The head of the Catholic Church in West Virginia — who was expelled over sex harassment allegations — spent millions on luxury travel and doled out lavish gifts to fellow clergy, a report said Wednesday. Bishop Michael J. Bransfield, 75, showered $350,000 in gifts to others in the church — including some he is accused of abusing and one archbishop who was overseeing a probe into his conduct, according to The Washington Post. “Everybody’s trying to destroy my reputation,” Bransfield told the paper when asked about the allegations. “These people are terrible to me.” It wasn’t clear what people Bransfield...

Former second lady Jill Biden promised an end to her husband Joe Biden’s alleged inappropriate behavior Wednesday during an appearance on The Daily Show. She also praised the “courage” of the women who made complaints against the former vice president. “It took a lot of courage for women to step forward and say, you know, ‘You’re in my space. Joe heard that. And it just won’t happen again,” she told The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah. “He heard what they were saying.” Former Democratic Nevada Assemblywoman Lucy Flores was the first of several women to accuse Biden of inappropriate behavior during...

DALLAS, Texas — Throughout his decades in public life, Joe Biden has operated with the simple credo that all politics are personal. And since launching his third White House campaign, he’s spent nearly as much time greeting voters one-on-one as he has addressing them from a stage. The constant whirl of selfies, handshakes and “God love ya" greetings doled out with abandon by the former vice president has been a staple of his initial tour through early voting states. But there’s also a new, more meaningful, dynamic to those up-close encounters that has emerged.

Former Vice President Joe Biden is running for president in 2020, but he did not appear for any Memorial Day events on Monday. There were no events on Biden’s public schedule the entire Memorial Day weekend, at a time when presidential candidates typically march in Memorial Day parades, meet with the troops, or visit a cemetery to honor the fallen. The former vice president has not held a campaign rally since last Saturday in Philadelphia. “I promise you this – no one – no one – is going to work longer and campaign harder to win your trust and support...

"I like Biden on a personal basis, but I think he is a walking time-bomb," Hume said. "I think his age is an issue, I’m the same age as he is, my age is an issue, I think his is too... the filters don’t work as well, the memory isn’t as sharp. "You might blurt out things as he did the other day when he said China is no competitor of ours. Now, I can kind of get where he was coming from on that, meaning you know we are the best and nobody can beat us. But that’s not...

Former Vice President Joe Biden, the leading Democrat in the 2020 White House race, is facing new pushback this week after a series of quotes from 2007 resurfaced online in which he said Iowa had better schools than Washington, D.C., while mentioning their differences in demographics. "There's less than one percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than four of five percent that are minorities. What is in Washington? So look, it goes back to what you start off with, what you're dealing with," Biden told the Washington Post at the time. "When...

It has been less than two weeks since former Vice President Joe Biden launched his 2020 bid, but numerous reporters have already voiced their concerns about the treatment they have received from his staff. Freelance journalist Marcus DiPaola was covering the Biden campaign in Iowa last week where he tweeted the accounts of different reporters, including himself, of their interactions with campaign staffers, which he described to Fox News as "out of line, totally." One unidentified reporter told DiPaola that while covering campaign events in Iowa, a member of Biden's campaign told the reporter to leave, with the campaign staffer...

Joe Biden holds a 30-point lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the Democratic presidential field, according to a Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey released exclusively to The Hill, further signaling that the former vice president is cementing his place as the primary contest’s front-runner. Forty-four percent of Democratic voters surveyed said they are most likely to vote for Biden in the 2020 Democratic primaries. Sanders comes in second place at 14 percent, while Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) places third with just 9 percent, the poll found.

“‘You know there’s an old Irish saying, there’s all kinds of old Irish sayings. My grandfather Finnegan, I think he made them up. But uh, it says, may the hinges of our friendship never go rusty. Well, with these two folks that you’re about to meet if you haven’t already, there’s no doubt about them staying oiled and lubricated here. Now for you who are not full Irish in this room, lubricated has a different meaning for us all.’” “‘If I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I am going to strangle them.

