President Biden on Tuesday made his first public appearance since dropping out of the 2024 presidential race, arriving at Dover Air Force Base ahead of a planned return to the White House. Biden, 81, saluted and smiled as he got out of his motorcade and walked slowly toward Air Force One while reporters shouted questions at him asking how he felt. “Well,’’ the president responded twice. He then lumbered toward the jet and held onto its railing as he slowly climbed up the steps, holding a blue COVID mask in his left hand.

When President Joe Biden began his campaign trip in Las Vegas last week, everything seemed to be running as smoothly as it could for an 81-year-old president in physical and cognitive decline. The day before he abruptly left town, Biden delivered the keynote address in front of a packed crowd of almost five thousand people at the NAACP National Convention at the Mandalay Bay hotel. On Wednesday, Biden was scheduled to deliver the keynote at the UnidosUS annual convention at the MGM Grand, with thousands in attendance anticipating his arrival. With the venue located right off the Las Vegas Strip,...

During an interview with CNN on Sunday, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), who was a co-Chair of the Biden Campaign, responded to calls for President Joe Biden to resign by stating that Biden has demonstrated his ability on international issues and that he “has more experience in foreign policy than any national leader, and to have him step aside now, I think would be a grave disservice to our nation and a profound disrespect to his legacy and his lifetime of service.”

President Biden’s announcement that he was dropping out of the 2024 race stunned a number of White House staffers who believed he would stay the course. Many reportedly learned of the historic news from social media. “We’re all finding out by tweet,” one Democrat close to the matter told Politico. “None of us understand what’s happening.” Biden campaign workers in Delaware, where Biden has been holing up since Wednesday when he was diagnosed with COVID-19, were still operating business as usual right up until the announcement, placing calls to delegates ahead of the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

President Joe Biden is reportedly fed up with his pals, former President Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over what many are calling a coup d’état within the Democratic Party’s nomination process. Several people close to Biden told the New York Times on Friday that the embattled president sees Pelosi as “the main instigator” and Obama as “the puppet master behind the scenes” in efforts to remove him from the 2024 race. Biden’s anger seems to be triggered by a plethora of leaks and stories from anonymous sources suggesting he has considered passing the torch to a successor,...

REHOBOTH, Del. — As President Joe Biden faces a wave of new calls from elected officials to end his re-election bid, his political allies are actively exploring ways to publicly demonstrate he still has widespread support among key elements of the Democratic Party’s base, according to three Democrats familiar with the discussions. In some cases, the demonstrations of support are organic, coming from organizations and constituencies that are concerned the party infighting is hurting their goal of defeating Donald Trump. They include Black clergy members, as well as Latino community leaders and progressive activists to show grassroots support for the...

Joe Biden said Friday that he looks forward to getting back on the campaign trail “next week” as more Democrats are publicly calling for the president to step aside in the 2024 race. “I look forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week to continue exposing the threat of Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda while making the case for my own record and the vision that I have for America: one where we save our democracy, protect our rights and freedoms, and create opportunity for everyone,” Biden said in a statement issued by his campaign Friday. “The stakes...

When Joe Biden finally leaves the White House, he is set to get a pay raise. Because of his nearly 50 years in federal office, first as a senator, then vice president, and now .. his pension will be at least $13,000 higher than his current salary of $400,000, according to a National Taxpayers Union Foundation report. “Joe Biden represents a unique situation. With his long tenure in Congress and subsequent years as vice president and president, Joe Biden stands to benefit significantly from both systems, potentially receiving a combined payout starting at around $413,000,” said NTUF’s Demian Brady, vice...

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said she will not be stepping down from her role in the wake of the attempted assassination of former President Trump.

For ten years, Donald Trump has haunted the dreams of Democrats. They couldn't beat him in 2016, and in 2020, they had to weaponize a pandemic and invent scandals to defeat him. But in 2024, the strategy of making Donald Trump the primary issue of the campaign has backfired. The Biden "basement campaign" of 2020 can't be duplicated because there's no current pandemic to keep the president hidden from public view. And putting Biden out in the open where his infirmities are on full display has proven to be a disaster. So Democrats are running around with their hair on...

Biden was never a Senator from Pennsylvania. The brain is gone.

