A Prayer to Grow in HospitalityBy Megan Evans “When God's people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.” – Romans 12:13 (NLT) In today's world, the idea of hospitality can be intimidating. So growing in this area can feel monumental if our thoughts gravitate towards the standard of decorative Pinterest boards, recipe blogs, or the latest DIY tutorial. I've often wondered why we humans are driven to make our homes and tables beautiful, and I think it points to the way God made us for relationships and connection. But more than talents or trends, He calls us to love and serve others. The Bible has a lot to say about the heart of hospitality, and this is encouraging for any of us who lack the desire or courage to welcome and host today. Romans 12:13 says, "When God's people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality." I don't know about you, but eagerness does not always describe me in this area. Sadly, sometimes, my first thought is about the work involved. Can you relate? It's important to remember why we serve over what we serve.  The word "hospitality" used in this verse comes from the Greek word meaning to be hospitable and to show love to strangers. Combine that with the readiness to help people in need, and we see the Body of Christ. Whether in our homes or out in the world, we show Jesus to others when we are gracious, generous, and genuine. Jesus and his disciples depended on this kind of hospitality, as did the early church, for ministry and the spread of the gospel message. In each scenario, menus and rooms took a back seat to the greater focus of ministry. Doors were opened, needs were met, and people were loved for the sake of The Gospel. While our society is more cautious about strangers today, the basic principle remains. We are to love and serve with Christ-like affection, attitude, and action. Jesus reminds us not to get lost in the distractions and details as we serve. In Luke 10:41, Martha opened her home and began to prepare Jesus and the disciples a big meal, while her sister Mary remained at Jesus's feet, listening to his teaching. Martha was shouldering the work and asked Jesus to tell her to help. He replied "My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her." Growing in hospitality is about growing our heart's focus. After Peter was freed from jail by an angel, he ran to the home of John Mark's mother. Many were gathered there in prayer and the fact that her servant Rhoda recognized Peter's voice at the door would indicate this was a familiar setting (Acts 12:9-14). Later, Paul and others discovered a prayer meeting taking place by a riverbank where they met Lydia, who welcomed their message and opened her home (Acts 16:15). Additionally, Priscilla and Aquilla demonstrated hospitality on the go. They met Apollos in a synagogue who only knew of John the Baptist, so they made time to disciple him before their missionary travels with Paul began (Acts 18:26). What does this look like today? How can we grow in hospitality? Perhaps the first step is to look around at the needs of our churches and community and then open the door of our hearts. Parking lot and door greeters are some of the very first people church visitors meet, and once inside, they await more inviting smiles. What a wonderful way to grow in hospitality to engage and connect–take an intentional step this week by saying hello to someone new! Is there a need for welcoming arms in your church nursery to provide care and God's love? Are there small groups in need of a meeting place? Maybe there is a friend or neighbor who would enjoy a cup of coffee at your kitchen table; never underestimate the variety of "riverbank" parks and coffee shops. Keep details simple and focused on Jesus, and remember to have fun! Let's pray: Father God, help me grow in hospitality so that I may show your love to others. Make me aware of people around me who want a friend or have a need I can meet. Give me a desire to open my home and let all worldly comparison fall away. Forgive me for the times I have let details take over. My home is YOUR home, and I choose this day to be obedient in response to the lead of your Holy Spirit. Help me invite and welcome people, new and old, into my house or challenge me to host elsewhere. It is inspiring to read about the early church and the importance of having a place to meet, eat, and pray. Help me see Kingdom value in the ministry of hospitality to all ages. Grow in me a spirit of eagerness to practice hospitality and destroy all the lies of the enemy telling me that I am not talented enough or that my house is not trendy, tidy, or big enough. Open my heart and direct me this week to one way I can begin to serve and welcome others.In Jesus' Name, Amen.

