In his opening statement at Wednesday’s Democratic debate in Detroit, Joe Biden addressed Donald Trump while pointing proudly to the racial and ethnic diversity of the nine Democrats standing beside him.
“Mr. President, this is America and we are strong and great because of this diversity, not in spite of it. … We love it. We are here to stay. And we certainly are not going to leave it to you.”
Whereupon the other nine — three women, two African Americans, one Asian American and one Hispanic — began a multicultural mugging of Biden that at times took on the aspect of a flash mob.
Said The Washington Post, Biden “faced relentless attacks on his decades-long Senate record on race and criminal justice, immigration and health care, and his commitment to women’s rights.”
The 1994 crime bill, of which Sen. Biden was once proud and which cut U.S. crime rates for decades, was trashed as a reactionary and racist measure that led to the imprisonment of countless thousands of black Americans who were guilty only of minor drug offenses.
Cory Booker called Joe the “architect of mass incarceration.”
Biden’s Senate friendships with segregationists and opposition to busing to integrate the public schools came in for yet another hiding by Sen. Kamala Harris.
His support of President Barack Obama’s border policies that led to the deportation of hundreds of thousands seeking asylum and entry into the country was denounced as heartless.
Did he never object in the Obama Cabinet meetings to what was happening to these unfortunates being turned back, Biden was asked?
For two hours, when the Democratic candidates were not attacking each other, they were piling on Joe.
Kirsten Gillibrand, a self-described “white woman of privilege,” attacked him for a long-ago op-ed that warned that women who enter the workforce imperil the family.
He was attacked anew by Harris for having supported the Hyde Amendment that denies federal funding for abortions
On and on it went. Biden’s support of NAFTA was attacked as was his vote for the war in Iraq. He was made to recant his support of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal he helped to forge. The TPP was once seen by U.S. elites as uniting the democracies of Asia and the Americas to counter the Chinese drive for trade hegemony.
“Everybody’s talking about how terrible I am on these issues,” wailed Biden. He fought back gamely. But he also stammered, mumbled, misspoke and some of his answers seemed to be canned rebuttals.
Biden eased some fears that he has lost more than a step as a presidential candidate. Yet this is not the same Joe who bested Mitt Romney’s vice presidential nominee, Paul Ryan, in 2012.
In closing Biden misidentified his website, “If you agree with me, go to Joe 3 0 3 3 0 and help me in this fight.”
In a city that was stunned by the halting public testimony of Robert Mueller, Biden’s debate performances raise a valid question: Can the Joe Biden we saw in the two debates be an articulate and energetic leader and president until January 2025, five and a half years from now?
While every candidate scored points Wednesday night, much of the scoring was done at the expense of other Democrats on stage. The GOP has a new library of videos of Democratic fratricide, and sororicide.
Bottom line of the July Democratic debates: It seems astonishing how far the Democratic Party’s center of gravity has moved to the left.
Today, much of the career record of Joe Biden — his opposition to busing, his credentials as tough-on-crime, his support for NAFTA, his backing of the Iraq War, his career-long support of the Hyde Amendment — is seen not as a record to be proud of, but a record to be ashamed of, and a record to apologize for.
How do progressives, many of whom regard Biden’s career as an embarrassment, embrace him as their leader and agent of progressive change if he wins the nomination?
Biden today seems to be the kind of candidate, like Congressman Joe Crowley of Queens whom Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ousted in a primary in 2018, that progressives want desperately to be done with.
After the July debates, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren sit in the second and third positions, with one of the two the almost certain beneficiary of a Biden fade.
Yet, if the Democratic Party nominates either — both are committed to a sweeping restructure of society and the economy — are the American people ready to buy into a radical or outright socialist agenda?
Are Americans looking for an alternative to Trump who will abolish private health insurance, embrace open borders and reparations for slavery, extend the ballot to felons in prison, add half a dozen justices to the Supreme Court and vote for free college tuition and forgiveness of student loans?
Where is the evidence of that?

Americans aren’t voting for uncle Joe. Trump 2020 appears clearer and clearer.
