Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), rumored to be one of the final three candidates for Trump’s choice of running mate, appeared on CNN’s "State of the Union" Sunday and refused to accept host Dana Bash’s warped narrative of Trump’s intentions should he retake the presidency. Even as we’ve witnessed example after example of the Biden administration using the Department of Justice as a weaponized political tool, those on the left deflect and say it’s actually Trump who’s the danger here.What a load of you know what.Bash tried to sell that narrative to Rubio, but he wasn’t having it.“Senator, Donald Trump has...

The leaks are flying out the White House as staffers who want Old Joe to step aside seek to spread the word about his declining health. According to a report from Axios, Biden staffers are preparing large documents with instructions for his every move, including something as simple and obvious as walking up to the podium. The report explains: Before a presidential event, the White House sends event staffers a document to emulate when preparing their own materials for the president. One template — a copy of which was obtained by Axios — is short and simple, with one large...

A coalition of left-wing parties pulled off a stunning upset in the final round of France's parliamentary elections, relegating the right-wing National Rally to third place and seemingly guaranteeing paralysis in the French government. In the first round of voting last Sunday, Marine Le Pen's National Rally (RN) won 34 percent. The leftist New Popular Front (NFP) — a coalition of five parties that range from lunatic leftists and environmentalists to run-of-the-mill socialists — took 28 percent of the vote. French President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist Ensemble alliance was essentially repudiated by the voters gathering only 20 percent. The election wasn't...

In a March 2023 interview, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz promised his country economic growth reminiscent of the post-war economic miracle. “Because of big investments in climate protection, Germany will achieve growth rates for some time which we last saw in the 1950s and 1960s,” said Scholz. Germany achieved annual growth rates of around 8 percent during the 1950s and early 1960s. Chancellor Scholz reiterated his certainty in the accuracy of his March 2023 forecast during a parliamentary session on July 3, 2024. However, the reality is exactly the opposite! Germany is once again the sick man of Europe. According to...

Nearly a third of all adults are not doing enough physical activity, posing a growing threat to health across the world, a major study said on Wednesday. More than 31 percent of adults—1.8 billion people—did not get the recommended amount of physical exercise in 2022, an increase of five percentage points from 2010, according to a study by the World Health Organization and other researchers. "Physical inactivity is a silent threat to global health, contributing significantly to the burden of chronic diseases," said Ruediger Krech, director of the WHO's health promotion department. "Unfortunately the world is not going in the...

For years now, honest voices on the right have called out Joe Biden's various "senior moments" and raised questions about his physical and cognitive health. While the signs of dementia have been obvious for a while now, it was only after Biden's performance at the debate that voices on the left finally admitted that something is wrong with Joe Biden. But has the White House been covering up more than just dementia? Visitor logs obtained by the New York Post reveal that President Joe Biden's primary physician repeatedly consulted with a Parkinson's disease specialist at the White House. According to...

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos sits down with Joe Biden for his first TV interview since last week's presidential debate.

We are data guys and we see almost no way Trump wins without Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - which he is on track to lose - handily - again. He doesn’t need to win them all, but losing them all is fatal. Each of these states has industrial scale ballot manufacturing operations creating enough ballots to overcome any “too big to rig” strategy. Just how big is “too big to rig?” Try 4% to 5% of the voter roll - in each of these 4 swing states - contain enough anomalous identity/address combinations that can be voted, via mail-in...

Democrats are growing increasingly nervous that President Biden’s campaign is sinking after his disastrous debate performance — and their hopes of retaining the Senate and retaking the House in November could sink along with it. In key contests across the country, especially in the Senate, Democrats have generally been outperforming Biden in polls, teeing up a potentially stark contrast with the 2020 election when he generally outshined members of Congress and other contenders in his party. “There are concerns with the impact on down-ballot races if the President doesn’t do well,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif) admitted on NBC’s “Meet the...

A study performed in mice has uncovered a potential new tool to combat the escalating issue of childhood obesity. The research suggests that a simple dietary change, in the form of a fish oil supplement taken by fathers, might help address this pressing health concern. To find out whether paternal diet could influence offspring health, researchers gave male mice a high-fat diet with or without added fish oil. They found that the offspring of the males that consumed fish oil had a lower body weight and showed better metabolic health than the offspring of fathers not supplemented with fish oil....

Physician scientists found that people with metastatic kidney cancer who orally took a live biotherapeutic product called CBM588 while in treatment with immunotherapy and enzymatic tyrosine kinase inhibitors experienced improved health outcomes. "CBM588 could be exciting in cancer treatment because of its potential to enhance the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor-based treatment, improve patient outcomes and modulate the gut microbiota in beneficial ways," said Pal. "If the positive results observed in this small trial and a previous trial with nivolumab and ipilimumab are confirmed, CBM588 could become a valuable supplement in the treatment of various cancers, particularly for patients treated...

[Catholic Caucus] Unhinged Miscreants Desecrated the Body of Cardinal PellIt was appalling to learn that a person or persons unknown desecrated the body of Cardinal George Pell before it was returned to Australia. We are told that this happened after the autopsy, that his body was inadequately embalmed, that he was left undressed and that his nose had been broken. This indicates a level of vindictiveness that is hard to fathom, and shows how little regard the perpetrators had for Pell’s family: the ones most affected by this sad event. One can only wonder at the motive: a true Christian...

WASHINGTON — Four additional Democrats in Congress told their lawmaker colleagues during a phone call Sunday that they believe President Joe Biden should step aside to allow someone else to be the party’s nominee for president, according to multiple people on the call and familiar with the discussion. The House Democrats who said Biden should drop out of the race were Adam Smith of Washington, Jerry Nadler of New York, Mark Takano of California and Joe Morelle of New York. All four lawmakers hold top positions on key committees and bring the number of Democrats in Congress who have called...

1950s The design of the telephone didn’t change much from the ’40s to the ’50s, but the mechanics of it sure did. If you look closely, you’ll notice that the numbers and letters are placed around the rotary so that people could view them more easily when dialing, and it also had an adjustable volume control. This style phone is the Western Electric model 500 Rotary. It was designed by Henry Dreyfus and was used as the Bell System’s mainstay telephone from the 1950s through the 1980s.

Under new ownership, Pan American World Airways has announced the first in a series of planned themed journeys that harken back to its heyday. For decades, the Pan Am brand and its distinctive blue and white logo symbolized the excitement and elegance of air travel's golden age. Even after the airline ceased operations in 1991, memories of its attentive service, gourmet meals, impeccably dressed crew, and spacious seating endure.

As many as 4 in 10 companies say they have posted a job listing this year that doesn't exist, while 3 in 10 say they're currently advertising for a role that isn't real, according to a May survey of over 600 hiring managers from the career site Resume Builder. Tim Paradis, future-of-work correspondent for Business Insider, joins CBS News to explain why some companies are doing this, and how you can spot the fake postings.

Andrea Lawful-Sanders, the black radio host who allowed the Biden White House to send scripted questions in advance was fired. Joe Biden sat down for a pre-recorded interview with black-owned Philly-based radio station WURD to discuss his campaign strategy after his disastrous debate. The interview aired last Thursday morning. Joe Biden told Andrea Lawful-Sanders that he’s proud to be the first black woman to serve with a black president. “And by the way, I’m proud to be – as I’ve said – the first Vice President – first black woman to serve with a black president,” Biden said.
