Beginning with the 2020 Presidential Election, the Great Biden Magic Show has been playing out daily to the American public. This great magic show opened with Good Ole Joe Biden campaigning from his basement saving our Democracy with an improbable election win against the evil incumbent president, Donald Trump.
His second magic act was protecting the nation from the scourge of Covid 19 by shooting down the entire U.S. economy for a year and by enforcing COVID procedures throughout the government and elsewhere for another year. School children lost one to two years of their education, but not one American child was reported killed from COVID-19.
Brilliantly anticipating the downside of his Covid policies, President Biden flooded the economy with over two trillion dollars. Bidenomics supercharged the economy with inflation of over nine percent devastating lower-and middle-income families, but it fueled a bull stock market. This inflated the portfolios of the wealthy putting major smiles on their faces and causing donations to flow into Democratic party coffers.
This “greatest president since FDR” followed by saving the planet from the existential threat of global warming. One headline on June 9, 2024, from an article taken from The Washington Post highlighted this threat to humanity by asking: “Is the Earth becoming too hot to inhabit?” Biden’s NET ZERO 50 CARBON EMMISIONS Industrial Plan announced in 2021 has committed trillions of dollars to eliminate our use of fossil fuels for producing electrical energy, providing for all forms of transportation, and retooling manufacturing processes in less than thirty years.
However, by the late spring of 2024 in a two-week span, the Wall Street Journal was reporting that Biden’s GREEN Energy Plans were being rejected and stalling out in both the U.S. and Europe:
- The Fall of Germany’s Greens – Jun 11
- The ‘Climate Crisis’ Fades Out – Jun 11
- U.S. Faces Tough Choices on Clean Energy – Jun 18
- The ‘Green Energy Transition’ That Wasn’t – Jun 25
Politically, Biden’s 2024 re-election bid in June with Vice President Kamala Harris had won them the delegates to tie up the Democratic nomination against Donald Trump. Trump was running again for the Republicans despite numerous legal indictments by a Federal Special Prosecutor and local District Attorneys in Georgia and New York, with multiple convictions in the latter. What could possibly go wrong?
Unfortunately, magic shows are built around illusions, sleight of hand, glib narratives, misdirection, and outside assistants. When something goes amiss, the Magic Show crashes! The Biden Magic Show was always operating on the edge of credibility because Joe Biden, as the magician, no longer had the quick-footed, fast talking, congenial stage presence required to perform high intensity magic acts. His narratives no longer maintained coherence, often having to be ‘walked-back’ by staff. Off stage lackeys frequently had to clarify his narratives of questionable credibility.
The Biden Magic Show relied almost entirely on the misdirection centering around Donald Trump, who was now a “convicted felon”. The Finale Act was to be to the debate annihilation of Trump and hasten his disappearance into the ionosphere never to be seen again. The CNN June 26th debate stage was set with Biden’s rules, moderators, settings, and date. Surprisingly Trump accepted his debate terms immediately without amendment. Once the debate began, Biden’s implosion occurred quickly. First, Trump surprisingly played by the rules nicely. Second and most devastating, Biden’s cognitive age decline was painfully exposed during the first ten minutes of the debate. The images of his decline recurred sporadically as the debate continued.
Finally, Jill Biden was everywhere at her husband’s side. Visions emerged of a recurrence of Edith Wilson’s one-year and five-month faux presidency from October 1919 until March 1921. On Biden’s public appearances, she was always holding his hand and guiding him which way to turn – even at the end of the debate which CNN only showed only from a long distance.
GAME-SET-MATCH-TRUMP!
WRONG! Falling back on the political axiom ‘you never want a serious crisis go to waste’, Washington apparatchiks quickly began fashioning a second magic act to replace the one that had ominously imploded for the world to see on CNN. They recognized that their voters wanted to believe the illusions they had carefully developed through their monopoly on all government communications, media, higher education indoctrination, social media, and Hollywood mores. “Because ‘you can’t handle the truth’, just wait until our new Magic Show is unfurled” was the implied message from the show managers.
At this writing, the new show details are still to be decided by the principal power brokers and donors. They briefly tested out that Biden just had a bad night, a bad cold, and jet lag to see if his candidacy could be preserved. Kamala Harris was next extolled as the logical replacement despite her low approval ratings and, as written on July 3rd in the WSJ, one who ‘speaks almost exclusively in gibberish, seems to possess no political or administrative skill….and achieved the feat of exceeding her bosses unpopularity’.
All of this could have been avoided if Biden’s dementia had been acknowledged by the Washington insiders. The eight-person CNN post-debate panel spoke as if this was all new information. The information has been available for over a year to any who was willing to believe their own eyes and ears. Where is their accountability?
In the meantime, candidate Trump has so far somehow managed to stay out of the news and keep his mouth quiet. So, stay tuned for the next Magic Show – it is still a long time before the November election.
