President Joe Biden is not dropping out of the presidential race after his disastrous debate performance, Biden campaign spokesperson Seth Schuster told the Hill Friday. Pressure is mounting on Biden to step down after Democrat and media hysteria. Biden, who mumbled and sounded raspy, appeared to lose track of his thoughts a few times. Even during his prepared closing statement, Biden did not deliver without error. Sixty-seven percent said Trump won the debate, a CNN flash poll of debate watchers found Thursday. New York Times columnist Tom Friedman, who is Biden’s personal friend, called for him to drop out...

ROME — Pope Francis asserted this week Christians, Jews and Muslims, all worship the one God and are “brothers and sisters.” “Jesus taught us to welcome one another as brothers and sisters,” the pontiff told a delegation from the Bologna Mosque in northern Italy. “And this is true first of all for us, Christians, Jews, and Muslims, who worship the One God.” Members of all three faiths refer to Abraham as “our father in faith,” he said, “albeit in different ways.” “In today’s world, our witness of fraternity is indispensable and very precious,” he added. Sincere and respectful dialogue between...

[O]ne of the issues that helped calm the nerves of ambivalent conservatives and get them to support President Trump, whom they perceived as an insurgent populist with questionable positions on social issues like abortion, was his commitment to selecting judges on a list provided by the Federalist Society. The Federalist Society has long been considered a trusted authority, .... For years it was customary to believe that any judge that had the FedSoc stamp of approval was worthy of an appointment to the federal judiciary. This was because FedSoc was supposed to stand for textualism and originalism, a faithful adherence...

In the case of a former Pennsylvania police officer who entered the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Fischer v. United States, the court holds that to prove a violation of the law, the government must show that the defendant impaired the availability or integrity for use in an official proceeding of records, documents, objects, or other things used in an official proceeding, or attempted to do so. The case is returned to the lower court to determine whether the indictment can still stand in light of this new and narrower interpretation.

Washington — The Supreme Court on Friday ruled in favor of a former Pennsylvania police officer who was charged with obstructing an official proceeding after he entered the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, and narrowed the Justice Department's use of a federal obstruction statute leveled against scores of people who breached the building where Congress had convened to count state electoral votes.The court ruled 6-3 in finding that to prove a violation of the obstruction law, the government must show that the defendant impaired the availability or integrity of records, documents or other objects used in an official...

Most people have heard wild stories about the crazy things that can come to light in people's internet search histories, but are you aware of the humiliating things that might be found in yours? The Babylon Bee has suffered through reading some of the worst internet search histories of all time to bring you 17 of the most embarrassing things that people have ever googled: "stream new episode of the acolyte" — Gross. Just gross. "what is a phillips head screwdriver?" — You might as well search for what it means to be a man. "white sox tickets" —...

The origin of this phrase dates back to the tale of Hans Christian Andersen, titled “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” which was published in 1837, along with The Little Mermaid. The story tells of an exhibitionistic emperor who is obsessed with clothing and fashion. Two swindlers pull a fraud on him by telling him and his court that they will tailor an outfit that can only be seen by the wise. This results in nobody admitting that the emperor is, in fact, naked, up to the very end of the story, when a boy exclaims that “The Emperor Has No Clothes.”...

President Joe Biden, who reportedly will not drop out of the 2024 presidential race, will participate in the second debate in September, a Biden adviser told CNN Friday. ABC News’ David Muir and Linsey Davis will serve as moderators for the September 10 debate. More details of the event, including rules, location, staging, and format, are not yet decided, according to ABC News. Pressure is mounting on Biden to step down as many Democrats and media members display hysteria following a disastrous Thursday debate. Biden mumbled, sounded raspy, and appeared to lose track of his thoughts a few times. Even...

Supreme Court rules 6-3 in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo to overturn Chevron Deference. Judges used this now-overruled Chevron Deference to defer to ATF gun control & rule against the Second Amendment (even when the agency was blatantly wrong)

Rejected and returned to DC Appeals to rerule on a significantly reduced ability to try J6ers for obstruction.

Washington — The Supreme Court on Friday overturned a landmark 40-year-old decision that gave federal agencies broad regulatory power, upending their authority to issue regulations unless Congress has spoken clearly. The court split along ideological lines in the dispute, with Chief Justice John Roberts writing for the conservative majority. Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson were in dissent. Kagan read portions of her dissent from the bench. The court's ruling in a pair of related cases is a significant victory for the conservative legal movement, which has long aimed to unwind or weaken the 1984 decision in...

Joe Biden’s halting debate performance against President Trump last night was a shock and a surprise to a large number of ordinary Americans who just woke up from a coma. As for we unlucky non-coma victims, who’ve had to sit through the entire show, we knew this day was coming sooner or later. NBC ran its version of the Titanic-sized disaster story under the bizarre —but truthful— headline, “'Babbling' and 'hoarse': Biden's debate performance sends Democrats into a panic.” Instead of delivering Dark Brandon, the Democrats served up Murky Mr. Magoo. Haha! But don’t get the wrong idea. The debate...

Citizen Free Press @CitizenFreePres BREAKING Biden campaign says Joe will not drop out of 2024 race. He is committed to losing the second debate to Trump in September.

“This version of Biden is the best ever”

In recent weeks, the media had taken to claiming that suggestions that Biden was old, confused and out of it were ‘cheapfakes’ and election misinformation. In the first 10 minutes of the debate, Biden destroyed the ‘cheapfake’ lie by being undeniably old, confused and out of it. What went down was more than Biden’s reputation but the entire media narrative. After nearly a decade of the media telling the public that its common sense observations were misinformation and disinformation to be remedied with media fact checks, everyone could see that it was the media that had been lying. And the...

At this point it's generally agreed in all but the most loyal of Biden superfan circles that the president lost Thursday night's debate, and badly. Let’s say it right now: Donald Trump might have won the 2024 election tonight. You’d think President Joe Biden would have at least a good performance for one-third or even two-thirds of the debate. That never happened. Biden was incapable of delivering cogent and coherent remarks about the cornerstones of his presidency. He was incapable of defending what little legislative wins he clinched during his first term and was lost trying to pivot and deflect...

The New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman wrote in a special column following the recent Presidential debate that it had been painful to watch. "Joe Biden is a good man and a good President. He must bow out of the race," Friedman wrote in the headline of his column. He recounted: "I watched the Biden-Trump debate alone in a Lisbon hotel room, and it made me weep. I cannot remember a more heartbreaking moment in American presidential campaign politics in my lifetime — precisely because of what it revealed: Joe Biden, a good man and a good president, has no...

Found this on Twitter while perusing the material generated by last night's debate.This is gettin' real y'all.

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. warned Friday that President Biden's poor showing at Thursday night's CNN Presidential Debate calls into question who's really running the country. "He does not seem to be the person who's making the decisions in the White House," RFK Jr. told Lawrence Jones on "Fox & Friends" Friday. "I think our government is being run by anonymous men in lanyards, and it's scary." Biden's performance against former President Trump in the first debate of the 2024 election cycle in Atlanta sent shockwaves across the Democratic Party as voters grow increasingly concerned about Biden's fitness for...

WRENTHAM — A local resident has filed a lawsuit against the Canton police chief seeking more than $200,000 for a pedestrian accident last February in which he was struck by the chief’s SUV in a crosswalk. Michael C. Barry, who was 67 at the time, is seeking $211,400 to cover current and future medical expenses related to the Feb. 16 accident involving Canton Police Chief Helena Rafferty, according to the lawsuit filed last week in Dedham Superior Court. In a statement made in April after blogger Aidan Kearney broke news of the accident, Rafferty admitted to hitting Barry while off...
