“On the Holmes Front,” with Frank Holmes
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have exposed the strategy their presidential campaign will employ in their attempts to defeat presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in November.
If you want the short version, look at a calendar.
Today is January 6th, and that is what they and their campaign operatives plan to spend the next 11 months discussing.
The strategy went public yesterday, with Biden’s second Dark Brandon speech at Valley Forge, blasting President Trump and his supporters as a threat to democracy…but that speech wasn’t a one-off. Biden and Harris have put their money where Joe’s mouth is.
The first campaign ad of 2024 hit the airwaves today, and it triples down on the theme that Trump and the 74 million people who voted for him—the people Biden dismisses as “MAGA Republicans”—are the greatest threat to American freedom by virtue of their existence.
The Biden campaign has sunk half-a-million dollars into airing its latest 60-second spot, titled “Cause,” which takes aim at you personally.
“I made the preservation of American democracy the central issue of my presidency. I believe in free and fair elections and the right to vote fairly and have your vote counted,” Biden says in the 60-second version of the ad, which dropped today. “There’s something dangerous happening in America. There’s an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy.”
That “extremist movement” is you, according to Biden.
“All of us are being asked right now, ‘What will we do to maintain our democracy?’ History is watching. The world is watching,” said Joe, plagiarizing one of the most shopworn phrases of the 1960s.
“Most importantly, our children and grandchildren will hold us responsible,” Biden rambles. “The vice president and I have supported voting rights since day one of this administration, and I ask every American to join me in this cause.”
The full TV advertisement will air in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Additionally, 15-second and 6-second-long versions of the MAGA-hating campaign ad will pop up during YouTube videos, as well as on Instagram and ConnectedTV.
Biden releases a campaign ad that’s all about “voting rights” & how an “extremist” movement is trying to stop them
Insane gaslighting
This illegitimate regime stole the 2020 election and now they want to solidify their rigged system
We will stop them

A conservative decided to have fun with the hateful ad, humorousl leaving intactBiden’s warnings about “an extremist movement” tearing America apart.
But they changed the background images from Trump and MAGA forces to transgender Drag Queens, COVID masks, and Black Lives Matter rioters burning down whole city blocks during the “mostly peaceful protests” that Kamala Harris celebrated.

Biden can’t run on his record, with near-historic levels of inflation, an open border, exploding gas prices, and transgender celebrations at every turn.
He can’t imitate his “former” boss, Barack Obama, and give a rousing speech that would inspire his base to forget about his failures and vote for the Democrats anyway.
All he has is a strategy to call teveryone who opposes him a Nazi.
“Over the last three years, MAGA Republicans haven’t shied away from the Big Lie — they’ve doubled down,” said Biden-Harris 2024 campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodríguez. “This ad serves as a very real reminder that this election could very well determine the very fate of American democracy.”
Conservatives have a response to that: Give me a break!
“Biden campaign’s new ad does two things,” said a former leftist turned conservative. “1. Vilify and segregate this country more; ironically what he claims Trump is doing. 2. Preaches the Democratic way of an uneducated vote is better than a non-vote.”

If he supports voting rights, he should be up in arms about states such as Colorado and Maine, where left-wing officials have undermined democracy by removing Donald Trump’s name from the ballot.
They accuse the 45th president of committing insurrection — a crime which he’s never been charged in a court of law, much less convicted. The closest thing would have been his 2021 impeachment trial after January 6…where he was acquitted.
Biden might also be upset by special prosecutor Jack Smith’s efforts to convict Trump of dubious-sounding “crimes” in order to disqualify him from the presidential ballot ASAP.
If Biden wants Americans to focus on the threat to democracy, he should take a long look in a mirror.
