It is misleading to state it was a voluntary decision by Biden.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><b>False Democratic Credentials<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">It is clear from what follows below that it is a SHAM for the Democratic Party now led by Kamala Harris to pretend that the Party is the standard-bearer of DEMOCRACY in the United States. Its leadership which is part of this charade include holier-than-thou persons such as<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Obama, Clintons, Pelosi and Chuck Schumer:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">1) In the absence of any \u2018primary\u2019 let alone an \u2018open\u2019 primary, Harris by a sleight of hand\u00a0was \u2018gifted\u2019 the majority of the delegates said to have been \u2018won\u2019 by the feeble and cognitively impaired Biden. The Democratic Party did not give an opportunity for others including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be on the ballot for the \u2018primary\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">2) Despite Biden\u2019s cognitive impairment being obvious even in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election, these standard-bearers of democracy in cahoots with most of the mainstream media perpetuated the MYTH that Biden is sharp as a tack. <span class=\"s4\">Quite often Biden is literally not aware of his surroundings<\/span>. Even now after Biden\u2019s disastrous debate with Trump Harris and her \u2018democratic\u2019 gang only refer to his \u2018old age\u2019!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p11\">3) Readers can log into Biden\u2019s\u00a0<span class=\"s4\">\u2018Man on the Moon\u2019<\/span> gaffe<b>\u00a0<\/b>at the CNN Town Hall held on 21 July<\/p>\n<p class=\"p11\">2021 (6 months into his presidency) which left even the pro-Biden interviewer\u00a0Don Lemon embarrassed and decide for themselves whether any\u00a0RATIONAL\u00a0person would have voted for him at the 3 November 2020 presidential election let alone the claimed\u00a081\u00a0Million persons?

It is a myth to state that he \u2018voluntarily\u2019 stepped aside.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1yP7RiA6WO4?si=pJj3YqKLwSA4AmAJ\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><b>Is the 2020 Presidential Election Legitimate?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">It is obvious that \u2018MAIL-IN\u2019 voting is less transparent than \u2018IN-PERSON\u2019\u00a0voting and is far more susceptible to abuse. What boggles one\u2019s imagination is that at the\u00a02020 presidential election held in the midst of the Covid crisis, the vast\u00a0preponderance of mail-in votes was for Biden. Are we to assume that Covid is selective and mainly affects Biden\u2019s voters?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p11\"><span class=\"s2\">The respected <span class=\"s4\">\u2018Pew Research Center\u2019<\/span><\/span><b> <\/b>had this to say<b> <\/b>about the 2020 presidential election:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">\u201cA majority of Biden voters said they voted absentee or by mail in the 2020 election (58%). By contrast, about a third of Trump voters (32%) voted by mail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">\u201cTrump performed much better among voters who cast their ballots in person on Election Day (65% for Trump vs. 33% for Biden). These shares were reversed among absentee and mail-in voters: 65% of absentee voters said they voted for Biden, compared with 33% who voted for Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">The basis of most legal cases against Trump is his alleged\u00a0\u2018BIG LIE\u2019\u00a0that the 2020 presidential election giving victory to Biden is unlawful\/flawed. From what is given above, is not Trump SPOT-ON to reach this conclusion?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">Another\u00a0CANARD<b>\u00a0<\/b>is that Trump INSTIGATED<b>\u00a0<\/b>his supporters to protest VIOLENTLY on 6 January 2021 against the unlawful\/flawed election. His detractors\u00a0IGNORING\u00a0his exhortation to protestors to\u00a0<b>\u201cpeacefully and patriotically make your voices heard\u201d\u00a0<\/b>have mischievously characterized the emotional protest that controversially went wrong as an \u2018INSURRECTION\u2019. It is noteworthy that every single investigation eager to \u2018nail\u2019 Trump has glaringly omitted this exhortation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><b>Weaponization of DOJ<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">On the weaponization of the US Justice system (DOJ) against Trump by the Biden White House and he being a \u201cconvicted felon\u201d, I cite as an example the opinion of well known CNN presenter <span class=\"s4\">Fareed Zakaria<\/span><span class=\"s5\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>(3:38 onwards) who is not a fan of Trump:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">\u201cI doubt the New York indictment would have been brought against a defendant if his name was not Donald Trump\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">I also quote <span class=\"s4\">\u2018Wall Street Journal\u2019<\/span> (23 October 2024) columnist James Freeman:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p13\">\u201cRemember the guy whose cognitive challenges were so great that a Justice Department special counsel said he could not be successfully prosecuted despite evidence of willfully violating the law? It\u2019s the same guy the Democratic Party considered so impaired that he was denied the presidential nomination even after winning every party primary and caucus except the one in American Samoa. <b>Believe it or not, he\u2019s still the president of the United States and he continues to accept public speaking invitations, of all things<\/b>.\u201d (emphasis mine)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">It is no coincidence that arguably the most globally acknowledged savvy technocrat who is also said to be the richest person on earth \u2013 Elon Musk is an avid Trump supporter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">All this logic and ground reality can come apart if there is a\u00a0REPEAT\u00a0of what took place in the run-up to and in the aftermath of the highly flawed 2020 US presidential election. The forces against \u2018outsider\u2019 Trump are powerful and relentless. Most of the mainstream media which include CNN and their so-called \u2018independent\u2019 journalists are not even embarrassed to be so biased and openly against Trump. They only fact-check him and give Biden and Harris a \u2018free pass\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p10\"><span class=\"s6\">The future for democracy let alone prospects for fair elections in the US seem bleak when Democratic Party Governor of California <span class=\"s7\">\u201cGavin Newsom signs into law bill banning local voter ID requirements\u201d<\/span><\/span>. <span class=\"s6\">Elon Musk responds in his Twitter (X) account &#8211; <\/span>\u201cWow, it is now illegal to require voter ID in California\u201d!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DavsS6AAjeo?si=8FLy1fvjK-sxtv4x\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">The demonization of Trump is the modus operandi of his detractors who panic at the thought he will drain the \u2018Washington Swamp\u2019!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">I close with what one of the most influential persons in the global financial industry,\u00a0<span class=\"s4\">Jamie Dimon<\/span> &#8211; Chairman\/CEO, JP Morgan Chase said to some visibly embarrassed CNBC presenters in Davos this year:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">\u201cI don\u2019t think they\u2019re voting for Trump because of his family values.
