Doubling Down on My Predictions for 2024

The 70 million to 80 million voting age people in America that hate Trump – whether they be journalists, lobbyists, pundits, or voters – have always found it difficult to believe that Orange Top would ever get the large and tenacious support he has gotten.

And because of their blinding antipathy, they were never able to see how foolish a political strategy it would be to highlight their condescending animosity towards him. That is why, during the 2016 elections, Hillary Clinton felt free to call Trump’s supporters “the Deplorables.” I believe that was the single biggest factor in her losing to Trump.

Today, these same people are even more surprised to discover that – after all the allegations and indictments they’ve thrown at him for six years running – Trump has held onto his base and is still so strong in the polls. (Click here.)

I’ve been saying for at least a year that Biden will not be running for reelection in 2024. For several reasons.

For openers, Biden no longer has the mental or physical strength to compete successfully against Trump in another nationally televised campaign. His handlers skillfully protected him in 2020 by severely limiting his public exposure – particularly on occasions when he’d be expected to speak extemporaneously. But that strategy is no longer possible. In the last 18 months, Biden’s physical weakness and mental lapses have increased so greatly that even a partisan media has been unable to ignore them.

The video evidence of Biden’s mental deterioration is abundant. If you think I’m being myopic in this regard, freebeacon.com is a website that tracks and publishes it weekly. Here, for example, are three senior moments that happened the week of the 2023 G20 Summit in India. Biden forgot:

* the year of his presidential inauguration

* the name and job title of the US Secretary of Defense, and

* whether or not it’s appropriate to stroke a little girl’s face.

But Biden’s mental condition is not the only thing Democrat insiders are worried about. They are just as worried that he is going to be criminally implicated in the Hunter Biden investigation. The proof is piling up. There is now documented evidence (including tape recordings and canceled checks) that during Biden’s tenure as vice president under Obama, China, Russia, and Ukraine paid Hunter, Biden’s brother, and as many as a dozen other members of the Biden family at least $20 million, which was deposited into various anonymous trusts.

Though the mainstream media has done a fantastic job of keeping this story under wraps, with all that incriminating evidence coming into public view, it’s become difficult for them to continue to keep their audiences in the dark.

But I don’t think that’s what’s really going on. I think the increase in news articles and editorials that are critical of Biden is being done not just with the blessing of the Democrat machine, but in response to a plan to get rid of Biden that was hatched at least a year ago.

As I’ve said before, Trump’s support is at an all-time high and growing. Biden’s support is at an all-time low. And the felony indictments are galvanizing Trump’s base and even pulling in some undecided voters that see the indictments as third-world-level political ploys.

And this, the Democrat party leaders saw as a possibility a long time ago. So, they put together a Plan B.

Plan B is to replace Biden with a stronger candidate. Someone that has the credentials, the intelligence, and the charisma to compete with or beat Trump on the debate stage and in press conferences. It seems highly likely that the politician that fits that role is Gavin Newsom. So, I’m betting that he’ll be running against Trump next year.

I also predict that we will see an acceleration of critical coverage of Hunter and then his father during the next several months. The mainstream media will begin reporting on both the Hunter laptop scandal and President Biden’s mental decline on a weekly basis. Until it is obvious to everyone, including Democrat voters, that Biden has no chance of winning and must be replaced.

At that point, Biden will have to recognize that, considering his age and his health, he would be doing America a service by stepping down so that someone else, whom he endorses, can pick up the baton.

If the campaign for Newsom is to be ready in time, it must begin with a strong push by January 2024 at the latest. That’s why I’m predicting that Biden’s announcement will come before then.

Here’s the latest (and clearest) evidence that the left-leaning media is following the plan and gradually turning against Biden. The timing is predictable.

That’s enough about this for now. Sometime next week, I’ll give you my predictions for Newsom’s running mate and the issues the Democrats will highlight in their campaign.

How Reese Witherspoon Became a Billionaire 

A fascinating explanation of how Reese Witherspoon made gazillions of dollars. Not from acting, although she’s done well with that, but from her book club.

The woman doing the explaining sounds like a true marketing expert. I don’t know why she seems resentful of Witherspoon for her business strategy. I think it’s smart and impressive. But you decide!

New Pfizer-funded Study: The Three-Shot COVID Vaccine Regimen Is Useless (and Dangerous?) in Children Under Five

There has been an argument for vaccinating older and “immunocompromised” people against COVID. At least there was when a handful of early studies concluded that it prevented infection and spreading. But there was never any evidence that it was helpful for children. With that age cohort, in fact, the lethality rate, as reported by the WHO and the CDC, was equal to or less than the lethality rate of the flu.

Recent studies have confirmed that the vaccines weren’t necessary for children – especially those under five. That didn’t surprise me. But what I didn’t expect when I began covering our government’s response to the COVID pandemic three years ago was the mounting evidence that the vaccines have produced negative, sometimes seriously negative, side effects in children.

And what is the CDC doing about this? It’s telling parents to bring their kids in for some extra jabs!

In the Same Vein: Why Nobody Should Wear a Face Mask

First, we found that the vaccines don’t work. Now we are learning that they have negative, even dangerous, side effects. (See above.)

The same story is unfolding with masks. First, we were told that they are effective. Then we discovered that they are not. And now we are seeing reports that wearing them for extended periods of time is harmful to our health.

From BD after a recent trip to Rancho Santana:

The gift shop at Rancho Santana 

“Just spent five days in Rancho Santana and I must say the best gift shop I have ever seen in all my travels, and I have stayed in the best hotels around the world. I love all the Nicaraguan-made things. It is all first-class and high-quality. Rosemarie is priceless. Rancho Santana is very lucky to have her. In my opinion, she is grossly over-qualified to be working in the gift shop. She knows hotels and customer service like a great concierge.”

My Response: Thanks for the note. It’s always gratifying to hear good things about Rancho Santana and the great staff that Luke, the managing director, has put together over the years. It’s especially gratifying to hear such things from people like you that know not just Rancho Santana, but the competition along the Pacific Coast of Central America.
