Flotsam and Jetsam - Rats Leaving or Sharks Circling?

I don't know if I like the rats leaving  or sharks circling the sinking ship better. I guess the rats is more apt, but why not both? Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, WaPo Wonders: Can't Biden Take a Hint? Heather McDonald at CJ, The Times Turns on a Dime. "Determined to help force President Biden out of the race, the Paper of Record suddenly applies withering scrutiny to his every word." Capt. Ed adds "The elite clique sees Biden as a liability after the debate and wants to push him out of the race. If Biden won't leave, though, expect the Times to turn on a dime again and return to its normal gaslighting." NYPo ed board, Biden’s lying, crying & denying to Democrats won’t save his candidacy. Dave Strom at Hat Hair, Chuck Todd Spills the Beans About Biden: He's a Bad Man

'Bonchie' at RedState thinks Nancy Pelosi's Latest Comments on Biden's Future Are Raising All Sorts of Eyebrows. Capt. Ed, Pelosi on Biden: I Support His Ability to Decide, And ... UPDATE: 'Am I Speaking English to You?' as long as he decides what she wants. NewsMax has a Report: Schumer Talking With Donors About Dumping Biden. Mark Judge at Chronicles wonders Did Kamala Harris Help Torpedo Joe Biden? "I have no proof she did, but it’s not crazy talk, either." Beege Wellborn at Hat Hair, Offers He Can't Refuse? Democratic Senate Cosa Nauseous Is Coming for POTATUS. Da Fetched, James Carville Warns Democrats They’re Making Fatal Mistake Sticking with Biden as Nominee: ‘We’re Losing’. Reagan Reese at Da Caller, Obama World Is Circling Joe Biden Like A Wounded Gazelle, or Great Whites around a wounded whale. Hat Hair VIP's Jazz Shaw reports Biden's Fundraising Operation Has Tanked.

Stacy McCain has Jon Stewart: ‘Get on Board or Shut the F*** Up Is Not a Particularly Compelling Pro-Democracy Bumper Sticker’ "Question: When did Jon Stewart become a “MAGA extremist”? Because, you’ll recall, prior to June 27, anyone who so much as suggested that perhaps Joe Biden was less than coherent was denounced as a MAGA extremist, a fascist, an enemy of “Our Democracy,” etc." Ace, John Stewart Graphs Biden's Cognitive Decline. "He notes just three of Biden's previous shows of dementia.  But he does make the point." From NYPo, George Clooney calls on Biden to drop out of presidential race weeks after co-hosting fundraiser: ‘He cannot win’. Noah Rothman at NRO thinks The George Clooney Op-Ed Is a Scandal. He just now got around to seeing Biden's brain is mush. Capt. Ed, "I didn't realize that the fundraising event Clooney referenced was the same one that Biden froze on stage at the end. I wrote about Clooney's op-ed here, while noting it took Clooney three weeks to go public with his concerns by his own telling. Why?" Sundance at CTH, Barack Approved – George Clooney Tells Joe Biden, It’s Time to Go. VodkaPundit at PJM, Biden Campaign Collapse Tracker: When You've Lost Stephanopoulos.... Jim Treacher, George Stephanopoulos Accidentally Tells the Truth. "That's a big no-no." Ace, Biden Loses Lifelong Democrat Propagandists George Stephanopolous and George Clooney. "Nick Arama notes that Clooney just threw Biden a fundraiser a few weeks ago. Now he's throwing him under the bus." From Da Mail, ABC's brutal ultimatum to George Stephanopoulos after his damning verdict on Joe Biden - as network plunged into 'fully fledged crisis'. You're a news anchor, you can't speak the truth! At Hollywood in Toto, Michael Moore: ‘Trump Was Right’ About This One Thing "Far-left filmmaker says Biden should take page from 'Apprentice' star's playbook." Da Caller, Dave Portnoy Goes On Wild Clooney Rant, Calls Biden ‘Vegetable’ 22 Times.

Salena Zito at Creators, In Pennsylvania Comeback Tour, Biden Says Dark Brandon Is Back. Vicky Taft at PJM, Joe Accidentally Just Gave Himself a New Nickname, Darth Brandon. Scott Johnson at Power Line sees Clyburn still Ridin’ with Biden. Scott Pinsker at PJM explains Why Democrats Can’t Cancel Joe Biden "If someone doesn’t want to leave and you can’t legally force them, then they’re not leaving." Leah Barkoukis at TownHall, If Biden Is Pushed Out, Here's Who Trump Believes Will Step In, Kamala. Althouse finds "One common argument for why the party should coronate Harris in Biden’s absence is that skipping over her would be racist—or be perceived as such..." "Writes Jerusalem Demsas, in "The Problem With Coronating Kamala Harris/The No. 2 spot has never been a guarantee of a promotion" (The Atlantic)." On YouTube,  Why Kamala Harris should never be president. Punch Bowl thinks Joe Biden has made a mess of the Democratic Party. Impossible, they already were. 

