Preznit Joe Biden has been missing since last Wednesday when he apparently fell ill with Covid in Las Vegas and was flown back to Delaware to recuperate. Now, isolating for Covid is one thin, but completely disappearing for nearly a week as the President of the United States, in the middle of election season, and during the time you "chose" to drop out of the race is another. It feels a little like the old USSR when the old premiers would go into hiding for months and even years before their deaths were finally announced. Stacy McCain, Snopes Attacks ‘Unfounded Rumor’ of Biden’s Medical Emergency in Vegas. Bob Spencer at PJM asks Where's Joe? What's Going On? Is Any of This Really Happening? Armas, The missing man.

Da Mail wants to know Did Biden even sign his own resignation letter? Bizarre new theory sweeps internet - complete with photographic 'evidence'. Althouse, He announced it via Twitter... I thought that if Joe Biden was going to do this, he would've announced that he had a presser or..." Ace, Did Biden Really Agree to Withdraw? If So, Why Isn't He Making a Pubic Declaration? "The twitter post about it means nothing, because we've known forever that Biden has nothing to do with that account. Where's Joe?" Althouse again, "When will the press tell us that Democrats 'assert, without evidence,' that Biden has withdrawn?" Glenn Reynolds quips darkly, linking to something I wrote earlier this morning. NewsBusters sees ABC Huff Biden’s Drop Out Will ‘Be Used By Republicans’ Against Dems. Seize! Pounce!

From NYPo, Top Dems threatened to forcibly remove Biden from office unless he dropped out, set him up to fail at Trump debate: sources. Forcibly, like carrying him out kicking and shouting, or like 25 Amendment? At Instapundit, MIKE LEE: That’s a funny way to protect democracy. Althouse, "Top Dems threatened to forcibly remove Biden from office unless he dropped out, set him up to fail at Trump debate: Sources." "They were out to get him, but only after he'd sewn up the nomination, excluding all challengers. Did the old man enjoy his seeming triumph, winning the nomination — a nomination that Kamala Harris would probably not have won, had Biden dropped out a year ago — before they grabbed it and handed it to Kamala? Was the NY Post's source Hunter?" NewsMax cites Blagojevich: Obama Used 'Chicago' Way to Take Down Biden. Stephen Green@VodkaPundit, "The Most Powerful Man in the World™ got ousted by an 84-year-old member of Congress because democracy." Hat Hair's Jazz Shaw hears Hunter Supports Dad Dropping Out. Let's Figure Out Why. Pardons? Money for life? Jacob Sullum at Reason calls it Biden's Final Flip-Flop "The president's decision to drop out after insisting he never would continued a pattern established by a long career of politically convenient reversals." Lance Morrow at CJ, Pride Goeth Before a Withdrawal. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair comments "Everyone involved in this cover-up behaved despicably. That includes Joe himself, but also every Democrat who knew Biden had slipped into an active dementia progression, and every news outlet that gaslit Americans about what they could clearly see with their own eyes." Tom Knighton at TAW, Yes, Joe Biden is out, but how much really changed? Stephen Kruiser at PJM says Once Again, Joe Biden Makes Everything Weird. NewsMax cites Trump: Dems 'Stole' Race From Biden. Ace, THE MORNING RANT: “Preserving Our Democracy” – While National Democrats Purge Their Democratically Elected Nominee, Georgia Democrats Seek to Purge Competition from the Ballot.

Joel Mowbray@joelmowbray "We're only starting to dig into the cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline. Everyone knows Kamala Harris is going to be under the microscope." NYPo, Kamala Harris encourages crowd to applaud Biden in awkward first remarks on president’s retirement: ‘You may clap.’ Ace has a Shocker: The Cover-Up of Biden's Dementia Began In... October 2021 "Just eight months into his first term. Obviously the cover up began before then -- with the entire scripted "Basement Biden" strategy."
Capt. Ed, Biden's Endorsement: Revenge on Coup Plotters?

