Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill are rallying around President Biden as scores of lawmakers in the party privately — and publicly — question his viability at the top of the ticket after his disastrous debate performance in Atlanta last month. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday both amplified previous statements of support for Biden, the party’s presumptive nominee, despite the backlash from the debate. “I made clear the day after the debate publicly that I support President Joe Biden and the Democratic ticket,” Jeffries told reporters in the Capitol. “My position...

PCO says it will review its background check processThe Privy Council Office (PCO) says it did not search the aliases Birju Dattani, the new head of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, used to make controversial social media posts. A spokesperson for the PCO said in a statement to CBC News on Monday that "an administrative oversight resulted in the aliases not being searched by PCO." In June, Dattani was named the CHRC's chief commissioner, making him the first Muslim or racialized person to head the organization. Shortly after his historic appointment, national Jewish organizations cited what they described as antisemitic...

Researchers have found a potential link between putative retinal gliosis and Alzheimer's disease. The study demonstrates that putative retinal gliosis could be a sign of Alzheimer's disease-related neuroinflammation, an inflammatory response within the brain or spinal cord. Putative retinal gliosis refers to changes in the retina caused by activation of glial cells, which are support cells that become activated when there is damage or disease in the retina. In this study, Edmund Arthur, O.D., Ph.D. found that presumed neuroinflammation was larger in the retina of preclinical Alzheimer's disease patients compared to similarly aged controls, like from postmortem tissues and animal...

India has reportedly been exporting weapons and military equipment to Israel amid the ongoing war in Gaza. Leaked documents seen by Al Jazeera revealed that a cargo vessel that stopped off the Spanish coast contained more than 30 tons of rockets and explosives for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). The ship allegedly departed southeast India and was en route to the port of Ashdod, some 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the war-torn Gaza Strip. It also circumnavigated Africa to avoid persistent Houthi attacks in the Red Sea. According to the Middle East news outlet, a paragraph in the classified documents...

This street preacher is preaching at a church sponsored pride event. Not sure which church sponsored it. Only that one women who said she had a Doctorate in Theology came out and spoke to the preacher for all of the video. Others joined in either being rude or talking religion and warping it to fit their views.

The “He Gets Us” campaign, a $100 million public relations initiative aimed at rebranding Jesus, has once again proven its penchant for theological folly. This latest installment features an ad proclaiming, “The one who identifies as they/them is your neighbor.” As chronicled at The Dissenter, this campaign persistently distorts Christian principles to fit a modern, leftist agenda—much to the chagrin of conservative Christians who uphold the authority of Scripture. The ad attempts to exploit the biblical mandate to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31). This campaign, like much of the contemporary evangelical movement, grossly misrepresents what it means to...

Joe Biden’s physician Dr. O’Connor on Monday evening offered an explanation for the Parkinson’s disease expert’s numerous visits to the White House this year. A Parkinson’s disease specialist visited the White House TEN TIMES going back to November 2022 according to visitor logs. The Parkinson’s expert visited the White House 8 times in 8 months! Monday’s press briefing devolved into chaos as Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly declined to say why a Parkinson’s disease expert visited the White House so many times this year. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a brain disorder that causes progressive issues with movement, mental health, sleep, and pain....

Live Action’s Sami Parker recently countered the argument that support for limited government logically necessitates supporting legalized abortion. This is a fallacy. In an Instagram video, Parker reacted to Fox News host Tomi Lahren’s explanation as to why she is ‘pro-choice’. Here’s what she said: “I am pro-choice because I believe in limited government — not because I’m pro-abortion, not because I’m not pro-life, but because I believe in limited government. I don’t believe that’s the government’s place.” Parker got right to the point. “That’s crazy,” she explained. “This is like saying, ‘Well, I don’t believe in legislating things around...

On Friday the group backing an abortion amendment in Arkansas submitted 101,525 petition signatures to place their measure on the November ballot. The Arkansas Secretary of State will count and verify the signatures to ensure at least 91,704 of them came from registered voters before certifying the measure for the ballot. Arkansans for Limited Government is the organization backing the abortion amendment. According to public documents, the group spent tens of thousands of dollars paying more than 150 petition canvassers to collect signatures across the state. However, pro-life volunteers have been active in communities all over Arkansas as well. If...

The president of the National Education Association (NEA) was mocked over the weekend for giving a "totally unhinged" speech that reminded critics of a comedy skit from a famous American TV show. NEA President Becky Pringle banged on the podium, flailed her hands in the air and screamed about winning "all the things" repeatedly at the NEA's Annual Meeting and Representative Assembly (RA) in Philadelphia. X critics compared the moment to an iconic scene with Dwight Schrute from "The Office." During the screechy speech, Pringle called for transformative social justice change in the education system in the pursuit of equity....

Mollie Hemingway ... his Stephanopoulos interview looks more like a Democrat operative --and he is one-- trying to implore a fellow political ally to get out of the race for the good of the Democrat Party.. We're supposed to believe that they were somehow duped, that the rest of the country could see something that they couldn't see. I don't buy it. I don't think any Americans buy it. The level of media corruption that we're seeing is complete at this point." "They didn't cover the story because they thought it would be bad for Democrats to talk about the...

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell has called for allowing Joe Biden to have aides with him on stage to speak for him and help him sound coherent.Yes, really.

House Democrats have been called “traitors” as they prepare to wage war against Republicans over a bill requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in a federal election. The House Democratic leadership is urging its members to vote against the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act on the House floor, according to Axios. Billionaire Elon Musk savaged those opposing the bill in a Friday post on his X social media platform. “Those who oppose this are traitors.
