Where is President BidenThe events of the past ten days in American politics have been nothing less than extraordinary. President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated. At that time,he was factually the presumptive nominee being within 48 hours of becoming the confirmed nomination of the Republican Party. The apparently, at best completely lax security at a high risk event with a high profile target, has lead to calls for investigation, and as I write this, the director of secret service is expected to appear in front the House of Representatives Oversight Committe to face questions on exactly what happened. Simultaneously, the...

What it's really time for. Old Joe Biden has now bowed to pressure from Democrat top dogs and dropped out of the race. So why is this man still president of the United States? The contradiction is clear in the statement Biden’s handlers wrote in his name, withdrawing his candidacy: “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country” — note the order of priority: party first, country second — “for...

WASHINGTON — “I need you and Mike at the house,” President Joe Biden said late Saturday afternoon. Biden was on the phone from his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, with Steve Ricchetti, a counselor to the president and one of his closest advisers. He was referring to Mike Donilon, his chief strategist and longtime speechwriter. Soon, both men were in Rehoboth Beach, socially distanced from the president, who was recovering from COVID. From that afternoon and far into the night, the three worked on one of the most important and historic letters of Biden’s presidency — the announcement of...

A convicted murderer who fatally shot an off-duty NYPD officer during a robbery in the Bronx more than 40 years ago will soon be released on parole — the 42nd cop killer in the state granted their freedom in seven years. Jose Curet, who gunned down Officer George Werdann on Feb. 21, 1982, will be sprung from Fishkill Correctional Facility after the Parole Board decided in favor of his release earlier this month, state records show. Retired NYPD Lt. Donald Pagani was a childhood friend of the murdered 23-year-old and attended 16 hearings to try to convince the board to...

Hollywood celebrities who have despondent for weeks over Joe Biden’s political prospects went wild Sunday following the president’s announcement that he won’t be seeking re-election. Numerous stars paid perfunctory tribute to Biden’s so-called “accomplishments” while prematurely anointing Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s next nominee. Stars including Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Bette Midler, Mark Ruffalo, and Jon Cryer all weighed in. Biden “has a record of accomplishments unmatched by any president in our lifetime. He restored honesty, dignity & integrity to the office,” Disney’s Star Wars actor Mark Hamill wrote.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his country’s thanks to President Joe Biden for his “unwavering support” after the 81-year-old Democrat announced he would withdraw from the 2024 presidential election, but will remain in office for the remainder of his term. With President Biden’s decision to stand down in the campaign after a collapse in support as the broader public began to question his apparent mental decline, the future of American financial and military support for the war in Ukraine is in doubt. Zelensky, whose government and military have relied heavily on aid from the Biden White House, thanked the outgoing...

Pro Political Tip For Mika Brzezinski: When praising Joe Biden, DO NOT, under any circumstances, talk about his "touch." And yet, on today's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski violated that rule. Expressing her sadness at Biden leaving the race, Mika thrice extolled Biden's "touch."Mika, Mika, Mika! You say "touch," and for millions of Americans it brings to mind unsettling images. Biden's "touch" with the daughter of Dem Sen. Chris Coons, seen here, is just one of many such examples. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

"Muslim Travel Ban" replaced with "Israeli Travel Ban." Eight years ago, Elor Azaia, an Israeli Army medic, arrived at the scene of an Islamic terrorist attack in the biblical Jewish city of Hebron. Two Islamic terrorists had been shot after attacking Israeli soldiers. One of the terrorists, wearing a heavy coat in springtime weather, was still alive, and Elor suspected that he had a suicide bomb vest hidden underneath the coat.The soldiers on the scene were uncertain what to do and Elor took the shot to save their lives.The Islamic terrorist attack had been timed for the Jewish holiday of...

Can we cease the charge of Trump the fascist since it has not only been proven false but has revealed far more about the authoritarian and conspiratorial nature of the accusers than their target? Who has most peddled conspiracy allegations the last nine years—all of them false and nearly all of them influencing national elections and public policies? Once a target is constructed as Hitlerian, almost any means necessary to quash that perceived existential threat become justified. And we have seen a lot of them in the last nine years. Russian collusion did not work. Christopher Steele was a fraud....

ot long after President Joe Biden announced he was stepping aside from the presidential race Sunday, pro-Trump social media influencers had settled on one line of attack: that Democrats had carried out a coup against their own president. [snip] From people who support Donald Trump, the man who tried to steal the 2020 election, this is obviously a ridiculous and absurd thing to say. Yet it echoes a self-interested argument made by Biden himself just two weeks ago, when he argued that him dropping out would be tantamount to ignoring democracy. “The voters — and the voters alone — decide...

Sen. Joe Manchin on Monday confirmed he would not be challenging Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic presidential ticket, saying, “I don’t need that in my life.” The longtime West Virginia Democrat who turned independent this year squashed rumors that he would be going up against Harris in November’s election during an interivew on CBS Monday morning. “I’m not running for office,” Manchin said

Kamala Harris Quotes That Prove We’re Living in Veep Only a year and a half into the current administration, it’s hard to believe that our nation’s top ‘girl boss,’ Vice President Kamala Harris, has produced such a high volume of wisdom. There is no denying that Harris has a way with words. From complex foreign policy explanations to groundbreaking musings on the COVID-19 pandemic, our VP has been a sage for the people. Here’s my favorite philosophical soliloquy (because it sounds as though she’s shouting her stream of consciousness into a void) from our babbler-in-chief: "The governor and I, we...

New research has uncovered that sleep can be detected by brief, millisecond-long brain activity, highlighting that individual brain regions can independently switch between sleep and wake states, which could impact the understanding of neurological diseases. =================================================================== The study broadly reveals how fast brain waves, previously overlooked, establish fundamental patterns of sleep and wakefulness. Scientists have developed a new method to analyze sleep and wake states by detecting ultra-fast neuronal activity patterns, just milliseconds long, challenging traditional understandings based on slower brain waves. This research also uncovered that individual brain regions can briefly transition between sleep and wake independently, revealing complex,...

Hunter Biden quietly dropped his defamation and “revenge porn” lawsuit against Fox News hours after his father announced he will not be seeking reelection, shaking up the Democratic party and the 2024 presidential contest. Three weeks ago, Hunter Biden filed the high-profile lawsuit against Fox News for a fictional series the network ran depicting him on trial for criminal charges related to his foreign business dealings.

Since the whole dynamic of the 2024 race for the presidency was totally upended in the aftermath of President Biden’s abysmal performance in the Trump-Biden debate on CNN on June 27, former president Donald Trump has done few interviews – preferring to allow Biden to twist in the wind. The failed assassination attempt on Trump on July 13 in Pennsylvania went further in resetting the Election 2024 race. The contest is now seen as the Republicans’ to lose. Yesterday’s historic news that President Biden was abruptly ending his campaign for a second term, and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as...
