Actor George Clooney was a key participant in the coup to push Joe Biden out of the 2024 election. Radar Online reports that Clooney is now said to have expressed outrage at “being manipulated by former President Barack Obama into lobbying for Kamala Harris.” Following Biden’s disastrous June debate performance, Clooney kicked off the calls to put old Joe out to pasture with a column for the New York Times demanding that he step aside. He wrote for The Times, “We are not going to win in November with this president.”

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton released audio of her recounting a conversation she had with her husband, Bill Clinton, when she decided to support Vice President Kamala Harris as her party's nominee. "After I got off the phone with the vice president, I looked at Bill with a huge smile and said, ‘This is exciting!' (snip) Clinton, the Democratic Party's nominee in 2016, endorsed Harris for president after initially supporting President Biden. She has also called on Harris to break the "glass ceiling" and become the country's first female president, according to BBC. "I felt promise, I felt possibility....

The exact circumstances that led to President Joe Biden's dramatic withdrawal from the 2024 election race have been the topic of frenzied conversation for weeks. Ever since Biden tweeted his digitally signed letter announcing the decision on Sunday, June 21, the line from the White House has been clear: The president was not pushed. This was his choice alone. Sympathetic insiders described a weekend of 'reflection' for the president – who had recently tested postive for COVID and was holed up in isolation with his wife Jill and a handful of trusted aides at the Biden family home in Rehoboth...

We head to Chicago on a wave of euphoria, exuberance, exultation, excitement and even, you might say, ecstasy. It’s going to be a glorious coronation — except that everyone’s mad at one another. Top Democrats are bristling with resentments even as they are about to try to put on a united front at the United Center in the Windy City. A coterie of powerful Democrats maneuvered behind the scenes to push an incumbent president out of the race. It wasn’t exactly “Julius Caesar” in Rehoboth Beach. But it was a tectonic shift and, of course, there were going to be...

Excerpts below. At the linked article, video clip segments of Coons, Van Jones, and Maddow are available.Delaware Democratic Senator Chris Coons became teary-eyed during a tribute to President Joe Biden following his announcement he would not run for re-election in November.There have been mixed reactions to Biden’s stepping down, but this particular display of praise for a man who has brought America to the brink of destruction is one of the more bizarre.Biden ally Coons became emotional while gushing over Biden, even pausing to gather composure as he fought back the tears.“Joe Biden is grounded. He’s grounded in his faith,...

He's got big issues. A very deep bruise on his lower left jaw (screen right) which changes his speech pattern, creating even more slurring. He has a bruise over his left eye, directly on the socket where the eyelid folds. And he has lower tooth pain, likely also taking numbing meds, that's why he looks like he just had a root canal. Something happened.

This type of coup was supposed to have been rendered impossible back when our grandfathers were in middle age. Now we know better.The following was republished with permission from Armas. The coup d’état against President Biden illuminates the themes exposited in the essay on Sen. J.D. Vance’s thought and rhetoric, to which I refer the reader. Coup terminology in this case is not overwrought: a sitting president of the United States has had his political future terminated, which means his political present is ended as well. Absent potential there is no power, and therefore no purpose. The logical corollary to...

Where is Joe Biden?It’s the question Americans are asking after it was announced Sunday via a letter posted by Biden’s X account that the president will not be seeking reelection this fall. While the communique noted that Biden will “speak to the Nation later this week in more detail” about the decision, Americans have not personally heard from their president about his abrupt exit from the 2024 race. A “week ahead guidance” released by the White House on Monday showed Biden had no public events scheduled for that day and noted that “[a]dditional details” about his schedule for the rest...

WASHINGTON — “I need you and Mike at the house,” President Joe Biden said late Saturday afternoon. Biden was on the phone from his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, with Steve Ricchetti, a counselor to the president and one of his closest advisers. He was referring to Mike Donilon, his chief strategist and longtime speechwriter. Soon, both men were in Rehoboth Beach, socially distanced from the president, who was recovering from COVID. From that afternoon and far into the night, the three worked on one of the most important and historic letters of Biden’s presidency — the announcement of...

On Sunday Joe Biden bowed to the inevitable in withdrawing from the presidential race and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. Only now has the presidential race become interesting as the fifty-nine-year-old Harris, more than likely to receive the Democratic nomination, prepares to face off against Donald Trump. Suddenly the Republican candidate has become the old codger in the race while the Democratic one represents generational change. Trump, you could even say, has become yesterday’s news. https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1815087772216303933"My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder...

Many Republicans were hoping that former President Donald Trump would face President Biden in November because there were obvious signs, such as polling in swing states and big donors fleeing from the Democrat party, that Trump would become the 47th President of the United States if Biden became the party's nominee.That changed Sunday when Biden announced on X that he would end his reelection bid but finish his term as president. He added that he endorses Harris as the Democrat nominee. Several other prominent Democrats have advocated for Kamala to be the nominee, and assuming she will be, here are...

No "Stopping the Steal" with Democrat power-brokers. In 2020 they decided that a dead husk of a moth-eaten sock puppet served their purposes, and in rapid succession forced out Bernie, Fauxcahontas, the gay guy, the sensible-shoes gal and the rest of the gang, and forced the dead husk in. Four years later they have decided the husk is a little too dead, and so... So Biden gets served the Ultimate Anyway, and we are now supposed to get excited about which white-male governors in the Democrat Party are willing to challenge the first female... first black... first "Asian-American"... first Montreal...

Joe hasn’t been seen in days. Not his signature on the resignation letter. Where is POTUS? Might he reappear and say he’s still in the race?

We are not even 24 hours into Biden's resignation from the United States presidential race and we already have a very suspicious developments. In this case, the signature of that letter, He uploaded to Twitter. And we can't possibly know if it was indeed him who uploaded that letter to Twitter. According to what we know, Biden told his team up until the night before that he was staying in the race. The very morning of July 21st, a Sunday, Biden's team still had the firm belief. That he was staying in the race. That's what Biden had been saying...

What a disgraceful end to a disgraceful presidency. Rather than exit this presidential race with dignity, rather than show long-suffering Americans the respect we deserve, President Joe Biden hastily declared he's out — on social media. Joe Biden's ghosted us!...Biden has humiliated himself, the nation, the Democratic elites, megadonors and liberal-media enablers who spent years covering for him. And he didn't even initially endorse his Vice President! Someone had to clean up Aisle 9 on X with a hasty follow-up Kamala endorsement tweet.... Why didn't Biden, like LBJ before him, announce his monumental decision to stand down during a primetime...

Report: White House Aides Found Out On Twitter (X) About Biden’s Withdrawal From Presidential Race.. I wonder when Biden will find out?
