Thursday was a very bad day for Joe Biden. He was shown “mercy” by the Department of Justice, not for the sake of corruption but to send a message that he’s not even fit enough to be charged for crimes he committed. He was then thrust into a press conference after sunset, a time when his waning mental acuity is at its dullest. To exacerbate both challenges, corporate media was unleashed to plant the most obvious seeds about his upcoming removal from the presidential race.
It was on this day that my own queries about Biden’s situation shifted from “will he be replaced” to “does he even know?” Since a day or two after his nomination was secured in 2020, I had concluded the most likely scenario is that if they cheated enough to make him win, he’d serve part of his term before handing the reins over to his VP. I assumed he was privy to this plan. Now, I’m starting to think he’s been an unwitting scapegoat the whole time.
Biden’s woes started yesterday with Special Counsel Robert Hur’s “good” news for the president. He won’t be facing criminal charges for illegally mishandling classified documents despite the fact that President Trump is currently charged for similar but less egregious crimes. The “good” news was bad enough as a representation of the unfairness of the justice system, but what made it most damning for Biden was the way Hur characterized him as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
The subsequent press conference held conspicuously after Biden’s bedtime was a disaster. He was slow-witted and often angry. He confused Egypt with Mexico. He lashed out during a barrage of questions from a press that has turned against him. He even had members of the press who have spent three years covering for him suddenly use his own words against him.
Some Republicans are predictably calling for his removal through the 25th Amendment. Democrats aren’t jumping in front of cameras to defend him. It appears that the end is near, which brings me back to the question of whether Biden is even aware that he’s being replaced.
My long-time working theory has been that he knew the plan but positioned himself to subvert those plans with the masterful playing of the Kamala Harris card. Nothing protects an incompetent tyrant like the prospects of an even worse successor behind them. He has treated her like Fredo Corleone from the beginning, letting her take care of the political versions of Mickey Mouse nightclubs while leaking reports of her incompetence. But even the Kamala card may not be enough to fight back the wolves.
The latest iteration of my predictions is that he’ll announce in the coming days, weeks, or months that he’s not going to run for reelection. This will prevent his removal from office as attention shifts to his replacement. Michelle Obama is the most obvious choice, bolstered by the fact that corporate media has been instructed not to talk about her too much. The powers-that-be want to portray a reluctant messiah being thrust into the role rather than an ambitious, pre-planned replacement to divert from the carnage that has been inflicted over the past three years.
Michelle Obama won’t be blamed for destructive Biden policies. Michelle Obama will “infuse” a Democrat Party that is hemorrhaging reliable voting blocks. Michelle Obama will be elevated by press more than any candidate in history, including her husband.
Nobody wants to hear this and I definitely don’t want to say it, but Michelle Obama could win.
Last month I called for a strategic shift in how patriots handle the election. I’m reiterating that call today. Attacks against Biden at this point are wasted. In fact, hitting Biden now will only make his replacement more exciting to voters. We need to hit Democrat policies, not just Biden, as the reason for our nation’s woes. Whether it’s Obama or not, the replacement candidate will be separated from today’s policies. Our best play is to make people aware that any Democrat is a continuation of failure no matter how “exciting” they seem to be. Continuously hitting Biden today will only make it harder to attack his replacement in the future.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
It’s not going to be Michelle. She’s lazy, doesn’t want to do anything and loves making lots of $$$. Look for Pritzker.
You may be right. With the level of corruption we’re witnessing now they could run a virtual candidate (ala Simone, 2002 movie) and with the help of fraud, win.
Can you run a short fat ugly guy who last name sounds like Yiddish profanity? There are several female governors.
Exactly. Michelle HATED living in the White House, HATED that her life wasn’t her “own.”
She is not going to be the nominee no matter if she wins by a write-in vote. She doesn’t want to do it.
No way (even) Democrats could credibly stage the tsunami of election fraud for Shufflin Joe again in 2024. Gruesome Newscum is not the answer. A straight, repulsive white dude? But Big Mike provides endless possibilities for the left to coronate her/him/? (I’m confused) and cheat their assses off. Riding a contrived wave of enthusiasm by imaginary supporters suddenly invigorated to vote: blacks, young people, LGBGT and transgenders, illegals. More votes than voters, again. And the GOP will dutifully stand by, complicit.
I regret that you are saying what I don’t want to believe could happen. Big Mike could win with a repeat cheat, rabid .media support, high drama in the streets, conservative “self censoring” for kindness instead of practicing courage and the list goes on.
Most pubs would support Big Mike. That is the hole in your strategy. Pubs are uniparty at heart and will work against the strategy of Labeling Dems for what they are, and forget the hair sniffer.
Spot on analysis. They want Biden out. The only alternative is Michelle. It has to be a black woman in order to get out of having Kamala take over. This report was the first really public attempt to pave the way for that. It’s frightening that she could win, since Biden has really been Obama’s puppet. Nothing will be different with her as president but the public doesn’t seem to get that.
So will this Obama actually be vetted? Are we to pretend it’s a woman again? Where did their children come from?
It doesn’t have to be Big Mike, but anyone other than Joe Biden. The Democrats have millions more illegals in this country ready to vote absentee, and the mules to take their votes to the ballot box in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona. They will tilt the election to ANY Democrat.
However, after yesterday’s news, Joe’s press conference performance, and the continued evidence of his mental decline to come, Joe Biden’s re-election would place voter fraud front and center with people asking, “How the F did that guy get elected again?!” Democrats need another, better candidate with which to “hide” the fraud.
