FUKED AMERICA! HERE'S WHAT THE BRIBES SUCKING DEMOCRAT PARTY AND 'CREDIT CARD' JOE BIDEN HAVE DONE - IT'S ONLY DOWNHILL FROM HERE!

George Soros, the Obamas, Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett, and many other wealthy, elite, no-borders, one-world Marxist climate zealots have an iron grip on the Democrat Party from bottom to top. Are the elites deliberately choosing weak people so as to control them from behind the curtain? We know they have done that with Biden, Kamala, and Fetterman. Is this their new modus operandi; choose the weak who will bow to the strong because the weak are more palatable to voters than the strong?

Here comes the October Surprise!

The tactic described as the October Surprise holds the juiciest fruits of opposition research until late in the election cycle. The key is to save the reveal until it’s too late to elicit an effective response. With the modern plethora of media outlets ready, willing, and able to leak campaign secrets or propaganda, the problem has been to keep the scoop under wraps long enough to limit the target’s response. With the pitiful slate of Democrat candidates and the party’s failed policies wreaking havoc on our nation and the economy, it seems the Dems have been emptying their bag of tricks prematurely.

You still know it’s coming soon. Even though those wacky Dems have already launched their September Surprise. And their August surprise. And their June and July surprises. They would have a daily surprise if they could keep their weak sisters in the media up to speed. 

They need something like the leak of the Supreme Court reversal of the Roe decision to yield a sufficient “Surprise.” They’ve already pedaled their Student Loan Forgiveness surprise. bomb. If Merrick Garland could have held his horses a bit longer, the FBI’s raid on Donald Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago could have been the perfect October surprise. Launched prematurely, the raid has been exposed and turned into a liability for the Dems.

Maybe it’s a bit nostalgic to call these mostly fictional bombshells surprises any more. The biggest surprise would be for the Democrats to run honest campaigns and lighten up on the slander and libel.

Here are some suggestions for the Democrats who seem woefully short of them these days. But remember, the surprises could come from either side of the aisle:

Now if Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, and Lisa Murkowski were to announce that they were joining the Democrat party, it would be news, but certainly no surprise. Likewise with the possibility of Joe Manchin turning Republican. He’s damaged goods and no longer a possible asset: Anyone who could get slickered by Feeble Joe Biden couldn’t possibly be of much use.

Maybe Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi could convince one of their cafeteria Catholic supportive priests to serve them communion in an abortion clinic.

Or an enterprising media outlet could dig up an old video featuring Kamala Harris and Willie Brown.

Joe Biden could try to claw back the blacks he’s losing by issuing an executive order starting the payment of reparations to the supposed living descendants of the victims of slavery.

Maybe a leak from a “prominent researcher” suggesting that Donald Trump could be Patient One for the MonkeyPox.

Would it surprise you if Merrick Garland ordered a raid on the home of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, the man who filled the vacancy on the Court that Garland is certain rightfully belongs to him?

The Biden administration could announce the retirement of Karine Jean-Pierre as White House spokesperson to be replaced by John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, who will be retiring from the race for the open Senate seat in Pennsylvania.

Lord knows, Dr. Jill Biden can provide a fashion surprise at any time. I’m afraid to speculate what fashion emergency she will come up with next.

The real surprise would be if Joe Biden got something right.

In any case, be aware. It is October and there will be surprises, more than likely emanating from the Democrat party and amplified by their accomplices in the state-run media. You could set your calendar by it.

A Commie Coalition of Racists, Butchers, Liars, and Ghouls

Kamala cackles at Korea's DMZ.  Braindead Biden speaks to ghosts.  Wicked Witch Hillary curses America with lies.  Halloween season must be here.  Except the evil that Democrats do lasts all year long.  Filled with racists, butchers, killers, liars, misanthropes, thieves, and snobs, the commie coalition of leftists in America pursues nothing but harm.  Feasting on children, spreading fear and hate, they are the carnival horror show no sane person would dare permit through the gates.  Wherever their power grows, Dems bring darkness (thanks, Green New Deal!), scary times, and frightening monsters.  (Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself, after all.)

It is clear that the commie coven has cast a spell upon the country, transfixing too many otherwise rational-thinking Americans into supporting wicked things.  Who could be in favor of explicitly judging people by the color of their skin?  Who could support secretly grooming innocent children to partake in sexual fantasies?  Who could promote mutilating a child's body as if "transgenderism" were a sacred rite?  Who could demand that babies be sacrificed on the altar of convenience?  Who could preach that freedom is sinful and that obedience to government is divine?  Who could maliciously scare billions with the unscientific doomsaying of imminent climate apocalypse?  Who could steal food and fuel from the poor, while global elites choose who will be lucky enough to eat?  Who could teach Westerners self-loathing on such a grand scale?  Surely only very wicked people could do such things.  Or people who have become lost in the delusions of malevolent magicians who seed discord, spread lies, feed on pain, despoil innocence, and thrive on hate.

Leftism really is a curse because it twists minds into believing hideous things.  Saying, "All lives matter," is somehow racist.  Wanting to "Make America Great" somehow spreads hate.  Treating people equally regardless of skin color promotes "white supremacy."  Rewarding merit and hard work does, too.  The less someone thinks of race, the more that person is condemned as "racist," while the more someone obsesses over race, the more "virtuous" that person is said to be.  Only "racists" today treat people of all shades the same.

