President Joe Biden canceled an early evening meeting with the German chancellor Olaf Scholz at the last minute because he had to go to bed, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. The newspaper reported that the event was an informal gathering in Germany amid the G7 summit in June 2022, and was meant to be a low-key meeting to discuss Ukraine. According to the report, the chancellor and his aides were surprised by Biden's absence and Blinken's appearance. Axios, citing people close to the president, has previously said that Biden worked best between the 10 a.m. and...

Embattled and increasingly bitter, Joe Biden angrily lashed out on Monday when he was asked – yet again – if he'd considering stepping down as the presumptive Democratic nominee for president. 'Who else do you think could step in here and do this?' he spat during a phone-in interview with MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. 'Run against me!' he said, daring Democrat rivals. 'Challenge me at the convention.'

One of the most infamous killers in Santa Cruz County history was denied parole on Tuesday. Edmund Kemper, now 75, was denied parole again and has spent the last 51 years incarcerated for the killings of seven women and one girl between 1972 and 1973 in Santa Cruz County. One of the victims was Kemper's mother. He is currently locked in a Vacaville psychiatric center, serving a life sentence. The man known as the "Ogre of Aptos" for his 6-foot, 9-inch frame would pick up hitchhiking UC Santa Cruz and Cabrillo College students, thus gaining the other nickname the "Co-ed...

The people behind Joe Biden that used illegal voter registration, subsequent ballot harvesting, and ultimately corrupt ballot counting to install Biden into office, have threatened to veto any legislation that would impede their election fraud operation.By now we should all know the essential process being deployed. This is the reason for the open border policies.The Biden administration (DHS) is not “importing democrat voters.” Instead, DHS is importing people, names, that allows the state fraud process to generate ballots. This is an important distinction.The migrants will not use the ballots. The DNC harvesters will collect them, fill them out (Team Obama),...

President Trump on Tuesday called on Republican Attorneys Harmeet Dhillon and David Braden to stop the Democrats from allowing illegal aliens from voting in the 2024 election. Democrats announced they will block any legislation from the US House that protects American voters and allows illegal voters to cast votes for Democrats. For some reason, Democrats believe they must cheat to win elections today. President Trump released a brutal statement calling out Joe Biden, the moron, and Democrats who CHEAT. President Donald Trump: Republicans must pass the Save Act, or go home and cry yourself to sleep. Non citizen Illegal Migrants...

A deputy US Marshal shot a would-be carjacker who pulled a gun on him while he was guarding Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s home in Washington, DC, authorities said. Two deputies were parked outside Sotomayor’s home in northwest DC on July 5 when Kentrell Flowers, 18, allegedly walked up to one of their cars around 1:15 a.m. and pointed a gun at the bodyguard, the US Marshals Service told The Post.

The eco-fanatics at Politico and The New York Times exploited a Republican Senator’s death to grave-stomp over his climate change skepticism. How many Politico reporters does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Who knows, but we do know it took four to write an insane, grave-stomping July 9 headline: “Former Sen. Jim Inhofe, who called climate change a 'hoax,' dead at 89.” The first paragraph of the piece was no better. In fact, it was about as cringeworthy as it gets. “Inhofe, the Oklahoma Republican who once brought a snowball onto the Senate floor as a brazen symbol of...

FOR EIGHT YEARS progressive activists, democracy-dies-in-darkness media types, and self-important podcasters have righteously bombarded Americans with clarion calls about the danger of Trumpian gaslighting. We’ve certainly done our fair share of that here. Which is why it has been so dismaying over the past few days to see an unending stream of gaslighting from the very same people in the days following President Biden’s disastrous debate performance. The bedwetting about Joe Biden’s debate performance, they insist, is overwrought and unhelpful and everyone should simply move forward as if we are not in the midst of a crisis.

