Dementia Joe’s Days Are Numbered… The Economist Publishes BRUTAL Cover, Tosses Old Joe Under the Bus

Posted on by

The Economist, the globalist magazine of choice, just kicked Old Joe Biden to the curb. They ignored Joe’s obvious dementia for years.

The Economist, tossed Joe Biden under the bus on Independence Day.

Their new cover reads “No way to run a country” with the photo of a walker with the presidential seal.
Their report begins:

The presidential debate was awful for Joe Biden, but the cover-up has been worse. It was agony to watch a befuddled old man struggling to recall words and facts. His inability to land an argument against a weak opponent was dispiriting. But the operation by his campaign to deny what tens of millions of Americans saw with their own eyes is more toxic than either, because its dishonesty provokes contempt.

The globalist warmongers who read this prestigious journal have known about Joe Biden’s dementia for years. But suddenly, after Donald Trump beat Old Joe soundly in the CNN presidential debate, the international left is even coming out against America’s worst president.

They act as if they are surprised!

These people can never be trusted. They will lie to you and gaslight you until it is absolutely necessary for them to report the obvious.

However, The Economist did not show any love for President Trump in their Biden-bashing cover story.

The Huffington Post reported:

The cover story — titled “Why Biden Must Withdraw” — described Biden’s first presidential debate performance as “awful” and “agony to watch.”

But the “cover-up has been worse,” it continued, slamming the Biden campaign’s contempt-provoking bid to “deny what tens of millions of Americans saw with their own eyes.”

It’s right that Democrats “have begun to call openly for him to step aside,” the essay said. Biden and presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump “offer a choice between the incapable and the unspeakable. Americans deserve better,” it added.

In Rare Move, U.N. Opens Investigation Into Anti-Israel Official

The Gateway Pundit reported that in a legal complaint filed in June, the watchdog group U.N. Watch accused the Human Rights Council’s special rapporteur on the Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, of  “gross violations of U.N. rules and professional ethics” for being sponsored and supported by Hamas-tied lobbying groups for a 2023 trip to Australia and New Zealand.

Albanese is in charge of investigating “Israel’s violations of the bases and principles of international law” for the United Nations.

According to the complaint filed to U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres and High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türkwith, Albanese allegedly accepted honorariums and payments from activist and advocacy groups violating the U.N. code of conduct.

Albanese has a history of antisemitic, anti-Israel comments.

She has also claimed that Israel has no right of self-defense after the Hamas terrorists on October 7.

Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch, said, “Francesca Albanese’s unethical financial practices are a gross violation of UN rules. The United Nations should take immediate action to investigate these allegations and hold her accountable.”

Reports now reveal that, in a rare move, the United Nations has launched an investigation into Albanese.

The role of special rapporteur is a volunteer position technically independent of the United Nations. Expenses are to be paid for out of a designated budget, and acceptance of payments, including those for travel and honorariums, from “any governmental or non-governmental source” for “activities carried out in pursuit” of the special rapporteur’s mandate is strictly prohibited.

The U.N. Watch complaint alleges Albanese violated the UN code of conduct by illegally requesting payments for work done in her official capacity and argues that she circumvented the prohibition on accepting remuneration by directing honorariums to be paid to her research assistant.Correspondence cited by UN Watch in the complaint shows Albanese’s assistant, Sara Troian, requesting payment for a lecture on Albanese’s behalf.

Neuer said, “Francesca Albanese’s unethical financial practices are a gross violation of UN rules. The United Nations should take immediate action to investigate these allegations and hold her accountable.”

The complaint also includes communications from one of Albanese’s volunteer assistants requesting that an honorarium offered be directed to an unnamed research institute that supports Albanese’s office’s work.

Further, the complaint alleges that a Palestinian lobby group sponsored Albanese’s November 2023 trip to Australia, with a cost in excess of $20,000. Travel for special rapporteurs, according to U.N. Watch, is supposed to be paid for by the United Nations. Accepting sponsorship from lobby groups is prohibited.

