"A
third theory is that Obama and his minions never wanted to leave power; they
felt entitled to it, the minions, at least, and Biden might just be the best
actual front man for making Obama the power behind the throne."
Obama squirms about that
Biden endorsement
Now that the Democratic Party has all
but consolidated behind decrepit Joe Biden to keep unelectable socialist
Bernie Sanders off the top of its ticket, it's worth a snicker to consider
President Obama, behind the scenes, suddenly realizing he's going to have
to endorse idiot Joe Biden for president, a man he considers unfit for the
office.
Obama had withheld his endorsement
for his faithful former vice president, which was pretty humiliating
for Joe, a man Joe had touted as his "best friend" to the
NAACP. Biden claimed he asked for no endorsement, which no one
believed. Obama claimed he was waiting till after
primaries. The real reason leaked out, though: that Obama doesn't
think Biden is up to the job.
"You
don't have to do this, Joe, you really don't," the former president told
Biden before the front-runner entered the race, insiders told the New York Times.
Biden has
repeatedly cited his relationship with his old boss as he touts his credentials
on the campaign trail — but Obama has asked Biden staffers to make sure the
gaffe-prone veep does not "damage his legacy" or "embarrass
himself" during his run.
They have
been unable to prevent him from making verbal blunders, like his claim last
week that "poor kids are just as bright … as white
kids" and
his insistence that there are "at least three" genders.
The former
president has told insiders of his worries that Biden's top aides are "too
old and out of touch with the current political climate."
Worse still, Obama said this to Democratic leaders last November and word got out:
"You know who really doesn't have it? Joe Biden."
Now it's endorsement time, tiger, so
buckle up.
Obama is still squirming, delivering a
congratulations but no endorsement. The last reported news of his doings comes from Pete Buttigieg, who
says Obama called him up during the dropout consolidation and told him to
"use the leverage you amassed."
Two things might be going on here.
One, Obama hasn't endorsed Biden because
he still thinks Joe isn't up to the job and wants to keep his hands off
the whole matter until he has to. Maybe he's waiting for the convention in order to make a
grand appearance for the endorsement — knowing Obama's ego, that's pretty
likely.
The importance of an endorsement for Biden
is reinforced by the fact that Rep. James Clyburn's endorsement handed the South Carolina primary to
Joe in a dramatic
turnaround for the otherwise washed up gaffemaster, paving the way to his
Super Tuesday wins. If Clyburn's endorsement could do that for Joe,
think what an Obama endorsement could do for Joe. But he won't give
it.
Two, despite his contempt for incompetent
Joe, Obama might just be behind the consolidation behind the scenes, given
his pen-and-phone stuff with the assorted Democratic candidates such as
Buttigieg, someone he had a soft spot for early on (along with Beto
O'Rourke). Despite his distaste for Joe, Obama realizes that
Joe might just be the best hope for preserving his legacy, something
that's always foremost in his mind. He hates Sanders and knows
that Sanders would blow up his legacy far more decisively than Trump,
turning America into the shambles of Venezuela, a vast 5,000-mile blue city full of corruption,
unemployment, homeless blight, opioid addiction, rigged elections, illegals,
high rents, high costs, collapsing markets, shriveling 401(k)s, greenie
oppression, men-only sports prizes, state bankruptcy, zero oil, and crime.
Biden, though, is malleable, easily
manipulated, desperate for love, a political hack of no principles — and
easy to lead by the nose. Just as Obama told Pete, to exert "leverage"
on Biden, Obama knows he can get anything he wants from Biden for that
slavered-after Obama endorsement. This makes Biden the
perfect puppet. It's said that someone's pulling Biden's puppet
strings. Obama's as good a guess as any for who the
puppetmaster is.
