President Biden’s debate debacle has giddy New York and New Jersey GOP leaders believing former President Donald Trump could be the first Republican to win their states in four decades. Even if carrying the blue states is a longshot, party insiders and independent analysts expect Trump will do strongly enough in the suburbs that he can help Republican House incumbents defend seats they won in 2022 – and maybe even make gains. “Trump can win New York just like Ronald Reagan did in 1980,” said New York State Republican Party chairman Ed Cox. A recent Siena College poll had Trump...

For those who don’t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week’s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed. From the moment he took the stage at Thursday night’s debate, it was clear that President Joe Biden was not going to live up to his party’s — and the media’s — repeated promises that he was “sharp and commanding” and showed no signs of “mental feebleness.” Instead, a visibly confused Biden stood onstage,...

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - The massive organized crime indictment of Donald Trump and 13 other GOP co-defendants in Georgia will be impacted by Monday’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling on whether the former president is immune from prosecution for his alleged role in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot. The decision, according to CBS News, will impact special counsel Jack Smith’s case against Trump in Washington, D.C., where the former president has pleaded not guilty to the four charges he is facing. But a ruling could also have consequences for two other cases involving Trump. One, also brought...

Oh, and since Biden could have inadvertently DESTROYED the Morning Joe marriage perhaps he might feel obligated to help bring them back together by calling on the advice of the smartest person he knows. Namely Hunter Biden who could give Mika and Morning Joe emergency marriage counseling. Wouldn't everybody appreciate Hunter Biden providing such a service due to his vast knowledge of broken marriages and relationships? If there is indeed a CRACK in the Morning Joe Marriage, that is something Hunter Biden would definitely be interested in smoking out.age.html">VIDEO

Israel released 55 Palestinian prisoners Monday, including the director of Gaza’s al-Shifa Hospital who alleged that he was abused during his eight-month detention. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, who was detained by Israeli forces while escorting patients with the backing of the United Nations from the hospital during Israel’s initial raid of al-Shifa in November, said he was held without ever being charged and that prisoners were only given one loaf of bread a day. Salmiya also said he and other prisoners faced “severe” and daily torture by Israeli medical staff. “Many detainees are still left behind in very poor health and...

Former President Trump leads President Joe Biden by six points in the probability of winning the popular vote in November, Nate Silver’s election model forecasted June 30 after the first presidential debate. The last Republican to win the popular vote was George W. Bush in 2004 with 50.73 percent. Silver’s election model’s forecast is the first time it predicted Trump would defeat Biden with the popular vote. Trump was previously behind by two points one day before the debate, the forecast predicted.

The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision along ideological lines, ruled that a former president has absolutely immunity for his core constitutional powers– and is entitled to a presumption of immunity for his official acts, but lack immunity for unofficial acts. . But at the same time, the court sent the case back to the trial judge to determine which, if any of Trump actions, were part of his official duties and thus were protected from prosecution. That part of the court’s decision likely ensures that the case against Trump won’t be tried before the election, and then only...

In Corner Post, Inc. v. Board of Governors, the court holds that a claim under the Administrative Procedure Act to challenge an agency action first comes into being when the plaintiff is injured by final agency action. The court vacates both decisions on Texas and Florida’s social media laws, in Moody v. NetChoice, LLC and NetChoice v. Paxton, explaining that neither of the lower courts properly considered the nature of the First Amendment challenges. In Trump v. United States, the court holds that a former president has absolute immunity for his core constitutional powers.

Joe Biden’s abysmal debate performance has revived talk about the possibility that Democrats will replace him on the ticket. The common refrain among every fake media head, from CNN to MSNBC, was that high-level Democrats are in full-on panic. Given moments like the following, we can fully understand why: This was the moment the debate ended. Biden: "Making sure we make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with covid, excuse me, with umm dealing with everything we had to deal with. Look, we finally beat medicare." While the left is panicking, many on the...

The Supreme Court ruled Monday in Trump v. United States that a former president has substantial immunity from prosecution for official acts committed while in office, but not for unofficial acts.The Court sent the matter back down to a lower court, as the justices did not apply the ruling to whether or not former President Trump is immune from prosecution regarding actions related to efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Bill O’Reilly said definitively that Joe Biden is “done.” He claims the White House doesn’t know how or when to make the announcement. Bill also said that internal polling shows that he cannot win. He wrote something on his site, but he didn’t provide evidence. It seems to be something he heard through his sources. Then he said something that greatly annoys me. James Buchanan was the worst president, and Biden was the second worst. “The cowardly James Buchanan is the worst president in American history for helping the South build rebellion before the Civil War,” O’Reilly said. “But Joe...

CHICAGO (WLS) -- At least 35 people have been shot, four fatally, in gun violence across Chicago so far this weekend, police said. A concealed-carry license holder shot and critically injured a man during a shootout on Chicago's South Side early Saturday morning, police said. Police said the shooting happened in the Englewood neighborhood's 200-block of West 63rd Street at about 1:40 a.m. Two men, 36 and 49 years old, were arguing at a gas station when the 36-year-old got a gun out of his vehicle and fired at the 49-year-old, police said. The 49-year-old, a CCL holder, returned fire...

Ukraine’s security service said on Monday that it had foiled yet another Russian plot to stir public unrest and then use the ensuing turmoil to topple the government, outlining a familiar tactic that Kyiv claims has been employed in string of coup attempts in recent years. The Ukrainian domestic intelligence agency, the S.B.U., said that it had discovered a “group” of conspirators it accused of planning to spark a riot, seize the Parliament building and replace the nation’s military and civilian leadership. Four people have been arrested and charged, according to the authorities. While offering little detail on how such...

It is one of the strengths of our American culture that we know how to make everything bigger and better. It is one of the weaknesses of the American church that we apply this same mentality to our pastors and leaders. We know how to turn servants into superstars!

A massive political, PR and personal campaign is underway to reject calls for President Biden to drop his re-election race — and rally Democrats to move on from public debate about age and his future, top officials tell us. Why it matters: Biden has zero interest in stepping aside — and First Lady Jill Biden and key family members and friends agree, according to people who talk regularly with them. The intrigue: Biden, who has ducked tough interviews and avoided no-holds-barred press conferences, is now considering both. Look for a town hall or big one-on-one interview this month. The latest:...

By virtually all accounts, Joe Biden's debate performance was disaster. At first the left was in denial and eventually shifted to "it was a just a bad night." The family gathered together at Camp David for a summit to determine Biden's future course. It was speculated that the family might be trying to talk Biden into stepping down, but apparently that was inaccurate. It was reported that they were rather displeased at some advisers. Members of Joe Biden’s family privately trashed his top campaign advisers at Camp David this weekend, blaming them for the president’s flop in Thursday’s debate and...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The only three Republican women in the South Carolina Senate took on their party and stopped a total abortion ban from passing in their state last year. In return, they lost their jobs. Voters removed Sens. Sandy Senn, Penry Gustafson and Katrina Shealy from office during sparsely turned out primaries in June, and by doing so completely vacated the Republican wing of the five-member “Sister Senators," a female contingent that included two Democrats and was joined in their opposition to the abortion ban....... “Women, somebody else is going to have to stand up. Somebody else is...
