The Biden-Harris Levitation
Don’t buy the illusion. The forces of righteous discernment should be heard from as soon as the public focuses on the election after Labor Day.

Each week in the inexorable march to Election Day, it becomes more challenging to believe how the campaign is unfolding and to rationalize it as a serious process for choosing the leader of the world’s greatest nation. After some reflection, it becomes clear that the extreme improbability of this process is the result of it not really being a race between two pairs of candidates for national office. It is surely the last round in the great battle between Donald Trump and the national political media.
Trump’s ostensible opponents, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, are a spavined political wheel-horse who came in fifth in the New Hampshire primary and a vice presidential nominee who flamed out ignominiously two months before the Iowa caucuses. They are a matched pair of bombed-out losers; Biden was retrieved by the party elders in desperation that otherwise the Democratic candidate would be Marxist Senator Bernie Sanders. They salvaged Biden and Biden salvaged Harris from the pre-primary ash heap.
The attempt to sell this metamorphosis into political stardom will not be easy. Biden and Harris have no history of political victory that entitled them to serious consideration for the offices they now seek. Biden ran twice for president before he was vice president. On neither occasion did he ever poll as loftily as 3 percent. He dropped out of his 1988 pursuit of the Democratic nomination when he was caught cribbing a family recollection, which was completely false when applied to Biden’s background, from British Labour Party chief Neil Kinnock, the only British opposition leader to lose two consecutive general elections in more than 60 years.