Ace, wonders Who's Really Making Decisions for the White House? "Via Matt Vespa, Semafor has an article up about a source inside the White House. This source demands complete anonymity, but allows the reporter to say if he's (or she's) a serious person or not. The reporter claims he (or she) is a serous person. The claim is that all domestic policy decisions at the White House are being made by Biden's Inner Circle -- without Biden's input." Stephen Kruiser at PJM, DOCTOR Jill Biden Has Always Been in Full Edith Wilson Mode. Ace, Hail to the (Secret) Chief: Status-Obsessed Social Climber and Elder Abuser "Doctor" Jill Biden Demanded That Marine Corps Band Write a New Piece of Music to Introduce Her "Wow. Just wow." Breitbart Reports Convicted Felon Hunter Biden Is Joe Biden’s ‘Acting Chief of Staff’

From NYPo, Karine Jean-Pierre admits giving false information about Biden neurology visit after outcry over health misdirection. Well, it is her job, after all. Misty Severt at JTN reports Comer subpoenas three White House staffers for allegedly covering Biden mental decline. "The three aides will be required to testify in front of the committee later this month." Da Caller notes ‘They Crave Their Power’:  Republicans Who Impeached Trump Call Out Dems For Silence On Biden’s Decline. At Althouse Conservatives upset? "I'm reading "White House roasted for saying Biden will give a ‘big boy press conference’: ‘Potty training next?’/Conservatives upset by ‘unbecoming’ joke in Monday’s White House briefing" (Independent)." At Twitchy, OMG! Harry Sisson Catches Donald Trump FREEZING UP in the Middle of a Rally.  Tristan Tate@TateTheTalisman, "Go easy on Harry guys. He’s never in his life heard of pausing for an applause. For obvious reasons."

InstyMAKE POLITICS FUN AGAIN! "Trump challenges Biden to $1 million charity golf tournament. Say what you will about Trump, he tries to make it so things aren’t so boring and serious all the time. I mean, this is a guy who not only believes in “NO TAX ON TIPS!” (and don’t we all? Can we please give the Chili’s waiter a break already?) but has it in his official agenda. In all caps. UPDATE: Biden said no in the most anti-fun way possible. (Maybe he shouldn’t have issued the original challenge?)" Ace, Trump to Biden: I'd Like to Take You Up on Your Golf Challenge "Anyway, Trump has accepted the challenge, and furthermore is giving Biden a twenty stroke lead as a handicap. He declares that if Football Hero Joe beats him, he'll donate $1 million to any charity Biden names."

At ET, Business Bankruptcies Jump 34 Percent in First Half of 2024. Bidenomics! Leah Barkoukis at TownHall, Texas Lt. Gov. Accuses Biden of Politicizing Hurricane Beryl Response. From OTP, 6-Year-Old Girl Dies After DUI Involving Illegal Immigrant

Jazz Shaw at Hat Hair jumps for joy as Cook Political Moves Six More States Toward Trump. Misty Severt again, Five states, including three battleground, move toward Trump after Biden debate "The nonpartisan Cook report moved Arizona, Georgia and Nevada from political toss-ups to "leaning Republican," and downgraded Minnesota and New Hampshire from "likely Democrat" to "lean Democrat." Insty responds DON’T GET COCKY. Politico whines Biden support slips in deep blue New York: ‘We’re a battleground state now’. Insty, SPEAKING OF “DON’T GET COCKY:”  . . .  "I’d honestly be shocked if Biden goes on to actually lose New York, but as former Democratic New York Gov. David Paterson tells the Politico, “The money that needs to be spent here will be subtracted from other areas he’s going to lose.”" Capt. Ed wonders is Big Mo Emerging? Trump Up 6 Over Biden in New AARP Poll ... in Wisconsin.

