Sheesh. Too complicated. Pay it off and be done with it. They could, but they don't want to. For the reasons in the article. Mortgage interest is deductible from income tax, which is why some normal Americans may keep a mortgage instead of paying it off. Their situation is extreme and is probably a way to hide illegal income. President Joe Biden is hunkering down and consulting with the people he trusts the most: his family. That includes convicted felon and son Hunter Biden, much to the bewilderment of White House staff. After Biden's appalling performance in his debate against former President Donald Trump, the current president went back to Camp David to consult with his family on what to do next. It was reported that first lady Jill Biden and Hunter were among those who passionately told the president to stay in the race. The family placed the blame of the bad debate on the team that prepped Biden for six days. NBC News revealed on Tuesday that Hunter is still sitting in on meetings at the White House after the family's return from Camp David. "While he is regularly at the White House residence and events, it is unusual for Hunter Biden to be in and around meetings that his father is having with his team, these people said. They said the president’s aides were struck by his presence during their discussions," NBC reported. "One of the people familiar with the matter said Hunter Biden has been closely advising his father since the family gathered this past weekend at Camp David after Thursday’s debate. This person said Hunter Biden has 'popped into' a couple of meetings and phone calls the president has had with some of his advisers." @patrician Thanks. The link below the article about you can't just switch candidates was rather humorous. Another fine mess they've got themselves into. In a monumental decision issued on Monday, the United States Supreme Court ruled that former presidents have immunity for official acts. The court’s decision comes after former President Donald Trump argued he should be immune from criminal charges related to the January 6 Capitol riot and 2020 election. “The President enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution,” the court’s opinion states. Democrat strategists are throwing many things against walls and hoping some stick as the gaslighting continues. Bloomberg reports that the Democratic National Committee is considering formally nominating Joe Biden as early as mid-July to ensure that the president is on November ballots, while helping to stamp out intra-party chatter of replacing him after last week’s poor debate performance. Democrats had already planned to nominate Biden, 81, before the convention in order to ensure he appears on the ballot in Ohio, which had an Aug. 7 deadline for candidates to be certified. A potential date for Biden’s nomination is July 21, when the Democratic convention’s credentials committee meets virtually, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity. On a call with party donors this week, Carville suggested donors freeze their spending to down-ballot Democrats to motivate them to get Biden off the ticket. Carville also reframed Biden's debate performance as a positive because it allows Democrats to act. https://www.theblaze.com/news/van-jones-biden-debate-full-scale-panic President Joe Biden has reportedly cultivated a workplace of fear, leading some officials to become "scared ..." at the prospect of angering him. The president's most senior and trusted officials, according to Politico, tightly control access to the president, limiting his exposure to the media and anyone who might upset the applecart. But top officials who do get access to the president — like those who provide briefings — told Politico they have learned to curate carefully the information in the briefings, lest they are forced to endure the president's wrath. "It's like, 'You can’t include that, that will set him off,' or 'Put that in, he likes that. It's a Rorschach test, not a briefing. Because he is not a pleasant person to be around when he's being briefed. It's very difficult, and people are scared s***less of him," a senior administration official said. "He doesn't take advice from anyone other than those few top aides, and it becomes a perfect storm because he just gets more and more isolated from their efforts to control it," the official added. Politico spoke with dozens of Democrats — from top White House staffers, senior House Democrats, Democratic fundraisers, and Democratic strategists — who painted the same picture: "The cloistered Biden inner sanctum," in Politico's words, is to blame for hiding Biden's cognitive decline resulting in Biden's primetime debate meltdown. Meanwhile, as Biden's campaign refuses to bow to outside pressure and Hunter Biden advises his father, Biden himself has reportedly admitted to a "key ally" that he understands the end of his campaign could be near if he cannot reverse the public's perception of his cognitive decline, the New York Times reported. https://www.theblaze.com/news/biden-senior-official-staffers-scared This incident, Hunt argued, showcased true strength and deterrence—a stark contrast to the current state under Joe Biden. [The excerpt below, from the Sage Steele Podcast, is an extraordinary account of President Trump's leadership even up against America's enemies such as the Taliban....] ..."President Trump wanted to get out of Afghanistan, but he wanted a conditions-based withdrawal..." Representative Hunt said. "It's President Trump and Mike Pompeo, and they are talking to Taliban leadership in the room, and they had one translator in the room." During these negotiations, President Trump reportedly looked directly at the Taliban leader and warned him, "If you harm a hair on a single American, I'm gonna kill you." He then reached into his pocket, pulled out a satellite image of the Taliban leader's home, handed it to him, and left the room without another word. "Sure enough, for 18 months, not a single American was killed in Afghanistan," Hunt said. "That is the definition of strength; that's what I'm talking about."