Biden points to the podium as he slowly shuffles out.

STEPHEN GREEN | JUN 27, 2024 8:39 PM EST They are insane. TDS overload. .

Come 10 o'clock, he will hit the wall. .

Huge victory. You don’t have to tolerate woke insanity from corporate America. They work for you.

Oh Come On ! Calling this fixed, is an understatement. .

Tom, CNN has announced that the two minute delay is “ not true” So take that as you will. As with most of America, we know that they gave the White House prep team the questions

As I have explained countless times to the board. I post a majority of conservative sources, because I know that the left leaning members here will never see them otherwise. Very simple. and NO, it doesn't mean I agree with all they say. .

That IS the final three according to multiple sources across the media spectrum. However, I think that Trump may have other plans. .

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Tonight's Debate but Were Afraid I'd Tell You STEPHEN GREEN Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern, two presidential candidates enter Debate Thunderdome, but only one will leave. The survivor will be pronounced the winner right there on the spot, sparing a grateful nation the rigors and horrors of the 2024 presidential election. I wish. Instead, we have a mostly traditional presidential debate, but I won't bore you with the particulars of this DNC lion's den that the White House and CNN have put together to present Donald Trump as the loser, no matter what happens tonight on the debate stage. Let's just say that, going in, I have mixed feelings about this set-up. On the one hand, it's rigged. On the other, Trump gets bragging points — at the very least — just for showing up for a fight with everything stacked against him. Presidentish Joe Biden's weakness is that he is A) Possibly the vainest man in Washington (which is saying something); and B) completely unaware of how decrepit he looks to everyone else. But don't underestimate Biden. His brain isn't what it used to be, sure, and even that is like saying that the "Before" guy in the body-building ads is looking a little soft. But there are a couple of things working in his favor. First, Biden is going to be amped up on whatever the unofficial White House Dr. Feelgood amps him up on, and that's good enough to keep him lucid — on the Biden Scale — for an hour or more. For viewers sticking around for the whole debate, just like during his State of the Union address earlier this year, TOTALLY AMPED UP JOE is exhausting to watch. But most people will just watch the highlights, and what they'll take away from short clips is that Biden sounds energetic and strong. It worked for SOTU in large part because the media played along, and it could work again tonight. Even if Biden fades in the last thirty minutes, as he did in both 2020 debates, it won't really matter because of my second point. Second, Biden won't be playing to win — he'll be playing to get Trump to lose. Biden will stick to his well-worn schtick of being snide and dismissive of Trump while lying his bottom off about literally everything. The moderators — CNN Newsy Personalities/DNC Palace Guards Jake Tapper and Dana Bash — will help him every step of the way, too. Trump's job is both simple and difficult. He needs to appear presidential to remind people that he's had this job before, he was pretty good at it, and all the Literally Hitler scare stories are just that — scare stories. He also needs to prod Biden, in as grown-up a manner as possible, into losing it. That won't be easy with CNN having a killswitch for his microphone. And playing the grown-up doesn't always come easy to Trump, either. https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2024/06/27/everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-tonights-debate-but-were-afraid-id-tell-you-n4930195 .

Thanks for demonstrating how you completely misinterpreted the article.

On The 14th of June 1946 a baby boy was born In the Jamaica district of Queens, New York. In 1995 his car had a flat tire. A black man walking by noticed the owner was wearing a suit, so he stepped in and fixed the flat. "How can I repay you?" asked the gentleman. "My wife has always wanted some flowers," the man says. A few days later, the man's wife received a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a note saying, "thanks for helping me. By the way, the mortgage on your house is paid off." A United States Marine spent 7 months in a Mexican prison on a minor charge. He was beaten. After he was returned to America, the man from Queens sent him a check for $25,000, "To get you started." A black bus driver saved a suicidal girl from jumping off a bridge. The man from Queen sent him a check for $10,000. A rabbi's critically ill son needed to get from NYC to California for special care but no airlines would fly him. The generous man from Queens used his private jet to fly the child. This kind man from Queens did many other quiet acts of kindness over the years. Everyone loved him. I'm voting for Donald Trump!