What a sick world the commies have built.  White adolescent males have been intentionally left behind.  Their rates for academic achievement have plummeted, while their rates for alcohol and drug dependence continue to rise.  They are lonely, without purpose, and suicidal as never before, yet the merciless Marxists beat them over the head with allegations of their miraculous "supremacy."  There are no scholarships for "white boys."  There are no clubs where they are encouraged to belong.  They are not invited to succeed.  Books, television shows, and movies relentlessly paint them as the villains.  The federal bureaucracy treats them as potential "domestic threats."  The stories of their ancestors are rewritten as shameful tales best to forget.  They have become the eternal whipping post for the hideously racist political left.  

Where has compassion gone?  To where has the dream of a colorblind world vanished?  Why must young innocents be punished for perceived "sins" committed in the distant past?  Who could possibly justify looking through a person's character and seeing instead nothing but oppressive hues?  Only a race-obsessed commie coalition seeking to divide.  Only hateful demagogues who maintain power by teaching others to despise.

In America, former president but lifelong Marxist Barack Obama can slander proponents of secure borders as racists, and nobody bats an eye.  Babbling Vice President Harris can promise to disburse federal funds for victims of Hurricane Ian based on Americans' skin color, and corporate news talking heads applaud.  Nancy Pelosi can justify millions of illegal aliens as necessary for picking crops, and America's most race-obsessed pretend not to hear.  White victims can be violently targeted on the street by criminal gangs, and Democrat mayors cover up their race-based crimes.  Beloved statues and monuments honoring the world historical achievements of America's Founding Fathers can be defiled and toppled, and no arrests are ever made.  A white male waving the American flag or singing the National Anthem too proudly, however, is condemned for not proactively apologizing for the color of his skin.  Hidden "racist" intent is seen lurking in every corner of society.  Americans insufficiently dedicated to racial grievance are "canceled" for imaginary sins.  Those unwilling to rewrite history are punished.  Those who refuse to believe in "woke" delusions are derided.  That's how the left helps evil win.

It has been said often that a culture can be judged by how it treats its most vulnerable, and by any measure the West will soon be harshly judged.  It was not enough to legalize abortion while promising to keep it rare.  The killing of children had to be embraced, then universalized, then celebrated, and finally used as an absurd "human right" cudgel against its opponents.  It was not enough to redefine the ancient institution of marriage when destroying the traditional family was the Marxists' ultimate goal.  It was never about preaching "tolerance" for others when the political left steadfastly refuses to leave God-fearing Americans alone.

Young students forced to endure Marxist indoctrination may be surprised to learn that a short time ago there was no confusion over biological sex.  Nowhere in the world did any culture, scientific body, or human rights group find it controversial to believe in the existence of biologically-defined women and men.  Parents had no trouble distinguishing their daughters from their sons.  Schools had no need to invent hundreds of "genders" to account for each human's uniqueness.  Medicine had not been so politicized as to turn basic genetics upside-down.  Only a few years of propaganda and brainwashing, though, were sufficient for thousands of years of human history to be tossed out.  What unbelievable witchcraft it is to transform a basic fact of life into a divisive curse for argument and division.  How sinister it is to teach toddlers outright lies.  How barbaric it is to encourage boys and girls to take life-altering hormones and undergo irreversible surgeries before ever growing up.  What ghoulish monsters the Marxists are for mangling bodies, manipulating psyches, and ruining lives.

As if teaching racism, butchering children, and killing babies were not enough, the left's horror tale is not complete without the frightful terrors of global warming.  So committed they are to centralized government power and so obsessed they are with unchecked population growth that the Marxists would rather terrify the world with visions of destruction than let children grow up with hope.  To tell kids that their parents are killing them with "fossil" fuels.  To spread outrageous propaganda that the world does not have long to live.  What sinister intent inspires such apocalyptic prevarications?  What kind of evil people spread such fear and dread? 

It takes a certain kind of monster to intentionally hurt and scare the weak.  It takes a certain kind of villain to terrorize the poor.  It takes awfully racist people to obsess over the color of children's skin.  It takes misanthropic Marxists to spin lies of planetary horror.  Yet the evil that men do succeeds only when good men choose to remain silent.  So speak up loudly every day.  Break the leftists' spells.  Chase the wicked far away.  And never be compliant.

Another Racism Scandal for John Fetterman

Democrat who held unarmed black jogger at gunpoint promotes TikTok video glorifying violence against black men

 • September 30, 2022 2:30 pm

SHARE

John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, is embroiled in yet another racism scandal after his campaign released a controversial video on TikTok, the Chinese spyware app.

What happened: Fetterman's campaign posted a TikTok video glorifying violence against black men. The crudely animated clip shows Fetterman repeatedly kicking an unarmed black man "in the balls." The candidate promoted the video on Twitter along with the caption, "DC could use a kick in the balls."

By the numbers: More than 45 percent of the Washington, D.C., population is black.

Why it matters: This is not the first time Fetterman has come under fire for being a racist. In 2013, the Democrat chased down an innocent black jogger and held the terrified man at gunpoint after hearing fireworks near his home.