... https://www.breakingchristiannews.com/articles/display_art.html?ID=39868 Every state constitution refers to God, as understood by the writers, as a Creator Christian God, not the impersonal god of Hinduism or the deified Buddhist god. Furthermore, the Judeo-Christian Creator God, from whom comes our freedoms and rights, is written into all 50 state constitutions, directly or indirectly. The common expression “grateful to Almighty God for our freedom” refers to the belief that the source of our rights is not from government, but rather from God. A good example is the Maine Constitution which calls God the “Sovereign Ruler of the Universe.” The Delaware Constitution says, “Divine Goodness all men have by nature the rights of worshiping and serving their Creator.” The Virginia Bill of Rights refers to the duty that “we owe our Creator.” The Washington State Constitution Preamble says, “We the People . . . [are] grateful to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe.” Teachers denied the right to critique Darwinism could simply teach their state’s constitution. It could not be unconstitutional to teach the state’s constitution! All 50 state constitutions acknowledge God, mostly as the Creator, Sustainer, and Bestower of Liberty. The ACLU and the federal courts are wrong to deprive students of this knowledge. Below are the relevant sections from all 50 states. Alabama 1901, Preamble: We the people of the State of Alabama, invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God, do ordain and establish the following Constitution. .... [And the article lists every state's pertinent part of the preamble to their constitution.] While the founding fathers went to some lengths to ensure the US would never have its own version of the Church of England, they clearly conceived of their new country as fundamentally Christian as opposed to any other religion, as did those who drafted the 50 state constitutions. Removing the discussion of the Christian history of each state from the public classroom is a gross misrepresentation of the actual facts behind what motivated each state to draft its own constitutions, and in reality, this does more to “promote” a religion—the religion of humanism. The debacle that was President Biden’s performance at last Thursday’s Presidential debate divided America. Half were astonished to see someone with a crypt-keeper vibe who was obviously dazed and confused and whose language consisted mainly of mumbling nonsense that often trailed off into sheer incomprehensibility. The other half merely saw business as usual from Biden. Political pundits refer to this phenomenon as, in the words of Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams, “one screen, two movies." Much of the blame for this societal dissonance lies in the unhealthy alliance of our MSM (mainstream media composed of broadcast networks and major newspapers) and the Democrat Party. Since at least the 1990s the MSM have been operating as a propaganda arm for the Democrat Party as opposed to providing “truth to power”. The MSM are gradually losing the battle for relevance in the huge flourishing of, first, cable networks and now internet-based sites, podcasts and assorted social media, but they are still powerful in their waning days. They trashed Trump merrily during his Presidency, pushed Biden over the finish line in 2020, and have carried Biden’s water since then. And since 2020 the MSM have been carrying more water for Biden than the Ganges in monsoon season. Biden’s deterioration has been evident for some years and it became an issue in the 2020 election. Brit Hume, one of journalism’s grey eminences, posed that Biden was senile based on his manner, behaviour and actions. MSM “fact-checkers” protected the precious candidate. But Biden and his handlers took notice that they had been rumbled and used the excuse of Covid from early 2020 on to hide Biden away campaigning from his basement. MSM ignored his concerning demeanor completely and supported him for President in words that would have embarrassed George Washington. After a most unusual election came a most unusual Presidency, where the hiding away of the most powerful man in the world continued. Appearances were controlled, press conferences limited and interviews permitted only in controlled scripted environments such as with celebrities or on late night talk shows. Biden’s deteriorating physical condition, as well as his mental decline, were covered up by his handlers in a number of ways.

The Parkinson’s expert visited the White House 8 times in 8 months! It was previously reported that a top neurologist specializing in Parkinson’s disease met with President Biden’s personal physician at the White House earlier this year. Now it is being reported that the Parkinson’s disease specialist visited the White House nearly a dozen times! So the question is, does Joe Biden have an undiagnosed cognitive impairment, or has he been diagnosed with something like Parkinson’s disease and/or dementia, and the White House is covering it up? https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/parkinsons-doctor-made-ten-white-house-visits/
