Barack Obama is busy behind the scenes laying the groundwork to thrust his wife Michelle Obama into the presidential race in place of the ailing and failing Joe Biden, according to multiple Democrat party insiders…

The latest stories are that Joe Biden has been given only a few more days to prove he should be the Democrat nominee for president after his disastrous debate performance. If he leaves the race, the thinking is that the only person who could swoop in at this late stage and defeat Donald Trump in November is Michelle Obama, not Kamala Harris. The speculation is not without merit according to a new poll. Kamala Harris is a better-known quantity. She's held political office. She's one of the least respected and worst vice presidents America has ever seen. After slipping into...

That's right, I said it, and I've been saying it for a while. Look, I know we all have our opinions on this, but here are some facts: 1. Trump CANNOT be allowed to win in '24. Considering that the anti-American leftist marxist democrats have opened the door to indicting their political foes, it's probably even more important that Trump loses than in 2020. 2. The 2020 election was NOT the "most secure election ever". The tactics used by the left in 2020 only worked because it was seemingly plausible, to the general voting public, that Trump would lose, what...

Big Mike and HDK have Achilles heels...

Former first lady Michelle Obama would beat former President Donald Trump in a hypothetical 2024 matchup, according to a new poll. The wife of former President Barack Obama is among the names being touted as a possible replacement for President Joe Biden, who is facing pressure to step down as the Democratic Party's nominee for president following a disastrous debate performance last week. Biden's poor performance sparked panic among Democrats and led many to question whether the 81-year-old is the strongest candidate to take on Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, in November. Biden has vowed to remain in the race,...

It's unlikely that Michelle Obama will replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee for the presidential election, according to experts. Biden, the incumbent president, has been hit with criticism and calls for him to end his reelection bid following a poor performance in the first 2024 presidential debate in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday.

As the desperate search for a Biden replacement continues amongst Dem insiders and anxious liberals, one possible replacement shines through the dark. In a recent Reuters/Ispos poll which surveyed 1,070 U.S. adults across the country, found that in a match-up between former first lady Michelle Obama and President Trump, Obama would win in a 50-39 margin against the former president. Obama, who has previously said she will not run for president, beat out all other Biden alternatives offered in the poll

One name being bandied about to replace Joe Biden is Michelle Obama; the speculation here, on both the left and right, is making me wonder, what qualifies this presumably front-hole person to be POTUS? I mean, should she not, at the very least, have been elected dog-catcher first? How about managing a Chick-fil-A, a lemonade stand? I think, however, that the very idea the Democratic Party (or mouthpieces of) will contemplate or even talk about this possibility tells us a lot about what they think of the office. Clearly, to them, no experience is necessary; NONE, at all. So, why...

In the wake of Joe Biden's debate implosion, there's a lot of panic going on in the Democratic Party. CNN's John King encapsulated it on Thursday night: "Very aggressive panic," he termed it. In the immediate wake of the debate, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) spoke with Ben Ferguson on their podcast, "The Verdict," about the debacle. As Rebecca Downs at our sister site Townhall reported: Cruz agreed with King that "Joe Biden did unbelievably badly, that the degree of dementia he is facing right now, it has escalated to a point that it is unrecognizable," adding "I think there are...

Michelle Obama Odds Surge to Replace Joe Biden After Debate. - Story by Nick Mordowanec After President Joe Biden's performance during Thursday's debate against former President Donald Trump, Democrats like Michelle Obama are gaining popularity as potential replacements as the party's nominee less than two months before its convention....Gaming platform BetOnline.ag was adjusting 2024 election odds in real time on Thursday evening, noting that Trump started as a -150 favorite and improved his odds to -175 by the end of the night. Meanwhile, Biden's odds fell from +130 to +300 (or 3/1). As viewers watched the debate, the odds for...

