Victor Reacts: Joe Biden is COOKED and Sinking the Democrat Party (VIDEO)

Christmas must have come early as Joe Biden, despite getting trampled in the debate, has announced that not only will he refuse to drop out of the race but he wants to do a second debate!

The Gateway Pundit reported,

In the wake of a widely criticized debate performance on Thursday night, there have been growing calls from left-wing politicians, commentators, and activists for Joe Biden to step down in favor of a candidate not rumored to be suffering from a form of dementia.

However, it appears that Biden remains resolute in his decision to stay in the race.

Biden, who is currently the oldest sitting U.S. president at 81, will return to the debate stage in September. This decision came to light when CNN’s senior White House correspondent Kayla Tausche reported on Friday, quoting an adviser close to Biden, according to the New York Post.

Despite concerns from within his own party, Biden is also not considering dropping out of the race, according to The Guardian.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this month that Democrats have a secret plan to replace feeble Joe Biden if he falters in his initial debate with Trump or if his poll ratings continue to decline.

A concerted effort by Democratic heavyweights such as Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer would be required to persuade Biden to step down—a scenario described as high risk by a Democratic strategist speaking to DailyMail.com.

There is simply no recovering from what happened at the first debate. Joe Biden is single-handedly sinking the entire Democrat party. The next few months could be very interesting.

The End of ‘Macronism’ in France sends Globalist Media Into a Panic, as Snap Legislative Elections Set to Hand Power to Marine Le Pen’s Right Wing RN Party

Globalist poster boy and former Rothschild banker, French President Emmanuel Macron is a political survival expert, and during seven years in power his ‘escape artist’ powers saw him through multiple crisis, from Yellow Jackets season of marches, to the racial riots, to the major political unrest caused by his dictatorial change of pension plans bypassing the Legislative, to the long mobilization of French farmers against his Globalist inane policies.

But now, at long last, it does seem that the snap elections he called will usher in his demise as an effective leader, and he is to serve the remainder of his second term – until 2027 – as a lame duck President.

And the Globalist MSM is feeling the blow, with a multitude of articles just about everywhere about Macron’s downfall.

Bot WaPo and Financial Times have articles with the same ‘End of Macronism’ in their headlines.

The Washington Post notes that ‘the once-unthinkable now seems an imminent reality’.

The right is widely expected to become the largest party in France’s parliament.

The National Rally is to emerge with the biggest bloc of seats, followed by rival coalition of the French left, and leaving the party loyal to French President Emmanuel Macron in a distant third place.

“After his party suffered a humiliating defeat in European parliamentary elections at the beginning of this month, the French president took a hubristic gamble: He dissolved parliament, blindsiding some of his closest allies, and called for fresh legislative elections.

[…] Almost immediately, it seemed Macron’s decision to call the election backfired. On one side of the political spectrum, it led to the creation of a left-wing alliance, spanning from the far left to the center-left Socialists to whom Macron once belonged, under a grouping called the New Popular Front. On the other, the traditional center-right party convulsed after its leader sought an alliance with the ascendant National Rally. Both major right and left blocs are certain to outperform Macron’s party, which has almost no chance of establishing a parliamentary majority.”

Under his rule, France was kicked out of several former African colonies.

There have been ‘cohabitations’ in France between politically-opposed presidents and prime ministers, but this time it promises to be an explosive mix.

“Macron and his highhanded political style may be directly to blame, and so too his inability to forge a genuine grass-roots movement under his banner. ‘He was perceived as imperial, ‘Jupiterian,’ acting without consultation, while his reluctance to use redistribution to reduce inequality fed a perception that he was the president of the rich’, wrote French economist Olivier Blanchard. ‘In the absence of viable alternatives on the center-left and center-right, voters were attracted to the extremes, with populists on the far right vilifying immigrants, and populists on the far left, reflecting a long-standing French Marxist tradition, railing against the rich’.”

He was reelected as president in 2022 without his parliamentary majority. His base of support dwindled his popularity took a nose-dive.

And, of course, his failed, crippling Globalist policies are felt dearly by the citizens.

“Despite saying he would stay out of the fray for the parliamentary election, Macron has been tacitly campaigning at every opportunity. In a podcast interview Monday, he said both the far right and far left promote ‘civil war’ in the country, calling out the former’s antipathy to migrants and the latter’s supposed pandering to Muslim voters.

‘When you are fed up, and daily life is hard, you can be tempted to vote for the extremes that have quicker solutions. But the solution will never be to reject others’, Macron said.”

Desperation kicks in the Globalist MSM.

