Everyone knows that President Joe Biden is from Scranton. Pennsylvania is also a key battleground state for 2024, one of the ones that could decide the election. It seems like it should have been a previous obvious choice for a place where he would make a campaign speech, and where he would have very few issues. That wasn't quite the case, as he had his typical moments of confusion. But it wasn't just his mental fitness, or lack thereof, that was on his display. Even when he was more with it, he still, yet again, repeated debunked narratives about former...

Joe Biden on Tuesday traveled to his *hometown* of Scranton, Pennsylvania for a campaign event. And literally no one cares. VIDEO AT LINK............ Virtually no one showed up to see 81-million vote recipient Joe Biden – in his hometown – in a state he supposedly won in 2020. Biden is delivering remarks on the US tax code at the Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple. Perhaps he should tell his own son Hunter Biden to pay his taxes. Hunter was indicted on federal tax evasion charges. The press line was longer than the attendee line, according to Newsmax. Per...

SCRANTON, Pa. — President Biden has long touted his roots in this former coal-mining town, where he was born and lived for the first decade of his life. But a little more than a year before voters will determine whether the 80-year-old commander-in-chief will receive a second four-year term of office, denizens of Scranton’s Biden Street don’t feel so proud of their most famous native son. SCRANTON, Pa. — President Biden has long touted his roots in this former coal-mining town, where he was born and lived for the first decade of his life. But a little more than a...

A traffic stop in DeKalb County, Alabama, turned up a child reported missing from Pennsylvania. And the officer responsible was the son of TV’s Dog the Bounty Hunter, on his first day as a certified patrolman. That’s according to Ider Police Chief Stephen Malone. “Being able to make the call to this boy’s guardian, letting them know he’s safe and on his way home, is one the most rewarding parts of this job,” Malone said in a statement. Ider police say Amanda Beiland, 37, of Ider, has been charged with interference with child custody. She also has a previous charge...

This is not a joke. I laughed out loud when I saw it, just as I did on I-95 near Wilmington Delaware when I stopped at the "Joe Biden Restrooms."

Judicial Watch settled its election integrity lawsuit against Pennsylvania after the commonwealth acknowledged it removed more than 178,000 ineligible registrations on its voter rolls, the watchdog group announced Thursday. The settlement commits the commonwealth and five of its counties to publicly reporting the number of registered and eligible voters, both active and inactive, for the next five years. “[Pennsylvania] also agreed to publish the total number of address confirmation notices sent to registered voters and the number returned as undeliverable or not responded to,” according to Judicial Watch, and “the total number of voters removed from the registration rolls on...

President Joe Biden pledged to build a high-speed railway between Scranton, Pennsylvania, and New York City on Wednesday. The president made his bold (and likely unrealistic) pronouncement during his post-midterm election press conference on Wednesday when recalling how a congressman in the state of Pennsylvania asked if his infrastructure plan would include a high-speed rail between the two cities. “We can. First of all, it will make it a lot easier to take a lot of vehicles off the road, and we have more money in the pot now already out there that we voted for than the entire money...

State Sen. Doug Mastriano will bring his Republican campaign for governor to the Midvalley on Saturday.

President Biden has spent more time in Pennsylvania during his presidency than any other state besides his home locale of Delaware, and Democratic party operatives and insiders say he’s clung tight to his birth state for good reason. Pennsylvania is home to a critical midterm Senate pickup opportunity for Democrats in the race between Lt. Gov John Fetterman (D) and Republican Mehmet Oz. The state was also pivotal to Biden’s presidential win in 2020, as well as Democratic victories in the 2018 midterms and — importantly — losses in the 2016 election that put former President Trump in the White...

The U.K. climate group whose members deflated tires on an estimated 40 vehicles in New York City last month recently announced similar actions in cities nationwide. The Tyre Extinguishers, which encourages activists to deflate tires of parked sports utility vehicles (SUV) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, said it has already spread to Chicago and the San Francisco area this month. Individuals affiliated with the group have deflated the tires of 20 SUVs in Chicago, another 20 SUVs in Scranton, Pa., and 12 SUVs near San Francisco this month, according to the group.

Former state Attorney General Kathleen Kane was arrested on Saturday on suspicion of driving while intoxicated following a two-vehicle crash in Scranton, said Scranton Police Superintendent Thomas Carroll. Kane, 55, of Scranton, was taken into custody, processed and released on general impairment driving under the influence, Carroll said. Formal charges will be filed with the court.

Bob Bolus, the Scranton, Pa. truck driver leading a convoy to DC is reporting two flat tires -- delaying the start of their journey. “We're not going to camp there. Let me put it that way,” Bolus replied. “We're not camping on the Beltway. We're gonna have our voices heard and let them understand this is only the tip of the iceberg."

In December, hundreds migrants landed at Pennsylvania’s Wilkes-Barre Scranton International Airport. After arriving, they were reportedly loaded on buses and sent to unknown locations. According to GOP lawmakers, the Biden administration did not make anyone aware of the transfers, leading some to classify them as “ghost flights.”

BOISE — On a quiet street south of downtown Boise, Michael Dick has festooned his front yard with homemade signs, including a large yellow placard that facetiously thanks President Biden for a growing list of grievances — $4-a-gallon gas, inflation, Afghanistan, covid-19. In capital letters in black marker, Dick, 59, recently added "dead civilians" and "dead U.S. soldiers" to his bill of particulars. In another part of town, alongside a “No trespassing” sign, Michael Schwarz, 60, used black spray-paint to scrawl “Joe Blows” across an electric-pink poster board. And that’s mild compared to the sentiments some people — largely in...

While running for president, Joe Biden campaigned as a lunch-pail-carrying, blue-collar moderate from Scranton, Pa. But during his short tenure in the White House, Biden has proven himself to be a far-left champion of bureaucracy, reckless government spending and the centralization of economic and political power. The most recent example is Biden’s nomination of Cornell law professor Saule Omarova to head the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, a branch of the Treasury Department. Omarova is a controversial choice. Born in the former Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan, Omarova was educated in the Soviet Union, graduating from Moscow State University...

Biden Speaks at Critical Moment for Economic Agenda US President Joe Biden has been mocked online after he stumbled his way through a speech designed to promote his administration’s $3.5 trillion ‘Build Back Better’ agenda. The bill, which is currently stuck in Congress as Democrats argue over the cost, is designed to boost America’s social security net. President Biden travelled to his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania to deliver the speech, which was marred by numerous gaffes and malapropisms.

Joe Biden on Wednesday traveled to his ‘hometown’ of Scranton, Pennsylvania to push his garbage “Built Back Broke Better” agenda.Biden loves to brag that he’s old ‘blue collar Joe’ from Scranton but he didn’t receive a warm welcome when he arrived to his old stomping grounds on Wednesday.Today, I’m heading back home to Scranton. It’s where my values — of hard work and treating others with dignity — were set. Those values are at the core of my agenda.See you soon, Scranton.pic.twitter.com/exvps4LhJk— President Biden (@POTUS) October 20, 2021Joe Biden’s motorcade was booed as he arrived in Scranton on his way...

President Biden told a debunked story about his relationship with a long-time Amtrak worker. It’s the fourth time he’s shared the story with a national audience. There’s just one problem — it never happened. Biden said the conversation he had with the Amtrak worker took place around 2015. But the Amtrak worker retired in 1993 and died in 2014. President Biden may just be forgetful or he may be suffering from a serious medical issue that affects his long-term memory. Either way, it’s not good. The broader issue involves the White House staff and the Mainstream Media. Why haven’t they...
