We were ‘deceived and gaslit for years’, all in the name of ‘democracy’; then ‘poof’, it collapsed overnight

The Editor at Large for the Wall Street Journal, Gerry Baker, says: ‘We’ve been “gaslit’ and deceived” – for years – “all in the name of ‘democracy’”. That deceit “collapsed” with the Presidential debate, Thursday’.

Until the world saw the truth … [against] the ‘misinformation’ … the fiction of Mr. Biden’s competence … suggests they [the Democrats] evidently thought they could get away with promoting it. [Yet] by perpetuating that fiction they were also revealing their contempt for the voters and for democracy itself.

Baker continues:

Biden succeeded because he made toeing the party line his life’s work. Like all politicians whose egos dwarf their talents, he ascended the greasy pole by slavishly following his party wherever it led … Finally—in the ultimate act of partisan servility, he became Barack Obama’s vice president, the summit of achievement for those incapable, yet loyal: the apex position for the consummate ‘yes man’.

But then, just as he was ready to drift into a comfortable and well-deserved obscurity, his party needed a front man … They sought a loyal and reliable figurehead, a flag of convenience, under which they could sail the progressive vessel into the deepest reaches of American life — on a mission to advance statism, climate extremism, and self-lacerating wokery. There was no more loyal and convenient vehicle than Joe.

If so, then who actually has been ‘pulling America’s strings’ these past years?

‘You [the Democratic machine] don’t get to deceive, dissemble and gaslight us for years about how this man was both brilliantly competent at the job and a healing force for national unity – and now tell us, when your deception is uncovered, that it’s ‘bedtime for Bonzo’ – thanks for your service, and let’s move on’, Baker warns.

[Now] it is going horribly wrong. Much of his party has no use for him anymore … in a remarkably cynical act of bait-and-switch, [they are trying to] swap him out for someone more useful to their cause. Part of me thinks they shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it. I find myself in the odd position of wanting to root for poor mumbling Joe … It’s tempting to say to the Democratic machine frantically mobilizing against him: You don’t get to do this. You don’t get to deceive, dissemble and gaslight us for years.

Something significant has snapped within ‘the system’. It is always tempting to situate such events in ‘immediate time’, but even Baker seems to allude to a longer cycle of gaslighting and deception – one that only now has suddenly burst into open view.

Such events – though seemingly ephemeral and of the moment – can be portents to deeper structural contradictions moving.

MSNBC’s Resident Wacko Joy Reid Goes on Another Unhinged Rant Against White People, Men and Christians

MSNBC’s resident wacko and DEI hire, Joy Reid’s severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) continues to send her into a whirlpool of crazy.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Reid shared a TikTok declaring brazenly she would vote for Joe Biden even if he were in a coma, as long as it meant keeping Donald Trump, whom she referred to as “Hitler,” out of the White House.

“Y’all just tell me who the nominee is, just let me know when you guys are finished fighting amongst yourselves, who I got to vote for to keep Hitler out of the White House. Who I got to vote for to keep Hitler out of the White House,” Reid said.

Unable to keep her crazy off of social media, Reid had another recent breakdown where she went on another rant against Whites, men, and Christians.

“Let’s not be trying to play games with these kinds of small things to pull us into a direction.  All that matters in this election, and I genuinely mean this, all that matters in the election, the only thing that matters in this election, keep Donald Trump and Project 2025 out of power.”

“Keeping that insane ideology of White Christian Nationalism and White Supremacy and White male Chrisitan dominance out of power.”

So Reid suggests rejecting “White male Christian dominance” by voting for Joe Biden, a White male Christian?

Joe Rogan Calls Out the Open Border Scam: ‘They’re Literally Importing Democratic Voters’

During a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan called out Democrats for the real reason that the border is not being protected. He says that they are literally importing Democratic voters.

This is correct and many people have been saying it loudly for three years now but Democrats and the media have called it a conspiracy theory.

It is a conspiracy, but it’s not a theory, it’s real and we can all see it.

Text via RCP:

JOE ROGAN: They’re literally importing Democratic voters. They think that by allowing the border to be porous and giving people aid and housing, you’re guaranteeing that if you can rig it so those people will be allowed to vote, those people will vote Democratic. And if you say voter ID is racist. “Oh, voter ID is racist!” It all political horsesh*it.

Rachel Maddow and Her Co-Stars Made ‘Verifiably False’ Statements About a Doctor They Called the ‘Uterus Collector.’ Now His $30 Million Lawsuit Is Headed For Trial.

NBCUniversal is headed for trial after a judge ruled in favor of a Georgia doctor who MSNBC’s biggest stars accused of performing “mass hysterectomies” on women at a Trump-era immigration facility in Georgia. The judge ruled that Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace, and Chris Hayes made “verifiably false” statements about the doctor, who is suing NBC for $30 million.

The discovery process in the lawsuit, which has received little attention, has drawn back the curtain on the inner workings of MSNBC, revealing how the liberal cable network works hand in hand with NBC News, which seeks to portray itself as nonpartisan. NBCUniversal’s standards department reviewed and approved the reporting on the Georgia doctor, before it was published on NBCNews.com and then broadcast on MSNBC programs. The NBC News correspondents, Jacob Soboroff and Julia Ainsley, worked closely with a standards executive during their reporting. Soboroff is also an MSNBC correspondent.

