IT'S OVER: BIDEN DROPS OUT, ABSOLUTE CHAOS
President Joe Biden announced he will not seek reelection, opting instead to focus on finishing out the remainder of his term. This announcement follows months of speculation and internal Democratic Party debates. Soon after announcing he was dropping out of the race, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his preferred nominee, praising her as his best decision since becoming the party's nominee in 2020 and calling for Democratic unity to defeat former President Donald Trump. In a formal letter, Biden highlighted his administration's achievements, including economic growth, healthcare improvements, and the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, expressing his belief that stepping aside is in the best interest of both the Democratic Party and the country. Kamala Harris responded by thanking Biden for his leadership and expressing her determination to earn the Democratic nomination and win the election. The decision has sparked increased support and donations flowing towards Harris. Biden's move is a patriotic act, prioritizing the country's needs over personal ambitions. The upcoming election now focuses on Trump's record and the Democrats' ability to present a strong candidate capable of winning the presidency.
Trump's ability to speak COLLAPSES live on stage
The media has spent extensive time analyzing President Joe Biden's ability to serve another term, but largely ignored former President Donald Trump's declining coherence. Trump's recent rallies have showcased his deteriorating communication, with a jumbled narrative praising authoritarian leaders like China's Xi Jinping and bizarre analogies about sharks and electrocution. Despite these alarming signs, corporate media hasn't given them due attention. At Trump’s recent Michigan rally, he boasted about receiving financial support from Elon Musk and pledged to favor wealthy individuals, highlighting a campaign filled with praise for authoritarians, attacks on the media, and fearmongering about migrants. Trump’s incoherent rhetoric and fixation on conspiracy theories often go unchecked, while the media remains focused on Biden. The hope is that with Biden stepping aside and a younger Democratic nominee emerging, there will be a shift to scrutinizing Trump's disjointed speeches, which currently receive minimal coverage despite their concerning content.
From over the weekend:
Secret Service CRUSHED for failure to prevent Trump shooting
The U.S. Secret Service is facing criticism for the incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, where 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks climbed onto a rooftop and shot at former President Trump, grazing his ear, killing one person, and injuring another. This has led to a surge in speculation and theories similar to the early days of COVID-19, where everyone became an armchair expert. Key questions arise about how Crooks accessed the rooftop and fired shots in an area supposedly cleared and secure. A viral BBC interview revealed that witnesses tried to alert local law enforcement about Crooks, but initial responses were ineffective. Ultimately, snipers neutralized Crooks, but many wonder why agents weren't deployed on every rooftop. Some blame the Secret Service, while others point to local police failures. Reports suggest snipers saw Crooks earlier but were delayed in engaging him, pending permission, adding to the list of alleged mistakes, such as the unsecured rooftop and inadequate local police response. The incident's complexity and ongoing investigation are fueling conspiracy theories, as the lack of clear answers allows for speculation.

Trump assassination conspiracies EXPLODE
The recent assassination attempt on Trump's life has sparked a surge in conspiracy theories. Some individuals claim that the event was staged by Trump to garner sympathy, while others suggest it was orchestrated by Biden to distract from his own issues. These theories point to various details, such as Trump’s reaction, the nature of his injury, and the Secret Service's actions, to support their claims. However, many of these details can be debunked: high-resolution images show blood on Trump’s hand, and the Secret Service's behavior was likely a strategic response to the active shooter. Theories about Biden staging the event also fall apart under scrutiny, as they lack logical consistency and evidence. Ultimately, the current evidence points to a lone radicalized individual and potential security failures rather than a staged event by either Trump or Biden.

David is correct. We need to get the media the corporate media laser focused on Trump’s deteriorating mental acuity. He likes to put it on Biden but in reality being around Trump, you’re stuck in the whirlwind of lies and deception spewed by a damaged mind.
I would be remiss if I did not strongly object to Prime Minister Netanyahu‘s address to the US Congress. Perhaps he wants more weapons to kill more children and women and yes, I know they were attacked first, but he’s gone beyond the pale. You are not welcome here, Mr. Netanyahu, and in fact, you should be arrested once you step on US soil, you are a charged war criminal. Your sins lie in the crimes against humanity, which lie in the ashes of Raffa.