Ronnie Reagan Jr, the talk show ballet dancing guy, admitted his father was both senile and urinary incontinent near the end of his second term……..the old boy sat there in the oval office pissing in his diaper while moving paperwork and missiles around his giant desk while Nancy, her astrologer, and a couple of moronic desk generals ran the country. Funny thing……times were never better so maybe encroaching senility is actually an asset and a confused bumbling Biden would make a great prez.
Trump gets a big help from his Friends ,from lies , from their emptiness , that created vacuum he will fill it.. More is coming ..Biden is a sleazy zombie , dead candidate walking …Can not
do it..Nothing to offer..
White cucks like Biden richly deserve all the pain they receive.
Just as the definition of racism has become anyone who doesn’t apologize for being mugged by a nonwhite the definition of a socialist is anyone who doesn’t apologize for being mugged by big business.
– I seriously doubt that any of those privileged candidates have been ‘mugged by big business’.
Quite the opposite.
– Communism / Socialism: the most failed, murderous form of government the world has ever known.

2020 is a debate between those who want to “Make America Great Again” versus those who want to make it great for EVERYONE for the first time…it’s about those who look backwards and fetishize nostalgia versus those who look forward. We are better than those who fetishize the 50s.
#WhiteGenocide is necessary.
This column exemplifies how Mr. Buchanan does his part to channel dissent into sham elections that effect no change. Notice which names appear — Biden, Booker, Gillibrand, Harris, Sanders, Warren — in this attack on identity politics and their “radical or outright socialist agenda” to the exclusion of Representative Gabbard and her criticism of the destructive Empire.
I respect the loyalty shown by his old fans who remember (selectively, cf., Grenada) his candor and courage when he was in government or a candidate himself. But people should realize that this website’s “Mr. Paleoconservative” has become a Beltway fixture, cheerleading for Team Red in the next Most Important Election Ever.
One of the key aspects of a Flash Mob is that they go away after they’ve done their little dance, looting, or beat-down.
These folks aren’t going to go away; they are the New American Tonton Macoute.
P.S. Mr. Buchanan on June 28 did write about Ms. Gabbard’s criticism of imperial foreign policy. But that was only the second and last time that her name has even appeared in his columns here. If he wants the Democrats to improve, why nothing since?
You’re going to believe anything Ron Jr. says about his father? He hated his father, so of course he is going to say hateful things about him. It’s easy to slander a person when he’s dead and gone and can’t fight back.
Plus, your conclusion is, as you no doubt know, pure nonsense that adds nothing to the conversation other than snark about older people (e.g., that incontinence necessarily implies senility).
What a silly sensationalist article!
Imagine — defending an empty vessel like Biden.
Buchanan goes so far, he expressly implies that Biden’s support for the Iraq War is something to be proud of.
And then there’s the either monstrously naive or monstrously duplicitous prediction that a Warren or Sander’s presidency will result in “an outright socialist agenda”.
Yer, right Pat. The deep state will just sit back & put it’s feet up. Look what they did to Trump — the only “radical” thing he wanted to do was ease off on Russia & save a bit of money by cutting back on the US getting into wars left, right & centre (the Trump’s Russian views were strategically clever — China is clearly the US’s primary competitor — thus trying to de-link China & Russia IS smart) .
So Pat, to put it bluntly, you don’t need to get your panties all wodded up, because, should a Sanders or Warren get in, the deep state will have them for breakfast.
To say that the battle is between Socialism and Capitalism is really stupid. The Native Born White American Working Class does not want Medicare handed over to Wall Street.
The Democratic Party debates was all-out-race-war against WORKING CLASS NATIVE BORN WHITE AMERICAN MALES…..This is how we respond to Jamaican-Hindu Kamala Harris….
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS WAGING OPEN RACE WAR AGAINST OUR PEOPLE…..
Patrick
Repeat after me:THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS WAGING ALL-OUT-OPEN-RACE WAR AGAINST OUR PEOPLE…
No doubt Ronnie was piddling on himself……but don’t forget the Sheboon Wife of Obama was never paper-trained during her 8 years in the Whitehouse…..Her handlers tried many times…always…unsuccessfull….
I recall Biden publicly smirking at the prospect of the diminution of American Whites, calling it a good thing. Screw ‘im.
Poor thing. How dare you vilify an innocent victim of leakage from botched inguinal tranny surgery performed by money grubbing capitalist medical doctors ?
