Democrats are panicking over President Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump Thursday night. Calls for him to be replaced on the ballot continue to grow and a number of observers of the ongoing train wreck have a new description for Biden: The Emperor with no clothes.
I am struck this morning by the duplicity of the political reporters at the New York Times — all of them close confidants of Biden. Yesterday, they knew he was unfit and tried to hide it. Today, after the entire world saw that the emperor has no clothes, they all are calling for…

As speculation swirls about what Democrats will actually do, replacement or a move forward Biden as the party nominee, former President Barack Obama is reportedly getting in on the action.
What I am hearing regarding Joe Biden. Ron Klain and Barack Obama are having a sit down with the President today. Jill Biden is insistent that Joe runs. Kamala is furious that she is not being considered as a replacement (Whitmer and Newsom are). Interestingly my neighbor in…
