We’re not even a week past Joe Biden’s debate meltdown and the public is still in shock. 

What happened to Joe Biden?

The fact that we have to ask that question tells us we were lied to about the President’s health. The managerial class has worked overtime these past few years, with their partners in the media, to portray a competent President who has his head in the game. 

Just recently as a couple of weeks ago when the volume of Biden gaffes was increasing, they said these videos were “cheap fakes” – a term that was parroted by their corporate media partners. 

After Thursday’s debate, the lies have now been exposed. They acted surprised, but what really happened is they’re upset that we now know the truth. 

Joe Biden is not in charge. 

The Democratic Party is a collection of interests that are feeding off of our country. They do nothing in the interests of America but only serve the interests of a few. 

Gerry Connolly is no different. He serves the same masters that are destroying America. He answers to them and plays by their rules.

This same oligarchy that is protecting Biden is the same one shielding Connolly from the media and from any obligation to debate his opponent in the 11th District of Virginia, Mike Van Meter. 

Just like how the Democrats conducted a Soviet style primary by shutting out anyone going up against Biden, Gerry Connolly has ignored calls to debate Mr. Van Meter. 

You would think that the defenders of democracy would answer to the people who vote them into office. 

But no. It’s a disturbing pattern of behavior that entitled politicians display because they’re convinced that they can keep lying to you and get away without having to answer to you. 

When it comes to the 11th District, we’ve let this happen for 15 years because Connolly’s bosses have a hold on him, and this district. 

If the Democrats get away with convincing the public that Joe Biden is still fit for the job after last week’s sad display, they can get away with letting Connolly slide by another election cycle without a debate. 

Call it the “establishment”, the “managerial class” or whatever you want. At the end of the day, Joe Biden and Gerry Connolly are cut from the same cloth because they’re the errand boys for the same people who are destroying America.
