Biden is a lock to win re-election

At least according to my new maxim: Whatever shouldn’t happen WILL happen.

Coach Bryant taught his players to expect the unexpected. I for one believe in Coach Bryant. We might as well plan for what’s coming.

My late father played football for Alabama’s legendary Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant. One of Coach Bryant’s favorite maxims was “Expect the unexpected.” Or “have a plan for everything.”

In 2023, now more than ever, we should all expect the unexpected to happen. 

One of my new maxims is: “If it shouldn’t happen - if something makes absolutely no sense - it (probably) will happen.”

This maxim is almost iron-clad enough to behoove us to plan (or at least think about) crazy results that are almost certain to happen.

For example, I’d be willing to bet a couple hundred bucks that Joe Biden will be re-elected president in two years. 

Once upon a time, I would have bet $5,000 that an 82-year-old liberal Democrat with obviously-worsening dementia could not be re-elected president of the United States. Now, per my maxim, I’m pretty confident this will happen.

Proofs that support my maxim …

I didn’t pull my new maxim out of the air. It’s based on observable results. 

I knew I was living in the proverbial “Twilight Zone” episode when I watched with disbelief as millions of vaccinated Americans kept coming down with Covid - and kept singing the praises of this “vaccine.” 

Instead of pulling the “ineffective” vaccine, 100-percent of the most-influential science experts and important public officials doubled down and mandated the shots to large swaths of the population.

The Covid vaccines (and now “boosters”) must be the only product in world history that has been proven to not work …. And still generate billions of dollars in sales.

Not too long ago, I also would have bet a good chunk of what little money I have that the Republicans would take back control of the House and Senate in the recent mid-term elections. 

After all, it was clear the country was rapidly going to Hades in a musky hand basket … so surely the voters would fire our political bosses, right?

Well, partially right. The House did change leadership, but not the Senate. 

My theory on why the Democrats held the Senate …

I actually have a theory on this. I earned my college degree in political science so I know that Senate elections are state-wide. 

National and state-wide elections are probably easier to rig than local or Congressional races. This is because state-wide races include all the ballots cast in the big cities. The votes in large cities - all Democrat and liberal - usually swing elections in closely-contested states.

Hypothetically speaking, if some nefarious political organization could boost the votes in these Democratic urban areas, they’d probably be able to carry key electoral states.

I also know that presidential elections are actually determined by only about six or seven “swing” states and the ballot results in those states seem to be determined by results in about 12 big cities.

This is why a senate candidate from Pennsylvania who recently suffered a serious stroke could win the key senate race in the country by simply racking up huge margins of victory … in Philadelphia.

This is why Georgia (once a “red state”) now often votes blue thanks only to massive lopsided vote results … in Atlanta. 

This is why whoever carries Phoenix in Barry Goldwater’s home state of Arizona is probably going to be elected.

If you want to bet on an election result in Nevada, bet on the candidate who is going to carry …. Las Vegas.

Oh, the irony …

By now, Donald Trump must know he signed-off on his own election defeat when he listened to Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx and gave his approval to the lockdowns and draconian virus mitigation measures.

In retrospect, the most important of these measures might have been the “safety” reform of endorsing mail-in ballots.

We all know what political party excels at getting out the “absentee” ballots or cultivating mail-in ballots and it’s not the party with the elephant mascot.

2024 is just around the corner …

In my last essay, I wrote that the 2024 presidential election might be the most important and compelling of my lifetime.  So who is most likely to win that election?

Common sense says there’s no way it could be Joe Biden. Even the mainstream media polling organizations say that Biden’s approval ratings are approaching all-time lows. 

Trends in the economy are as awful as they are frightening.  

The proxy war with Russia being fought in Ukraine has only tepid (neocon) support. 

People are worried about illegal immigration and rising crime rates.

Belatedly (if privately) more Americans are starting to recognize that every Covid pronouncement uttered by an “expert” was either bogus or at least dubious.

And anyone with a few ounces of grey matter knows that Joe Biden’s brain is working at maybe 60 percent capacity (on a good day).

All of which tells me  - per my maxim - that Joe Biden is a lock to still be president when he celebrates his 86th birthday on Nov. 20, 2028. 

Still, I guess it’s possible that President Trump or Gov. DeSantis might surprise me and squeak by in Georgia or Arizona and thus get to shoot hoops on the White House court President Obama installed.

I also hope RFK, Jr. challenges President Biden for the Democratic nomination as Mr. Kennedy is the political candidate most likely to point out that every leader of the massive Science/Medical Industrial Complex is captured and needs to be fired.

Alas, Kennedy would have to have the charisma of his late uncle to get any of the Democrats’ main constituency groups to listen to his message. 

Easy political prediction: Everything RFK, Jr. says will be ridiculed, censored and cancelled by the Establishment he wants to expose.

Handicapping the race …

For those who still think elections can save the country, I see three scenarios  (with my early betting odds based on “Bill’s Maxim.”)

Even money. Biden wins … In which case I’m learning Spanish and moving to Mexico.  (Just joking … I think).

4 to 1. Trump, who will be 78 in 2024, wins. One assumes Trump will really try to drain the swamp this time, which I think has to happen to save the country. Still, the  woke leftists and the MSM would have a conniption fit. I’ll stay in America just for the entertainment value. 

Those in the blue cities will probably threaten to move to Canada, which is not a bad idea as Global Warming won’t be as warm in Ottawa as Los Angeles. Canada’s prime minister is Heaven-sent for this crowd so I think our former fellow citizens will be quite happy in their new nation.

Now that I think about it, Trump might make the country great again by simply motivating all the rabid-vaxers and carbon-taxers to get into their Teslas and “Go north, Young Man.”

5 to 1. DeSantis wins, which would be my first choice just because I admire a contrarian who has the courage to go against the “current thing.” I think DeSantis relishes a good debate and can handle himself in one. Still, the press will despise him almost as much as they do Trump.

My green friends might decide to remain in America even with a President DeSantis. They all say they hate him … but they still book vacations to Miami and Panama City Beach. Their grandparents and retired uncles all live in Florida and seem to be tan and happy.

But I have no doubt about it. The dumbest thing that could happen will happen. I hope I’m wrong, but my maxim tells me Biden is going to win.

White House staffers are going to have to recruit more Easter Bunnies and the Teleprompter Guy will remain the most important person in the world.

… Whatever happens, if the censors don’t come after Substack (a big if), I hope to be here writing about it.