• Malcolm Kenyatta, a black lawmaker who challenged Fetterman in the Democratic primary, correctly observed that Fetterman was the only Democrat in the race who "used a shotgun to chase down an unarmed black jogger."

• Despite winning the primary, Fetterman finished no better than a distant third in the most heavily black areas of Philadelphia.

What they're saying: "I would like white Dems to ask themselves how they would feel knocking on doors in Philly & saying, ‘You gotta get out to vote for this guy even though he held a black man at gunpoint. Sorry!'" wrote liberal journalist Magdi Semrau after Fetterman secured the party's nomination.

The big picture: Fetterman has also been criticized for exposing his children to "despicable" animated content that glorifies human trafficking and child slavery. Earlier this month, the candidate appeared to give a Nazi salute at a pro-abortion rally.

The bigger picture: Planned Parenthood, the nation's leading pro-abortion group, was founded by a prominent supporter of eugenics, a racist philosophy that was also embraced by Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime.

Fetterman Free Fall: Poll Shows Democrat Campaign Collapse in Pennsylvania

Republican Mehmet Oz has further put himself within striking distance of his Democrat opponent in the Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race, with the latest Fox News poll showing he trails by just four points.

Surveying 1,008 registered Pennsylvania voters between September 22-26 with a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points, the new poll puts Fetterman at 45 percent while Oz stands at 41 percent, a full four points within the sampling error and a tremendous surge for Oz, who trailed Fetterman by 11 points in late July.

Neither candidate enjoys majority support, with the three percent going to independent Everrett Stern and 11 percent undecided.

“A large 82 percent majority feels certain they will vote, rating themselves a 10 out of 10, and among this subgroup, Fetterman is also ahead by 4 points, 48 percent – 44 percent,” Fox News noted.

Most importantly, the poll shows that Fetterman’s cognitive issues, as evidenced by his frequent incoherent gaffes on the campaign trail, have become a cause for concern among voters, while concerns of Mehmet Oz’s alleged carpetbagger status as a former New Jerseyan has decreased. A full 34 percent expressed extreme worry that Fetterman will not be mentally competent enough to perform his job, an 11-point jump from the same poll in July.

In July, 52 percent of those polled expressed concerns over Mehmet Oz’s carpetbagger status; that concern has since seen a nine-point drop.

On the issue of enthusiasm, Fetterman still outpaces Oz, with 62 percent of support versus Oz’s tepid 38 percent. Fetterman has also maintained party loyalty, enjoying 87 percent of support among Democrats while Oz enjoys 83 percent of support among Republicans. Republican pollster Daron Shaw said that Oz’s path to victory will be rallying support among his base.

“The Pennsylvania Senate seat remains perhaps the best opportunity for a Democratic pick-up this cycle,” Shaw said. “While Oz has closed the gap by rallying GOP support, he still needs to convince wavering Republicans and independents that he’s up to the task.”

George Soros, the Obamas, Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett, and many other wealthy, elite, no-borders, one-world Marxist climate zealots have an iron grip on the Democrat Party from bottom to top. Are the elites deliberately choosing weak people so as to control them from behind the curtain? We know they have done that with Biden, Kamala, and Fetterman. Is this their new modus operandi; choose the weak who will bow to the strong because the weak are more palatable to voters than the strong? M.B. MATHEWS


However, the lust for power and immense pecuniary gains cause people to behave in the most cold-hearted fashion.  It is inhuman of Biden's wife and family to allow him to be exploited like this, such that he becomes the target of ridicule. 

Biden is the empty vessel into which anything can be poured. RAJAD LAAD


Fetterman Gave Nod to Crips Street Gang During Mayoral Campaign

As a mayoral candidate in 2005, Senate hopeful John Fetterman adopted a unique tactic to appeal to the youth of Braddock, Pa.: tout the borough’s connections to the notorious Crips street gang. After his election, he downplayed the gang’s prevalence in his town, and attributed some of their gang activity to the acts of "disenfranchised" and "disenchanted" youth.

During his first mayoral run in 2005, Fetterman adopted the slogan "Vote John Mayor of Braddocc," a nod to the spelling that local Crips gang members used for the town. After he was elected, Fetterman created the website Braddocc.com as part of a revitalization project to appeal to young people in the dilapidated steel town. The now-defunct website, which Fetterman launched with his own money, explains that "Braddocc" was "unofficially renamed" by the "young and disenfranchised for its Crip allegiance." The Justice Department considers the Crips, founded in southern California in the 1970s, to be one of the country’s most violent street gangs.

Fetterman, the Pennsylvania lieutenant governor, has come under fire during his Senate bid for his progressive views on criminal justice reform. Republicans have portrayed Fetterman as soft on crime for calling for the release of up to one-third of Pennsylvania’s prison inmates. As chairman of Pennsylvania’s Board of Pardons, Fetterman cast the lone vote to free several people convicted of first-degree murder. His appointee for secretary of the board has called to "disarm the police," and has referred to cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal as her "friend" and "buddy," the Washington Free Beacon reported.

Fetterman has denied that he glorifies the Crips or gang culture, though he has acknowledged that his embrace of the "Braddocc" nickname helped him in his 2005 campaign by attracting younger voters.