Delaware lawmakers voted last week to require private insurance companies and Medicaid to fund abortion in the state. The measure passed by a party-line vote of 15-6. HB 110 covers a maximum benefit of $750 annually — a sum lawmakers say will cover the cost of a chemical abortion, more commonly known as the abortion pill. Legislative analysts used data from the Delaware Division of Medicaid and Medical Assistance to estimate that nearly 85% of the state’s abortions are committed via the abortion pill. The bill also mandates that insurance providers cannot charge any co-pays, impose deductibles, or require any...

CNN — President Joe Biden’s family remains “all in” on him remaining in the 2024 race even as questions swirl about the future of his candidacy, a source familiar with the family’s thinking said. “There is no change,” the source said. “The first lady is all in. The family’s all in.” First lady Jill Biden, the president’s closest confidant, was on the road in the battleground state of Michigan ahead of a Wednesday evening return.

First lady Jill Biden’s ex-husband has joined the chorus of people slamming her for apparently encouraging President Biden to stay in the election after his disastrous debate performance. “The Dr. Jill Biden who I’ve seen on TV in the last five years is not the same person I married or that I recognize in any way,” Bill Stevenson, who was married to Jill from 1970 to 1975, told The Post Saturday. “She’s matriculated into a completely different woman.” Stevenson, 75, of Delaware, is a proud Trump supporter who has been vocal over the years about his bitterness with what he...

CV NEWS FEED // The Delaware Senate has approved legislation requiring Medicaid and most private health insurance plans to cover abortion. According to the Associated Press, Democratic senators passed the legislation on a party-line vote, though it still needs to be approved by Democratic Gov. John Carney. The bill does include an exemption allowing churches and religious employers to seek a waiver from covering abortions, but other insurance providers must provide abortions without charging copays or applying deductibles. The coverage would be limited to $750 per person per year. The bill is one of many recent anti-life laws, as Delaware...

In a roller coaster ride of votes, the Delaware Senate passed assisted suicide Bill HB 140 on June 25 by an 11 to 10 vote in a second vote on the bill. On June 20 I reported that the Delaware Senate defeated the assisted suicide Bill HB 140 by a 9 to 9 vote. I thanked the many Delaware citizens who worked to defeat the bill. The June 25 vote was based on all 6 Senate republicans voting No along with 4 Senate Democrats. Eleven members of the Delaware Senate voted to legalize medical killing even after an assisted suicide...

Nearly every state that has legalized assisted suicide has expanded their laws. On Wednesday, June 12, the Delaware State Senate debated assisted suicide Bill HB 140. The last online presenter was Kim Callinan, the President of the assisted suicide group, Compassion & Choices. In her presentation Callinan lied three times about key issues. The first lie was that there have been no abuses of the law. An article by Jennifer Brown that was published in the Colorado Sun on March 14 reported that Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani, an internal medicine doctor who specializes in eating disorders published a paper on how...

Tesla shareholders are voting to approve a $56 billion pay package for Elon Musk and to move the electric vehicle maker’s legal home to Texas, Musk said on social media platform X on Wednesday, adding that passage was by wide margins. A yes vote gives the electric carmaker more ammunition in a Delaware court, where a judge voided the 2018 pay package plan, which at the time was the largest in US corporate history, saying the board was “beholden” to CEO Musk. It also marks a massive win for Musk and the board, who have put their credibility on the...

Ex-stripper Lunden Roberts said during an interview last week that the night she learned that she was pregnant with Hunter Biden’s child that her cellphones crashed and her iCloud was hacked and a lot of the content she had backed up was deleted. Roberts made the explosive claims during an interview with Megyn Kelly as President Joe Biden’s son is in the middle of one of the criminal trials that he faces over weapons charges. “I had two cell phones, which is also, I still do to this day,” she said. “I had two cell phones at the time because...

The verdict ‘is functionally irrelevant because the corrupt Biden [administration] has already proven that the entire justice system is rigged.’Hunter Biden was found guilty Tuesday on three federal gun charges, but his conviction is no victory for the rule of law. The trial sidestepped the most serious allegations against Biden — and their implications for his president father — while teeing up talking points for Biden supporters to insist the justice system is fair after the left brazenly weaponized the justice system to target former President Donald Trump.President Joe Biden’s son was found guilty of lying on application paperwork while...
