WASHINGTON — Donald Trump made history in 2016 when, as a presidential candidate, he issued an initial list of 11 people he would use as a "guide" for potential Supreme Court nominees, to allay concerns he would not choose conservative judges. He added to those lists while president, which included his three high court candidates: Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. He was the first major presidential candidate to telegraph his political strategy so clearly on a tea-leaves topic that is fraught with uncertainty. Sources close to the presumptive GOP nominee say he again plans to...

'Do not write me a letter in prison. I don't want you taking time to write a letter. I want you to get to work. This is all about victory.'

As of last month, the global Muslim population achieved a remarkable milestone with over 2 billion adherents. This achievement bears great significance for both Arabs and Arab Americans. By exemplifying the expansion and impact of Islam and its cultural significance on a global scale. Approximately one-fourth of the world’s population consists of Muslims. As their numbers continue to rise, there is a greater acknowledgment and acceptance of Islam and its followers. This potentially fosters understanding and collaboration among diverse religious groups and ethnically diverse demographics. The Muslim population is rapidly growing due to Islam’s status as the world’s fastest-growing religion....

Alzheimer disease is a brain disorder that causes memory loss, confusion, and changes in personality, and gradual loss of independence. It is a type the most common type of dementia. At first, people with this disease have only a small amount of memory loss and confusion. This is called cognitive decline. But over time, these symptoms get more severe. The disease progresses through 3 main stages of symptoms. In the final stage, people with Alzheimer disease may be unable to talk with family members or know what is going on around them. This disease can’t be cured. Healthcare providers and...

Mark Twain said: “There are lies, damned lies and statistics.” Nowhere is this truer than with the statistics the Biden/Garland Department of Justice inflicts on us. Were we to believe what Joe Biden said during the recent debate, the Trump years represented an all-time high of violent crime, but under his enlightened leadership, violent crime has dramatically declined. The FBI/DOJ, and of course the Democrat/socialist/communist (D/s/c) media all say the same. They’re also telling us we have the best economy ever, inflation isn’t bad at all and the border is secure. As Twain said: statistics. The idea crime is under...

President Biden is still committed to a second debate against Donald Trump despite his abysmal showing on Thursday night. Biden, 81, will return to the debate stage in September, CNN senior White House correspondent Kayla Tausche reported Friday morning, citing an adviser. Biden is also not considering dropping out of the race — despite concerns from members of his own party.

New: Inside the White House, there are sometimes two Biden’s. America saw the other one Thursday night. My look inside the WH and why Thursday left some Biden aides shaken and worried whether Biden can do another four-year term. From 10am to 4pm, Biden is dependably engaged — and many of his public events in front of cameras are held within those hours. Outside of that time range or while traveling abroad, the other Biden is more likely to emerge and have verbal miscues and become fatigued, aides say.

VIDEOBob Woodward was in a state of SHOCK over how horrible Joe Biden's debate performance was. "A political hydrogen bomb," he called it. You just know he would have also called it WORSE THAN WATERGATE if Carl Bernstein had not already beaten that phrase to death. Okay, if he didn't actually say it out loud he was definitely thinking it. Oh, and getting hit with a hydrogen bomb is definitely WORSE THAN WATERGATE.

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, June 28. To Major-Gen. Dix: A dispatch from Lieut. Gen. GRANT, dated yesterday, the 27th, at 3.30 P. M., at his headquarters, reports no operations in front except from our own guns, which fire into the bridge at Petersburgh from a distance of two thousand yards, The dispatch gives the following intelligence from rebel papers. A Petersburgh paper of the 25th inst. states that Gen. HUNTER is striking for Jackson River depot, about forty miles north of Salem, and says that if he reaches Covington, which they suppose he will do with most of his forces, but with...

President Biden likely suffers from a “cognitive disease” and should not only drop out of the presidential race but resign immediately, according to the former White House physician and current Republican Congressman who served former Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump. “This is a national security issue,” Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson told The Post after Biden’s disastrous debate performance. “As an American, I think he needs to step down and he needs to be immediately removed from office.” Before entering politics, Jackson served as Obama’s personal physician between 2013 and 2016. He served as Trump’s between 2016 and 2018. Trump...

