It’s difficult to stay on top of the rapidly shifting political scene following the Debate
Debacle; the Butler assassination drama; the Hulk Hogan RNC spectacle; the
dismissal of the documents case against Trump and the abdication of Biden
yesterday among many other possible game changing events in the run-up to
the vote on November 5th.
With Sleepy Joe taking himself out of the equation in terms of who will occupy the
Oval Office come January 20, 2025, the prospects of Kamala Harris being the first
woman president have soured despite her poor image and VP performance to date.

That constituted another July Surprise reminiscent of the LBJ’s March 31, 1968
announcement that launched his VP, Hubert Humphrey, into the spotlight where he
went on to capture his party’s nomination several months later at the raucous DNC’s
Chicago Convention.
But things are moving very fast and anything can happen in the remaining 15 weeks
before Election Day with the prospect of lots of July, August, September, October and
even November surprises before votes are counted……if there even is an election!
With Biden receding from the big picture, the imminent arrival of PM Netanyahu gives
the Dems a golden opportunity to showcase the diplomatic skills of Harris in the month
prior to the DNC’s convention that is likely to be as tumultuous as the 1968 version….
…..if not more so!
With Hillary seemingly taking herself out of the picture and Biden soon gone, that leaves
Trump as the “old fogey/elder statesman” who will be competing with the next generation
figure (Harris) for votes.
The “focus” will now shift back to Bad Man Orange. He will continue to have lots of bullseyes on him, literally and figuratively, with many convinced Crooks was anything but another classic lone nut assassin attempt and very possibly part of a Deep State effort to dispatch him having failed with every other trick in their play book.

Russiagate; 2 impeachments; lawfare; ballot access denial efforts; bankruptcy maneuvers;
constant derogatory statements from the MSM and then Butler: nothing has been able to work against the seemingly Invincible Trump that has his Christian Nationalist base believing he is possibly God’s Chosen One.
Enter Bibi in what has to be one of possibly the most historic moments in American history as he plans on addressing Congress in 3 days to plead for more assistance from the already genuflecting Speaker Johnson’s Republican caucus along with the similarly cooperative Dems.
What new July Surprises await the electorate? Will Bibi meet with Kamala before Thursday’s speech (lecture?) where she will be sitting behind him next to Johnson? Will Biden rebuff or be rebuffed by Netanyahu with whom he has disagreed on the proper course of action in Gaza?
Will Netanyahu meet separately with Trump whose pledges to resolve the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza have many concerned about his ability to achieve speedy peace deals irrespective of the legal constraints of the Logan Act which bars private citizens from engaging in foreign policy?
All this and so much more awaits us in the coming days. It may not be pretty or fun but it sure is fascinating and more seriously, VERY important to America’s future and that of the whole world!
As we celebrate the 55th anniversary of sending humans to the Moon, events here on our beleaguered planet, cry out for the kind of sanity and creativity that is absent in today’s leaders as they attempt to engineer a safe landing for SpaceShip Earth. http://stateofthenation.co/?p=240904
