Maureen Dowd, columnist for the New York Times, penned a tongue-in-cheek op-ed knocking the Democrats for all their talk about democracy after their “coup” against President Joe Biden. Published on Saturday, the column from Maureen Dowd highlights how high-level Democrat leaders, from Barack Obama to Nancy Pelosi, worked behind the scenes to push Biden into dropping out, which may generate some bad blood going into the Democratic National Convention (DNC) next week.

During an interview on the Cats Roundtable with John Catsimatidis, disgraced former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy alleged that Kamala Harris is not truly in charge of her presidential campaign. Instead, he claims that Barack Obama is pulling the strings behind the scenes to orchestrate her election bid for November. .... Snip..... McCarthy pointed out that Harris has surrounded herself with individuals who were once part of Obama’s inner circle. “If you’re watching the campaign now, some of Obama’s key advisors, including David Plouffe, are working on her campaign,” McCarthy said, adding, “You’re getting Obama shifting from running the White House...

(Aug. 7, 2024) — INTRODUCTION As long-time P&E readers know, your humble servant has for many years railed on about the “natural born Citizen” (“nbC”) issue and how it has been handled (and mishandled) by commentators, scholars and governmental agencies such as the Congressional Research Service (“CRS”). But now, in mid-2024, with the issue again presenting itself in the form of the candidacy for president of one Kamala Devi Harris, and opposed to a tedious repeat of past posts, a brief “one-stop-shopper’s” refresher course, gathering and summarizing in one post the highlights of the debate, may be helpful for those...

Gag me with an iPhone! Morning Joe opened Friday's show with a clip of Kamala Harris acting surprised as she was handed a phone, only to find it was -- what a shock! -- Barack and Michelle Obama on the line, expressing their endorsement!That was about as authentic as Kamala's laugh. You'll hear Kamala enthuse: "aww: you're both together"—as if she hadn't been entirely aware in advance that such would be the case! Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded — again — that he’s a patriot of the highest order. Sixteen years ago, when I began my search for a vice president, I knew about Joe’s remarkable career in public service. But what I came to admire even more was his character — his deep empathy and hard-earned resilience; his fundamental decency and belief that everyone counts. Since taking office, President Biden has displayed that character again and again. He helped end the pandemic,...

Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok "I'm following the advice of my commander-in-chief" - Biden Who is running our country???? From RNC Research 6:56 PM · Jul 11, 2024

Has there ever been anything this diabolical in the history of American politics? A former President trying to kill the political career of the sitting President? Of his own party! One that was his own Vice President!? And yet, that is exactly what is happening, according to Morning Joe. Joe Scarborough led it off: "The Biden campaign, and many Democratic officials do believe that Barack Obama is quietly working behind the scenes to orchestrate [the dumping of Biden.]"Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Mike McCormick, a former White House stenographer who worked with Joe Biden, claimed during an interview with Alex Jones that Biden used potential damaging information to manipulate Barack Obama. McCormick alleges that Biden threatened to expose Obama’s supposed homosexual affairs unless certain conditions were met, wielding this information as a tool for political leverage. Mike McCormick is a former White House stenographer who worked closely with Joe Biden during his tenure as Vice President. In this role, McCormick was responsible for accurately transcribing speeches, meetings, and other communications involving Biden and other governmental officials. His firsthand experience provided him with...

Friday afternoon on The Five, Bob Beckel tore into Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for an online ad he released this week that uses the IRS scandal to equate President Obama with Richard Nixon. Beckel called it “one of the cheapest ads I’ve seen” and said to McConnell, “you ought to be ashamed of yourself!” “To politicize this thing before you have the hearings,” Beckel went on, “and to go on the air with that kind ad, that’s a muckraking, disgraceful, disgusting ad, and it’s typical of a guy from the bourbon state.” To protestations from his co-hosts, Beckel said “in...

Top Democrats are so alarmed about Joe Biden's ailing health some fear a shadowy cabal is keeping him in power so they can pull levers behind the scenes, it is claimed. The astonishing theory was detailed in the liberal New York magazine. Its reporter Olivia Nuzzi revealed that even Democrat elites are stumped as to how and why the fast-declining 81 year-old is being allowed to continue his re-election bid. Nuzzi said she had heard questions being posed by high-ranking Democrats on the east and west coasts about whether Biden is a puppet whose strings are being pulled by another...

