WASHINGTON, DC- When Joe Biden picked Kamala Harris as his running mate, a lot of eyebrows were raised, primarily because even Democrats didn’t like her, as evidenced by her poor showing in the Democratic primary runup.

In fact, she was among the first Democrats to drop out. Her choice was made because it checked off two boxes—female and person of color, qualifications be damned.

So it comes as little surprise that there appears to be a growing rift between Biden, Harris and their respective staffs, according to RedState.

Indeed it was previously reported that Harris and her people have long complained about being abandoned, with some floating the “R” word…racism…as being one possible reason. Of course, because in 2021 everything is racism.

Meanwhile, the White House has allegedly been growing concerned about Harris’s incompetence and her sheer lack of likeability. She has also been an abject failure at doing anything about the southern border and has been rightly hammered especially by the right for her shortcomings.

All of this has led to a great deal of speculation about 2024, although one would have to be a fool to believe there is any chance whatsoever about Biden running for reelection, given the fact he is a cognitive mess.

Still, Biden is telling his people and allies that he is planning to run in 2024, with a potential rematch against a revitalized Donald Trump looming.

It has long been believed that Harris would be the so-called “heir apparent” to Biden, which is somewhat bizarre given her vast unpopularity outside of the far-left base of the Democratic party.

Still, it has been widely believed she was next in line until she no longer is…in other words, until Democrats acknowledge she would have zero chance in 2024 no matter who the Republican challenger is.

With Biden now signaling he plans on running (we’ll believe it when we see it), that would seem to serve notice to Harris that she must now wait until 2028, with (potentially) an extra four years to cement her legacy as a terrible person. It has been widely speculated that Harris assumed that Biden, due to his advanced age, would only be a one-term president, setting the stage for her to run as the Democrats 2024 candidate.

According to the Washington Post:

President Biden and members of his inner circle have reassured allies in recent days that he plans to run for reelection in 2024, as they take steps to deflect concern about the 79-year-old president’s commitment to another campaign and growing Democratic fears of a coming Republican return to power.

The efforts come as the broader Democratic community has become increasingly anxious after a bruising six-month stretch that has seen Biden’s national approval ratings plummet more than a dozen points into the low 40’s [some polls have him in the mid-30’s], amid growing concerns about inflation, Democratic infighting in Washington, and faltering public health efforts to move beyond the covid-19 pandemic.

As RedState notes, “Democrats have completely painted themselves into a corner.” Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that Biden is cognitively shot and the odds of him mounting a second campaign from his “basement bunker” in Wilmington, Delaware are slim and none.

The Republican Party, unlike the Democrats has a formidable “bench” of possible candidates, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, and possibly South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, along with former President Donald Trump leading the way. The Democrats have…Pete Buttigieg? Stacey Abrams? Harris? None of them strike fear into the hearts of any Republicans.

Republicans have also been galvanized by the recent upset win in Virginia by upstart candidate Glenn Youngkin, and a close call in New Jersey, a solid blue state where another upstart Republican, Jack Ciattarelli came within a hair of defeating incumbent Gov. Phil Murphy (D). Republicans and independents have also become increasingly concerned by the Democratic party’s hard left turn.

Does anyone think for a minute that Biden has the wherewithal to handle a nationwide campaign, hold rallies, answer questions, and drive any type of enthusiasm as a clearly cognitively impaired octogenarian? It is doubtful Biden would be able to duck scrutiny like he did in 2020 when he was given cover by the coronavirus.

Biden already has problems when he is given cover by friendly media outlets such as ABC and CNN when he holds handpicked “town halls” and where he continually needs to be bailed out by friendly “news” anchors such as George Stephanopoulos and Anderson Cooper.

As RedState notes, the contrast between an over-the-hill Biden and someone like DeSantis (or Hawley) would be stark. And a re-energized Trump, who hasn’t lost a beat would present an enormous difference as far as who is best equipped to handle an increasingly hostile world.

A few months ago, Fox & Friends Weekend anchor Rachel Campos-Duffy was criticized after she suggested Jill Biden was somehow complicit in allowing her husband to show himself as basically a demented old man (our words, not hers) who has no business being president of the country.

It’s hard to believe that Jill Biden would continue to support her husband being exposed as he has been, but then again, she’s always wanted to be First Lady. Perhaps that trumps any concern she has for her husband’s welfare.

So very soon, Democrats will have a choice. We are not into being conspiracy theorists but the Democrats’ recent attempt to throw Harris “under the bus” may signal something nefarious going on. Clearly, Democrats don’t want Harris in 2024 if they finally realize that Biden cannot go, because there is no way she can win…not against Trump, not against DeSantis, and probably not against any of the candidates the Republicans put forth.