Marla Maples
The Standard, Marla Maples: 'Vice President? I’m open to serve my ex-husband Donald Trump in whatever way I can’. He could do worse, and still might.  From Reason, Joe Biden and Donald Trump Make Each Other's Candidacies Possible "Neither would be viable contenders for office in the absence of such a disliked opponent." But, is Biden viable? Yet to be determined. Batya Ungar-Sargon at Spiked tells The truth about Trump? He’s a moderate "The Democratic scare-mongering over his ‘far right’ platform is just not going to cut it with voters." Capt. Ed quibbles "I'm not sure that 'moderate' is the correct term. 'Populist' fits better, and 'conservo-populist' perhaps fine-tunes it. He's no moderate on immigration enforcement, for instance, but his position is now a lot more popular than it was after three-plus years of Biden's complete incompetence on enforcement. But yes, he's not a scary extremist ideologue." Eric Swallwell tried to pin Ben Shapiro with Project 25, and it didn't go well. Jim Thompson at RedState sees Eric Swalwell Takes Rake After Rake to His Face Over 'Project 2025' in Battle of Wits With Ben Shapiro. TownHall's Spencer Brown, Ben Shapiro's Response to Eric Swalwell's Gotcha Question Was Epic. Twitchy, Ben Shapiro OBLITERATES Eric Swalwell and His Feeble Attempt to Fearmonger 'Project 2025' (Watch)

Fred Lucas at Da Signal, Here’s How Many Democrats Voted Against Requiring Proof of Citizenship to Vote "Five Democrats voted for the legislation, but 198 Democrats voted against it." Capt. Ed, "Let's see whether Chuck Schumer even takes up the bill in the Senate. I doubt he'll rush to put his caucus in that position, but it will fuel Trump's point about the chaos resulting from open borders." Da Caller, EXCLUSIVE: Conservative Org Investigating Biden Admin’s ‘Partisan’ Voter Registration Push In Key Swing State.

Same song as "Spies who Lie", different verse, WSJ, Russia Seeks to Boost Trump in 2024 Election, U.S. Intelligence Officials Say "Other foreign-influence operations in the U.S. include attempts by Iran to covertly encourage protests against the war in Gaza, officials say." Beege Welborn, Communists Win? Let the 'Investigations' Begin!

Matt Margolis reports Democrats Are Still Trying to Put Trump in Jail. "While on the Senate floor on Tuesday, Schumer announced he plans to introduce legislation to reclassify Trump's actions leading up to the Capitol riot as "unofficial acts" so that he can be charged with something in relation to the events of that day — even though he did nothing wrong." TNP reads DOCUMENTS: Trump Prosecutor Listed DNC’s Perez, Biden Chief Zients as References in Job App to Letitia James. Merrick Garland not listed? Insty, JOHN LUCAS: “This murder of political enemies is what many unhinged Trump opponents seek. It is not a secret — they tell us this is what they want.” “This professor of linguistics, this New York Times wordsmith, presumably chooses his words carefully.” I wouldn’t rule out a “grand insurrection” if Trump were murdered, though. Look what happened after Martin Luther King was shot. Why should we assume that Trump supporters would be more passive than the supporters of a nonviolent protest leader? Also, I’m sad about this because John McWhorter is normally a reasonable guy who is willing to break with the Left monolith on many issues. That he’s still fantasizing about Trump being assassinated shows just how far the Trump Derangement Syndrome brain-rot has spread."

Ace, Trump Broke the Media, Chapter 63,528 "Right-wingers are fully aware of what non-right-wing media outlets say. Libs often have absolutely no idea what goes on in right-wing media, they have no understanding of what right-wingers actually think. This is part of why it's so shocking to them now that anyone would question Biden's competence." Mark Judge at WaEx, Recovering from the journalism crisis: Reporters need to learn to apologize. Althouse, "Independence has always been an important guiding principle for us, and resilience—not only the ability but the willingness to embrace multiple perspectives..." "Says Joe Kahn, quoted in "The Culture Wars Inside the New York Times/Joe Kahn, the newspaper’s executive editor, wants to incentivize his staff to take on difficult stories, even when they might engender scrutiny, or backlash" (The New Yorker)." Any perspective you want, as long a it's liberal. Dave Strom, House Judiciary Reveals Scope of Conspiracy to Silence Conservatives--It's HUGE. Jonathan Turley, The War on Free Speech: Biden Adds Another Advocate for Censorship to the White House "The latest such appointment is Andy Volosky, who was made deputy director of platforms for the White House’s Office of Digital Strategy. Volosky has been outspoken in support of banning former president Donald Trump from social media platforms." Capt. Ed, "The Supreme Court had an opportunity to prevent this in Murthy, but instead chose to take the narrowest possible approach on standing instead. It was a rare black mark on an otherwise good term in tackling the bureaucratic state." Kurt Schlichter at TownHall, Biden Aside, the Regime Media Is Toast Too

Dave Strom notes LGBT Activists Oppose Making Child S@x Trafficking a Felony, in California, of course.

At the Campus Fix, Ole Miss NAACP won’t share evidence two students made ‘racist remarks’ at rally. So it's most likely a hoax. At the Tax Prof, Why Are There So Few Conservative Professors? Because people tend not to go where they're actively hated?
