Mark Halperin: donors won't contribute to Joe Biden's presidential library

According to Mark Halperin, Joe Biden has never been a strong fundraiser. After getting shoved out of this year's presidential race, professional Democrat fundraisers are signaling that they won't contribute to a Biden presidential library. Instead, it sounds like they're more willing to contribute to a Biden presidential "bookmobile."

Figuring out Democrats is like trying to figure out women. It's a waste of time. That's like assuming that they've used to using logic. Halperin said "I mean there will be some version, maybe more like a bookmobile than an actual library. But this is not a surprise. He’s never been a good fundraiser and the donors are really annoyed."

These fundraisers didn't object when the DNC restricted the rule so that Biden would be the only candidate, thereby ensuring a primary without competition. When Biden bombed in the June 27th debate, Democrats went into full-fledged panic mode. That night on CNN and MSNBC, Democrat pundits started talking about who might replace Biden as the nominee.

For months, Republicans talked about Joe Biden's cognitive decline. I set my clock by Sean Hannity's first mention of the night about Joe's cognitive decline, complete with video clip. For months, KJP insisted that Joe was working younger staffers into the ground, telling the gullible press that they simply didn't have a chance. Joe Scarborough went farther. Check this out:

After telling the audience that he's never been better, that Biden's sharp as a tack, etc., Democrats quickly turn on Biden and want him gone:

The media won't accept responsibility for propping up old Joe but they knifed him the minute he lost this debate. With friends like these, who needs enemies? Still, SMorning Joe didn't do Biden a favor by lying about his mental capacity. He set Biden up for failure. Scarborough might've thought he was doing Biden a favor but that isn't the end result.

The reality is that the legacy media are as much at fault as anyone. Had they told the truth last fall, when Biden's decline was already obvious to those who weren't blind or comatose, they could've pushed him out and had a competitive primary. They would've still gotten beat by Trump but their presidential nominee would've been better than Kamala. Still, I must thank her for picking Tim Walz for her running mate. As a Minnesota Republican, I'm grateful for him getting exposed as a goofball on a national stage. But I digress.

Here's to the opening of Joe's presidential bookmobile.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