Harris, who despite being an obnoxious unlikeable person typically has pretty smart political instincts. She may see the writing on the wall and realize her best chance of running as president in 2024 would be to leave the White House.

But what if there’s a “method to their madness?” What if getting rid of Harris is a means to an end? As we have learned over the past five years, the “swamp” Donald Trump warned us about is alive and well and living in Washington, DC. What if getting rid of Harris is intended as a pretext to having Democrats invoke the 25th Amendment on Biden?

Clearly they can see with their own eyes that Biden is incapable of running the country and moreover he is incapable of running in 2024. He has served as a useful idiot, signing anything that is put in front of him for the far-left contingent of the Democratic party.

Why the 25th Amendment? First of all getting rid of Harris would be step one. Then, Democrats could get someone in place as vice president like God forbid Hillary Clinton or someone else who has previously been floated as a presidential candidate—Michelle Obama.

Once they had their “chosen one” in place, they could pole axe Biden via the 25th Amendment and voila…you have President Hillary Clinton or President Michelle Obama. Think it couldn’t happen? Think again.

There are a number of scenarios which could play out, and the above one may seem far-fetched, but this is Washington, DC, and the swamp, where Barack Obama is still very much involved in everything going on.

The Democrats are up against it. Getting rid of Harris would prove extremely unpopular among the Democratic base, however elevating someone like Clinton or Obama to the number two spot would unwind any damage done. There is absolutely no way Biden runs in 2024 and the likelihood of him even finishing out this term is questionable.

Keep an eye on this one. Things may soon get very interesting.

Back in July, Law Enforcement Today reported that a former White House physician believed that Biden is ripe for a 25th Amendment effort. For more on that, we invite you to:

DIG DEEPER

WASHINGTON, DC- Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson (R), who represents the state’s 13th Congressional District formerly served as White House physician under both Barack Obama and former President Trump, is concerned about Joe Biden.

In fact, anyone who has watched Biden continue his slide into cognitive decline has to be concerned. Especially since he has control of the nuclear codes.

On Thursday night, Jackson told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he believes Biden will either be forced to resign or face the 25th Amendment at some point over the clear signs that he is becoming less and less fit for office.

Jackson told Hannity he’s been saying for a while that “something’s going on here,” the Daily Wire reported.

“And I’ve been saying that it’s only going to get worse, and guess what? We’re watching that happen right before our eyes right now,” Jackson said.

“And I’m at the point right now where, you know, I went from, you know telling people we should be concerned about what might potentially be going on, to now saying, hey, what is happening right now?”

Clearly, anyone with their eyes wide open has seen the rather rapid decline in Biden’s ability to put together a cogent thought. Comparing him even to just a year or so ago shows a significant regression in his cognitive abilities.

“Where are the people in our academic medicine that were out there calling for President Trump to have a cognitive test? Where are these people?” he continued.

 

 

“There’s something seriously going on with this man right now. And you know, I think that he’s either gonna…he’s either gonna resign, they’re going to convince him to resign from office at some point in the near future for medical issues, or they’re going to have to use the 25th Amendment to get rid of this man right now. There’s some serious stuff going on right now.”

That may be true, however former Bill Clinton adviser Dick Morris believes there is also a back story to some unfavorable leaks that have come out about Kamala Harris, according to Newsmax.

According to Morris, he believes Biden’s aides are in effect leaking the stories about Harris due to concern she will invoke the 25th Amendment to have him removed from office. This is a classic “heads I win, tails you lose” scenario facing the country. Because seriously, is one better than the other?

Morris, appearing on WABC 770 AM on the John Catsimatidis radio show, Morris referred to a recent article in the New York Times which:

“talks about how Harris is not ready for prime time. She was antagonizing her staff. She screwed up on the trip to the border,” Morris said.

Morris said that his experience in Washington, DC politics leads him to believe that the story “must have undoubtedly come from the Biden forces.”

Morris continued, saying that all of this makes sense because “the rumor I keep hearing from sources close to the White House is that Biden is getting worse. That the dementia is really becoming noticeable and harder to control and harder to camouflage. I believe there may be a move coming to invoke the 25th Amendment against Biden and replace him with Harris.”

This spells out reasons why Biden loyalists may be trying to dump on Harris.

“Biden’s people are pushing back against it by shooting at Harris and saying that she’s not really ready to be president.”

Morris said a careful reading of the New York Times article can lead to no other conclusion than to believe the leaks are emanating from within the White House, specifically Biden aides.

“The only reason for them to do that [is to push back] against the 25th Amendment coup,” Morris said.

As to Jackson, he believes that some members of the Biden cabinet are seeing what is going on with Biden and have to wonder about his ability to carry out his presidential duties. Jackson said that “this is a national security issue at this point…it really is.”

