The Enduring Influence of Donald Trump on the GOP  | Seth Leibsohn with Charles Kesler

Well, you’re going to remember where you were on Sunday when the news came that Joe Biden, the President of the United States, was withdrawing from the 2024 presidential election.

It’s one of those days like Lyndon Johnson on March the 31st of 1968. When those alive at the time remember the very unexpected development. Except of course, with the withdrawal of Joe Biden, it’s not entirely unexpected after the disaster of the June 27th debate. The Democratic Party obviously came to the conclusion that even though it is now scrambling, it is more likely to be successful on November the 5th without Joe Biden than with him. It’s a rather cold, if not ruthless political calculation, and the President is out.

There’s going to be a lot for us to think about, and there’s going to be a lot for Democrats to do in very short order with November five coming very quickly, but they asked for this development. Now they’ve got it.

The big point is, I can remember that night when Lyndon Johnson withdrew from the race in 1968. My father looked  me in the eye and said, “Son, you’re going to remember this. You're going to remember what happened Sunday.”

That’s just the way history works.

Albert Mohler: The President is Out

Donald Trump just can’t stop winning. He’s cheated death, and now the classified documents case Special Counsel Jack Smith brought in Florida has been dismissed.

US District Judge Aileen Cannon held that the special counsel’s prosecution was unconstitutional in two respects. First, Jack Smith is essentially a private citizen—no federal statute authorized his appointment by the attorney general, nor has he ever been subject to any sort of Senate approval.  Second, he’s been free to spend money with little to no Congressional oversight, in contravention of Constitutional requirements.  

Jack Smith will appeal the ruling to the 11th Circuit, and it will probably end up before the Supreme Court. To some, the decision may seem overly technical and legalistic. But the Constitution’s guardrails protect all of us from a government that could otherwise grow too powerful at the cost of our freedom.

The guardrails seem to be kicking in.
