, Yes, he’s running. Unless his party manages to stop him. And not only is he running, he’s trying to make sure he can’t lose.
President Joe Biden has proposed sweeping changes to the Democratic presidential nominating calendar, upending the current primary lineup to include several states that were key to his 2020 win — and breaking with a half-century of precedent that put Iowa at the front of the line.
The co-chairs of the Democratic National Committee’s Rules and Bylaws committee, which has been charged with reordering the primaries that lead off Democratic presidential contests, announced the White House’s preferences to DNC members during a private dinner Thursday night.
The moves would dramatically change the path to the presidency for future Democratic candidates. The proposal would see South Carolina leading off the 2024 primaries on Feb. 6, followed by New Hampshire and Nevada jointly holding their contests the next week, on Feb. 13, followed by Georgia on Feb. 20 and then Michigan on Feb. 27, according to a person who attended the meeting.
South Carolina gave Biden his critical first primary win on his way to the Democratic nomination in 2020, and Georgia and Michigan gave him crucial general election victories as well, in addition to primary wins.
This isn’t just random chance, it’s demographics.
Biden performs really well with black voters and fairly badly with white voters. South Carolina is locked down for him courtesy of Rep. Clyburn. That primary helped make his candidacy inevitable. Georgia also has a large black Democrat electorate. His preferred primary calendar would give him a few inevitable wins out of the gate while draining any potential opponents of money and support. And, if it’s adopted, would scare off any serious contenders whose only real path forward depends on either major white lefty defections or Latino voters.
So yes, he’s planning to run and his people are also rigging the primaries to make him inevitable.

State That Never Had Slaves Wants $569B in Slavery Reparations
Asians, who were the most discriminated against, will foot the bill
Why not just call it a $569 billion payoff to the Democrat voting base? From “student loan forgiveness” to San Francisco’s “guaranteed income” for the 72 genders to all the environmental consulting gigs, isn’t that what 90% of the political program of Democrat officials now comes down to?
A California task force studying the long-term effects of slavery and systemic racism on black residents in the state has estimated a whopping $569 billion in reparations is owed to the descendants of enslaved people, according to a report.
California never had slavery. So they’re defaulting to…
The nine-member panel concluded that black Californians whose ancestors were in the US in the 19th century are due $223,200 each due to housing discrimination practices utilized from 1933 to 1977, the New York Times reported.
Somehow we’ve gone from slavery to housing discrimination during the 1930s. Historically, California discriminated against Asians more than anyone else. And yet as a high-income group, they’re going to be stuck with much of the bill. As will Latinos. For that matter the majority of California residents were never even here back then, either they or their ancestors, yet they’re stuck with a $569 billion bill.
“We are looking at reparations on a scale that is the largest since Reconstruction,” Jovan Scott Lewis, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who is one of the nine members, told the Times
Is Jovan expecting to get $223,200? Isn’t that a conflict of interest?
Meanwhile, this is going on.
The infant son of a California tech honcho overdosed on fentanyl he found while crawling around a playground in an upscale San Francisco neighborhood, according to his frightened father and nanny.
The 10-month-old twin, Sena, was playing with his brother at George Moscone Park in the Marina District on Tuesday afternoon when he began struggling to breathe and turned blue, his nanny Wendy Marroqui said.
Who’s going to be paying reparations for that one?