I agree with this 'prediction' Thoughts on Tonight's Debate DAVID STROM Biden will survive, and the election will look much the same after the debate as before it. That is my prediction for Thursday night's debate results. Trump will do fine, get beat up, and nobody will care one way or the other about the three-way attacks directed at him. The media will tell everybody that Trump is a big fat Orange liar and most people will shrug. How can that be, you may ask, given the fact that Biden's brain is turning to mush? Well, here's my reasoning, based solely on guesses and many years of observation of how politics work in a general sense. Both candidates are known quantities. We know the good, the bad, and the ugly. Everybody has an opinion about Biden's decline, has seen at least a few videos of his verbal stumbles, knows that he dodders and is failing. There is very little he could do to either enhance or reverse the impressions that people already have developed. Even if he stumbles badly--short of a Mitch McConnell-type glitch--it will be almost expected. And, if he doesn't, people will exhale in relief--we are all expecting at least some bad stumbles--but not suddenly change our mind about his capabilities. Anybody who has had an elderly relative on the downslope already knows that there are good days and bad days. In any case, Biden will not be a dynamo and not suddenly display that razor-sharp mind, ability to do 100 push-ups, or the razor wit we are told he shows behind closed doors chatting with Pete Buttigieg. He will likely be more energetic than average due to all that Adderal or whatever, but there is only so much you can do. Trump? What is there to say? He will be Trump, perhaps a bit more muted, and perhaps exactly the same. He will certainly be muted by CNN in between questions, but he will be the combative personality everybody knows him to be. Trump haters will see what they always see--a dictator-in-waiting with a mystifying ability to mobilize people. He could be endorsed by Mother Teresa (God rest her soul), and they would assume she was channeling Adolf Hitler. {snip} Debates are not about issues; they are about feelings. Once you exclude the partisans who are analyzing every moment, looking for every advantage, actually interested in policy statements, or desperate for the winning "zinger," you are left with people who are trying to suss out the candidates' temperament. That's why post-debate focus groups sound so odd to political insiders--none of US is undecided; how could anybody be? Well, this time around, everybody already knows what they want or need to know about both candidates. In the general public, almost nobody cares because there is nothing to learn. What's left is political entertainment and curiosity about whether Biden will remain fully conscious. We already know that. So 3-5 days after the debate, it will have had no effect on the election calculus. CNN will get a ratings bump, you and I will get some fodder for discussion, and most voters will barely know or care that it happened. We will be left with the same question: how could you possibly vote for <insert candidate name here>?! Didn't you see how awful he performed? https://hotair.com/david-strom/2024/06/27/thoughts-on-tomorrows-debate-n3790992

Miss Maryland Contestants Speak Out About Transgender Winner DAVID STROM The Daily Signal's story about how women who competed against and lost to a trans-identifying male contestant is striking for a number of reasons, but the one that sticks out most to me is that, except for one of the contestants, everybody who spoke to Mary Margaret Olohan requested anonymity. That sums up our cultural moment as well as anything: women feel shut out of the conversation because they rightly expect to be excoriated and canceled for speaking up for themselves. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2024/06/27/miss-maryland-contestants-speak-out-about-transgender-winner-n3791003

Wow. Meanwhile:

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-859_1924.pdf In SEC v. Jarkesy, the court rules that when the SEC seeks civil penalties against a defendant for securities fraud, the Seventh Amendment entitles the defendant to a jury trial. The court framed the issue as whether the Seventh Amendment allows the SEC to compel Jarkesy to defend himself before the agency rather than before a jury in federal court. The court holds that when the SEC seeks civil penalties against a defendant for securities fraud, the Seventh Amendment entitles the defendant to a jury trial. The vote is 6-3. Sotomayor dissents, joined by Kagan and Jackson. https://www.scotusblog.com/