A third theory is that Obama and his
minions never wanted to leave power; they felt entitled to it, the minions, at
least, and Biden might just be the best actual front man for making
Obama the power behind the throne. It's doubtful that Obama, occupied as he is with golf
and billionaire-paid vacays, and as lazy as he is, really wants to do the
governing. But his minions certainly don't like being on the
outs. This picture, remember, told us everything. These Obama minions are so
desperate to cling to power they launched a coup attempt against President
Trump through the use of Obama holdovers and the Deep
State. Some, such as the political appointees at Voice of
America, one such agency, still refuse to leave office. Others have
found their way into the FISA courts, the leaky press, and the offices of
Adam Schiff. It may well be that professional power behind the
throne Valerie Jarrett is plotting her comeback.
But it all comes down to the
significant hurdle of having to endorse Joe Biden, something that must make
Obama gag. Instead of get it over with, he's exerting leverage for
sure. But if and when he does, we all know it will be a joke:
word's already out about what Obama really thinks of Biden in
private.
Biden Accused of Sexual Assault
Biden Accused of Sexual Assault
And the eerie - and expected - silence of #MeToo.
Former Vice President Joe Biden admitted back in December 2018 that "I am a gaffe machine." That’s a gross understatement, to say the least. The Democrat establishment and the mainstream media continue to treat Biden’s endless stream of gaffes as just harmless patter from good old Uncle Joe. His supporters make excuses for Biden’s obvious mental decline and lash out at anyone who expresses concerns about his fitness to take on the rigors of the presidency. Now, however, they are circling the wagons after a story recently emerged that Joe Biden allegedly committed sexual assault against a former staffer, Tara Reade, when Biden was a vigorous 50 year-old senator. The Biden campaign has denied the allegation, claiming “these accusations are false.” Other women had come forward previously to report inappropriate touching by Biden. But Ms. Reade’s allegation shines a much harsher light on Biden’s possible predatory sexual behavior against one or more females on his staff.
Joe Biden is a self-professed champion of women who has supported the #MeToo movement’s presumption of guilt against the accused. “For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally,” Biden said during Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Senate confirmation hearing, “you’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real, whether or not she forgets facts, whether or not it’s been made worse or better over time.” Now Biden himself stands accused of sexually assaulting Tara Reade in 1993. "He said 'come on man, I heard you liked me,'" Ms. Reade told an interviewer. “I couldn't believe it was happening. It was surreal." According to Ms. Reade, Biden kissed her without her consent, proceeded to push her up against a wall, and used his fingers to penetrate her. Afterwards, Ms. Reade said, “He took his finger. He just like pointed at me and said you’re nothing to me.” There presumably were no witnesses to the alleged assault, although Ms. Reade’s brother and friend recall her contemporaneous account of the incident.
There has not been a word of support for Biden’s accuser from the Democratic Party establishment, #MeToo activists, and the mainstream media who want to see President Trump defeated no matter what it takes. Most media outlets have either ignored or buried the story, with a few limited exceptions. A staff writer for The Atlantic even tried to discredit Ms. Reade when she first came forward with allegations of Biden’s inappropriate touching. But even worse, a prominent #MeToo advocacy group rejected Ms. Reade’s pleas for help, throwing its high-minded claims of defense of sexual assault victims to the wolves in order to save Joe Biden’s hide.
The Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund boasts of its support for “the brave individuals who have come forward, at great risk to themselves, to seek the justice they deserve and to protect others” from sexual harassment. It claims that it helps to pay legal costs for alleged victims and that it connects people to and helps pay for “media and storytelling assistance.” Tara Reade contacted the organization in January seeking its help in bringing to light her allegation against Biden. Time’s Up said no. Time Up’s justification was that it feared losing its nonprofit status if it assisted in a case against a candidate for federal office. But if we look behind the curtain, we find a web of clear conflicts of interest that may well explain why Ms. Reade was rebuffed. “While all of this was out between Reade and Time’s Up,” Breitbart reported, the Biden campaign’s relationship with a public relations firm, which was also closely associated with Time’s Up, “was taking on a new dimension.”
Anita Dunn is both a senior adviser on the Biden campaign and the Managing Director at the SKDKnickerbocker public relations firm. Hilary Rosen is a Biden surrogate, who was also involved in the founding of Time’s Up and is a partner in SKDKnickerbocker. SKDKnickerbocker helped launch the publicity for Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund. On the website describing how victims of sexual harassment can get in touch with the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund for media assistance, the victims are told that, after they fill out a form, “SKDKnickerbocker (SKDK), public relations firm that works with the Fund, will email you to set up an evaluation over the phone. If the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund is able to offer you media assistance, SKDK will match you with a public relations firm in our Network.”
