Across the broad political spectrum of leftists and professional Democrats, the apoplexy is consistent.  Everyone is freaking out about how terrible Joe Biden did in the debate against President Trump.

Biden was incoherent, stumbling, disjointed and generally showing all of the signs of cognitive decline the media have previously denied witnessing.  However, even the most political spin-masters on the Democrat side of the spectrum will not spin this one.  The curtain of denial and pretending has fallen.  The emperor is naked; the crowd admits.

The number one theme being repeated by the professional left is the discussion of replacing Joe Biden with another candidate.  I suspected that was the entire reason for a presidential debate to take place before the conventions.

I have outlined my prediction for almost two years.  California Governor Gavin Newsom is certainly smiling, and there’s a reason why his aunt (in law) Nancy Pelosi, earlier gave up her leadership position to free up some time.  Keep watching.

The side-by-side of President Trump and Joe Biden was brutal for the Democrats, and all of the debate structures built in by CNN to assist Biden ended up backfiring.  It was a hot mess, because Joe Biden is a hot mess.

Donald Trump did great.  MAGA is ascending. The pretenses have dropped.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

First, some have speculated the timing of the first 2024 presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden is so early in the election year, prior to any party convention, because Biden is anticipated to be replaced.  This is considerable supposition, but the date of the debate is indeed very odd.

Secondly, without a doubt the headlines leading into the debate have been seeded with talking points friendly to the Biden position on economics, immigration, inflation and foreign policy (Ukraine).  From economists publicizing letters to government agencies promoting lowered inflation, the talking points for Biden have been well scripted and practiced.

Third, CNN the exclusive media outlet for the debate, is notorious for structuring political attacks against President Trump.  Biden has been in dress rehearsals and training for the optics and soundbites for several weeks.  Knowing CNN gave prior debate questions to Hillary Clinton in advance during the 2016 primary, we can anticipate CNN working hand in glove with the Biden campaign.  They don’t even try to hide this stuff any longer.

That said, if you are watching the debate tonight, consider this an open discussion thread.  I will embed the livestream links below that should work despite CNN being extremely aggressive with the proprietary broadcast controls.

Apparently, the polling about young black voters supporting Donald Trump is real enough to make Joe Biden’s race control officer and campaign co-chair start to demand action from the AME network, black elders and parents of young black voters.

CTH readers well understand the role James Clyburn plays in the ballot counting process {GO DEEP}. However, in a recent interview with far-left NotUs.Org Representative Clyburn took the racial angst up a notch.

The sub headline is “Black parents should be responsible for convincing Black youth to vote for Biden.”

(NotUS) – There’s almost certainly no member of Congress more responsible for President Joe Biden’s victory in 2020 than South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn. And as polls show Biden struggling with Black voters — specifically, younger Black voters — Clyburn has a new message for his generation: It’s time for Black elders to have a chat with the younger branches of the family.

“They should try and talk some sense into their children,” Clyburn told NOTUS in an interview this week, following a series of Biden campaign events in Georgia that he headlined over the weekend.

Clyburn, now the Biden campaign’s 2024 co-chair, believes that younger Black voters have fallen prey to “misinformation and disinformation,” citing the increasing credulity with which voters are taking Donald Trump’s claims that he’s done more for Black people than anyone — with the “possible exception” of Abraham Lincoln.

“If you believe that,” he said of Trump’s comment, “your parents should’ve sent their mule to school and kept you at home.”

Clyburn added that if Black voters go to the ballot box believing Trump’s rhetoric, a second Trump presidency would be imminent. “We may be back into Jim Crow again,” he said. (Read More)

Most astute political followers can predict that “racism” is once again going to be a big part of the campaign strategy to defeat President Trump.  However, after years of beating the same drum with louder and louder severity, the grievance industry has run into the risk of creating deaf ears.

The Supreme Court rejected the standing of the State of Missouri and five individuals in the censorship and free speech case surrounding social media.  The court came down with a 6-3 decision, Justice Amy Coney-Barrett writing the majority opinion.  Justices Alito, Gorsuch and Thomas dissented in the minority.

The background of the case was very familiar to this audience, as the Biden administration was previously blocked by lower courts from telling social media platforms to remove content against their interests.  Today, the Supreme Court rejected the standing of the plaintiffs, essentially giving a green light to the USA government to begin controlling social media platforms again.

If you read the opinion [FULL PDF HERE], I would strongly urge readers to focus beginning on page #11 of the Justice Barrett opinion.  It is obvious in the three or four pages that follow, the court was looking for an exit from the free speech issue.  Denying the case on “standing” grounds became their justification for the cop-out.

Barrett goes out of her way to make the standing issue the crux of the majority opinion.  Comey-Barrett dismisses all the instances of censorship and coerced removal under the auspices that the relief sought by the plaintiffs was for future harm, not past injury.   The lower courts had ruled the government could not interfere with speech in the future, without establishing that each individual plaintiff was harmed specifically by each action of the government.

This headline article from the New York Post caught our attention because it has the familiar ring of “51 former intelligence heads” in the 2020 election.

Previously, the stacking of experts to create disinformation was used to hide the truth within the Hunter Biden laptop, which was evidence of Joe Biden’s pay-to-play schemes.  Now, the “experts” are stacked to claim Joe Biden’s economic policy is better than Donald Trump’s.

I will ignore the article’s Freudian optic of the economist speaking at the globalist WEF event, and instead focus on the facts.  We have an actual track record of President Trump’s MAGAnomic policies to review. We heard the insufferable “inflation created by tariff” arguments back in 2017; they were all false.

Wall Street loves to shout about looming damage that will come if anyone reverses the “service driven economy” policies they rely upon. However, none of their hair on fire arguments ever materialize, because they are not accurate. These economists are politically motivated in their claims.

See below for real data on the outcomes of MAGAnomic policy as delivered in Trump’s first term.

This might be the cited data you want to bookmark for later reference.