"Ultimately I carry their flag, because they’re the ones that made the difference that I won by one vote that first election," he said in 2015. "It’s not a glorification of gang violence, or embracing gang violence," he added of the "Braddocc" moniker, noting that he "caught some flak … because some people thought I was spelling it like a gangster."

While Fetterman promoted Crips lingo, he downplayed the gang’s presence in Braddock after his election win. In 2006, he said gang graffiti that appeared on buildings in the borough were the act of "a disenfranchised young person who is disaffected and has few options."

"You have ‘C'z Up' and ‘Ghuttacide,' but at the end of the day it's not a movement; it's not a reflection of what's going on. One shouldn't make the erroneous assumption that it's some kind of movement, some kind of criminal element," he told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 2006.

Fetterman said punishing the teens behind the graffiti was not an ideal remedy and that the graffiti "appears more fearsome than it is."

But Crips were active in Braddock during Fetterman’s tenure as mayor.

Members of the gang appeared in a video from the late-2000s discussing their life in Braddock, promoting their music with the Braddock-based "Geto Bred Entertainment," and warning rivals against "snitching" to police. The video, which also employs the "Braddocc" moniker, shows gang members rapping in front of graffiti that bears the "C’z Up" and "Ghuttacide" tags that Fetterman discussed with the Post-Gazette.

Fetterman's campaign denies that Fetterman has any affinity for the Crips.

"The notion that John Fetterman has any affinity for the crips is complete and utter bullshit," Fetterman's communications director Joe Calvello told the Free Beacon. "Under John, crips in Braddock were taken off the street and put in jail."

Fetterman’s nod to the Crips can still be found at his loft in Braddock, where a city sign emblazoned with the gang’s graffiti hangs above his refrigerator. The New York Times photographed Fetterman in front of the sign for a 2011 profile. Fetterman’s wife posted a photo to social media in 2020 with the sign in the background.


Fetterman Voted To Free Murderer Who Hacked Innocent Man to Death With Garden Shears

Senate hopeful was 'happy' to release murderer who, while out on bond, ordered hit on top witness

Charles "Zeke" Goldblum was sentenced to life in prison for killing a man with garden shears in a parking garage in downtown Pittsburgh and later trying to hire a hitman to kill his accomplice in the brutal murder. As lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, Senate hopeful John Fetterman voted to set Goldblum free in 2019 and said he was "happy" when the killer was released from prison last year.

Goldblum was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1976 killing of George Wilhelm as part of an insurance fraud cover-up. According to prosecutors, Goldblum and an accomplice, Clarence Miller, lured Wilhelm to a parking garage in Pittsburgh, where Goldblum stabbed the man 26 times. While out on bail, Goldblum tried to hire an undercover police officer to murder Miller, who had fingered Goldblum for the crime.

Goldblum, who has maintained his innocence, was poised to die in prison, having unsuccessfully appealed for clemency seven times. But in 2019, Pennsylvania's Board of Pardons, which Fetterman chairs, voted unanimously to release Goldblum from jail, overriding the wishes of Wilhelm’s family. To justify its decision, the board points to the judge and prosecutor on Wilhelm's case, who have since concluded he was the accomplice rather than the principal assailant.

But in 2007, a federal appeals court rejected Goldblum's request for an evidentiary hearing, writing, "there is just too much evidence here establishing Goldblum's guilt." Both judge and prosecutor have been vague about what information motivated their reversal, and no one has claimed Goldblum is innocent of the hitman charge.

Still, Fetterman cheered when Goldblum was released from jail last year, saying he was "happy that he’s going to be going home to his family" and that Goldblum was "not a threat to public safety." The commutation was part of Fetterman’s pledge to "transform" Pennsylvania’s pardon process and free more prisoners, a record the Democrat has touted on the campaign trail. Fetterman specifically points to his efforts to end life sentences for those who are involved in murders but did not directly "pull the trigger."

Beyond Goldblum, however, Fetterman has voted to free "triggermen" convicted of first-degree murder. Last year, he was the only member of the board to vote to release Wayne Covington, who pleaded guilty to first-degree murder for killing a man for money to buy heroin. That ordeal has already made its way into GOP ads that argue Fetterman is "too far left" and "dangerously liberal on crime," suggesting Fetterman's record as chair of the board may not be the winning issue he thinks it is.

Following his release from prison in 2021, Goldblum admitted he hired Miller to burn down a restaurant he owned in order to collect the insurance money. The pair went on to arrange a meeting with Wilhelm, who "knew of Goldblum's involvement in the land fraud scheme and the arson" and wanted a payment, according to federal court documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. Wilhelm did not leave the meeting alive—he was stabbed 26 times while in a car with Goldblum and Miller, who "agreed to lie to the police in order to provide each with an alibi" and "left the scene together," court documents show.

While out on bond and awaiting trial, Goldblum concocted a "slay-for-pay plot" to kill Miller, who was expected to testify against Goldblum, the Pittsburgh Press reported in 1976. Goldblum, according to the Press, offered an undercover detective $2,000 to whack his co-conspirator but balked at the would-be assassin's request for payment in advance, stating, "I was burned on this before. I'm not fronting anyone." Goldblum has since acknowledged he "put a hit out on Miller," who court documents describe as "the Commonwealth's chief witness."

