Biden echoed that claim, citing a letter by over 50 former intelligence officials. But as Breitbart News noted earlier this week, those officials admitted they had no actual evidence of “Russian disinformation,” and they allowed that the emails might in fact be “genuine.”

I know, I know, it is a morbid question. Presidential candidates Trump and Biden are the oldest modern presidential candidates we’ve seen since Ronald Reagan ran for his second term. Donald Trump will be 78 on Inauguration Day 2025 and Joe Biden will have just turned 82. And even though my colleague Bill Galston and I have written about the fact that both men are most likely what the scientists call “superagers” and not at all likely to die or become incapacitated any time soon – the question is being asked by lots of people.

Berlin – In den letzten Sommerbädern beginnt trotz Regenwetter nach und nach auch die Badesaison: Am Samstag öffnen etwa das Sommerbad Staaken West und das Kindersommerbad Monbijou. Die bekannten Problem-Bäder haben derweil mit Stacheldraht und höheren Zäunen aufgerüstet! Innensenat und Bäderbetriebe machten jetzt ihre kürzlichen Versprechungen wahr, für mehr Sicherheit in den Bädern zu sorgen. Doch der Ort, an dem eigentlich ausgelassener Badespaß herrschen sollte, gleicht jetzt einem Gefängnis. In Berlin notwendig! Denn in den vergangenen Sommern eskalierte die Lage in den Berliner Freibädern immer wieder. Massenschlägereien, sexuelle Belästigung, Attacken auf Sicherheitsmitarbeiter und Bademeister!

President Biden’s cognitive decline is readily apparent and a concern for dozens who have interacted with the 81-year-old commander-in-chief in recent months, according to a shocking report Tuesday. Some of the more the 45 Republican and Democratic lawmakers and staffers interviewed by the Wall Street Journal described a president who spoke so softly during meetings that participants struggled to understand him, others noted that Biden’s demeanor and grasp of policy details varied by the day and he frequently relied on notes and deferred to aides during conferences.

As a vocal advocate of vaccinations for public health, Peter Hotez was no stranger to online harassment and threats. But then the abuse showed up on his doorstep. It was a Sunday during a brutal Texas heatwave in June 2023 when a man turned up at Hotez’s home, filming himself as he shouted questions at the scientist, who is a paediatrician and virologist at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. Because of the long-running online and real-life abuse he has faced, Hotez now has the Texas Medical Center Police, Houston Police Department and Harris County Sheriff’s Office on speed...

We have been following the “Fearless Fund” case out of Atlanta since a Georgia federal district (trial-level) court judge ruled, bizarrely, that racial discrimination can be “protected speech” under the First Amendment and, therefore, constitutional.The case concerned a hedge fund that provided small business grants in the form of a contest, as long as you were a Black woman; others need not apply. The Plaintiffs argued that a federal statute, 42 U.S.C. § 1981, which has prohibited racial discrimination in contracting since 1866, was violated by Defendants’ racially discriminatory grant contest: Georgia Federal Judge Rules Racially Discriminatory Contracting Is “Speech...

Caitlin Clark is being bullied and Clay Travis believes it exemplifies the adversity of being a white heterosexual woman in the WNBA. Clark has been on the receiving end of some hard fouls and dirty plays since joining the WNBA. A rookie basketball player coming into the league with immense popularity only to be tested and put through the wringer by their opponents is not a new concept. But when that rookie basketball player is white and most of their opponents are Black, it invites discussions about race. Monday night, Sean Hannity weighed in on the discourse around Clark, inviting...

[Catholic Caucus] Gays in the seminary, pope eats his wordsAfter the remark on ‘faggotry’ in the priesthood, a sensational turn by Pope Francis: he encourages an aspiring gay seminarian not to give up. An inconceivable contradiction, which turns into a victory for the LGBT lobby.By now it can't even be called a surprise. After the uproar caused by the remark about the ‘atmosphere of faggotry’ in seminaries and among priests, obviously, the gay lobby could not sit idly by. So first a BBC report broke on a young Sicilian gay man who claims he was subjected to reparative therapies resembling...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas responded to concerns that the exemption for unaccompanied children in President Joe Biden’s immigration executive action will result in cartels taking advantage of that by stating that “We are taking it to the cartels.” Host Neil Cavuto asked, [relevant exchange begins around 6:05] “[T]here are a number of exemptions for this, including unaccompanied children. And isn’t that a green light for drug cartels to take advantage of that, and the whole purpose of this sort of blows up in your face?”

During an interview with TIME magazine, Biden was informed that “large majorities of Americans,” including Democrats, are concerned about his age and ability to serve another term as president.

Good evening Freepers. I got a question that I would love to find an answer to. My father was a Korean War veteran. He served back in the 1940/50's. I have copies of two discharge forms, one is dated 1948 - 1953, the second one dated 1953 - 1956. The first one is an honorable discharge, but the second one is a dishonorable discharge. I am confused as to how or why two 214's can be issued like that. I am also looking for an avenue to try and get the dishonorable one thrown out. Unfortunately the fire that took...

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump on Tuesday asked a New York judge to lift the gag order imposed on him in the criminal hush money case, citing his opponent, President Joe Biden‘s 2024 election campaign gloating over his guilty verdict. Trump has been under a gag order since April that bars him from making comments about the jury that presided over the weekslong trial as well as specific witnesses in the case, family members of prosecutors, and the daughter of presiding Judge Juan Merchan. His defense lawyers pointed to specific moments last week in which the Biden campaign used...
