...something strange has happened since Biden's ouster: the country went back to ignoring Joe Biden's senility...last week, Biden turned over a full Cabinet meeting to his wife who sat herself at the head of the table and proceeded to lecture Constitutional appointees on women's health issues. Within 48 hours, Biden completely forgot the world leader he was supposed to introduce at a Quad summit, snarling at his aides, "Thank you all for being here and now, uhh, who am I introducing next? Who's next?" The leader, as it turns out, was Narendra Modi, prime minister of the most populous country...

President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he delegated “everything” as commander-in-chief to Vice President Kamala Harris, including foreign policy and domestic policy. The acknowledgment is significant because it contradicts Harris’s talking points. Harris has tried multiple times to distance herself from the Biden-Harris record. “My approach is about new ideas, new policies that are directed at the current moment. And also, to be very honest with you, my focus is very much in what we need to do over the next ten, twenty years to catch up to the twenty first century,” Harris told Brian Taff of Philadelphia’s Action News...

A very curious image has been making the rounds on social media for a few days now and it’s raising some serious questions about who is really in charge of the country right now. It’s a picture of one of Joe Biden’s official legislation folders and it includes not only Joe Biden’s signature, but also Jill Biden’s. Why does her signature appear here? No one elected her to anything. Just this week, people across the country were shocked to see Jill Biden sitting at the head of the table at a Joe Biden cabinet meeting, now this.

On the one hand, it’s probably a good thing that incumbent President Joe Biden still has enough cognitive function to call a cabinet meeting. On the other hand, it’s probably a bad thing that the incumbent president apparently doesn’t have enough energy or cognitive function to lead a cabinet meeting discussion. Critics of Biden were out in droves Friday when video surfaced of the first cabinet meeting that the incumbent has called in nearly a year.

Kash Patel, former Department of Defense Chief of Staff and Deputy Director of National Intelligence under President Trump, believed that Kamala Harris may be installed as President before the 2024 election. Speaking on the popular X22 Report podcast, Patel shared his belief that President Biden might step down and hand the reins of the presidency to his vice president in a carefully orchestrated political move designed to shield his embattled family. “It’s really on him to, I guess in this instance, work with Biden as the Commander-in-Chief, who could also, by the way, slip the Commander-in-Chief hat over to Kamala...

Last week at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Vice President Kamala Harris officially became the Democratic nominee for US president. The symbolic and celebratory event — which included a live concert and dance party with rapper Lil Jon — was the culmination of a carefully choreographed, by-the-powers-that-be process unprecedented in American politics. President Joe Biden was removed from the race, dubiously replaced by Harris to run against GOP nominee Donald Trump. In an unusual virtual roll call, Harris secured 99% of the participating delegates’ votes — along with hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign funding that donors had...

Kamala Harris is a cut-and-paste nominee. If you’ve ever questioned it, you needn’t do so any longer. The Democrats confirmed it through several humiliating mistakes found in their 2024 platform for the Democratic National Convention. In short: Simply expect more of the same. The familiarly odious platform will be voted on this week during the Democratic convention. ... At least five references in the platform identified Joe Biden as the Democratic party’s 2024 presidential candidate in the document. The lack of astute editing became the tell-all component of the forced switch from Biden to Harris. Harris was obviously inserted when...

This week, the Democratic Party will nominate for president a woman who hasn’t won a single primary. I’ve elected not to attend the convention in Chicago. Since Joe Biden pulled out, it’s become a toothless coronation – and if there are protests, I can’t report on them. To do that, one needs pre-approved press credentials from the terrifying Chicago Police Department, which seems to regard half a dozen kids with placards and a camera as a nascent riot. The diminution of American democracy continues. Three months ago, we were told Joe was fit and well: anyone who said otherwise was...

From the moment Vice President Kamala Harris emerged as the surprise Democratic presidential nominee, former president Donald Trump began arguing that she was anointed through a “coup” rather than chosen by primary voters. After barely mentioning election integrity at the Republican convention in July, Trump is now casting the upcoming election as “rigged” against him and baselessly labeling any hurdle in his path as election interference. “This was an overthrow of a president. This was an overthrow,” Trump said at a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., on Saturday, referring to Harris replacing Biden on the ticket. He later added: “They deposed...