Former first lady Michelle Obama is reluctant to publicly campaign for President Biden’s re-election because, in part, of how the family treated Kathleen Buhle, her close friend, in the wake of her divorce from Hunter Biden, a new report claims. The wife of former President Barack Obama has largely steered clear of the 2024 campaign trail after expressing frustration in private over Buhle’s apparent exile from the Biden family years earlier, Axios reported, citing two sources familiar with the relationship. Michelle’s disdain for partisan politics is also partly to blame for her absence so far this election cycle, the sources...

I suggest you start preparing for a great deal of left-wing civic violence, supply disruptions (including food shortages) and widespread urban chaos. I say this because it is my sense that the Democrats, deep state, and their media enablers are all in rough shape and have no other way out but to fall back on their usual criminal methods of retaining power. I find it impossible to believe that President Biden will be the Democratic nominee, and if he is, that he can win. What do the Democrats do? They certainly can’t substitute Kamala Harris for Biden; she’s tanked in...

Marian Robinson, the mother of former first lady Michelle Obama, has died, according to a statement from the Obama and Robinson families. She was 86. […] Robinson lived with the Obamas during their time at the White House and was often spotted at events with the first family, including handing out goodie bags to trick-or-treaters on Halloween. […] A native of Chicago — where she returned after the Obamas left the White House — Robinson was married to Fraser Robinson, and the pair had two children, Michelle and Craig. Fraser Robinson died in 1991 after a long struggle with multiple...

Democratic strategist James Carville said there is apprehension in the party and that people should not disregard the possibility that President Joe Biden will not be a presidential candidate by the election.Former President Donald Trump is beating Biden in the five critical swing states of Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to a May New York Times/Siena College survey. Carville said on the “Politics War Room” podcast that there is a chance Biden will not be the Democrats’ nominee in response to a question about whether the president should exit the race if he does poorly in his upcoming...

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced a holiday called “Menstrual Hygiene Day,” a day that is aimed at creating a period-friendly world for “menstruators.” In a post on X, the DOL shared a link to a blog post about Menstrual Hygiene Day and five ways that employers can make their workplaces “menstruation friendly” for “menstruators.” “To commemorate this Menstrual Hygiene Day, the Women’s Bureau is breaking down the stereotypes and stigmas that have made menstruation a taboo topic in the workplace,” the DOL’s blog post read. “Menstruation is a natural part of half our population’s life, and yet it...

On his radio show a few days ago, Wayne Root stated that the real reason Chicago was selected for the Democratic convention was because it’s the hometown of Michelle Obama, and at the convention they are going to trot out Michelle and Select her as the nominee, after they convince Biden that he must drop out.

“On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives,” Biden wrote in the declaration.

A backlash looms for President Biden on Super Tuesday, when at least half of the states participating in presidential contests have an “uncommitted” line on their ballot – potentially allowing this week’s far-left voter revolt in Michigan to snowball, experts told The Post. Activists who launched the successful Michigan campaign have their sights on a slew of Super Tuesday primaries next week, including Massachusetts, Minnesota, Colorado, North Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Maine and Alabama — all of which have “uncommitted” or write-in slots on their Dem primary ballots. “Biden is not going to duplicate his 2020 coalition,” said veteran Dem strategist...

Special counsel Robert Hur did a great service to America last week in two ways that fundamentally and irreversibly transform the Presidential race. As a result, just like in Hillary Clinton’s ‘3 a.m. phone call’ television ad in the 2008 contest, the iPhone is buzzing in Barack Obama’s Martha’s Vineyard compound, and he had better answer it.Number one, by declining to charge President Biden for “willfully retain[ing]” classified materials, Hur blew up any pretense of fairness when it comes to how Biden’s Department of Justice treats its own boss, while it throws the book at President Trump.Not only did Hur...

Democrats should be hitting the panic button. Despite countless witch hunts and politically charged attacks, they throw at former President Trump, nothing is stopping him from crawling his way to the top. According to a new Emerson College poll, Trump holds a significant lead over Vice Kamala Harris and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) in a hypothetical matchup. In a race between Trump and Harris, the Republican has 46 percent support, while Harris only has 43 percent. Eleven percent are undecided. On the other hand, Newsom performed worse than Harris, with only 36 percent of respondents saying they would vote for...