Goldblum has claimed he was merely a witness to Miller stabbing Wilhelm, who shortly before his death told a police officer "Clarence Miller did this to me." But prosecutors have argued that Goldblum’s attempt to hire a hitman to kill Miller indicated he was guilty of killing Wilhelm, and Wilhelm’s family members strongly opposed his release, insisting he is guilty of their relative’s murder.

"His claims of innocence have no merit," Wilhelm’s niece, Sandra Horton, told the Pennsylvania Capital-Star of Goldblum in 2019. "We thought [his life sentence] would be just that—a life sentence without the possibility of parole, and that he would be made to accept his role in George’s brutal death." Horton blamed Fetterman and Pennsylvania governor Tom Wolf (D.) for freeing the killer after his pardon application was denied seven times previously. "It’s Wolf and Fetterman," she said. "That’s how we got here. … The eighth time’s the charm."

Fetterman campaign spokesman Joe Calvello defended the Democrat's vote to free Goldblum, saying "John is proud of his work on the Board of Pardons giving second chances to non-violent offenders and the wrongfully convicted."

"Goldblum was wrongfully convicted and that is why John, along with every other member of the Board of Pardons, voted to recommend clemency," Calvello told the Free Beacon. "The judge and prosecutor that presided over his trial also came to this conclusion and advocated for his release."

Pennsylvania's Board of Pardons is no stranger to controversy. In 1992, board members voted to commute the sentence of serial killer Reginald McFadden. Within months of his release, McFadden killed two people and kidnapped and raped a third woman. The scandal prompted Pennsylvania voters to raise the board's approval standard from a majority vote to a unanimous one, a move that caused life-sentence commutations to plummet.

Fetterman has pushed to lower the board’s vote threshold to 4-1. In January, he appointed his campaign political director, Celeste Trusty, as secretary of the Board of Pardons. Trusty supports many of the same criminal justice reform policies as Fetterman and has called to "disarm the police." She is a supporter and self-avowed "friend" of Mumia Abu-Jamal, a former Black Panther who murdered Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981, the Free Beacon reported.

Joe Biden wanders off lost, again

The day before yesterday, amid all the United Nations festivities, Joe Biden was addressing the Global Fund's Seventh Replenishment Conference in New York. 

The event was organized to raise funds to fight AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria.

Biden ended his speech by thanking all the participants for their contributions.

Biden had managed the challenging part of the exercise, reading off the teleprompter devoid of major gaffes.  All he had to do was exit the stage into a safe zone away from prying eyes and camera lenses.

Anyone with functioning cognitive abilities could achieve this with ease.  Alas, that wasn't the case with Biden.

Biden walked toward the right side of the stage to disembark but suddenly stopped, looking confused and lost.

Biden appeared to be mumbling under his breath.  His utterances were inaudible owing to the surrounding noises at the venue.

The host then read out a thank you note, which attracted Biden's attention but seemed to compound his bewilderment.

The video has been viewed nearly six million times. 

To be fair, this was an unfamiliar venue, and camera flashes can temporarily impair visibility.  But when this happens, most individuals promptly look for guidance from personnel from the venue. 

But in Biden's case, this was more than a momentary confusion.  He seemed utterly lost for quite some time.

This isn't the first time Biden seemed to be disoriented.

It happened at the White House following an appearance alongside President Obama.

It even happened on the White House lawn, where Biden ambled around aimlessly despite being prompted by members of the Secret Service.

At one event, Biden once shook hands with an invisible man.

Biden recently struggled to accomplish the simple task of getting his jacket on. When he tried, he dropped his sun goggles.  He needed the assistance of his wife Jill.

Biden seems like an appliance struggling to function when the battery is almost drained. 

An easy way to verify Biden's decline is to watch videos of his from a decade ago.  Biden wasn't exactly the most adept of wordsmiths or astute of thinkers.  But he was able to construct coherent sentences and exit a room.

Yes, Biden was always prone to gaffes, but those gaffes often emanated from carelessness and overconfidence bordering on arrogance.

As vice president, he paid condolences to an Irish then–prime minister over the supposed death of his mother.  However, his tribute was utterly premature, because the lady in question was alive and well.

Biden's recent gaffes are of a different nature.  They originate from a mind that is obviously not functioning fully.

Months ago, Texas GOP rep. Ronny Jackson, who was the White House physician for the Obama and Trump administrations, demanded that Biden take a cognitive test

So what is this condition?

Johns Hopkins Medicine's website states that cognitive disorder impairment, or dementia, usually affects older adults.  This condition affects memory, thinking, and behavior.  It progresses to the point where it affects basic activities and functions. 

An individual who suffers from this mustn't be assigned stressful or complex tasks such as leading one of the world's largest democracies and having access to nuclear weapons.

The decline in Biden's cognitive abilities was apparent from the day he launched his presidential bid.

Even his fellow Democrats taunted him during a primary debate.

But someone in the higher echelons of the Democrat party hatched this plan to install a puppet in the White House.  Someone knew he could use Biden to push a far-left agenda that would alter America forever.

