Blue Wave: Number of Democrats Calling on Biden to Grow Up to 30

/6 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden is facing calls to end his reelection bid from a growing number of prominent Democrats after his debate performance raised serious questions about the 81-year-old’s mental fitness.

The president and his campaign remain defiant and are pressing ahead, but an avalanche of calls to step aside and let someone such as Vice President Kamala Harris be the Democratic nominee could change that calculus. . .

Reps. Betty McCollum (D-MN) and Kathy Castor (D-FL)

McCollum and Castor, called on President Joe Biden to step aside and pass the torch — to Vice President Kamala Harris.

McCollum endorsed Harris as Biden’s successor and encouraged Democrats to select Gov. Tim Waltz (D-MN) as her running mate. (Read more from “Blue Wave: Number of Democrats Calling on Biden to Grow Up to 30” HERE)

Democratic Rep.: Biden Recently ‘Didn’t Seem to Recognize’ Me

/0 Comments/in , /by

In an op-ed for the Boston Globe, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) has candidly addressed concerns about President Biden’s cognitive abilities, recounting a troubling personal encounter during an overseas trip that has raised alarms among U.S. allies.

Moulton, a longtime admirer and mentee of Biden, revealed a disconcerting moment at a small gathering in Normandy, France, during the 80th anniversary of D-Day. He described how Biden, whom he had known as a friend and mentor, appeared not to recognize him for the first time. This incident, as Moulton observed, was more than just a fleeting lapse; it signified a deeper issue that has become increasingly apparent.

“While it’s natural for memory to falter with age, what I witnessed in Normandy and what I saw during recent public appearances has deepened my concerns,” Moulton wrote.

The episode in Normandy is not an isolated event. It is part of a broader narrative unfolding since Biden took office, with critics pointing to instances of forgetfulness and verbal missteps during public engagements. These incidents have sparked debate over whether Biden, at 81, is fit to seek re-election and continue serving as commander in chief.

“President Biden has been a friend and mentor to me for many years,” Moulton acknowledged. “But we owe it to the American people to have an honest conversation about leadership and the challenges our country faces.”

Poll: Trump’s Lead Over Biden Widens as America Seeks Stability

/4 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald J. Trump has surged ahead of President Joe Biden in recent national polling. According to a newly released survey, 52 percent of registered voters expressed their intention to vote for Trump if the election were held today. This marks a significant increase from earlier figures, showcasing a clear trend in public sentiment.

Just weeks ago, a CBS News poll had already shown Trump with a solid lead at 50 percent, while Biden lagged behind at 48 percent. Now, with a five-point increase in Trump’s favorability, it is evident that the American people are increasingly turning to the proven leadership of the former president.

The poll also delved into the aftermath of a shocking assassination attempt on Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania. Despite the brazen attack, a notable 26 percent of voters indicated that they were now more inclined to support Trump. This reflects a growing admiration for his resilience and a recognition of his unwavering commitment to the American people.

Moreover, a majority of respondents acknowledged Trump’s efforts to promote national unity following the harrowing incident. Fifty-four percent affirmed that Trump has actively pushed for greater cohesion, while only 46 percent believed otherwise. This demonstrates Trump’s steadfast dedication to healing the nation’s divisions, even amidst personal adversity.

The recent surge in Trump’s popularity reflects a broader sentiment among voters who are increasingly disillusioned with the current administration’s policies. From economic woes to foreign policy mishaps, the Biden administration’s failures have underscored the need for a return to strong, decisive leadership.

As the nation looks ahead to the next election cycle, one thing remains abundantly clear: the American people yearn for stability, security, and a leader who will put their interests first.

Biden’s Team Deliberately Kneecapped Trump’s Security to Allow an Assassination Attempt

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Nobody wants to hear this because of the implications, but oh well, because it needs to be said: Joe Biden’s security regime deliberately and with malice aforethought created the conditions that led to an attempted assassin shooting Donald Trump in the head. It is by the grace of God that he lived and our nation is not currently in the midst of a violent civil war.

They deliberately starved Trump’s security team of the resources it needed. And they did it repeatedly, over many weeks and months.

With Trump’s security detail understaffed, under-resourced, and stretched to its limits, Biden’s security regime reportedly diverted even more resources to a hastily planned Jill Biden event that just happened to be in the area.

Biden’s security regime then ordered the most obvious assassination perch in the entire area to remain outside the main security perimeter.

Furthermore, Biden’s Secret Service director ordered law enforcement and counter-snipers OFF the roof the assassin used. (Read more from “Biden’s Team Deliberately Kneecapped Trump’s Security to Allow an Assassination Attempt” HERE)

Biden Couldn’t Even Make It 48 Hours Without Using Extreme Rhetoric Against Trump

/3 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden couldn’t even last 48 hours without using extreme rhetoric against former President Donald Trump, after having called on Sunday night for the nation to “lower the temperature in our politics” after Trump survived an assassination attempt.

Speaking at the NAACP convention in Las Vegas on Tuesday, Biden used his traditional playbook of slandering Republicans.

“They will do everything — undo everything the NAACP stands for, but now they’re trying to deny it. They’re lying about their Project 2025. They want to deny you freedom, the freedom of the vote, have your vote counted,” Biden said, completely lying.

“They’d impose a nationwide ban on abortion. … They want to prosecute political enemies. They want to cut Social Security and Medicare, rip away protection for millions of pre-existing conditions for 400 million people … risking people’s lives, costing the government more money. … They would … give the very wealthy a big corporate — corporations a new tax cut,” Biden continued.

