President Joe Biden's debate performance last week shocked the journalists and other Democratic supporters who had pretended not to notice his significant cognitive decline. Anxious donors attempted to reach out to Dr. Jill Biden, Ed.D., widely regarded as her husband's top political adviser, in an effort to persuade the president to drop out. FreeBeacon These anxious Democrats got their answer on Monday, when Vogue magazine unveiled the cover of its August issue: Jill Biden posing defiantly in a Ralph Lauren dress and Irene Neuwirth earrings. "We will continue to fight," the first lady told Vogue from Camp David, where the...

NEW: The NYT/Siena post-debate poll shows Trump widening his lead among likely voters nationally by 3 percentage points. Trump: 49% Biden 43% It is Trump's largest ever lead in a Times poll.

Hunter Biden, the former degenerate crackhead and phallus-obsessed prostitute addict with a penchant for racial slurs, was "one of the strongest voices" urging President Joe Biden, 81, to stay in the race during a special family gathering at Camp David over the weekend. Video President Biden has "long leaned on" his 54-year-old baby boy for advice, but senior aides were understandably surprised when Hunter Biden joined them for meetings at the White House this week to discuss the fallout from the debate. For the time being at least, Joe Biden seems determined to take his son's advice and keep running...

An ancient French sword has mysteriously vanished after 1,300 years wedged inside a rock 32ft off the ground. The Durandal, which is France’s version of King Arthur’s legendary Excalibur, was reported missing from the clifftop village of Rocamadour on Monday. It belonged to Roland, a famous knight in French literature who was said to own the ‘indestructible’ sword, which had become an iconic part of the area.

Contrary to the gaslighting from the Biden regime and his own family, the White House occupant is apparently having second thoughts on continuing the presidential race. The New York Times reported this morning that Joe Biden is worried he will not be able to save his candidacy if he’s unable to convince the American people that he has the mental acuity to handle the job following last week’s awful debate performance according to a key ally. The Biden ally told the Times that Biden knows that his next few appearances heading into the July 4 holiday weekend must go well....

Robert Towne, who wrote films including Chinatown and Mission: Impossible, has been remembered as one of Hollywood's greatest screenwriters following his death at the age of 89. Towne won an Oscar for his 1974 crime and corruption thriller Chinatown, which starred Jack Nicholson as a private detective. He was nominated for four Oscars during his career in total, including for co-writing 1975's Shampoo with the film's star Warren Beatty.

President Joe Biden will have lunch with Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday as he faces growing pressure to drop out of the 2024 race following his disastrous debate performance last week. The 81-year-old Democratic president has signaled that he has no intention of stepping aside, despite his weak debate performance against Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, on Thursday. Biden's poor showing sparked an immediate panic among Democrats and further highlighted concerns about his age and capacity to lead the country for another four years. Harris is among the top contenders being floated to replace Biden at the top...

Hurricane Beryl is expected to bring life-threatening winds and storm surge to Jamaica Wednesday, after the Category 4 storm ripped across islands in the southeast Caribbean, killing at least six people. According to the latest forecast from the National Hurricane Center, Beryl has lost some intensity but is still expected to be near major-hurricane strength when it passes near or over Jamaica at midday before taking aim at the Cayman Islands and Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. The storm — with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph — is currently located about 75 miles southeast of Kingston, Jamaica, moving west-northwest at 18...

One of the surprising discoveries of the Webb telescope involves an early population of compact red galaxies at redshift above 7, a time when the Universe was 20 times younger than it is today. The galaxies are redder than expected from their cosmological redshift, indicating additional reddening by a layer of dust. Some of these galaxies contain as much mass in evolved stars as our own Milky Way galaxy. Nevertheless, they are a hundred times smaller in radius, of an order of a few hundred light years. These compact galaxies manifest an increase by a factor of a million in...

It's unlikely that Michelle Obama will replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee for the presidential election, according to experts. Biden, the incumbent president, has been hit with criticism and calls for him to end his reelection bid following a poor performance in the first 2024 presidential debate in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday.

The Heritage Foundation vowed Wednesday to make it “extraordinarily difficult” for Democrats to replace President Joe Biden on the ballot. “If the Biden family decides that President Biden will not run for re-election, the mechanisms for replacing him on ballots vary by state. There is the potential for pre-election litigation in some states that would make the process difficult and perhaps unsuccessful,” Heritage Oversight Project stated in a memo that was compiled in April and released last week ahead of President Joe Biden’s “disastrous” debate performance. Heritage Oversight Project Executive Director Mike Howell, who authored the memo, said that replacing...

A Delta Airlines flight was diverted to New York City after passengers and crew, including both pilots, were served moldy chicken, a traveler has revealed. Nancy Kirchoff, 65, was on the Amsterdam bound flight with her husband when it made an emergency landing at JFK Airport in the early hours of Wednesday morning. The pilot announced they were turning around because there was 'some type of food issue and people were sick', Kirchoff told DailyMail.com. 'They said they saw some mold on the chicken,' she added. 'I asked if anyone had gotten sick and they told us no one had...

House Democrats are “not buying” efforts by the White House to explain away President Joe Biden’s poor debate performance and say the party faces an “existential threat” due to Biden’s declining mental acuity and a recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, a co-founder of Axios said on MSNBC Wednesday. Biden has come under fire from fellow Democrats since Thursday night’s CNN debate with former President Donald Trump, during which the incumbent froze at least twice, lost his train of thought, appeared stiff and made multiple verbal gaffes. Axios CEO and co-founder Jim VandeHei said that “furious” House Democrats are...

The fallout from Joe Biden's terrible debate performance continues unabated. In the days following Biden's infamous face-off with Donald Trump, many in the media have called on Biden to drop out of the race, and donors are starting to bail on him. Elected Democrats have generally been reluctant to speak out publicly but have privately expressed concern or anonymously told the media they think he should leave the ticket. The first Democrat to publicly call on Biden to drop out is Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Tex.), a 15-term incumbent and the second-highest ranking Democrat on the powerful House Ways and Means...

In the wake of the catastrophic debate last week, Bill Clinton, most of the media, and other Democrats have been claiming that although Joe Biden had a rough night, he’s had an extremely successful presidency––basically the public is just too stupid to understand how great he is. Here’s this, from a report at Newsmax:Bill Clinton Moves Past Debate, Cites Biden’s Accomplishments‘I’ll leave the debate rating to the pundits, but here’s what I know: facts and history matter. Joe Biden has given us 3 years of solid leadership, steadying us after the pandemic, creating a record number of new jobs, making...

Video game prop weapons are commonly seen in collections or at conventions. But it's a bad idea to carry around a replica video game weapon that has an actual blade attached to it. Anthony Bray, a resident of Nuneaton in Warwickshire, England discovered this the hard way when police arrested him last month for carrying a replica of Link's Master Sword from The Legend of Zelda. Via the Warwickshire police, Bray has been sentenced to four months in prison for carrying a bladed article in public. According to the report, Bray was spotted by officers on June 8 with the...

Under pressure in various sectors of the frontline, with its power plants and energy grid under relentless attacks, and trying to find a peace proposal that would keep it from losing 20 per cent of its former territory for good, Ukraine is also under financial threat, as concerning news arise over its debt restructuring efforts. Kiev could default on its enormous debts as early as next month unless it manages to negotiate a restructuring deal with its creditors, The Economist reported (behind paywall). With the onset of the war in February 2022, bondholders granted Ukraine a two-year debt freeze. That...
