How many times have you heard people say that Donald Trump can be his own worst enemy? How many times have you thought that he could do so much more good if he didn’t get in his own way?
Or, as Ben Domenech puts it at Spectator World, “The attitude is ubiquitous among some portions of the president’s base: they just think he’d be better off if he could focus and not give Democrats so much material. But because this hypothetical has never emerged, we never really got to find out if it was true — until now.”
For the last few weeks, we’ve largely seen that wish come true.

Two weeks. We've had two weeks since Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance. Normally, a debate sustains a news cycle for a few days. But Biden's performance was so bad, his obvious mental decline so apparent, that the media just can't let it go.
To be fair, we on the right have not let it go since his basement campaign in 2020. But the media has suddenly had their eyes opened and the veil lifted. They see now what they were too un-curious to see before: Biden is a man in decline.
The problem for the Democrats is that, when it comes to seeking another candidate, time is up. The ideal time

Two Democratic senators are asking Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to investigate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for possible tax law violations.
Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) sent the letter to Garland last week asking him to appoint a special counsel “to investigate possible violations of federal ethics and tax laws.” The two lawmakers pointed to public reporting over the last year which found Thomas failed to disclose multiple luxury trips and gifts from billionaire friends.

On Tuesday, ABC Good Morning America co-anchor George Stephanopoulos interviewed Democratic Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer about her recently released book, True Gretch. Unsurprisingly, Stephanopoulos focused more on politics and her personal life rather than the book itself. Stephanopoulos mentioned that Whitmer’s new book calls for people to “look for the good in any person or situation.” He then asked her, “Where is the good?” since Democrats have been “feeling pretty stressed the last several days.” Whitmer’s answer was the following: I wanted to make sure people see some of the lessons that I've used it to get through these last six years and so I

By the time we saw Joe Biden’s debate debacle, the media had spent four years covering up his mental and physical decline to help Democrats. After Biden’s fragile mental state was exposed, the media instantaneously began pushing Biden out of the presidential race to help Democrats.
The goal remains the same.
The Wall Street Journal reports this week that Biden’s senior advisers “aggressively stage-managed” the president’s “schedule, movements and personal interactions, as they sought to minimize signs of how age has taken a toll on the oldest president in U.S. history.” Basically, everyone in the White House — as well as big-money donors — conspired to hide that the president

George Stephanopoulos backed away Tuesday evening from an errant quip he made to a passerby in New York City in which he said that he didn’t think President Joe Biden would be able to serve another term in office.
“I don’t think he can serve four more years,” Stephanopoulos said in the leaked video.
The exchange was captured by TMZ, and the person lobbing a query about Biden’s fortitude appeared to be working for the outlet. The person approached Stephanopoulos as he was walking, in workout clothes, on the streets of New York City.
“Earlier today I responded to a question from a passerby. I shouldn’t have,” Stephanopoulos said in a statement

Too many people have all kinds of weird things pop into their heads when you mention the word "wealth." So when an article appears that mentions (almost certainly correctly) that Baby Boomers are at the moment the wealthiest generation and reveals how they are apparently flocking to a town in Texas with wheelbarrows full of cash (almost certainly an exaggeration), it's easy to spot some of those misconceptions.
Georgetown, Texas, is the place to be, at least if you're of a certain age. Thanks to a surge in baby boomers moving into the city just 40 miles north of Austin, it's the fastest-growing city in America.

The Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg was evacuated Saturday after every member of the state’s legislature received an email threatening anti-Israel bombings in the complex.
“In the name of Palestine, I have hidden highly lethal lead azide devices in and around Pennsylvania State Capitol as well as the Pennsylvania Judicial Center,” the suspect, going by the alias of “glorytoourmartyrs,” wrote. “I plan on triggering one device every few hours until Joe Biden goes on national television and publicly denounces the illegitimate state of Israel. Keep in mind I am inside one of the 2 buildings armed w/ a knife, and plan on remaining here to my dying breath!”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), the far-left “Squad” leader in Congress, announced her support for President Joe Biden on Monday despite calls within his own party to step down following his disastrous debate against former President Donald Trump.
The congresswoman shared her position in a statement in which she called the matter “closed” due to the president’s insistence to stay in the race:
I have spoken to the President over the weekend. I have spoken with him extensively. He made clear then and he has made clear since that he is in this race. The matter is closed. He had reiterated that this morning, he has reiterated

Model, television star, and "SlutWalk" founder Amber Rose has been making quite a few waves in the political world lately. She recently openly endorsed Trump, causing a ton of backlash toward her.
But none of this seems to matter to her as she's not only doubled and tripled down on her Trump support, but she's now quadrupled it by stating she'll be speaking at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, according to a post on X. Rose's support of Trump took a lot of people by surprise, however she's stated her reasoning on multiple occasions.
Recently, she told TMZ that she's no longer brainwashed