This is a breaking news alert! Per a report just announced from NBC News, Joe Biden has called his family to an emergency meeting at Camp David tomorrow (Sunday) to “discuss the status of his campaign”. Of course, no one believes there’s any discussion to be had. Joe is told what to do, always has been, always will be.  Especially now. This is all for optics. But the optics are pointing to him dropping out tomorrow. Watch this short clip to understand more: Backup here if needed: BREAKING: Biden might announce he’s quitting, tomorrow, per NBC, as he’s reviewing the future of his campaign with family. pic.twitter.com/aCkJ933S2N — Meet Kevin (@realMeetKevin) June 30, 2024 This all comes from a stunning report just released from NBC News: President Joe Biden is expected to discuss the future of his re-election campaign with family at Camp David on Sunday, following a nationally televised debate Thursday that left many fellow Democrats worried about his ability to beat former President Donald Trump in November, according to five people familiar with the matter. Biden’s trip was planned before Thursday’s debate. He and first lady Jill Biden are scheduled to join their children and grandchildren there late Saturday. So far, the party’s top leaders have offered public support for Biden, including in tweets posted by former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Senior congressional Democrats, including Reps. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Jim Clyburn of South Carolina and Nancy Pelosi of California, have privately expressed concerns about his viability, said two sources apprised of those discussions, even as they all publicly back the president. One Democratic House member who believes Biden should drop out of the race — but has yet to call for that publicly — told NBC News that three colleagues expressed the same sentiment to him during votes on the House floor Friday. House leaders have not wavered publicly, and their aides denied that they are expressing doubts behind closed doors. “Speaker Pelosi has full confidence in President Biden and looks forward to attending his inauguration on January 20, 2025,” Ian Krager, a spokesman for the former House speaker said. “Any suggestion that she has engaged in a different course of action is simply not true.” Christie Stephenson, a spokeswoman for Jeffries, the House minority leader, said her boss has “repeatedly made clear publicly and privately that he supports President Joe Biden and the Democratic ticket from top to bottom.” Brianna Frias said that Clyburn, who is traveling to Wisconsin this weekend to campaign for the president, “has total confidence in President Joe Biden and the Biden-Harris ticket. “Any reports alleging that the Congressman has expressed anything other than firm support of President Biden are completely untrue,” Frias said. At the same time, there is an understanding among top Democrats that Biden should be given space to determine next steps. They believe only the president, in consultation with his family, can decide whether to move forward or to end his campaign early — and that he won’t respond well to being pushed. “The decision-makers are two people — it’s the president and his wife,” one of the sources familiar with the discussions said, adding: “Anyone who doesn’t understand how deeply personal and familial this decision will be isn’t knowledgeable about the situation.” This account of a president and his party in crisis just a little more than four months before an election they say will determine the fate of democracy is drawn from interviews with more than a dozen Democratic officials, operatives, aides and donors. All of them spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to describe matters as sensitive as whether a sitting president might give up his re-election bid and how he could be replaced on the ballot. Despite delivering a rousing speech at a rally in North Carolina on Friday that calmed some of his allies, Biden was described by one person familiar with his mood as humiliated, devoid of confidence and painfully aware that the physical images of him at the debate — eyes staring into the distance, mouth agape — will live beyond his presidency, along with a performance that at times was meandering, incoherent and difficult to hear. “It’s a mess,” this person said. Another person familiar with the dynamics said Biden will ultimately listen to only one adviser. “The only person who has ultimate influence with him is the first lady,” this person said. “If she decides there should be a change of course, there will be a change of course.” After publication of this report, a source familiar reached out to stress that the Camp David gathering was not a formal family meeting. “Any discussion about the campaign is expected to be informal or an afterthought,” the source said. “No one is sitting down for a formal or determinative discussion.” Anita Dunn, one of Biden’s handful of closest advisers, said on MSNBC’s “The Weekend” Saturday that Biden has not discussed dropping out of the race with aides and that internal talks have focused on moving forward. “We had a bad debate,” Dunn said. “What do we do next? You know, the president, above all, is focused on what do we do next? What do I need to go do?” These private discussions among Biden, his family members and his top advisers are being held against the backdrop of a reckoning for Democrats who were shocked both by Biden’s appearance and the frequency with which his train of thought appeared to veer off track. We’ve told you all along that this would happen. We told you over a year ago there would be a Biden “swap out” coming. We told you the night of the debate when everyone was celebrating President Trump’s win that this was not good news! DEBATE UPDATE: Joe Biden Imploded Tonight, No One Disagrees — But Here’s Why That’s Very BAD News! DEBATE UPDATE: Joe Biden Imploded Tonight, No One Disagrees -- But Here's Why That's Very BAD News! It's nearly universal.... President Trump mopped the floor with Joe Biden tonight. Actually, it wasn't that President Trump was THAT good.... He was good, yes. Very well done. But it was the fact that Biden was THAT bad..... So we should celebrate, right? Not so fast. Not so fast at all. This is very bad news, and I'll explain why in just a moment. But first look at