Remember that old political bit about the dangerous 3 a.m. call to the White House?

We wanted our presidents to be strong, alert and vigilant. We want them sharp. We don’t want them to be chumbolones or dim witted, slack-jawed meat puppets performing at the direction of puppet master political bosses.

It was important to all of us that we elected leaders who could wake at 3 a.m., answer that phone and deal with whatever threat is out there to protect their people. Put your partisan politics aside and think of your nation. Was it President Joe Biden who showed himself to be that kind of leader? Or was it former President Donald Trump?

You know the answer. After last week’s disastrous presidential debate—dangerous for America in a world of predatory nuclear powers, and disastrous for the Democrats and their candidate  Biden—we should acknowledge some inconvenient truths.

Our adversaries and our allies know that Joe Biden is unfit for office. He proved it to all of us. The man is not a chief executive. He is not in charge. He is not capable of running a hot dog stand in a sleepy one-dog town, let alone the American White House in a dangerous world with China, Iran, Russia, North Korea and others demanding that we step down so they can take what they want.

So, who is running the White House? Not the sad sack of an Obama meat puppet on display at the CNN debate last week. Is some hack running the White House? Or could it be one of the faceless, hollow men of the Deep State that protected the Obamas, the Clintons and later the Bidens and let them them feed like engorged ticks? And all the while, the corrupt leftist corporate media brays like a herd of donkeys, telling us that that “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”

It was over within minutes, Biden babbling, his  eyes unable to focus, Biden shouting “The idea! The idea!!”and other nonsense. All he needed was a cane to wave at the clouds in the sky. I’m not sorry for him. I love my country. Let others be sad for the Bidens. I’m not sad. They knew what they were doing at the expense of their countrymen. If he were your father, you’d gently escort him off the stage into doctor’s care and out of politics. But if he were your father, you and your siblings would never have let it get this far.

President Biden has no business in the Oval Office.  By lingering there he puts the nation and the world into further jeopardy.  By installing and defending an obviously impaired Biden, the corrupt corporate leftist media and the Democrat Party have made the world a much more dangerous place. He is weak and they have invited aggression from all our nuclear adversaries.

Who will pay? Not the left. Vultures don’t pay for their meals.

But you and your children will pay. Your friends. Your family. Your country.

In the wake of President Biden’s disastrous and humiliating debate performance last night, the chatter was selfishly political about whether Democrats will replace Biden on the ticket, how the mechanics of that might work.

And what is the Biden campaign strategy now that the president has shown himself to be unfit for office? Read John Daniel Davidson in The Federalist:

“But amid the Democrats’ rending of garments and gnashing of teeth, an important point has gone largely unnoticed: America essentially has no president right now. Whomever is calling the shots in the White House, especially on foreign affairs, it isn’t Biden.”

As I was writing this column, I took a short break and posted on Facebook a notice that nominations to  the Golden Moutza of the Month award were open. I’ve been doing this every month for years. Readers know that American presidents are exempt from “winning” the Golden Moutza, but I did mention that Jill Biden, the Edith Wilson of our age, was not exempt. She is eligible. And just then came an ominous Facebook warning that I had perhaps violated their standards. They left it up to me: DO YOU WISH TO CONTINUE?

Yes. Let’s see what happens. I mentioned that Facebook had threatened me, and an odd thing happened. There were few if any public responses to the FB warning.

I do know that $400 million of Zuckerbucks helped the Democrats ice the 2020 election as per Mollie Ziegler Hemingway and her brilliant book “Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech and the Democrats Seized our Elections”

Jill Biden knew that her frail, aged husband was not up to the job when she pushed him forward toward the White House. Remember your history. Woodrow Wilson was a racist, and a progressive. He suffered a stroke and was incapacitated.  And his wife Edith Wilson ran the White House illegally, and unconstitutionally. Progressives think of the Constitution as an encumbrance.

But Edith Wilson had the power and would not let it go. Jill Biden has the power, and will not let it go. Future of the nation be damned, she’s in the White House where power is power. She commits elder abuse and she doesn’t care.

