Anderson Cooper just aired a short segment from his interview with actor George Clooney, discussing his Broadway directorial debut, Good Night, and Good Luck—a play about journalist Edward R. Murrow’s confrontation with McCarthy-era fearmongering. Screenshot from Anderson Cooper 360. The interview started off with Anderson Cooper trying to paint Trump’s first 136 days in his second term as the “worst” in America’s history. That was a claim so absurd that even Clooney couldn’t bite on that. “I can make an argument that we’ve had much worse times in our...

The president, especially when he’s elderly, is one of the most closely monitored men in the world. It is possible for someone to be in an advanced stage of cancer without previous warnings, but that’s less likely to be the case with a former president. Biden’s party and the party’s media had spent years lying about his mental capacities and are now busy lying that they knew about his mental state which gives them very little credibility when claiming that no one knew anything about Biden’s physical state. There had been previous warnings that Biden had more serious physical problems...

A presidential health crisis that ultimately resulted in the first lady of the United States wielding extraordinary power while covering up the president’s condition began in Pueblo more than a century ago. That crisis and the ensuing cover-up have similarities to today’s controversy regarding the physical and mental abilities of President Joe Biden. President Woodrow Wilson was elected in 1912 largely due to the split within the Republican Party when former President Theodore Roosevelt ran on the Progressive Party ticket against Wilson and incumbent Republican President William Howard Taft. Narrowly reelected in 1916, Wilson was only the second Democrat to...

Tuning into today's Morning Joe, you might understandably have expected simply an outpouring of sympathy over former President Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis, with few if any uncomfortable questions raised. Particularly so when the medical expert brought in was Dr. Zeke Emanuel, senior fellow at the left-wing Center for American Progress, and someone appointed by both Presidents Obama and Biden to White House advisory boards. Surprisingly though, the show promptly raised several tough issues on the matter. Emanuel said that very few people, only about 7%, get first diagnosed at this late stage, when the cancer has already metastasized. As another...

As you’ve likely already heard, Biden has cancer. Again. We don’t yet know whether this one will stick, but it looks more legitimate than President Autopen’s previous cancer claims. Yesterday, the New York Times ran the story below the headline, “Joe Biden Is Diagnosed With an Aggressive Form of Prostate Cancer.” The announcement by his office, which created the story, conveniently streamed into media offices two days before the controversial exposé book Original Sin was due for release. CLIP: Biden rambles about how he got oil cancer in 2022 (0:27).Hearing the news, some uncharitable people are casting a skeptical eye...

A top oncologist who once worked for former President Joe Biden claimed Monday that his old boss must have had prostate cancer long before Sunday’s public announcement of his diagnosis and suggested the oldest-ever president may even have had the disease for “a decade.”

FBI Director Kash Patel said Sunday night that a “wave of transparency” is coming to his agency, accusing the FBI of running cover for Hillary Clinton for nearly a decade — but that it’s all finally coming to an end. Sitting alongside FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino for a Fox News interview on “Sunday Morning Futures,” Patel explained how the Bureau is now heading down a long road toward rebuilding trust with the public after years under the microscope for its activities related to powerful Democratic politicians, theories about J6 involvement, and its infamous investigations into President Donald Trump. But...

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...

Former President Obama on Sunday responded to news of former President Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis by expressing confidence in his former vice president’s “trademark resolve and grace.” He also pointed to the work Biden has done to advance cancer research. […] Biden led the Obama administration’s Cancer Moonshot initiative, which aimed to accelerate cancer research, improve prevention and treatment strategies, foster greater collaboration in the medical research space and improve access to care. Biden relaunched the initiative during his term as president. …

A new book revealed that aides to Kamala Harris secretly planned for the possibility of Joe Biden's death in office as early as 2023, further fueling concerns over the former president's age and fitness for office. Questions about Biden's ability to serve another term grew throughout his presidency, with critics pointing to his advanced age and moments of confusion. Despite mounting concerns, Biden and his team insisted he was fit for re-election. However, behind closed doors, Democratic officials reportedly held secret discussions about contingency plans in case Biden had to withdraw or was unable to complete his term, the Guardian...

Embattled CNN anchor Jake Tapper has enlisted a PR crisis guru amid scathing criticism of his new book, which claims to expose former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline—despite spending years attacking conservatives for making the same argument. Tapper and co-author Alex Thompson hired crisis communications expert Risa Heller and her firm Heller Co., to help in their May 20 launch of Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again. Heller is no stranger to scandal. She represented disgraced figures like former CNN boss Jeff Zucker, who resigned after a secret affair with an employee,...

This is Jake Tapper and The New Yorker we're talking about, but if half of this report is true, then holy moly. On Tuesday, The New Yorker published an excerpt from the CNN host's new book, and it's a doozy. Here's the part where Joe Biden didn't remember mega-famous actor George Clooney, a man he'd met numerous times before. I remember being told that I was a domestic extremist who peddles in harmful disinformation if I suggested that a dementia patient was running the country. I’ve been right so many times these past several, maybe even 10 years to the...

Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, said Democrats pushing Joe Biden out of running for reelection means they want to “hijack” democracy. As Breitbart News reported Sunday, Joe Biden issued a history-making decision unseen since Democrat Lyndon Baines Johnson refused to seek reelection in 1968. “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” Biden’s statement read. “And while it has been my intention to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as...

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy launched into a furious tirade at George Clooney on Wednesday, after the Hollywood A-lister U-turned on Joe Biden and called for him to pull out of the presidential race. Clooney's op-ed in the New York Times stunned the world, as he asked Biden, 81, to step down just three weeks after hosting a record-breaking $28 million fundraiser for the president on June 16. Portnoy was quick to give his thoughts on the incredible turn of events, taking to X to give his scathing take. 'What a f****** hero this guy is,' he says of Clooney,...

Raging George Clooney showered f-bombs on a Morning Joe producer after star Mika Brzezinsky claimed Barack Obama put him up to an anti-Biden op-ed, it's claimed. The Hollywood heavyweight, 63, a top fundraiser for the Democrats, is said to have flown into a frenzy over a Morning Joe segment following Biden's disastrous debate against Donald Trump last summer. Clooney had piled onto calls for Biden to exit the race with a blistering New York Times op-ed where he said the then-president was 'not the same man' he once was, and said Democrats wince when seeing him in front of cameras....

George Clooney cemented his auteur status with 2005’s “Good Night, and Good Luck.’ The drama recalled journalist Edward R. Murrow’s clash with Sen. Joseph McCarthy during what later became known as the Blacklist era. Clooney co-wrote and co-starred in a film that earned six Oscar nominations, including Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. Clooney’s directorial career slumped following the movie’s release. Blame it on duds like “Leatherheads” (2008), “The Monuments Men” (2014), “Suburbicon” (2017″ and “The Tender Bar” (2021). Now, the actor/director is bringing “Good Night, and Good Luck” to Broadway. It’s a shrewd business move and, according to the...

George and Amal Clooney Amal Clooney played a key role in arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. If her name sounds familiar it is because she is the wife of actor George Clooney. She advised the International Criminal Court (ICC) in favor of issuing the warrants. The fact that Israel is accused of crimes against humanity when it is fighting for its survival against the internationally recognized terror organization that massacred Israelis and others on October 7, 2023, is unbelievable. Equating Israel and Hamas is unacceptable. How would any reasonable person argue that...

The newly installed House, led by Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.), is set to vote Thursday on legislation that would sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, over efforts to arrest Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to lawmakers and congressional sources briefed on the matter.The legislation first passed the House in June with support from Republicans and 42 Democrats, but then-Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) did not bring it to the floor of the upper chamber for a vote. Its resurgence comes weeks after top Republicans—both in Congress and in the incoming...

The bromance between George Clooney and Barack Obama is reportedly on the rocks, with the Hollywood star said to be “furious” with Obama for setting him up as the “patsy” to end President Joe Biden’s career and then absorb the blowback following Kamala Harris’ election defeat. “George is furious with Obama for disappearing after the election disaster and leaving him holding the bag for pushing the plan with his Hollywood pals,” an unnamed entertainment industry source told Radaronline.