At the same time, the Financial Times notes how he failed I his initial goal when first elected of ‘releasing France from the lure of the far right’.

“The president, then 39, and his cadre of bright, optimistic aides — dubbed the ‘Mormons’ — aimed to rejuvenate France’s economy and international standing, champion the EU and transcend the left-right divide in politics.

‘If we do not get a grip, whether it be in a few months, in five or 10 years, the Front National will be in power,” wrote Macron in ’Revolution’, his manifesto written before the 2017 election’.”

Seven years later, Marine Le Pen is closer than she has ever been to being President, and her rebranded Rassemblement National party is surging.

“The arrival of Macronism — and its central tenet of dépassement, seizing policy ideas and talent from all sides — swept aside the traditional left and right parties. But his time in office has coincided with a boom in support for extreme parties — the RN and far-left La France Insoumise (LFI).”

THIS IS FINE: Chaos reigns as Macron is unable or unwilling to meet the security challenges of his country.

Rivals say that Macron ‘dissolved himself as well as parliament’, and hail the news: ‘Macronism is over’.

“It was not just crises that eroded Macron’s popularity but the manner in which he governed. The lengthy town hall meetings he held as part of the so-called big debate helped defuse public anger during the gilets jaunes [Yellow Jackets] crisis — and exemplified his campaign promise to take a more consultative approach.  But for the most part there was very little sharing of power — even with his own colleagues. ‘A government has to be a team. There is no team’, said one former government member. ‘He doesn’t like his ministers’.”

Some say Macron imposed a ‘hyper-presidential’ style, others say ‘Le Petit Roi’ was just a very small tyrant.

Macron’s allies now have to pray that when the RN takes the premiership they will stumble badly in government ‘inoculating’ France against electing Le Pen in 2027.

Massive U.S. Pharmacy Chain to Close ‘Significant Share’ of Stores as Locations Struggle

Walgreens will be closing what The Wall Street Journal reports will be a “significant share” of its approximately 8,600 U.S. stores.

The Journal report, from an interview with Walgreens Boots Alliance Chief Executive Officer Tim Wentworth, quoted Wentworth as saying Walgreens would close a “meaningful percent” of underperforming stores over the next several years.

Wentworth indicated Walgreens will also be reducing its investment in Village MD, a primary care provider.

“We recognize where we are is a turnaround,” Wentworth said. “We recognize that we need to be focused on what are the parts of the business that we believe are contributing and have a future, and some of those need to change.”

The CEO of the 123-year-old chain, who began his role with Walgreens in October, said “retail pharmacy is central to our future and to our overall customer and patient experience. It enables many other things, but it has to change.”

Stores that are close to one another will be at the top of the list for closing, Wentworth indicated.

Theft also remains an issue, he indicated.

Walgreens will seek partnerships with cities to save stores through “investing in public safety so that our customers and employees feel safe,” Wentworth added.

Wentworth said staff will be reassigned where possible.

“We don’t see this as an employee reduction, we see this as a footprint reduction,” he explained.

On Thursday, Walgreens revealed that sales at stores open for at least one year fell 2.3 percent from last year’s level.  Profits took a hit from promotions to attract customers and from theft, according to Fox Business.

“We continue to face a difficult operating environment, including persistent pressures on the U.S. consumer and the impact of recent marketplace dynamics which have eroded pharmacy margins,” Wentworth said.

Walgreens now projects that its fiscal 2024 full-year adjusted earnings will be in the range of $2.80 to $2.95 per share, which is lower than its former estimate of $3.20 to $3.35 a share.

As a result, Walgreens share prices dropped more than 20 percent, according to CNBC.

“Seventy-five percent of our stores drive 100% of our profitability today,” Wentworth said. “What that means is the others we take a hard look at, we are going to finalize a number that we will close.”

“We assumed … in the second half that the consumer would get somewhat stronger” but “that is not the case,” Wentworth said.

“The consumer is absolutely stunned by the absolute prices of things, and the fact that some of them may not be inflating doesn’t actually change their resistance to the current pricing. So we’ve had to get really keen, particularly in discretionary things,” he said.

Barstool’s Dave Portnoy Says Dems Planned Debate Fail to Install Newsom: ‘Sent Biden out For Slaughter’

Barstool’s Dave Portnoy believes that Democrats planned Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance so they could get rid of him and install California Governor Gavin Newsom instead.

Biden’s performance was so abysmal that even his strongest allies have conceded that he may need to step down.

“The Democrats had to know that,” Portnoy said in a video discussing the debate.

