In a candid discussion, Harris acknowledged he used to defend Biden’s mental acuity by separating the president’s communication struggles from his decision-making abilities. “It’s at least intelligible to say, ‘Okay, he’s not a good communicator. He was never a good communicator, he’s only getting worse,’” Harris said. “You can’t reliably stick him in front of a microphone and trust that something good is gonna come out of his mouth.” Harris once accepted the idea that while Biden fumbled public speaking engagements, he was still competent when it came to deliberating important issues in private. “The truth is… when you sit...

What was the most under-reported news story during the Biden presidency? In the last week or so, there has been a sudden burst of recognition of the extent to which Democrats and the media worked together to cover up Biden’s progressing cognitive decline. One media figure after another has come forward to call this the “most under-reported” story of the last year or several years. Some examples among many include: CBS correspondent Jan Crawford on December 30 (“That [the most under-reported story] would be, to me, Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in a televised debate"); Rolling Stone,...

President-elect Donald Trump shared a ruthless highlight reel of Democrats repeatedly praising President Biden’s mental sharpness, sharing it soon after a veteran reporter blasted those who helped hide his “obvious cognitive decline.” Trump shared the brutal supercut hours after CBS News reporter Jan Crawford ripped the media for helping to cover up the eldest-ever president’s decline until it was too obvious to ignore at the debate. The nearly three-minute-long video — set to the goofy Wii theme music — started with White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre appearing baffled that someone would even dare question Biden’s mental acuity. “Oh my...

WASHINGTON — The National Archives has finally released photos showing then-Vice President Biden meeting with two of first son Hunter Biden’s Chinese government-linked business partners — again proving that the president lied about not interacting with his family’s foreign patrons. The cache of photos, released long after their potential political salience and days before Biden retires on Jan. 20, also show Chinese President Xi Jinping grinning as then-Vice President Biden introduced his son during the same December 2013 trip to Beijing.

Joe Biden has proudly referenced his roots in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on countless occasions. But after he pardoned a judge involved in a cash-for-kids program that jailed thousands of juveniles in northeastern Pennsylvania, the Electric City is no longer feeling that spark of love. The newly elected Pennsylvania Republican State Rep. Brenda Pugh called on officials in Scranton to remove Biden’s name from expressways labeled in his honor after he pardoned former Luzerne County Judge Michael Conahan. ... That now-disgraced official was convicted after taking kickbacks in exchange for sending juveniles to jail for committing minor crimes, or committing no crime...

As is usual for the year 2024, we are in uncharted waters. The Presidential Pardon is one of the only plenary powers that a president has. This power is one of the only ones that has nearly no restrictions or controls. The Founders granted the president this power with the thought that we would never have a truly criminal president. The Framers of the Constitution modeled portions of our system on the British system of governance; in particular, the Pardon. The King of England was able to pardon individuals, and so were the governors of the American colonies. It was,...

Donald Trump Jr. ripped into President Joe Biden on Friday for issuing a pardon to a Chinese national who pleaded guilty to possessing tens of thousands of images of child pornography. On Thursday, Biden issued an executive grant of clemency to Shanlin Jin, a Chinese national who pleaded guilty to possessing 47,000 images of child pornography on his computer. He was arrested in January of 2021 while studying for a Ph.D. at Southern Methodist University in Texas. "Why on earth would Joe Biden commute/pardon a Chinese national in jail for possessing 47,000 child porn images? Oh, unless the Chinese Communist...

Is he the Ghost of Christmas Past — or just another Scrooge? President Biden shocked attendees at the White House’s National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on Thursday night when he doffed his stocking cap to reveal long, wispy locks — appearing more like a character out of Charles Dickens’ Yuletide classic than the commander-in-chief. His white, billowy hair stood on end from the wool cap’s static electricity, spooking the White House press corps by making him seem older — and ghostlier — than usual. The shocking portraits of the 82-year-old president immediately began circulating online, earning him comparisons to the...