While Albanese has disputed the allegations, she has yet to provide evidence to counter the assumptions and the Australian Friends of Palestine Association, or AFOPA, stated on its own website that the group had  “sponsored” Albanese’s visit.

Officers responded to a shooting at around 2:30 a.m. at a home off Steves Avenue, where police said a group of men had fired gun shots into the backyard.

After arriving at the scene, police found a 17-year-old who had been shot in the arm, and were informed that two other men in their 30s had also been hit. The men had suffered wounds to the abdomen, and one had also been hit in the shoulder and leg.

The three victims were transported to hospital, with two in a stable condition and one in a serious condition, according to local news outlet KENS 5.

Four men were subsequently detained in connection with the incident, the San Antonio Police Department told KENS 5.

Fox San Antonio reported that before the teenager and two men were shot, a group of men were seen walking around the East Side of San Antonio shooting guns.

Investigators further revealed the same group of men walked up into the backyard where the victims were staying and fired shots at them.

Authorities have not released a motive for the shootings.

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Wednesday, the FBI and DHS have warned Americans to stay vigilant as they attend Fourth of July celebrations.

A July 4th Address for the Ages

Posted on by
By Francis P. Sempa
Real Clear Wire

Two years before he formulated the ideas for the Monroe Doctrine, then-Secretary of State John Quincy Adams was asked to give the annual Independence Day address in the United States Capitol. It became what historian Samuel Flagg Bemis called a landmark document in the history of American foreign policy.

Two years before he formulated the ideas for the Monroe Doctrine, then-Secretary of State John Quincy Adams was asked to give the annual Independence Day address in the United States Capitol. It became what historian Samuel Flagg Bemis called a landmark document in the history of American foreign policy. Its message continues to resonate in modern debates about U.S. foreign policy.

Before getting into the details of Adams’ address, some background about Adams and 1821 (the year he delivered the speech) is necessary. John Quincy Adams was the son of John Adams, one of the driving forces behind America’s independence and the nation’s second president. Young John Quincy accompanied his father in diplomatic posts in France, and later served as private secretary to Francis Dana in Russia. Young Adams also had served as his father’s private secretary during the negotiations of the Treaty of Paris (1783) that ended the War of Independence. He was appointed by President George Washington as U.S. Minister Resident to the Netherlands in 1794. He served in that same position in Prussia during his father’s presidency. President Madison named John Quincy U.S. Minister to Russia in 1809, and he served in that position until 1814, as the Napoleonic Wars were coming to a close. He chaired the U.S. delegation that negotiated the Treaty of Ghent which ended the War of 1812 with Great Britain, and later served as U.S. Minister to Great Britain in the aftermath of Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo. President James Monroe appointed John Quincy as Secretary of State. In 1824, Adams won the disputed presidential election in the House of Representatives, where he bested military hero Andrew Jackson. (Jackson would later claim that Adams won the presidency in a “corrupt bargain” with Henry Clay, whom Adams appointed as Secretary of State).

The historical background to his July 4th oration included revolutions in South America and Central and Eastern Europe, including Greece. There was much sentiment in the United States for providing support to what were thought of as democratic revolutions similar to our own War of Independence. Advocates of American intervention in other countries included such prominent statesmen as Henry Clay and Daniel Webster.

John Quincy Adams had seen this before, when during the Washington administration influential figures such as Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson urged U.S. support for revolutionary France in its wars with Great Britain. Adams observed the skillful diplomacy of President Washington and Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton in declaring neutrality in the European wars. Adams also agreed with President Washington’s sentiments expressed in his Farewell Address, especially Washington’s counsel to avoid permanent alliances and to base American foreign policy on interests instead of sentiment.