Joe Biden’s campaign announcement video—he’s running for president, of course—begins with Charlottesville, Va. It’s a choice, and the construct it reflects is an interesting one. It says a lot. Joe Biden’s campaign announcement video—he’s running for president, of course—begins with Charlottesville, Va. It’s a choice, and the construct it reflects is an interesting one. It says a lot. “Charlottesville, Virginia,” Biden says to the camera, “is home to the author of one of the great documents in human history.” He’s talking about Thomas Jefferson, naturally, and Biden goes on to recite a chunk of the famous second sentence from the...

Democrat presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden may have already made his first campaign gaffe within hours of its launch, telling a reporter that his message to the world is that America used to be “straight.” Biden launched his presidential campaign early this morning with a video, and has already been subject to increased scrutiny for over the past few weeks after multiple women came forward alleging he had inappropriate physical contact with them that made them feel uncomfortable. Now, Biden may have already made his first campaign gaffe, as he told a reporter that under Biden, the...

I did not expect to be surprised by the Joe Biden entry to the presidential race.  If anything, it was supposed be like putting on a pair of comfortable old shoes.  Here’s Joe again, America would say, a guy we’ve known forever, bringing his smile and relatability to a crowded, bitter Democrat field brimming with candidates itching to impeach Trump and dance on the grave of his ruined administration.Surely Joe would be different.  Surely his entry would be refreshing in its loftier tone.  Joe would re-introduce himself as the guy to return some stability and decency to a fractious,...

Former Vice President Joe Biden has selected Symone Sanders to be a senior adviser to his 2020 presidential campaign, the AP is reporting. Sanders was the former press secretary for Sen. Bernie Sanders (no relation) during the 2016 election when the Vermont senator ran as the Democrat nominee. The 29-year-old is also a high-profile political analyst at CNN. She spoke at this year’s Black Enterprise Women of Power Summit. Biden senior adviser: We don't need white men leading the Democratic Party Symone Sanders, who has just joined Joe Biden's presidential campaign as a senior adviser, must have reconsidered her earlier...

Former Vice President Joe Biden is officially in the 2020 White House race and is already a frontrunner thanks to his undeniable name recognition. Justice Democrats, a group associated with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and who many credit with helping launch her political career, is among the grassroots progressives hoping to curb his momentum. Justice Democrats announce they'll oppose Joe Biden's candidacy. Only in the primary though. "The old guard of the Democratic Party failed to stop Trump, and they can’t be counted on to lead the fight against his divide-and-conquer politics today." pic.twitter.com/w1wTwUl05b— Jennifer Bendery (@jbendery) April 25, 2019...

Well, it’s official. Biden has (for the moment) survived the onslaught of women who felt victimized by his wandering hands and nose and is hoping the third time is the charm for his presidential aspirations. And the stakes couldn’t be higher for him. Biden isn’t simply putting his legacy on the line, but also the legacy of Barack Obama. The Democrats’ leftward shift has made their party more extreme compared to what it was in the days of John F. Kennedy, or even Bill Clinton. The Obama years continued that trend, with the Democrats going all in on abortion without...

The Democrats' crazy train has yet another passenger: Joe Biden. After delaying his launch and delaying it again, 'Crazy Uncle Joe" has finally jumped into the 2020 race. He is now the 20th Democrat running for president. That's a record. What's going to happen next will be pretty remarkable as Biden tries to court the new ultra-radical, extreme socialist left Democratic Party and convince them that he's their guy. But even the bigger story is overseas - in what's surrounding Biden's shady involvement with Ukraine. The Hill's John Solomon explained on "Hannity" that while Biden was vice president, his son...

VIDEO Joe Biden is so obsessed with Charlottesville that he has announced that he is running for president of Charlottesville. Over and over and over again, he obsesses about Charlottesville. He might never have been there but Biden is thinking about Charlottesville 24/7. Every campaign speech he gives is expected to have at least three Charlottesville references per paragraph. He might even go for three Charlottesville references per sentence.

When I was a young baseball fan, I thought that pitchers who relied on a great fastball would lose their effectiveness more quickly than pitchers with a mediocre fastball who relied on “junk” and guile. After all, speed declines with age while guile, if anything, increases. Eventually, after observing the late career success of to Robin Roberts, I realized that pitchers with a great fastball can reinvent themselves as pitchers with a mediocre fastball, guile, and “junk.” Meanwhile, junkballers lose the mediocre fastball that set up their junk. Which brings me to Joe Biden. Biden never had a good fastball....