everyone celebrating Biden's demise: This shit is OVER. ??Let’s go Trump!! — Dean Cain (@RealDeanCain) June 28, 2024 In 1986 Mike Tyson knocked out Marvis Frazier in the first 30 seconds of the first round. Tonight, a former President broke his record in a heavy weight fight. — Patrick Bet-David (@patrickbetdavid) June 28, 2024 Hearing that the Bloomberg Terminal is telling Wall Street: "The first 50 minutes of the debate have been rough for Biden." -Stock futures are up, pricing in a #Trump win. — Meet Kevin (@realMeetKevin) June 28, 2024 If this #PresidentialDebate was a prize fight the ref would have already stopped it. — Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) June 28, 2024 After the first commercial break, I asked my focus group of undecided voters how many of them are more convinced to vote for Joe Biden. Zero raised their hands. Half of them say they voted for Biden in 2020. — Frank Luntz (@FrankLuntz) June 28, 2024 It’s over. President Trump won. — Gunther Eagleman (@GuntherEagleman) June 28, 2024 it doesn't matter what the answers are anymore. the debate demonstrates what we already knew: biden is not fit to be president. its sad that it had to come to this - to force this elderly man through this. and force us to watch. this is gross. — GregGutfeld (@greggutfeld) June 28, 2024 Trump is killing it. Biden ... OMG. — Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) June 28, 2024 jesus stop this — GregGutfeld (@greggutfeld) June 28, 2024 10 minutes into the debate and the drugs are not strong enough pic.twitter.com/j3M1VCoCnQ — Wall Street Silver (@WallStreetSilv) June 28, 2024 And look....none of them are wrong. It's all true! Trump was great. Biden imploded! But we have to stop for a second and ask ourselves why? Did they just get his dosing wrong? I don't think so. I think so. The State of the Union was only a few months ago, and to be fair he looked sharp there. They pumped him full of so many drugs he looked fairly decent. They could have done the same thing here, but they chose not to. Why? Because this was the final death knell of Joe Biden. They needed to kill him off, politically speaking. That's why this debate had to be so early. So historically early. Never been done before. Why? Had to be before the Democratic National Convention before they officially nominate their candidate. Now they can dump Joe and roll in Michelle or Newsom. And that is VERY bad news. In fact, they may go so extreme as to remove Joe even from office now via the 25th Amendment: He is not only not fit for the debate, he needs to be removed as President right now. — Brian Costello (@bpcostello) June 28, 2024 You should not be celebrating this. Trump will steamroll Joe. But Newsom? Much tougher. And that's why Joe had to be killed off tonight. Here's what I just posted to Twitter: BREAKING: The Race just changed BIG LEAGUE tonight and no one sees it. Joe Biden got destroyed in the debate tonight, right? Right. We all saw it. YAY! Right? No. This was intentional. They rolled him out there to fail. They need to ditch the dead weight. It's why we had the earliest Presidential debate in history. Have to kill of Joe, so they can roll in Newsom or Michelle. We told you all along this was coming. This is not to be celebrated. Joe lost because they wanted him to implode. No meds. He sounded worse than an elderly dementia patient. Because they wanted him to. He's gone. The DNC has not held their convention yet. They will not nominate Joe. They will sub in Newsom or Michelle. They will cite the 25th Amendment and "extenuating circumstances". Or Joe may literally die before now and then if that's what has to happen. The signal was sent tonight....Joe is done. BREAKING: The Race just changed BIG LEAGUE tonight and no one sees it. Joe Biden got destroyed in the debate tonight, right? Right. We all saw it. YAY! Right? No. This was intentional. They rolled him out there to fail. They need to ditch the dead weight.… pic.twitter.com/yuVHQG7lMB — DailyNoah.com (@DailyNoahNews) June 28, 2024 Heads up folks....here comes Gavin Newsom: Gavin Newsom Spotted In The Spin Room Of The CNN Atlanta, Georgia Debate To Help Biden Or Michelle: Michelle Obama Is REFUSING To Campiagn For Biden, Here’s Why Michelle Obama Is REFUSING To Campiagn For Biden, Here's Why A new report revealed that former First Lady Michelle Obama had not been campaigning for Biden due to personal frustrations with the Biden family. Fox News reported that Michelle Obama expressed “private frustrations” with the Bidens due to their treatment of her friend Kathleen Bible, who previously divorced Hunter Biden. Buhle and Michelle Obama became friends while her husband was president and Joe Biden was vice president. Hunter Biden and Kathleen Buhle divorced in 2017, and Buhle has since been exiled from the Biden family, which has angered Michelle. Michelle Obama has also distanced herself from Biden after Hunter Biden started dating his late brother Beau’s wife. Michelle reportedly described the relationship as “weird sh*t.” Michelle Obama not campaigning for Biden over exile of Hunter’s ex-wife Kathleen Buhle: report https://t.co/DOYVZ3vY9p pic.twitter.com/Z0BTzfw8of — New York Post (@nypost) June 27, 2024 Check out what Fox News reported: Michelle Obama has expressed private frustration with the Bidens over the treatment of her friend Kathleen Buhle after her divorce from Hunter Biden. It has made her reluctant to openly campaign for the president, according to a new report. The former first lady became friends with Buhle while her husband was in office and Joe Biden was his vice president, and they have since remained close. Hunter Biden and Buhle separated in 2015 and divorced in 2017. Buhle wrote in her memoir "If We Break" about his addictions and infidelity fracturing their marriage, and she was "largely exiled" from the family after their split, according to the Axios report. According to the report, the Biden family was irked by Buhle's book, although it came out a year after Hunter Biden's 2021 memoir "Beautiful Things," which delved into his addiction issues. Axios also reported in 2017 that former President Obama attended a Wilmington, Delaware, fundraiser for the Beau Biden Foundation, a children's advocacy group. At the time, the recently divorced Hunter Biden was dating his late brother's widow, Hallie Biden. According