Biden also makes some other bizarre statements. For more on that, we invite you to:

The following editorial is written by a retired Chief of Police and current staff writer for Law Enforcement Today.

A few things happened last week that bear some additional scrutiny. One is the flippant statement made by Joe Biden when he suggested that people would need “F-15s and nuclear weapons” in order to fight back against an oppressive government.

The other are statements made by two of our military leaders, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael Gilday.

First, Biden’s comment. Since January 6, Democrats and their sycophants in the mainstream media have been telling the American people—actually the extremely gullible, uninformed segment of the American people—that we were mere minutes away from having our Democracy destroyed.

This of course would be accomplished by around 1,000 unarmed people who were trespassing at the Capitol, by and large people who were allowed to enter the Capitol by the US Capitol Police.

While the mainstream media and Democrats continue to portray the Capitol incident as an insurrection¸and while Speaker Nancy Pelosi continues to insist that Off. Brian Sicknick was killed by getting struck with a fire extinguisher, are we to really believe that our Republic, our way of life was threatened by a thousand unarmed people?

In his dismissive comment made last week, Biden actually told us quite a bit. Taken in concert with the statements of Milley and Gilday, Biden’s comment about “F-15s” and “nuclear weapons” is not only instructive but should serve as a warning to those who are opposed to the direction our country has taken, especially in the last five months.

Think about the contrast between the rhetoric of the “January 6 was an insurrection” comments and Biden’s warning about F-15s and nukes. We are to believe we were on the verge of a takeover of the country by a guy in a Viking hat while the country possesses the most powerful (as of now) military in the world? The disconnect between those two statements is staggering.

The thing about Biden, with his current mental state and cognitive issues is that he is saying the quiet part out loud. His comments last week are not so much “Joe being Joe” as they are a warning.

Why do you think Biden continuously talks about “getting in trouble” for saying too much? He’s talking about things he’s not supposed to be talking about. None of this is supposed to be revealed to the American people, or so it would seem. They keep Biden under wraps because they’re afraid he may accidentally leak the truth.

Add Biden’s statement last week to the comments made by Milley and Gilday the same week. Time was, the military did not get involved in politics, was more apolitical. For certain, the military and its leaders were beholden to the politics of the day, however generals such as Milley and admirals such as Gilday were careful to avoid being tagged with a political ideology. That is no longer the case.

In congressional testimony last week, Milley was being grilled by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Michael Walz (R-FL) about critical race theory, aka Marxist ideology being taught at West Point, the Army’s military academy. Milley became incensed and defensive. He then addressed the January 6 incident at the Capitol.

“I want to understand white rage, and I’m white…what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building [the US Capitol] and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America? I want to find that out,” Milley bellowed.

“I’ve read Mao Tse Tung. I’ve read Karl Marx. I’ve read Lenin. That doesn’t make me a communist,” Milley said. “So what is wrong with understanding, having some situational understanding about the country for which we are here to defend?”

“White rage?” Those are taking points taken directly from Congressional Democrats and far-left Marxists, who are trying to portray those who protested at the Capitol as white supremacists. There has been ZERO evidence that the Capitol siege was motivated by race.

Yet this past week, we also had House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) say the Capitol siege was motivated by “white supremacism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Muslim” sentiment. Nowhere has this been alleged, much less proven.

So Milley’s statement about “white rage” is disturbing.

And what of his comment about reading Mao and Lenin? Those of course were foreigners and understanding the ideology of what drives foreign nations is important for the military, whose mission is to fight foreign aggression.

Contrast that with CRT which undermines the very nation and ideology members of the military are tasked with defending. If America was truly founded on racist principles, how would we expect men and women to risk their lives defending it?  

Then we have Adm. Gilday, who came across as an unhinged, hot-tempered lunatic during his testimony last week.

Gilday has promoted a book by a Marxist radical, who has stated in his book “How To Be An Anti-Racist,” that America is a systemically racist country, that white people are criminals, and has in fact stated in the past that white people are “inferior” to blacks. Kendi has also previously stated that whites created the AIDS virus to kill black people.

Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) asked Gilday to denounce the statements made by Kendi, which he refused to do, claiming Banks was taking “cherry picked” statements made by Kendi and asking him to address them.

“Do you consider opposition to interracial adoption an extremist belief?” Banks asked Gilday, referencing a tweet Kendi wrote in September 2020 in which he suggested Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett is a “white colonizer” for adopting two Haitian children.

Gilday’s comments were unclear because his microphone was not turned on, but he appeared incensed. Banks continued:

“Do you personally consider advocating for the destruction of American capitalism to be extremist?” Banks asked, referencing Kendi’s assertion that capitalism and racism are intertwined, and must be eliminated.

