Yesterday actor and Dem cheerleader George Clooney had an op-ed published in the New York Times in which he said that the President Biden he saw and heard during a mid-June L.A. fundraiser was the same person who we all saw at the presidential debate just days later. In other words, Biden's supporters were just fine with his cognitive state until it became obvious to the rest of the country, so now it's a problem: But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can. It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden...

A growing chorus of Democratic officeholders is calling on Joe Biden to retire from the presidential race, and high-buck donors say they will withhold $90 million if he is the candidate–which, in the scheme of things, isn’t all that big a number. Why are the Democrats airing their horror at Biden’s candidacy in public? Because they don’t have any behind-the-scenes way to force him out. Their convention will take place in a few weeks, and Biden has virtually all the delegates. So the DNC’s only recourse is public pressure, putting them in the bizarre position of assuring us all that...

A Florida mother has been charged with inciting a riot of upwards of 400 people at a skating rink after owners cancelled her daughter's 18th birthday party. Shocking video footage emerged back in May showing the moment the riot broke out at Astro Skate in the Tampa Bay area, leading to the arrest of 26 people. Cops confirmed Thursday that Stephanie Pedroso, 36, has been arrested after she reportedly used her daughter's Instagram to encourage as many people as possible to turn up to the rink. Pedroso was said to be seeking revenge on staff after they cancelled the private...

As Joe Biden took to the stage for a rally in Detroit, Michigan, on Friday evening, one of the most raucous crowds seen in recent years at any event for the US president chanted: "Don't you quit!" The presumptive Democratic nominee was greeted by deafening cheers from hundreds of supporters as he vowed: "I am running! And I'm gonna win!" As he left the stage, the strains of Tom Petty's hit I Won't Back Down washed over the high school gymnasium, an implicit rebuff to the growing list of elected members of his party exhorting him to step aside amid...

President Biden swore to Michigan voters Friday that he was “OK” during a campaign stop in the crucial swing state — before misnaming a prominent Democratic congresswoman. “I promise you, I am – I’m OK,” the 81-year-old president told supporters at a Northville, Mich., restaurant before heading to a larger rally in Detroit, where he stumbled attempting to shout-out Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.). “Members of Congress – Debbie Haley,” Biden said, apparently referring to Dingell, a five-term congresswoman. “And by the way, I want you to know that I’ve spent a lot of time with Debbie,” he added. “She helped...

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) said that no one knows why President Joe Biden had such a bad debate performance and it’s “speculation” to wonder if it was a condition or if it could happen again, but Biden has been honest and people saw “the real President Joe Biden” during his speech in Detroit earlier in the day. While the Detroit speech, Lee said, “I believe that people really are seeing the real President Joe Biden. He did not sugarcoat the debate. He was very clear about the problems and the difficulties with that debate....

Getting more than six hours of quality sleep a night may help prevent, or slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease, according to new research. The research has found the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques in the brain, a process linked to the development and progression of the disease, is closely related to individual sleep patterns. The study highlighted that poorer sleep quality, and lower quantity, were associated with faster accumulation of beta-amyloid in the brain, in older adults whose memory and thinking were still unimpaired. Associate Professor Stephanie Rainey-Smith said the findings suggest new hope for us all. "Alzheimer's disease is...

Paul Ryan, one of the most prominent national Republicans in Wisconsin history, is also notable as one of leading Republicans to reject the GOP’s current standard bearer, former President Donald Trump. Ryan, of Janesville, represented Wisconsin’s First Congressional District for 20 years and served as speaker from 2015 to 2019, when, after three years of clashing with Trump, he did not seek re-election. (He currently serves in a number of corporate roles.) In a 30-minute interview with Milwaukee Magazine in late May, Ryan shared his views on Trump’s rematch with President Joe Biden, the state of the GOP, national affairs...

With President Biden's poll numbers continuing to fall and projections for November's elections looking grim, desperate Democrats called the January 6 buffalo guy on the phone to see if he'd be willing to stage another insurrection. "Yes, is this Jacob Chansley? Yes, I'd like to order an insurrection," Nancy Pelosi said to the infamous QAnon Shaman. "I know we've been saying insurrections are bad and stuff, but things are looking ugly for us and we've tried just about everything we can do to turn it around, but it's not good." "If you could maybe overthrow the government and force Biden...

“Which country in the world allows itself to be exploited in this manner?”.. The argument that mass migration is needed to support GDP levels and pay for pensions took another blow when it was revealed 47.3% of welfare recipients in Germany are foreign migrants. According to newly released government statistics, nearly half of the 5.49 million people in Germany on benefits are foreign migrants, four percentage points higher than in 2022. €42.6 billion euros is now being paid out in welfare compared to to €36.6 billion in 2022. “In addition, there was another record €6.3 billion worth of administration costs...

On Friday’s broadcast of NBC’s “Today,” Biden Campaign Co-Chair Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) responded to a question on President Joe Biden doing fewer news conferences and interviews than his predecessors by stating that he thinks Biden “is pacing himself.” And that while Biden should do more town hall-style events, “I don’t want people to think that you’ve got to be going through the trials of a press conference.” Co-host Craig Melvin asked, “He’s done fewer news conferences than any president — the last seven presidents, fewer news conferences, fewer interviews like this. Do you think this White House has shielded...

[Catholic Caucus] Archbishop Cordileone defends Latin Mass in new article: ‘Beauty evangelizes’The San Francisco archbishop offered his support to Catholics who love the Traditional Latin Mass and emphasized that the sacred form has many advocates.Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone defended the use of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) amid rumors that the Vatican plans to impose further restrictions on it.In an essay published in the National Catholic Register, the archbishop of San Francisco explained why the Church needs the TLM and that restricting it would be a mistake, stressing that the beauty of the traditional Latin Rite is an essential tool of...

Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas) made his third visit of the year to Pennsylvania Wednesday night, aiming to fire up grassroots supporters of former President Donald Trump with a simple message. “The Biden administration,” Hunt said with a pause, “sucks.” That quoting of Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) drew laughter from a raucous crowd at Lehigh Valley Tea Party headquarters. Hunt held two events in Philadelphia last month — as part of the Republican push for African-American voters, which he’s leading — before trekking up to Allentown, a city with notoriously purple suburbs that often decide statewide elections. *** “If President Trump...

Happy Friday friends! Thanks again to all of you that were able to join us for our livestream on Tuesday. If you weren't able to join us, we announced the big news about our upcoming performances at Dollywood and we debuted our first original song! This was a song Colt wrote back in 2009 with his then drummer and my Uncle Josh. They recorded this song along with a full-length original album together. At that time, Colt and I had only been married a couple years and we had no idea that one day we'd have children that would love...

CNN’s MJ Lee reported on Thursday afternoon President Joe Biden’s advisors in the White House are beating “the sh*t out” of Democrats who are stepping out of line.Asked by anchor Jake Tapper to expand on reports that Democrats are “furious with Biden advisors,” Lee obliged.

Hillary Clinton won’t side with Joe Biden in his bid for the 2024 presidential race. According to sources from Page Six, the former secretary of state of the United States humorously replied to tough questions posed to her by “anxious and irate” Democrats with influence at a gathering at the home of venture capital executive Jacqueline Novogratz. The source noted Clinton joked about how one can relate to situations where “you have to take the keys away from older parents,” implying that Biden can’t be forced out and that “only people who could persuade Biden (to exit) are the people...

I saw them at Lakeland, FL civic center in 1979. Open seating and I got there early, right front of stage, maybe two rows back.
