With Biden Out and Trump Brought to Heel, the Swamp Wins Again

Well, that didn’t take long.

Ten days ago, President Biden was adamant he would be the Democratic Party’s nominee for president and defeat “threat to democracy” Donald Trump. Trump was still promising to “drain the Swamp” in Washington, D.C., expurgating DEI and critical race theory from federal agencies, deporting illegal aliens who entered the country in record numbers during Biden’s administration, and end the Swamp’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine.

As of this morning, Biden is out of th...

The Secret Service’s Failure-to-Protect Is Being Blamed on “an Operational Failure”

Update: Here is Rep. Jim Jordan giving Cheatle hell. As you can see, the Republicans are not even in the ball park. The issue as framed by Republicans and media is: did the Secret Service provide enough resources to protect Trump. This is not the issue. The media will treat Jordan as a Republican male picking on a woman.

Rep. Jordan should be asking: “Did the Secret Service collect the fired bullets?” “All of them?” “Are they all from the same rifle?” “What is the explanation for the acoustic e...

Succession by Defenestration: How Biden’s Withdrawal May Trigger a 25th Amendment Fight

Below is my column in the Hill on the withdrawal of President Joe Biden from the 2024 election. After weeks of Democrats and the media raising the alarm of his mental capacity, Biden finally gave up his public refusal to step aside. Harris will now be the nominee through succession by defenestration, or being tossed from a window. Yet, there remains a lingering question of Biden’s capacity to serve for another six months as president.

Here is the column:

MAGA Goes Full WWE, Biden Withdraws

I’ve been doing a lot of talking about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. The fact that most of those I’ve discussed this with are dubious that there was a legitimate assassination attempt ought to tell you something. Those of us who are awake know we’ve been lied to about everything. Why believe this?

I tried to watch a bit of the Republican convention last week. Don’t ask me why. Maybe I wanted to see just how big Amber Rose’s butt was. Incidentally, why was Amber Rose a speaker? Ap...

What Director Cheatle’s Testimony Reveals

Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle sat before the country to tell the Congress what she knows. While she didn’t share any information Americans don’t already have access to, her July 22nd testimony to the House Oversight Committee was still informative.

She was sworn in, and she perjured herself. Her statement stands in contradiction to her answers to questions. She promised to be transparent. She was not.

She could not answer the first question, whether or not there was a Secret Service agent ...

Now Comes the Great Cackle That Saved America

Hurrah, they finally took away Grandpa Joe’s keys. Fortunately, the political upheaval that is sure to follow is no joke. Actually, it begs to turn out more like the Great Cackle that saved America.

What we mean is that the collective Dem Hive on the banks of the Potomac not only defenestrated “Joe Biden” from a second floor White House window, and did so unceremoniously and without regard for his frail infirmities, but it also effectively knee-capped the credibility of the whole Democrat Party ...

U.S. Government Is Set To Win Back Control Over Venezuela on July 28th.

The polls in Venezuela have so consistently shown that by more than a 3 to 1 margin, Venezuelans will vote for the pro-U.S.-Government candidate Edmundo González Urrutia in preference over the pro-independence candidate Nicolás Maduro, so that the likelihood of the U.S. Government’s failing to win back control over Venezuela on July 28th is virtually 0%.

“Chavismo” (named after Venezuela’s former President Hugo Chavez) which Maduro represents, and which had been Venezuela’s Marxist (communist) i...

Exposing the Great Osteoporosis Scam

The years I have spent studying the medical industry have made me appreciate how often economic principles can allow one to understand its complex and contradictory behavior.

For example, I believe many of the inconsistencies in medical ethics (e.g., “mothers have an absolute right to abort their children” and “mothers cannot refuse to vaccinate their children because it endangers their child’s life”) can be explained by simply acknowledging that whatever makes money is deemed “ethical.”

Sales F...

Character Assassination

Gee whiz, how soon they forget, and how the headlines change quicker than a pole dancer’s favors from a sucker tossing twenty-dollar bills to the one with the C-notes. I am referring to last week’s captions about Biden’s mumbling and rambling, the creepy whispering, the misnomers and forgetfulness, the whole hullabaloo that had nothing to do with Biden being unable to perform his duties, but whether he was able to beat the enemy of mankind, Donald J. Trump.

It all changed quicker than you can sa...

Genocide Monster Drops Out, Endorses Fellow Genocide Monster

President Biden has caved to mounting pressure to drop out of the presidential race due to widespread concerns about his obvious neurological decline, bowing out and endorsing his exact ideological clone Kamala Harris. Apparently the consensus is that he’s too demented to run for president, but is not too demented to actually be president for the next six months.

And hell, whatever man. This means nothing and changes nothing, other than perhaps arguably somewhat diminishing the likelihood of a R...