Ron Reagan, Jr. knows what his role is. He’s aware that the (((media))) will occasionally pay attention to him and pat him on the head if he talks trash about his adoptive father. They have no other reason to give him a passing thought. So he does what they require him to do, and they give him a cookie.
You’re gal Tulsi is pretty much a one trick pony and outside of foreign policy she’s nearly indistinguishable from AOC or any of the rest of the woke bastards who hate white Americans and heritage America but isn’t as vocal about it.
Biden is way past his prime, if he ever had one. To me he has always been a dumbass.
Senator Bernie Sanders is no socialist. What Silicon Valley tech company, what oil company, or what military contractor has he advocated nationalizing? Not a single one. But much of the public (whether they like or dislike him) are suckers that fall for the description of him as a socialist.
Joe Biden was sort of like the symbol of an aging, senile heritage (white) America and human pinata that all of the woke and non-white candidates were relentlessly attacking. The ongoing civil war within the Democrat party clearly has racial overtones and its only a matter of time before whites are shunted aside by the browning demography and never allowed to hold leadership positions again.
I wish Pat would revisit his prediction of America’s demise by 2030 because the only way this freakshow can endure is by political suppression of the white majority which I believe is a real near future probability. That might actually be a good thing since it would finally show those inclined to optimism and “the system can be reformed or saved by a white knight” that this country hates whites and has nothing to offer us except 24/7 hate so it’s time to withdraw all loyalty and support and forge something new.
Your gal.
“Senator Bernie Sanders is no socialist. What Silicon Valley tech company, what oil company, or what military contractor has he advocated nationalizing? Not a single one.”
Yes he is and yes he has.
Anyone who advocates controlling the US economy by seizing the energy sector via the fake ‘global warming, climate change, climate emergency’ canard is a Socialist / Communist.
They know, we all know that if they seize the energy sector they control everything.
Twice wrong — I don’t vote, and pretty much see her as you do. Especially after Trump (who I also never trusted) and her vote to condemn BDS, she may not even have one good trick left.
Now, what do you think of my take on Mr. Buchanan?
Agreed. I have stated the same here a few times.
Yeah, Wally I know. I can get 100 responses just like this at BB. Communism is an ideology it doesn’t kill people. That’s like saying gund kill people.
Americans have no idea how much they gained from the blood, sweat and tears from ancestors who fought for workers rights. Old Lou doesn’t like to talk about that. Neither does anyone else.
The biggest pro socialist policies in the US are freetrade, immigration and cheap labor.
“Yet, if the Democratic Party nominates either — both are committed to a sweeping restructure of society and the economy — are the American people ready to buy into a radical or outright socialist agenda?”
Answer: No.
Trump wins in 2020.
Which raises a thought question: Exactly why the hell do we even NEED a “president” in the first place?
What makes you think we have one?
We don’t. We are ruled by the Chabad courts and the Likudnik congress/military industrial complex.
The Democrats are starting to purge all White men.
Name a single corporation. Don’t bother trying. There are none.
He corrected your punctuation error.
For all his experience with Socialism/Communism, the guy in the red shirt and cap looks much too healthy, too clean, and too white.
The Left may cherish diversity, but not-so-much the Right. Not that that’s a bad thing, mind you.
Pretty much.
That’s right Wally, keep up the perpetual bullshit that socialism equates to communism.
Communism is state-ism, and it’s based on Marx’s Talmudic ideology. Marx’s socialist contemporaries, whose ideas he stole and twisted, referred to him as “the tapeworm in socialism”.
A co-op is socialism. It’s geared to local needs and owned by locals.

Look up the leadership Phillippe Petain offered to France between 1940 and 1944. Petain wasn’t much older than Biden would be.
It’s a serious issue. As everyone lives longer and longer, we have to realize we’re playing Russian Roulette every time we contemplate electing one of these geriatrics — and they’re going to start becoming very common. Sure, their brains may work just fine until they’re 86 — sometimes.
Sometimes they won’t. They’ll be checking out on us while still going through the motions. See Petain again.
Check your work — he corrected his.
So, what do you think of my take on Mr. Buchanan?
Biden will NOT be the nominee.
Hillary the Beast will be. You’ll see.
Yeah, but the “Conservatives” just want to give it all to the rich, after a momentary stop in the hands of guys wearing camo.