Furthermore, Maddow—who was deposed for the lawsuit—and Hayes were personally involved in the off-camera vetting and editorial conversations around the segment to an extent that can be unusual for on-camera hosts.

Maddow is reportedly paid about $30 million a year by NBCUniversal to host her show one evening a week and work on longer-range projects. 

In her ruling last month, the judge, Lisa Godbey Wood of the Southern District of Georgia,  found that Maddow, Hayes, and Wallace made 39 “verifiably false” allegations about Mahendra Amin, a gynecologist who treated detainees at a Georgia Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility. 

A nurse at the facility had made a whistleblower complaint alleging that Amin was performing “mass hysterectomies,” many of which were medically unnecessary, and that he was known as “the uterus collector.” The nurse’s claims, which she admitted were based on hearsay, were later found to be false.

“In the end, we are left with this: NBC investigated the whistleblower letter’s accusations; that investigation did not corroborate the accusations and even undermined some; NBC republished the letter’s accusations anyway,” Wood wrote in a scathing 108-page ruling on June 26. She ordered a jury trial to determine if MSNBC engaged in “actual malice,” the standard to determine defamation.

BEYOND EMBARRASSING: John Kirby and KJP Say Joe Biden is Going to Hold a ‘Big Boy’ Press Conference This Week

John Kirby and Karine Jean-Pierre said that Joe Biden is going to hold a ‘big boy’ press conference this week. One of the criticisms of Biden is that he has not held press conferences and spoken directly to the media but big boy? Really?

It’s embarrassing to hear two Biden White House officials using this wording to describe the president of the United States.

Do they think this is going to calm anyone’s concerns about Biden?

MRCTV reports:

Biden To Hold a ‘Big Boy Press Conference,’ Per White House Staff

When we say we want the adults back in charge of the country, this isn’t what we mean.

Joe Biden will hold a “big boy press conference” later this week, according to senior White House officials who touted the 82-year-old addled president’s hefty schedule as some sort of proof he’s capable of doing the job for another four years. And yes, they really used the words “big boy” to describe the event.

Proof that apparently includes holding an actual press conference complete with questions and everything! As opposed to, you know, the toddler ones he’s more used to holding, where he reads from a teleprompter, can’t find the ends of his sentences, and his wife has to shuffle him offstage when it’s done.

“This week, President Biden will speak to national labor leaders of AFLCIO, host the NATO summit to show the unprecedented strength of our alliance, hold a press conference – a ‘big boy press conference,’ according to Justin Sink from Bloomberg,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during Monday’s press briefing with reporters.

Chaos Erupts During White House Press Briefing Over Biden-Parkinson’s Questions

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre got into a heated exchange with multiple reporters, where she declined to answer why a Parkinson’s specialist had been to the White House at least nine times in the past year.

Jean-Pierre admitted that Biden had seen a neurologist three times during his presidency as part of his annual physical, but then began to demur when asked for specifics about the visitor logs.

“Ed, I also said to you for security reasons, we cannot share names. We cannot share names,” she told CBS News senior White House correspondent Ed O’Keefe, who said she should be able to answer questions regarding Biden’s health.

“You cannot share names of others he would’ve met with, but you can share names in regards if someone came here in regards to the president,” O’Keefe shot back.

“We cannot share names of specialists broadly. From a dermatologist to a neurologist. We cannot share names,” she replied. “There are security reasons—Ed, I hear you. I cannot from here confirm any of that because we have to keep their privacy. I think they would appreciate that too.”

Bizarre: Reporters Kicked Out of Biden Coffee Shop Campaign Stop, Forced to Film Biden Through Shop Window

Reporters were kicked out of a Biden campaign stop in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Sunday where they were forced to film Biden through the storefront window of a coffees shop while Biden spoke–not with voters–but with fellow elected Democrat officials Governor Josh Shapiro and Harrisburg Mayor Wanda Williams. Unlike President Trump when he makes similar appearances, Biden was not mobbed by supporters at Denim Coffee (which may explain why the press was kicked out.)

After reporters witnessed Biden, accompanied by Nurse Jill, and Shapiro ordering at the counter inside and making small talk with the help, a staffer got up in the grill of a C-SPAN reporter filming the event as she ordered the press outside.

ABC News Pundits React in Horror to Biden Interview With Stephanopoulos: ‘Aging is Not Like a Broken Bone – It Doesn’t Get Better’

Joe Biden did his much talked about interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC News tonight and it was a worst case scenario for Democrats.

While Biden did not make any flubs that would force him out of the race, he still came across as old, feeble and out of touch with the reality of the election, meaning that he is just as weak a candidate as he was yesterday and he is not dropping out. Democrats are stuck with him.

After the interview was over, Stephanopoulos went to his fellow ABC News pundits for comment.

The looks on their faces said it all. Look at this. They look like they’re at a funeral.

AP Slammed Over Bizarre Report Calling Biden ‘Sharp and Focused’ But Also ‘Confused and Forgetful’

The Associated Press (AP) faced intense criticism after publishing a Wednesday report stating that 81-year-old Joe Biden is “often sharp and focused” but also “confused and forgetful.” 

This report followed Biden’s disastrous debate performance last week against Donald Trump.

Five AP reporters contributed to the article titled, “Biden at 81: Often sharp and focused but sometimes confused and forgetful,” which drew significant backlash online. 

The article title itself ignited reactions from many users. “It’s real,” the Post Millenial’s Libby Emmons wrote on X, accompanied with a screenshot of the report.
