Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferer Rosie O’Donnell took to TikTok over the weekend to tell her followers about her mental struggles due to the upcoming 2024 election. On Saturday, O’Donnell called Trump an “authoritative dictator” after admitting she is receiving help from a therapist to help her cope with her TDS. “The whole thing is very very unnerving. It’s very unnerving,” she said.

Most Gazans approve of Hamas’s decision to launch the war on October 7 and would prefer Hamas rule over the US-backed Palestinian Authority A book by Hitler is discovered in the house of Ahmed Samarah (photo credit: IDF SPOKESPERSON UNIT) In June, Fadi al-Wadiya, a physiotherapist from Doctors Without Borders, was killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza. Doctors Without Borders quickly took to social media, condemning the “abhorrent” attack in multiple languages in a post that received millions of views and thousands of shares. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) responded by publishing photographic evidence that al-Wadiya was an operative...

Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race today and endorsed his pro-abortion vice president Kamala Harris to take his place as the Democrat nominee. While Biden has become the most pro-abortion president in American history, Kamala Harris might be even worse. Harris would fight tooth and nail to impose abortions up to birth on the country nationwide. SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser called out Kamala’s pro-abortion record in comments to LifeNews.com. “Kamala Harris is determined to impose on all 50 states all-trimester abortion without any limits, even painful late-term abortions in the 7th, 8th, and 9th month of...

As an Israeli journalist observing this train wreck, the lesson is clear: honesty is the best policy in politics, as in life. Now, Biden’s legacy and the Democratic Party’s future hang in the balance The circus that is American politics never fails to entertain, but the latest act has been more tragicomedy than usual. US President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, followed by his endorsement of Kamala Harris, has pulled the rug from under the Democrats. Yet, the real scandal isn't Biden’s decision to step down—it's the deceitful cover-up by his advisors that led to this debacle....

Critics slammed CNN after anchor John King said there were “risks” in putting forward Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as the Democratic vice presidential nominee because “he’s Jewish.” “He’s certainly under consideration,” King said on CNN Sunday night, referencing discussions with allies of Vice President Kamala Harris. “He’s a first-term governor, he’s Jewish, there could be some risks in putting him on the ticket, but certainly some of our voters here in Pennsylvania said, ‘Hey, we like Gov. Shapiro, give him a look,'” he added. The popular X account StopAntisemitism underscored the hateful comment by pointing out how different the response...

Washington — Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle is testifying Monday before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee about the security failures that allowed a 20-year-old gunman to open fire on former President Donald Trump and a crowd of his supporters at a rally more than a week ago. Cheatle has come under significant pressure to resign in the aftermath of the assassination attempt, in which Trump and two others were injured and one rally attendee was killed. The FBI identified Thomas Matthew Crooks as the shooter, and he was killed by a Secret Service sniper. Lawmakers have questioned how Crooks...

COMMENT: A friend of mine insisted I read you because you have real experience. I tuned in only so I could argue with my friend. I raise the white flag. You said they would only allow Biden to be on the ticket and nobody else because he would drop out after the RNC event, and they would draft someone for August. You said we do not live in a democracy but a republic, and we are no different than Russia giving 71-year-old ladies prison time for a protest. I guess that is like Russia. You even said they would try...

As my wife and son and I awaited the start of the debate, before Biden tottered up to the podium to his mumblecore destiny, I said to my son: “I’m telling you my suspicion now, rather than after. I think the date of this debate is the most important thing about it.” My son asked why. OK, how’s this? ... Think outside the box, Joe.-Why wait till October, with everything on the line? Cut it back to just two debates. And here’s the beauty part, Joe: Do the first debate six weeks before the convention! It’ll be radical, three months...

The Freedom From Religion Foundation has reached a settlement on behalf of The Satanic Temple (TST), according to a recent press release, after a judge ruled the Shelby County Board of Education in Memphis, TN, violated TST’s First Amendment rights by trying to stop the formation of an “After School Satan Club. It’s not an unexpected blow, given that The Satanic Temple is “the only Satanic religious organization recognized as a church by the IRS and the Federal court system.” In this case, the after-school club was advertised as consisting of” fun” and “exciting” activities for the children, including science...