Most presidents are concerned about their legacy and are reluctant to bring about drastic changes.  But Biden struggles to remember his way around the White House lawn, so the notion of his legacy is unlikely to even cross his impaired mind.

So what do we have now?

Biden is lost, both in the literal sense and the metaphorical sense.

The nation is struggling due to Biden's misgovernance on matters ranging from record inflation to an open border.  The world is in chaos.  Afghanistan seems to be back in control of ISIS and al-Qaeda, while the conflict in Ukraine seems to be needlessly escalating due to war-mongers in Washington.  Taiwan is on tenterhooks.  Venezuela has descended into a full-blown narco-state and puppet of Russia, its nationals fleeing that country in their millions.

Biden frequently makes claims that the White House has to walk back, which even his allies in the media are forced to chronicle.

Biden claimed that Vladimir Putin must be ousted from power.  Perhaps Biden inadvertently revealed the mission behind the U.S. intervening in the conflict in Russia, as that claim was summarily walked back.

Biden recently claimed that the pandemic is over, but the puppetmasters repudiated that statement, too.

Beyond the walk-backs, Biden's schedule when he is in the White House is always light.  He frequently escapes to Delaware, even when the country is struggling under myriad crises due to his misgovernance.

Biden rarely is subjected to the press for impromptu questions, and in fact, Biden's staffers often prevent him from answering questions.  Live broadcasts are frequently delayed by an hour, quite possibly because Biden is unprepared.

Biden read cluelessly from a teleprompter, making it obvious that he doesn't comprehend the words he is pronouncing. 

He reads anything before him, including the instructions.

The White House may manage to "manage" Biden, but his incapacity is exposed when he has to deal the shrewd adversaries such as Russia's President Putin.

Putin surely realized during his one-to-one meeting with Biden that Biden was compromised and not in control.  Perhaps it emboldened him to engage militarily in Ukraine.

What should the GOP do if they win majorities in the Senate and the House following the midterms?

They must compel Biden to take a thorough cognitive test, and the test results must be made public.  The test must be administered in the presence of Dr. Jackson and Dr. Rand Paul in addition to Biden's team of doctors.

If Biden were to fail those tests, he must be relieved from his duties, immediately.

The first alternative is the 25th Amendment, which has never been used previously.  Here the vice president and the majority of the president's Cabinet determine that the president is unfit for office.  Congress then approves that process by a two-thirds vote in both chambers.

This is an impossibility since the vice president and Biden's Cabinet are Democrats.

The second alternative is impeachment.

Despite the fact that the GOP won't be able to convict Biden in the Senate due to the likes of Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, and other usual suspects, a Republican Congress must impeach Biden for symbolic reasons.

Installing a puppet and running a government by proxy are tactics used by the Deep State of third-world totalitarian regimes.  This must never be allowed in one of the world's leading democracies.

However, the lust for power and immense pecuniary gains cause people to behave in the most cold-hearted fashion.  It is inhuman of Biden's wife and family to allow him to be exploited like this, such that he becomes the target of ridicule. 

Biden is the empty vessel into which anything can be poured. 

This dream is for the Democrats eager to force their unpopular and unsustainable ideas on the public, yet this has become an unmitigated nightmare for the American people.

The Democrats have diminished the highest office in the nation and the nation itself.

Fetterman skipped out on his taxes but wants to raise yours

When you don't bother to pay your taxes, it's probably an easy thing to vote to raise taxes.  Any number times zero is always going to be zero.

This brings us to the latest tax-happy tax scofflaw, John Fetterman, who's running for a Senate seat in Pennsylvania.

According to WTAE Action News 4 of Pittsburgh:

BRADDOCK, Pa. — Action News Investigates has learned that Braddock Mayor John Fetterman, a candidate for the U.S. Senate, has a history of unpaid taxes.

Court records show dozens of tax liens filed against Fetterman and an organization he leads.

Fetterman is running for Senate as a Democrat on his record of working to improve Braddock. He has spent thousands of dollars fixing up properties and putting them on the tax rolls.

Over the years, Fetterman and a community group he heads called Braddock Redux have been hit with tax liens totaling $25,000.

Dozens?  And they all got to the "lien" level?  Doesn't seem as though he tries very hard to keep current with the feds and/or the state and local tax officials.  The news report says that he has since paid off both his personal and company liens, but many were done at cut-rate reductions so that the state and federal officials could at least collect something.  Fetterman himself has effectively said, "Hey, it was just a little bit."

"They were never substantial, and it was all involving properties that we either saved and put back on the books or saved for the community," he said.

His Senate contest rival, Mehmet Oz, known as Dr. Oz, has pointed out that not only does this guy not pay his taxes the way Little People Pay Taxes, but he also hankers to raise taxes on those Little People.

John Fetterman supported Governor Wolf's 2021 budget proposal which would have increased Pennsylvania taxes by more than $6 billion per year.

John Fetterman supports Senator Elizabeth Warren's wealth tax, which she claimed would raise revenue by $3.75 trillion over a decade. 

John Fetterman is a vocal supporter of soda excise taxes, calling it "brilliant," which is a tax even Senator Bernie Sanders calls "regressive."

And in 2021, John Fetterman slammed U.S. Senate Democrats for only wanting to raise the corporate tax rate by 4 percent. 

