It’s obvious to anyone in the Democrat camp not totally delusional that Joe Biden’s declining mental faculties make him almost impossible to re-elect in 2024. Douglas Schoen and Andrew Stein are two Democrats that have a good grasp of reality, and so they are putting out a signal in the Wall Street Journal – which is read by virtually every media editor in the country – that it is time to push Michelle Obama into running. (snip) Unless Michelle claims absolute lack of interest, then she is OK with it. Biden would withdraw before South Carolina if she challenged him, since he would be humbled there

They may want her to, but I just don't see it. She hated being First Lady. Her latest appearances make her look like someone the cat dragged out. She has more than enough money now and a very easy life. She was always lazy. She hates this country, and her husband is currently completing his mission to "fundamentally transform America". By 2024, the transformation will be complete. Plus, Dems don't need to worry. They own the voting machines so whoever the Dems run will win...sadly.

Sounds like another trial balloon from the WSJ. Nice try, WSJ. I really don't think Mooch needs or wants to give up a lifestyle of leisure. Nor is she interested in supporting Obie's fourth term.

She and Obozo have too many business opportunities being thrown at them to think about public office. They don't want to hamper that. Besides, they can still ruin the country without being in the public eye or office. They have enough minions in D.C. to do their dirty work without getting their hands dirty.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't see Michelle Obama having the drive that her husband did to get and do the job (badly). Heck, I'd wager to say that even Joe Biden would work harder than Michelle.

Mooch's campaign would amount to having the DNC pay her bazillions and then make sure she loses. She don't want the work but she'd take the money. Sorry but it's in her cultural history.

So, all this normalizing trannies is part of a larger ploy? To make Mike palatable to voters? Looks like it doesn't work. He'll have to stay in the closet for life.

This piece is completely bogus and totally speculative. It's based upon nothing but a long-ago poll in which as FLOTUS Michelle had a 68% favorability rating. Since then, she has repeatedly claimed she has ZERO interest in running for President. She already HAS all the power and celebrity anyone could want...and she can do whatever she wants whenever and however and with whomever she wants. Get real.

There are a couple of things preventing her from running for president. She has academic skeletons that, for her, would be best kept secret. And, her appearance! Numerous people I know have commented that there is something odd about the way she presents herself. Not anything specific, but she makes people feel uneasy. Some actors can build a career by artificially manufacturing this persona. Rod Steiger, Gene Hackman, Dan Duryea are three that come to mind. There are others! Michelle Obama will never be a candidate.

To be fair......Michelle Obama, intelligence wise, is light years ahead of the two morons allegedly fairly elected in 2020. At least she can string two words together and doesn't wander aimlessly about. AND.....she has those "toned" arms going for her. If I had to choose between the three, I would have to go with the one dressed by P.T. Barnum.

Don't count the Jacks Links Beef Jerky spokes 'Squatch out yet. Black democrats especially women voted in droves for Obama, Hillary and Biden. Even after the former did NOTHING for them and the latter said that they weren't Black if they couldn't figure out who to vote for between him and OMBBB (Orange Man Baddie Bad, Bad). If she ran she'd get 99.9% of the Black vote. All because she's the epitome of the ABW (Angry Black Woman).

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are “extremely upset and shaken” after being involved in a “near-catastrophic” two-hour paparazzi chase in New York City on Tuesday night. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who were traveling with Markle’s mom, Doria Ragland, were pursued by photographers after leaving the Ziegfeld Theater — where the former actress was honored by Gloria Steinem at the Women of Vision Awards — in Manhattan. The trio left the event in an SUV around 10 p.m., and were immediately followed by around 12 paparazzi, we’re told. They eventually decided to ditch their original vehicle and jump into a yellow cab in hopes of evading photogs, a source claims.

Durham’s report found that the FBI had no evidence to support launching the investigation and found “sobering” differences in how the FBI approached the Trump probe compared to other politically sensitive investigations.Barr told Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Tuesday evening that Durham’s report was a “success” because it got to the bottom of what happened