to a source who spoke to Axios, Obama described the dynamics on display as "weird s--t," although he has since denied making such a statement. Michelle Obama privately told others she felt Buhle had been wronged in the aftermath of the marriage's collapse, and she has not been out front on the campaign trail for President Biden as he faces his re-election battle against former President Trump. She does active work with a voter registration group, however. EXCLUSIVE: Michelle Obama has privately expressed frustration over how the Bidens largely exiled her close friend Kathleen Buhle after her messy divorce from Hunter Biden. That's partly why she hasn't campaigned for Biden's re-election. https://t.co/WM0CBn8JR9 — Axios (@axios) June 27, 2024 Per The New York Post: Former first lady Michelle Obama is reluctant to publicly campaign for President Biden’s re-election because, in part, of how the family treated Kathleen Buhle, her close friend, in the wake of her divorce from Hunter Biden, a new report claims. The wife of former President Barack Obama has largely steered clear of the 2024 campaign trail after expressing frustration in private over Buhle’s apparent exile from the Biden family years earlier, Axios reported, citing two sources familiar with the relationship. Michelle’s disdain for partisan politics is also partly to blame for her absence so far this election cycle, the sources added. So....do you think that's the true reason? Or do you think it might have something more to do with this? Is Michelle Obama Angling to Replace Biden For 2024? "Big Mike" waiting in the wings? Is Michelle Obama Angling to Replace Biden For 2024? Is Joe Biden really going to be the Democrat presidential nominee for this year's election? Or, do Democrats have something up their sleeves? Planning to sneak someone else in as Biden's last-minute replacement? According to legendary New York Post columnist Cindy Adams, that's exactly what Dems are planning. And, they have someone specific in mind to replace Biden with... "Plans are to grab Michelle for the Democratic presidency choice. Making the music is Barack the orchestra leader," Adams warned, "The Obamas are now nudging to force SloMo Joe to go. Drop out. It’s like who else is there?" The World is once again moving to Most Dangerous Era of Wars & Genocide! Michelle Obama can "sneak her way" into 2024 Presidential Race. Huge pressure being built on Joe Biden to opt out of re-run.

Barack Obama is in many peoples view the acting president behind the scenes in the Biden… — Jericho (@JerichoXVI) January 19, 2024 Earlier this month, Michelle Obama made headlines with a media appearance in which she admitted she was "terrified about what could happen" in the next election, "Because our leaders matter. Who we select. Who speaks for us. Who holds that bully pulpit." Here's a clip from that podcast interview: Michelle Obama says she is kept awake at night due to the upcoming election: "I am terrified about what could happen" pic.twitter.com/3kOCmJe9jB — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) January 8, 2024 So, is Michelle angling to sneak her way in to the presidential nominee position? Read this New York Post opinion piece excerpt and decide for yourself: Biden won’t debate. Can’t. Our codger-in-chief can’t even read the prewritten script in front of him fast enough to pronounce the words. So, forget him — which most of us already have. Coming back now — Obama. Not him. HER! We’ve heard this drumbeat for a while. Now it’s louder. Plans are to grab Michelle for the Democratic presidency choice. Making the music is Barack the orchestra leader. Michelle says she’s “terrified” Trump will win. No casual burp. Was programmed. She’s sent a survey to Dem biggies asking their feelings about her candidacy. Obama’s quietly angling for Joe to go. He’s weaseled up to this for a few weeks. Mouths aren’t talking. But mouths are knowing. Over one year ago, summer of 2022, she was in NYC meeting several big hedge CEOs, and said, “I am running, and I am asking for your support.” The Obamas are now nudging to force SloMo Joe to go. Drop out. It’s like who else is there? Columnist Cindy Adams isn't the only one who thinks this. Ted Cruz has also stated that he believes Michelle Obama will replace Joe Biden. Ted Cruz: Democrats Will ‘Parachute’ Michelle Obama in to Replace Joe Biden.https://t.co/Hxxho6uUix — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) September 22, 2023 Breitbart reported on Cruz's opinion: …According to Cruz, if by the time of the Democratic National Convention in August Biden’s “mental diminishment” worsens, it becomes “obvious to anyone that he can’t find his shoes,” and Democrats begin worrying, the event will serve as an opportunity to “parachute” a replacement in. “The Democrat kingmakers [will then] jettison Joe Biden and parachute in Michelle Obama,” he suggested, adding that “you don’t infuriate African American women, which is a critical part of the constituency that Democrats are relying on to win.” He also suggested that Michelle Obama, having once served as first lady, “has the ability to kind of parachute in above all four [top Democrat contenders] and say, ‘Hey, we’re not picking among any of you; you guys can all fight it out next time.’” “This is the Obamas saving the day,” he stated. Cruz also expressed his belief that Barack Obama is “already running the Biden administration,” serving as a “puppet master” behind the Biden White House. So, what do you think? Is Michelle Obama angling to be Joe Biden's replacement? Let us know your thoughts... Oh, and have you seen this? Thoughts? New Poll Says Michelle Obama "Most Admired Woman". Do You Agree? YES or NO