However, SKDKnickerbocker not only works with the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund but also for the Biden campaign. SKDK has received $881,740 from the Biden for President organization between June 25, 2019 and February 27, 2020, according to Federal Election Commission filings. The Biden campaign paid the vast bulk of this money – slightly in excess of $806,000 - in January and February of 2020. This sum is more than 10 times the amount that Biden’s campaign paid SKDKnickerbocker between June and December 2019. Tara Reade received the final word that the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund would not provide her with funding or public relations support in her case on February 11th. It doesn’t take a genius to connect the dots.
Joe Biden is entitled to due process and deserves the presumption of innocence, which is more than he was willing to grant to Justice Kavanaugh. However, he is not entitled to be protected by a wall of silence, which is what his friends in the Democratic establishment and the media are doing by covering for him. Senator Kamala Harris, for example, endorsed Biden after she quit the presidential race. She is said to be on the short list of Biden’s potential running mates. Harris was among Justice Kavanaugh’s most strident critics when she sat in judgment on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Harris also released a campaign ad during her run for president accusing President Trump of being a “sexual predator.” Yet when it came to Tara Reade’s accusation against Biden of sexual predatory behavior, she says she contacted Senator Harris’s office but has received no response. As Brad Polumbo wrote in the Washington Examiner, if Harris does not immediately denounce Biden in light of Tara Reade’s accusation, she is little more than a “conniving politician willing to disregard due process for her political opponents, but not her allies.”
Tara Reade also claims to have received a brushoff from Senator Elizabeth Warren’s office, which told her simply to contact her local representative. Warren had said that one of her key reasons for opposing Justice Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation involved the allegations of sexual assault he was accused of. Yet her office found no time on Warren’s calendar for her to hear personally what Ms. Reade had to say about Joe Biden’s alleged sexual assault.
When Justice Kavanaugh was facing unsubstantiated allegations of sexual assault, Warren made an impassioned plea on the Senate floor on behalf of survivors of sexual assault. She said that many of them do not come forward because they “believe they won't be heard or taken seriously, or they think more about the impact on the perpetrator than their own safety and well-being, or they think the people with power - the ones who can actually do something - will instead 'plow right through’ them. We never hear the stories of millions of sexual assault survivors. But some make the very difficult and personal decision to come forward and tell their stories. They, like all survivors, are courageous, and they deserve to be heard and treated with respect. Not dismissed, not attacked, not threatened.”
Tara Reade finally worked up the courage to come forward with her story of sexual assault. Unfortunately for the rally around Biden crowd, it pointed directly to the current presumed Democratic nominee for president. But Joe Biden’s connections have helped him ‘plow right through’ Tara Reade’s story. She was rebuffed by a leading #MeToo advocacy group with close ties to the Biden campaign. She has been vilified or simply ignored in the mainstream media and by faux feminist politicians. Biden, meanwhile, continues to hold forth on what he would do as president, including with respect to the coronavirus. CNN gave him airtime last Friday night in a televised town hall. CNN listed 5 takeaways from the town hall. Tara Reade’s allegation was not among them.
If Joe Biden does become the Democratic nominee for president, it will be up to the voters to decide what weight to give to Ms. Reade’s story. If true, it should add further doubts regarding Joe Biden’s character, on top of questions about his current mental condition. The jury is still out on what the former vice president may have done while he was the Obama administration’s point man in Ukraine to run interference for Burisma. This highly corrupt Ukrainian firm was under investigation by the Ukrainian prosecutor who Biden caused to be fired while his son Hunter was on Burisma’s board.
Joe Biden likes to speak of restoring the soul of the nation. First, it appears that he has some serious repair work to do with his own soul. He can start by coming clean.
