BBC radio presenter David Aaronovitch urged US President Joe Biden to "hurry up" and have former President Donald Trump "murdered" in a post to X on Monday in response to the United States Supreme Court ruling that a sitting president has criminal immunity for official acts.

Jared Golden represents Maine’s Second Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.After the first presidential debate, lots of Democrats are panicking about whether President Joe Biden should step down as the party’s nominee. Biden’s poor performance in the debate was not a surprise. It also didn’t rattle me as it has others, because the outcome of this election has been clear to me for months: While I don’t plan to vote for him, Donald Trump is going to win. And I’m OK with that. (snip) Congress will need to stand up to economic elites and so-called experts in both...

The Paris Olympic village will be fitted with 2,500 temporary cooling units when athletes arrive later this month, organisers said Tuesday, in a blow to the event's eco-friendly credentials. The organising committee had initially announced they would steer clear of air conditioning in the athletes' accommodation, instead using a geothermal cooling system. The complex in a northern suburb of Paris was built as a showcase of environmentally friendly technology and has a geothermal cooling system that uses cool water pumped from deep beneath the ground. But the lack of air-conditioning has long worried some national Olympic teams, with athletes concerned...

KEY POINTS * Although the unemployment rate is just 4%, there is a growing share of young adults not working. * “NEETS” are opting out of the labor force by choice. * Others, referred to as “new unemployables,” are struggling to find employment despite their best efforts. =================================================================== Although the unemployment rate has spent 30 months at or below below 4% — a near record — not everyone who wants a job has one. And not everyone even wants a job at all. Some, referred to as “NEETs,” which stands for “not in employment, education, or training,” are opting out...

Journalist and former MK Yinon Magal has noted that the incitement against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is significantly worse than the incitement that there had been against former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin two decades ago. Rabin was later assassinated, and the individual suspected of assassinating him, and charged with the crime, is still in prison. Speaking to 103FM Radio, Magal said, "There has been a change here in recent weeks, in the insane incitement campaign against the Prime Minister. It is absolutely insane. What there was against Rabin is not even one-sixtieth of what is happening here -...

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Blockbuster Supreme Court decisions, like overturning Roe v. Wade, and Monday's ruling on presidential immunity, have some questioning the state of the nation's highest court. Recent action by the justices is setting off new conversations about Supreme Court reform. "I think one of the things we see in the Trump vs. U.S. is that the court is really inserting themselves into the midst of this highly politicized issue," said Alison LaCroix, a University of Chicago law professor. Monday's decision allowing presidents to operate above the law left many constitutional law experts scratching their heads. "I don't remember...

Missouri GOP Attorney General Andrew Bailey is sued the New York government on the argument the state's "lawfare" during Donald Trump's hush money trial violated Missourians’ First Amendment rights. His lawsuit argues that the prosecution of Trump, along with the gag orders imposed on him, muzzled the former president while he campaigned for 2024 reeection and damaged Missourians' right to hear him speak freely ahead of Election Day.

Poor Ankush Khardori. The Trump-despising Politico senior writer is not taking the July 1 Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity well. Keep in mind that Khardori is the self-confessed charter member of the anti-Trump legal echo chamber who gushed over Nancy Pelosi describing the Trump indictments with such loving words as "exquisite" as well as "beautiful and intricate."As one could guess, Khardori's reaction on Tuesday to the Supreme Court's decision ignited his rage to heights of hyperbole as reflected in the title of his angry diatribe, "The Supreme Court Gave Trump a Stunning Gift — and Rewrote the Constitution."Khardori went...

MADISON, Wis. -- President Joe Biden will make his second visit to Madison of 2024 on Friday, his campaign confirmed Tuesday. The White House is expected to formally announce the visit later Tuesday afternoon. Biden's visit comes on the heels of a debate performance that raised concerns among some voters and political analysts, and a decision by the Supreme Court that gave his opponent former President Donald Trump partial criminal immunity. The New York Times first reported Tuesday afternoon that Biden was planning to meet with Democratic governors in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Biden last visited Madison in April 2024, touting...

After conning British Foreign Secretary David Cameron into divulging that Ukraine won't be invited to join NATO at the alliance’s next summit, the Russian prankster duo of Vovan and Lexus have successfully duped Hillary Clinton.Despite her crushing defeat to Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential elections, Hillary Clinton has adamantly refused to be put out to pasture or written off from big politics. Hence, her current bid to dabble in the ongoing proxy conflict in Ukraine. It comes as no surprise that the former US Secretary of State eagerly accepted the offer to speak with 'former Ukrainian President Petro...

It would compel the US and Europe to come to the defence of Kyiv in the event of any Russian attack.But...

Ukraine is too corrupt to join NATO, the US is set to tell leader Volodymyr Zelensky in a major blow to his nation's security ambitions. The defence bloc will request at its annual summit next week, in Washington DC, that Ukraine takes 'additional steps before formal membership talks progress', a senior US official told the Telegraph. Zelensky has been pushing for NATO ascension after Russia's brutal invasion ends to protect itself from future invasion, as the pact compels its members to militarily defend allies if they are attacked.

Judge Juan Merchan has delayed former President Trump's sentencing in New York v. Trump to September, after requests from the presumptive Republican nominee to do so, and no opposition from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Trump was found guilty in an unprecedented criminal trial last month on all counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, following a six-week trial stemming from Bragg's investigation. Trump on Monday moved to overturn his criminal conviction in the Manhattan case after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a former president has substantial immunity for official acts committed while in office. He also...

Even as the Biden team ramps up its damage control, fresh word on the president’s compromised mental state keeps popping up. Among the worst of the latest: President Biden’s top staffers, per high-level leaks to Politico, have been keeping bad news from him during his regular briefings — lest it trigger one of his notorious rages. That is, they’re not just hiding him from the outside world — but also hiding the outside world from him. And this is presumably during the 10 a.m.-to-4 p.m. window (per aides’ leaks to Axios) when the staff figure the president is functional —...

“Joe Biden is the walking embodiment of the exhausted American Establishment. More and more people have simply lost their faith in our Ruling Class. You could scarcely have a more potent symbol of its impotence.” — Rod Dreher. Just before the weekend, a political prairie fire raced across a nation buffaloed, blind-sided, and buried deeply in bulls[***}, and the little critters who inhabit the landscape are still running around with their fur smoldering. What a surprise that “Joe Biden,” the mentally-disabled pretend-president, fell apart in the debate spotlight for all to see, like Captain Queeg in his fateful witness chair,...

Sikorsky Support Services Inc., a helicopter manufacturer headquartered in Stratford, Conn., agreed to pay the federal government $70 million in a settlement alongside Wisconsin-based Derco Aerospace Inc. because of claims that it knowingly overcharged the Navy for spare parts and other materials needed to repair and maintain the aircraft it already uses. According to a release from the Department of Justice, Sikorsky and Derco, which are both owned by the same parent company, Lockheed Martin, entered into a type of contract that violates federal statute because it gives suppliers an incentive to drive up government costs — which is what...

In the 235 or so years since our Republic was founded, until now, no ex-President has ever been prosecuted for allegedly criminal acts committed while in office. This has been a political norm of great consequence. Any such prosecution of an ex-President cannot avoid being inherently problematical, inevitably bringing to a head the conflict between, on the one hand, constraining the President in the exercise of his constitutional duties and, on the other hand, declaring him “above the law.” By far preferable would be for this conflict never to arise, and for the applicable legal rules never to get defined...
