Biden's mental fitness: Growing concerns among Biden's staff and Democratic insiders about his ability to stay awake during meetings and make obvious points, raising questions about his mental fitness to serve as President, and increasing calls for him to step down or be replaced
According to a lengthy report in the Wall Street Journal, there are growing concerns among Biden's own staff and Democratic insiders about his mental fitness to serve as President. The article, which is unusually long for the Journal, details multiple instances where Biden struggled to stay awake during meetings and had to read from notes to make obvious points. Despite this, Biden is expected to run for re-election, but there are increasing calls for him to step down or be replaced. The article was first reported by Time Magazine and has now been picked up by the Journal, indicating that this is a widely held belief among the political establishment. The implications of this are significant, as Biden's mental health could impact his ability to make critical decisions on national security and foreign policy matters. Additionally, Biden's age and health have been topics of discussion for some time, and this report could fuel speculation about who might be a viable alternative for the Democratic Party in the upcoming elections.
Democratic Party's dilemma: The Democratic Party faces backlash if they replace VP Harris, Biden is in a bind between far-left base and most voters, and Biden's border crisis executive order is a scam to pave way for amnesty
During a recent discussion on Rumble, it was suggested that the Democratic Party would face significant backlash if they were to replace Vice President Kamala Harris, the first female black vice president, with another candidate. The reason being, they would be accused of being racist. Biden, who had previously stated he would appoint competent individuals to replace him, is in a bind as his far-left base wants an open border for political power, while most voters do not. To keep both bases happy and stay in the race, Biden is believed to be faking action on the border crisis with an executive order that is essentially a scam. The ultimate goal is to pave the way for amnesty, which the Democrats have always wanted for demographic and political power reasons.
Biden's amnesty promise: Biden's executive order on immigration masks amnesty for illegals as 'pathway to citizenship', while allowing certain groups to bypass the order, and fails to address the root cause of illegal immigration, frustrating American and legal immigrants.
President Biden is using coded language to promise amnesty to illegal immigrants while pretending to secure the border. He's disguising it as a "pathway to citizenship" and allowing certain groups, like unaccompanied children and those entering legally, to bypass the order. The order does little to address the ongoing issue of illegal immigration, which continues at high numbers through various means. This executive order is seen as a middle finger to American citizens and legal immigrants, and it's crucial for concerned individuals to spread awareness and hold Biden accountable for his actions.
Border Security Policies Dispute: Former officials argue that current border security policies are unsustainable and pose a massive security threat due to lack of effective vetting and overwhelming system capacity.
There is a significant disagreement between political figures regarding border security policies and their impact on illegal immigration. Former Trump administration officials have criticized the current administration for reversing previous policies and resulting in a surge in border crossings. They argue that the situation is a crisis, and the current policies are not effective. For instance, Jay Johnson, former DHS secretary under Obama, stated that a thousand apprehensions a day overwhelmed the system, and Biden's plan to let in 25,000 people a day is unsustainable. Additionally, Derek Farland, currently the Attorney General, admitted under oath that there is a terror problem at the border, yet the administration continues to bring in large numbers of immigrants with limited vetting. The speakers argue that the liberal approach to border security is leading to a massive security threat and overwhelming the system.
Border security, Biden's handling: Political figures and commentators raise concerns over border security and Biden's ambiguous border policies, with some alleging inappropriate behavior. The FBI's testimony on national security threats isn't clear enough, and the media may increase scrutiny.
There is a consensus among some political figures and commentators that there are significant issues with border security and the behavior of President Joe Biden, particularly regarding his handling of border policies and allegations of inappropriate behavior. The FBI director's testimony about the national security threat posed by people crossing the border from known terrorist organizations has been criticized for not being clear enough, and Biden's actions and comments have been described as confusing and concerning. Some believe that the media is starting to recognize these issues and may put more pressure on the administration to address them. Additionally, there are ongoing discussions about the future of the Democratic Party and potential changes in leadership. MyPillow and Omaha Steaks are offering discounts for customers.
Mexico call controversy: Despite criticism and speculation, the president continues to work on American issues, including a call to the Mexican president, while investigations continue into potential election interference and the handling of the Hunter Biden laptop story.
During a recent press briefing, the president's schedule consisted mainly of making a phone call to the newly elected Mexican president. While the content of the call was not disclosed, there have been speculations about a language barrier and the need for an interpreter. Some commentators have criticized the call and suggested that the president may have been speaking softly or even falling asleep during the conversation. However, the White House Press Secretary emphasized that the president continues to work on behalf of the American people. Additionally, there have been calls for investigations into potential government interference in the 2020 election, specifically regarding the handling of the Hunter Biden laptop story. Some believe that government assets were involved in suppressing information about the laptop before the election, and they want those responsible to be held accountable. Overall, there are ongoing debates and conspiracy theories surrounding the actions of government officials and the validity of election results.
Political Duty vs Desire for Power: Mark Robinson, a potential governor candidate, emphasizes the importance of viewing politics as a duty rather than a means for personal gain or power. The speaker is disillusioned with the current political climate and believes that a strong core group of dedicated individuals can bring about change.
We need more people in politics who view their role as a duty rather than a desire for power or personal gain. Mark Robinson, a potential governor candidate from North Carolina, encapsulates this attitude, comparing elected officials to a young soldier heading to war. The speaker is tired of the superficial and dishonest individuals in politics and believes that a strong core group of dedicated individuals, like Trump, Don Jr., and Robinson, can turn the political landscape around. The current political climate was highlighted by Merrick Garland's evasive answers during a hearing on Capitol Hill, and the speaker expressed frustration with the left's unwillingness to acknowledge the issues at hand.
DOJ impartiality: Republican reps accuse DOJ of questionable tactics and potential conflicts of interest in Trump case, raising concerns about impartiality due to sudden move of ex-DOJ official to NY DA's office and AG Garland's response.
During a recent hearing, Republican representatives accused the Department of Justice (DOJ) of questionable tactics and potential conflicts of interest. Specifically, they pointed to the case against Donald Trump in New York and the involvement of a former high-ranking DOJ official, Matthew Colangelo. Critics argue that Colangelo's sudden move from the DOJ to Alvin Bragg's office to work on the Trump case is suspicious, and Garland, the current Attorney General, appeared to downplay his knowledge of the situation. The lack of transparency and potential career maneuverings raise concerns about the impartiality of the legal process. It's important to note that these allegations are serious and require further investigation to determine their validity.
Campaign obligations vs personal use: Payments for campaign obligations that have a dual purpose are allowed, but payments made too close to an election for the purpose of hiding the expenditure are illegal.
If a campaign obligation existed independently of the campaign, paying for it with campaign funds would be considered personal use and is therefore illegal. However, if an expenditure had a dual purpose, it may not be a campaign violation. In the case of the payment to Stormy Daniels, it was made too close to the election to have influenced the outcome, and the report of the payment would not have been required until after the election. Therefore, the argument that Trump wanted to hide the expenditure until after the election holds no water. Despite the potential for debate, Bongino expressed skepticism due to what he perceived as misinformation and misunderstanding of the situation. He encouraged his audience to download the Rumble app, follow the show on Apple and Spotify, and tune in for further discussion.