Just a few minutes ago, I brought you a stunning breaking news report (from NBC News) claiming that Joe Biden will be dropping out of the race tomorrow (Sunday). Here it is: BREAKING: Joe Biden To Drop Out Tomorrow! Source: NBC News Will that happen? It looks very likely at this point, but we will see. No one knows for sure. But one way or another, dropping out, being removed (25th Amendment), or dying....I think there is almost NO CHANCE Joe Biden makes it to November. And if that's true, then let's advance the story to talk about his replacement. Who will it be? We've been telling you for months that we believe it will be Gavin Newsom or Michelle (Big Mike) Obama. But could it be someone else? I want to show you this great video from my friend Chris Greene at AMTV Media who released this video today that I thought was really good. He acknowledges that Gavin Newsom and Michelle Obama are two very likely choices, but then he adds three more. Hillary Clinton (never underestimate Hillary's desire to be President).... Oprah. The Rock. I thought those last two are absolutely fascinating! He makes a great point.... Which name out of those 5 creates the most excitement? The best matchup? The most buzz? Because that's what these people love. Michelle doesn't seem to want it. Gavin Newsom comes with a LOT of baggage.... In fact, we just ran this earlier this morning: EXPOSED: Gavin Newsom Had Dirty Sex Affair With Wife Of Close Friend And Hillary? She's already lost 3 times, does she really want to make it 4? But Oprah? Or The Rock? That could suddenly make things VERY interesting. Watch here for more: Backup here if needed: Joe Biden's REPLACEMENT Announced!

So far, the party’s top leaders have offered public support for Biden, including in tweets posted by former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Senior congressional Democrats, including Reps. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Jim Clyburn of South Carolina and Nancy Pelosi of California, have privately expressed concerns about his viability, said two sources apprised of those discussions, even as they all publicly back the president. One Democratic House member who believes Biden should drop out of the race — but has yet to call for that publicly — told NBC News that three colleagues expressed the same sentiment to him during votes on the House floor Friday. House leaders have not wavered publicly, and their aides denied that they are expressing doubts behind closed doors. “Speaker Pelosi has full confidence in President Biden and looks forward to attending his inauguration on January 20, 2025,” Ian Krager, a spokesman for the former House speaker said. “Any suggestion that she has engaged in a different course of action is simply not true.” Christie Stephenson, a spokeswoman for Jeffries, the House minority leader, said her boss has “repeatedly made clear publicly and privately that he supports President Joe Biden and the Democratic ticket from top to bottom.” Brianna Frias said that Clyburn, who is traveling to Wisconsin this weekend to campaign for the president, "has total confidence in President Joe Biden and the Biden-Harris ticket. "Any reports alleging that the Congressman has expressed anything other than firm support of President Biden are completely untrue," Frias said. At the same time, there is an understanding among top Democrats that Biden should be given space to determine next steps. They believe only the president, in consultation with his family, can decide whether to move forward or to end his campaign early — and that he won’t respond well to being pushed. “The decision-makers are two people — it’s the president and his wife,” one of the sources familiar with the discussions said, adding: “Anyone who doesn’t understand how deeply personal and familial this decision will be isn’t knowledgeable about the situation.” This account of a president and his party in crisis just a little more than four months before an election they say will determine the fate of democracy is drawn from interviews with more than a dozen Democratic officials, operatives, aides and donors. All of them spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to describe matters as sensitive as whether a sitting president might give up his re-election bid and how he could be replaced on the ballot. Despite delivering a rousing speech at a rally in North Carolina on Friday that calmed some of his allies, Biden was described by one person familiar with his mood as humiliated, devoid of confidence and painfully aware that the physical images of him at the debate — eyes staring into the distance, mouth agape — will live beyond his presidency, along with a performance that at times was meandering, incoherent and difficult to hear. “It’s a mess,” this person said. Another person familiar with the dynamics said Biden will ultimately listen to only one adviser. “The only person who has ultimate influence with him is the first lady,” this person said. “If she decides there should be a change of course, there will be a change of course.” After publication of this report, a source familiar reached out to stress that the Camp David gathering was not a formal family meeting. “Any discussion about the campaign is expected to be informal or an afterthought,” the source said. “No one is sitting down for a formal or determinative discussion.” Anita Dunn, one of Biden’s handful of closest advisers, said on MSNBC’s “The Weekend” Saturday that Biden has not discussed dropping out of the race with aides and that internal talks have focused on moving forward. “We had a bad debate,” Dunn said. “What do we do next? You know, the president, above all, is focused on what do we do next? What do I need to go do?” These private discussions among Biden, his family members and his top advisers are being held against the backdrop of a reckoning for Democrats who were shocked both by Biden’s appearance and the frequency with which his train of thought appeared to veer off track. We've told you all along that this would happen. We told you over a year ago there would be a Biden "swap out" coming. We told you the night of the debate when everyone was celebrating President Trump's win that this was not good news! DEBATE UPDATE: Joe Biden Imploded Tonight, No One Disagrees — But Here’s Why That’s Very BAD News! DEBATE UPDATE: Joe Biden Imploded Tonight, No One Disagrees -- But Here's Why That's Very BAD News! It's nearly universal.... President Trump mopped the floor with Joe Biden tonight. Actually, it wasn't that President Trump was THAT good.... He was good, yes. Very well done. But it was the fact that Biden was THAT bad..... So we should celebrate, right? Not so fast. Not so fast at all. This is very bad news, and I'll explain why in just a moment. But first look at everyone celebrating Biden's demise: This shit is OVER. ??Let’s go Trump!! — Dean Cain (@RealDeanCain) June 28, 2024 In 1986 Mike Tyson knocked out Marvis Frazier in the first 30 seconds of the first round.