Oz has got it right.

Normal people, when they have messy tax problems, or owe other kinds of debts, clean those things up before a major life event, such as getting married or running for office.  To the extent that they can, they don't let these problems even form.  They don't let these problems fester into liens or lawsuits on a plethora of issues as if by habit.  Oz has noted this:

According to public records available through the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas, No Show Fetterman and his group, Braddock Redux, have been sued 67 times for more than $34,000 in county and school district property taxes, as well as trash and sewer liens.

For example, between 2006 to 2012, John Fetterman's residential properties in North Braddock were subject to more than $11,000 in liens in unpaid Woodland Hills School District property taxes, county taxes, and garbage fees.

Not this guy.  His agenda is skip taxes himself and call himself untouchable, while raising taxes on the little guy.

As I noted earlier, X times zero is always zero.

If he wins the Senate seat, which seems increasingly unlikely now that Oz has gained political momentum in the polls, he'll join an impressive club of scofflaw Democrats who advocate for raising other people's taxes, as well as hiring 87,000 new IRS agents to target small business, while not bothering to pay taxes themselves.  It really is a pattern with these Democrats.  Here's a sample list:

  • Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who still hasn't paid $2,000 in back taxes on her failed business venture, while voting to hike taxes on every bill that hikes taxes the Democrats have put out.  For good measure, she wore a designer gown at a fat-cat charity ball bearing the words "Tax the Rich."
  • Obama Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner didn't bother paying his taxes while in the employ of the IMF, figuring no one would check on such an inflation income delivered by a non-U.S. multilateral body with no tax reporting requirements.  Sure, he made up the difference when it came up during his nomination process, but had he not been nominated, he likely would have gone his merry way.  Taxes, see, are for little people who can't escape reporting and surveillance requirements of their employers.
  • Hunter Biden, who was headed for jail based on his massive overseas earnings, which went unreported.  A mysterious Hollywood lawyer paid the unpaid taxes, and now Hunter "owes him," likely in more ways than one.
  • Stacey Abrams, who owed $54,000 to the IRS in 2018 during her gubernatorial run, and got it paid through a big write-off with the IRS in 2019, a nice discount not everyone gets.  In addition to that, she has a tremendous history of personal fiscal mismanagement, such as bouncing checks and running out on her bills.  Like Fetterman, she'd like a Senate seat in order to raise your taxes some more.

In addition, the NRCC, which is the National Republican Congressional Committee, has identified six other Democrats who voted to hire 87,000 new IRS agents to target small business while skipping out on their tax deadlines themselves, either paying taxes late with penalties or not paying them at all:

  • Vicente Gonzalez
  • John Garamendi
  • Sean Casten
  • Andy Kim
  • Sean Patrick Maloney
  • Deborah Ross 

This is quite a pattern.  No wonder Fetterman wants to join that club of Democrat tax scofflaws in the Senate; he'd be just like them.  The flip side is that he could join that other club in Congress, the group that makes itself millionaires on their far lower congressional salaries, all through the miracle of their sudden and amazingly good stock-picking acumen.

Tax scofflaws, and millionaires, and just what the Congress needs: another one.  This goes to show just how corrupt the Democrat party has become — in their addiction to raising and enforcing everyone else's taxes, while not paying their own.  Perhaps the IRS's tax-delinquent agents will be onto them, but don't hold your breath.  What Congress needs when power changes hands at the midterms is for the IRS to start targeting politicians first.

KAMALA HARRIS IS A CASE STUDY OF ONE WHO HAS SPENT HER LIFE SUCKING BRIBES; NOTHING MUCH COMES OUT OF HER FAT MOUTH.

TO BE A DEMOCRAT POL, IT ONLY MEANS YOU MUST SERVE BANKSTER FOR BAILOUTS, WALL STREET CRIMINALS AND HIGH TECH BILLIONAIRES FOR OPEN BORDERS. THEN YOU GO SUCK BRIBES AND INSIDE TRADE RAKING IN MILLIONS AS YOU DO!

George Soros, the Obamas, Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett, and many other wealthy, elite, no-borders, one-world Marxist climate zealots have an iron grip on the Democrat Party from bottom to top. Are the elites deliberately choosing weak people so as to control them from behind the curtain? We know they have done that with Biden, Kamala, and Fetterman. Is this their new modus operandi; choose the weak who will bow to the strong because the weak are more palatable to voters than the strong? M.B. MATHEWS



Are Democrats Deliberately Choosing Impaired Candidates?

Once could be excused. Twice is suspicious. Three times seems like a strategy. Are Democrats choosing infirm, intellectually challenged, feeble people to run for office so that they can be easily manipulated?

Joe Biden was and is clearly infirm, physically, psychologically, and cognitively.

John Fetterman is also clearly infirm due to two things: He has had a recent stroke which seems to have left him cognitively impaired, and he also has a rather prominent swelling on the back of his neck, which could be the sign of several very serious conditions.

Kamala Harris is intellectually suspect, linguistically incontinent, and verbally incoherent. Why are these people being chosen by the Democrat Party for the highest offices?