“He’s a
totally corrupt swamp thing, and here’s the worst part of his manifest
corruption – he doesn’t seem to realize that he’s corrupt, if not personally
than in terms of allowing his bum kid to leverage his position. He thinks it’s A-OK for his boy
Hoover to cash in
all over the globe. After all,
that’s what you do, right? That’s part of the
benefits package for being in the liberal elite.
And all these people fussing
and fighting
about the paternity test-failing dirtbag getting
rich are totally
out of line. How dare they?
HOW DARE THEY!”
He
wants to raise taxes, open the borders, let you pay for illegal aliens’ sex
changes, and spark a civil war by taking guns from the people who don’t commit
crimes.
Joe Biden? Seriously?
The
establishment narrative on Joe Biden is, to put it mildly, malarkey. Gropey J
actually is everything the liberals accuse Donald Trump of being – bizarre,
vulgar, dumb, corrupt, incompetent, and utterly unfit to be president. But yet
the Creepy Veepy is so much more. In the last month, this totally not-senile,
not-at-all-weird guy has assembled a track record of freaky behavior that would
put mid-eighties Crispin
Glover to
shame.
Let’s
review…
Corn Pop
is old news. Biden’s latest rambling onion-on-the-belt monologue was something about
little kids at a pool rubbing his leg hair or something – it’s so random I’m
not even linking to it. There’s no best-case scenario here – he’s just creepy.
Then, for
no other reason than I guess he felt like a snack, he started gnawing on his
wife’s fingers in public and on camera. You know, like people do. You wonder
what the thought process there was…
“Hey,
sure are lots of cameras…gosh, I’m kind of hungry…oh look, an index finger.
Yum.”
I’m a
little surprised he didn’t pull out a packet of ketchup.
But the
best part was when some guy pointed out that, you know, Biden’s loser son Lil’
Crackpipe is the poster child for corruption and Sane Joe started spazzing out
and calling him “fat” and challenging him to a push-up contest for some reason.
This is
just odd. And this is the candidate who, amazingly, is still in the lead for
the Democrat nomination.
And then
there’s the groping females thing. He still does it occasionally, though the
media does its best to curtail coverage of his lecherous creeping. Do you
believe there’s any chance at all that he is not going to, at some point, have
some horrifying incident with some female at the White House, you know, like
grabbing the Queen for a hug n’ rub, or walking absent-mindedly into the press
room in a flapping robe with Little Joe and the gang in effect?
And let’s
be charitable. No one has ever called Joe Biden “smart.” Well, maybe as a joke.
The fact is that he’s a 40-watt guy in a 100-watt world. Haters say Trump is
dumb, but he is demonstrably not dumb. The thing about Trump is that because
our garbage elite hates him it tends to ascribe all possible negative
characteristics to him regardless of whether they apply. Trump is cunning,
crafty and has a keen sense of strategy. You may dislike him, but that does not
change the fact that alone, against the full force of the elite and its media
serfs, he prevailed and continues to prevail. If Trump, who managed to figure
out that it would be a good idea to campaign in Wisconsin, is dumb, what does
that make Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit and the sobbing losers who supported
her?
No one
can seriously argue that Joe Biden is smart, and no one does. They’ll either
call you “racist” or start complaining about Trump. But you won’t get anyone
comparing the former veep to Stephen Hawking. They just sort of elide past his
staggering stupidity, perhaps hoping that whoever he picks for his veep will
give him a rubber ball to play with and lock him in an Oval Office closet when
it's time to do some presidenting.
He’s a
totally corrupt swamp thing, and here’s the worst part of his manifest
corruption – he doesn’t seem to realize that he’s corrupt, if not personally
than in terms of allowing his bum kid to leverage his position. He thinks it’s A-OK for his boy Hoover to cash in
all over the globe. After all, that’s what you do, right? That’s part of the
benefits package for being in the liberal elite. And all these people fussing
and fighting about the paternity test-failing dirtbag getting rich are totally
out of line. How dare they? HOW DARE THEY!
