First lady turns on cleanup mode as Biden defies calls from within his own party. https://www.foxnews.com/live-n...urt-democrats-july-8 First Lady Jill Biden says she is "all in" on President Biden's re-election campaign Monday as she plans to make three stops in separate states. “Joe has made it clear he is all in,” she told the crowd in North Carolina. "That’s the decision he’s made. And just as he has always supported my career, I am all in too." The first lady will also make appearances at campaign events in Florid and Georgia later Monday, though Biden himself has no public events on his schedule. Jill's declaration of support comes as Biden is working to fend off members of his own party who want him to drop out of the race. His critics say his disastrous performance in the debate against former President Trump proves he is no longer fit to hold office. Biden has so far rejected calls for a withdrawal, writing a letter do House Democrats urging them to drop the issue earlier Monday. If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

^^^^^^^ Hooray for Jill! Don’t let Joe slither away! We NEED him! Obama is muttering curses and gnashing his teeth. He wants Michelle in so he can start his third term. Serious about crackers | |||

How Biden's event staffers guide him behind the scenes https://www.axios.com/2024/07/...staff-events-prepare Photos at link For his events, President Biden's staffers prepare a short document with large print and photos that include his precise path to a podium, according to an event template the White House sends to staffers. Why it matters: Since the June 27 debate, some Democrats who've attended and helped set up Biden events have wondered whether his team's focus on minute details were to obscure the 81-year-old president's limitations — rather than just a reflection of a meticulous staff. "I staffed a simple fundraiser at a private residence, but they treated it like it was a NATO summit with his movements," according to a person who staffed a Biden event in the past 18 months. Driving the news: Before a presidential event, the White House sends event staffers a document to emulate when preparing their own materials for the president. One template — a copy of which was obtained by Axios — is short and simple, with one large picture of the event space on each page, accompanied with big text such as: "View from podium," and "View from audience." In the five-page document, two pages are separate pictures of, "Walk to podium." The staffer who helped with the fundraiser told Axios: "It surprised me that a seasoned political pro like the president would need detailed verbal and visual instructions on how to enter and exit a room." A White House official told Axios: "If individuals are not accustomed to seeing advance teams work, that would be a common reaction, whoever the principal is." Two former aides who worked with Biden during his vice presidency said that at that time his preparation documents were different, and more often relied on site diagrams. Reality check: Organizing presidential events — often called "advance work" — is intensive and detail-focused for every commander-in-chief. Presidential movements are planned down to every footstep in ways that the movements of a vice president often are not. Advance documents also have evolved since Biden was vice president, including the increased use of smartphone photographs. Other prominent principals in the Biden administration use similar methods for plotting his movements, sources told Axios. White House spokesperson Andrew Bates told Axios that "high levels of detail and precision are critical to presidential advance work — regardless of who is president — and these are basic approaches that are used by any modern advance team, including the vice president's office and agencies." Vice President Kamala Harris' spokesperson Kirsten Allen added: "These documents are standard logistical briefing materials and photos for any principal, including the vice president." Zoom out: Many of Biden's seemingly ordinary practices are receiving fresh scrutiny after his debate performance when he, at times, couldn't string together sentences and often had his mouth agape. Presidents frequently use Teleprompters, but Biden's use of them for even small events such as fundraisers has sparked worries among Democrats that his debate performance was not a one-off. Between the lines: The event template's focus on the walk to a podium is notable, given recent attacks by Biden's political opponents. Republicans have tried to highlight videos in which Biden sometimes appears unsure of where to walk on and off stage as a way to suggest he isn't mentally fit for office. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

Ok, we did this on page 663, but Tatum's commentary is always fun. In looking for that, I ran across this bit of spin, and if you'll notice, he's working his way back to the young black lady he ignored on his way off the stage. Yes, he came back on stage to give grandma another kiss on his way to make nice with the snubbed young woman. No doubt the handlers caught him and sent him back out there. Only the first twelve seconds are relevant unless you want to sit and listen to a Biden campaign speech. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

He's like the captain of a ship, he wants to go down with it, fighting til the bitter end. He doesn't give a shit about the party at all, he recently has even entertained the idea that he'll lose to Trump, at least it will be he that lost the race, not someone else. The Democrat brand is so fucked up right now, IMO it does not matter one bit who they get to run, they know they're fucked. For me, Joe staying in just prolongs the agony, the disgrace, the humiliation. Democrats, pay back is a bitch.

Is the "campaigning" from the Press Briefings a violation of the Hatch Act? (Watching the briefing and seems like it is more like stumping for Lesco Brandon, than relating news. Example, stating how much better Lesco is "serving the people" than "the guy before", hyperbole.) Opinions?

KJP is lying through omission. She said a neurologist examined the president 3 times. The NYT (IIRC) said it was 9 times so which one is it? Was it a different doctor? The same one? Was any testing done? I'd be curious to know if other specialists also examined the president. KJP could confirm in which other fields without disclosing the names of the doctors. | |||

Karine Jean-Identity-Hire is finally getting the same treatment that Trump's press secretaries had to endure, and unlike them, KJP is showing just how grossly unqualified she really is for this job. Imagine if the press did their job these last couple of years? KJP would've quit long ago. She's pathetic, which makes her a perfect spokesman for this administration. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

I'm reminded of the question "How many months have 28 days?" The answer of course is that all twelve have! So saying that he has seen a neurologist three times isn't lying... mot telling the truth either of course! ..................................................

Alex Berenson was first... then the NYT. https://alexberenson.substack....a-parkinsons-disease "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Oh, that is delicious to watch. Unqualified DEI hire faced with, for the VERY FIRST time, actual hard questions from the msm. She seems completely out of her depth trying to 'manage the narrative' and the press isn't buying her crap answers. I hope the msm turns on these incompetent yahoos and rips them to shreds. The LAST thing this administration wants is a truly hostile (or even fair) press. Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||
