Books on Biden Are Bombing.

The book industry has seen significantly lower sales during the Biden presidency compared to the Trump era. Books about former President Donald Trump sold millions of copies, but those focused on Biden have struggled to generate interest. Several books about the Bidens have sold fewer than a humiliating 5,000 copies, while Trump-focused books sold hundreds of thousands to millions of units.

POLITICO reports:

…for the pandemic-era book [Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes] wrote on Joe Biden, Allen didn’t even get the satisfaction of seeing a copy in stores. He didn’t go on a tour, either. “Lucky: How Joe Biden Barely Won the Presidency” never made the Times best-seller list and so far has sold fewer than 10,000 copies since its release in March 2021, according to NPD BookScan, which is considered the gold standard of book sale measurement but does not include every sale.

Now, Allen says he’s turning his attention back to the Clintons. He has no plans to write another book on Biden.

“He has tried to be kind of a drama-free president, certainly in comparison to his predecessor, and that makes it harder to write a book, both in terms of getting information and turning his story into one that is compelling for readers,” said Allen.

“Biden never does anything interesting,” said Eric Nelson, publisher of Broadside Books. “The Hunter Biden stuff has done pretty well, because he’s appropriately interesting. But Hunter Biden is not the president.”

Gabriel Debenedetti’s “The Long Alliance: The Imperfect Union of Joe Biden and Barack Obama” sold fewer than 1,500 copies. Julie Pace and Darlene Superville’s “Jill: A Biography of the First Lady” sold fewer than 2,500. Chris Whipple’s “The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House” and Ben Schreckinger’s “The Bidens: Inside the First Family’s Fifty-Year Rise to Power” have each racked up fewer than 5,000 books sold.

Ken Paxton’s Impeachment Trial Begins Today.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s sham impeachment trial is set to begin, against the backdrop of a recent assessment of state attorneys general pointing to the Trump-backed AG as one of the most conservative in the United States.

The bizarre trial has been triggered by “RINO” Republicans partnering with predominantly Democrat “impeachment managers” alleging vague things against Paxton, and even trying to hide the details from Paxton and the general public.

Only following a National Pulse report did the anti-Paxton Texas Senate President Dan Patrick urge the release of further details in the case. Almost immediately after this, he implemented a “gag order” which stopped Paxton rallying the public behind him.

Effectively, the trial will revolve around Austin real estate tycoon Nate Paul, and the allegation that Paxton misused powers to help him defeat an FBI investigation. Prosecutors need nine GOP to vote to remove Paxton from office, assuming all Democrats in the Texas Senate vote the same way.

‘Ready for Ron’ PAC Chief Admits: ‘Trump is Undefeatable’.

Ed Rollins – a recent co-chair of the pro-Ron DeSantis SuperPAC ‘Ready for Ron’ – has admitted that “…no one in the Republican primaries is going to beat, defeat President Trump,” adding: “[Trump] has a strong, solid base. It’s gotten stronger as he’s gone through these terrible indictments. The fact that he’s been indicted on 91 counts is just absurd.”

This isn’t the first time that Rollins has expressed criticism of Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign. In July, he announced he was backing down from DeSantis, calling the Florida Governor a “flawed candidate.” Addressing the flurry of mid-summer donor calls for a DeSantis campaign reboot, Rollins said, “A top-to-bottom makeover and real accountability may be the only thing that saves Ron DeSantis, but even then you still have the governor at the top… And it is getting harder and harder by the day to see not just his people as the problem, but him as the problem.”

It is not just former DeSantis supporters – turned detractors – like Rollins who are expressing a sense of inevitability regarding Trump winning the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Jeff Roe, chief strategist for the pro-DeSantis SuperPAC Never Back Down, was caught on a leaked audio recording telling donors the campaign was in desperate need of $50 million and that DeSantis only has 60 days to try and defeat Trump before the primary race is effectively over.

Recent polling shows Trump with a near insurmountable lead over the rest of the 2024 Republican field. Polling conducted immediately after the first Republican primary debate showed no change in Trump’s lead despite the media trying to stoke voter backlash against the former President’s decision not to participate.

DeSantis PAC Chief Jeff Roe Admits Trashing Vivek to Corporate Media.