In his brief July 4, 1821 address, Adams acknowledged America’s example of “the inexstinguishable rights of human nature,” the lawful foundations” of America’s government, and “liberty, equal justice and . . . equal rights.” The principles of the Declaration of Independence, however, should not impact America’s relations with other powers. He then set forth what has become almost the bible of foreign policy realism. America, he said,

has . . . without a single exception, respected the independence of         

other nations while asserting and maintaining her own. She has  

abstained from interference in the concerns of others, even when      

conflict has been for principles to which she clings, as to the last vital

drop that visits the heart. She has seen that probably for centuries to

come, all the contests of that . . . European world, will be contests of

inveterate power and emerging right. Wherever the standard of

freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will

her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. But she goes not

abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to

the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and

vindicator only of her own. She will commend the general cause

by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of

her example. She well knows that by once enlisting under other

banners than her own, were they even banners of foreign     

independence, would involve herself beyond the power of

extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual

avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the

standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would

insensibly change from liberty to force. She might become the

dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own

spirit. America’s glory is not dominion, but liberty. Her march is

the march of the mind. She has a spear and a shield: but the motto

upon her shield is, Freedom, Independence, Peace. This has been

Her Declaration: this has been . . . her practice.

Each time the United States has strayed from this wise counsel, we have met with tragedy and usually failure. The most recent examples are the interventions in the Balkans in the 1990s, and Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya (and the whole Arab Spring) in the 21st century, where we went abroad to destroy monsters and suffered from endless wars, tragedy, and failed foreign policies. We appear to be making the same mistakes in Ukraine, where our intervention (and NATO’s) will not produce a Ukrainian victory but may lead to a much wider and much deadlier European War.

This 4th of July as we celebrate our independence, we should reflect not only on the Declaration of Independence but also on the wise and prudent counsel uttered by John Quincy Adams more than 100 years ago.

THE DAM IS BREAKING: Second House Democrat Calls on Biden Drop Out, Says He Has a ‘Responsbility’ to Step Aside

Posted on by

A second Democratic Congressman has suggested that Joe Biden should withdraw from the 2024 presidential race after his calamitous debate performance last week.

Amid growing panic among the left about Biden’s rapidly declining cognitive abilities, growing numbers of Democrats are now publicly calling on the 81-year-old to call it quits.

The latest to do so is Arizona Rep. Raúl Grijalva, who told The New York Times that Biden has a “responsibility” to the party to step aside.

“If he’s the candidate, I’m going to support him, but I think that this is an opportunity to look elsewhere,” Grijalva said. “What he needs to do is shoulder the responsibility for keeping that seat — and part of that responsibility is to get out of this race.”

— Brahm Resnik (@brahmresnik) July 3, 2024

Grijalva’s remarks come after Texas Rep. Lloyd Doggett became the first Democratic Congressman to urge Biden to leave the race as polls indicate that Donald Trump could win the presidential election by a landslide.

“My decision to make these strong reservations public is not done lightly nor does it in any way diminish my respect for all that President Biden has achieved,” Doggett said in a statement.

“Recognizing that, unlike Trump, President Biden’s first commitment has always been to our country, not himself, I am hopeful that he will make the painful and difficult decision to withdraw.”

Meanwhile, Reuters, reported on Wednesday that around 25 Congressional Democrats are on the verge of calling on old Joe to make way for another candidate, with one aide pointing out that it “looks like the dam has broken.”

“There are 25 Democratic members of the House of Representatives preparing to call for Biden to step aside if he seems shaky in coming days, according to one House Democratic aide,” the agency reported.
“A second House Democratic aide said moderate House Democrats in competitive districts – often called “frontliners” – were getting hammered with questions in their districts this week.”

Leo Hohmann: Globalist Front Man Klaus Schwab Tells Elitist Followers They Must ‘Force’ Humanity into a World Ruled by AI and Other Dehumanizing Technologies

Posted on by

This article originally appeared on Leo Hohmann’s Substack and was republished with permission.

World Economic Forum founder and director Klaus Schwab, speaking at the WEF’s recently concluded summer meeting in China, has informed his elitist followers that ushering in the globalist agenda will require humanity to be “forced” into a “collaboration” with the unelected organization. And the time for forced collaboration has now arrived.