Rep. Andrew Clyde @Rep_Clyde BREAKING: The House Appropriations Committee ADOPTED my amendment to REDUCE AG Garland’s salary to $1 until he releases the Biden-Hur tapes. 11:38 AM · Jul 9, 2024

Scientists have uncovered a new source of hazardous "forever chemical" pollution: the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries found in most electric vehicles. Some lithium-ion battery technologies use a class of PFAS chemicals, or per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances, that helps make batteries less flammable and conduct electricity. Scientists found high levels of these PFAS in air, water, snow, soil, and sediment samples near plants that make those chemicals in the US, Belgium, and France, according to a peer-reviewed study in the journal Nature Communications. PFAS are known as "forever chemicals" because they build up quickly in the environment, people, and animals and don't break...

Vice President Kamala Harris told left-wing The Nation magazine that she applauds the “emotion” behind anti-Israel protests on campus — even as the government revealed that Iran provides funding for the demonstrations. In an interview Monday with Joan Walsh, Harris said that the protests — which have disrupted life on campuses and in major cities, and which have targeted Jews — are displaying the correct “emotion” with regard to the ongoing war in Gaza: The young people who have mobilized against the destruction of Gaza are unlikely to be mollified by these answers. What does she say to them? “They...

Former President Trump holds a 5-point lead over President Biden in the critical battleground state of Wisconsin, according to a new poll. A poll by AARP, which was conducted by Fabrizio Ward and Impact Research, showed Trump ahead of Biden 50 percent support to 45 percent when the two are placed in a match-up against each other, with 4 percent of respondents undecided and 1 percent saying “other.” When Trump and Biden are placed on the same ballot with independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and several other long-shot candidates, Trump leads Biden by 6 points, at 44 percent support...

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – A US Navy sailor made several attempts to access the system with President Joe Biden’s medical records, CBS News reported on Tuesday, citing the Navy. The sailor, whose name the authorities did not disclose, tried to access the Genesis Medical Health System — the database for the military medical system — three times on Feb. 23. However, the White House official, as quoted by the report, assured that "he did not pull up the right Joe Biden." The Navy launched an investigation three days later, and on April 24, it was determined that the sailor could not...

Rep. Andrew Clyde @Rep_Clyde BREAKING: The House Appropriations Committee DID NOT adopt my amendment to defund the Left’s lawfare against President Trump. Why? Not enough Republicans showed up to vote. Utter disgrace. 11:05 AM · Jul 9, 2024

The House Appropriations Committee DID NOT adopt my amendment to defund the Left’s lawfare against President Trump. Why? Not enough Republicans showed up to vote. Utter disgrace. But the fight isn’t over. Stay tuned.

The abortion debate in America has been a defining issue for decades, drawing a clearly defined line between those who value life and those who, quite frankly, promote death. From the infamous Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, which opened the floodgates to the slaughter of the unborn, to the 2022 Dobbs decision that overturned it, conservatives have long held the moral high ground. We have rightfully labeled the Democrat party as the “party of death”—it is their policies that have facilitated the killing of millions of innocent lives. Yet, with the latest compromises from the Republican National Committee (RNC),...

The Biden administration has warned China against continuing to conduct armed attacks on the Philippines, but China has blatantly ignored the warning, repeatedly harassing Philippine naval vessels and severely injuring its sailors over the past several months. Beijing, for its part, has accused Washington of using the Philippines as a pawn and seems to have every intention of continuing to escalate the dispute. That dispute centers on the Second Thomas Shoal, a disputed reef within the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines, but also within China’s illegal “nine-dash line” maritime claim in the South China Sea. The Daily Signal depends...

The U.S. Marshals office said that suspect Kentrell Flowers, 18, allegedly walked up to one of the deputies’ cars at around 1:15 a.m. on July 5 and pointed a gun at the bodyguard.

Flowers was taken to hospital for treatment and arrested. “The Deputy U.S. Marshals involved in the shooting incident were part of the unit protecting the residences of...

The coup to replace President Joe Biden as the Democrat nominee appears to be sputtering as prominent Democrats are publicly lining up behind the presumptive nominee despite deep private concerns documented within the party. From vulnerable Democrat senators trying to win reelection in red and purple states, to squad members from deep blue districts, to the chairs of the Congressional Black and Hispanic Caucuses, the party is publicly rallying behind an extremely vulnerable Biden to be at the top of the ticket this fall. Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Bob Casey (D-PA), and Jon Tester (D-MT), who face extremely competitive Senate...