My observation leads me places I would rather not go. With Joe Biden in the White House, he is clearly doing what he is told by others. This much is clear; he simply does not have the stamina, the wisdom, or the political acumen necessary to be an effective President of the United States. His gaffes, his verbal dyslexia, his delusional prevarications, his garbled verbiage, and his ability to reliably make statements his handlers have to mop up afterward, are all deeply troubling. No political party would run such a candidate unless two things were happening: One, the election would be guaranteed to affect a win for the candidate, and two, the candidate would simply be a figurehead for the real powers behind the throne. Biden would have to know that others would be running his presidency. Were he and Jill that easy to roll?

If someone offered a Democrat the most powerful position on the planet and told him, “Don’t worry, we will do all the hard work, you just relax and sign the papers,” wouldn’t most Democrats close the space between them and a pen at the speed of light? Biden would have to have assumed that his old buddy, Barack Obama (and his underlings) would be doing the heavy lifting, allowing Lunchbucket Joe to cruise, basking in the reflected glory without lifting a finger.

The bulb in Kamala Harris' attic is also known to be a little dim. She is supremely arrogant, lacking in leadership and a decent work ethic. She is lazy, entitled, and is unable to keep staff due to her abrasive and very ambitious personality. She was not even able to get enough votes from her own party in 2020 to get on the ticket for POTUS and is so impaired on so many levels that no one wants much to do with her. So imagine our surprise when she was chosen by the Democrat Party as Biden’s running mate. The most unpopular Democrat candidate gets to be vice-president without having a single thing to offer except her well-documented pliability. Kamala’s myriad word salads and bizarre rants about “working together” and the “passage of time,” to name just two, reveal a vapidity that is hard to explain unless her intellectual betters viewed her as malleable in return for the perks of being Veep. She is a mental cipher now a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

John Fetterman’s candidacy seems to be another cruelty perpetrated on the American public in the name of winning at all costs. The candidate for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania has physical and mental problems that preclude coherent statements and reactions to the pressures of running for office. He has already revealed he is not up to the job.

Yet Fetterman is another case where the Democrat Party has chosen the weakest, not the strongest, candidates. It is almost as though the party has made a decision to deliberately choose impaired, malleable, but ambitious people who have failed in their past attempts at wielding power or who are recognized as those who might sell their souls for some power. Were the candidates told, “Don’t worry, we’ve got this"? Were they told, "We’ll handle the voting aspect of this, you just do what you’re told and you’ll cruise your way to power”?

It would make sense if this were indeed the case, because we already know that the Democrats’ insatiable lust for power creates new cynical methodologies: Choose the weak to represent the stronger powers behind the thrones. A malleable winner is preferable to a strong, self-sufficient winner who may not take orders from the real powers behind the thrones. That the Left has an agenda is clear; it involves weakening the populace through policies such as a national gun registry. But they cannot put those policies in place unless the selected leaders promote those radical agenda items which further the leftist cause.

George Soros, the Obamas, Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett, and many other wealthy, elite, no-borders, one-world Marxist climate zealots have an iron grip on the Democrat Party from bottom to top. Are the elites deliberately choosing weak people so as to control them from behind the curtain? We know they have done that with Biden, Kamala, and Fetterman. Is this their new modus operandi; choose the weak who will bow to the strong because the weak are more palatable to voters than the strong?

After all, why run candidates with minds of their own when you can run a candidate who has a mind that can easily be hijacked for radical leftist causes?

Kamala Harris Delivers Word Salad, Again: ‘Community Banks Are In the Community’

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered another word salad on Tuesday as she incoherently explained where “community banks” are located.

“We invested an additional $12 billion into community banks because we know community banks are in the community, and understand the needs and desires of that community as well as the talent and capacity of community,” Harris said.

The vice president’s nonsensical remarks were made at Claflin University in South Carolina at an event with Education Secretary Miguel Cardona during a roundtable discussion with student leaders.

Harris was then mocked on social media as footage of her gaffe went viral.

“Kamala Harris, the greatest orator since Winston Churchill, on community banks,” said Clay Travis, founder of OutKick

“Kamala had to give another book report on a book she didn’t read today… this time the title was, “Community Banks,”” wrote comedian Tim Young.

“Thanks to @vp Kamala Harris for making it clear that: ‘Community banks are in the community,'” tweeted former White House press secretary Sean Spicer. 

This was not the first time the vice president has struggled with her words this year, as Breitbart News has documented.

While speaking at the workforce summit for the American Rescue Plan regarding transportation in July, Harris rambled on the importance of getting home.

“Together, we are expanding access to transportation. It seems like maybe it’s a small issue; it’s a big issue,” the vice president said before incoherently explaining: “You need to get to go and need to be able to get where you need to go to do the work and get home.”

In June, Harris struggled to speak coherently while addressing the future of abortion following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

“The strength of our nation has always been that despite the odds and the obstacles, we push to move forward. That we are guided by what we see that can be unburdened by what has been,” she said.

In March, Harris repeated the phrase “the passage of time” four times within 30 seconds while delivering remarks on accessible high-speed internet.

Harris’s “community banks” remark is also not the first time a Democrat from California stated something that would seem obvious by its phrasing.

In June 2020, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti was asked a question in the wake of the Black Lives Matter Protests to define “systemic racism,” to which he NaN: “Systemic racism is racism that’s built into systems.”