Well, when a man has had two kids and they both hate his guts, that’s not exactly a ringing endorsement of his administrative skills.
To preside.
As opposed to govern, which is what governors are supposed to do.
When Obama was President he was against gay marriage, now Pete B is a serious candidate for the Presidency. Change happens surprisingly fast, I’m not ready to predict a lurch to the left will cripple the Dems, a lot of the country is ready for it.
The Democratic Party wants to MURDER IN COLD BLOOD!!! all Native Born White American Working Class Males……
“Conservatives”(National Review Homosexual PEDERASTS…Rhymes with Bench…) want to hand SS over to Wall Street…
It is becoming increasingly evident that the only candidate capable of defeating Mr. Trump is Tulsi Gabbard. She has significant crossover appeal and has become a favored guest of Tucker Carlson, who shares her opposition to the US “regime change wars.” Tulsi has shown the guts to take down that horrible harridan Kamala Harris, and show what a fake she is. To me, that’s reason enough to support Tulsi, even though her vote on BDS was very disappointing – but perhaps she felt she had no choice, given the power of the Jewish lobby to make or break any candidate.
Old Joe is about as palatable as yesterday’s warm stale beer. He blew his best chance when he didn’t have the guts to take on the Hildabeast last go round. Like an aging athlete who refuses to admit to himself that his playing days are over, it’s time to hang it up, Joe.
But – is the country ready for a homo president who has a husband who will become First Man? I hope we haven’t fallen that far yet, but I’m not so sure.
Actually, in “Suicide of a Superpower,” Pat used 2025 as the crack-up date.
Elect Joe, and the country better be prepared for a radical female VP to take over. Joe has even mentioned that he might pick Stacy Abrams for the job. Seriously? That’s reason enough to show that the man is senile.
As far as the democrat party becoming anti-white, they recently fired a well qualified woman from a position in the DNC for no other reason than her skin was too pale.
Degeneracy is the new normal.
These days to be truly seen as an anti-social deviant you have to be into something really outrageous, like being a Christian (increasingly the religion that dare not speak its name).
Most people aren’t bothered by degeneracy because their teachers told them it was a good thing and they believed it. And every day the media tells them that degeneracy is good.
If the schools and the media push something most people will go along with it, because being popular matters.
We’ve been hearing predictions for half a century that there was going to a backlash against degeneracy. It hasn’t happened.
The few things that today still seem so disgustingly perverted that we can’t imagine they could ever be accepted will within ten years be regarded as not only normal and healthy but praiseworthy. The cultural revolution is still in its infancy.
Your irrelevant meanderings about ” Marx’s socialist contemporaries”, aside:
– You my not like the word ‘communism’, because it removes your camouflage / sheep’s clothing, but the facts remains it is the same as “socialism”.
And of course you dodged what I posted. Ah.
– The handbook of “socialism” is …. yep. that’s right, The Communist Manifesto‘
– A co-op is just that a co-op, and quite voluntary.
– Communism / Socialism is the epitome of coercion and force, it’s pure statism, government control of everything.
At least Bill Clinton will NEVER be First Man. It’s a token position to be sure (at least vice-presidents get unlimited booze) but the potential for scandal was massive.
Biden’s getting whacked because he’s ahead of his fellow Democrats in the polsl. What I love about this is that every time some older white liberal voter listens to Biden being attacked for being not woke enough, that white voter starts to feel terror in his stomach. Then he starts to think, maybe Trump is right. Minorities intend to destroy whites. That’s a person who isn’t going to vote Democratic any more.
Could the next Civil War be between minorities and whites? How well do minorities do at the job of officering and leading armies? Not well at all. How well do minorities handle advanced weapons technology? Not well at all. That requires brains. Our advanced tech is handled by white men, who, despite their various faults, do well at it because they’ve spent too much time videogaming. Who’s out there playing all that World of Warcraft stuff? White men, not blacks or Mexicans.
Is it Uncle Joe or is it:”I’m your Uncle Ernie”…fiddling about….
I seriously doubt that Stacey Abrams is capable of being paper trained….there would be such a mess in the Whitehouse…..
There is a little bit of history here that you may find interesting. Joe did not take on Hillary in 2016 because Hillary sabotaged his campaign before it started.
