Washington — U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has agreed to testify to the House Oversight Committee as Republicans ramp up efforts to investigate the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. The committee's Republican chairman, Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, subpoenaed Cheatle on Wednesday for her testimony, requesting her appearance before lawmakers on July 22. In a letter to Comer on Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security offered Cheatle's testimony on July 25, July 26 or the following week. The July 22 date clashed with her "travel and operational commitments." But a committee spokesperson said the hearing would take...

Former president Barack Obama has told allies in recent days that President Biden’s path to victory has greatly diminished and he thinks the president needs to seriously consider the viability of his candidacy, according to multiple people briefed on his thinking. Obama has spoken with Biden only once since the debate, and he has been clear in his conversations with others that the future of Biden’s candidacy is a decision for the president to make. He has emphasized that his concern is protecting Biden and his legacy, and has pushed back against the idea that he alone can influence Biden’s...

REHOBOTH BEACH, Delaware — President Joe Biden’s reelection bid appeared to be nearing the point of collapse on Thursday, amid a cascade of warnings from the Democratic Party’s top leaders that they have lost confidence in his candidacy. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi each told Biden in separate meetings over the last week that he should reconsider his reelection run or risk losing and dragging the rest of the party down with him. Schumer was “pretty harsh” in his conversation with Biden, said one senior Hill Democrat briefed on...

Most Americans fear the U.S. is “spiraling” out of control, a Reuters/Ipsos survey released days after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump found. The two-day survey, which ended polling on Tuesday, found four out of ten asserting that the country is “spiraling” out of control, and an even greater figure, 86 percent, believe “acts of violence” are “throwing this country into chaos,” per reporting from Axios: The two-day poll, which closed Tuesday and included 992 registered voters, showed that 56% were “very concerned” about this and 30% were “somewhat concerned” following Saturday’s Pennsylvania rally shooting that killed one...

CNN political commentator S.E. Cupp said Thursday that Democratic lawmakers were leaking their conversations with President Biden because they feel they can't get through to him about dropping out of the race. "Democrats are so desperate to get through to Joe Biden and they’re not, that now they're leaking these private conversations as sort of an outside effort to triangulate and really force Joe Biden to acknowledge the realities of the state of his campaign. And unfortunately, I think his resistance does not look like it’s coming from a position of strength but a position of delusion," Cupp said.

On a recent call with Democrat lawmakers to assuage concerns about his declining mental capacity and to shore up support for his continuation on the top of the ticket, staffers handed Joe Biden a private note critiquing his tone and telling him to “stay positive.” Biden then read the note out loud to those on the call. According to the New York Times, a staffer gave Biden a note card with tips saying, “Stay positive, you are sounding defensive,” Biden then repeated the private note on the call, seemingly reading directly from his staffer’s missive.

Subway has been accused of religious discrimination against Christians after an outlet in Wisconsin refused to serve customers because of the anti-abortion and anti-gay messages on their T-shirts. Street preacher David Grisham was in town for the Republican National Convention when he and three friends popped into a Waunakee branch of the fast-food franchise to grab a sandwich. But they were forced to go elsewhere when a young woman behind the counter confirmed she was refusing to serve the group because of the messages on their T-shirts. The world's largest restaurant operator has now been hit with a deluge of...

UNITED NATIONS – The United Nations says comments by a spokesman in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office about the head of the UN agency helping Palestinian refugees are “reprehensible” and threatening. UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric is responding to comments made by spokesman David Mencer who called Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the agency known as UNRWA, “one of the bad guys, a terrorist sympathizer, a Jew-killing enabler, a liar.” Mencer issued the denunciations of Lazzarini after saying that Israeli forces have retrieved “millions of documents and captured enemy material” exposing the involvement of UNRWA employees in Hamas’ attacks on October...

The Republican concern with China’s threat to America is understandable, arguably even laudable, as many of China’s economic, security, and human rights policies do, in fact, challenge America. When that laudable concern turns into a single-minded obsession, however, then it does more than a disservice to America. It becomes exactly that which it was supposed to deter: a threat to America’s security. Both former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, along with the Heritage Foundation and scores of conservative analysts, suffer from this obsession. If China were the only big country that matters in the...

BETHEL PARK, Pa. – Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old would-be assassin who opened fire on former President Donald Trump's Pennsylvania campaign rally Saturday, hid the weapon in advance, according to a Secret Service source. It was not immediately clear where he hid it, however. By the time agents spotted him on the roof, he was already holding it. "We went from golf range finder to AR-15, and now we have to fill in the gap," the source told Fox News

President Biden's re-election campaign is all but over, CNN political commentator and former Bill Clinton strategist Paul Begala projected on Thursday. "I've been talking to a lot of people, a lot of members in the Senate and House, major donors, activists, party chairs and I got to tell you, I think I‘ve come across one who is still ridin’ for Biden," Begala said candidly on CNN. "So the walls are closing in." Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a longtime Biden ally, has made this argument in private calls to the president, according to CNN. Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer has...

Bud Light's popularity continues to decline more than a year after a boycott disrupted the US beer industry. A backlash that began last April - after the beer giant used a transgender influencer in an advert - has snowballed, new sales figures show. Back then, Bud Light was the undisputed top-selling beer in American stores by a margin. It had held the place for decades. It fell below Modelo Especial last summer - and now it has slipped to No3 behind Michelob Ultra. Coors Light could overtake Bud Light by the end of the year if the fall in sales...

About 1.8 million people worldwide are bitten by snakes each year. Of those, up to 138,000 die and another 400,000 end up with permanent scarring and disability. Many cobras have tissue-damaging venoms that can't be treated with current antivenoms. We have discovered that cheap, readily available blood-thinning medications can be repurposed as antidotes for these venoms. Using CRISPR gene-editing technology we learned more about how these venoms attack our cells, and found out that a common class of drugs called heparinoids can protect tissue from the venom. Our research is published today in Science Translational Medicine. Snakebites are a serious...

Sky News host Liz Storer says “Trump derangement syndrome” has picked up again after the former president’s “great week” surrounding the debate. “Donald Trump’s great week has resulted in some serious Trump derangement syndrome, we are talking about on steroids,” Ms Storer said. “This has now reached such a hysterical level people are taking to social media to call for Trump’s assassination.”

President Biden is expected to see Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he is in Washington next week, but the White House cautioned the president’s recovery from COVID-19 will take priority. “We have every expectation that the two leaders will have a chance to see each other when Prime Minister Netanyahu is in town,” John Kirby, the White House communications director for national security, told reporters Thursday. Kirby said the president’s health and his recovery after testing positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday will take priority and that it is unclear “if and how that might affect the discussion.”

Elevation Church in North Carolina has been accused by one pastor of high-tech “sheep stealing,” claiming the popular megachurch is using geofencing technology to intentionally target smaller churches with location-based ads, ensuring that as soon as congregants step foot onto their own church property- they are pushed advertisements intended to draw them away. Dr. Michael Kelly is the lead pastor of Central Triad Church, a growing congregation nestled on the outskirts of Winston-Salem, NC. In a recent sermon he revealed to his congregation that a few years ago, in 2018, he was looking for ways to help grow and promote...
