TRUNALIMUNUMAPRZURE! Jill Biden shockingly admits she thought Joe was ‘having a stroke’ during disastrous 2024 debate with Trump.

Now she tells us.

Jill Biden has claimed in a new interview that she thought her husband Joe was “having a stroke” during his infamous 2024 debate with Donald Trump.

“I was frightened, because I had never, ever seen Joe like that before or since. Never,” the former first lady told CBS News in the sitdown that will air in full Sunday morning.

“I don’t know what happened,” she added. “As I watched it, I thought, ‘Oh, my God, he’s having a stroke.’ And it scared me to death.”

Then-President Biden shocked the nation during the June 27, 2024, debate, repeatedly freezing on camera, fumbling for answers and appearing dazed and confused.

Jill Biden played the supportive spouse in the immediate aftermath, joining him at an Atlanta Waffle House and praising him for a job well done.

That’s a role she’s still playing, even today:

This is called a limited hangout. Biden’s performance in the 2024 debate against Trump was not much different than how Biden appeared in multiple public appearances prior to that — it wasn’t shocking for politicos watching him closely, and definitely wasn’t shocking for his wife. https://t.co/fB8I2uVK8x

KEN DILANIAN: Kash Patel Has Fired a Completely Non-Partisan FBI Analyst For No Other Reason Than Disagreeing with Him About a “Shooter’s Motive” Ten Years Ago.

That’s the headline/digest this CIA operative and FusionGPS asset posted on Twitter to advertise his MSNOW article.

Based on that headline, would you care to guess who that shooter might have been, and what disagreement there might have been about his motive?

To help you out, the shooting he’s talking about happened in 2017, not quite ten years ago.

Do you have your answer?

Further hint: This analyst claimed the shooter wasn’t a domestic terrorist with any political motive, but was simply shooting rando targets in order to get police to kill him. That is, “suicide by cop.”

Yes, he’s talking about a Democrat operative who refused to acknowledge that the James Hodgkinson III, the man who shot up Republicans at a softball practice and hit Steve Scalise five times, wasn’t Aksually a Rachel Maddow fan and Bernie Sanders volunteer who hated Republicans, but just a man with no discernible motive other than seeking to end his own life in the most convoluted manner possible.

QUESTION ASKED: How Will AOC Survive a Presidential Campaign?

It was only a month ago that Axios was telling us that while the AOC is a ubiquitous social media presence, she doesn’t like doing sit-down interviews, and when she does, “it’s usually with an ideologically sympathetic outlet or reporter.”

We saw this with Joe Biden, and we saw this with Kamala Harris. We are beset by overambitious, under-studied politicians who are absolutely convinced they’re ready to sit behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office and order U.S. troops into combat when needed, but not ready to sit down for an hour with a major cable news host who’s going to ask them tougher-than-usual questions. If you want to be president of the United States, then you need to be able to sit down with someone who’s going to say some variation of, “your policies, ideas, and agenda stink, and you should not be trusted with power” and you need to be able to respond, “no, my policies, ideas, and agenda are the right answers, and here’s why” in a persuasive matter. This is Politics 101.

If you need to be wrapped in bubble wrap to get through a national tour, you are not going to get through the challenges of a presidential campaign.

Much like Kamala during her stillborn 2020 presidential bid, AOC’s 2019 Green Nude Eel obsessions created a treasure-trove of insane rhetoric. With the left having recently backed off on their apocalyptic eco rhetoric, her manic pixie “New Socialist ‘It Girl’” phase will be studied endlessly by operatives on the left during the primaries and on the right, if she’s the Dem’s nominee.

Critically, the Republicans who still believe in institutions, believe… https://t.co/RjojNWxJxb

BILL SCHER: Janet Mills Should Unsuspend Her U.S. Senate Campaign.

Polls aren’t votes. And on June 9, the day of Maine’s primary, Democratic voters deserve to have a say before rolling the dice on a candidate who has been a controversy magnet. It may be that Maine Democrats still want Platner as their nominee, but that should be a choice they make, not a fait accompli foisted upon them.

As Mills is still on the ballot, she can—and should—unsuspend her campaign and give Mainers a real choice.

That’s silly, you might understandably say. Platner’s checkered social media history and covered-up Nazi-themed tattoo have already attracted tons of media coverage. Yet he remains ahead of Susan Collins, the Republican incumbent U.S. senator, in general election polling. The obvious conclusion: Maine voters don’t care. Platner weathered the political storm and is in a strong position to deny Collins a sixth term. Why inject fresh intra-party division now?

That is a reasonable argument, and Maine Democrats should avoid any move that risks a permanent schism. Two weeks from now, Platner likely will be the official nominee, and the party will need to unify around him to maximize its chances of capturing not only Collins’s seat but control of the U.S. Senate.

That’s an awful lot of words to tell Democrats to vote for the Nazi in November.