Jeff Roe, the chief strategist for Ron DeSantis’s Super PAC Never Back Down, has taken responsibility for co-ordinating online attacks and spreading dirt on the Republican outsider and DeSantis’ rival, Vivek Ramaswamy. Roe undertook similarly dirty tactics in 2016 against then-candidate Ben Carson.

In a leaked conversation before the recent GOP primary debate, Roe told a number of DeSantis donors and supporters, “Everything you read about [Ramaswamy) is from us… Every misstatement, every 360 he’s conducting or 180 that he is going through in life, is from our scrutiny and pressure. And so, he’s not going to go through that very well, and that will get worse for him.”

Roe, who runs the legally embattled Axiom Strategies, also admitted to his audience that “a big night” for Ramaswamy may prove problematical for the Florida Governor, who required a breakout moment during the debate. The opposite happened, however, with Ramaswamy dominating national and international media coverage, handing DeSantis a rather forgettable performance.

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for Ramaswamy, responded: “America watched Vivek dominate the debate stage, it’s no wonder Never Back Down is pissing away another $20+ million after Labor Day.”

Roe recently demanded another $50 million from donors, as his PAC shifts resources to Iowa with a $12 million ad spend, and an admission that he has fewer than 60 days to defeat Donald Trump.

DeSantis Chief Demands $50M from Donors, Admits 60 Days Left to Stop Trump.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign is betting the farm on winning the 2024 Iowa Caucuses, according to leaked audio from a meeting between the leadership of pro-DeSantis SuperPAC Never Back Down and donors held just before the first Republican primary debate.

Jeff Roe, DeSantis’s Never Back Down PAC chief strategist, also admitted to donors the campaign has just 60 days to defeat former President Donald Trump and that the SuperPAC would need an additional $50 million before the second Republican primary debate on September 27th.

Never Back Down has also halted its paid door-knocking efforts in Super Tuesday primary states, as well as in the critical early state of Nevada. The SuperPAC’s cost cutting moves come as it shifts resources into Iowa – including a nearly $12 million ad-buy announced earlier this week.

Roe told donors: “If you have an education, if you have higher income, if you read the Bible and if you go to church regularly, you happen to be a DeSantis supporter.”

What the DeSantis campaign considers to be a ‘likely DeSantis supporter’ might explain why the Florida Governor has failed to gain traction in polling and trails former President Donald Trump by double digits in most state primary contests. According to the Pew Research Center the majority of American Catholics and Evangelical Protestants earn less than $50,000 per year. Mainline Protestants are early evenly split with with 49 percent estimated to earn less than $50,000 and 51 percent earning more. Only Mormons and Eastern Orthodox Christians have populations with sizable majority earning over $50,000. As far as education, the Pew data indicates well over 40 percent of Catholics and Evangelical Protestants have only a high school education or less – and nearly 40 percent of Mainline Protestants.

2nd GOP Debate Moderator Is Foreign, Far-Left Lunatic, Obama Fangirl.

The second Republican presidential primary debate on September 27th will be co-moderated by Univsions’s Ilia Calderón – a rabid political partisan who has said that former President Donald Trump’s racist rhetoric “empowers white supremacists.” The Spanish language network Univision is partnered with the Fox Business Network to host the debate – Stuart Varney and Dana Perino will join Calderón, who is from Columbia, as moderators.

Calderón – who Fox Business bills as “the first Afro-Latina to anchor an evening newscast for a major broadcast network in the United States” – has a long history of flaunting her far-left bias on social media. In 2018, as then President Trump pushed for tighter border controls to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S., Calderón claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that “Trump does not want whites to stop being the majority,” adding that this was the reason for his opposition to mass immigration.

The Univision anchor isn’t just critical of Trump and Republicans, she has plenty of praise for Democrat politicians. In 2009 Calderón praised Barack Obama, saying, “…it is a pleasure to listen to a great speaker!” In another instance of pro-Democrat bias, she reposted a claim that the U.S.’s political and economic struggles were the fault of Republicans for obstructing then President Obama’s radical political agenda.

In the aftermath of January 6, 2021, Calderón claimed that Republicans were “silent about those responsible” and insinuated that the protestors who stormed the U.S. Capitol Building committed a “deadly attack.” The only person to die as a direct result of the events on January 6 was protestor Ashli Babbitt who was shot and killed by U.S. Capitol Police officer Michael Byrd.