"Harris campaign raked in millions in donations after Biden endorsement." Dave Strom at Hat Hair sees Democrats Finally Unburdened By What Has Been. VodkaPundit, Introducing President Whatevs. At Liberty Unyielding, Biden drops out of presidential race, and endorses Kamala Harris, who is politically more extreme and would waste more taxpayer money. At Reason, It's Been Easy To Forget How Bad Kamala Harris Is, "But I'm here to remind you." John LeFevre@JohnLeFevre, "If you know someone who could vote for Kamala Harris, send them this thread:" Seriously. Matt Vespa at TownHall reports Axios Has a Damning Story About Kamala Harris. It's Why People Likely Doubt Her Behind the Scenes. Open the Books, VP Kamala Harris Had 92-Percent Staff Turnover During Her First Three Years "Chaos reigns on the vice president’s staff. And Harris tried to hide it by claiming that her office is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)."

"... for putting the party and Harris in this situation by discouraging anyone else from running against him by snuffing out any whiff of competition. I mean, he changed the primary calendar to favor him and him alone. He ditched Iowa and started the primaries in South Carolina, a state he knew he would win. I mean, how much of this is gonna be on him if Harris loses?" At NewMax Trump Says Kamala Harris Will Be Easier to Defeat Than Biden. Maybe, we'll see. I see the Democrats disestablishing Biden like kicking over the table in a losing chess match, hoping to force a new game you might have a chance of winning.
Capt. Ed thinks it's Too Fun to Check: Harris' Mock Prep For ... a Media Dinner Party? and Manchin Reminds Everyone: No Avoiding an Open Convention Now. Dave Strom, Biden and Kamala Both Refuse to Meet Bibi. From the Free Bacon, Anti-Israel Radicals Are 'Hopeful' Kamala Will Cast Aside the Jewish State. They Have Plenty of Reasons To Be. Dumisani Washington@DumisaniTemsgen, "The Middle East policy difference between the Trump and Biden administrations is the difference between a depleted Iranian regime and the #AbrahamAccords vs. a revived Iranian regime and October 7. To ignore this indisputable fact is to ignore reality. Sadly, the West has been ignoring reality for quite some time."
Twitchy, THAT'S RAYCISSS! Wes Moore Calls Being President of the United States a 'Black Job' He's being talked about for Kamala's VP. Karol Markowicz at NYPo, For our kids, any Democrat win means schoolhouse madness. You mean added schoolhouse madness.
At Variety, Hunter Biden Drops Lawsuit Against Fox News. Capt. Ed, "This lawsuit was going nowhere anyway. Hunter is a public person in the Sullivan context, and the supposed issue of "intimate images" is a very public matter in relation to probes into Hunter's business connections to government. In fact, by making himself part of his father's policy discussions at the White House, Hunter made his judgment even more of a public issue."
Ace, Thousands of Illegal Aliens Rush the Border, to Get Biden Amnesty Before Trump Wins the White House, :They're "surging the border" como El Presidente Josef Biden le dijé."
Yes, that master of resting bitch-face, Secret Service Director Kimberly
Cheatle testified, sort of, at the House Oversight Committee yesterday, where
her appearance generated lots of bipartisan heat, but very little light
regarding the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump in Butler
Pennsylvania. Susie Moore at RedState, WATCH LIVE: Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle Testifies
Before House Oversight Committee and Rep. Mike Waltz Gives Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle No Quarter
in Oversight Hearing. Althouse,
The impassive Kimberly Cheatle is getting raked over the coals. Shooting News Weekly, Watch California Democrat Ro Khanna Eviscerate Evasive Secret Service
Director Kimberly Cheatle. NYT whines Secret Service Director, Kimberly Cheatle, Pummeled by Lawmakers and The Questions Secret Service Director, Kimberly Cheatle, Did Not Answer. Twitchy, "This Is a Crazy Clip': Secret Service Director's House Testimony Is Making
Things Look Even WORSE. Not the Bee, The Secret Service director isn't answering basic questions for the
Oversight Committee so Jim Jordan went nuclear on her. Ace, Kim Cheatle Continues to Stonewall Congress; Democrat Ro Khanna Tells Her
She Should Resign,
"Girlbosses don't take responsibility, ever. Girlbosses crave power -- but not
responsibility. When they fail, they look for a nearby White Man they can