If an Obama, a Newsome, or even a Clinton were to be the nominee then arguing a “legitimate” win against Trump wouldn’t be so hard. That is what they need to do more than anything.
It’s going to be for tranny Obama. It has the least legal baggage to trip it up. Tranny Obama has a far better chance to survive any lawfare mounted against it…
Let’s face it, it is for all practical purposes, immune from scandal…
What are you going to use to turn public opinion against it? Everybody has heard all about it’s tyranny issue but it never stuck…
If it was a republican, the legacy media wouldn’t utter a peep about the tranny elephant in the room…
So, what else can be done? Is there anything that could disqualify it from office or the ballot?
I’m not thrilled about it either. I don’t want trannies in our White House again, besides that, it’s an America last Socialist who loves it’s lifestyle more than the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Wicked people don’t need to step foot in the White House again if we are ever going to show God that we mean business with Him and desire His blessing on us again, as a nation…
Barry’s Beard doesn’t want to run but she may as the obvious choice. However, do not underestimate the reluctance in some quarters to elect a woman as commander-in-chief. Play Schumer’s threat to send our children and grandchildren as cannon fodder for the Democrats’ “endless wars” and she can be defeated. Show street scenes from America’s once great cities now destroyed by rampant crime and drugs and link those scenes to Democrat policy. Law and order, endless war, and the border are Trump’s winning issues. Yes, there are single-issue voters that care only about abortion rights but they are already lost votes.
Obama is running things behind the scenes and now he wants a 4th term through his husband Michelle, By law, this male sex fantasist was only allowed 2 terms so he should be arrested and tried for his crimes. By the way, Michelle is a total dummy.
Moochelle doesn’t want the job. Never wanted the job, and is the stalking horse being used to keep our eyes off of whomever they will choose. Moochelle HATES DC, and has far too fragile of an ego to take the criticism she will inevitably receive – even from some on her side who would vote for her. It isn’t going to be Moochelle. Whitmer? Maybe. Newsom is still a possibility as well. Pritzker is a dark horse candidate.
Senile or not, of course Biden should be tried for his crimes. He wouldn’t be the first stupid, old rat wheeled into a courtroom in a wheelchair. It’s not the DOJs’s job to determine competence of a criminal any more than it was Comey’s job to refuse to indict Hillary Clinton because supposedly no prosecutor would take the case.
With Kamala not likable with the lowest approval ratings in her own party they can and likely will dump her if big mike is the replacement that is, it must be a woman of color or it would not go over well ..
I think your scenerio makes a ton of sense. Your advice i believe is spot on.
But since i believe we can walk and chew gum (hate that expression, really) we can hit Biden hard on how they should prosecute Biden no matter his age or his senility levels for crimes he did while he was very much aware of what he was doing. Prosecuting and convicting does not have to translate into a prison term per se. but it should. because treason should not go unpunished no matter ones age or position in life. at the very least His wealth should be stripped, force him to live the life of “lunch bucket Joe” for his remaining years under house arrest. but the law must remain the law, plenty of old people every day get prosecuted and sent to jail in the real world outside of DC.
Michelle had been quoted as saying after watching her husband no way will she be president. But given the right incentive?
A proactive approach would be to introduce the idea into the public narrative that Biden is not really running things due to his cognitive decline and BHO is really running things behind the scenes. A vote for Michele Obama would be a vote for the continuation of the ruinous policies of this administration.
It is an idea that needs to be hammered in…
Why do they think Big Mike would make a difference because the policies she would implement would be exactly the same that has brought us to were we are today. You are voting to keep in place the same rundown policies of this administration. This statement needs to be spread across the nation.
Mr. Potato Head has lost his marbles. The DNC is moving to have “Big Mike” Obama as their 2024 POTUS candidate. No wonder the left has been attempting to normalize “Chicks With Dicks” for the last few years. The DNC has to pick “Big Mike” now or face being labeled as “Trans Phobes” by their LGBTQ etc nut jobs.
See Frank Lautenberg’s replacement of Bob Torricelli, in contravention of New Jersey law, for how well this dirty trick works.
I want to see his/her Birth Certificate.
I do not want a Tranny President that has to shave his legs, chest and face every morning or maybe even several times a day. He’s a hairy dude.
The accusations will be that she has no experience. The counter to that will be she will have her husband as her consigliere. The problem with that is her ego cannot stand the idea that she will be viewed as her husband’s puppet… which is actually the truth.
exactly. As Im sure you are, I am sick of the BS
Republicans are dumber than a box of rocks. This is why they continue to lose. Obama isn’t running. Newsom will be installed with another round of massive voter fraud.
sckank alert
Our elections are stolen, illegal immigrants are flooding in by the millions and treated to “entitlements” more so than citizens, the justice system is perverted, police are restricted from acting for fear of being imprisoned and now the concept of private property is under attack by the diversity-equity Marxists. We have a greatly funded and armed IRS that has the power to a go to your home or business and arrest you. We’re forced to pay billions to Ukraine and other foreign entities while our Social Security recipients are treated like moochers who should work until they drop. We no longer have a representative government and, therefore, no longer have a nation. Now they’re trying to restrict our choices on the ballot. If Trump isn’t re-elected, it will be time to secede and break up into smaller nations much like the European Union. We can no longer live under this Marxist dictatorship.
Greasy-Gavin Newsom plans to give millions of dollars in tax money to illegals to help these interlopers set up residence n California. reasy-Gavin has destroyed California and now the stupid bastard has dreams of becoming our next president. Truth is, we may not continue as a nation long enough for Greasy-Gavin to achieve that goal – all thanks to Pervie Joe and the queer Kenyan King behind the throne,
