Nate Silver Drops Truth Bomb on White House for Trying to Hide Biden's Cognitive Decline

Statistician and writer Nate Silver now says he "crossed the Rubicon" in November about Joe Biden running for reelection, suggesting that the besieged president should "stand down" if he's incapable of running a normal reelection campaign. Meaning, he says, activities like conducting a Super Bowl interview.

In a Silver Bulletin on Monday, titled "It's Time for the White House to Put Up or Shut Up," Silver said the first time his "internal needle" began to shift was in late summer when "Biden’s approval numbers remained poor even as the economy was improving." At the time, Silver blamed Biden's advanced age.

Biden turned 81 in November (Trump is 77) — an enormous problem for voters and one that Democrats weren’t going to be able to spin away. Still, as of late September [2023], I thought that it had become too late for a full-fledged primary challenge to Biden, and Biden voluntarily announcing that he wouldn’t run for a second term was a close call but probably failed a cost-benefit test for Democrats.

Silver then said what we all know: "Since then, Biden’s situation has become considerably worse." He then dropped one of several truth bombs on the White House and the Democrat Party:

If you’re someone who would rather not see Trump re-elected again or who cares about the election for other reasons, it’s time to face the facts. You need to adjust to the new reality and not be mired in anchoring bias by your previous impression of the race.

I suspect that Silver knows as much as the rest of us that the Democrat Party is stuck between a rock and a hard place. The more the White House tries to shield Biden from the public, the louder the outcry. On the other hand, the more the White House trots the guy out, the more confirmation that he's clearly incapable of carrying out the duties of the presidency.

Real Estate Investor Grant Cardone Says He Won't Invest in NY, Will Double Efforts in Red States

Real estate investor Grant Cardone posted on X that his company, CardoneCapital, had initiated research into potential investments in New York. However, former President Trump was ordered to pay $355 million following a civil fraud ruling.

Cardone said his team will double their efforts to find real estate properties in several red states, including Florida, Texas, and Tennessee. As RedState reported, Elena Cardone, Grant's wife, set up a GoFundMe page to help Trump pay the $355 million. So far, they have raised over half a million dollars. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul tried to reassure folks that they would not be fined for doing business in New York.

Cardone is not the only entrepreneur deciding not to do any business in New York. As RedState reported, Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary, also known as "Mr. Wonderful" said he would never invest in New York now. O'Leary also noted that "every real estate developer does this" regarding the court ruling of Trump, as well as refuting Hochul's claim that those who do business in New York are "very different than Donald Trump."

O'Leary called California a "loser state," and New York a "mega-loser state." Instead, he will invest in red states such as North Dakota, Oklahoma, and West Virginia.
