Political-savvy Democrats must have drawn a sigh of relief when dementia-ridden Joe Biden finally dropped out of the race, but I’m sure they wish the person who replaces him could actually put together a coherent sentence and control their giddy laughing fits. But no, Biden himself and a host of other Democrat movers and shakers are openly endorsing VP Kamala Harris to replace him on the 2024 ballot and the mainstream media is already pushing her. Newsweek even had the audacity to publish unbelievable (and probably phony) polling data showing a percentage of Trump supporters switching over to Harris! Politics has always been a ruthless, corrupt business, but now it’s a laughing stock with giggling Kamala Harris out in front who is no more capable of inspiring confidence as a candidate than Biden was. This week, I’ll try and decipher all these crazy moves as the Deep State appears in disarray and searching for a new strategy of deception for American voters.

The glaring loophole in current voting law is that it does not require documentary proof of citizenship for registration. There is also no specific authority provided to state secretaries of state or local elections officials to access federal databases to confirm that there are no noncitizens on state voter rolls. The SAVE Act is designed to cure these deficiencies.
An Appalachian writer says Hillbilly Elegy played to bogus notions on the left and right about the impoverished region. The only thing that benefited was Vance’s political career.
Vance agreed to join Case's firm, Revolution, to invest in Midwestern startups and help launch a new seed fund. While at Revolution he overlapped with Ron Klain, who would later become President Biden's first chief of staff. Two years later he left Revolution to co-found a Cincinnati-based firm called Narya Ventures with former Mithril colleague Colin Greenspon. Investors in its debut fund included Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Eric Schmidt and Scott Dorsey. Then came a successful Senate run in Ohio, and a full-bearded MAGA conversion, leading up to yesterday's announcement.

The problem? Harris was very publicly put in charge of the border crisis - which of course spiraled out of control (or went according to plan). At the time, the media dubbed her the "Border Czar."
Chaos reigns on the vice president’s staff. And Harris tried to hide it by claiming that her office is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Elon Musk has condemned so-called "gender-affirming care" practitioners for effectively "killing" his son -- by tricking the billionaire into authorizing puberty-blocking treatments out of fear the then-teenager would otherwise commit suicide.

Then Biden suddenly posts a resignation letter with no address to the country. Wreaks of a coup. .."

According to data from the drone, Crooks -- who's said to have been highly intelligent and tech-savvy -- flew it on a pre-programmed path, an official who'd been briefed on the investigation told the New York Times.
