CNN analyst Brian Stelter has questioned the timing of Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis announcement — insisting it’s “extraordinary” the news broke just as the former president was battling an onslaught of criticism over his mental decline while in the White House. “The timing … is just extraordinary,” the anchor said on the left-leaning network Sunday. “We know from the statement from his personal spokesman that Biden learned of the diagnosis on Friday. “Well, what was the biggest Biden story on Friday? It was the release of those audio excerpts from his conversations with Robert Hur back in 2023,” he noted.

Actor George Clooney has said that his call for President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 election was his “civic duty.” George Clooney engendered severe backlash after Trump defeated Kamala Harris in the election, with Democrats squarely placing the blame on him for encouraging former President Joe Biden to drop from the race. Reports later indicated that the actor felt he was being used as a “scapegoat.” Speaking with Jake Tapper of CNN this week, the actor defended his decision once again. “Well, I don’t know if it was brave,” Clooney told Tapper. “It was a civic duty.”

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....

The establishment media gave extremely negative reviews to President Donald Trump’s announcement that the U.S. would take control of Gaza, underscoring Americans’ mistrust of the media. The announcement immediately caused many reporters to spread conspiracy theories and suggest Trump would be starting a war in Gaza, while members of the radical left rushed to the White House to protest the historic announcement. “The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too,” Trump said Tuesday night. “We’ll love it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous bombs and other weapons on...

A daughter of ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped into outgoing first lady Jill Biden over the weekend — seemingly comparing her to Shakespeare’s power-hungry, ruthless Lady McBeth. The Dem first lady recently took a swipe at Pelosi over the Democratic mutiny against President Biden last summer, and Alexandra Pelosi, the lefty California congresswoman’s daughter, responded by saying her mom is actually one of the few friends Joe Biden has left. “If I was Lady McBiden, I’d put on my big girl pants, play the long game and think about my husband’s legacy,” Alexandra snipped to Politico on Saturday.

Morning Joe issued a stunning rebuke to a comment from one of their pundits, apologizing on behalf of the liberal network to rivals Fox News over a joke about Pete Hegseth.

This is the most Radical Left duo in American history. There has never been anything like it, and there never will be again. Crazy Kamabla is, indeed, CRAZY. I HEAR THERE IS A BIG MOVEMENT TO “BRING BACK CROOKED JOE.” ---------- What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the U.S., whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and others on the Lunatic Left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the Nomination, beginning with challenging...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN Newsroom,” CNN Senior Political Commentator Van Jones reacted to 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris’ selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as her running mate by saying that there are “young people who are concerned about Gaza. You have a lot of Muslims and Arabs and others, they have not felt seen by the Biden administration. You started hearing that Genocide Joe, that was building, that was building and so those folks needed to have a candidate that they could feel comfortable with. This helps them in that regard.” Jones began by...

-snip- The rumors began with the form of Biden’s withdrawal from the race. On Sunday at 1:46 p.m. EDT, the Joe Biden X account published an image of a letter in which Joe states that “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 President for the remainder of my term.” It was a splendid 21st-century moment that Biden announced his own political demise on a social media platform, but it also raised questions, chief of which was: “Where’s Joe?” -snip- Shouldn’t Biden...

The campaign previously said the single best hour of fundraising came immediately after Biden's debate against Trump The re-election campaign for President Biden says it has raised a whopping $27 million since his rocky debate performance against former President Trump.

Ladies and gentlemen, let’s revisit this supercut from 12 days ago. Well done MSM! Corp. Media: Don't Believe Your Lying Eyes, Biden Never Been Sharper! 'This version of Biden is the best Biden ever' (3 minute video below) https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1806556780979175820

President Biden doesn't believe his bad poll numbers, and neither do many of his closest advisers, according to people familiar with the matter. Why it matters: The dismissiveness of the poor polling is sincere, not public spin, according to Democrats who have spoken privately with the president and his team. That bedrock belief has informed Biden's largely steady-as-she-goes campaign — even as many Democrats outside the White House are agitating for the campaign to change direction, given that Biden is polling well behind where he was four years ago. The public polling simply doesn't reflect the president's support, they say....