All Biden really did this time was stop short of comparing Trump to Hitler — which he’s done in the past. (Read more from “Biden Couldn’t Even Make It 48 Hours Without Using Extreme Rhetoric Against Trump” HERE)

Hunter Biden Seeks Dismissal of Tax, Gun Cases, Citing Decision to Toss Trump Case

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, asked federal judges on Thursday to dismiss tax and gun cases against him, citing a ruling in Florida this week that threw out a separate prosecution of former President Donald Trump.

The requests in federal court in Delaware and California underscore the potential ramifications of U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s dismissal Monday of the classified documents case against Trump and the possibility that it could unsettle the legal landscape surrounding Justice Department special counsels.

Both Hunter Biden and Trump were prosecuted by special counsels appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland. In dismissing the Trump case, Cannon ruled that the appointment of the special counsel who prosecuted Trump, Jack Smith, violated the Constitution because he was appointed directly to the position by Garland instead of being nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate.

Smith’s team has said the Justice Department followed long-establishment precedent — for instance, the Trump-era appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate Russian election interference was upheld by courts — and has appealed Cannon’s dismissal to a federal appeals court in Atlanta.

Report: Biden Considers Dropping Out This Weekend, Future Uncertain

/0 Comments/in , /by

New reports suggest that President Joe Biden will step down from the race this weekend and will either endorse Vice President Kamala Harris or allow an open convention to choose the next nominee.

According to the New York Times, several people close to Biden said on Thursday that the president has “begun to accept the idea that he may not be able to win in November and may have to drop out of the race, bowing to the growing demands of many anxious members of his party.”

Though one source close to the president said that Biden has not yet made up his mind on whether or not to leave the race, another said that the “reality is setting in” and that Biden might very well make “an announcement soon endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement.” The Times noted:

This account is based on interviews with four people close to the president, all of whom described the situation as extremely delicate and spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid offending the president. Mr. Biden remained in isolation at his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Del., after being diagnosed with Covid on Wednesday.

Contradicting reports have been spreading on social media as to what the president’s next move might be. While the New York Times‘ source said Biden might endorse Kamala Harris immediately, reporter Mark Halperin said that “multiple sources” have claimed the president will leave the next nominee to be decided by an open convention. Per his post on X:

Biden Read Note With Staffer’s Critique Aloud on Call With Dems: ‘You Are Sounding Defensive’

/2 Comments/in , /by

President Biden was handed a private note during a recent call with Democratic House lawmakers telling him to “stay positive” — and he read it out loud.

A staffer gave the 81-year-old president a note card with tips as he attempted to persuade members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus on Saturday that he was fit to serve and able to defeat former President Donald Trump on Election Day, the New York Times reported.

“Stay positive, you are sounding defensive,” Biden said on the call, seemingly reading directly from his staffer’s short missive.

One lawmaker told the New York Times that the moment represented how “stage-managed” calls between the president and lawmakers concerned about his re-election chances have seemed.

Biden has long been known to rely on note cards for press conferences, summits and private fundraisers, instructing him where to sit, what to do and who people are. (Read more from “Biden Read Note With Staffer’s Critique Aloud on Call With Dems: ‘You Are Sounding Defensive’” HERE)

Reporter Who Covered Biden From Beginning of His Career Says President ‘Should Never Have Sought’ Reelection

/2 Comments/in , /by

A retired journalist who covered President Joe Biden when he won his first U.S. Senate campaign in 1972 said Biden “should never have sought a second term” in an op-ed published Wednesday.

Biden has faced a growing number of calls to step aside as the Democratic nominee after he froze at times and made several verbal gaffes during a June 27 debate with former President Donald Trump. Retired journalist Curtis Wilkie said in the op-ed published by Mississippi Today that the president should not have sought a second term due to his noticeable mental decline.

“President Biden should never have sought a second term,” Wilkie wrote. “I have an unusual perspective on this discussion dominating American politics considering I’ve known Joe Biden longer than any reporter who ever covered him. I’ve witnessed over the years how the relentless demands of the presidency have ravaged other occupants of the White House. And I share with Biden the frailties of old age that grip us both and have begun to diminish our physical and cognitive powers.”

“This is not a new concern of mine, produced by the president’s poor performance at last month’s debate,” Wilkie continued. “I reached this conclusion during a long conversation in March 2023 with two old friends who had closer political connections to Biden than my own.”

Wilkie, who is two years older than Biden, said that he has experienced similar issues that the president has displayed during public appearances. (Read more from “Reporter Who Covered Biden From Beginning of His Career Says President ‘Should Never Have Sought’ Reelection” HERE)

Joe Biden Would Reevaluate Campaign if Doctors Flagged Medical Issue

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Joe Biden said Tuesday he would reevaluate his candidacy for president if his doctors told him he had a medical issue.

Biden’s comment is the first time he “opened the door to a theoretical medical condition forcing him from the presidential race,” according to Politico. Biden previously said that only the “Lord Almighty” could force him from the race.

“If I had some medical condition that emerged,” Biden told BET News’s Ed Gordon upon being asked if he would reconsider his decision to stay in the race. “If doctors came to me and said, ‘You got this problem, that problem.’”

Biden, whom many are trying to remove from the ticket, added that he is not a transitional candidate, as he once promised the party.

“I said I was going to be a transitional candidate, and I thought I’d be able to move on from this, pass it on to someone else,” he said. “But I didn’t anticipate things getting so, so, so divided. Quite frankly, I think the only thing age brings [is] a little bit of wisdom, and I think I’ve demonstrated that I know how to get things done for the country.” (Read more from “Joe Biden Would Reevaluate Campaign if Doctors Flagged Medical Issue” HERE)
