A 51-second clip of Kamala Harris‘ worst moment of her brief 2020 presidential campaign began making the rounds on social media shortly after Joe Biden announced he was dropping out of the 2024 race. The video featured Harris, then a senator from California, and then-Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii during a presidential debate.

Something is very, very wrong with Biden.

U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who came under scrutiny for the agency's failure to prevent the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, has resigned, according to two sources familiar with the decision.

ROME — Pope Francis has called for a ceasefire to armed conflicts to mark the Olympic Games that begin in Paris this week. “Sport also has a great social power, and it can peacefully unite people from different cultures,” the pontiff told crowds gathered in Saint Peter’s Square for his weekly Angelus address Sunday. The pope added that the Olympic Games provide a unique opportunity to bear witness to the “inclusive world we want to build,” and exhorted the Olympic athletes to offer a “sporting testimony” as “messengers of peace and authentic models for young people.”

President Joe Biden reaffirmed his commitment to the 2024 campaign despite stepping aside from the presidential race, while Vice President Kamala Harris stepped into the spotlight as the presumptive nominee. During a phone call to Harris's campaign team in Wilmington, Delaware, Biden declared, "I'm not going anywhere," signaling his intention to remain actively involved in the upcoming election.

Joe Biden has endorsed Kamala Harris for president. This does NOT mean that Kamala Harris is the Democratic nominee. The official nominee will be declared at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on August 19. Democrats should be livid that their party never offered them an alternative to Biden. They refused to permit any candidate to challenge Biden and ignored anyone who came forward. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. changed party affiliations for numerous reasons, but one major reason was that he simply was ignored in favor of the establishment’s selected candidate. Of course, Joe Biden had to appoint Kamala Harris....

Recent polling suggests that Kamala Harris will not beat Trump if she goes head to head with him in November. A nationwide poll taken the week before the assassination attempt against Trump, put Trump on 44% and Harris on 36%, with RFK Jr., Chase Oliver, Jill Stein and Cornel West trailing far behind on 6%, 1%, 1%, and 1% respectively. In a direct head to head, Trump would beat Harris by 2%, with 6% undecided. ….……………… A more recent poll, released on Sunday, showed that Trump beats Harris 51% to 46%, a margin of 5%, in Georgia. This poll was...

Kamala Harris’ office has had a staggering 91.5 percent turnover rate since she became vice president, an investigation from government watchdog organization Open The Books (OTB) revealed on Monday. Of the 47 staff members hired when Harris took office in 2021, only four reportedly remained in her employment as of March 2024. The report comes as Biden’s X account announced he will “stand down” from his reelection campaign and “fully support” Harris as the new nominee. OTB utilized U.S. Senate disclosures to obtain records from the vice president’s office, including 2021 and 2024 payrolls. “Chaos reigns on the vice president’s...

It’s not just that Democrat Party elites ended Biden’s reelection campaign, they also ended his presidency.There was a moment on Monday during Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee that brought into sharp focus the unsettling reality of our political situation.At one point, Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a Florida Democrat, took Cheatle to task for refusing to take full responsibility for the failure of her agency to prevent the assassination attempt on Trump. He said he and others were calling for Cheatle to resign or — and here’s the key part — “for the president to fire...

Oscar-winning actor George Clooney hailed President Biden as a hero for “saving democracy” and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris — just two weeks after calling on the president to drop out of the election in a scathing op-ed. “President Biden has shown what true leadership is. He’s saving democracy once again. We’re all so excited to do whatever we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest,” Clooney told CNN in a statement Tuesday. The 63-year-old actor’s endorsement comes nearly two weeks after he called for a new candidate in an op-ed published in the New York Times...

What can a Big Mac tell us about currency rates? As it turns out, quite a lot.The Big Mac Index, created by The Economist in 1986, started out as a simple tool to make currency theory more digestible. Now, it’s a widely-known measure in popular economics to assess and compare currency valuations.In short, the Big Mac index compares the purchasing power parity (PPP) of currencies using the price of a Big Mac in the U.S. as the benchmark. It shows how much a Big Mac costs in various countries compared to the U.S., but it also works as a way...

Large groups of people in Asian countries believe that the U.S. democracy used to be a good example for others to follow, but isn't anymore.Some also believe that it has never been a good example.Put together, Statista's Katharina Buchholz reports that this means that a majority in six out of nine Asian countries surveyed by Pew Research Center don't consider the U.S. a beacon of democracy (anymore).You will find more infographics at StatistaThe exception are three countries from South Asia - India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh - an interesting result given how the largest of them has recently attempted the...

"The leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges." Two days ago, I wrote that ‘The Dem Civil War is Over Who Will Replace Biden”. The battle would be between the faction lining up behind Kamala and the one pushing some sort of limited primary. Biden’s tweet endorsed Kamala. Hillary came forward to back her too. DNC chair Jamie Harrison, who actually has the power here, however issued a statement saying that, “the Party will undertake a transparent and orderly process to move forward as a united Democratic Party with a...

The knives are out. It’s drowned out now that cash is pouting into the Democratic Party coffers once Joe Biden bowed out of the 2024 race, but it’s there. There’s infighting within the Biden family after the president’s brother, Frank, said health concerns likely influenced his brother’s decision to drop out. In return, other members of the family, through their sources, leaked that Frank shouldn’t be trusted because he’s a recovering alcoholic—what a family. Now, Biden’s orbit is leaking details about why the soon-to-be ex-president felt Kamala Harris didn’t have the chops to be president.It's ironic in the extreme since...

Elon Musk has made destroying “the woke mind virus” one of his top goals and the reason is very personal.In an interview with Canadian psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson, the Tesla CEO and founder says his son is figuratively dead because of it.Musk explained that he was “tricked” into signing off on puberty blockers for his son, Xavier, who now goes by Vivian Jenna Wilson."It happened to one of my older boys, where I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier,” he told Peterson when asked what he thought about physicians performing irreversible procedures on...

What could go wrong? Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas named Janet Napolitano to a panel investigating the Secret Service failures that allowed Trump to be shot. Napolitano, Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary, was at the nexus of the investigation over Fast and Furious, an Obama administration program that helped smuggle guns to cartels in order to impose gun control on Americans that backfired and led to the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. After claiming that she knew nothing about, she now gets to sit on a panel investigating another federal government arm that claims it knew nothing about its...

This is getting serious. Joe Biden has not been seen in public in five days. His last appearance was when he slowly and painfully exited Air Force One on Wednesday night. This is the last time Joe Biden was seen. It was five days ago. Nobody knows where he is, what he’s doing, if he’s okay, or who is running the country at the moment.pic.twitter.com/ozT7YBYhVW— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) July 22, 2024His absence from the public eye is enough to make anyone a conspiracy theorist. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) demanded "proof of life" by 5 p.m. on Monday. That deadline came...

Joe Biden's decision to drop out surprised many. His defiance for weeks seemed unshakeable, and even top campaign officials were reportedly unaware that a decision had be made until the final minutes before his letter was posted to X/Twitter. The question on everyone's mind is, of course, how did it happen? Did Biden have an epiphany? Did he look at polling data before bravely and selflessly deciding to call it quits? Not. Even. Close. Sources have informed the New York Post that top Democratic Party operatives threatened to forcibly remove Joe Biden from office if he didn't voluntarily drop out...