Understand
that Biden sees nothing wrong with this. Nothing. And that means there will be
exponentially more of it. Hell, the useless DoJ under Trump won’t prosecute
obvious graft. Do you think a DoJ that’s thrilled to have a fellow traveler
back in the White House is going to root out Biden's business badness? You do?
Well, then meet my unicorn Chet.
And
SloJoe is utterly incompetent. This is the guy who thought they should let bin
Laden skate. As Robert Gates, no Trumpie, said, "I think he has been wrong
on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past
four decades.”
This is
the guy who wants to take your doctor, again, and impose another brilliant
healthcare reform idea, again – all designed to unscrew the last big healthcare
reform the Democrats passed, which he praised as “a big [vulgarity] deal.”
He wants
to obey that tiresome Swedish teenager’s commands to sacrifice at the altar of
the weird weather cult. He wants to appoint all Hawaiian and Scat Franciscan
judges.
He
wants to raise taxes, open the borders, let you pay for illegal aliens’ sex
changes, and spark a civil war by taking guns from the people who don’t commit
crimes.
When you
think of a calm, steady, wise presence guiding the nation, you do not think of
Joe Biden, though that’s what is allegedly needed to end the nightmare of the
Trump presidency – you know, the record job numbers and the lack of stupid new
wars. You think of Obama and Stumbles McMyturn, only dumber and touchier.
Just
recently, Biden’s campaign ran an ad alleging that foreigners were “laughing”
at Donald Trump. Is there any Democrat anywhere who takes America’s side in a
dispute with malicious aliens? In any case, those tin pot euroweenies had
plenty to cry about – Donald Trump has forced them to pay up for NATO. Of
course, that will end too if Joe takes office. We’ll return to business as
usual – the business as usual of being shafted for the benefit of the global
bigshots.
Basically,
we’ll get rid of all the peace and prosperity that Trump has brought and get
back to normal – that is, people like us being plundered by the garbage elite.
Trump has
a track record of success, and Democrats hate him. Joe has a track record of failure,
corruption, and creepiness. Well, I guess we know why the Democrats seem to love him.
It’s out
now, my new novel Collapse, the action-packed yet hilarious
sequel to People's Republic, Indian Country and Wildfire. Friendless loser Never Trumpers
hate it, so you’ll love it.

And here's the biggest laugh of all: the Democrat party's
only hope is a confused old man whose corruption is oozing into
the
open only because the Democrats wagered everything on
impeaching President Trump.
The Democratic
Party Is Wounded and Dangerous
Beware the wounded animal. In
pain and desperation, it will do violent things. It seems to me no
coincidence that Joe Biden's big win on Super Tuesday was followed by
Democratic senator Chuck Schumer threatening conservative members of the
Supreme Court on Wednesday.
Joe Biden is hardly Lancelot to President
Trump's dragon. The Democrats and the Deep State needed a
first-class warrior; instead, their best option is a walking advertisement for
Alzheimer's awareness. In his
best days, Joe Biden was the political equivalent of Jack McCall, shooting his
adversaries in the back. When he wasn't using his position of power
for financial gain or stealing other people's words, he was helping his family
line their own pockets. Today, he's a disoriented and stumbling
shell of an unimportant political hack who looks on in confusion while his wife
does his fighting for him. If you've ever wondered what happens to the shriveled soul
of a lifetime liar and Democratic swindler, just cast your eyes upon Old
Joe. He's a walking, talking effigy of Democratic corruption and
amorality. He's what the Democratic Party usually keeps far off
the main stage for the back-alley entertainment; now he's the main event, but
no amount of stick-prodding by Donna Brazile or Tom Perez is going to turn Joe
Biden into Fred Astaire. He's a freak-show carnival attraction at
best, amazing onlookers by his ability to occasionally jumble audible words together
into a sentence. The Democrats needed a man who could command a
movement; all they got was a man who can barely control his own.