Zero raised their hands. Half of them say they voted for Biden in 2020. — Frank Luntz (@FrankLuntz) June 28, 2024 It’s over. President Trump won. — Gunther Eagleman (@GuntherEagleman) June 28, 2024 it doesn't matter what the answers are anymore. the debate demonstrates what we already knew: biden is not fit to be president. its sad that it had to come to this - to force this elderly man through this. and force us to watch. this is gross. — GregGutfeld (@greggutfeld) June 28, 2024 Trump is killing it. Biden ... OMG. — Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) June 28, 2024 jesus stop this — GregGutfeld (@greggutfeld) June 28, 2024 10 minutes into the debate and the drugs are not strong enough pic.twitter.com/j3M1VCoCnQ — Wall Street Silver (@WallStreetSilv) June 28, 2024 And look....none of them are wrong. It's all true! Trump was great. Biden imploded! But we have to stop for a second and ask ourselves why? Did they just get his dosing wrong? I don't think so. I think so. The State of the Union was only a few months ago, and to be fair he looked sharp there. They pumped him full of so many drugs he looked fairly decent. They could have done the same thing here, but they chose not to. Why? Because this was the final death knell of Joe Biden. They needed to kill him off, politically speaking. That's why this debate had to be so early. So historically early. Never been done before. Why? Had to be before the Democratic National Convention before they officially nominate their candidate. Now they can dump Joe and roll in Michelle or Newsom. And that is VERY bad news. In fact, they may go so extreme as to remove Joe even from office now via the 25th Amendment: He is not only not fit for the debate, he needs to be removed as President right now. — Brian Costello (@bpcostello) June 28, 2024 You should not be celebrating this. Trump will steamroll Joe. But Newsom? Much tougher. And that's why Joe had to be killed off tonight. Here's what I just posted to Twitter: BREAKING: The Race just changed BIG LEAGUE tonight and no one sees it. Joe Biden got destroyed in the debate tonight, right? Right. We all saw it. YAY! Right? No. This was intentional. They rolled him out there to fail. They need to ditch the dead weight. It's why we had the earliest Presidential debate in history. Have to kill of Joe, so they can roll in Newsom or Michelle. We told you all along this was coming. This is not to be celebrated. Joe lost because they wanted him to implode. No meds. He sounded worse than an elderly dementia patient. Because they wanted him to. He's gone. The DNC has not held their convention yet. They will not nominate Joe. They will sub in Newsom or Michelle. They will cite the 25th Amendment and "extenuating circumstances". Or Joe may literally die before now and then if that's what has to happen. The signal was sent tonight....Joe is done. BREAKING: The Race just changed BIG LEAGUE tonight and no one sees it. Joe Biden got destroyed in the debate tonight, right? Right. We all saw it. YAY! Right? No. This was intentional.

