that would be that the Obama team would no longer be in charge of this White House, of the foreign policy of the US, of the economic policy of the US. It would be all over.
And THIS is the reason why Joe Biden skipped the New Hampshire primary, not to discourage any challenger but to preserve his candidacy which would have ended right there in the Granite State.
