Last week, the White House and its left-wing media apparatus adopted a new phrase, “cheap fakes,” to try and deflect from the decrepit president, Joe Biden. But there was nothing “fake” about Biden’s Thursday debate performance, which is why the left is now openly — and rightfully — questioning Biden’s fitness for office.

But make no mistake, the media’s deliberate gaslighting of the American public for years about Biden’s health and mental agility has put us in grave danger, and calls for Biden to be replaced are a tacit admission of that.

Axios’ Alex Thompson said on CNN in the wake of the debate that the White House had gaslit and lied not only to the American people about Biden’s age, but also to reporters.

While it may be true that the White House gaslit the public, the media deserves to shoulder just as much blame as the White House, if not more. It doesn’t take an expert to see Biden falling up the stairs, over sandbags, and off his bike to question his physical limitations. It certainly doesn’t take an expert to hear Biden’s incoherent gaffes and mumbling to question his mental acuity.

If an 81-year-old showed up for a job interview acting the way Biden does, he’d be sat in a waiting room until police could determine which nursing home he escaped from. So, an actually functioning press would have relentlessly covered this clear danger to our national security, but instead they published whatever talking points the

Will Democrats replace Joe Biden as their presidential nominee?

It’s not that simple, logistically or politically, as long he’s still alive. States have pretty strict rules on last-second ballot changes, but Democrats have always found ways to get courts to rewrite laws for them at the last second. Just look at what they did for Frank Lautenberg and Robert Torricelli in New Jersey. It would be a heavy lift but not an impossible one.

The real problem for Democrats is political: Removing Biden as nominee requires them to deny and reject the election results of their voters in all 50 states after they spent four years accusing everyone else of being “election deniers.” They also will have a very hard time removing Biden as nominee but leaving him in as president. If he’s not mentally fit to be on the campaign trail or debate stage, how on Earth can he be fit enough to remain as president? The downsides of that strategy are immense, with little upside.

And that brings us to the real problem for Democrats: Kamala Harris. They know she’s political kryptonite because she’s both incredibly stupid and extremely unlikeable. Democrat voters can’t even stand her. So if they manage to get rid of Biden both as nominee and as president, they end up stuck with her, which might even be worse than doing nothing. Do they really want to be in the position of preventing the first female president from running as an incumbent?

In ruling against the Department of Justice’s weaponization of the law to target political opponents, the Supreme Court just shot down two of special counsel Jack Smith’s four charges against former President Donald Trump — but the fight isn’t over.

The Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision Friday in Fischer v. United States that found the DOJ inappropriately used federal statute 18 U.S. Code § 1512(c) to prosecute individuals involved in the Jan. 6 riot. The statute carries a 20-year prison sentence for anyone who “corruptly”:

(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding; or

(2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so.

The statute has been, as my colleague Tristan Justice explained, “the basis for keeping many protesters in jail without bond for months or even years before they reached trial.”

“It’s never before been used in the way the DOJ has applied it to Jan. 6 protesters,” Justice continued.

Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, warned that the DOJ’s broad interpretation of the statute to charge more than 300 defendants with felonies “would criminalize a broad swath of prosaic conduct, exposing activists and lobbyists alike to decades in prison.”

And while the Supreme Court’s ruling would surely mean that two of the charges against Trump are illegal, President Joe Biden’s DOJ has
