Joe Biden: Betrayed By His Party, Supporters, And HollywoodJuly 29, 2024These past couple of weeks have been filled with emotional highs, angry outbursts, and frustration; the strength, fortitude, and mettle of the American people have been tested. The attempted assassination of a former president, and the on-again, off-again inane attempts to remove a sitting president, have had a profound effect on our psyches. In just a short time, the political landscape and the campaign dynamic have gone through a radical transformation. Republicans have coalesced around former President Trump and unified the party, whereas President Biden is at the center of a storm. It was only weeks ago, before the debate, that Democrats and the celebrity elite heaped praise and adulation on President Biden at a fundraiser. They raised $28 million at this particular gathering, but since then all funds have been detained. Lately, the Hollywood celebrity culture has shown just how disloyal and unreliable they can be, as many have jumped ship and retired to their Malibu and Beverly Hills palatial estates. Yes, many stars usually do come out for the Democratic Party, not those bright glowing lights in the night sky, but the impetuous and hypocritical Hollywood celebrity. This generation of screen idols seems to have an affinity for believing they know what’s best for the rest of us, but have proven just how shallow and ignorant they can be. They’re a far cry from the Golden Age of Hollywood, when character, substance, and patriotism meant something. Most Hollywood celebrities profess to be liberal and can be counted on to open up their wallets and donate substantial sums of money to Democrats. The loyalty of today’s celebrity class, however, goes only so far. Their self-serving motives are apparent, which is that the political party of their choice will provide them with the policies they desire, ones that are usually antithetical to the traditional values and institutions most Americans believe in. All this came to mind while reviewing emails - I receive on average about 150 daily. Among those I receive, for some reason, are from celebrities who beg for donations. The solicitions are still coming, and I thought you might find it interesting, and perhaps amusing to read some of them. * Hi, it's Carole King and I personally wrote this email. Joe Biden is wise and experienced, and he loves his country more than his ego. Joe is running to beat a wannabe dictator so he can continue to help people of good will achieve their aspirations. I’m with Joe. Will you join me in supporting the Biden-Harris campaign right now? We already have a strong presence on the ground. The only poll that matters is the ballot. If every eligible person of good will votes for Joe in November, we’ll win! Thank you so much for participating. * Dear Bob, * Hello It’s George Clooney, Joe and Kamala’s message of hope is one I believe in, and that voting for them is the only way to guarantee that future. Best regards, George Clooney (Actor) Boy! I really feel special. Imagine me, a common working stiff American, having the crème-de-la-crème of Hollywood royalty contacting me, and asking for help. It’s hard to express in words the extent of my great joy and gratitude. I responded to each email and asked if we could speak and get to know one another, but have not heard back. Woe is me. Yes, I’m being facetious, but what these shallow hypocrites have further revealed is that they will betray anyone who, for whatever reason, cannot satisfy their selfish demands. In particular is President Biden, who recently announced he would not run for reelection; it is common knowledge now that this decision was forced on him. Up until two weeks ago, Mr. Biden was “in it to win it.” Democrats, the media, and Hollywood, who instigated this move, deserted their president. The emails now don’t mention his name.
