Joe Biden’s Decoy Presidential Candidacy

Biden is operating as a stand-in, a widget, or a MacGuffin, whose primary purpose is to make it to November 5 of this year without expiring.

In life, as in science, it can be useful to extrapolate, and here, in the summer of 2024, it comes time to do just that. It is by now near-universally acknowledged that Joe Biden is too old to perform his duties. It is less universally acknowledged that this has serious implications — the chief among which is that, for all the rococo pageantry that attends his reelection campaign, Joe Biden is not, in fact, running to be president of the United States.

Media Pretend A Gun-Toting Addict’s Conviction Legitimizes Legal Gymnastics Of ‘Get Trump’ Lawfare

Left-wing talking heads spent Tuesday morning gloating that the justice system is working just fine after President Joe Biden’s son was convicted on three felony charges. But it’s only because they desperately want to convince the American public that convicting Hunter for the least damning allegations he could be charged with justifies their use of lawfare against former President Donald Trump.

Hunter was found guilty for lying on application paperwork while addicted to drugs to obtain a firearm and unlawfully possessing said firearm.

Why greens were the biggest losers in the EU elections

The EU’s punishing climate policies are facing an almighty public backlash.

In 2019, Green parties achieved their best ever European Parliament election results. They even topped the polls in some member states, including Germany. Europe’s cultural and political elites could barely conceal their delight at the time, viewing the rising support for the Greens as an endorsement of their own managerialist mission to tackle the so-called climate emergency. The EU’s technocrats seized their chance. Within months of this alleged ‘green wave’, Brussels pushed through its Green Deal, which committed all member states to Net Zero, or carbon neutrality, by 2050. European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen hailed the Green Deal at the time as ‘Europe’s man-on-the-moon moment’.