Emergency Press Conference – The Dems Sent Biden out For Slaughter pic.twitter.com/SxwzJb5cKr

— Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) June 28, 2024

Portnoy continued, “Why would you agree to a debate with Biden at this stage — the earliest debate of all time — when you know he’s gone, when you know he can’t speak, when you know he’s a vegetable? Because they wanna whack him… They know he is not going to be the nominee.

“I said this 10 months ago, 11 months ago, when Gavin Newsom — and go look who’s trending: Gavin Newsom. When Gavin Newsom was in China being an idiot, playing basketball against these little kids, he steamrolls one of them, then like molests him after. I’m like, ‘This guy’s gonna run for president.’ It’s so obvious. Why is a governor taking a tour of the world? For what purpose? Because he knew and the Democrats have known Joe Biden is gone.”

Biden has remained adamant that he will still be doing the second debate in September and has no intention of stepping aside.

CNN’s White House correspondent Kayla Tausche posted on X on Friday, “Not only does @POTUS not plan to drop out, Biden remains committed to a second debate in September, an adviser tells me.”

Popular Gay Porn Star Arrested for Sharing and Receiving Hardcore Pornography of Children and INFANTS

Popular gay porn star “Austin Wolf” has been arrested for sharing and receiving hardcore pornography of children and infants.

One of the videos featured a 10-year-old child tied up and raped.

The 43-year-old sex worker’s real name is Justin Heath Smith.

BREAKING: Austin Wolf, popular gay porn star, arrested on charges of child pornography

Authorities said Smith, 43, used a Telegram account to exchange the pornography with another user, which they later found stored on a memory card at his New York City apartment.

In a press release on Friday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York said Smith had been arrested and “charged with sending and receiving hundreds of videos of child pornography via the Telegram application. Those videos depicted children as young as infants, including a video showing a 10-year-old child bound and raped.”

In addition to sending the child sex abuse material via Telegram, the porn star has also been charged with “possessing hundreds of additional videos containing child pornography in his Manhattan apartment.”

Horrific. The DOJ just arrested adult p**n actor Justin Heath Smith, also known as “Austin Wolf,” for allegedly sending and receiving p**nogr*ph*c images of children and infants.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement, “As alleged, Justin Heath Smith received and distributed hundreds of recordings containing child pornography, including a ghastly video showing a young child bound, beaten, and raped. Our investigation into Smith is ongoing, and we urge anyone with information about Smith’s conduct to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI. Together with our law enforcement partners, we will relentlessly pursue those predators who victimize children and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.”

According to the criminal complaint:

Between March 24 and March 28, 2024, SMITH, using an anonymous Telegram account, exchanged hundreds of videos containing child pornography with another individual whose phone was later seized and searched by the FBI pursuant to a search warrant.

An undercover FBI agent subsequently began a conversation with SMITH’s anonymous Telegram account. In the course of those conversations, SMITH revealed details that confirmed his identity.

On April 21, 2024, the FBI executed a search warrant at SMITH’s Manhattan apartment, which revealed an SD card with hundreds of videos containing child pornography.

Smith has been charged with one count of distribution and receipt of child pornography, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, and one count of possession of child pornography, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

“I want to make it clear: those who distribute child sexual abuse images prey upon the most vulnerable in our society,” FBI Assistant Director in Charge James Smith said in a statement. “Each image is a crime scene, leaving lasting scars on innocent victims. The FBI is relentless in our pursuit of these perpetrators. We will track them down, arrest them, and ensure they face justice for the harm they cause.”

SCOTUS Denies Steve Bannon’s Bid to Remain Free Pending Appeal – Will Allow Democrats to Lock Up Most Important Media Personality for 4 Months Prior to 2024 Election

BANANA REPUBLIC.

The US Supreme Court on Friday released a statement denying Steve Bannon’s application to Chief Justice Robert’s for release pending appeal.

The Supremes knocked it down.

Via @OperDJT

Next to Donald Trump, Steve Bannon is the leading voice in the MAGA movement.

Now that FOX News has become a shadow of itself, The War Room is the most important conservative and Pro-Trump news program in the country today.

Everyone knows this.

Last week Steve Bannon lost his appeal to delay the July 1 start of his criminal contempt-of-Congress prison sentence starting in July.

The far left US DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Bannon. Bannon, the former Chief Strategist to former President Donald Trump, then sought the intervention of the US Supreme Court.

Democrats want to ensure that Steve Bannon is jailed for the four months prior to the US 2024 presidential election – the most important election in the last 150 years!

They fear his voice.

We can’t let this happen! Next to Donald Trump, Steve Bannon is the leading voice in the MAGA movement.

