'Trump would reverse Biden’s energy ideocracy'

How dare those people try to stave off a crushing defeat for Democrats? That was the theme on Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend. Hosts and guests alike lashed out at the Democrats and members of the liberal media who are calling on Biden to quit the race. Jennifer Horn, a co-founder of the Lincoln Project, who quit in the wake of the sex scandal that engulfed fellow co-founder John Weaver, kicked off the attack on those calling on Biden to vamoose: "The response of a very small number of Democrats that have really come out after the president, and some of the media folks that have really come down on him since the election [sic, presumably "debate'] have done more damage and more harm than the president himself did during that debate . . . It is naive to think that at this point in the process, you can switch candidates and still defeat Donald Trump." Co-host and still member of the Lincoln Project Michael Steele upped the anger ante, demanding to know "what the hell are these people thinking?" Steele asks this whenever Biden is challenged. Symone Sanders-Townsend, hard-hitting journalist that she . . .  isn't, apologized for asking Biden campaign aide Michael Tyler to respond to criticism of Biden for his answer to Stephanopoulos' question as to how he'd feel if he stays in the race and loses, and all the things that he warned about come to pass. Biden's garbled response seemed to be that he'd be okay with it so long as he did his "goodest."  The criticism is that Biden was making it about himself, rather than about the goal of beating Trump. Sanders-Townsend:  "I want to be clear. That ain't my criticism. But enough people are saying it that we gonna have to ask you to respond." The question arises: what is the motivation of Horn, Steele, and Symone-Sanders in attacking those who are calling on Biden to quit? Do they believe, all indications notwithstanding, that Biden has a bona fide chance of beating Trump?  Stephanopoulos's question to Biden is equally applicable to the trio. How will they feel if Biden, buoyed by their encouragement and that of other like-minded people, digs in his heels, stays in the race, and not only goes down to defeat but takes many House and Senate members down with him? In any case, Republicans can sit back, fire up the popcorn machine, and enjoy the spectacle of the Democrat party tearing itself apart as it wrangles with Biden's dire predicament. MSNBC The Weekend 7/6/24 8:10 am EDT JENNIFER HORN: I would suggest that the response of that very small number of Democrats that have really come out after the president, and some of the media folks that have really come down on him since the, since the election [sic, presumably "debate'] have done more damage and more harm than the president himself did during that debate.  For me, and millions of Americans like me, this election is about the future of our country . . . It is naive to think that at this point in the process, you can switch candidates and still defeat Donald Trump. . . .  MICHAEL STEELE: I really wish [sighs], I really wish Democrats would understand exactly what they're doing right now to their opportunity this November, four months from now. They, I just have never seen such an absolute creation of a wasteland around a candidate by his own people. So Basil, you've got Senator Mark Warner trying to organize a group of Democratic senators [quoting from an NBC News article] to meet next week to discuss what to do amid concerns about Biden's electability and the potential for a drag on down-ballot races for the House and Senate, four sources familiar with the outreach told NBC News on Friday. To the very important point you made, you trashed Kamala Harris for the last three years, right? So a lot of folks in the electorate and certainly within the party say, I don't think I want to do that. Now you're trashing the president and you're going to have another meeting now with senators. What the hell are these people thinking is going to happen when you turn into September, and whether it's Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket at that point, or Joe Biden, or, I don't know, pick a rando [sic, presumably slang for random] Democrat and make them the nominee. What do you think the Republicans are going to do with that? They don't have to -- the only commercials they have to do are run the stupid things that are being said now. BASIL SMIKLE: Well, can I tell you? One of the first things I learned in politics is, don't say anything that can be used in a commercial against you. STEELE: Thank you! SMIKLE: And that is, that's exactly what's happening right now. . . .  SYMONE SANDERS-TOWNSEND: George Stephanopoulos asked the president, if he stays in, and Trump is elected and everything you're worryig about comes to pass, how will you feel in January? We do have the sound so I'm going to play it for you and get your reaction on the other side. GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Mr. President, I've never seen a President with 36% approval get re-elected. JOE BIDEN: Well, I don't believe that's my approval rating. That's not what our polls show. STEPHANOPOULOS: And if you stay in, and Trump is elected, and everything you are warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January? BIDEN: I'd feel that as long as I gave it my all and did the goodest [sic] job as I know I can do, that's what this is about. SANDERS-TOWNSEND: Michael Tyler, how do you respond to the criticism that in that answer, the president made it about himself, and it is not about him giving it his all. It should be about beating Donald Trump. I want to be clear. That ain't my criticism. But enough people are saying it that we gonna have to ask you to respond. MICHAEL TYLER: Yeah, absolutely. Look, the president is making clear that nobody is going to fight harder to defeat Donald Trump than Joe Biden.

