Democrats Throw Biden Under the Bus

The most widely discussed topic among Democrat insiders is neither the Republican convention nor the attempted assassination. It’s Biden’s collapse into senility and physical infirmity and the conflicting Democrat attempts to cover up the reality of Biden’s health that ultimately pushed him aside in favor of Kamala Harris.

Let’s be blunt about Biden’s mental and physical health. Biden is in the late stages of cognitive decline. He refuses to take any cognitive tests (or if he has, to release the results) and to receive a proper diagnosis. Jill Biden is more of an Acting President than a caring spouse and she’s lousy at both jobs.

A number of competent physicians have said that, in their view, Biden has advanced Parkinson’s disease as evidenced by immobility in his right arm and shaking in his left hand in addition to the mental lapses. Biden’s recent public appearances are either totally scripted right down to flash cards with reporter’s names and pre-arranged questions and answers, read from a teleprompter or pre-recorded (and who knows how many flubs were left on the cutting-room floor).

It’s all a facade. Last week, Biden gave an Oval Office speech in reaction to the Trump shooting and referred to the last president as “former Trump” and made repeated references to the “battle box” instead of the ballot box. Biden topped this off by almost saying “Make America great again” before catching himself in mid-sentence and pivoting away from the MAGA Republican mantra.

It was a pathetic performance in tightly controlled circumstances. Biden is beyond functioning capably in the real world of politics, foreign crises and ongoing wars, let alone a political campaign.

Who’s really in charge at the White House? It depends on the issue. When it comes to high level policy, it’s the Obama team including holdovers like Antony Blinken and Jake Sullivan and Obama flunkies on the sidelines like Susan Rice and Victoria Nuland. When it comes to technical matters that are part of the progressive agenda, the Deep State swamp creatures in the bureaucracy are in charge.

But the inner circle surrounding Biden are powerful in their own right. The members of this inner circle are “Taco Jill” Biden, convicted felon Hunter Biden, Joe’s sister Valerie Biden Owens, and a few close aides including Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti, Bruce Reed, Anthony Bernal, and Annie Tomasini.

Donilon is the brother of Obama’s National Security Advisor Tom Donilon. Bruce Reed is an old hand from the Clinton administration. Bernal and Tomasini are close aides to Jill Biden and are practically an extension of the Biden Crime Family. Ricchetti is a lawyer and one of Joe Biden’s longest serving aides.

That Gang of Eight are the only people with regular access to Joe Biden. They are the ones issuing the propaganda that says everything is fine with Biden. Even regular White House staff such as Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, former Chief of Staff Ron Klain, advisor Anita Dunn, and Biden’s lawyer Bob Bauer cannot get close to Biden anymore given the encasement established by the Gang of Eight.

The posture of the Gang of Eight can well be likened to a coup d’état in America. It’s not violent but it is real.

The question now is, if Biden is not competent enough to run for reelection, is he competent enough to continue serving as president? We will see what Republicans do as this question will be a focal point in the coming weeks.

What happens now in the process?  The next key date is August 1^st. That’s the day the Democrats plan to conduct their “digital roll call vote” in an effort to hand Kamala the nomination as quickly as possible. This means the August 19 Democratic convention in Chicago will be just for show. One could make the case that the entire Democratic nominating process since 2023 has been just for show.
