Gaming the election

Biden — will his continual mental and physical decline, which is accelerating exponentially? His work week is now more off than on. He seems to speak a language that is mostly indecipherable. Steps pose an existential threat, given that the president is one trip away from oblivion. Biden is not even the diminished Biden of 2020, when, in his basement, he at least manipulated the COVID-19 lockdown to mask his infirmities and abbreviated schedules. The odds are 50/50 whether Biden will even make it over the next several months to the August Democratic Convention.

Is the family’s corruption going to keep raising its head before the election? Hunter’s continued exposures, their family tax problems, questionable bank statements, the emails, the use of the family name to influence foreign countries access to Joe, the funds that seem to appear from China, favors to donors, their fast and loose of the legal and ethical constraints or turned witnesses will offer proof of Biden’s criminality. Will these lead to proof of the Biden family’s criminality? The lack of prosecutors not prosecuting? Trials only in Democratic controlled districts and judges from the same party — strange how that seems to be just the way the chips fall, especially if you control the chips!

Look at the success of his policies — the wide-open borders, crime rates, inflation, energy back-up supplies, gas prices, foreign policies, the reserves of oil, race relations, DEI, AI, school test scores at their lows, massive spending programs, the lawlessness in our streets since 2021, humiliation abroad, from Kabul to Kyiv to the Chinese balloon, fueled the national debt (an additional $1 trillion every 100 days). Now Biden is warring on the Supreme Court — a dangerous precedent given that an assassin has already shown up at Justice Kavanaugh’s home.

Biden, however, enjoys some natural advantages, most notably incumbency.

And then there was the mysterious CIA/FBI arming of the Biden campaign, on the eve of the last debate and just days before Election Day, with the fake anti-Trump rebuttal of “Russian laptop disinformation.” Biden will pull every lever of incumbency, working the office of the presidency in the most Machiavellian and cynical of ways:

1. Hoping to lower gas prices by not filling up the strategic petroleum reserve, jawboning illiberal and “pariah” oil producers to pump what he claims he hates, ordering Ukraine not to hit Russian refineries and appeasing enemies like Iran to keep its oil flowing,

2. Unconstitutionally sidestepping rulings of the Supreme Court to ensure more pre-election illegal student-loan-cancellation giveaways.

3. Prodding the supposedly independent Federal Reserve to lower interest rates before November.

4. Pressuring Mexico to tamp down illegal entries for a few months to serve their shared interests in defeating Trump.

A second asset is his army of satellites.

These include left-wing justices, weaponized federal, state, and local prosecutors and Trump-biased jury pools. The effort to remove Trump’s name from the ballot did not destroy the Republican candidate. The Lilliputian ropes of Fani Willis, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Jack Smith, who are eager to convict him through weaponized judges, juries and a venomous media. They also include compromised election officials in urban counties in key swing states.

Biden cannot win unless 70-80% of voters in the key swing states do not vote on Election Day. Instead, their ballots must be mailed in, harvested, and curated without accustomed audit and without verification of whether voters are registered U.S. citizens or have voted only once and done so legally.

And—his third major asset—Biden will also have billions of dollars more than Trump to pound home these themes in endless ads, social media shenanigans, and news censorship and blackouts. The election hinges on destroying a monstrous, demonic and hideous Donald Trump through any means necessary. Biden’s is not a positive campaign but will be waged by despising Donald Trump and all who support him. Expect more of those “semi-fascists”/ “ultra-MAGA” Phantom-of-the-Opera Biden hate speeches.

In the next seven months, the Biden effort will play out with three narratives: Trump is a Jan. 6 insurrectionist and dictator and will “destroy democracy,” though apparently without weaponizing the FBI or removing his opponents’ names from ballots or siccing right-wing prosecutors on his enemies.

Trump purportedly will kill women by banning all abortions while relegating non-whites to the pre-civil-rights era — despite leaving abortion up to the states, and likely gaining more Latino and Black voters than any prior Republican presidential candidate. Then we will hear that Trump is a felon who belongs in jail.
