  • Begala: Democrats’ Credibility Isn’t Hurt at All by Biden Decline, They Were ‘Hoping That He Was Doing Fine’

    05/21/2025 7:02:25 AM PDT · by Tench_Coxe · 41 replies
    On Tuesday’s broadcast of NPR’s “All Things Considered,” CNN Contributor and Democratic strategist Paul Begala said that the revelations about then-President Joe Biden’s mental fitness don’t impact the credibility of the Democratic Party at all and “I don’t think any Democrat who’s going to be facing voters in the midterms was at all complicit.” And there were “a whole bunch of politicians who understandably were rooting for him and hoping that he was doing fine, but they didn’t know.”Co-host Mary Louise Kelly asked, “What does this mean to your party’s ability to hold President Trump, his administration, and Republicans accountable...
  • Jake Tapper says the media didn't cover up Biden's 'Original Sin': 'We were just lied to'

    Eleven minutes into the June 27 presidential debate, CNN anchor Dana Bash slipped a note to her colleague Jake Tapper after President Biden gave a rambling, incoherent answer. "He just lost the election," she wrote The event at the network's Atlanta studios — recounted in Tapper's and Axios correspondent Alex Thompson's new book, "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again" — turned out to be the most consequential presidential debate in history
  • Can Zelenskyy convince Trump that Putin is stringing him along?

    Politico ^ | May 16, 2025 | Jamie Dettmer
    In the surreal dance Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin have been engaged in for months, both want Donald Trump to see the other as the obstacle to peace. For now, the Ukrainian leader is winning. The latest evidence comes from the peace talks in Istanbul that Trump had promoted ― the first direct negotiation between the two sides since the start of the war. Zelenskyy had the courtesy to show up while his Russian counterpart was a no-show, sending instead a relatively low-level delegation, described by Zelenskyy as merely “decorative.” Could this be the moment Trump finally concedes that Putin...

    Ezekiel Emanuel said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that there are a lot of life-extending treatments available to treat former President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer. Emanuel said, “When you have a lesion that’s in the bone, and therefore it’s metastatic and incurable, the prostate cancer will not go away. He will have it, that doesn’t mean he’s going to die from it because there are a lot of treatments. There’s androgen blockade that’s basically preventing the testosterone from circulating. There’s also androgen receptor signaling inhibitors, a second line of treatment that prevents, when the androgen does bind to the cell...
  • CNN’s Pérez: Biden’s Struggles in Hur Interview Could’ve Been Due to Fatigue, Not His Decline

    On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” CNN Senior Justice Correspondent Evan Pérez reacted to audio of then-President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur by saying that the interview took place right after the October 7 attack when Biden “had spent that entire time, obviously, on the phone and working long hours.” And so you could wonder if Biden’s struggles in the interview are “because of fatigue” or due to his decline. After agreeing with host Jake Tapper that Biden’s decline got particularly bad in 2023, Pérez stated, “They did not want this to come out before the...

    Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) said Tuesday on CNN’s “News Central” that President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees could face holds until Attorney General Pam Bondi provides “answers” to Congress on the $400 million jet from Qatar. Shaheen said, “With respect to Qatar and the plane, I think there are serious constitutional questions about this, but there are also questions about national security. Sadly, the president doesn’t seem to be too concerned about national security. He’s been willing to allow his secretary of defense to engage in classified discussions over unclassified channels. He has, again, looking at accepting this plane without thinking...

    July 1, 2002The "Fuzzy Math" of Fluoride Promotion By Paul Connett, PhD (ggvideo@northnet.org) Many of you may have probably heard the term "fuzzy math" before. It is a term used to describe a somewhat controversial method of teaching math where the answers do not have to be EXACTLY right. But at the very least, they are supposed to be close. Unfortunately, many of those promoting the practice of water fluoridation would fail to meet even these basic "fuzzy math" guidelines, with methods better described as "hairy" than "fuzzy". And "fuzzy math" is supposed to be a temporary teaching tool...
  • Trump made historic gains with minority voters in 2024. They are already pulling back in 2025 (BARF ALERT)

    CNN ^ | Sun May 11, 2025 | Ronald Brownstein
    Several of the key voter groups that provided President Donald Trump’s most important electoral gains in November are recoiling from him as his term moves past the 100-day mark. But it remains unclear how much Democrats can benefit from these growing doubts. In 2024, Trump improved his performance among some big voting blocs that have historically favored Democrats, including Latinos, younger men, non-White voters without a college degree, and, to some extent, Black men. Trump’s advances generated exuberant predictions from an array of right-leaning analysts that he had achieved a lasting realignment and cemented the GOP’s hold on voters of...
  • Bill Gates to Give Away $260 Billion by 2045, Says Musk is 'Killing' World's Poorest Children

    Bill Gates pledged on Thursday (May 8) to give away $200 billion (S$260 billion) via his charitable foundation by 2045 and lashed out at Elon Musk, accusing the world's richest man of "killing the world's poorest children" through huge cuts to the US foreign aid budget. The 69-year-old billionaire co-founder of Microsoft said he was speeding up his plans to divest almost all of his fortune and would close the foundation on Dec 31, 2045, years earlier than previously planned. Gates said he believed the money would help achieve several of his goals, such as eradicating diseases like polio and...

