Putting lies to rest. The monstrous regiment of anti-Israel campaigners have been accusing Israel of deliberately withholding food aid so that a “famine” is taking place in Gaza. In fact, more aid trucks laden with food have been entering Gaza today than went into the Strip before October 7. And as several academic studies have concluded, there is no famine in Gaza. There is food insecurity, which is a different thing, the result of continued looting of aid trucks by Gazans and, especially, by members of Hamas who seize food off the trucks for themselves, their extended families, and fellow...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Vice President Kamala Harris is the top alternative to replace U.S. President Joe Biden if he decides not to continue his reelection campaign, according to seven senior sources at the Biden campaign, the White House and the Democratic National Committee with knowledge of current discussions on the topic.Biden's fumbling, sometimes-incoherent and widely-panned first-debate performance against Republican rival Donald Trump last week set off a wave of panic within the Democratic party over concerns that he may not be fit enough to serve a second term, and prompted calls for top aides to resign.Some influential Democrats have floated alternatives...

A handful of responsible Democrats, including myself and West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, rejected Biden’s bloated “Build Back Better” bill and instead passed a law that supercharged American energy production, saved Medicare billions of dollars and reduced the deficit.

The tip of the Lawfare spear consists of a small group of former DOJ attorneys and Main Justice leftists who helped AG Eric Holder create the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) when it was formed on behalf of President Obama. Lawfare, writ large, are a tribe of leftists who strategically weaponize the justice systems within the DOJ. They are also the main guides, strategists and legal analysts who previously used Robert Mueller and currently use Jack Smith. The tribe is led by a trio of fellow travelers: Mary McCord, Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissmann. If you research the group, you...

Throughout Donald Trump's presidency, the Democrats and their media cohorts called for the 25th Amendment to be used against him, claiming he was mentally unfit to be president.

But after he took down the pieces, Nicholson — an ombudsman who runs two other programs at the Westchester County school in the...

Just days after the Supreme Court struck down the precedent of automatically deferring to bureaucrats, it is now ordering lower courts to reconsider some cases where federal agencies have interfered with the activities of Americans. On June 28, the Supreme Court overturned Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, a case that set a precedent requiring courts to defer to reasonable agency interpretations of a given law when the language used in the law was ambiguous. Now, the Supreme Court has ordered lower courts to review Foster v. U.S. Department of Agriculture and KC Transport v. Secretary of Labor, two cases...

Meetings. Lots of meetings. That is just one part of the plan the White House has laid out for President Joe Biden in coming days as he strives to project a vigorous, engaged persona far removed from what the public saw during his mournful presidential debate appearance. AP reports the White House announced Tuesday the octogenarian will meet with congressional leaders as well as Democratic governors to convince them he is the man for the job. He will then sit for a network TV interview on Friday before holding a press conference in coming days.

Former first lady Michelle Obama would beat former President Donald Trump in a hypothetical 2024 matchup, according to a new poll. The wife of former President Barack Obama is among the names being touted as a possible replacement for President Joe Biden, who is facing pressure to step down as the Democratic Party's nominee for president following a disastrous debate performance last week. Biden's poor performance sparked panic among Democrats and led many to question whether the 81-year-old is the strongest candidate to take on Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, in November. Biden has vowed to remain in the race,...

As The Gateway Pundit reported in November 2020, the total number of “indefinitely confined” voters, or Express Votes ballots for individuals with disabilities, skyrocketed from around 60,000 in 2016 to over 240,000 in 2020. The number of indefinitely confined voters in Wisconsin soared from 6% of total voters in 2016 to 11% of total voters in 2020. No photo ID is required in Wisconsin for indefinitely confined voters. A local Madison news outlet reported on the ‘indefinitely confined’ ballots from the 2020 election: These voters are not required to show proof of a photo ID to vote absentee if they...

An inheritance tax raid to “redistribute” wealth is a possibility for a Labour government if it gets into power, a leaked recording of a shadow frontbencher suggests. Darren Jones, the shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, told a public meeting funds from the punitive levy should be used to address “intergenerational inequality.” In the leaked recording, the contents of which were first reported by the Daily Telegraph, Jones – who will be responsible for public expenditure if Labour wins the election as widely expected – said there is a “bulk coming through the system of huge amounts of inherited wealth.”

Ancient philosophers and tragedians would have understood the human folly—from the media, the president, and his party—that led to last week’s debate debacle. A day before Thursday’s presidential debate, the New York Times ran a front-page story in its print edition railing against the posting of unflattering videos of Joe Biden. Among the president’s many “adversaries,” observed the Times, was the “distorted, online version of himself, a product of often misleading videos that play into and reinforce voters’ longstanding concerns about his age and abilities.” Such voter concerns were misguided, according to the Times and its sources. Former Illinois representative...
