Oscar-winning actor George Clooney hailed President Biden as a hero for “saving democracy” and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris — just two weeks after calling on the president to drop out of the election in a scathing op-ed. “President Biden has shown what true leadership is. He’s saving democracy once again. We’re all so excited to do whatever we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest,” Clooney told CNN in a statement Tuesday. The 63-year-old actor’s endorsement comes nearly two weeks after he called for a new candidate in an op-ed published in the New York Times...

"The leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges." Two days ago, I wrote that ‘The Dem Civil War is Over Who Will Replace Biden”. The battle would be between the faction lining up behind Kamala and the one pushing some sort of limited primary. Biden’s tweet endorsed Kamala. Hillary came forward to back her too. DNC chair Jamie Harrison, who actually has the power here, however issued a statement saying that, “the Party will undertake a transparent and orderly process to move forward as a united Democratic Party with a...

The knives are out. It’s drowned out now that cash is pouting into the Democratic Party coffers once Joe Biden bowed out of the 2024 race, but it’s there. There’s infighting within the Biden family after the president’s brother, Frank, said health concerns likely influenced his brother’s decision to drop out. In return, other members of the family, through their sources, leaked that Frank shouldn’t be trusted because he’s a recovering alcoholic—what a family. Now, Biden’s orbit is leaking details about why the soon-to-be ex-president felt Kamala Harris didn’t have the chops to be president.It's ironic in the extreme since...

Elon Musk has made destroying “the woke mind virus” one of his top goals and the reason is very personal.In an interview with Canadian psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson, the Tesla CEO and founder says his son is figuratively dead because of it.Musk explained that he was “tricked” into signing off on puberty blockers for his son, Xavier, who now goes by Vivian Jenna Wilson."It happened to one of my older boys, where I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier,” he told Peterson when asked what he thought about physicians performing irreversible procedures on...

What could go wrong? Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas named Janet Napolitano to a panel investigating the Secret Service failures that allowed Trump to be shot. Napolitano, Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary, was at the nexus of the investigation over Fast and Furious, an Obama administration program that helped smuggle guns to cartels in order to impose gun control on Americans that backfired and led to the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. After claiming that she knew nothing about, she now gets to sit on a panel investigating another federal government arm that claims it knew nothing about its...

This is getting serious. Joe Biden has not been seen in public in five days. His last appearance was when he slowly and painfully exited Air Force One on Wednesday night. This is the last time Joe Biden was seen. It was five days ago. Nobody knows where he is, what he’s doing, if he’s okay, or who is running the country at the moment.pic.twitter.com/ozT7YBYhVW— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) July 22, 2024His absence from the public eye is enough to make anyone a conspiracy theorist. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) demanded "proof of life" by 5 p.m. on Monday. That deadline came...

Joe Biden's decision to drop out surprised many. His defiance for weeks seemed unshakeable, and even top campaign officials were reportedly unaware that a decision had be made until the final minutes before his letter was posted to X/Twitter. The question on everyone's mind is, of course, how did it happen? Did Biden have an epiphany? Did he look at polling data before bravely and selflessly deciding to call it quits? Not. Even. Close. Sources have informed the New York Post that top Democratic Party operatives threatened to forcibly remove Joe Biden from office if he didn't voluntarily drop out...

President Joe Biden's reelection campaign officially ended on Sunday, July 21 when he announced that he was dropping out of the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president. Harris has since picked up a lot of endorsements from fellow Democrats —including one from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) — and reportedly, Biden's announcement was followed by a cash haul of over $75 million in less than 24 hours. But some Republicans are accusing Democrats of not playing fair, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana). On X, formerly Twitter, Johnson posted, "At this unprecedented juncture in American history,...

[Bird's eye video of several individuals in an alleyway getting blowed up real good.] The IDF on Tuesday afternoon confirmed earlier reports that the head of Hamas' military branch in Tulkarem was eliminated in a strike. "Overnight, the IDF, ISA, and Israeli Border Police conducted a joint counterterrorism operation in the Tulkarem area, as part of a series of over 50 counterterrorism operations in the area since the beginning of the war," a joint IDF and ISA announcement read.

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) argued that “People focused on the rising price of food,” but President Joe Biden “couldn’t do anything about” grocery prices. Clyburn said, “People focused on the rising price of food, yes. But he countered that — he couldn’t do anything about those grocery prices, but he could do something about the pharmaceutical prices. And he drove down the price of pharmaceuticals in a way that no president has ever done. And, once again, when Harry Truman left the presidency, he said the one thing that he regretted was not...

