Donald Trump’s exceptional return to the White Home tops the record of main tales of 2024 however what about all these hyped non-stories that fell with a thud?
Like Joe Biden promising to not pardon his son Hunter.
Did anybody actually imagine the enfeebled Biden would ship Hunter to jail? The self-righteous mainstream media and gullible Democrats swallowed this whopper all yr, calling it a testomony to the president’s perception within the justice system.
“Joe Biden’s character as a public servant is what drove him to clarify that the legislation applies to everybody,” former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki gushed in June. “As a result of the justice system that convicted his solely surviving son is identical justice system he vowed to guard. If that doesn’t let you know who Joe Biden is, I don’t actually know what does.”
Seems Biden not solely pardoned Hunter for gun and tax convictions, but in addition for every other crimes he might have dedicated within the final decade, together with corruption allegations like his Ukraine dealings that Republicans deliberate to analyze.
Biden is really a shame. Hunter’s blanket pardon is his lasting legacy.
However what do you anticipate from a person who vowed repeatedly to remain on the ticket, solely to reverse course when threatened by Nancy Pelosi?
Biden’s pardon “shocker” solely confirms what everybody is aware of: that the Justice Division, as Trump says, has change into fully weaponized and politicized.
Right here’s one other 2024 whopper: Kamala Harris making one other bid for president in 2028.
Sure, imagine it or not, some clueless Democratic strategists are already touting Harris because the main contender in 4 years regardless of her embarrassing electoral landslide defeat in November.
Harris herself has been behind this ridiculous effort, telling advisers to “maintain her choices open” to run for the White Home once more and even for California governor in two years, in accordance with Politico.
“I’m staying within the combat,” Harris has been telling individuals in cellphone calls from her “trip,” in Hawaii.
The one factor Harris can be doing over the following few months is certifying that Trump gained the election. If she will get over that humiliating job, she’s going to seemingly fade from view as quickly as doable.
However not in accordance with her deluded supporters.
“There can be a need to listen to her voice, and there gained’t be a vacuum for lengthy,” an individual near Harris informed Politico.
What nonsense. 4 years after America soundly rejected her, she’s going to be the nominee once more? If that’s true, Democrats are in worse form than we thought.
One other non-story of the yr: Josh Kraft working for mayor.
The son of Patriots proprietor Robert Kraft has been getting quite a lot of ink these days from some salivating media supporters telling us he’s critically contemplating difficult Boston Mayor Michelle Wu in 2025.
We’re nonetheless ready for his announcement.
That’s as a result of Kraft, who’s attempting to place himself as a progressive, doesn’t stand an opportunity of beating liberal hero Wu and if Wu doesn’t run subsequent yr, he would seemingly face Metropolis Councilors Ed Flynn and Ruthzee Louijeune, amongst others.
Kraft would seemingly be the proper wealthy white carpetbagger for Ruthzee to trounce. Even Ed Flynn, who’s interesting to moderates and conservatives, can be a formidable opponent for Kraft, a political novice. Maybe he ought to purpose decrease, like for a seat on the Metropolis Council clown present, earlier than he runs for mayor.
One more hyped story we’ve heard about all yr is Diana DiZoglio and her quest to audit the Legislature.
Sure, the voters accepted the referendum nevertheless it’s additionally by no means going to occur. Legislative leaders have vowed to go to court docket to dam it, they usually appear to have an honest probability of profitable.
All DiZoglio is doing is constructing a marketing campaign for governor. The Legislature is an ideal foil for her but in addition don’t underestimate Senate President Karen Spilka and Home Speaker Ron Mariano. They’re getting ready to thwart the voters’ will as soon as once more and can succeed.
Just a few different nonsense tales of 2024: The abortion concern profitable the election for Democrats, and locking up Donald Trump in jail.
None of that occurred, after all, regardless of the media spending months telling everybody that Democrats would win the election on the backs of abortion rights and lawfare.
Each of these methods failed miserably, and now Trump is the on the best way to the White Home.
