Coup Upon Coup Upon Coup<\/span><\/p>\n

In March 2020, all the major Democratic primary candidates abruptly, mysteriously,\u00a0and in near unison withdrew from the presidential race, ceding the nomination to Joe Biden.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Yet Biden had lost the first three races in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada\u2014and only won his first victory in South Carolina.<\/p>\n

Suddenly,\u00a0on the eve of the Super Tuesday mega-primaries, the candidacies of front-runner Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren, and others simply evaporated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The fear of a front-runner Sanders\u2019 socialist victory and nomination\u2014and thus an enviable landslide loss to incumbent Donald Trump in the general\u00a0election\u2014had prompted the donor class and shadowy political insiders to act.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And they did\u00a0so\u00a0by choosing a perceived moderate, old Joe Biden from Scranton.<\/p>\n

That required the coerced departures of all his far-left rivals,\u00a0who had hitherto performed much better than Biden in the primaries.<\/p>\n

Now front-runner Biden still displayed\u00a0obvious symptoms of serious cognitive decline that had only seemed to\u00a0mount\u00a0through the 2020 campaign.<\/p>\n

And his dementia continued to\u00a0accelerate\u00a0during his first three years as president.<\/p>\n

Biden had deceitfully promised to conduct a healing campaign and\u00a0a\u00a0unifying presidency. <\/strong>But once in the White House, his extreme agendas proved the most divisive and far-left in nearly a century.<\/p>\n

Rumors of that prior March 2020 Faustian bargain emerged.<\/p>\n

The Bidens got to serve as useful moderate veneers. <\/strong>So, they enjoyed the ceremonial functions of the presidency\u00a0while outsourcing the real operations to former Obama officials, consultants, and advisors.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Obama did not, as most ex-presidents\u00a0do, exit Washington upon leaving the White House. Instead, he bought a mansion and stayed\u00a0close by.<\/p>\n

Democrats\u00a0demonized anyone critical of Biden\u2019s obvious mental decline. Their smearing\u00a0crested\u00a0during\u00a0Biden\u2019s now-aborted 2024\u00a0reelection bid, even as Biden\u00a0could\u00a0no longer\u00a0display even a veneer\u00a0of mental and physical engagement.<\/p>\n

Polls revealed an impending Trump landslide\u00a0victory in November\u2014and a massive Democratic loss of\u00a0Congress.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So suddenly on a Sunday, July 21\u2014just days left before state ballots were formalized with the names of the parties\u2019 official nominees, and on the eve of the Democratic convention\u2014party bosses, mega-donors, and Obama puppeteers went into action for yet a third time.<\/p>\n

They reportedly threatened candidate Biden with a complete loss of\u00a0any\u00a0further campaign funding\u00a0and\u00a0raised the specter of invoking the 25th\u00a0Amendment to end his presidency\u2014should\u00a0he\u00a0not suddenly withdraw from the race and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as his surrogate on the ticket.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0one\u00a0moment, the choices of nearly 15 million Biden primary voters were vitiated. <\/strong><\/p>\n

No delegates were consulted. No other\u00a0alternative Democrat\u00a0candidates were even considered.<\/p>\n

Biden was dethroned; Harris\u00a0was\u00a0coronated – without much public input or even knowledge\u00a0of\u00a0how or why.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Democrat grandees stopped smearing Biden\u2019s conservative critics, who had worried over his dementia. Instead, they now trumped opposition criticism of Biden\u2019s decline.<\/p>\n

Yet Biden most certainly did not resign his presidency. Instead, he promised to serve out his remaining six months in office.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So\u00a0Democrat\u00a0insiders not only removed their leading candidate,\u00a0who for the prior six months had won all the 2024 primaries and almost all the delegates,\u00a0but insisted that Biden keep Democrats and himself in power\u2014but only if he agreed to quit the race.<\/p>\n

In sum, at the 11th\u00a0hour of a two-year reelection effort, a cabal\u00a0arbitrarily decided that Joe Biden might well lose the Democrats the White House and the Congress.<\/p>\n

So, they reversed course, now claiming his dementia was so acute as to destroy their November prospects. But mysteriously,\u00a0his decline was not severe enough to imperil the American people,\u00a0whom Biden must continue to lead until January 20,\u00a02025.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the bosses\u2019 replacement choice, Vice President Kamala Harris, had entered no primary. She\u00a0never won a single delegate.\u00a0Harris also never captured a single delegate in\u00a0her first and only presidential run back in 2020. She then\u00a0dropped out of the race even before the first Iowa and New Hampshire balloting.<\/p>\n

We have now witnessed three\u00a0left-wing\u00a0veritable coups.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2020, covert actors decided to ossify the Democratic primary races.\u00a0 <\/strong>Next, they conferred the nomination\u00a0on\u00a0a clearly cognitively challenged Joe Biden.\u00a0 He was now tasked\u00a0with serving as\u00a0a useful moderate vessel for a virtual,\u00a0even more radical,\u00a0Obama third term.<\/p>\n

The same operators next assumed virtual control of Biden\u2019s presidential agenda, <\/strong>given his accelerating cognitive decline. When that charade could no longer be sustained, for a third time,\u00a0they\u00a0circumvented the normal transparent democratic process.<\/p>\n

So, they removed the once useful but now\u00a0a liability Biden<\/strong>\u2014while insisting that he was still fit enough to keep the left in power\u2014until the anticipated Harris victory in November.<\/p>\n

And all of\u00a0this was the shadow work of those who sanctimoniously lectured America that \u201cdemocracy dies in darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