What will be Joe Biden's legacy as President? Vice President, and Senator?

Let's be honest here. The only thing shocking about Joe Biden pardoning his son, Hunter, was the timing. He was always going to do it. I think most people, myself included, figured he'd wait until January. Now, this pardon will cast a shadow over the final weeks of Biden’s presidency, but let’s face it: Joe does not care. Predictably, some on the left are already applauding him, hailing it as the act of a “good father,” and so on. However, it's time to cut through the noise. While the pardon was technically on Hunter's behalf, it’s clear that this move...

President Biden jokingly urged a roomful of Democratic donors and insiders not to jump in the White House pool at a weekend dinner to thank them before he leaves office. But some attendees still felt all wet after the election. (snip) We hear that guests included big donors and Biden’s cabinet, as well as friends and others who have been super-supportive of the Bidens through the years. Former and current ambassadors came in for the elite event. Spotted among the crowd was former Democratic vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz and his wife, Gwen, who were chatting with Secretary of...

Only about 100 people showed up at a Harris campaign event in Scranton, Pennsylvania, to hear an angry President Joe Biden speak about smacking former President Donald Trump on the ass. The lack of interest in Harris’s event suggested a low level of enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris. During Biden’s remarks, he said he would like to “smack” Trump’s ass.

Biden bites a baby during a trick-or-treaters celebration for Halloween at the White House in Washington

It seems like Joe Biden keeps getting worse every day—and the American people are noticing. Whether making things up or just being incoherent, he keeps deteriorating. He has terrible approval numbers, and the majority have made it clear that they don't think he should be running again. So you wouldn't expect people to be jumping up and down with glee that, at least at this point, he appears to be running. But when people were asked for the one word they thought of when they thought of Joe Biden, the response had to be making the Biden team tear their...

The Biden administration promised this week to ban “conversion therapy” for minors who claim they are members of the opposite sex. The push is wrapped up in the Biden administration’s attempt to repress religious liberty, and attempts to codify the claim that people can select which sex they wish to be.

We’ve long known about Biden’s disturbing habits around little girls but his latest remark about nakedness and blackmail raises his creep factor to new heights. Over the years, Joe Biden’s predilection for sniffing and pawing little girls has been the subject of a great deal of commentary. Video after video shows him groping them, whispering to them and, always, sniffing them. He’s the original creepy uncle, and he certainly raised a very creepy son. Yesterday, Biden took the creepiness to a whole new level when he discussed “a new civil rights cause of action” for people whose naked images ended...

The issue of transgender ‘rights’ is hot right now because more people are beginning to understand that they are waging a rights war on women and girls. Recently, at the Wi Spa in Los Angeles, a man escorted by two self-professed lesbian activists paraded his intact male genitalia around in the area of the spa supposedly reserved for the female clientele (including very young girls). California Civil Code 51(b) is being interpreted as meaning that male indecent exposure is now legally acceptable. Which means that adult males can parade around exposed in full view of young girls and claim this...

Because he never liked being used by his father.

We now know that approximately one third of the explicit photos of minors in Hunter Biden’s laptop were of the same 14-year-old girl — who is one of his relatives, according a shocking new report. According to Revolver News not only were there inappropriate photos of the child on her own, but Hunter Biden was in some of the photos with her. (snip) Following the news of this salacious content on the Hunter Biden laptop Dinesh D’Souza was the first to link this criminal behavior to Joe Biden’s previously reported groping and sniffing of children.

According to sources, Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett has adopted her 8th child, a troubled local youngster named Hunter. In a touching story of love triumphing over all odds, the Barrett family fought for custody of Hunter and welcomed him into their family for the first time this week. "This family has love to spare," said Judge Barrett. "We just knew we had another child out there somewhere. We were told by the agency that young Hunter had his fair share of issues, but we knew we would be up to the challenge." According to friends of the family,...
