Joe Biden is facing an uphill reelection battle.
He is desperate, and he should be. The world is an uglier and an uglier place under Biden. Nearly no one believes the country is moving in the right direction. Americans are deeply dissatisfied with the economy; America is experiencing an unprecedented illegal immigration crisis; and the world seems to be on fire, from the Middle East to Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Biden himself is clearly ailing; as comedian Shane Gillis recently said, “My favorite thing about Biden is anytime Biden finishes a speech, he transforms into a Roomba.” This is clearly true. In fact, after Biden’s recent diatribe against Donald Trump at Valley Forge, Dr. Jill Biden — the greatest physician in all the land — charged up on the stage like a shepherd attempting to pen in a wandering sheep, corralling the president toward the back of the stage.
So, what can Biden do?
He can pull out all the scare tactics he knows.
And that’s precisely what he’s doing, fully 10 months from the 2024 election.
His campaign is predicated on two main issues: Trump, and also Trump.
First, Biden argues, Donald Trump is apparently a threat to democracy. Biden stated at Valley Forge, “Donald Trump’s campaign is obsessed with the past, not the future. He’s willing to sacrifice our democracy, put himself in power.” He said this in the middle of a speech about the evils of Jan. 6 — while labeling Trump an insurrectionist, which presumably would disqualify Trump from the ballot. Biden’s own Department of Justice has hit Trump with two separate federal criminal cases, one in Florida, the other in Washington, D.C.
It is, in other words, a tough case to make that Trump is the true threat to democracy, while Biden is democracy’s defender.
Second, Biden argues, Donald Trump is a white supremacist. Biden stated at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina — the site of a white supremacist mass shooting in 2015 — that Trump’s election denial represented a “second lost cause,” somehow comparable to the Southern Lost Cause narrative that portrayed the loss of the Civil War as the death of a grand and glorious way of life at the hands of perfidious Yankees. Yes, Biden suggested, Trump was akin to the Confederates. And he, Joe Biden, would stand in their way.
Biden has made this case before. Against — yes, really — Mitt Romney. Back in 2012, Biden argued that Romney would put Black Americans “back in chains.” Suffice it to say that Biden has little credibility trying to breathe new life into that political corpse.
Joe Biden requires Donald Trump. He needs him.
But he’s still unlikely to beat him.
That’s why Biden is steering so strongly to his left rather than toward the middle. At his speech in Charleston, pro-Hamas protesters began chanting for a ceasefire in Gaza, which would leave Hamas in power after the Oct. 7 massacre. Biden sheepishly replied, “I understand their passion, and I’ve been quietly working with the Israeli government to get them to reduce and significantly get out of Gaza.”
Biden can’t leave any stone, no matter how radical, unturned.
And that tactic will, in turn, drive away many moderate voters who are sick of the chaos the Biden era has ushered in.
In short, Biden is re-running his 2020 campaign. There’s one big difference this time: This time, Joe Biden is the president. And we all know it.

Biden is not President, he was installed as President, BUT he was not elected!!!
Jackass Joe is the worst Presidential Imposter in American History!
Biden is nothing more than a joke on our Constitutional Republic. He violates our rule of laws, our protected rights, circumvents our USSC decision too. Most unAmerican seated president Americans have ever had to suffer under. Vote smart in November or lose our nation as we’ve known it all our lives.
I wish this news would get on local news! People need more truthful information and stop being brainwashed by this administration.
Face it, the Democrats are going to dump Pres. Biden He is a big LIABILITY at this time. The Demos will find a candidate that will suit the people so they can again “CHEAT” at the next election. Everything will continue to be in TURMOIL so as to keeping confusing the issues.
Let him campaign on his record That speaks for itself No need for blather
If Joe should get re-elected just bend-over and kiss your b*** goodbye!
If by some miracle he is reelected in November, then you will know the Democrats have fiqured out how to manipulate the ballot box in a way they will never lose again !
Look at California since they allowed Ballot Harvesting to occur ! Wake up people !
