Viewers of Thursday night’s presidential debate on CNN hammered President Joe Biden’s historically poor performance. A CNN flash poll on the debate conducted by SSRS found a whopping 67 percent of those polled believed former President Donald Trump won the debate while only 33 percent believed Biden won. Significantly, prior to the debate, the same voters said 55 percent to 45 percent that they expected Trump to perform better. Even with a margin of error of +/-5 percent, the results show an astounding debate night victory for Trump, who has consistently led Biden in polling for months, particularly in critical...

Well, at least nobody bothered with the usual leaden rituals of American presidential debate. There was no "spin" ...other than this fairly half-hearted post-game revelation from NBC News: NEW: Two sources familiar with the situation say "President Biden has a cold." — Kelly O'Donnell (@KellyO) June 28, 2024 Apparently, the poor chap came down with a "cold" forty-five seconds before airtime. Maybe that rebound Covid he's prone to, or the avian flu. And there was no "fact-checking", because we're way beyond that now: "There was no inflation when I came into office" - Joe Biden, accepting full blame for inflation...

President Joe Biden isn’t known for telling the truth. So, it came as no surprise when the Delaware Democrat got up on stage to tell some pretty tall tales during Thursday’s debate with former President Donald Trump. From the crisis he created at the U.S.-Mexico border to manufactured hoaxes about his opponent, there was almost no subject Biden didn’t lie about. Here are the 20 biggest whoppers he told during Thursday night’s matchup with the Orange Man

Celebrities have lashed out at Donald Trump, the debate moderators, and the state of US politics - but none were willing to claim Joe Biden won. The president and his predecessor faced off in the first of two debates in Atlanta on Thursday night on topics from the economy to immigration and foreign affairs. Biden, suffering from a cold, spoke hoarsely and appeared confused and sometimes incoherent at the start of the debate, but improved as it went along.

Following Wednesday's failed coup in Bolivia against President Luis Arce, a number of social media accounts are accusing the CIA of being involved. Users on X, formerly Twitter, speculated that the coup attempt was secretly backed by the CIA, either in relation to Bolivia's vast supplies of lithium, in retaliation for its closeness to Russia or for its hostility to Israel. The tweets gained hundreds of thousands of views.

After a full week of debate prep, and with CNN’s thumb on the scales, Joe Biden’s debate performance was abysmal and has been universally panned as a ‘catastrophe’ for Democrats. “OPERATION REPLACE BIDEN,” the Drudge headline screamed Thursday night. “DEMS SCRAMBLE WITH 130 DAYS TO GO. DEBATE CATASTROPHE.” CNN morning host Kasie Hunt wrote on X before the debate was over that Biden’s weak demeanor had all her Democrat friends “nearly beside themselves.” “The voice, open-mouthed look, and visual contrast between President Biden and former President Trump all have Democrats I’m talking to nearly beside themselves watching this debate,” she...

Jill Biden has been accused of treating her husband like a toddler after she praised him for 'answering all the questions' during his disastrous CNN debate with Donald Trump last night. The 81-year-old US President's wife helped him on to stage at a 'Let's Go Joe' event in Atlanta where she then appeared to baby him about how well he had performed against his rival. Experts are calling for him to stand aside and let someone else fight Trump in November - with some friends and supporters claiming that it is Jill Biden who should tell her husband to throw...

CNN host Chris Wallace said Thursday on CNN’s post-presidential debate that President Joe Biden could not recover from his debate performance. Host Erin Burnett said, “Chris, he goes through six days of preparation at Camp David, and they know the rules. He practices with the mics. He knows every one of these questions is coming. And yet he couldn’t fill the time. Now, I just want to, let’s see what the White House is saying: Sources close to the White House are saying he had a cold, wasn’t feeling well. I mean, as you would expect, that came out early...

resident Biden repeatedly froze and misspoke during his first — and possibly only — debate against former President Donald Trump Thursday night, prompting anguish and alarm in the Democratic Party fewer than four months before the general election. In what will be the most-replayed political moment of the night, the week, the month, and maybe the year, the 81-year-old incumbent lost his train of thought for about nine seconds, looking down at his lectern before popping up again to say that he “finally beat Medicare.” Biden, who would be 86 if he finishes a second term in January 2029, did...

The momentous news of Julian Assange’s release has sent shockwaves throughout the political and media landscape. It is a remarkable and long-overdue conclusion to a dark journey that began with Assange’s being holed up in an Ecuadorean Embassy for nearly ten years (2010–2019) to avoid trumped-up and politically motivated “rape” charges in Sweden. In the middle of the 2016 election, Assange’s organization, Wikileaks, published a trove of emails that proved highly embarrassing to the Democrat establishment and is generally acknowledged to have played a not-insignificant role in the outcome of the 2016 election. In the United States, no one went...

resident Joe Biden defended his debate performance, saying he did 'well' and inisisted he was not dropping out of the race when pressed during a post-debate food run. Biden, along with wife Jill, stopped at a Waffle House in Atlanta to pick up some chow for the plane ride to Raleigh, North Carolina where they have a campaign event on Friday. 'I think we did well,' Biden told the press traveling with him. When asked about the mounting calls among Democrats for him to drop out, and whether he has any concerns about his performance, Biden said: 'No. It’s hard...

Brutally funny...

My latest song. Step softly.

Millions just witnessed the end of a presidency live on television. Joe Biden’s performance during the debate was embarrassing. Whenever CNN put him up on the split screen, he had a thousand-yard stare. He didn’t look old. He looked ancient. He looked empty. But at least he wasn’t speaking. Because when it was his time to answer, Biden was incoherent. He said he “beat Medicaid.” Asked about abortion, he randomly started talking about migrant crime. “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence,” former President Trump noted at one point, “and I don’t think he...

Tar-Atanamir (pron. [aˈtanamir]) was the thirteenth King of Númenor. Tar-Atanamir succeeded his father, Tar-Ciryatan, and ruled for 192 years, from S.A. 2029 until his death, being the first King to rule for life since Tar-Minyatur.He was proud and greedy like his father. During his reign the Númenóreans exacted heavy tributes from the men of the coasts of Middle-earth. In his time the Shadow fell upon Númenor and the king and those that followed his opinion spoke openly against the ban that forbade them to sail to Tol Eressea and Aman and the mortality of Men, but they still kept their...

Sometimes people do things that have extreme spiritual significance without even realizing it. When I watched Jonathan Cahn’s latest video on Tuesday, I knew that I had to write about what just happened in New York City. From June 16th through June 19th, a 270 foot dragon was wrapped around the Empire State Building. In addition, giant banners that featured dragons with the ominous message “All Must Choose” were draped over iconic landmarks all over the Big Apple, and restaurants throughout the city were featuring dragon-themed menu items. All of this was being done to promote the second season of...
