Did Nancy Pelosi force Biden to resign?

Editor's Note: This article was originally published on TheBlaze.com.

This is the third time in three presidential elections that the Democratic Party elites have subverted democracy to choose a presidential candidate.

Earlier this month, a report dated on a Friday indicated that Joe Biden would withdraw from the presidential election on that Sunday. That came as news to the White House and the Biden campaign, which denied the rumors as late as Saturday night. In fact, before the post on X went up Sunday, nobody in the White House knew for certain what Biden would do.

The Democratic Party elites claim Biden dropped out because of poor polling and a lack of money. They say Biden’s continuation as the Democratic Party’s nominee would wipe out the Democratic Party, staff, friends, and donors, all of whom have already abandoned him. I don't think that’s why Biden dropped out. Why did they announce on Friday that a message would be coming from the White House and that he would withdraw or perhaps resign? Why didn't Joe Biden publicly announce his resignation on that day? Something definitely smells rank about this.

I believe former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was the driving force behind all of this.

Here’s what bothers me. When you do something this dramatic, when you become the first president in American history to drop out in the middle of a presidential race, you wouldn’t just spring it on everyone. You would give a public speech. Yet in this bizarre public statement on X announcing that he is stepping down as the Democratic nominee, Biden said he would address it publicly later that week. Why? Why didn’t he wait to address it from the Oval Office like all other presidents? Why would he delay a public statement regarding a decision of this magnitude?

My guess is there was another gun waiting to go off. Someone — or some people — told Biden, “You have until 2:00 p.m. on Sunday to withdraw.” Or what? What did Joe Biden get in return for dropping his candidacy? Were there promises made to Biden that he would not be held responsible for any crimes he might have committed?

Did they say, “Look, Joe, we know there is some really compelling evidence that you’re selling out your country. We will make sure that goes away and you and your family will be pardoned. But you have until 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.” That feels like speculation, but it’s not unimaginable or out of the question.

There was also the fact that they could pardon him if he stepped down from the presidency entirely. I don’t think he’s going to be president through the end of the year, let alone next January 20. But the powers that be can pardon him if he’s not the president, and they’ll spin it by saying that they just had to pardon the Bidens to protect them against Trump’s ruthless quest for revenge. They'll say Trump would just put all the Bidens in jail out of political spite, and they simply couldn’t let that happen. That will be good enough, apparently, for a lot of Democrats.

There is more going on behind the scenes.

I believe former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was the driving force behind all of this. Don't you just love how over the last few weeks, the California Democrat kept saying, “We want Joe Biden to make the decision himself”? Then Joe would say, "I made the decision, and I'm staying." Yeah, right. She already had made that decision, and she put the gun to Biden's head to make him comply.

Alex Soros previously said he would not endorse Kamala Harris. Yet he did nearly immediately on Monday. A lot of Democrats seem to be getting in line behind Harris, albeit reluctantly. Yet Barack and Michelle Obama strangely have not endorsed her yet. That furthers my suspicions that Harris won’t be the candidate in the end. I did make a bet with my co-host Stu Burguiere earlier this year that Michelle Obama would be the Democratic nominee.

This is another lingering question: Why didn't Biden step down as president of the United States altogether? If he is not capable of running a campaign, he is certainly not capable of running the White House.

The 25th Amendment may have been the gun that was about to go off: “We are either going to take you out of the Oval Office, or we will leave you as president so you can finish your term. We will have parades for you, and you will be remembered as one of the greatest presidents of all time. People will remember you like George Washington, stepping aside for the good of the country and the good of the party. Otherwise, we will invoke the 25th.” That is a possible gun that could have gone off.

But if this man is not fit enough to run for re-election, then I don’t want him in a room with Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping, either. I don't want him on the telephone with anybody for that matter. He is a walking national security risk.

There is more going on behind the scenes, and I doubt that the current matchup of Donald Trump versus Kamala Harris will be the last word in this wild election year.

POLL: What DARK government secrets will Trump uncover?

Will the dark secrets of the Deep State finally see the light of day? Or will they slip back into darkness, as they have many times before?

The Trump administration is gearing up to fulfill one of Trump's most anticipated campaign promises: to make the contents of the JFK files, along with other Deep State secrets, available to the public. Kash Patel, who has promised to publicize the highly anticipated files, is expected to be confirmed next week as Trump's director of the FBI. Moreover, the House Oversight Committee created a new task force headed by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna called "Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets," which is tasked with investigating and declassifying information on the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations, UFOs, the Epstein list, COVID's origins, and 9/11. This all comes after the FBI found 2,400 "new" records relating to the assassination of President Kennedy following Trump's executive order to release the files.

Glenn discussed this topic with the cast of the Patrick Bet David podcast. Glenn expressed his confidence in Trump's radical transparency—on the condition that Kash Patel is confirmed. The cast was not as optimistic, expressing some doubt about whether Trump will actually unveil all that he has promised. But what do you think? What files are likely to see the light of day? And what files will continue to linger in the dark? Let us know in the poll below

Do you think the JFK, RFK, and MLK files will be unveiled?

Do you think the 9/11 files will be unveiled?

Do you think the COVID files will be unveiled?

Do you think the UFO files will be unveiled?

Do you think the Epstein list will be unveiled?

Transgender opera in Colombia? 10 SHOCKING ways USAID spent your tax dollars.

The government has been doing what with our tax money!?

