National Democrats Looking to Sideline Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson in Planning For the Convention
Rick Moran | 8:11 AM on May 11, 2024

National Democrats are deep into the planning for the convention in Chicago to be held in August.

Biden's planning team is looking wistfully at the 2020 COVID convention when most events were virtual and the chances for disruption were greatly reduced. They are looking for ways to duplicate some of those events, like the pre-recorded roll call vote where individuals representing state delegations got creative and made their video vote an advertisement for their state.

One big change being considered is a move to an alternate convention site for the actual nomination. Since Biden is having trouble getting on the ballot in Ohio because the convention occurs after the deadline to file in the Buckeye State, the Biden team is being forced to look at confirming Biden's nomination at a "mini-convention" that would be held in McCormick Place prior to the main event at the United Center. Holding other housekeeping events at the alternate site would also make it harder for protesters to mass and cause trouble.

The Democrats can tightly control security at McCormick Place, preventing most floor disturbances.

“If there is one peep in that hall, the networks will be all over it,” a Biden convention planner said referring to the challenges of holding a national convention at the United Center.

The essentials of a new Trump administration
By Richard Berkowitz

Should Biden be re-elected, which I seriously doubt, then America will become a historical asterisk.

If Trump is re-elected, and has the voting plurality to accomplish his goals, what should we expect?

In no particularly strict order, I submit the following:

1) He will address border issues and probably complete the wall, plugging it where it has been destroyed or penetrated.

2) He will make sure border staffing is adequate.

3) I suspect he will begin a series of returning illegal aliens back to their countries of origin.

4) After addressing border issues, Trump should turn his attention to those universities and colleges who have violated America’s civil rights laws and threaten to take away their government funding while calling for the resignation of their presidents, administrators and board members.

Brave Sir Biden
By Pete McArdle

When brave Sir Biden rode south from Scranton toward the dark, fetid swamp of D.C., he was not afraid to die.

No, based on his many, many tales of personal bravery, Joe was not at all afraid of being killed in nasty ways.

Like being mashed to a pulp while driving a 16-wheeler, or getting knifed in the gut in the Puerto Rican neighborhood where he grew up, or having his brains beat out by racist police while bravely standing with a black family on their porch.

Nor was Biden in the least concerned about being sliced to shreds by Corn Pop’s rusty razor, or being left to rot in a South African jail after being detained while trying to visit Nelson Mandela, or drowning in shark-infested waters during battle after being nominated to the Naval Academy.

Heck, he wasn’t even the least bit worried about having his legs torn off playing Navy football — it was only because Roger Staubach was already at the academy that valiant Sir Biden retreated to Delaware U.

Biden and His ‘Ironclad’ Support of Israel
By Clarice Feldman

I always thought “ironclad” meant binding, but to President Biden it apparently means a pledge that’s good until it becomes politically inconvenient to stick to it. On at least two occasions he asserted his (and our) commitment to Israel’s defense was “ironclad”:

    “On July 18, 2023, seated beside Mr. Herzog. “And as I affirmed to Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu yesterday, America’s commitment to Israel is firm. And it is ironclad.”

He reiterated this pledge last month:

    "As I told Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu, our commitment to Israel's security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad - let me say it again, ironclad," Mr. Biden said.

    His comments come one day after an interview, recorded a week ago, was aired in which Mr. Biden urged Mr. Netanyahu to "just call for a ceasefire" in Gaza and in which he said he disagreed with the prime minister's war strategy.

    "I think what he's doing is a mistake. I don't agree with his approach," he said in the interview with US network Univision”.

With rockets pouring into Israel from Lebanon and Gaza after the most murderous barbaric attack of October 7,  “The Biden administration told Congress it would waive sanctions on military sales to several Middle Eastern nations the day before President Biden himself publicly declared that the U.S. would not give Israel offensive aid if it invaded Rafah. (Israel had already begun to invade Rafah.)

Some of those countries have been accused playing an active role in the proliferation of Hamas and other terror groups intent on wiping Israel off the map.