The first astronauts to fly Boeing's troubled Starliner are definitely not "stranded" at the International Space Station, NASA insisted Friday despite having no clear timeframe for bringing them home. In an unusually defensive press call, officials attempted to put a positive spin on where things currently stood after weeks of negative headlines due to the spaceship's delayed return. Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams blasted off on June 5 following years of delays and safety scares affecting Starliner, as well as two aborted launch attempts that came as astronauts were strapped in and ready to go. They docked the following...

Like mafiosos, or the old gray men of the Kremlin trying to figure out how to get rid of Leonid Brezhnev or Konstantin Chernenko, Democrat power players have called in Joe Biden for a sitdown.Dougie Kass, a hedge fund shark who leads Seabreeze Capital Partners of Palm Beach, Florida, reports the dirt: What I am hearing regarding Joe Biden. Ron Klain and Barack Obama are having a sit down with the President today. Jill Biden is insistent that Joe runs. Kamala is furious that she is not being considered as a replacement (Whitmer and Newsom are). Interestingly my neighbor in…...

160. Aug. 15, 2017 This is another belated add. On Aug. 15, 2017, at a news conference, President Trump gave an initial response to protests in Charlottesville, Va. The media falsely reported that Trump referred to Nazis and white supremacists as “very fine people.” In fact, Trump explicitly, repeatedly condemned any white supremacists. He stated, for example, “we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America.” Trump also stated, “I’ve condemned neo-Nazis. I’ve condemned many different groups. But not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not...

A nasty-sounding Democrat lawmaker from Ohio got into it with a stranger Friday who’d dared to ask her a tough question about President Joe Biden. Video footage recorded by the man shows him peppering Ohio Rep. Marcy Kaptur with questions about President Biden as the two walked through the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport. Watch the footage below via Fox News: “Excuse me, congresswoman, should Joe Biden step down?” the man asks Kaptur at the beginning of the clip above. The congresswoman, 78, ignores him and continues ahead through an escalator, prompting the man to repeat his question. The man...

Donald Trump told lies and mangled his sentences in a presidential debate that was like a reality show, according to international media. The verdicts of pundits from around the globe to Thursday night’s televised clash in Atlanta, Georgia, between the two White House rivals was damning. From Beijing to New Delhi and beyond, the reviews were most scathing of President Biden’s performance at the CNN forum, but his Republican challenger did not escape criticism. Russian media brand Biden 'total failure' Even before last night's debate, the main evening news shows on Russian TV on Thursday were speculating that Mr Biden...

On June 24, 2024, a crowd of protesters gathered in front of Culver City High School’s Robert Frost Auditorium in Culver City, California when Anthony Fauci made an appearance to promote his new book “On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service.” The protesters accused the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of mismanagement, malpractice and corruption, among other things.

Germany on Friday condemned Israel’s move to regulate five communities in Judea and Samaria, part of a package of measures approved by the Cabinet in response to the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) steps against Israel. “The federal government clearly condemns the so-called legalization of Israeli outposts and the approval of new housing. Israel's policy of building settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories constitutes a serious violation of international law and undermines efforts to achieve a two-state solution,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Sebastian Fischer said at a news conference in Berlin, according to the Anadolu news agency. “The expansion of settlements endangers the...

There was chaos inside the White House on Friday as Democrat party operatives, long-time aides, and party donors came to terms with their candidate and boss spectacularly flopping in his disastrous debate with Donald Trump. A sense of foreboding set in among some Biden acolytes as they absorbed his car crash performance that has veterans of the Obama and Bill Clinton campaigns openly mulling whether he should be replaced. ‘Right now the people are all talking to each other,’ Bill Clinton guru James Carville told DailyMail.com. ‘Trust me it’s way more than the consultant class. And particularly the donor class,’...

Federal immigration authorities previously released two illegal immigrants who are now accused of killing a 12-year-old Houston girl — but a congressional report says there were plenty of detention beds available to keep in custody. The Houston Police Department last week arrested Franklin Joe Pena Ramos, 26, and Johan Jose Martinez Rangel, 22, both Venezuelan nationals, for the strangulation killing of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, several days after her body was found in a local creek. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that both men were released into the country on the same day they unlawfully crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, but...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” former MSNBC host Chris Matthews stated that he believes President Joe Biden “thinks things are going on in this administration he doesn’t know about, that’s his problem. He’s not sure what isn’t true.” And therefore, can’t call out 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump effectively. After host Bill Maher said that Trump makes things up, Matthews stated, “Or he does it in a way that our President couldn’t catch him on it. He said last night, twice, that Social Security and Medicare are going to people in the country illegally, they...