I'm not saying President Trump's
re-election is in the bag. Far from it. We've never seen
such an array of villains acting in concert to take down an American
president. The Democratic Party has most of the permanent
bureaucratic Deep State (as well as stealthy anti-Trump Republicans), Wall Street, Russia, Iran, China,
Venezuela, cosmopolitan Europe, global warming doomsayers, the Middle East's
worst terrorists, and domestic Antifa terrorists here at home all actively
working to dislodge President Trump from the White House. In the past, the chiefs of our
intelligence agencies and clandestine services retired into relative obscurity,
cognizant that duty commanded their silent withdrawal into the pages of
history. After orchestrating a coup against the American president,
however, it is not unusual to see the former heads of Obama's CIA, FBI, and NSC
all tirelessly justifying their criminal acts on cable news each
night. The corporate news media and institutional government have
spent years trying to gin up enough hysteria in the nation that mock beheadings
of the president and ritual re-enactments of his assassination during summer
theater might lead the American people to clamor for the real thing.
So, no, the 2020 election will not be
over until all the votes have been counted on November 3, and it becomes clear
that we have successfully preserved Western civilization for at least a little
while longer from this most recent manifestation of Vienna's bloody 1683
siege. All I am saying is that Joe
Biden was never meant to be the establishment's champion for resurrecting their
oligarchic power. They
wanted a formidable presidential nominee, someone who could check all the right
identity politics boxes while stringing words together that were substantively
meaningless while singularly inspiring. Instead, they're settling
for a politician past his expiration date who sounds less crème de la crème and
more soused in crème de menthe. The Democratic Party may depend on
dead voters to win elections, but running dead candidates is another thing
altogether.
So just because the cable news anchors
and Carville clones are all high-fiving each other and cheering for managing to
narrowly prevent a communist disciple of Stalin and Castro from sewing up the
Democratic nomination for president by the beginning of March, don't forget how
disappointed they are at heart. If Biden goes on to clinch the
nomination, the Democratic Party will have managed to take all the aloof,
plain, manila-folder blandness of John Kerry and combine it with the alertness
and energy of a nursing home after pill rounds. This is the one whom
the commentariat is celebrating right now, the guy Obama and the gang blocked
from running in 2016 because they felt him not quite up for the challenge when
he was four years younger. The vice president during the slowest economic recovery since the
Great Depression, the wordsmith who marveled at Obama for being strangely
"articulate" for a black guy, and the obtrusive shoulder-rubber whose
chief political instinct was to sniff the hair of the wives and daughters of
White House officials and visiting dignitaries. Imagine being in such dire straits
because the previous Democratic president so hollowed out the party's future by
losing over a thousand elected officials across the country during his time in
office that the last, great hope to beat President Trump this year is just
hoping to make it to bed each afternoon before saying something so
inappropriate or illogical or ridiculous that Red Bernie becomes the Democrat's
Dear Leader by default. For every minute of his few wakeful hours,
his handlers have to be on constant guard against the possibility that a voice
in Biden's head will scream, "Oh, look, a young child with
wonderful-smelling hair." "Comeback
Joe"? More like "Come back, Joe!"
The Democrats and the Deep State have
spent the last four years constructing the greatest wag-the-dog spectacle
America's ever seen in an attempt to cover up the malfeasance and criminality
of the last administration, while preventing the current one from achieving too
many victories. Considering that
Brennan and Comey are still free and Obama and Hillary are still smiling,
they've been remarkably successful. But the Mueller obfuscation and Schiff circus are behind us,
the dance music of delay is dying down, and the Democrats' and Deep State's
ability to keep pushing back their day of reckoning is coming to an
end. If they don't win in 2020, they cannot keep justice at bay,
regardless of how stacked in their favor it has always been in the
past. And standing in the gap as their last-ditch prospect to save
them from President Trump's re-election and spare them from long delayed
judgment is none other than Corn Pop's archenemy. The one
"reasonable" Democrat in the race who has already burnished his
"moderate" credentials by fully embracing Bernie's Green New Deal,
Warren's Medicare for All, and Beto's door-to-door gun
confiscation. Nothing says "electable centrist Democrat"
like "D'oh!" Biden's full tilt toward Marxist
socialism. No wonder Chuck Schumer sounds like some injured animal
in the forest, lashing out at tree branches all around him. That's
what small, weak, dying creatures do when they know the end is near.