Authorities ruled that 20-year-old Daelena Mackay died by suicide on May 23. However, her Hollywood actor father believes something far more sinister happened to her daughter a month before her 21st birthday. A man claiming to be Daelena's boyfriend called 911 to report that he discovered Mackay lifeless at her apartment. Daelena was allegedly hanging from the shower curtain rod by a red scarf.The man said he untied the scarf and took her down before starting CPR until paramedics arrived, but he could not revive her. She was pronounced dead by paramedics just after midnight.The unnamed man told investigators that the couple had an argument around 8 p.m. that night and returned to her apartment to find her dead, according to the police report. However, Daelena's family claims that the couple broke up in January. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner ruled her death a suicide by hanging and said an autopsy "was not required" due to an "external examination and the circumstances of her death being conclusive," according to the Daily Mail.Daelena's father – Hollywood actor Dwayne Adway — suspects that his daughter's death was not by suicide. “I’m trying to apply pressure to the LAPD,” Adway told the New York Post on Saturday. “They are dead set on staying where they are and not looking more into the case. This seems to be happening a lot in LA with black and brown girls who die and are written off as suicides.”The LAPD said the case was thoroughly investigated.Daelena's mother – Elaine Mackay – is also suspicious of the way her daughter died. "Her body tells a different story than what police are telling us, with bruises and bleeding from two puncture wounds approximately an inch apart that go from the front of her body straight through to the back and other bleeding,” Mackay told the Daily Mail.Mackay added, “All of these findings that I found because I was left no choice but to have to examine her body myself, the county coroner left out of his report. Only toxicology was done by county coroner, no autopsy.”Adway said he is against doing a private autopsy after he consulted with two forensic pathologists who told him that if she was strangled, their autopsy results would be similar to that of the medical examiner's. “The issue is not that she was strangled, but the manner in which she was strangled is the question,” Adway said. “The pathologists would not be able to determine that. That is up to the LAPD and both the mom and I have been to see them about investigating this case more.”The distraught mother vehemently disagreed, "This autopsy is crucial in the case and I don’t understand why her father would choose to forgo the autopsy when he knows it’s vital. All because I don’t have ‘my half’ when he has money, more than enough to just pay for it in full. Why would he do our daughter like this she’s just been sitting at the mortuary since June 18?”Mackay insists that her daughter did not commit suicide. “My daughter was not suicidal, she saw a therapist the day before and [they] said there was zero clinical indication of depression or suicide, that my daughter was full of life, very much excited about life,” Mackay stated. “She was so excited about winning a poetry contest and her upcoming 21st birthday, she was actively pursuing modeling and acting after her parents’ footsteps.”Adway told KNBC, "I am heartbroken and grieving the loss of my beautiful smart and talented daughter," said her father, actor Dwayne Adway. "I am seeking a full investigation from LAPD in hopes of finding the truth and justice."Adway has 43 acting credits to his name, including popular TV shows such as “CSI,” “NYPD Blue,” “ER,” and “Sons of Anarchy.” He also appeared in Hollywood movies "Bad As I Wanna Be: The Dennis Rodman Story," "Soul Plane," and "Into the Blue." His IMDb page does not show any acting roles since 2015. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