Post See new posts Conversation Dougie Kass @DougKass What I am hearing regarding Joe Biden. Ron Klain and Barack Obama are having a sit down with the President today. Jill Biden is insistent that Joe runs. Kamala is furious that she is not being considered as a replacement (Whitmer and Newsom are). Interestingly my neighbor in East Hampton is hosting the Bidens tomorrow. It will be an important tell if the fundraiser is cancelled. @dougkass @carlquintanilla @tomkeene @ferrotv @lisaabramowicz1 @jimcramer @business @SRuhle @msnbc @cnbc @andrewrsorkin 8:06 AM · Jun 28, 2024 · 5.5M Views

A California man who was arrested in Iowa with a carload of weapons and a hit list naming several high-ranking U.S. officials—including Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Anthony Fauci—was sentenced to merely two years in federal prison and fined a nominal $100. Kuachua Brillion Xiong was arrested in December 2021 after he was stopped by law enforcement in Cass County, Iowa, “for driving aggressively, weaving in and out of traffic, and speeding on Interstate 80 East.” Upon investigation, authorities discovered an AR-15 rifle, ammunition, loaded magazines, body armor, and medical kits in his vehicle. A Secret Service complaint...

All you need to know about the objectivity of retired Admiral and MSNBC analyst James Stavridis is apparent from two statements he made on today's Morning Joe regarding a video Bibi Netanyahu put out calling on the US to stop holding up arms deliveries to Israel. First, Mika Brezinski teed up Stavridis to attack Bibi, asking, "Is Benjamin Netanyahu a good partner in this?" Stavridis answered: "Clearly he's not."Then in the same breath, Stavridis added, "My good friend Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser, his head must be exploding this morning." So, Bibi's a bad partner, and Biden's security adviser's...

Who can you put next to President Joe Biden that will make him look good? We know it’s not the G7, as Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni had to wrangle the US commander-in-chief when he threatened to drift away from the group of world leaders during a parachuting demonstration. And Saturday confirmed that former president Barack Obama isn’t the answer either, after grabbing his former VP by the wrist and guiding him by his shoulders off the stage at a Los Angeles event as Biden appeared to freeze for about five seconds. Biden’s handlers have already equipped him with special...

After the fundraiser wrapped up, Obama had to grab Joe Biden’s hand to lead him off stage. Biden was frozen. Barack Obama treated Biden like a nursing home patient and walked him off stage. WATCH:

A galaxy of political and entertainment stars (of various wattage) arrived Saturday night at L.A. Live’s Peacock Theater for a gala fundraiser for President Biden’s reelection campaign. Here’s a rundown of some of those who attended the event, which is expected to raise at least $28 million: First Lady Jill Biden Former President Obama Julia Roberts George Clooney Barbra Streisand Paul Anka Kathy Griffin Jeffrey Katzenberg Bryan Lourd Richard Lovett Jimmy Kimmel Jack Black Kathryn Hahn Jason Bateman Sheryl Lee Ralph Gov.

https://danfromsquirrelhill.wordpress.com/2024/06/04/reminder/Just a reminder to everyone so no one ever forgets or pretends that it didn’t happen: Barack Obama broke the exact same law that Martha Stewart went to prison for breaking.By Daniel Alman (aka Dan from Squirrel Hill)June 4, 2024In 2009 the Obama administration gave $535 million to Solyndra, claiming that it would create 4,000 new jobs. However, instead of creating those 4,000 new jobs, the company went bankrupt. It was later revealed that the company’s shareholders and executives had made substantial donations to Obama’s campaign, that the company had spent a large sum of money on lobbying, and...

Joe and Jill Biden hosted President William Ruto and First Lady Rachel Ruto of Kenya for a State Dinner Thursday evening. Three US Presidents were together at the same dinner Thursday evening. The Clintons arrived at the White House. Barack Obama also made a surprise appearance. ..... Snip..... At one point Joe Biden said Barack Obama is a member of the African diaspora. “Jill and I are honored to have you here and we’re representing, including many members of the African diaspora. One just left — Barack,” Biden said. The attendees sat there in shock

Morning Joe had great fun today mocking Donald Trump over hosting a dinner at Mar-a-Lago last night for purchasers of his NFT trading cards, which feature Trump in a variety of heroic images. He's George Washington on the Delaware, he's Elvis Presley in a black jumpsuit with shades. But those weren't the ones they mocked. "MSNBC Republican" Elise Jordan singled out one image for particular ridicule: "The bomber jacket. Now, that is really quite a -- what did they do? Take Tom Cruise, and then just put Trump's head on it? I mean, that is actual, just complete propaganda."It apparently...

A former senior policy adviser to the Obama administration has appeared in court in Britain charged with child sex offences.