Former President Trump is expected to skip the September 27th Republican presidential primary debate. Polling after the first debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin suggests that Trump’s absence had no negative impact on his commanding lead over the rest of the Republican candidates.

RINOs Advise Dems to Dump Biden-Harris, Run Whitmer-Warnock to Stop Trump.

Never-Trump “Republicans” are pushing Democrats to ditch President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris and turn to Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-Mich.) and Senator Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) in yet another desperate bid to try and beat Donald Trump in 2024.

A.B. Stoddard, writing at the anti-Trump blog The Bulwark, frets that voters see Biden’s advanced age as disqualifying and warns that former President Donald Trump is a more formidable candidate than Democrats assume.

“…A new standard-bearer is required to decisively beat Trump next year,” she declares, claiming Gov. Whitmer as her standard-bearer:

Whitmer, 52, is one of the most experienced, exciting, and winning Democrats in the country. She is as tough a candidate, and leader, as the Democrats can find, and she was vetted as a potential VP pick in 2020. Warnock, who has won pluralities or majorities in five elections in three years, is the cerebral 54-year-old senior pastor at Martin Luther King Jr.’s church.

– A.B. Stoddard, September 2023.

She adds: “Young. Dynamic. Diverse. Competent and experienced. Broadly appealing. Can mobilize core voters. Would deliver two battleground states. Those are seven big boxes already checked.”

Stoddard and her NeverTrump allies in the corporate media are right to worry about President Biden’s chances of winning re-election in 2024. Polling is increasingly showing former President Trump to be the favorite to win the White House, though Stoddard hilariously warns: “If Trump beats Biden next year, there won’t be another free and fair election.”

State Officials Prep Trump Disqualification Push.

Efforts to disqualify former President Donald Trump from appearing on the 2024 ballot under the 14th Amendment are gaining momentum, with officials in key states, including New Hampshire, Arizona, and Michigan, preparing to respond to legal challenges to Trump’s candidacy based on Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

Advocacy groups claim Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021 constitute engagement in insurrection and therefore disqualify him from holding public office. Trump has denied any involvement in the attack on the Capitol, nor has there been any actual evidence that implicates him in the maelstrom, though plenty of proof suggests FBI and other state-actor involvement.

Legal scholars and election officials have raised concerns about the practicality of the emerging lawsuits. Procedural aspects of litigation challenging Trump’s eligibility, such as who has standing to bring the challenges, remain unclear. Secretaries of state in several states have started discussions and taken steps to prepare for the possibility of administering elections without Trump as a candidate. The lawsuits based on the 14th Amendment provision are expected to reach the U.S. Supreme Court, where a uniform rule could potentially be set for subsequent state primaries.

COVID Restrictions Return… In DeSantis’s Florida!?

COVID-19 pandemic era restrictions appear to be returning in Florida, with the Palm Beach Gardens High School, part of the Palm Beach County school district, announcing its Friday night football game against Vero Beach is postponed until September 6th “out of an abundance of caution.”

The news comes shortly after the Florida Governor took aim at former President Donald J. Trump in absentia, for his pandemic handling from the Milwaukee GOP debate stage.

DeSantis has made his response to the COVID-19 pandemic a cornerstone of his campaign’s message to voters, expressing staunch opposition to new lockdowns, school closures, mask requirements, and vaccine mandates. During debate, he said: “It should have never happened. And in Florida, we led the country out of lockdown, kept our state free and open.”

In 2022, DeSantis pushed back against Florida school districts that sought to reinstate mask mandates and closures during outbreaks of COVID-19, telling the press at the time: “Our schools will be open in the state of Florida… If you’re healthy, you need to be in school.”

Despite his bravado, the latest news from Palm Beach Gardens High School suggests that DeSantis’s fight against pandemic restrictions has been less successful than advertised. The National Pulse previously reported that Governor DeSantis failed to fire his state’s very own Dr. Fauci, Palm Beach County Department of Health director Dr. Alina Alonso.

Dr. Alonso, known as “the face of the COVID-19 pandemic in Palm Beach County,” was given free rein during the COVID pandemic to enforce arbitrary restrictions upon millions of Floridians, including the implementation of mask mandates, establishment of a COVID hotline for lockdown snitches, and even creating an armed COVID compliance police force. In 2023, Dr. Alonso retired, stating her replacement Dr. Jyothi Gunta, “will make a great new director.”
