WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden began a crucial week for his candidacy by seeking to stamp out growing criticism by fellow Democrats who want him to step aside in the race.Phoning into MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Monday, the president said the voters have chosen him and dared his Democratic critics who want him out to challenge him at the party’s August convention. (snip) “The voters — and the voters alone — decide the nominee of the Democratic Party,” he added.

Billionaire Elon Musk issued a stark warning that Democrats are planning to steal more federal elections by allowing non-U.S. citizens to cast votes. House Democrats are planning to block legislation that would require voters to prove their U.S. citizenship in federal elections. If successful, it would give Democrats the opportunity to repeat what they did in the 2020 election and more. Musk told podcaster Tim Pool that the reason that Democrats are doing this is because they “want to cheat,” which we’ve seen in recent election cycles. A massive number of non-citizens are allowed to vote in federal elections and...

The Digital Services Act (DSA), which went into effect at the start of 2024, is the European Union’s flagship online censorship law. Other than China’s Great Firewall, it is arguably the most elaborate and wide-reaching instrument of government control of online content in the world. (snip) Informational threats to “public security and electoral processes” are also a tried-and-true pretext for censoring political opposition. Indeed, “election integrity” was the main pretext used by U.S. government-tied groups to censor American political speech during the 2020 election.To ensure compliance, the DSA establishes an official censorship bureaucracy that stretches across the EU, consisting of...

Nearly three years after the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the New Mexico film set of “Rust,” actor Alec Baldwin is set to stand trial. Baldwin is charged with involuntary manslaughter for his role in the deadly incident that also injured the film’s director, Joel Souza. Baldwin was rehearsing with a prop gun for a scene on Oct. 21, 2021, at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, when the gun went off, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin has maintained in multiple interviews that he did not pull the trigger and that...

They say you get what you pay for. Swing state Wisconsin is getting the erosion of election integrity laws, thanks to a mountain of leftist money that changed the makeup of the state’s Supreme Court. On Friday, just as President Joe Biden was slated to make a campaign visit to capital city and leftist enclave Madison, the left-leaning Wisconsin Supreme Court reversed a previous court ruling and endorsed the widespread use of absentee ballot drop boxes in November’s election. The ruling opens the door to the same kind of election shenanigans that plagued the Badger State in 2020.

President Joe Biden told congressional Democrats in a letter on Monday that he will continue his reelection bid despite mounting concerns about his mental fitness and the viability of his campaign. “I want you to know that despite all the speculation in the press and elsewhere, I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump,” Biden wrote in the letter, obtained by CNN. Biden sought to put growing concerns about his viability to rest in the forcefully worded letter. “The question of how to move forward has been...

According to Axios, House Democrats are predictably planning to strike down legislation that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections.

Novelist, Hollywood producer, and unabashed President Joe Biden supporter Stephen King took to social media Monday to tell the octogenarian it’s time to leave the 2024 presidential race. King’s message to his seven million-plus followers on X – formerly known as Twitter – was simple and straight to the point. The multimillionaire left-winger said: “Joe Biden has been a fine president, but it’s time for him—in the interests of the America he so clearly loves—to announce he will not run for re-election.”

From the outset of President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, the plan for winning was to make former President Donald Trump so unpalatable that voters uneasy with the incumbent would vote for him anyway. But now Biden is stuck in a political tailspin, with an abysmal debate performance highlighting his inability to make a case against Trump and prompting a collective national hand-wringing about his ability to do his job while an increasing number of House Democrats say he should leave the race. To get voters to focus on the threats posed by a second Trump administration, Biden’s own allies say...

MMT is mostly magic! The Federal Reserve relies on “The Power of Magic” to fool people. For example, the massive increase in money printing following Covid and Biden’s disastrous economic policies (or FOLLICIES). Modern monetary theory (MMT) is not convincing to most trained economists of various schools of thought. This causes many to balk at MMT and mock it, some of which is warranted as a reductio ad absurdum, especially given some of MMT’s more outlandish claims. In fact, my own thesis was an Austrian critique of MMT. But there is also a fair amount of hypocrisy in the non-Austrian...