Schwab made the declaration during his opening remarks at the WEF’s Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as the “Summer Davos,” in Dalian, China.

He praised China for its economic policies, which are seen by the globalists as the model of top-down centralized planning in a high-tech surveillance state run through smart cities, smart EVs, smart homes, smart appliances, smart meters, AI, digital IDs and CBDCs, all of which hold one thing in common — they come with on-off switches not under the control of the end user, which is we the people. In their ideal world, we live as slaves at the privilege of our masters. We get out of line, they can cut off our electric power, our electric car, our electronic digital money, everything.

Schwab told the elitist participants gathered in China that they must “force” humanity into a “collaboration” with the unelected WEF. This is why Schwab told his globalist comrades at a previous meeting two years ago to expect an “angrier world.” When you force people to live in ways that controvert their best interests, it tends to make them angry! They know their policies related to a green economy, perpetual wars, severe restrictions on travel, farming, eating meat and a host of other activities considered crucial to a middle-class lifestyle will be extremely unpopular and cause civil wars on top of the world war they already have planned.

Remember, as the 2023 World Governments summit, the globalists told us that there would need to be a “shock” event in order to usher in a new world order. Now they’re being even more honest and telling us that we will be FORCED to accept their new world order.

Schwab stated:

“To drive future economic growth we must embrace innovation and force the collaboration across sectors, regions, nations, and cultures to create a more peaceful, inclusive, sustainable, and resilient future. At this critical juncture the active participation of all stakeholders is essential to ensure a sustainable development path.”

Of course the biggest stakeholders of all, those paying taxes to fund governments, have no seat at the table in Schwab’s elitist meetings. And that’s by design. We are seen by these globalist predators as useless eaters, part of a herd that needs to be culled in order to preserve global resources for themselves. That’s what Malthusians believe.

Below is another clip where Schwab touts the so-called “Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies” such as artificial intelligence. This is why they don’t need as many of us on the planet as in the past. AI will perform most of the tasks for the elites. They don’t need as many human slaves.

“Risks & opportunities co-exist.. Breakthroughs from the fourth industrial revolution provide new opportunities for global prosperity and growth” Klaus Schwab at the WEF #AMNC24 Summer Davos pic.twitter.com/jTcTMLaV9L

— Tim Hinchliffe (@TimHinchliffe) June 25, 2024

Schwab returned to the topic of the Fourth Industrial Revolution while doubling down on the theme of this year’s meeting, that there are “limits to growth.” In globalist-speak, “limits to growth” is code for “activate depopulation agenda.”

“The theme of this annual meeting is ‘Next Frontiers For Growth,’ but actually what we have seen in the presentations there are now Limits to Growth, provided we use technologies of the fourth industrial revolution in a wise manner” Klaus Schwab at the WEF #AMNC24 Summer Davos pic.twitter.com/SJDT5rLgIO

— Tim Hinchliffe (@TimHinchliffe) June 25, 2024

Limits to Growth is the title of a key globalist tome published by the Club of Rome in 1972. One of the co-authors, Dennis Meadows, said six years ago in an interview that the world’s population must be reduced from the current 8 billion down to 1 or 2 billion. Meadows said he hopes this massive depopulation could be done in a “peaceful way.”

Club of Rome member and co-author of ‘The Limits to Growth’, Dennis Meadows, offers an insight into the totalitarian, anti-human, depopulation obsessed mindset of globalist technocrats, masquerading behind the façade of environmentalism.