The 51 spies who lied that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation know. The leftist media know. Obamas and the Clintons know. Jill Biden pimping her decrepit old man so she can play the Queen Bee also knows.

Who didn’t know? The American people who relied on leftist corporate media for their news and analysis. Will the corrupt leftist corporate media–the same journalists who carried the lie of the fake Russia Hoax–ever apologize. No, not even a little bit.

 

Now the Democrats have a Biden problem. They can’t hide from it. They might mask it the same way a teenaged girl would mask a pimple, but cosmetics aside, Americans have already seen it.

The world has seen it.

The Democrats can’t get rid of Joe without installing cackling Kamala Harris, selected by Democrat bosses for her skin color. But she is held in worse esteem than the man she called a racist.  Years ago I wrote that Kamala is Joe’s best insurance policy. And she still is.

Some already knew Joe would collapse, like my friends Thom Serafin, Charles Lipson, Steve Huntley, Dan Proft and Jeff Carlin. Why did they know and others did not? They don’t rely on MSNBC or CNN or the cheerleaders of FOX News for vision. They keep their minds clear. They think critically, a lost American art.

Serafin said: “You don’t ‘win‘ debates. You can only ‘lose‘ debates.”

In his most recent column days before the debate, Huntley said fear was “animating Democrat leaders and party faithful who behind the scenes must be verging on panic over the increasing public perception of Biden as a senile old fool, an 81-year-old man who’s doddering, decrepit, feeble in mind and body.” 

Steve, a veteran Chicago newsman deserves a cigar. As Huntley and others predicted, Biden’s halting, stumbling debate performance showed all too clearly that old Joe isn’t up to serving four more years in office. The old man doesn’t even have four weeks in him, let alone four more years.

Aside from Biden’s failure and Democrat panic because they can’t get rid of him,  here are two of my take-aways. Eighty-two percent of Americans have said the 81-year-old Democrat should not run for re-election in the wake of his disastrous face-off against former President Donald Trump.

So the left-wing pundits of CNN and MSNBC have been exposed as frauds. As have those on the New York Times, Washington Post and others. The corrupt leftist corporate media insisted Biden was the victim of  news video fraud called “deep fakes.” The deranged host of “Morning Joe” talked Biden up like a prizefighter who would destroy Trump. “F U” said the host, a former Bush Republican. “You can’t handle the truth.” Again, the media left vultures never pay for their snacks.

Some leftist outlets are now trying to cover their flanks, including the New York Times and Daily Beast are demanding that Biden step down for the good of the nation. They cover their flanks. What they sell is horsepoop and those on the left spoon it down with relish.

And those on the right from FOX News and other outlets who ripped Trump in the election of 2020, and sidestepped away from him are now hoping to cozy up to Trump again. Just one thing for them to remember: Trump, like the elephant, does not forget.

I also tried out my last takeaway from the Biden Debate Disaster on the new episode of the Chicago Way podcast on the root of Democrat panic. Both Prof. Lipson and Jeff Carlin agreed with me. Here’s the working theory:

If only the Democrats had allowed democracy to prevail, but they didn’t. The Democrats stabbed Sen. Bernie Sanders in the back twice and rigged their primaries to protect their corporate weasels and Wall Street influencers, once in 2016 on behalf of Hillary Clinton and later in 2020 for old Joe Biden. They used identity racial politics and other means. I’m no Sanders fan. I am a conservative.

But a Sanders presidential candidacy would have at the very least given Democrats much needed deep cleansing breaths, to expel the poisons and toxins. The Democrat Party did not get any cleansing breaths. Swamp Democrats strangled democracy. And for what? Power.

They got hideously corrupt Hillary who hangs around like some witch Baba Yaga  hanging  around graveyards. And, they got decrepit old Joe Biden trying to shout “The idea!!”. They all planted that poisoned tree. It bore fruit.

And on national television on CNN, all Americans and the world could see what they had produced.

Now we can’t unsee it.