Fox News reported that Michelle Obama expressed “private frustrations” with the Bidens due to their treatment of her friend Kathleen Bible, who previously divorced Hunter Biden. Buhle and Michelle Obama became friends while her husband was president and Joe Biden was vice president. Hunter Biden and Kathleen Buhle divorced in 2017, and Buhle has since been exiled from the Biden family, which has angered Michelle. Michelle Obama has also distanced herself from Biden after Hunter Biden started dating his late brother Beau’s wife. Michelle reportedly described the relationship as “weird sh*t.” Michelle Obama not campaigning for Biden over exile of Hunter’s ex-wife Kathleen Buhle: report https://t.co/DOYVZ3vY9p pic.twitter.com/Z0BTzfw8of — New York Post (@nypost) June 27, 2024 Check out what Fox News reported: Michelle Obama has expressed private frustration with the Bidens over the treatment of her friend Kathleen Buhle after her divorce from Hunter Biden. It has made her reluctant to openly campaign for the president, according to a new report. The former first lady became friends with Buhle while her husband was in office and Joe Biden was his vice president, and they have since remained close. Hunter Biden and Buhle separated in 2015 and divorced in 2017. Buhle wrote in her memoir "If We Break" about his addictions and infidelity fracturing their marriage, and she was "largely exiled" from the family after their split, according to the Axios report. According to the report, the Biden family was irked by Buhle's book, although it came out a year after Hunter Biden's 2021 memoir "Beautiful Things," which delved into his addiction issues. Axios also reported in 2017 that former President Obama attended a Wilmington, Delaware, fundraiser for the Beau Biden Foundation, a children's advocacy group. At the time, the recently divorced Hunter Biden was dating his late brother's widow, Hallie Biden. According to a source who spoke to Axios, Obama described the dynamics on display as "weird s--t," although he has since denied making such a statement. Michelle Obama privately told others she felt Buhle had been wronged in the aftermath of the marriage's collapse, and she has not been out front on the campaign trail for President Biden as he faces his re-election battle against former President Trump. She does active work with a voter registration group, however. EXCLUSIVE: Michelle Obama has privately expressed frustration over how the Bidens largely exiled her close friend Kathleen Buhle after her messy divorce from Hunter Biden. That's partly why she hasn't campaigned for Biden's re-election. https://t.co/WM0CBn8JR9 — Axios (@axios) June 27, 2024 Per The New York Post: Former first lady Michelle Obama is reluctant to publicly campaign for President Biden’s re-election because, in part, of how the family treated Kathleen Buhle, her close friend, in the wake of her divorce from Hunter Biden, a new report claims. The wife of former President Barack Obama has largely steered clear of the 2024 campaign trail after expressing frustration in private over Buhle’s apparent exile from the Biden family years earlier, Axios reported, citing two sources familiar with the relationship. Michelle’s disdain for partisan politics is also partly to blame for her absence so far this election cycle, the sources added. So....do you think that's the true reason? Or do you think it might have something more to do with this? Is Michelle Obama Angling to Replace Biden For 2024? "Big Mike" waiting in the wings? Is Michelle Obama Angling to Replace Biden For 2024? Is Joe Biden really going to be the Democrat presidential nominee for this year's election? Or, do Democrats have something up their sleeves? Planning to sneak someone else in as Biden's last-minute replacement? According to legendary New York Post columnist Cindy Adams, that's exactly what Dems are planning. And, they have someone specific in mind to replace Biden with... "Plans are to grab Michelle for the Democratic presidency choice. Making the music is Barack the orchestra leader," Adams warned, "The Obamas are now nudging to force SloMo Joe to go. Drop out. It’s like who else is there?" The World is once again moving to Most Dangerous Era of Wars & Genocide! Michelle Obama can "sneak her way" into 2024 Presidential Race. Huge pressure being built on Joe Biden to opt out of re-run.

Read this New York Post opinion piece excerpt and decide for yourself: Biden won’t debate. Can’t. Our codger-in-chief can’t even read the prewritten script in front of him fast enough to pronounce the words. So, forget him — which most of us already have. Coming back now — Obama. Not him. HER! We’ve heard this drumbeat for a while. Now it’s louder. Plans are to grab Michelle for the Democratic presidency choice. Making the music is Barack the orchestra leader. Michelle says she’s “terrified” Trump will win. No casual burp. Was programmed. She’s sent a survey to Dem biggies asking their feelings about her candidacy. Obama’s quietly angling for Joe to go. He’s weaseled up to this for a few weeks. Mouths aren’t talking. But mouths are knowing. Over one year ago, summer of 2022, she was in NYC meeting several big hedge CEOs, and said, “I am running, and I am asking for your support.” The Obamas are now nudging to force SloMo Joe to go. Drop out. It’s like who else is there? Columnist Cindy Adams isn't the only one who thinks this. Ted Cruz has also stated that he believes Michelle Obama will replace Joe Biden. Ted Cruz: Democrats Will ‘Parachute’ Michelle Obama in to Replace Joe Biden.https://t.co/Hxxho6uUix — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) September 22, 2023 Breitbart reported on Cruz's opinion: …According to Cruz, if by the time of the Democratic National Convention in August Biden’s “mental diminishment” worsens, it becomes “obvious to anyone that he can’t find his shoes,” and Democrats begin worrying, the event will serve as an opportunity to “parachute” a replacement in. “The Democrat kingmakers [will then] jettison Joe Biden and parachute in Michelle Obama,” he suggested, adding that “you don’t infuriate African American women, which is a critical part of the constituency that Democrats are relying on to win.” He also suggested that Michelle Obama, having once served as first lady, “has the ability to kind of parachute in above all four [top Democrat contenders] and say, ‘Hey, we’re not picking among any of you; you guys can all fight it out next time.’” “This is the Obamas saving the day,” he stated. Cruz also expressed his belief that Barack Obama is “already running the Biden administration,” serving as a “puppet master” behind the Biden White House. So, what do you think? Is Michelle Obama angling to be Joe Biden's replacement? Let us know your thoughts... Oh, and have you seen this? Thoughts? New Poll Says Michelle Obama "Most Admired Woman". Do You Agree? YES or NO

