There were a lot of political and campaign soundbites generated by the testimony, non-testimony, of Secret Service Direct Kimberly Cheatle today; however, one exchange between Cheatle and Representative Raja Krishnamoorhi is worth reviewing.

Congressman Krishnamoorthi plays a video in front of Cheatle showing people in the crowd pointing to the shooter and shouting at law enforcement.  Krishnamoorthi then take the opportunity to ask follow-up questions. WATCH (prompted):

A few datapoints are starting to align in a specific direction. Let’s look at the data, then see if a possibility holds merit.

(1) Barack Obama did not endorse Kamala Harris. Given Obama’s distain from ever being on the losing side of anything, the implication is that Kamala likely doesn’t have what it takes to win. The Lightbringer preferring to relish the role of nominee Kingmaker at the Chicago convention, in combination with his massive ego, aligns with this likelihood. Meanwhile, (2) Gavin Newsom does endorse Kamala Harris. Given Newsom’s career ambitions, this decision appears to be looking toward 2028.

Both datapoints would seem to indicate the professional wing of the leftist operation view the November election as an exercise in futility. However, with bets being hedged, that’s not the end of the play. Now we look closer at the position of Biden.

(Via Politico) – […] Steve Ricchetti, who’s been with Biden since his days in the Senate, drove to see the president at his house on the Delaware shore on Friday. Mike Donilon arrived on Saturday. The two men, both of whom had been by Biden’s side during key decisions about whether to seek the presidency in 2016 and 2020, sat at a distance from the president, still testing positive for Covid, and presented damning new information in a meeting that would hasten the end of Biden’s political career.

In addition to presenting new concerns from lawmakers and updates on a fundraising operation that had slowed considerably, they carried the campaign’s own polls, which came back this week and showed his path to victory in November was gone. (read more)

(3) The Biden campaign was not going to have money, and, regardless of funds, the polling indicated it was a futile effort.  Trump was going to crush Biden.  This point highlights and supports points #1 and #2, the positions of Obama and Newsom.

(4) Later in the day, Frank Biden, Joe’s younger brother, indicates to CBS that Joe Bidens health is deteriorating quickly.  This is the first admission that Joe Biden’s “health” was a major consideration.  When talking about Joe, Frank’s specific phrase, “to enjoy whatever time we have left” speaks volumes.

In an interview recorded prior to the withdrawal announcement by Joe Biden, which will air on Monday, serendipitously Fox News host Jesse Watters asked President Trump about the possibility of a non-Biden candidate coming out of the DNC nomination process. WATCH:

This is almost too much fun to watch unfold.  It was always going to be thus.

President Obama releases a statement praising the decision of Joe Biden but holding back from an endorsement of Kamala Harris.  Instead, the Lightbringer wants to let the party process play out in Chicago.  [Imagine that /sarc.]

President Obama – […]  We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges. I believe that Joe Biden’s vision of a generous, prosperous, and united America that provides opportunity for everyone will be on full display at the Democratic Convention in August. And I expect that every single one of us are prepared to carry that message of hope and progress forward into November and beyond.

For now, Michelle and I just want to express our love and gratitude to Joe and Jill for leading us so ably and courageously during these perilous times — and for their commitment to the ideals of freedom and equality that this country was founded on. (more)

Team Clinton endorses Kamala.  Team Obama does not.

Team Clyburn doesn’t have a choice, she’s black.

Here we go again. Place your bets. Remember, Team Obama has home field advantage.

lol Too much fun!

Well guys, it has come to pass as anticipated.  Joe Biden has announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential campaign.

Within his announcement letter, Biden says, “I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President.”

Don’t get too caught up on the details, remember this was always going to happen.  None of us should be surprised.

Biden was always a one-term disposable President, and that was confirmed as soon as his Obama handler, Susan Rice, left the White House in 2023.

Within moments of his announcement to withdraw, Biden then endorsed Kamala Harris.

It sounds like President Trump might have a few questions also.

During an interview with Fox News host, Jesse Watters, President Trump says he had no idea there was a threat at the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally venue when he went on stage. [Tweet Embed Video]

Even though they KNEW there was a threat, no one told Trump not to take the stage.

