Here are the top ten reasons that Joe Biden will fly to Hawaii at the end of this month:

10: Swing state campaigning. (IYKYK.)

9: Can't make it all the way to Japan any longer.

8: Really likes the punch.

7: Wants to get lei'd.

6: Remind everyone about his heroism in the attack on Pearl Harbor.

5: Needs to reconnect to the South if he wants to win this election.

4: Skeet surfing!

3: The only Dem state saying "Aloha Joe."

2: Thinks it's Taiwan.

And the number one reason Joe Biden will visit Hawaii this month is ...

David Letterman will headline a fundraiser with President Joe Biden in 10 days at the home of Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, a person familiar with the plans told The Associated Press, a sign that his campaign is forging ahead despite continued calls for the president to bow out of the 2024 race.

The fundraiser on July 29 will feature the longtime late-night host, plus Biden and first lady Jill Biden, said the person, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity to discuss plans that had not yet been made public. The campaign has at least 10 other fundraising events over the last 10 days of July.

Wait -- a celebrity fundraiser? Had we not heard that the donor class has entirely turned its back on Biden? The New York Times said so just two days ago:

Wealthy supporters of President Biden’s campaign have slammed their wallets closed, with support from major donors in July on track to plummet to roughly half of the previous month’s amount if he remains in the race, according to four people briefed on the campaign’s finances. ...

The huge decline in fund-raising came after weeks of concern from donors. Mr. Clooney, who had been a strong supporter of Mr. Biden, wrote in a New York Times guest essay that he could no longer support the president after the debate and after seeing him in person at a fund-raiser in Los Angeles a few weeks earlier.

Other Hollywood celebrities followed, among them Rob Reiner, the director and actor.

A day or two before that, Hollywood heavyweight Jeffrey Katzenberg tried to push Biden out of the race by telling him that fundraising from the entertainment industry would dry up. Katzenberg himself came under a firestorm of criticism from Tinseltown for gaslighting everyone about Biden's cognitive status for the last few years, so he clearly hoped to recover his own standing by choking off fundraising. Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg were said to have been Biden's "secret weapons" against Trump, but for now it looks like they don't even represent their own clique, let alone their own party. 

So the celebrity fundraisers haven't come to an end for Biden. The AP reports that Biden has fundraisers still scheduled for every day of the month, starting on Monday. Will those be as lucrative as the bash that George Clooney hosted and where Barack Obama appeared?Probably not, but contrary to reports, Dem big-ticket donors aren't locking the checkbooks in their Maseratis either. 

This supports what I have said all along. All Biden has to do is ride out the next three weeks and the Dump Biden movement will collapse. If he's still raising money, and if Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez still support him, Biden has no reason to get out ... unless he and Democrats and the entire Protection Racket Media are willing to admit that he's senile and has been for the past two-plus years at the very least. And then admit their complicity in a conspiracy to cover up that fact and defraud the American public.  

Until then, Democrats are stuck with Biden, and will shortly return to the gaslighting of the last two-plus years. The media will crank up the Republicans Pounce®! and Cheap Fakes! narratives. But no one will forget that the emperor's new clothes were a scam and that they've seen Biden naked.
