The Democrats’ Greatest Opportunity: Excommunication by Anti-Semites and Other Observations

Democrats’ Best Hope Now

“Suddenly, the columnists and editorial pages that denied the truth” about President Biden’s mental decline “are sounding like these columns,” criticize The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board. Democrats are now faced with a nominee who is clearly declining mentally and a Vice President, Kamala Harris, who is even less popular than Biden. Their best option could be a “Biden withdrawal and an open August convention” for the country’s best interests. Biden’s vulnerabilities could be exploited in a second term, and although an open convention comes with risks, it may be the best way for Democrats and their media allies to address the mess they have created.

Antisemites Excommunicated Me

Philip Berger at Tablet notes that he has been cut off by several younger progressive colleagues since October 7 for being a Zionist. Berger, who has supported Palestinian self-determination, feels excluded by colleagues who are backed by other Jews who denounce and vilify Israel. He sees this spurning as classic antisemitism but he is determined to stay and fight, proudly proclaiming his Jewishness and Zionism.

Beltway Press Exposed

The Federalist’s Mark Hemingway groans about how Democrats and their media allies have betrayed America by lying about Biden’s declining mental competency. Their dishonesty has put the country at risk, and they are more upset about being unable to hide Biden’s condition anymore. Honesty a year ago might have led to a stronger candidate.

KBJ’s Unbiased Jan. 6 Opinion

According to Reason’s Billy Binion, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson advocated for constraining criminal laws to their actual text in a Supreme Court ruling that affected many January 6 rioters. Her experience as a former public defender gives her unique insights into the downsides of overly creative prosecution. Her concurring opinion might be surprising to many, given the politically charged nature of the cases involved.

Will the Lies Continue?

Victor Davis Hanson at American Greatness asserts that President Biden’s true state was revealed in a recent debate, showing him as a failing individual who barely fulfills the role of president. The deception of presenting him as a uniter while pushing a far-left agenda has finally been exposed. The question now is whether these lies will continue, and Hanson believes they will persist until voters reject those responsible for deceiving the nation.
