Presidential Election Day 2024 Fraught With Unknowns

It is possible to research and recite the unvarnished facts regarding the Presidential election process and the candidates. Everything else being equal such facts would persuade even the dumbest voter that one candidate or the other is a potato head. But we do not live in a world where everything else is equal. In the real world there are known and unknown variables that will affect the Presidential election:

1) The IDEOLOGICAL base of the Democrat Party. Economic Fairness/Equity, Abortion, Climate "Crisis," DEI, the god of Democracy, Public Health, Gun Control, Cancel Culture, No Such Thing as an "illegal human being..." Blah, blah, blah. These are emotional issues impervious to facts and reason. Ideological Democrats would vote for a potato no problem. The question is: How many of your friends and neighbors fall into this category?

2) Trump Derangement Syndrome. Many, many Americans hate Trump with a passion. In their minds he lies about everything, abuses women, insults everyone from WWII veterans to the wheelchair bound, is a self-confessed, wannabe dictator... To voters suffering from TDS, a potato has more character and morals than Trump. I'm not saying TDS voters are wrong. I'm just saying.

3) The Mainstream Media. Squarely in the camp of the Progressives; willing to merge hard news with editorial opinion. More than willing to carry the water for The Powers That Be.

4) Social Media Bias/Censorship. Probably got Biden elected in 2020.

5) Massive Power Concentration in Government. Those in power tend to do whatever it takes to stay in power. The Republican Party is replete with Rino's and fat cats who would like to see a potato in charge if it would preserve their elite position in the status quo. What election mischief or betrayal is within their reach?

6) October Surprise. Those entrenched in power now are undeniably in a position to radically tilt the playing field. Russia, Russia, Russia anyone? War in Ukraine? Middle East? Pandemic 2?

7) Financial Meltdown. If what we all expect is coming arrives before November, all bets are off.

8) Election Fraud. I do not wear a tin hat, but I am not stupid. When the stakes are as high as they are, do not be surprised if a potato is re-elected by a flood of mail-in ballots arriving 4 days after the polls close -- despite the opinion polls, despite the potato's lack of campaigning, despite the potato's dementia. If all the efforts to register illegal aliens and fictional voters turns out not to be fiction, all of the election variables listed above will not matter in the least.

Biden "Concurs" with Sotomayor's Dissent on Supreme Court Immunity Ruling

Yesterday's 6-3 Supreme Court decision on Presidential Immunity has the Left throwing another Henny-penny tantrum. Once again it seems, progressive politicians in charge of the government are frozen in "fear for our democracy." On behalf of the Leftists on the Court, Justice Sotomayor wrote a 33-page sky-is-falling screed asserting that "the President is now a king above the law." 

Last night Joe Biden, the current sitting President who would be king, went on national TV to remind us that he holds "the most powerful office in the world." He assured us that he "concurs" with Sotomayer's dissent."

However, slurring words together in the manner of an 81-year-old codger, Biden warned: "Today's decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what the president can do. The power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law, even including the Supreme Court of the United States. The only limits will be self-imposed by the president alone."

I assume Biden was speaking hypothetically and doesn't really believe there are now no limits on what he can do as a would be king. On the other hand, he did make a point of telling us that up until now his actions as President have been constrained by the law. 

Really? Joe Biden turns out Executive Orders like there is no tomorrow. His Department of Justice regularly snubs Congressional subpoenas and colludes with prosecutors to bring lawfare cases against his political rivals. His Department of Homeland Security allows millions of unvetted aliens to stream illegally across our southern border to rape and pillage American citizens.  

Yet, this clueless liar-in-chief wants us to believe that he would never, ever abuse the power of the Presidency as a would be king. Why? Because he says he is a man who can be trusted. He looked straight into the TV cameras with his serious, black, sleepy eyes and swore that he is a man of George Washington-like character, a virtuous, honest man who deeply believes that no one is above the law...not even Hunter Biden's Big Guy who twisted the arms of oligarchs for fame and fortune in Ukraine.

Yeah. Right. Carry on, Your Majesty. We truly believe you will be a kind and benevolent king.