Full interview: https://t.co/UKxKYucCQy… pic.twitter.com/8YklKY8Wdk

— Wide Awake Media (@wideawake_media) May 1, 2023

Notice, Meadows says he would like to see a “smart dictatorship” brought upon the earth. This is the global technocracy in which people’s lives are ruled by scientists, engineers and other “experts.” Politicians, if they even exist under this vision for humanity, will be figureheads only. We already see that happening. Does anyone think Joe Biden is actually in charge of anything? And yet, this is the man we are told we elected to represent us in 2020. Anyone who believes Biden is making his own decisions, or has made any important decisions from day one, is fundamentally gullible and deceived. He is a Manchurian candidate and has been from day one, and because he has become senile to the point where his globalist handlers are no longer able to hide it, they are ready to replace him with a new puppet. The new puppet will look prettier and speak smoother, but he/she will no more be in charge of his or her actions as president than Biden has been.

Orbán: Zelensky “Not Happy” with Ceasefire Proposal – Zelensky Challenges Trump to Present Peace Plan – Zakharova: “Washington Will Continue Sacrificing their Allies to Defeat Russia”

Posted on by

 

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova

 

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán described Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s reaction to his proposal of a cease fire during his visit to Kiev as “not very happy”. Zelensky challenged President Donald Trump to lay out his plan for peace in Ukraine. Russian Spokeswoman Maria Zakharaova said that Washington would continue sacrificing their allies in hopes of “inflicting a strategic defeat” on Moscow.

Orbán said Zelensky “was not very happy with the idea, he has had bad experiences with previous ceasefires”.

Zelensky understood Hungary’s position and “explained his limits”, Orbán said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky challenged US President Donald Trump to lay out his plans to end the Ukraine war “in 24 hours”.

In last week’s debate against Joe Biden, Trump claimed he would end the bloody war even before assuming office.

“I would like to know what it would mean to finish a war fast,” Zelensky said: “If Trump knows how to end this war, he should tell us today, because if there are risks to Ukraine’s independence, and there are risks that we will lose our statehood, we want to be prepared for this.”

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharaova said the United States is willing to sacrifice their allies for the hope of beating Russia on the battlefield.

Any discussions  Western nations have about peace are just “decoys, screens, tropes and memes,” Zakharova said on her weekly radio show Wednesday.

The goal of the Ukraine conflict is “inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia,” as the US and its allies have declared “absolutely clearly and specifically,” Zakharova said. The West wants  to dismantle Russia and end its existence, she claimed.

“What did you expect from the people chosen by the US as their tools? Tools don’t have a say in what they do” Zakharova said.

Level-headed western politicians can see the place given to their nations in the US plan, namely “sacrificial animal on the altar of victory against Russia,” Zakharova said.

Europe’s grim future is evident in the state of its economy, Zakharova claimed. ”What is happening to Europe is not just a crisis, or collapse, or loss of position. It truly is a disaster”.

On Tuesday, Jean Pierre also said Biden had not been examined by a doctor (White House transcript excerpt):

Q Was he taking any medication that would have interfered with his performance?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: He was not taking any cold medication. That is what I can speak to. I’ve asked the doc- — his doctor, and that’s what he stated to us.

Q After the debate, did the president get exam-ed by a doctor, or did he get a neurological scan?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: A neurological scan? Look, what I can say is that — just to take a step back, it was a bad night. We understand that it was a bad night. And the president has spoken to this, and he understands that.

And so, I cannot speak to anything beyond what I just shared. The president has regular annual physicals that we release in a thorough report. We’re going to continue to do that. I don’t have anything else beyond that.

Q So, was the last time he was seen by a doctor, then, in February?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I just don’t have anything beyond that — beyond the question of a neurological exam.

Jean Pierre said Biden’s White House doctor traveled with Biden to the debate in Atlanta last Thursday:

Q Did — did Dr. O’Connor watch the debate?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I believe Dr. O’Connor traveled with us to the debate, so —

Q So, did he have any concerns after seeing the president’s —

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: No, not at all.

Q — debate perform- —

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Not at all.

(Note: Everyone in the country is concerned about Biden after watching his debate performance except his doctor?)