    A federal judge in New York on Tuesday indefinitely blocked the Trump Administration from deporting Tren de Aragua gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. In his order granting a preliminary injunction enjoining the enforcement of the Alien Enemies Act in his district, Judge Hellerstein said illegal aliens have the same due process rights as American citizens. “This nation was founded on the “self-evident” truths “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, [and] that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Declaration of Independence, at ¶ 2...

    With the new mineral rights deal between Washington, D.C., and Kyiv, President Donald Trump fulfilled his pledge to hold Ukraine financially accountable for the billions of dollars that has already been provided in military assistance. This now opens a new avenue for the U.S. to provide weaponry to the country without using any taxpayer funds. Following months of discussions, the deal was signed on Wednesday. It established a common investment fund to which both countries will contribute, including through the sale of mineral rights, oil, and gas licenses in Ukraine — with a 50/50 profit split. The agreement states that...

    President Donald Trump said Sunday that his tariff policy will substantially reduce, even completely eliminate, income taxes for some American workers. “When Tariffs cut in, many people’s Income Taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated,” Trump wrote in a 6:06 a.m. post on Truth Social. “Focus will be on people making less than $200,000 a year.” Trump continued, “Also, massive numbers of jobs are already being created, with new plants and factories currently being built or planned. It will be a BONANZA FOR AMERICA!!! THE EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE IS HAPPENING!!!

    First, he ruffled feathers with his oddly cheerful remark about looking forward to attending Pope Francis's funeral. Now, US President Donald Trump is once again under fire for his 'disrespectful behavior' at Pope Francis's funeral today on April 26, sparking online fury. At the open-air funeral mass in St Peter’s Square, international leaders, cardinals, presidents and prime ministers gathered to pay their final respects to the leader of the Catholic Church. Trump along with his wife Melania was present too, seated in the front row, contrary to the rumours of them being pushed to the third row. Pope and Trump...

    The Maryland senator put a wedge between Trump and Salvadoran dictator Bukele and showed Democrats how to find their spines. On Sunday, Senator Chris Van Hollen conquered all five morning talk shows. He was by far the most coveted guest after his return from El Salvador, where he stood down the country’s despot and secured a meeting with the illegally deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Van Hollen delivered love from Abrego Garcia’s family and his growing legion of advocates and proved that the 29-year-old father is alive and safe—at least for now.

    In a bold and somewhat cryptic statement that’s turning heads and raising eyebrows across the globe, White House tech chief Michael Kratsios claimed the United States has cutting-edge technology capable of “bending time and space.” ...... Snip...... While Kratsios’ statement lacked specifics—no surprise given the likely classified nature of such tech—it lines up with something President Trump has hinted at for years, namely that the US is holding advanced capabilities that the public has never seen. Just last week, Trump told reporters, “We have weaponry that nobody has any idea what it is. And it is the most powerful in...

Before President Trump reached his seats he greeted DNI Tulsi Gabbard, FBI Director Kash Patel, HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr….. But NOT his wife Cheryl Hines who he skipped over. Ouch!

    WASHINGTON — Russia could be forced to end the war in Ukraine because it will run out of money to pay its troops, according to experts at the DC-based Institute for the Study of War. The country has burned through roughly half of its $106 billion liquid sovereign-wealth fund, which is used to pay troops’ salaries and new recruits bonuses, experts said. Moscow can likely only afford another 12 to 16 months of fighting at its current pace, with about 30,000 to 45,000 Russian troops killed or injured in Ukraine each month since its 2022 invasion began, ISW’s Russia team...

    President Donald Trump was forced to backtrack on his sweeping tariff plans because of a 'fire sale' in the bond market which could have triggered economic meltdown. Alongside causing turmoil in the stock market, Trump's sweeping tariff plans sparked a major US government bonds sell-off, the likes of which had not been seen since the depths of the Covid-19 crisis. Experts are saying that it was this, rather than simply the 'art of the deal,' which caused the White House to backtrack on its tariff proposals. On Wednesday, the President announced a 90-day pause on all new 'reciprocal' tariffs, in...

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's campaign against DEI has affected one aspect of Air Force life after another. Government-funded observances of Black History Month, National Hispanic Heritage Month and other cultural awareness events were canceled. Coursework and videos that celebrated diversity, equity and inclusion were stripped from the basic training curriculum at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland. Tributes to pathbreaking Black aviators and other notable minorities were removed from military websites. Jobs, contracts and trainings that promoted diversity were eliminated.Now, however, the Air Force is walking back one element of the DEI purge.