(What I am about to tell you was fully documented in the leaked Podesta emails, and completely ignored by major media outlets–though careful readers of the emails discussed it on-line at the time.)
In 2015 Biden had chosen regional fund raisers (Democratic power brokers in their area) and was planning to raise massive sums of money to take on Hillary in the Democratic primaries and caucuses.
What Biden didn’t know was that his chief of staff was a Hillary mole. Biden’s chief of staff leaked the list of the Biden fund raisers to the Hillary campaign.
Hillary then “reached out” to each of the Biden fundraisers (using some combination of carrots and sticks) and persuaded them to walk away from Biden.
Game/set/match.
Ron Jr. is not Reagan’s adopted son — he and Patti are Reagan’s biological children with Nancy. Michael Reagan is Reagan’s adoptive son. Michael Reagan has always been a staunch supporter of his adoptive father. It’s Ron Jr. and Patti who have trash-talked him for years.
Yes (I wish there were a “Wholeheartedly Agree” button).
An easy enough mistake to make when typing quickly. It’s not like you’ve ever written “loosing” when you mean “losing” or “effect” when you mean “affect,” as so many commenters do (although fewer on this website than on the more mainstream ones).
Bernie calls himself a (democratic) socialist, so why should we not call him that as well?
As I am completely turned off by this old, angry, arm-waving, congenital Bolshevik (just as I am by the angry old scold and fraudster, Warren), I have not bothered to research whether he has explicitly named corporations or industries he wants to take over. However, it would not surprise me if he has not specifically named any — why should he give such concrete material for his political opponents to use against him? It’s enough for me that he espouses “free” Medicare for all, “free” college tuition, and calls himself a (democratic) socialist to never come close to voting for him or anyone like him.
Socialism can’t work in a country as diverse as the U.S. It can only work with an extremely homogeneous population that has high average intelligence, common work ethic, and high social trust. We have too many freeloaders, low-IQ/violence-prone people, and diverse religious beliefs for socialism ever to work except by a government boot on our necks.
The Left always (knowingly and deliberately) ignores the distinction between “giving” and “not taking.” And/or they substitute Government for God in the Christian principle that God is the owner of everything and we are stewards.
Not denying that crony capitalism does exist, to a very high degree, in which Government does give massive favors to some politically connected businesses. The specialty of Democrats and Country Club Republicans.
Reagan proved that the United States runs better without a president than with one.
Michael Reagan has always worshiped the ground the Gipper walked on. With the exception of some usual adolescent rebellion, possibly extending into young adulthood.
Utter nonsense, as anyone who has had a wayward son or daughter can tell you (tell that to the parents of the Menendez brothers — but you probably think the parents deserved it). And I think it’s overstatement to say that Ron Jr. and Patti “hated his guts.”
His biological daughter, Maureen (with mother Jane Wyman, who never uttered a bad word about Reagan) and adopted son, Michael, always supported their father. If I had to guess, I would say it’s more likely that Ron Jr. and Patti inherited a type of mindset from their mother, Nancy, and/or were influenced by the times they were raised in.
Very interesting. I never bought Biden’s lame excuse that he didn’t feel up to running because of his son Beau’s recent death from brain cancer. Biden admitted that Beau, shortly before dying, told him he should run for the office, and he died in May of 2015, well before Biden had to start campaigning.
This is the level of argumentation from know nothing , indoctrinated , brain washed , from birth , people like you. To make things simpler for your capacity of reasoning : why , do you think , the capitalist have tried to kill this movement from its inception ?
But any significant armed conflict would not be between minorities and whites, it would be between Woke and Unwoke. And there are lots and lots of Woke whites.
And increasingly the Woke are well and truly embedded in the military and the police.
And what do you think of my take on Mr. Buchanan?
Right, but it especially sucks when you don’t realize it until the editing clock expires.
Tulsi baby just showed what a fraud she was by voting to condemn BDS. Voting is a fools errand and I think I’ll sit out from now on like you. Beyond the salty tweets and circus like rallies Trump’s presidency, at least on the policy front, is scarcely different from what Jeb! would have served up.