Under the determined eye of Elon Musk, DOGE has rooted out the corruption that permeates USAID, and it turns out that it's worse than we thought. Glenn recently read a list of atrocious causes that were funded by USAID, and the list was as long as it was shocking.

Since the January consumer index report was published today, one thing is clear: eggs are bearing the brunt of inflation. That's why we illustrated the extent of USAID's wasteful spending of YOUR taxpayer dollars by comparing it to the price of eggs. How many eggs could the American people have bought with their tax dollars that were given to a "transgender opera" in Colombia or indoctrinating Sri Lankans with woke gender ideology? The truth will shock you:

1. A “transgender opera” in Colombia

USAID spent $47,000 on a transgender opera in Colombia. That's over 135,000 eggs.

2. Sex changes and "LGBT activism" in Guatemala

$2 million was spent funding sex changes along with whatever "LGBT activism" means. That equates to over 5.7 million eggs!

3. Teaching Sri Lankan journalists how to avoid binary-gendered language

USAID forked over $7.9 million to combat the "gender binary" in Sri Lankan journalism. That could have bought nearly 23 million eggs.

4. Tourism in Egypt

$6 million (or just over 17 million eggs) was spent to fund tourism in Egypt. If only someone had thought to build some impressive landmarks...

5. A new "Sesame Street" show in Iraq

USAID spent $20 million to create a new Sesame Street show in Iraq. That's just short of 58 million eggs...

6. Helping the BBC value the diversity of Libyan society

$2.1 million was sent to the BBC (the British Broadcasting Corporation) to help them value the diversity of Libyan society (whatever that means). That could have bought over 6 million eggs.

7. Meals for a terrorist group linked to Al-Qaeda

$10 million worth of USAID-funded meals went to an Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group. That comes up to be just shy of 29 million eggs.

8. Promoting inclusion in Vietnam 

A combined $19.3 million was sent to two separate inclusion groups in Vietnam inclusion groups in Vietnam (why where they separated? Not very inclusive of them). That's over 55 million eggs.

9. Promoting DEI in Serbia's workplaces

USAID sent $1.5 million (4.3 million eggs) to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities.”

10. Funding EcoHealth Alliance, tied to the Wuhan Institute of Virology's "bat research"

EcoHealth Alliance, one of the key NGOs that funded the Wuhan lab's bat virus research, received $5 million from USAID, which is equivalent to 14.5 million eggs.

The bottom line...

So, how much damage was done?

In total, approximately $73.8 million was wasted on the items on this list. That comes out to be 213 million eggs. Keep in mind that these are just the items on this list, there are many, many more that DOGE has uncovered and will uncover in the coming days. Case in point: that's a lot of eggs.

POLL: Should Trump stop producing pennies?

SAUL LOEB / Contributor, Chip Somodevilla / Staff | Getty Images

On Sunday, February 9th, President Trump ordered the U.S. Mint to halt the production of pennies. It costs the mint three cents to produce every penny, which Trump deemed wasteful. However, critics argue that axing the pennies will be compensated by ramping up nickel production, which costs 13 cents per coin.

In other news, President Trump promised on Truth Social that he would be reversing a Biden-era policy that mandated the use of paper straws throughout the federal government. From potentially slashing entire agencies to saying farewell to pennies and paper straws, Trump is hounding after wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars.

But what do you think? Was Trump right to put an end to pennies? And should plastic straws make a comeback? Let us know in the poll below:

Should Trump stop the production of pennies? 

Do you agree with Trump's reversal of the plastic straw ban?

Was this the most PATRIOTIC Super Bowl yet?

The 2025 Super Bowl demonstrated Trump’s vision of a new America.

On Sunday, February 9th, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the biggest sporting event of the year. But this wasn't just a victory for Eagles fans. For those watching, it became apparent that American culture has changed, the zeitgeist has shifted, and America has become cool again. While remnants of woke culture lingered, they felt out of step next to the parade of American Flags and patriotic messaging that dominated the national event. The message was clear: America is back.

Everybody knows that the commercials are the best part of any Super Bowl, and last night's game was no exception. As Glenn has pointed out, while some of the ads still carried woke messages (like Nike's), many more captured the newly kindled patriotism felt nationwide. Here are four of the best commercials from last Sunday that make this the most patriotic Super Bowl yet:

1. Rocket: "Own the Dream"

This touching commercial by the financial services company, Rocket, states "Everyone deserves a shot at the American dream," while showing images of people returning home and building families. The ad included a cover of John Denver's iconic song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" and featured an in-stadium sing-along, live from the Super Bowl.

2. Secret Service: "A History of Protection"

Donald Trump made history by being the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl, which required the efforts of hundreds of Secret Service agents to ensure his safety. The Secret Service boasted of this feat during their minute-long commercial, which lauded American values and achievements and featured iconic American imagery.

3. Brad Pitt: "Huddle Up"

The Super Bowl introduction celebrated snapshots of American achievement accompanied with a powerful commentary about unity narrated by Brad Pitt. The message is clear: Americans can achieve great things when we work together. The ad conjures up American ideals such as hard work, ingenuity, self-sacrifice, and teamwork.

4. Jeep: "Big Game"

Movie star Harrison Ford appeared in Jeep's Super Bowl commercial to promote freedom and to remind us that "freedom isn't free." Ford treks through the mountains while ruminating on what freedom means in America and the opportunities and responsibilities that come with it.