Special Dispatch to the New-York Times. WASHINGTON, Thursday, July 7. The Government is in constant telegraphic communication with the army in Georgia, and all dispatches from Gen. SHERMAN are at once forwarded direct to Gen. GRANT, at City Point. Gen. GRANT takes the deepest interest in the great campaign of the West, as well as in that conducted in Virginia under his own eye; and though the control of operations is with Gen. SHERMAN, yet he is actively aided by GRANT, both in the way of advice and otherwise. The latest dispatches are dated at Marietta, which our army reached...

If anyone can seal the border, Donald Trump can. But can even he wrestle back control after President Biden’s “nation-wrecking nightmare” (Trump’s words) Trump would “seek to re-establish” his “Migrant Protection Protocols,” which saw Department of Homeland Security refuse entry to those apprehended at the southern border, but allow them to stay in Mexico pending their removal proceedings. Since 1997, all Trump’s predecessors possessed this potent statutory tool, yet only Trump used it. MPP took away aliens’ incentive to make bogus claims of fear to secure release into the U.S. DHS found it “indispensable,” resulting in “a rapid and substantial...

As long as your heart is in the right place, who cares, right? As long as your heart is in the right place, who cares if you are a multiple arsonist who throws fire-bombs and endangers lives? And you have a well-placed heart as big as the Ritz if you hate Israel and want to see it disappear, to be replaced by a 23rd Arab state. More on the antisemitic and pro-Hamas supporters who have rallied round the pyromaniacal comically-named Casey Goonan, can be found here: “Anti-Israel serial arsonist receives support from Columbia encampment protest groups,” by Michael Starr, Jerusalem...

President Biden sent a letter Monday to Congressional Democrats stressing that, despite some calling him to drop his 2024 bid after his horrid debate performance, he is “firmly committed” to seeing it through. "Now that you have returned from the July 4th recess, I want you to know that despite all the speculation in the press and elsewhere, I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump,” Biden wrote in his letter, addressed to “fellow Democrats.” “I have had extensive conversations with the leadership of the party, elected...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden, in a letter to congressional Democrats, stood firm against calls for him to drop his candidacy and called for an “end” to the intraparty drama that has torn apart Democrats about whether he should stay in the race after his dismal public debate performance. Biden wrote in the two-page letter Monday that “the question of how to move forward has been well-aired for over a week now. And it’s time for it to end.” “We have 42 days to the Democratic Convention and 119 days to the general election,” Biden said in the letter....

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) said in a new interview that she doesn’t like seeing her name mentioned as a possible replacement for President Biden if he leaves the presidential campaign. “It’s a distraction more than anything,” she told The Associated Press. “I don’t like seeing my name in articles like that because I’m totally focused on governing and campaigning for the ticket.” The governor has been a top name floated to replace Biden on the Democratic ticket should he end his reelection campaign. A rising number of critics has asked to step down, amid concerns over his age and...

Actress Bette Midler has called on Joe Biden to arrest House Republicans and execute Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan. Responding to the Supreme Court ruling this week that gave Donald Trump immunity for his official acts in office, Midler was one of many leftists unable to contain their frustration. “Now that Joe has total immunity, many are urging him to be GOP ruthless,” Midler wrote. “Here’s a suggestion for implementing his new powers.” Midler then linked to a New Republic article by former Clinton henchman Sidney Blumenthal, which fantasized: I regret to inform you that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson...

Today in Warsaw, Poland’s Prime Minister @donaldtusk and I signed the Agreement on Security Cooperation between Ukraine and the Republic of Poland. This unprecedented document includes a provision for shooting down Russian missiles and drones in Ukraine’s airspace that are fired in the direction of Poland. We are committed to implementing it. We will also cooperate on combat aircraft—both those already transferred by Poland and the possibility of transferring more in the future. In our security agreement, we have formalized the formation and training of the Ukrainian Legion, a new volunteer military unit, on Polish territory. This unit will be...
