Joe Biden is reportedly fuming as he isolates at his Rehoboth Beach house following a so-called Covid diagnosis. Feeble Biden claimed he is “stuck at home with Covid” as he tried to take a swipe at Trump with a post on X. Pathetic. I’m stuck at home with COVID, so I had the distinct misfortune of watching Donald Trump’s speech to the RNC. What the hell was he talking about? — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 20, 2024 According to The New York Times and CBS News, Joe Biden is angry with Pelosi and Barack Obama as coordinated leaks aim to...

Joe Biden has been in Washington, D.C., for 52 years. Multiple generations have been born who have never known a time when Biden wasn't a figure in national politics. Multiple generations of Democrats have risen through the Senate in the time since he first went to Washington, D.C. All of that is to say that Joe Biden has not been a spring chicken since before the end of the Cold War. This is a man who, by any rational assessment of his past actions, campaigns, statements, and behaviors should never have been a contender for the presidency. The Democratic Party,...

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...

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,...

Joe and Jill Biden hosted President William Ruto and First Lady Rachel Ruto of Kenya for a State Dinner Thursday evening. Three US Presidents were together at the same dinner Thursday evening. The Clintons arrived at the White House. Barack Obama also made a surprise appearance. ..... Snip..... At one point Joe Biden said Barack Obama is a member of the African diaspora. “Jill and I are honored to have you here and we’re representing, including many members of the African diaspora. One just left — Barack,” Biden said. The attendees sat there in shock

President Biden welcomed Kenyan President William Ruto to the White House on Thursday for an official state dinner as part of his efforts to deepen relations with the East African nation, a key ally in fighting against the Islamic State and other terror groups on the continent. During the visit, Mr. Biden notified Congress of his intention to designate Kenya a “major non-NATO ally.” The designation is bestowed on countries whose militaries have strategic working relationships with the U.S., but not necessarily a mutual defense pact. “Kenya is one of the United States Government’s top counterterrorism and security partners in...

Sara Foster, the Democrat daughter of music mogul David Foster tore into those who haven’t come out in support of Israel after the Jewish nation was attacked by Islamic savages who massacred hundreds of innocent people. In a post to Instagram, the politically active actress strongly condemned the violence and those who committed the barbaric acts while also expressing support for the ordinary Palestinian people who now find themselves facing a “mighty vengeance” which was vowed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in retaliation for the butchery of Hamas. “I do not support the killing of innocent people. The people...

I never caught his name, if he was part of some goofy group, or why Michael thought he needed a soapbox. Is Medved just picking up drunks off the street and making them guests these days?The guy was so incoherent about just about everything, I'd look to look him up out of curiosity.

The following is from an interview of John Lott by Dave Bose, substituting for Michael Medved on the Michael Medved radio show. Lott is currently a professor at the University of Maryland and is the author of "More Guns, Less Crime" and "Freedomonics." Lott taught at the University of Chicago the same time Obama was an instructor at Chicago. The transcript picks up approximately half way through the audio file... Dave Bose: Just before the break, Professor Lott, I was mentioning that actually know Barack Obama. You met at the college. John Lott: We were both at the University of...

The current financial crisis is painful and unpredictable, but no serious economist believes it will last more than four years. That means that President Obama (or, for that matter, President McCain) will be able to campaign for re-election with the claim that he arrived during “the worst economy since the Great Depression” and brought America back to prosperity and growth. If the next President handles our economic challenges with skill and wisdom, we will likely see the beginnings of recovery by the end of 2009 or early in 2010. If the new chief executive responds in a clumsy, misguided manner...

Final returns are still weeks away, but it's not too early to acknowledge one of the big surprises of the presidential election of 2008: the disastrous decline of fringe party candidates in a year that once seemed ripe for their efforts. As recently as November, 2007, CNN's Lou Dobbs flatly predicted that neither a Democrat nor a Republican could win the White House this time: the certain victor, he declared, would be an Independent or the representative of some newly emergent protest party. His book, "Independents Day: Reawakening the American Spirit," became a major bestseller. On a similar note, Douglas...

This hour's discussion is focused on Steven Spielberg's film "Munich" and how the film, via Tony Kushner ("Angels in America") suggests not only that the terrorists are sympathetic characters, but that they may even have been innocent. Peyser of the NY Post equates Spielberg with the president of Iran. Is this going too far? Kushner, the writer, says Israel is a mistake that "f-ed people over." Why is it that Hollywood's (and English theater's) apparent agenda is decidedly anti-Israel?

Michael said he saw the film but he isn't reviewing it yet. He said that "Munich" is brilliant filmmaking, but that it definitely attempts to be sympathetic to terrorists, and to Palestinian terrorists in particular. That's what some of us were afraid of. According to Medved, Spielberg will probably get a pass from people who would normally object to this kind of trash because he's Spielberg, but I disagree.

Michael Medved pressed Michael Moore's agents & distributors to reject Hezbolla's terroris endorsement of his Farenheit 9/11 propaganda effort. Medved received official rejection of such calls today with Moores' agents noting that to do so would deny Moore the millions of $$$ he is expecting to receive from his terrorist supporters in Lebanon + Syria.

Of all the distortions, misstatements and outright lies in Joe Biden’s truly appalling performance in the Vice Presidential debate, no passage counts as more perplexing than the following utterly addled recollection: “When we kicked – along with France, we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon, I said and barack said, ‘Move NATO forces in there. Fill the vacuum, because if you don’t know--- if you don’t, Hezbollah will control it.’ “Now what’s happened? Hezbollah is a legitimate part of the government in the country immediately to the north of Israel.” I defy any rational observer to explain what, precisely, Biden was...

In the Jeremiah Wright affair, Barack Obama is most certainly lying about something. He now insists that he is “shocked, shocked” (in the style of Claude Raines in “Casablanca”) to hear that anti-Americanism had anything at all to do with Wright’s ministry. He has also claimed to be a “devout Christian” who attends church every week and is deeply involved in the life of Wright’s congregation (where he’s been a member for twenty years). It’s simply not possible that he could be an active member in the church without hearing something about sermons in which the pastor blamed 9/11 on...

President Obama dispatched his national security adviser, retired Marine Gen. James L. Jones, and CIA Director Leon Panetta to Pakistan for a series of urgent, secret meetings on May 19, 2010. Less than three weeks earlier, a 30-year-old U.S. citizen born in Pakistan had tried to blow up an SUV in New York City's Times Square. The crude bomb - which a Pakistan-based terrorist group had taught him to make - smoked but did not explode. Only luck had prevented a catastrophe. "We're living on borrowed time," Jones told Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari at their meeting in Islamabad. "We...

During the campaign in 2008, President Obama was quite clear about what was needed in Afghanistan. Although he did state that military action was not enough, he described the situation as precarious and urgent, with Afghanistan being the central front in the war on terror. So now he’s taking a wait and see attitude? Here’s a clip from the CBS interview in July 2008. He seemed pretty clear as to what his strategy was at the time.