Jean Pierre said Biden was not taking cold medicine at the debate:

Q Thanks, Karine. So, I’ve spoken to a lot of donors since the debate. And, you know, they want to know what exactly happened that night. So, just to follow up on M.J.’s question, I know you said —

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Yeah.

Q — he hadn’t taken any cold medication. Was there any other medication he had taken? That’s — that’s what many of them are asking.

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: No, I understand. I was asked about the — I — I was asked about the cold medicine. I asked about the cold medicine. He was not taking any cold medicine. And I don’t have anything beyond that. I — I don’t have anything beyond that to share.

And, look, I’ve — I’ve answered this question multiple times at this point. I don’t have anything else to add beyond what I have shared with your colleagues here in the room.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey Sues New York For “Waging War on American Democracy” – “Illegally Scheming” to Jail President Trump

Posted on by

 

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey

 

After threatening legal action last week, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed a lawsuit today against the State of New York claiming that the stay against President Donald Trump, the front-runner in the 2024 Election.  AG Bailey is also calling on the US Supreme Court to invoke its original jurisdiction to hear the case.

AG Bailey states that the gag order “threaten[s] to infringe the rights of Missouri’s voters and electors.”  Specifically that New York’s gag order and impending sentence unlawfully :

impede[s] the ability of electors to fulfill their federal functions.
violate[s] the Purcell principle.
violate[s] the First Amendment rights of Missouri citizens to listen to the campaign speech of a specific individual on specific topics.

Missouri is asking the Court to stay any gag order or sentencing until after the Presidential Election.

In a Press Release on Wednesday, the Attorney General wrote:

Today, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed suit against the State of New York for violating Missourians’ First Amendment right to hear from a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election. Bailey’s lawsuit asserts that New York’s illicit prosecution, gag order, and sentencing of President Trump has undermined his ability to campaign for president. This overt meddling in a presidential election sabotages Missourians’ ability to hear from and cast a fully-informed vote for president mere months before the election.

Attorney General Bailey calls on the United States Supreme Court to invoke its original jurisdiction under Article III, Section II of the Constitution to settle the legal battle between the two states. His lawsuit petitions the Court to declare that New York’s restrictions on President Trump’s ability to campaign unlawfully interfere with the presidential election, to remove any gag orders against the former president, and to halt the impending sentencing until after the presidential election.

“Right now, Missouri has a huge problem with New York. Instead of letting presidential candidates campaign on their own merits, radical progressives in New York are trying to rig the 2024 election by waging a direct attack on our democratic process,” said Attorney General Bailey. “I will not sit idly by while Soros-backed prosecutors hold Missouri voters hostage in this presidential election. I am filing suit to ensure every Missourian can exercise their right to hear from and vote for their preferred presidential candidate.”

Bailey called the lawfare against President Trump “poisonous to American democracy” and said the American people should be able to participate in the election without interference from the State of New York.

He then notes that New York Judge Juan Merchan “violated state judicial ethics by donating to the Biden campaign.”  He also mentions judge Merchan’s daughter’s financial interest in the outcome of these trials as the President of Authentic Campaigns, whose clients include Adam Schiff and the Senate Majority PAC.  Both organizations fundraised off the trial.  The Schiff email began with, “It is a somber moment, and unprecedented for a former president to be indicted, but his alleged offenses are also unprecedented.”

AG Bailey wrote that he believes it’s “very likely” that President Trump would be successful on appeal, however, by then the damage would be done to the campaign.  He claims that Missouri citizens should be able to hear President Trump campaign “free from any gag order” or “interference imposed by the State of New York.”

During the CNN Debate last week, there were several instances in which the political lawfare being waged against President Trump was mentioned by his opponent.  It makes sense that Missouri would argue it’s improper for President Trump to be restricted from mentioning Matthew Colangelo by name.  Fact-checkers also claimed that there is no evidence of Colangelo doing so in coordination with the Justice Department or Joe Biden.  Colangelo was the Acting Assistant Attorney General at the DOJ before leaving to take a senior line prosecutor job.