Secret Service Denied Trump's Requests for More Manpower for Two Years and
CHEATLE ADMITS SHE ASSIGNED FOUR TIMES AS MANY AGENTS TO PROTECT JILL BIDEN

Secret Service Director Receives Bipartisan Condemnation in Oversight
Hearing
"While there was some political grandstanding among members of Congress, the
bipartisan demand for answers was refreshing." Reason, The Elephant in the Room: Female Secret Service Agents. Someone should ask her to explain why there are two different sets of
standards, without making any reference to sex, then let her try to explain. I
have no doubt that there are roles for women in the SS, but for the most part,
body guards are not it. Let them investigate counterfeiting for example. Matt
Margolis at PJM,
Trump’s Security Detail Believes Lack of Resources Was ‘Politically
Motivated', because it likely was.
Sean Davis@seanmdav "I didn’t believe until right now that a specific stand down order was given by the Secret Service to leave the assassin alone. But now that we know Cheatle refused to record or archive the comms (or potentially even deleted them), I don’t think there’s any other conclusion to draw." At Twitchy, Oversight Project's Assassination Information DROP Thread Tracking Thomas Crooks Is DAMNING If True. Oversight Project@OversightPR, "Someone who regularly visited Crooks home and work also visited a building in Washington, DC located in Gallery Place. This is in the same vicinity of an @FBI office on June 26, 2023. Who’s device is this?" Thread at Oversight Project@OversightPR. Tom Knighton at Bearing Arms reports Trump Shooter's Gun Traced Using Controversial Practice.
At Hat Hair, Dem Pollster: Trump Leads Harris in Key Swing States Too. VodkaPundit, It's Official: Nobody Wants to Run Against Trump. Stephen Green@VodkaPundit ""Black swan event" has lost all meaning." Althouse likes "My baseline view of politics... is that political parties engage in
something roughly resembling game-theory optimal behavior..."
"... and undertake reasonably rational strategies in an effort to win elections and fulfill their other objectives.... As compared to Republicans’ decision about what to do about Trump, I thought Democrats had more agency about Biden following his disastrous debate. Unlike Republicans in 2016, Democrats hadn’t even bothered to hold a competitive primary — if they had, Biden’s flaws might have been even evident earlier — so the will-of-the-voters argument was weak. And unlike Trump in October 2016 following the release of the 'Access Hollywood' tape — after which some Republicans called on him to drop out — Biden wasn’t even the Democratic nominee yet since the party convention hadn’t been held. And Biden has always been a loyal Democrat who got a huge boost from the party establishment in wrapping up the nomination in 2020 — not someone who gave his party the middle finger...."
Writes Nate Silver, noting his failure to predict that Trump would win in 2016 and his early prediction that Biden would withdraw, in "Biden and Democrats make the rational choice/They're probably still underdogs against Trump, but Biden dropping out improves their odds."
I see the Democrats disestablishing Biden like kicking over the table in a losing chess match, hoping to force a new game you might have a chance of winning. Insty, SO WHO’S A BIG WINNER OUT OF ALL THESE CRAZY EVENTS? ELON MUSK. "His X (“formerly known as Twitter”) is ground zero for everything. Even the Biden Administration, which went to some lengths to destroy Musk and Twitter after Musk purchased it, wound up making its big announcement on Elon’s platform. And it’s been the most useful information channel, since the established press has been pretty useless, and is rapidly becoming moreso as it becomes clear what messages it’s supposed to be transmitting."
The Post Millennial@TPostMillennial, "JUST IN - A victim of the FBI plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Whitmer speaks out: "The FBI set everything up. They drove people; they paid for everything. They wrote the script."
