Just as WorldNetDaily’s “news” side responded with nastiness and fake news after President Biden’s withdrawal, WND’s columnists did the same. Michael Master tried to retcon his predictions of Biden dropping out:
My prediction in the summer of 2023 was that Joe Biden would retire from president of the USA by the end of 2023 so that Kamala Harris could run as the incumbent president and serve for up to 10 years.
My prediction was wrong. My assumption that the oligarchs and super delegates who run the Democrat party wanted Harris was wrong.
Last April, about three months ago, my prediction changed to that Biden would drop out of the race immediately after the Republican convention so that Democrats would have six weeks to dominate the media before the Democrat convention. My prediction missed it by two days.
Michael Brown couched his hate in fake compassion — as he regularly does on LGBT issues — asking people to pray for Biden and pretending to be horrified that others criticize him, even as he bashed him for having purportedly “betrayed his values”:
In the immediate aftermath of President Biden’s major announcement on Sunday, stating that he was dropping out of the presidential race, a flood of responses was quickly posted online.
Political pundits were weighing in. Cultural commentators were sharing their perspectives. Social media influencers were having their say. After all, this was a seismic announcement.
But since I have nothing of political substance to add to the many perspectives that have been shared on TV, in online video commentaries, in articles, and in memes, I’ll offer up a prayer for President Biden instead.
[…]So, as much as I wholeheartedly opposed much of President Biden’s agenda, in particular his call to reinstate Roe and his dangerous support of radical transgender activism, I hate to see a fellow human being losing his cognitive abilities, and I certainly pray for his salvation.
Would you join me in this prayer?
Heavenly Father, we lift our voices to you on behalf of President Biden, asking You to reveal Yourself to Him afresh, to show him the depth of his sins in Your sight – while we make no excuses for our own sins – and to point him to the cross.
To the extent that his Catholic faith was ever real in his life, help him to understand how he has betrayed his values on many fronts, from the meaning of marriage to the sanctity of life in the womb. And whatever else he has done, be it in public or in private, bring the weight of conviction on him until he pleads for mercy and grace. Help him to humble himself before You!
May he not trust in his own works. May he not trust in Church tradition. May he not trust in the approval of his friends and family. May he recognize instead that he stands naked and guilty in Your sight, and in that light, may he receive an overwhelming revelation of Your love, Your kindness, Your mercy, Your compassion, and the power of the blood of the cross.
As you saved us and washed our slates clean, do the same for President Biden. May he have a glorious conversion experience in the days ahead, and may we have the joy of hearing him proclaim his new life in You.
We pray this in Jesus’ name.
Brian Almon hinted at election-fraud conspiracy theories as he denounced Biden’s career:
Biden declined to run in 2016 but returned in 2020, launching his campaign based on the debunked lie that President Trump had praised neo-Nazis and white supremacists in Charlottesville. Despite the 2020 Democratic primary being initially led by Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, the party establishment circled the wagons. Biden won the South Carolina primary after having lost in Iowa and New Hampshire, and most of the remaining candidates dropped out and endorsed him leading into Super Tuesday. Biden promised to put a woman of color on the ticket as vice president, and accordingly picked Sen. Kamala Harris of California, despite her having previously accused him of being a racist.
Biden remained in his basement for much of the 2020 campaign, counting on the media to carry his water and nationwide mail-in ballots to do the rest. His term as president has been a series of carefully choreographed media appearances in between long vacations, making it increasingly clear that Biden was merely a figurehead for the deep state bureaucracy. The way in which his career is ending is yet more confirmation that America has not really had a president for the past four years.
As of this writing, Biden’s last appearance was on Wednesday, July 17, shortly after announcing he had tested positive for COVID-19. He arrived at a Delaware airport and got into his motorcade, presumably bound for home where he would rest and recuperate. On Sunday, July 21, Biden’s Twitter account announced that he had decided not to accept nomination for a second term, despite weeks of defiantly stating that he was definitely running.
Even though there was no proof that Joe Biden was even aware of this statement, the media and political machines fired up. Journalists posted paeans to Biden’s supposed courage for being willing to relinquish power, while Democratic politicians lined up behind Vice President Kamala Harris. Biden’s voice was heard on Monday afternoon calling Harris’ campaign headquarters by phone, but that did not quell speculation about the president’s true condition.
So ends the career of one of the most undistinguished political figures in recent memory. Rather than retiring at the end of his career and spending time with his grandchildren (including the one he refuses to acknowledge), Biden’s last days are full of speculation about his physical and mental capacity as he vainly holds on to a veneer of power.
What a sad end.
Almon made no mention of the right-wing “media and political machines” — of which he is a part — who were fired up to trash Biden after his announcement. That seems rather sad too.
