“There are decades when nothing happens, and there are weeks when decades happen.” – Lenin
As I write, Joe Biden has yet to be seen in public following his fishy letter of abdication. Rumors are spreading that he may be dying, or even already dead. As Moldbug remarked in a post today:
There is simply no good reason for the President not to be able to talk to the press. Especially if he is staying President! But.. there are… plenty of weird reasons…
If they are ready to lie about his Parkinson’s, or whatever—could it become—long Covid? Could the President—die of Covid? People die of Covid… Could the President… die? Take a sudden turn for the worse? A tragedy! The thing is—people already feel a little… misinformed… about his health—why not be hanged for an ox? Weirder and weirder. Scalia’s pillow is already hanging on Chekhov’s wall…
Meanwhile, Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle has been doing a very poor job today on Capitol Hill answering questions about the failed attempt on Donald Trump’s life a few days back (an attack about which we have an awful lot of good reasons to be deeply suspicious).
As Moldbug says in the linked post, what’s happening right now is history — reality — leaking into the little movie we’ve been living in. Great forces are at war for Power. And you, dear Voter, are nothing.
How’s that Democracy going, friends? Are you still feeling “sovereign”?

I read that Biden was given metropolol after his disastrous debate a few weeks ago, presumably for high blood pressure or intense heart rate. Truly, considering COVID and the stress he must be under the elderly president is perhaps vulnerable to having a stroke or a heart attack (or any other number of ailments). Yet he continues to exercise the High Office even while not running for another term – example 1,233,000 of Lord Acton’s famous maxim.
Hmmm …
I suppose I ought get online more often

Anyway the endpoint “we’re” to see significantly is when Hunter “receives” his so well deserved pardon. (Uncle Frank – kinda Uncle Boseywise is probably screwed).
That the Clintons “so quickly endorsed” Kamel so soon reveals much.
Cody Shearer’s deer-stand plan didn’t stand for standards of strict scrutiny.
Hi, wrote a book about how they robbed the election worldwide.