Pray for Steve Bannon. Pray for your country.

RFK Jr. Says He’s Open to The Idea of Replacing Biden on Democrat Ticket

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced he’s open to the idea of replacing Biden on the Democratic presidential ticket.

In an interview with News Nation, host Chris Cuomo said the Biden campaign is in “free fall” and that placing Kennedy as the Democratic nominee could really solve the party’s problems.

Cuomo asked Kennedy, “Would you be open to talking to them if they reached out to you?”

Kennedy responded, “Of course I would talk to them. It would put me on the ballot with nobody trying to get me off.”

On Thursday night, Kennedy hosted his own debate because he was not invited to CNN’s debate because he did not meet the network’s electorate threshold.

Per Newsweek:

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. addressed the possibility of replacing President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee.

Kennedy, who previously challenged Biden in the Democratic primary before changing his party affiliation to independent, was pressed by NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo about whether he would be open to replacing Biden as the nominee.

Cuomo said Biden is “in freefall,” and that Kennedy being the Democratic nominee could “really solve their problems and yours at the same time.”

He asked: “Would you be open to talking to them if they reached out to you?”

WHOA! Joe Biden Admits He Is Feeble After Disastrous Debate

Joe Biden on Friday admitted he is old and feeble after Thursday night’s humiliating debate performance.

Joe Biden on Friday held a campaign rally in North Carolina after he absolutely bombed at Thursday night’s debate against President Trump.

81-Year-old Joe Biden completely fell apart Thursday night. He glitched, froze up, stumbled through his words and had to be led off the state by nurse Jill.

Biden did so poorly Thursday evening that even CNN was melting down.

Calls for Biden to be replaced are growing and the knives are out for Jill Biden.

The far-left Daily Beast highlighted Jill Biden’s cruelty for abusing her elder husband and called on her to step it up and help oust Joe Biden.

After Thursday night’s debate disaster Joe Biden had no choice but to admit he is feeble. He still refuses to step aside. Biden is staying in the race and vowed to debate Trump again.

“Folks, I might not walk as easily or talk as smoothly as I used to,” Biden said on X. “I might not debate as well as I used to.”

“But what I do know is how to tell the truth,” he added.

Obama Breaks Silence on Biden’s Debate Performance, “Bad Debate Nights Happen”

Former President Barack Obama broke his silence on Friday afternoon and made his first remarks regarding Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance.

Obama wrote in a post on X, “Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know.”

He continued, “But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself.”

“Between someone who tells the truth, who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit,” added Obama.

The 44th President concluded his post by writing, “Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November.”

He then added a link to Joe Biden’s campaign donation site.

Despite Obama backing Biden, many of Obama’s former aids have been sounding the alarm.

Per The Hill:

A number of former aides to President Obama were sounding the alarm following President Biden’s disappointing debate against former President Trump.
Former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe called it a “DEFCON 1 moment” during an appearance Thursday night on MSNBC.

“And I think that’s a tragedy, because I think Trump had so many openings that you could have just scissored him up on tonight,” he said.

“Obviously that debate was a f‑‑‑ing disaster,” former Obama administration speechwriter and “Pod Save America” co-host Jon Favreau posted Friday morning on the social platform X. “We have to beat Donald Trump. We have to have a nominee who can do that.”

Former First Lady Michelle Obama is also not so keen on Biden.

Presidential Debate Ratings Are in — Most Watched Program in CNN History

The ratings are in, and the debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump has become the most-watched program in CNN’s history.

CNN announced on Friday that the debate was watched by 48 million viewers on television.

Mediaite reports, “It was also the network’s largest live-streamed event. There were a number of ways to watch the debate with other networks like Fox News and MSNBC simulcasting. The event also livestreamed through the Max streaming service.”

The report added:

According to early Nielsen ratings, CNN’s debate brought in 47.9 million viewers, including 12.6 million in the key 25-54 age demographic. The network announced it was the biggest day on record for both CNN and Max, doubling the last record. Thursday’s debate was broadcast from CNN’s studios in Atlanta, Georgia.

The total television viewers is still a far cry from past debates. The first debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton in 2016 brought in a record 84 million watchers while Trump’s first debate with Biden in 2020 drew 73 million.

Not everybody was watching through CNN and its companion platforms. A total of 8.7 million watched the debate on CNN, scoring three million viewers in the 25-54 demo. When counted with companion networks HLN and CNNE, a total of 9.04 million watched the debate with approximately 50,000 tuning into CNNE and more than 250,000 at HLN.

Another 8.8 million watched the debate on Fox News and just under four million watched on MSNBC.
