CNN — President Joe Biden’s family remains “all in” on him remaining in the 2024 race even as questions swirl about the future of his candidacy, a source familiar with the family’s thinking said. “There is no change,” the source said. “The first lady is all in. The family’s all in.” First lady Jill Biden, the president’s closest confidant, was on the road in the battleground state of Michigan ahead of a Wednesday evening return.

Sonia Sotomayor is the John (Reporting for Duty) Kerry of Supreme Court Justices. Kerry and Sotomayor both think the military is full of morally bankrupt, uneducated dunderheads. The military is comprised of a bunch of unthinking automatons who know how to make guns go pew pew and blindly follow orders. Blame Barack Obama.Barack Obama nominated Sotomayor to the Supreme Court in 2009 by Obama. A remark the judge made about a “Wise Latina” became widely known and a point of contention during the Confirmation Hearings:“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more...

In a new video leaked Thursday on social media, former US President Donald Trump is seen cursing US President Joe Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump is seen in the footage in a golf cart next to his son Barron, saying: "How did I do with the debate the other night against that that old broken down pile of c---?" "He's a bad guy. He just quit you know, he's quitting. I got him out of the race," Trump boasted. "That means we have Kamala. I think she's going to be even better. She's so bad, she's so...

President Biden was in New York Friday for the grand opening of the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center on the 55th anniversary of the historic riots that birthed America’s gay rights movement. The 81-year-old, still licking his wounds after his abysmal performance during Thursday’s presidential debate with Donald Trump sent shockwaves across the country, was joined by Gov. Kathy Hochul and legendary musician Elton John at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village. The 1969 Stonewall Riots “marked a turning point for civil rights in America and inspired the hearts of millions of people around the world,” Biden said, adding that...

Challengers to federal rules covering a range of industries including mining and farming got a fresh shot on Tuesday at rolling back regulations as the U.S. Supreme Court applied a new standard for reviewing the power of federal agencies. Nine lower-court rulings were vacated by the Supreme Court and sent back to be reconsidered in light of Friday's decision reversing the decades-old Chevron doctrine that said judges should defer to agencies to interpret laws they administer. The cases were the first of what is expected to be a wave of rulings reassessing the power of federal regulators, who make rules...

@Nigel Farage: “I was asked the other day, what was I going to do for the black community. Do you know what I said? Nothing, absolutely nothing. I couldn’t give a damn if you’re black or white, gay or straight. I really don’t care. You’ll be judged by your character, by your ability by your contribution to society”

The lackluster, to say the least, media coverage of the Sunday Ticket trial against the NFL has included one specific effort to downplay the ultimate liability, by omission.The league’s loss has been widely characterized as $4.696 billion. It’s not. It’s $14.088 billion.The moment the judgment is entered, the amount will be tripled, given the longstanding and indisputable requirements of antitrust law. Thus, unless the judge throws the case out (and he still could), $4.696 billion will become $14.088 billion.The NFL could still win on appeal. Regardless, the worst-case scenario isn’t nearly $4.7 billion. It’s more than $14 billion, along with...

Imagine that Congress passes a statute authorizing the Environmental Protection Agency to require permits whenever material alterations are made to a “major stationary source” of air pollution (or new ones are created). So far, so good. Now imagine that a power plant near your home has three smokestacks. Does that count as one “major stationary source” or three? And what makes a stationary source “major”? Beyond these substantive questions is a procedural one: Who should resolve these matters? Unelected federal judges, who may have no particular expertise in environmental law, or the federal agency staffed with scientific and policy experts...

Audrey, a documentary by 26-year-old British film-maker Helena Coan, comes from the producers of the Bafta-nominated McQueen, about the life of fashion designer Alexander McQueen, and is packed with revelations about one of the most enduring of all Hollywood’s stars. Throughout her career, Hepburn came to be seen as the epitome of elegance and grace. Born into European nobility in 1929 but devastated by the impact of the second world war as a child in the Netherlands, Hepburn kept a tight lid on her personal problems until her death in 1993 from cancer. Coan, who spent three years researching her...

"But we were born out of a protest." Another video shows anti-Israel protesters vandalizing floats and...

President Biden's interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos will now air a primetime special on Friday. The shift from the previously announced Sunday morning time slot reflects the urgency of the situation Biden faces growing pressure from some Democrats to abandon his re-election bid in the wake of his lackluster debate performance. "This story is of national interest, so we are making it a primetime" special to air Friday, the same day the interview is taking place, a network source said. The first clip of Biden's interview will air on "World News Tonight with David Muir" Friday evening and then...

California Democratic delegate Areva Martin told media personality Stephen A. Smith that passing over Vice President Kamala Harris as President Biden's replacement should he withdraw from the race would destroy the party. "If you pick a White man over Kamala Harris, Black women, I can tell you this, we are going to walk away," Martin said Tuesday. "We are going to blow the party up." As speculation over Biden's status as leader of the party grows, Democrats are openly divided over who is qualified to run against former President Trump in the months before the election. "Who are we agreeing...

It’s no secret that the vast majority of the so-called elites are advocates of climate alarmism and are taken in by the Green New Scam.Whether this preference is based on ignorance of the science, ideological zeal, a willful desire to hurt American growth or simple greed because of their investments in Green New Scam infrastructure varies case by case.The typical upper-income supporter of the climate cult including academics, media figures and celebrities is probably ignorant of the fact that there is no evidence that CO2 emissions cause climate change and that the real causes are solar cycles, volcanoes, ocean currents...