GABORONE, Botswana — Violent extremist groups linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group are growing in size and influence across Africa, fueling worries that as they improve their tactics they could attack the U.S. or Western allies. U.S. defense and military officials described the threats and their concerns about growing instability in Africa, where a number of coups have put ruling juntas in control, leading to the ouster of American troops and a decline in U.S. intelligence gathering. "Threats like Wagner, terrorist groups and transnational criminal organizations continue to sow instability in multiple regions," Air Force Gen. CQ Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in opening remarks Tuesday at a conference of African chiefs of defense in Botswana. "I think we can all agree, what happens in one part of the world, does not stay in one part of the world." Wagner is the Russian mercenary group that has gone into African nations to provide security as Western forces, including from the U.S. and France, have been pushed out. The group is known for its brutality, and human rights organizations have accused its members of raping and killing civilians. While Brown only touched briefly on the terror threat in the region, it was a key topic among others at the conference and spurred questions from military chiefs in the audience after his speech. They wanted to know what the U.S. could do to help stem the spread of insurgents in West Africa, the Gulf of Guinea and the Sahel. This is the first time that the chiefs of defense conference has been held on African soil. And it is the first time the U.S. joint chiefs chairman has visited a sub-Saharan country since 1994, when Gen. John Shalikashvili visited Rwanda and Zaire. A senior U.S. defense official said al-Qaida linked groups — such as al-Shabab in Somalia and Jama'a Nusrat ul-Islam wa al-Muslimin, known as JNIM, in the Sahel region — are the largest and most financially viable insurgencies. JNIM is active in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger and is looking to expand into Benin and Togo, which it uses as hubs to rest, recuperate, get financing and gather weapons but also has increased attacks there. At the same time, the Islamic State group has key cells in West Africa and in the Sahel. The defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a threat assessment, said the Islamic State cells were getting increasing direction from the group's leadership that relocated to northern Somalia. That has included how to kidnap Westerners for ransom, how to learn better military tactics, how to hide from drones and how to building their own small quadcopters. A U.S. military airstrike in Somalia on May 31 targeted Islamic State militants and killed three, according to U.S. Africa Command. U.S. officials have said the strike targeted the group's leader, but the defense official said Monday that it's still unclear if he was killed. Roughly 200 Islamic State insurgents are in Somalia, so they are vastly outnumbered by al-Shabab, which has grown in size to between 10,000 and 12,000. The growth of the insurgent groups within Africa signals the belief by both al-Qaida and the Islamic State group that the continent is a ripe location for jihadism, where extremist ideology can take root and expand, the official said. And it comes as the U.S. was ordered to pull out its 1,000 troops from Niger in the wake of last July's coup and also about 75 from Chad. Those troop cuts, which shut down a critical U.S. counterterrorism and drone base at Agadez, hamper intelligence gathering in Niger, said Gen. Michael Langley, head of U.S. Africa Command. Surveillance operations before the coup gave the U.S. a greater ability to get intelligence on insurgent movements. Now, he said, the key goal is a safe and secure withdrawal of personnel and equipment from both Agadez and a smaller U.S. facility near the airport. Langley met with Niger's top military chief, Brig. Gen. Moussa Salaou Barmou, during the conference, and said military-to-military communications continue but that it's yet to be determined how much the new transitional government will deal with the U.S. Currently, he said, there are about 400 troops still at Agadez and 200 near the airport. But, he added that "as we're in transition and resetting, we need to maintain capabilities to get enough intelligence to identify warnings of a threat out there." Langley said the U.S. is still trying to assess the militant groups' capabilities as they grow. "Yes, they've been growing in number. Have they been growing in capability where they can do what we call external ops attacks on the homeland and attacks on allies, whether we're talking about Europe or anyone? That's what we closely watch," he said. "I'd say it has the potential as they grow in numbers." Both Langley and Brown spoke more extensively about the need for the U.S. and African nations to communicate more effectively and work together to solve security and other problems. And Brown acknowledged that the U.S. needs to "do better at understanding the perspectives of others, ensuring their voices and expertise don't get drowned out." The U.S has struggled to maintain relations with African nations as many foster growing ties to Russia and China. Some African countries have expressed frustration with the U.S. for forcing issues, such as democracy and human rights, that many see as hypocrisy, given Washington's close ties to some autocratic leaders elsewhere. Meanwhile, Russia offers security assistance without interfering in politics, making it an appealing partner for military juntas that seized power in places like Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso in recent years.
