A former top staffer in the Biden White House said on Fox News Sunday that former First Lady Jill Biden’s strategy to prop up former President Joe Biden in public is only harming the Biden legacy. Michael LaRosa, who served as a longtime press secretary to Jill Biden, admitted that Biden’s team is mishandling the fallout regarding his cognitive decline and Joe Biden’s initial decision to seek reelection in 2024. Despite his affection for the Bidens, the former aide urged Jill and Joe Biden to reconsider how they are handling media appearances in the post-presidency period because their current strategy...

The release of audio recordings of former President Joe Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur have intensified criticism of the administration's use of an autopen on official presidential orders and pardons. The damning tapes, which bring Biden's alarming mental decline into sharp relief, were kept under wraps by Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland. Now that Biden's cognitive problems have been bared, some are calling for Garland to face prosecution for rejecting Congressional demands to release the tapes when he ran the Department of Justice (DOJ). "Key decisions made in the final days of the Biden presidency, including using autopens...

The verdict is in. Joe Biden is to blame. So too are the advisers who protected him in the White House by hiding his frailties. Together they unwittingly choreographed the comeback of President Donald Trump. The country is living with the consequences, and the Democratic Party is looking for a way out of the wilderness. That, at least, is the underlying charge of books about the 2024 election. The one drawing the most attention is the newest, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.” Written by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’s Alex Thompson,...

VIDEOIt sure looks like something strange happened when Joe Biden leaned forward to pray during the Pope's funeral. Notice that Jill Biden right away moved forward to tell Joe something. The people around them also noticed something strange. Did they also smell something strange? Was it something embarrassing? Something like what happened when he previously visited Vatican City? Accidents happen and sometimes they do repeat themselves in the same places.

Missouri’s attorney general wants to know what former President Joe Biden didn’t know and for how long he didn’t know it. In a post on X, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey said he wants the Department of Justice to open up a can of worms by investigating whether Biden’s deluge of executive orders and pardons that marked the final weeks of his presidency came at a time when Biden had no idea what he was signing. “I am demanding the DOJ [investigate] whether President Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval,” Baily...

Back in July 2023, when the Secret Service found a plastic bag of cocaine in the White House, the stonewalling began immediately. Despite the fact that the bag was found in the most closely watched and carefully guarded place on earth, with the world’s most elite investigators supposedly available to discover what really happened, no one could figure out whose cocaine it was, or how it had gotten into the executive mansion.

I think it’s important to remember that President Trump ran on this. I mean, he said, ‘we’re going to look for wasteful spending across our government,’” Britt replied. ... “And it’s interesting that none of you had anything to say over the last four years when it is clear that our commander-in-chief was not in command, Britt said. “And if we’re going to use the term ‘co-president,’ then let’s go back and say ‘Co-President Jake Sullivan,’ ‘Co-President Ron Klain,’ ‘Co-President Jill Biden.” “I mean, it seems that some of the biggest decisions were made during the president’s afternoon nap time,”

Newly obtained emails reveal that former president Joe Biden's White House was involved from the beginning in the investigation into the classified documents found at Donald Trump's residence in Mar-a-Lago. Trump has been under intense investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The official narrative suggested that Trump had retained sensitive materials without authorization, which led to an FBI raid at his Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022. However, these new revelations confirm coordination between the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and senior officials before the official referral to the Department of...

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump said Friday that he’s revoking former President Joe Biden’s access to government secrets and ending the daily intelligence briefings he’s receiving in payback for Biden doing the same to him in 2021. Trump announced his decision in a post on his social media platform shortly after he arrived at his Mar-a-Lago home and private club in Palm Beach for the weekend. “There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information. Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearances, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings,” Trump wrote....

Just weeks after leaving office, Joe Biden is laying the groundwork for his post-presidential era in Hollywood. One of the entertainment industry's biggest talent firms, Creative Artists Agency, which represents actors including Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts, said Monday it had signed Biden to its roster. Biden was previously a CAA client from 2017 to 2020, following his second term as vice president during the Obama administration. During his earlier stint with CAA, he released his memoir, "Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship and Purpose" and launched his "American Promise Tour," which sold more than 85,000 tickets nationwide,...

The 82-year-old ex-POTUS has signed with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) — the Hollywood mega-talent agency that also represents former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama.

Donald Trump made a campaign promise to "immediately bring prices down" on his first day in office. Instead, egg prices have spiked. During her first White House briefing, press secretary Karoline Leavitt blamed former President Joe Biden for hurting the egg supply and driving up costs. Egg prices are expected to continue rising due to a bird flu outbreak, which Biden's Department of Agriculture tried controlling early on by euthanizing infected chickens. Egg prices have risen in the short time since President Donald Trump took office — despite his campaign promise to "immediately bring prices down, starting on day one"...

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) claimed Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he and other top Democrats did not mislead the American public about President Joe Biden’s decline in mental acuity. Host Kristen Welker said, “Obviously, there has been a lot of focus on President Biden’s role in this. You were, obviously, in close contact with President Biden well before the public tuned into that debate that ultimately led to him stepping down. I want to play you a little bit of something you said last year. Take a look. In 2024, on Capitol Hill, Schumer said, “I...

As he leaves office, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. appears to have amassed a strong case that he deserves the title of “worst American president.” As Joe Biden prepares to leave office, it’s worth reflecting on where he ranks among the 45 men who have served as president of the United States. By combining Carter-level incompetence on economic and foreign policy, radical leftism on social policy, and a singular disregard for the Constitution, Biden has perhaps earned the 45th and last place on the historical list. The Biden presidency has had no widely recognized major accomplishments — at least none that...

The French king Louis XV is credited with saying “après moi le deluge,” meaning he didn’t care what happens after he was gone. Biden has not said the same, but his actions make clear that he’s perfectly happy to see the country weak and bankrupt and the Constitution torched when he leaves office and Donald Trump takes over for a remarkable second term. The press, which has covered for Biden most of his term, is now trying to hide their obvious airbrushing of the worst president in modern history and stay afloat. While much of the civil service seems ready...

The New York Times published a report that President Biden used teleprompters for small fundraisers hosted at private homes, which alarmed his donors. According to the four Times reporters on Friday, the president's inner circle "had Mr. Biden use a teleprompter for even small fund-raisers in private homes, alarming donors, who were asked to provide questions beforehand." Biden has made headlines throughout his presidency for blunders related to his use of teleprompters.

Legal experts slammed President Biden's announcement declaring the 28th Amendment law as "cynical and irrelevant." Biden on Friday released a statement saying the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) should be considered ratified and a new addition to the U.S. Constitution. "It is long past time to recognize the will of the American people. In keeping with my oath and duty to the Constitution and country, I affirm what I believe and what three-fourths of the states have ratified: the 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex,"...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Outgoing Secretary of State Antony Blinken told The Associated Press that he hopes the incoming Trump administration will press forward with key points in President Joe Biden’s foreign policy, including on the Middle East and Ukraine. But in an wide-ranging interview Friday on his last workday as America’s top diplomat, he expressed concern that the Trump team might abandon all or some of those policies. Blinken said there is reason to be concerned that the new administration might not follow through on initiatives that Biden’s national security team put into place to end the war in Gaza,...
