Biden debates with this opening statement:

Donald is a better debater than I am but a much worse candidate to be President and let me tell you why:

[turns to Trump]

Donald, you’ve proven yourself to be a serial liar and a loser who cannot lose gracefully or even admit defeat.

> You write love letters to dictators who murder journalists and political opponents.

> You’re a tool of Vladimir Putin in his quest to conquer Ukraine and reconstitute the former Soviet Union. The only part of the 2016 Republican Party platform you touched — the only part! — was not about real estate or taxes or the problems of working men and women – it was about weakening our support for Ukraine.

> You failed to improve on Obamacare even though you claimed to have a secret plan to deliver — and I quote — “terrific health care at a tiny fraction of the cost.” The only piece of that plan you revealed was Step One: REPEALING it. Your Republican colleagues voted over and over — 52 times! — for repeal but never succeeded, thank God.

> You failed to make any progress on infrastructure, even though you called week after week “Infrastructure Week.”

> You don’t do your homework. Being a GOOD president requires a lot of actual work, not just watching TV, throwing paper towels to hurricane victims, and playing golf.

> I could go on and on, but the biggest reason you would make a terrible president is that what you really want to be is a dictator, not a president.

> That’s in part because you admire dictators — you even started your 2016 campaign with a quote from Mussolini, for crying out loud — and in part so you can shut down the multiple criminal cases pending against you, for which you are currently out on bail.

> So go ahead and win this debate by being loud or bullying or making up what you call “alterative facts.”

> But no matter how many $60 Bibles you sell quoting “two Corinthians” to raise cash to pay your lawyers, may God keep you from realizing your unAmerican vision of vengeance and retribution.

A New York City nonprofit that received more than $12 million from Goldman Sachs' charitable arm encouraged anti-Israel activists to re-create the violent protests of "the summer of 2020," just hours before rioters stormed and occupied a building on Columbia University’s campus.

More than 100 masked and keffiyeh-clad activists convened in the People’s Forum’s Manhattan office Monday evening to plan their next moves as anti-Israel protests reach a fever pitch across the country. The meeting, which was scheduled to start at 6:45 p.m., was delayed to give protesters from Columbia time to make it downtown.

Just 39 percent of voters are enthusiastic about the impending rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The lack of excitement is no surprise: both men are deeply unpopular.

What is surprising, however, is the large partisan enthusiasm gap. According to fresh polling from Monmouth, 63 percent of Republicans are “very” or “somewhat” enthusiastic about the election, compared to just 36 percent of Democrats. This 27-point gap places Democratic enthusiasm closer to that of independents—a group that usually slots in significantly below firmer partisans.

This reluctance extends across key components of the Democratic coalition. Younger voters are less enthusiastic than those 55+ and non-white voters are less enthusiastic than white non-college voters—both findings reflected in polling that shows deflated Democratic margins with these groups.

While certainly a warning sign, losing the enthusiasm war is not necessarily a death knell for Biden. In 2012, Barack Obama won reelection despite a Republican enthusiasm advantage (though it was significantly smaller than Biden’s deficit today). There remains five months to rally the troops and narrow the gap. But Trump antagonism alone is not enough to hold the presidency. The reelect must work hard to turn reluctant supporters—who risk staying home or voting third party—into enthusiastic ones who can build grassroots momentum for the campaign.

You have repeated that incantation thousands of times. You are not Harry Potter and your words are not a magic spell. Will you break your wand when it does not conjure into existence a Trump administration?

Cognitive Decline: Biden Campaign Says They Will Shorten His Speeches
Sunday, May 05, 2024 - 12:45 PM

Who is actually running the country?

The Biden campaign team has admitted that they are seeking to shorten his speeches, claiming that they are seeking “quality over quantity,” but leading many to presume it is because he can barely talk.

Biden Deputy Campaign manager Quentin Fulks told MSBNC:

“Our campaign believes in quality over quantity. We believe that these touches, these smaller things that are getting to the point about what is going on in the stakes of this election are gonna be easier for the voters to tap into.”

The announcement led many to ask, how much shorter can his speeches get?
At the moment he can barely manage three minutes without slurring and losing a battle with the teleprompter.
The campaign like to air pre recorded speeches, that have scores of edits and cuts in them, blatantly because he struggles to speak more than one sentence at a time

Why Are There 30 Cuts In This 2 Minute Biden Speech?
Steve Watson
22nd February

He can’t talk for more than 5 seconds
A pre-recorded video shared Tuesday to the official “POTUS” account on X has a whopping THIRTY cuts, prompting yet more questions about Biden’s mental acuity.

The video shows Biden making a short speech about NATO, and remarkably he doesn’t slur a single word or struggle to read his script as he does in every other situation.

Of course, it’s a pre-recorded video so they’re not going to leave in mistakes.

However, it is the sheer amount of cuts that has people asking the question, is he capable of completing more than one sentence at a time?

It doesn’t seem that way.

Here’s what Biden normally sounds like: (link to video)

Here’s what he sounded like yesterday: (link to video)

Some people counted 29 cuts in the latest video, others counted over 30.

It’s a lot.

If you do the math(s) it works out at Biden being coherent for 5 seconds at a time.

Quite frankly, the hypocrisy and holier-than-thou attitude of the United States toward Israel is truly infuriating.

The Pentagon recently announced that last year, on May 3, 2023, they mistakenly killed a civilian. It was not just a misguided, errant bullet that killed him. The United States had tracked a 53-year-old shepherd in northern Syria with a highly sophisticated Predator Drone. And then they launched a Hellfire Missile that blew him to smithereens. The Hellfire, a guided smart bomb, is not very big, it’s about five feet long, but the cost is ginormous – about $150,000 per missile. The Predator Drone, however, is huge. It is 28 feet long and has a wingspan of between 48 and 66 feet.

Turns out, the United States tracked a simple shepherd named Lufti Hassan Masto thinking he was an al-Qaeda leader. They were wrong. A year later, after “a thorough investigation,” the Pentagon admitted its mistake.

Oops!

...

The IDF is doing its best to prevent civilian deaths even to the point of often endangering its own forces – and the United States knows that fully well.

So, while I applaud the Pentagon for admitting that they mistakenly killed a Syrian shepherd, I just wish they would apply the same standard to Israel that they apply to themselves. But for now, that act of understanding and global recognition doesn’t seem to fit their agenda.

It’s more than infuriating – It’s shameful.

There was, if hazy memories recall correctly, a time when the Democratic Party was merely an alternative to the Republican Party and not a threat to the country. Those days are gone. Today’s Democrats are in the business of wracking, ruining and razing.

The Biden administration, says former Hawaiian Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, is “destroying the foundational, fundamental elements of our country and what it means to be an American.”

Speaking recently to Dave Rubin of the Rubin Report, Gabbard noted that “we have seen now consistently throughout his entire administration over these last three and a half years, consistently pushing policies that undermine our freedom, that make our country less safe and less secure, and that is very quickly unraveling and” wrecking the backbone of the country.

Though Gabbard left the party not even two years ago, what we’re seeing is not new. The political left, says author David Horowitz, has long been filled with radical activists who “cannot be negotiated with.”

“There is no living alongside it. Either Americans defeat the Neo-Nazi Left or the Neo-Nazi Left defeats America,” says Horowitz.
