Joe Biden Drops Out of 2024 Presidential Race

by Richard Eldred
21 July 2024 8:00 PM

After a car crash debate performance against Donald Trump and multiple calls for him to drop out, Joe Biden has officially ended his Presidential bid. The Mail has more.

President Joe Biden has dropped out of the 2024 race in a seismic decision sparked by a relentless campaign from Democrats demanding he drop out because of his cognitive decline and his dire chances against Donald Trump.

The 81 year-old stepped aside Sunday after facing weeks of questions over his fitness to serve following his disastrous Presidential debate performance that sparked a series of fumbles he could not recover from.

His historic move comes 24 days after the debate and following a 50-year career in politics that culminated in the White House. 

Biden announced his historic decision in a one-page letter where he committed to completing his term and soon after posted a follow-up tweet endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement. 

Now Democrats must race to shore up their campaign behind a new nominee with less than four months until voting day. 

“It has been the greatest honour of my life to serve as your President,” Biden wrote in a letter posted to his X account on Sunday. 

“And while it has been my intention to seek reelection,” he went on, “I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”

The announcement came the same day a slew of Biden’s allies went on the airwaves to insist the President was not stepping down and would continue his reelection efforts. 

Biden said he would speak in more detail about his decision in remarks to the country later this week. …

Trump said he thinks Harris will be even easier to defeat than Biden. 

Biden was not yet the Democratic Party’s official nominee and there is still a short time to replace him before the Democratic National Convention next month. 

The party’s nominating convention is August 19-22 in Chicago, Illinois and it now appears that Harris will be at the top of the Democratic ticket by the end of that week. 

Worth reading in full.

To Mark Steyn ———-Thankyou mate. I appreciate everything you did on GB news. You are one of the few Investigative journalists left that goes where the story takes you, and for that you are to be REMOVED. ——-I read your “Disgrace to the Profession” book on the pseudo scientific fraud called Climate Change some years ago. Hold your head up high mate and if I could afford it, I would pay your alleged 40 thousand quid fine myself.

The Mark Steyn business reminds me a bit of Steven Crowder and The Daily Wire… It seems there’s a bit of a bloodbath going on in the right wing commentariat at the moment.

Nothing to do with Ofcom but I read that James O’Keefe has been ousted from Project Veritas after his Pfizer sting video. It seems the establishment is pushing back on anyone who tells the truth or who exposes the malfeasance and corruption at high levels

The discussion included capital punishment snd it was observed that the state killed people through military action so in-principle objections to the state killing people was diluted thereby.

of more relevance is state authorised killing its own citizens or peaceable residents. Examples include firearms police officers executing suspects (eg a Brazilian plumber in London); abortions without due medical process as required by law and failing to investigate particular crimes for political reasons (eg drug pushing and grooming gangs).

more significant numbers of our fellow citizens die because the state releases proven dangerous men (mainly men) before their given sentences have been served in the knowledge that a large number will reoffend to deadly effect. This is state authorised killing in a scale far in excess of potential capital offences deaths.

also discussed was euthanasia. An American academic has proposed the state should make this lawful then encourage it to reduce the cost of elderly care. It would not be long before the age was reduced and some relatives put pressure on older family members to get out of their lives.

we should not go down that route but if we were ever to do so I propose that the age should be ten years younger for current snd former MPs, Councillors and those sentenced to more than (say) five years imprisonment at any time, the better to get rid of tge least valued first.

Sadly far too many abortions are like this, probably the vast majority. If the state are going to legislate for the killing of children (and I believe they absolutely shouldn’t) they should at least police it rigorously so these abuses don’t happen.

I suspect that this is where we are headed with euthanasia, and the pressure is only likely to intensify with the demographic crisis of an ageing population as a result of all those children being killed (mostly without due process). Dark times indeed for the most vulnerable.