The biggest question inside the investigation of the Trump assassination attempt, is the thing no one has mentioned.  Why have there been no daily press briefings?

♦ Where are the official 10:00am press briefing updates every day on the investigation?

♦ Where are the official press conferences from the Secret Service, FBI and law enforcement answering questions and providing information from the prior days investigative results?

♦ Where are the organized and official updates to let the American people know what has been found out about the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump?

The absence of official press briefings has been the dog that didn’t bark.

Instead, the Secret Service, FBI and Law Enforcement have been selectively leaking details, testing what would be and would not be accepted, and we have only seen controlled snippets of information.

Much of the information within those leaks has been lies, sometimes absurd in their construct, pushed through a generally incurious media.

Smart people have noted the absence of the official public information process indicates something very sketchy in the background. [ie. the dog that didn’t bark]

The attempted assassination of President Trump is a big deal; perhaps one of the biggest events in recent history. There is massive public interest.

If ordinary procedures and protocols were being followed, we would have official daily updates at scheduled press conferences, and the media would be able to present questions based on presented information.  The absence of these press briefings told us something that is not good.  But perhaps today, we find out why.

The Washington Post is now running a story saying Secret Service security requests were repeatedly denied by top government officials.

…. That’s the essential message coming from the latest developments per the framework pushed by the professionally democrat.

The Washington Post (CIA/IC) frames the battle of the selfish Biden family against the goals of an altruistic DNC corporation (Obama/Pelosi). The wounds being suffered by the magnanimous heir apparent Kamala are unfair; at least, that’s the useful presentation for those who control the left-wing of the club.

Joe Biden is essentially, at his core, the purist manifestation of a Democrat. The internecine battle underway was created by the Corporation putting one of their toxic generals in charge of the organization.

In the foreign version of the same dynamic, the same people once installed Mohamed Morsi as the President of Egypt. However, when the blood began flowing on the streets, they didn’t have to worry about it because it was over there.

In the domestic version, they want the creep they installed gone now, but he ain’t leaving. Not without a fight, or a bottomless treasury, whichever comes first. So, it’s a matter of terms; with shouts and positions ongoing.

WASHINGTON – […] The family’s anger is driven in part by a conviction that Biden could have moved beyond a bad performance in a 90-minute debate if so many Democrats had not immediately joined forces against him. They have come to view the past few weeks as a Game of Thrones-style war among various factions of the party, with the loudest calling on him to depart coming from those he has fought against in previous battles. The tone some in the party are taking in their effort to push him out has only stiffened Biden’s resolve to stay in, they say.

“It’s like they don’t know he’s Irish,” said one person close to the family.

The most striking development in this private world may be the return of Hunter Biden to a central, supporting role, just weeks after his criminal trial made him a source of personal worry and political peril.

Interestingly, Nancy Pelosi held a meeting with the California House delegation on July 10th, nine days ago, to strategize how to exit Biden without a “coronation of Kamala Harris.”  Details of the meeting are only coming out now.

Keep in mind, only through an “open convention” process can someone other than Kamala Harris take over the ticket.  Pelosi gives the appearance of calling for the democrat base to have a say in the replacement, but in actuality it’s the only way the club insiders can select a nominee that’s not Kamala Harris.

(Via Politico) – […] The discussion in that meeting of the California delegation, which includes 40 members, took place in the Capitol on July 10, at least partly focused on the complicated next steps for the Democratic Party if Biden left the ticket. And they specifically talked about the potential political downsides of party elites quickly crowning the vice president as the next nominee, according to four people familiar with the discussion, granted anonymity to discuss private conversations.

[…] The concern wasn’t about Harris’ strengths as a candidate — and in fact, several people made clear Harris needed to be the party’s next pick — but instead centered on worries that party bosses were choosing the president, rather than the party’s base.

“Nancy was leading that charge that it needed to be an open process,” according to a person briefed on the meeting, who was granted anonymity to avoid blowback from House leadership. (link)

Additionally, the list of democrats who are calling for Biden to make an exit announcement now includes members of the congressional black caucus.  This is the first crack in the only remaining Biden coalition that was standing firmly in his defense.
