So Why Are They Using a Stand-in for DimentiaJoe?

 by Scott Creighton


 

We talked about this briefly yesterday but I had yet to see the video. Looks like they are definitely using a stand-in for Joe Biden at the White House all of a sudden. Standard practice having a lookalike or two for presidents. But the timing, right after announcing Joe's withdrawal from the race, seems pretty suspect.

Has his condition deteriorated to the point where he can't even do a walk out and say hello to the press corps anymore?

Is he throwing a tantrum about being replaced in the race?

Is he still with us?

We will probably never know the answer but I do know this... that ain't the POTUS and all his fawning family members walking behind the actor isn't fooling anyone.


 

Judge for yourself. But I can tell you this: that's not Biden which makes one wonder...

WHO THE HELL IS RUNNING THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW?!?

The Great Patriotic Pole Prepares to Close Nicolas Maduro’s Presidential Campaign

from TeleSur

“We will see rivers of people walking in different directions and on different paths. It will be a great mobilization, like never seen before,” said Nahum Fernandez, the Vice President of Mobilization of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV).

The GPP militants and supporters will remain mobilized for 12 continuous hours, also traversing other avenues such as Francisco Solano, Francisco de Miranda, and Los Caobos. Theatrical performances and circus shows will also take place in various sectors of the capital city.

“The communities of Petare, El Carpintero, La Bombilla, Catia, Nuevo Horizonte, El Onoto, Los Telares, Cinco de Marzo, and El Amparo will traverse the paths to join this great event,” Fernandez said.

So far, the GPP presidential campaign has been characterized by messages of joy and hope that seek to highlight economic reactivation and opportunities to build a new society based on the Bolivarian socialism and participatory democracy...

Unofficial death toll may be over 90,000: US medics in Gaza

from al Mayadeen English

Some 45 physicians and nurses who volunteered in Gaza have written a letter addressed to the Biden administration, which arrived on Thursday, stating that "Israel" claimed the lives of over 90,000 Palestinians during its ongoing genocide in the Strip and highlighting the occupation's war crimes and violations of international humanitarian law.

"President Biden and Vice-President Harris, any solution to this problem must begin with an immediate and permanent ceasefire," the eight-page letter said, demanding the United States impose an arms embargo against the occupation regime, as well as withdraw its diplomatic, economic, and military support until a ceasefire is implemented...

Amid theatrics about Gaza, Harris starts campaign with lies: Hamas

from al Mayadeen English

Izzat al-Risheq, a member of the political bureau of Hamas, considered Kamala Harris' pretensions about her concerns and sorrow regarding the humanitarian situation and human suffering in Gaza to be yet another American lie. 

He reiterated that the United States could have ended the war and blocked its military, security, political, and intelligence support to "Israel' and its occupation forces if it wanted to. 

Al-Risheq also affirmed that the presidential candidate and vice president kickstarted her presidential campaign with fabricated lies, reminding her that Gaza's martyrs are not just "deaths", but innocent civilians, elderly, women, children, and refugees, killed by the "Zionazi army" with American decisions, weapons, and political cover. 

Harris "disregards the human rights she pretends to protect, and the Resistance's right to confront an occupier protected by international law," he said, adding that her vision was biased toward the Israeli occupation and opposed the people of Palestine in Gaza. ..

Israel launches new Gaza attacks as Netanyahu visits Washington

from Daily Sabah

Just hours before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was due to address the U.S. Congress, Israeli forces launched new attacks on the Gaza Strip on Wednesday.

The latest Israeli attacks destroyed homes in towns east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza and thousands of people were forced to head west to seek shelter, residents said.

The Palestinian Civil Emergency Service said it had received distress calls from residents trapped in their homes in Bani Suhaila, east of Khan Younis, but were unable to reach the town.

Medics later said two Palestinians had been killed in an airstrike on Bani Suhaila, where the Palestinian resistance group Hamas said it had detonated a bomb against an Israeli army personnel carrier...

'War criminal' Netanyahu misleads, outright lies to US Congress

from Daily Sabah

The U.S. Congress repeatedly stood in applause Wednesday as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed American lawmakers, at times misleading, in other instances outright lying to the federal legislature.

While Netanyahu's presence drew massive protests outside the Capitol and Washington, in general, his fiery speech has been denounced by the Palestinian group Hamas.

The Israeli Prime Minister told the Congress that Israel's genocidal war on Gaza has one of the lowest ratios of combatants to non-combatant casualties in the history of urban warfare."

The claim is far from the truth in Gaza, where the confirmed Palestinian death toll sits at nearly 40,000, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.

It has repeatedly publicized lists of the dead, including their Israeli-issued identification numbers, and whose data from past conflicts the U.N. has attested as reliable.

The majority of the dead have been women and children and not every man killed has been a combatant.

Israel has largely shrugged off civilian casualties, blaming Hamas as the number has risen dramatically over the past nine months...
