New in PJ Media:
There is already supposed to be a second debate, but not until Sept. 10, and by then, one candidate could be permanently holed up behind the taxpayer-funded walls of his sumptuous Delaware beach house. And so Donald Trump, fresh from looking informed, coherent, and presidential in the first debate, wants a rematch before then.
As well as the first go-round went for Trump, however, he is in no mood to participate in another rigged charade in which leftist moderators lob softballs at the putative president and hand grenades at his opponent. Instead, Trump is challenging Biden to a real debate.
Fox News reported Friday that Trump challenged the dementia patient in the Oval Office to a “no holds barred,” “all on” debate that would actually touch on the key issues of the day, rather than focus on what hard-left “journalists” want to manipulate Americans into thinking is important.
Trump challenged Biden to explain his abysmal record of the last three-plus years: “Let Joe explain why he wants Open Borders, with millions of people, and many violent criminals from parts unknown, pouring into our once great Nation, or why he wants Men Playing in Women’s Sports, or demand ALL ELECTRIC VEHICLES within five years, or why he allowed INFLATION TO RUN RAMPANT, destroying the people of our Country, and so much more.”
This was not a challenge to Biden alone. It was a challenge to the establishment media and all their moderators for presidential debates going back decades. The questions, both in their subject matter and how they have been framed, have overwhelmingly been designed to sell the leftist point of view and to reflect the left’s perspectives and concerns.
Trump knows that trying to get moderators from allegedly more fair, accurate, and patriotic news sites has not alleviated the problem one bit — remember Chris Wallace’s disgraceful performance as moderator in a 2020 debate. And so he has a novel solution: no moderator at all. The debate would simply be the two candidates discussing the issues.
Trump continued: “It would also, under great pressure, prove his ‘competence,’ or lack thereof. Likewise it would be yet another test for me. What a great evening it would be, just the two of us, one on one, in a good, old fashioned Debate, the way they used to be. ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE!!!”
It has been a very long time since debates were that way.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Fifty years ago, Jill was Biden’s babysitter: Today – nothing’s changed….
Emilie Green says
“. . . nothing’s changed.”
Except his diapers. Several times a day. And “Doctor” Jill elevates herself far above duty that duty. That’s left to the little people.

No reason for Trump to agree to another debate, except maybe w/ a Biden replacement. The purpose of the first one – to show Biden for the shell he is – has been achieved. Aside from that, everyone knows what sort of a president either would be, since both have been presidents
Besides, debates are no longer the news: it’s only who will be the (D) candidate against Trump, and how
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Also, hell will freeze over before the Dems would agree to a debate w/ no moderator. Particularly if Biden is the candidate

Many years ago, there was a tv program where a contestant was put into a sound-proof booth and asked questions. He could only hear the voice of the questioner, so no one could give him the answers. He might win up to 64 thousand.
Put joe biden in a booth and ask him questions.
There was a headline last night which claimed jill biden was whispering into his ear, giving him answers at some presser.
Put him in a booth and let him mumble and fumble all on his own.
He claimed to be getting over a cold and his foreign trips. Everyone should know by now that when he speaks, he lies. And he is incapable of making any important decisions for himself alone, much less for a nation of people.
But the corruption rampant in those who are running things, will not allow the Truth to matter.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Asking, or expecting Joe to do that is like expecting pigs to fly. If you drop them mid air, all they will do is land w/ a thud, & of course, die
somehistory says
I know. But that would be the only way for him to stand on his own. Trump could be the one asking questions.
But it will not happen..
James Lincoln says
Never gonna happen…

In other words, climate change in hell…. ?

A debate like that might hurt Trump. He interrupts he’s angry he comes across as an unpleasant character. CNN helped Trump (not intentionally) with their debate rules. It made him appear less unpleasant.
OLD GUY says
Trump needs to keep the pressure on Biden or the Media and Democratic Party will sweep it all under the rug. Big question is WHO will the Democrats run if they pull Joe?
JustJim says
How can you tell when Joe Biden is lying…… His lips are moving!

Considering that last Debate was on CNN and had two CNN Anchors ask the questions while it was Mr Joe Crapper himself that compared Trump to Hitler and the female famous for her eye rolls when Trump answered her questions.
Comparing that to how Trump handled the whole show was amazing in his part.
These people fear Trump because they are doing to him today what they suggest he will do to them once he is back in the Oval Office without taking into consideration that Trump did nothing of the sort while they denigrated him 24/7/365 for his Four full years so what makes them think he will do it this time around, though I hope he does as they deserve it.
They are running scared.
