Joltin’ Joe Biden is going to fight on!

Remember: Axios reported that unnamed White House staffers told them that Joe Biden is “dependably engaged” between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM! Of course, a google search to see if any of the other major credentialed media picked up on that claim, even just to refute it, turned up nothing. The media are going to resolutely ignore it for as long as possible.

From The New York Times:

Biden’s Family Tells Him to Keep Fighting as They Huddle at Camp David

President Biden is trying to figure out how to tamp down Democratic anxiety after last week’s disastrous debate performance.

By Katie Rogers and Peter Baker | Sunday, June 30, 2024 | 4:47 PM EDT

President Biden’s family is urging him to stay in the race and keep fighting despite last week’s disastrous debate performance, even as some members of his clan privately expressed exasperation at how he was prepared for the event by his staff, people close to the situation said on Sunday.

That’s right: blame the staffers! Continue reading

We have a President willing to play nuclear patty-cake with Vladimir Putin, and he’s only lucid six hours a day? Even White House insiders are telling us that he can't answer the 3:00 AM phone call

I have used the image of this tweet from Democrats.org previously, but it’s gained new meaning. Note that the photo used shows a smiling, apparently robust Joe Biden, which the Democrats want you to believe that he is. With today’s news, I also noticed that it shows Mr Biden in the middle of a reasonably warm, sunny day.

Two Joe Bidens: The night America saw the other one

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” — George Orwell, 1984

New York Times partial front page, June 29, 2024.

The editors of The New York Times, as dedicated as they are to seeing former President Donald Trump defeated in the November elections, could not, in the end, ignore the evidence of their eyes and ears. Despite an article entitled “A day after his shaky debate, President Biden was forceful and confident while speaking to supporters,” showing on the front page of the Times website, though perhaps more appropriately entitled “Two Appearances, Two Starkly Different Bidens: A day after a shaky debate performance that led to talk of a new Democratic candidate, President Biden was forceful and confident while speaking to supporters,” in which the President performed at least reasonably lucidly, the newspaper’s lead editorial told us all we needed to know:

To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race

With Joe Biden sinking into senility, who’s running the country?

Well, of course they had to say it, even though it’s a lie, and everyone knows it’s a lie.

The Democrats used a picture of a smiling, robust-looking Joe Biden in their tweet proclaiming President Biden the winner of the debate, but their problem is that he was exposed as not robust, but a faltering and confused elderly man who is visibly sinking into dementia. Even The New York Times couldn’t hide the truth:

A Fumbling Performance, and a Panicking Party

President Biden’s shaky, halting debate performance has Democrats talking about replacing him on the ticket.

by Peter Baker | Thursday, June 27, 2024 | Updated: Friday, June 28, 2024 | 2:35 AM EDT

President Biden hoped to build fresh momentum for his re-election bid by agreeing to debate nearly two months before he is to be formally nominated. Instead, his halting and disjointed performance on Thursday night prompted a wave of panic among Democrats and reopened discussion of whether he should be the nominee at all. Continue reading

The problem isn’t mass incarceration; the problem is that not enough criminals are incarcerated, for not a long enough time.

All of my good friends in foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia, wracked by crime — despite the fact that reported crime is down — would love to hear news like I’m going to report below. Crime in Philly isn’t so down that it prevented Ramon Rodriguez Vazquez, 36, from — allegedly, of course! — shooting a 31-year-old Philadelphia Police officer following a traffic stop. While Mr Rodriguez-Vazquez has no rap sheet in the Keystone State, he was arrested in his native Puerto Rico in 2011 after he and another man, José M. Serrano Ares, 24, stole an SUV at gunpoint, and then shot at responding officers.

If he had been in jail in Puerto Rico last weekend, he could not have shot a Philly police officer. Continue reading

The credentialed media want to control what you know, as a means of influencing what you think.

We are always amused when liberal groups tell us how the news should be reported, and have frequently noted how our nation’s third oldest continuously published daily newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer, told us that they would censor the news when the news didn’t fit what they wanted to tell us.

Now comes The Journalist’s Resource, criticizing the credentialed media which do report the truth!

Research highlights need for public health approach in news reporting of gun violence

The study, published in BMC Public Health, reveals an overwhelming reliance on law enforcement narratives, missing deeper insights into the root causes and potential solutions to gun violence.

by Naseem S Miller | Tuesday, June 25, 2024

For decades, researchers have urged journalists to avoid framing gun violence solely as a crime issue and provide a broader public health context. Yet, as evidenced by the findings of a recent study of local TV news in Philadelphia, the focus on the crime angle remains very much at the forefront of gun violence coverage.

The article’s title itself is enough to tell the reader: The Journalist’s Resource is advocating that reporters present something other than the straight news, but to shade their reporting from a particular angle. Continue reading

Bad causes attract bad people * Updated! *

As we predicted on June 22nd, Joel Searby has scrubbed his internet profile. His Twitter account has been deleted, and his personal website has been reset to “Private”. This “Husband, Father, Friend. Renewer, Reformer, Dreamer,” is in some seriously deep doo-doo.

As we noted three years ago, The Lincoln Project, an organization of anti-Trump “Republicans” which had been doing everything they could to hamper our 45th President, was then distancing itself from and denying any real knowledge about co-founder John Weaver. Many publicly mused about how co-founders George Conway, Steve Schmidt, Reed Galen, Jennifer Horn and Rick Wilson could not have known about Mr Weaver’s activities. Twenty-one young men, including one who claims that things began when he was just 14, have accused Mr Weaver of sending unwanted sexually provocative messages, sometimes including solicitations for sex, often in exchange for the promise of career help, to which Mr Weaver admitted once caught.

And yes, of course Mr Weaver was married to a woman at the time. Bad causes attract bad people. Continue reading

Karma comes for Ahmed Hassan Salame Alsauarka Another 72 virgins assigned to duty

Far too many of the leaders of Hamas have been hiding outside of Gaza, safely ensconced in Lebanon, Egypt, and Qatar. Ismail Haniyeh, net worth $4 billion, is the ‘Chairman of Hamas Political Bureau,’ and has been living a life of luxury in Qatar. Apparently alone among the top leadership, Yahya Sinwar is believed to still be in Gaza, hiding in the tunnel complex under Khan Younis, with some living Israeli hostages serving as human shields.

But there are lower-level military ‘officers,’ including one Ahmed Hassan Salame Alsauarka, who led part of the October 7th attack, who have had to stay behind in Gaza, for Hamas to mount any sort of defense, and he has now been sent to his 72 virgins.

Airstrike eliminates October 7 terror commander Ahmed Hassan Salame Alsauarka

IDF and Shin Bet intelligence led to the elimination of Hamas terrorist Ahmed Hassan Salame Alsauarka in a targeted airstrike, with no civilian casualties.