Donald Trump has guaranteed to end the war in Ukraine if elected president, vowing to do so before his first day in office. The recent outpouring of support for Donald Trump has led world leaders to consider the possibility of a second Trump presidency. Perhaps no one would dread a second Trump term more than Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, who Trump has deemed the greatest salesman in history for extorting the west for hundreds of billions while providing nothing in return. In an interview with the BBC, Zelensky suggested that Donald Trump simply doesn’t understand the war in Ukraine. Zelensky is...

Voters thought the faltering president was too old, but allies looked the other way, advisers defended his abilities and the Democratic Party boxed out other candidates ... Biden had just finished trying to persuade a group of congressional Democrats to pass a $1 trillion infrastructure bill when Nancy Pelosi, then the House speaker, took the microphone. In 30 minutes of remarks on Capitol Hill, Biden had spoken disjointedly and failed to make a concrete ask of lawmakers, according to Democrats in the room. After he left, a visibly frustrated Pelosi told the group she would articulate what Biden had been...

An “increased risk” exists that at least $293 million in U.S. aid disbursed by the State Department in Afghanistan between March and November 2022 could fall into the Taliban’s hands, a new report finds. Two subagencies of the State Department—the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor and the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs—provided incomplete documentation and therefore could not establish that they had complied with counterterrorism vetting requirements, the report says. The report was prepared by the Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, or SIGAR. Members of the Taliban have attempted to capture...

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Monday said Vice President Harris has his “full support” as she runs for president, while applauding President Biden for putting the “country first” and withdrawing from the 2024 race. “I am very excited to throw my full support behind the vice president. I have seen her work as a prosecutor, as an attorney general, as a senator, as vice president,” Schiff said on NBC News’s “Today.” “I’m very excited to work with her as president. I haven’t seen this kind of excitement in the Democratic Party in quite a long time. People are really energized.”

President Biden hesitated to drop his re-election campaign in part because he and his senior advisers worried that Vice President Kamala Harris wasn't up to taking on Donald Trump, according to three Biden aides familiar with recent talks about his plans. Why it matters: Biden, 81, ultimately decided to withdraw under pressure from the party and endorsed Harris, but his private anxieties reflect broader questions among some Democratic leaders about Harris as their nominee this November. Driving the news: This next week will be critical for Harris, 59, to prove doubters wrong as she moves quickly to try to clear...

“Prop 1, the Ranked Choice Voting and Open Primaries ballot initiative, qualified to be on the general election ballot this November. If Prop 1 passes, this will be the end of the Idaho Democratic Party. The promise of Prop 1 is to allow Democrats and Independents to have a voice by choosing Republican candidates, but it also means the Republicans will be voting for Democrat candidates. This includes precinct committeemen (PCs) who elect the leadership of the Democratic Party. Imagine a concerted effort by Republicans to run for Democrat party Pc races (or maybe this is already underway). Same play...

VIDEOMorning Joe's little sidekick, Willie Geist, has switched fantasies from this version of Biden being the best version ever to suddenly declaring Kamala Harris to be an eloquent and brilliant debater. Really Willie? Perhaps in Morning Joe World but in the real world we already had a taste of Kamala's debating "skills." Was Kamala's encounter with Tulsi Gabbard during the 2020 election primary debates the best version of Kamala Harris ever?

A patented experimental propellantless propulsion drive is finally ready to go to space, according to its inventor, a veteran NASA scientist with decades of expertise in electrostatics. [Multiple Videos at Site] Dr. Charles Buhler, the technology’s creator, says the propulsion system may represent a working version of Quantized Inertia, a theory first proposed by University of Plymouth professor Mike McCulloch. The proposition has been subjected to criticism from mainstream scientists in the past because it seemingly violates Newton’s third law of motion. The controversial technology, which The Debrief covered in April, is privately owned by Exodus Propulsion Technologies and is...

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday after President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race. As Breitbart News reported Sunday, Joe Biden issued a history-making decision unseen since Democrat Lyndon Baines Johnson refused to seek reelection in 1968. “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” Biden’s statement read. “And while it has been my intention to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President...

Below, I have posted my comments, FReeper threads and comments, followed by the three X.com posts in Biden's account used to withdraw him from the 2024 election.On Free Republic, there are posts and threads asking questions like, "Where's Joe Biden?" and "Who on Earth is running the country?" A Freeper commented that Biden's schedule is blank and he hasn't been seen for 5 days. If Biden is not running the country, then who is in charge of this coup d' etat?The Washington Post published an extremely biased assessment of the fighting in Israeli, noting that Netanyahu is traveling to Washington...