An opinion piece in The Hill posits that Democrats could spring the ultimate October surprise by making Kamala Harris president before the election in November.Douglas MacKinnon notes that “This is already the most surreal presidential election of our lifetimes,” and that it could get even more bizarre.He adds, “I wrote several times in this space over the last two years that I never believed Biden would be the nominee, and I was proven right. I also honestly believe Trump will pull away from Harris come September and October.”“So, what then? How would the Democrats and the Harris campaign react to...

We head to Chicago on a wave of euphoria, exuberance, exultation, excitement and even, you might say, ecstasy. It’s going to be a glorious coronation — except that everyone’s mad at one another. Top Democrats are bristling with resentments even as they are about to try to put on a united front at the United Center in the Windy City. A coterie of powerful Democrats maneuvered behind the scenes to push an incumbent president out of the race. It wasn’t exactly “Julius Caesar” in Rehoboth Beach. But it was a tectonic shift and, of course, there were going to be...

Harris liked to brag about using “a huge stick” as a prosecutor in San Francisco, where she regularly threatened poor parents with jail time in her efforts to craft social policy — which wasn’t her job. It’s true that Harris threw a lot of people in jail to bolster her political fortunes. Some of them likely innocent. And judging from her disposition, she would throw a lot of more people into jail, if she could. When pro-life journalist David Daleiden published videos of Planned Parenthood executives nonchalantly discussing the selling of body parts, Harris had his home raided, seized evidence...

Israeli officials say comments endanger hostage talks with Hamas - Netanyahu and his team were taken aback by the tone of Harris’ statement, which was “much more critical than what she told Netanyahu in the meeting,”... Israeli officials told media outlets in the U.S. and Israel on Friday that the meeting with President Joe Biden was more constructive that the one with Harris..... Harris’ harsh tone endangers the hostage deal talks by giving the impression of differences of opinion between Israel and the U.S., Israeli officials said in response to her comments. “When our enemies see the U.S. and Israel...

VP Kamala Harris on Thursday said she urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reach a cease-fire deal soon with Hamas so that dozens of hostages held by the militants in Gaza since Oct. 7 can return home. Harris said she had a “frank and constructive” conversation with Netanyahu in which she affirmed Israel’s right to defend itself but also expressed deep concern about the high death toll in Gaza over nine months of war and the “dire” humanitarian situation there. With all eyes on the likely Democratic presidential nominee, Harris largely reiterated President Joe Biden's longstanding message that it's...

Vice President Kamala Harris may have made it more difficult to close a hostage deal, a startled senior Israeli official said after hearing the remarks she issued to the press late Thursday afternoon. “We hope that it won’t make it harder to achieve a hostage deal because it gives the appearance of day light between Israel and the United States,” the official said. Harris surprised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and those close to him by issuing her statement, which she also placed on X shortly after her hour-long meeting with him.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic Party nominee for president, said Thursday that “the war in Gaza is not a binary issue,” refusing to see a clear moral distinction between Israel and Hamas terrorists. She delivered remarks after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for 40 minutes (emphasis added): And I will close with this, then. It is important for the American people to remember the war in Gaza is not a binary issue. However, too often the conversation is binary when the reality is anything but. So I ask my fellow Americans to help encourage efforts to...

Vice President Kamala Harris—or maybe we should refer to her as the co-president now that Joe Biden has quit his reelection campaign and is a lame duck—met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Thursday after pointedly skipping his Wednesday speech to Congress.She put on her "serious face" as they shook hands and could barely work up a smile:The White House spent DAYS hyping up Kamala Harris’ meeting with Netanyahu, then kicked the press out after *literally* 14 secondsTrump never did this BS. pic.twitter.com/0tzZiZKxfO— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) July 25, 2024Although she claimed that Israel has the full support of the United...
