Loading ...A BIG RAY OF SUNSHINE FROM THE SUNSHINE STATE THIS MORNING
JEFF CHILDERS COFFEE AND COVID
Good morning, loyal C&C subscribers! For your bonus roundup today, I did a deep-dive on the new Biden re-election campaign’s prospects — and they don’t look good. Then we’ll look at Proxy War news, which (finally) appears to suggest an end to Joe Biden’s ice-cream party in Ukraine.
This guy is an Island of Positivity in a Sea of negativity
This one is for subscribers ( everyone should support Jeff) …but I’ll add a few tidbits in the comments…after i have my Coffee with my Covid
ah ..here’s the first tidbit
In one clip of a campaigning Biden making the rounds this week, the former vice-president said:
… and turn, turn this primary from a campaign that’s about negative attacks into one about what we’re for, but we cannot get re-elect … we can win this re-election, excuse me, we can ONLY re-elect Donald Trump
since his campaign didn’t announce ANY donation results this week, Biden looks less like a race horse and more like a scratched-at-the-post non-starter. Citing insiders, Bloomberg suggested small donations were the most anemic; Biden will have to depend on billionaires and Wall Street.
Frankly, I wonder if most democrats even knew that Biden had announced. His big “announcement,” 100% online, occurred in the wee hours on Tuesday morning while everybody was sleeping. Maybe it was supposed to be some kind of analogy, since Biden’s sleeping most of the time too:
So. What do we make of all this? Here are some things I believe are inarguable:
1) Biden’s health and speaking abilities will get worse.
2) Biden’s scandals will get worse.
3) People’s exhaustion with the Proxy War will get worse
It is hard to imagine how these things could be turned around, or whether Biden has the energy to effect a turnaround. They’re going to have to run against Trump again, hoping the former president is so damaged with independents and frustrated Republicans that Biden can somehow carry the shortened work day.
My first prediction for today’s post: If I am right, corporate media is about to pivot from boosting DeSantis to pushing Trump.

The Redacted clip included most of Joe Biden’s Tuesday gala re-election announcement video. And guess what’s missing from Biden’s campaign clip: ANY MENTION OF UKRAINE. Or even Putin, for that matter.
Usually presidents LIKE to run on popular wars.
It’s a bad sign that Ukraine was left out of Biden’s triumphant video, which instead featured MAGA as the U.S.’s main problem — not Vladimir Putin. This is like when a married businessman accepts an award at a Rotary luncheon and thanks everybody except his wife. You can bet things aren’t awesome at home. Mark my words, Biden is about to trade Ukraine in for a younger war.
Tellingly, there wasn’t a single Proxy War story on the Wall Street Journal’s home page this morning. Same with the Washington Times. There was only one small story on the New York Times’ home page, kind of, it was about Russia prosecuting draft dodgers. That’s it.
Rats off a sinking Ukrainian gunship.
Could our long, Ukrainian national nightmare be almost over? Magic 8-Ball says, “all signs point to Yes.”