With President Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race and passing the baton to Vice President Kamala Harris, donors and delegates from Illinois said Monday that the mood of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next month vaults from trepidation to elation. “The mood will be dramatically different,” said John Cullerton, the former state Senate president who, as a member of the Democratic National Committee from Illinois, is a delegate. With Biden staying in the contest, the convention “would have been depressing. There would have been a pessimism that Biden was not going to win. But now there is...

Los Angeles County’s Board of Supervisors unanimously voted Tuesday in favor of creating a plan to provide free attorneys to low income renters facing eviction. The policy — which still needs a final vote before it is scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1, 2025 — would be the first of its kind in Southern California. It comes at a time when lapsed pandemic renter protections have caused a spike in eviction filings leading to thousands losing housing. “Housing is a fundamental human right,” said Sup. Holly Mitchell, who first introduced the idea for a “Right To Counsel” program last...

Former President Donald Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris in 13 national polls published in the month of July. The surveys indicate Harris might not have any better chance of defeating Trump than President Joe Biden did. Harris’s favorability rating is one point less than Biden’s, RealClearPolitics polling average found. Harris will be an easier candidate to defeat in November than Biden, Trump said Sunday after Biden dropped out as the Democrat’s de facto nominee. The 13 polls also contradicts polling from former pollster for President Barack Obama, Fernand Amandi, who published an internal survey on July 9 that found...

Indian-American politician Vivek Ramaswamy, almost eight months ago, predicted that Joe Biden would not be the Democratic party's candidate for the presidential elections 2024. He was right. Joe Biden withdrew himself from the 2024 White House race on Sunday, endorsing vice president Kamala Harris for the Democratic party's presidential nominee. But Vivek Ramaswamy thinks that even Kamala Harris may not end up as the Democratic candidate. In an interview with Fox News, the Republican leader said, "I say this as someone who predicted a year ago (that) Joe is not going to be the nominee. I'm gonna predict that Kamala...

Unelected globalists at the World Economic Forum (WEF) are calling on governments to usher in “digital IDs” for members of the general public. The WEF argues that “every citizen” should be issued with digital ID as the world prepares for “cashless societies.” The new form of ID is part of the digital public infrastructure (DPI) plan being pushed by the WEF, United Nations (UN), European Union (EU), and Gates Foundation. While it will initially be used for IDs, DPI will be expanded to also support digital payments via central bank digital currency (CBDC). The plan to roll out DPI infrastructure...

CHICAGO — When Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson announced in March that it was filing a “first-of-its-kind lawsuit” against firearm manufacturer Glock, the city drummed up publicity with a press release and widespread media coverage. There was no press release and no media coverage on Monday when the city’s attorneys unceremoniously dropped the case in a two-sentence federal court filing. The city’s lawsuit sought to hold Glock responsible because some of its handguns can be equipped with cheap, illegal after-market devices that allow the weapons to generate automatic gunfire, similar to a machine gun. ...

July 22 (Reuters) - The Illinois State Police released video on Monday of a sheriff's deputy killing a woman in her home this month, revealing details of a shooting that some likened to high-profile cases in which law enforcement has used excessive force on Black Americans. Sean Grayson, a white deputy who was dismissed from the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office and charged with three counts of first-degree murder last week, fired three shots at the woman, Sonya Massey, according to the indictment. He also faces a charge of aggravated battery and one of official misconduct. "Sonya’s death at the hands...

The Justice Department told a federal judge late Monday that it has located transcripts it previously denied having of President Joe Biden’s talks with a biographer that played a role in the recently completed criminal investigation into Biden’s handling of classified material before he became president. ... Nagging concerns about those issues, particularly after a disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump last month, helped drive Biden’s announcement Sunday that he is dropping his bid for reelection.

George Clooney said that Joe Biden is "saving democracy" by stepping aside from the presidential election in a statement released on Tuesday. The actor also endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid to seek the Democratic nomination to run against Donald Trump in November.

Before she was Joe Biden’s understudy the last four years, Kamala Harris ran offices as a California prosecutor and senator. Often, scandal and failings followed in her wake. As California Attorney General, Harris was widely criticized for failing to take on prosecutorial misconduct. In fact her office was “called out” by judges for “defending convictions obtained by local prosecutors” who had inserted false confessions, lied under oath, and withheld evidence. A federal appeals judge even admonished officials in 2015 to talk to Harris "and make sure she understands the gravity of the situation" involving prosecutorial misconduct. Likewise, Harris’ top deputy...
