    One of former President Joe Biden’s senior aides admitted in a new book that the 82-year-old couldn’t grasp the back and forth of debate and would fall asleep by the pool while they prepped for his showdown with Trump, according to a book excerpt. Top Biden aide Ron Klain, who helped the former president with debate prep, was “half-seriously” wondering if Biden believed he was the president of NATO rather than the president of the United States, according to the excerpt of Chris Whipple’s new book published by The Guardian. While they prepped, Klain reportedly told Whipple that the then...

    Does anyone remember the Freeper “CNN”? I think it stood for cringing news network. He was always talking about bringing back US jobs, manufacturing jobs especially from China. I think he’s long gone, but I’ll bet he would’ve liked “liberation day”

    Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) battered a DOJ spokesman from pillar to post in a contentious House Judiciary Hearing focused on whether federal judges could block President Trump’s actions via universal injunctions. The courageous senator pointed out the vast web of liberal judges who are abusing the Constitution to undercut President Trump’s authority. For context, this hearing was held in the run-up to an upcoming Senate Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Rule by District Judges II,” which will be held on April 2, 2025, and is designed to investigate federal judges who have halted Trump’s executive orders with an unprecedented 87 universal...

    Speaking in a major announcement, Karoline Leavitt gave American workers, seniors, and the middle-class great news as she released details on President Donald Trump’s ambitious tax cut priorities, promising the most extensive middle-class tax relief package in U.S. history, bringing the promises that President Trump made during his campaign to reality.

    The Hill ^ | 4/2/25 | Alexander Bolton
    A group of Republican senators voted along with Democrats on Wednesday for a resolution to undo President Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports, dealing an embarrassing blow to Trump. The resolution expresses the sense of the Senate and doesn’t have the force of law, but its 51-48 passage is unwelcome news for the president on the very day he announced a host of new tariffs.

    We’re deep into the second week of this election campaign and it appears to be Mark Carney’s to lose. But just how solid is the support for the Liberals, and what can Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives do to get back into the race? This week on The Writ Podcast, I’m joined ahead by the Pollster Panel to break it all down. Dan Arnold, chief strategy officer at Pollara, was . .. .the Liberals’ pollster during the last three federal election campaigns. Andrew Enns is executive vice-president at Léger.

    Senate Republicans led by South Carolina's Lindsey Graham are reportedly set to bypass the Senate parliamentarian and her expected ruling this week on whether they can use a legislative process – known as budget reconciliation – to pass President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts.The process can be used only if such an initiative doesn't increase the federal deficit. Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough has yet to decide, so the GOP is forging ahead, in an apparent effort not to appear to be overruling her. Graham, as Senate Budget Committee chairman, has determined, based on "scoring" the budget resolution, which includes Trump's tax extensions,...
  • Intermittent fasting increases sex drive in male mice: An approach for low libido in humans? (One Meal A Day)

    04/02/2025 4:01:39 PM PDT · by ConservativeMind · 16 replies
    Long-term fasting in 24-hour cycles increases the sex drive of male mice by lowering the concentration of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain. This effect is linked to a diet-induced deficiency of the precursor substance tryptophan—an amino acid that must be obtained through food. Researchers suggest that similar mechanisms may exist in humans. Starting at two months of age, male mice were subjected to a specific form of intermittent fasting. Their access to food followed a recurring 24-hour pattern: the animals were allowed to feed ad libitum for 24 hours, followed by 24 hours with access to water only. During...

    In fact, the only real scandal here is that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was able to stay for as long as he did.The propaganda press is once again distorting the truth — and in some cases, flat out lying — to discredit and undermine President Donald Trump’s deportation efforts. In the latest example, the media are painting an illegal alien — who is allegedly a gang member — as merely a “Maryland father” with “protected legal status” who was “mistakenly” swept up in a mass deportation.On Monday, The Atlantic’s Nick Miroff wrote that the Trump administration “mistakenly” sent a “Maryland father...

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Amador County Sheriff Gary Redman said public safety is his priority, which is why he’s willing to break state law and contact immigration and customs officials if his department encounters someone in the country illegally. “If I get somebody that comes through my jail facility who has committed a heinous crime, who was a threat to our community and is somehow going to get released prior to any type of court proceedings, does not have a conviction. Then my stance is I’m going to work with ICE, contact ICE,” Redman said. “I’m not going to release them...

    Education Secretary Linda McMahon on Friday told states that their time to spend COVID relief money had suddenly come to an end—canceling extensions the department had previously granted to states to allow schools more time to spend the money on previously planned projects and services.McMahon alerted state education chiefs in a letter dated Friday that the deadline to spend all remaining funds was that same day at 5 p.m. EST.She said the additional time “was not justified” and that states and school districts “have had ample time to liquidate obligations.”Because the department can reconsider its decisions, McMahon wrote in the...
