NEW YORK — “So, let’s talk about last night’s debate, because I know it’s on your minds,” Jill Biden said. The living room of the Greenwich Village brownstone fell silent. The first lady, poised in a polka dot dress and a pair of pink stilettos, stood behind a lectern, her lips spread into a half-smile. The nearly 60 attendees at that afternoon’s fundraiser, gripping the melted remnants of their Aperol Spritzes, stared back at her.

White House aides reportedly confirmed that President Joe Biden is exhibiting a common symptom of dementia, according to Axios. When Biden and former President Donald Trump met on the debate stage, the current president became the focus of the Thursday forum as he looked confused, appeared to freeze up and stumble through answers. Amid the calls for the 81-year-old to drop out of the race, the Biden campaign and the president have worked to dispel concerns and downplay the performance as a rough night. Despite the damage control, sources told Axios that the president is “dependably engaged” between the hours...

The campaign previously said the single best hour of fundraising came immediately after Biden's debate against Trump The re-election campaign for President Biden says it has raised a whopping $27 million since his rocky debate performance against former President Trump. From the day of the debate through Friday evening, the Biden-Harris campaign told Fox News that it had raised $27 million. The updated figure comes after the campaign said on Friday that it raised $14 million in "a sign of strength of our grassroots support" on debate day and the morning after. The campaign also noted Friday that 11 p.m....

"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." "For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: "(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord." Matthew 6 1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2...

12 of the 14 undecided voters in @FrankLuntz focus group swung to President Trump after the debate. This speaks to how masterfully President Trump performed and to just how abysmal Joe Biden's performance was, with regular Americans.

The Pope is NOT an Absolute Monarch! Catholics Must Understand the Limits of Episcopal Authority!People tend to think of the pope as the head of a large company with the ultimate power to make all the decisions and impose them on his underlings beginning with the heads of the various departments. They can express their opinions to him, but he is the ultimate authority and if they disagree they can obey anyway or "off with their heads!"That is not a proper image for the Catholic Church.The pope is not a dictator with the ultimate power to throw out bishops on...

Today, on June 28th, 2024, a significant event occurred in my life that I will always remember. My name is Ryan Samsel, and last night, I witnessed Donald J. Trump’s victory over Joe Biden. As always, I said my nightly prayer and woke up feeling a sense of goodness that I can’t quite explain. Then, someone informed me that the Supreme Court overturned the 1512(c) charges. I was in a state of shock and disbelief, unable to fully comprehend the news. Let me begin by sharing that I have endured immense suffering and hardships throughout this entire ordeal since January...

Joe Biden is only fully functional from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to a report by Axios published Saturday in the wake of Biden’s disastrous not-ready-for-primetime debate with President Trump Thursday night. The report states White House staff know there are ‘two Bidens’: One who is fully engaged for about six hours a day and the one Americans (and the world) saw staring into space and struggling to articulate lucid, complete thoughts during the debate Thursday night.

The flood of illegal immigrants is starting to take effect on the crime situation. It's already bad with our homegrown bunch reared with little or no values, but now we have to deal with thousands out of the millions of illegal immigrants who not only have no values, they have been TAUGHT FROM THEIR YOUTH how to steal from and defraud others. A Spanish-speaking customer who just now stopped by told me he took another hard-working Hispanic friend from Austin to Houston to buy a 2023 Tacoma 4WD TRD pickup from an Hispanic. He made several mistakes, but that is...

The first presidential debate of 2024 left many Americans and even some traditional Democratic allies wondering about President Biden’s mental fitness for office based on what appeared to be his unclear train of thought at times and his raspy voice on Thursday night. The White House responded to these concerns, claiming that the president, who is 81, was fighting a cold, but some doctors said they perceive the health issues go beyond the sniffles. Dr. Brett Osborn, a Florida neurosurgeon who specializes in cognitive function, told Fox News Digital on Friday about his concerns. "President Biden's performance in [Thursday] night’s...

A house mistakenly built on the wrong plot of land in Hawaii is set to be knocked down after a developer got it confused with the neighboring lot. A judge ordered the construction company that made the mistake to foot the bill for the demolition. Annaleine "Anne" Reynolds bought the one-acre plot of land in Hawaiian Paradise Park on Hawaii's Big Island for $22,500 at a tax auction in 2018. Reynolds, who lives in California, previously told Business Insider she had planned to use the land for a home for her children as well as to host women's retreats, but...

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Biden Campaign Co-Chair Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) stated that “there were some issues that should have been addressed” with the Afghanistan withdrawal, but the fact that 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump has been strongly critiqued by his own vice president and secretary of Defense “is far more alarming than what internal policy decisions Joe Biden made to discipline or not discipline folks” over the withdrawal.

Katherine Watt has been corresponding with a reader who is researching the history of US public health and regulatory agencies. Records before 1973 are difficult to locate. However, what has become clear is that the origins of these agencies are not what they make them out to be.Why are they lying about their origins? Because, Watt says, “they have maintained a bunch of empty office buildings that serve only as mailing addresses … There are no technicians in the buildings, there’s no equipment and no sample testing occurs.”Katherine Watt is a mom, Catholic, and paralegal from Pennsylvania, USA. On her...

Explanation: Rising opposite the setting Sun, June's Full Moon occurred within about 28 hours of the solstice. The Moon stays close to the Sun's path along the ecliptic plane and so while the solstice Sun climbed high in daytime skies, June's Full Moon remained low that night as seen from northern latitudes. In fact, the Full Moon hugs the horizon in this June 21 rooftop night sky view from Bursa, Turkey, constructed from exposures made every 10 minutes between moonrise and moonset. In 2024 the Moon also reached a major lunar standstill, an extreme in the monthly north-south range of...

President Biden was pictured stepping off Marine One in the Hamptons Saturday afternoon while clutching wife Jill Biden’s arm — just two days after he made a frail showing at his first 2024 debate against Donald Trump. Biden, 81, and the first lady put up a united front at Francis S. Gabreski Airport in Westhampton Beach, down to their coordinating blue-hued ensembles. The couple is set to appear at a star-studded fundraiser at the home of hedge-fund billionaire Barry Rosenstein and his wife Lizanne.

All of a sudden, the US Air Force is considering cancelling a multibillion-dollar effort to develop a new stealth fighter. Citing the high cost of the so-called “Next-Generation Air Dominance” programme and the competing demands of other projects, USAF leaders have warned they may have no choice but to cancel NGAD – and find other ways of winning control of the air in future wars. It’s a startling development for advocates of American air power. For generations, the whole US military – not to mention the militaries of America’s closest allies – have depended on the US Air Force to...