“I know you are but what am I?” This is the teenage comeback saying that comes to mind anytime Bumbling Joe Biden starts to attack Donald Trump. The Biden regime has done more to destroy our constitutional republic than any president in my lifetime of over 70 years. He and his regime are constantly being rebuked by the federal courts for unlawful and unconstitutional acts. Were it not for a totally corrupt, biased and anti American main team media, AND a wholly undereducated American electorate when it come to the legitimate actions of government, Joe Biden would have been impeached long ago. Of course that fails to acknowledge most of his fellow demoncrats and an excess of RINO’S have no desire to govern legitimately rather than rule the American people tyrannically.
Biden is nothing more than a comical criminal who has gotten away with entirely too much during his 80 years on the planet!!! He and Democrats would love to do away with the Constitution (it’s a thorn in their sides) and any rule of law!!! The scare tactic that would work on me is if he actually won!! Then I would be terrified!!!
Communism is a cancer that remains the largest threat to the United Stares and the world. Ask yourself, which political party represents Marxist ideals? It certainly isn’t the Republican Party.
And ‘Dr.’ Jill Biden is NOT a physician…she has a doctorate and it’s not in medicine.
We have nothing to fear, but fear itself. -W. Churchill and he wasn’t a liar..
Biden is losing too many minority votes because the economy affects everyone not wealthy enough like the Bidens so he is trying to scare them into voting Dem. The biggest lie of all is the one saying if Trump is elected, he’d “do away with elections”! Can you imagine? Oh not that they’d say it but expect ppl to be so dumb to BELIEVE IT!
If Biden wins the election again, we will know it’s because of cheating tactics.
Im not holding my breath anticipating dem robots waking up. When it comes down to it they will rally for bite me. The hope lies with independents. Will enough of them shake off tds? Also, R voter enthusiasm, which seems strong, is key. But then theres demon party cheating. Thats the elephant in the room. How to go into demon party controlled precincts to check things remains a perplexing question.
Good old Joe has been corrupt all his life. It’s unbelievable what he gets away with. Biden even called all of the major network reporters into a secret white house meeting and demanded censorship put on all the News being broadcast on CNN, CNBC and others to not show any negative reporting on his presidency or there would be consequences. Now that’s Nazi propaganda ending democracy. Worst US President ever times ten.
Biden does have a record to run on and that is what he can’t escape.
Loose bolts in airplanes are a wake up call. When quality counts (and when doesn’t it?) we don’t want to compromise. Diversity is not as important as merit. Democrats are fond of attributing to others what they are.
I think most of us know we dont have a Government any more. We live in a Criminal Enterprise. This one Demonizes its Citizens, and Perceived Enemies, pushing them aside to create a new Empire made up of illegal entries, criminals, pardoned rapists, molesters, etc whom by gratitude and fear will support them so they can remain in power.
I thought he was going to be the great unifier. The only thing he has unified is chaos. What a putz. Love that jill lead him off the stage. Did anyone notice how fast she threw his hand down as they walked off the stage? I think even she knows he is useless.
Biden is the one who is scared. And he should well be. No matter what when he stands before our Maker the truth will come out and he will be accountable. Can’t scare God in any way,shape, or form. And God will not be mocked.
The entire Democrat Party is corrupt and disgusting. This administration has destroyed american and they think scaring people about what someone else might do is a strategy?
Biden you have screwed up everything. you are the threat to america.
For someone who has been on vacation 40% of his time in office, why is he running for office? Some of the oldtimers in Washington need to realize that the average retirement age is 65 and they need to go off and play bocchi ball, shuffleboard, swim and enjoy the sunset years. After all, their job performance is such that these geriatric challenges are far more suited to their abilities. People need to realize that life is more than politics.
I do not care what he has to say or his people they all stick up for the worst president in american history he needs to be impeached most for how he has handled the border letting anyone walk into this country as long as the people of this country foot the bill for there care.
The most evil and corrupt individual. It is Biden’s goal is to destroy America along with all of the radical left liberal idiotology ideas.
Since POTUS 45 9/16ths [based on time spent on duty] aka Brandon likes vacations on the islands so much…
Would it be appropriate to send him, his consigliere Garland, and the rest of his mob to a permanent vacation on Alcatraz or Guantanamo Bay?
How could this flaccid peckered pants pooper scare anyone? Screw the corrupt old P.O.S.