I’d say you’re correct about Buchanan pretending like all the Republican vs. Democrat food fights and red vs. blue drama is genuine political conflict. It’s kabuki theater for the masses and for all of the seeming intractable political discord somehow nothing ever changes. Jews and Israel always get what they demand (usually 538-0), we’re still being swamped by the third world, the rust belt is getting rustier every year and whites keep shrinking and losing political power. But keep voting team red! They’ll keep importing the third world, too, but at least it will be based on merit!
Pat used to call Repubs and Dems “two wings of the same bird of prey” but apparently he got tired of getting in trouble for driving outside the beltway’s (((cast iron political guardrails))) not getting invites to FOX and cuckservative talk radio and has decided to keep up the beltway charade until the end of his days.
“I have not bothered to research whether he has explicitly named corporations or industries he wants to take over.”
Your clairvoyance aside, don’t bother looking. You won’t find any.
you mean woke cops that stand there while PANTIFA beats on helpless cuck conservatives?
The police and military are not on your side. The years of integration have filled both with Foreigners/Darkies, enough White ones either are cucks or won’t make a fuss.
LARPers who think they’re in the American Revolution yapping about fighting the Deep State or waging war are silly.
Not really. Farmer’s Co-ops are private companies owned by their members, who can sell or transfer their interests. In Britain, there was the Co-operative Movement, starting in 1844. It had a strong influence on the early British Labour Party. Although technically voluntary organisations owned by their members, the members could not sell or transfer their interest, and effective control was and is in the of boards of directors or committees.
In 1918, the British Labour Party abandoned “Co-operative Socialism” in favour of State Socialism. The Co-operative Societies still make considerable financial donations to the Labour Party, regardless of the views of their members, since they have self perpetuating Labour majorities on their committees.
State Socialism was the preferred description of Communist States before the collapse. Communism was merely a totalitarian form of State Socialism.
T
Do not underestimate the stupidity of the white liberal.
Sanders espouses “free” Medicare for all and “free” college tuition. There’s no “clairvoyance” involved in that at all. There’s also no “clairvoyance” in recognizing an old, angry, arm-waving, congenital Bolshevik giving the same spiel, time after time. It’s all there, out in the open, for all to see. I need go no further.
Astute comment (#60). A particularly effective and beneficent form of socialism prevailed for a period of 12 years in a population just as you describe but, as you know, it was crushed for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was its effectiveness on behalf of and beneficence towards its people.
There is a precedent for Nancy running the country during Alzheimer Ron’s second term. Woodrow Wilson suffered a paralyzing stroke in Oct. 1919. His wife, Edith, ran the country through March 1921, the end of his term. The compliant press mostly kept the actual state of Wilson’s health from the American public (the kept press also shielded the public from knowledge of the vicious cripple FDR’s polio affliction). No matter, as hardly anyone noticed any difference in how the country functioned with Edith or Nancy running the show. Considering the recent spate of dolts and crooks who have obtained the office, it appears to be an easy job guaranteeing the occupant vast wealth and unlimited publicity…..unless one of the secret police agencies takes a dislike to you (JFK).
Most of my comments could be categorized as rather self-evident, but I believe in the beauty of simple truths. I don’t find many of the obtuse or haughtily-nuanced comments posted by some to this website to be particularly enlightening or instructive of a path forward.
If you see that as a problem, try reading and thinking more before weighing in, and then questioning instead of castigation.
I didn’t say that I saw anything as a problem, and I was neither questioning nor “castigation”…nor was I responding to you. And I will “weigh in” whenever I please. So GSYS.
You could argue that capitalism can’t work in the U.S. for the same reasons. Or that democracy can’t work in the U.S. for the same reasons. And democracy is demonstrably not working in the U.S.
If you have social chaos then arguably you won’t survive without socialism. And authoritarianism.
Polls are the evidence that Biden would beat Trump.
On every issue mentioned, open borders, single payer health care, student loan “forgiveness”, etc: Trump and the Republican party represents the majority, mainstream, common sense view while the Democratic Party represents an absurd position.
In simple pro/anti Trump popularity contest, where the universities, the tech giants, all the established pundits, and the entire entertainment industry all spin news for the Democrats, Trump would lose. In a popularity contest of unhinged left-wing radicals vs Trump representing the status quo of peace and prosperity, Trump wins. What will happen in 2020? I have no idea.
You can argue all those things, but I won’t.