Gilday, once again incensed replied, “I’m not forcing anybody to read the book, it’s on a recommended reading list.”

Finally, Banks asked Gilday:

“If sailors accept Kendi’s argument that America and the United States Navy are fundamentally racist as you’ve encouraged them to do, do you expect that to increase or decrease morale and cohesion?”

“I do know this,” Gilday responded. “Our strength is in our diversity, and our sailors understand that. Racism in the United States is a very complex issue, what we benefit from is an open discussion about those issues,” Gilday added.

In other words, Gilday refused to answer Banks’ question about whether or not being forced to read such garbage increases morale and cohesion in the Navy.

So, here we have the two top military leaders in the United States advocating for a philosophy that dictates the country was founded on racist principles, that whites are born racist, and that those who don’t admit they are racist possess “white fragility” and are racist for not admitting it. Heads I win, tails you lose.

The fact that two of our top military leaders are taking sides in the current culture war, taken on top of Biden’s comments about F-15s and nuclear weapons should serve as a warning to the American people.

In particular, it should concern those patriots who love our country, embrace our founding, and still believe America is the greatest country on the face of the Earth.

Biden has designated “white supremacy” as the “greatest threat” facing the country, despite the fact there is zero proof of that. Granted, there are white supremacists, just as there are black supremacists. Both are threats to our country. But to single out white supremacy as the greatest threat, despite the fact that for 14 months we have seen exactly the opposite occurring, is absurd and an insult to the intelligence of the American people.

Our cities are currently a war zone, and it is not white supremacists by and large committing the crime. Biden completely ignored who is committing crime in cities such as Chicago, New York, Atlanta and St. Louis.

Yet he, and Attorney General Merrick Garland have identified so-called white supremacists as the greatest threat facing our country. And if you are a patriotic American, you are considered a white supremacist. If you are gun owner, you are a white supremacist. If you want fair and just elections, you are a white supremacist. Finally, if you voted for President Trump, you’re a white supremacist.

Pelosi’s statement about “white supremacy” being an underlying cause of the Capitol siege tells you a lot. Democrats talk to each other. An overwhelming majority of those who went to the Capitol on January 6 committed no crime, other than maybe trespass. Most did not engage in any violence whatsoever.

Yet, anyone who was in the vicinity of the Capitol who has been identified has been jailed, many without even being charged. For those who have been charged, many have been put in solitary confinement, cut off from legal representation, cut off from family. Some won’t even get a trial until next year, we are told.

The First Amendment to our glorious Constitution, the priority for our Founding Fathers was freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of assembly. Indeed, the right to peacefully protest is secured by that amendment.

Last summer, as we saw violent protests devolve into anarchy, we were told by Democrats and their media cheerleaders that “peaceful protest” is guaranteed under the Constitution. CNN hack Chris Cuomo even posed a question, “Where does it say protests have to be peaceful?” That only counts apparently if those “protests” meet a leftist agenda. 

So why then are those who protested at the Capitol on January 6, expressing their grievances to their elected leaders, being locked up? Since when has political speech been criminalized?

Biden and Garland have said they will be adding scores of people—maybe hundreds—to the Department of Justice to investigate “white supremacy.” Given what we have seen in the past five months, is there anyone who doesn’t think Biden’s Justice Department won’t be targeting conservatives? Gun owners? Trump voters?

Biden’s little boo boo, taken in concert with Gilday and Milley’s statements as well as Garland saying the DOJ will be targeting “white supremacists” should serve as a warning. Anyone who denies critical race theory has been deemed a white supremacist.

Democrats see that people are starting to wake up to what they are doing. Parents have had the blinders ripped off as to what their children are being taught in school. People are seeing anarchy on the streets of our cities with nobody doing anything to stop it. They are seeing our borders being overrun unabated.

F-15s and nuclear weapons. Biden’s faux pas was more of a warning. “We’re the federal government, we’ve got the military, and we’re not afraid to use it.”

Biden, with no filter due to his cognitive decline, said the quiet part out loud. “We’re in charge, you will do what we tell you to do. Your Glocks or AR-15s are no match for the US government. Comply…or else.”

Editor note: In 2020, we saw a nationwide push to “defund the police”.  While we all stood here shaking our heads wondering if these people were serious… they cut billions of dollars in funding for police officers.  And as a result, crime has skyrocketed – all while the same politicians who said “you don’t need guns, the government will protect you” continued their attacks on both our police officers and our Second Amendment rights.

And that’s exactly why we’re launching this national crowdfunding campaign as part of our efforts to help “re-fund the police”.