President Joe Biden, a self-professed Catholic, made the sign of the cross while Florida Democratic Party chairperson Nikki Fried decried the state’s six-week abortion limit at an event on Tuesday. A clip of the Tampa, Florida, event broadcast on Fox News shows the 81-year-old president cross himself, a practice among Catholics meant to symbolically indicate the figure of Christ’s cross, while Fried said: “And then we come back here to the state of Florida, where Ron DeSantis felt like he needed to run for president, and so 15-weeks wasn’t good enough — we had to go to six-weeks.”

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Friday wouldn’t rule out pardoning first son Hunter Biden if he’s convicted and she’s elected to the White House. snip “Let’s wait and see what the charges are. But at this point you have to go and look at every case individually. And I don’t think it’s responsible just to throw out whether you would do something like that on someone’s son when we don’t know all the details of that issue.”

Stop with the salt: adding a dash of water to coffee beans before grinding them could be the secret to a better-tasting cup of caffeinated goodness, new research suggests. The trick boils down to reducing the amount of static electricity generated by grinding whole coffee beans, which otherwise causes them to clump together and clog up the grinder, creating a whole lot of mess and waste. Coffee buffs have long been spritzing their beans to moisten them before grinding. Now scientists have confirmed what makes sparks fly in ground coffee beans – and shown how budding baristas can reduce that...

Joe Biden may be known to some by the nickname Middle-Class Joe, but the former vice president and current president is actually a millionaire, many times over. At the start of his 2020 presidential campaign Biden released his financial information - disclosures as well as state and federal tax returns for 2016, 2017, and 2018 - and based on those forms, Forbes estimated that he had a net worth of $9 million. **SNIP** Here, take a look back at how he earned his fortune. Before Biden became Vice President, he served as a Senator from 1973 to 2009. Over the...

President Biden called into the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday, calling on Americans to “come together” and put unity above politics over the holiday weekend — and beyond. “On this Thanksgiving, Al, we have to come together,” the president told NBC’s Al Roker. “We can have different political views, but we have one view. The one view is that we’re the finest, greatest nation in the world. We should focus on that.” …

The thrill has gone from all the BIG spending bills from Biden. After its surprising bounce last month (on a seasonally-adjusted basis, because it crashed NSA), US Industrial Production was expected to decline 0.3% MoM in October. It was worse – down 0.6% MoM from a downwardly revised September print (from +0.3% to +0.1%). October’s decline is the worst since Dec 2022 and the YoY drop of 0.8% is the worst since the COVID lockdowns. AND Federal stimulypto is wearing off (M2 Money growth surge peaked in February 2021, but has slowed into negative growth starting in August 2022. Notably,...

Joe is screwed. He is boxed in on Israel by Congress and his donors. The Left is already in open rebellion over Israel / Palestine. The clips and images of dead Palestinian civilians have set the whole Muslim world on fire. The war in Gaza could easily spiral into a regional conflict that sucks in American troops. Trump is now clobbering Joe in the swing states in the NY Times poll. New York Times: President Biden is trailing Donald J. Trump in five of the six most important battleground states one year before the 2024 election, suffering from enormous doubts...

EXCLUSIVE: Former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin told Fox News in an exclusive sit-down interview that he was fired during the Obama administration for investigating Burisma, the energy firm whose board Hunter Biden served on. During the interview with Fox News' Brian Kilmeade – set to air Saturday at 8 p.m. – Shokin said it is his "firm personal conviction" that he was fired because then-Vice President Biden and Hunter were bribed. Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko ousted Shokin in 2016 – he was hired a year prior – due to Shokin's alleged corruption and pressure from the U.S. government...
