Breaking News Alert: Joe Biden to resign so Kamala Harris can become first female president. OK, it hasn’t happened yet, but don’t be shocked if the president makes the dramatic move to improve his awful legacy. He’s already using every trick in the book to try to wipe away the Big Stink from his tenure, but nothing is working. Following the election, Biden has spent two months trying to get people to forget the last four years. The effort hit a cringe-inducing low this week when he awarded prestigious civilian medals to the undeserving likes of Liz Cheney, Hillary Clinton,...

DOUGLAS — Former Vice President Dick Cheney and former congresswoman Liz Cheney escaped censure by the Wyoming Republican Party at its central committee meeting on Saturday because those in the state GOP don’t consider them “Wyoming Republicans” anymore. The Cheneys both said earlier in the week that they will vote for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for president because they oppose former President Donald Trump. At the Wyoming GOP’s Central Committee meeting on Saturday, the party declined to pass a resolution censuring the Cheneys because most of the membership does not view them as “Wyoming Republicans.” A...

Former Democratic National Committee Chair Howard Dean said in an interview that aired Tuesday that President Biden could “beat the daylights” out of former President Trump in a pushup contest. In an interview on MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber,” Dean said Republican candidate Nikki Haley’s best hope at the GOP presidential nomination would be if Trump suffers a health problem and cannot continue in the race. “Haley’s hope has to be that she can present herself well as an alternative to Trump so that the convention can accept her should either Trump have a health problem, which he’s certainly...

President Joe Biden likened former President Donald Trump to Nazi Germany during a speech on Friday. Biden’s dark rhetoric is a recent escalation after establishment media outlets questioned whether he would put greater emphasis on bashing his 2024 political rival. Speaking at Valley Forge to commemorate the January 6 protest, Biden equated Trump to one of the worst historical regimes.

President Biden on Sunday expressed exasperation with Republicans in Congress after lawmakers narrowly averted a government shutdown and said he hoped the drama of the last few weeks has led Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to a “personal revelation.” “Folks, the truth is we shouldn’t have gotten here in the first place. It’s time to end governing by crisis and keep your word when you give it in the Congress,” Biden said at the White House after signing a temporary government funding bill late Saturday.

Even White House staffers admit that President Biden’s advanced age is affecting his workload. Days after the 80-year-old formally announced he would run for re-election in 2024, Axios reported Friday that aides say it’s tough to schedule “public or private events” with Biden at certain times of day — namely weekends, mornings, and evenings. In fact, the report adds, most of Biden’s public events happen between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. That works out to a 30-hour workweek — even less than the official 35-hour workweek in France. So far this year, Biden has held just four events before 10...

NUSA DUA, Indonesia — A highly anticipated meeting between China's leader Xi Jinping and President Biden finished Monday with both leaders expressing an openness to restoring channels of communication and repairing a relationship that has been compared to a second Cold War. The leaders of two superpowers met face-to-face and unmasked on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, on Monday evening. In a substantial meeting, they touched on the war in Ukraine, military tension in the Taiwan Strait and North Korean missile tests. Biden said he and Xi were "very blunt with one another." Xi,...

....These are events beyond Biden’s control, but he has been seizing his opportunity to highlight the contrast between himself and his political opponents. At the campaign rally in Maryland Thursday evening, he cited a poll showing “threats to democracy” had overtaken “cost of living” as the top issue concerning Americans. The survey also found majority support for the FBI investigation into Trump. “What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy,” Biden said. “It’s not just Trump. It’s the entire philosophy that underpins — I’m going to say something: It’s almost like...

President Biden on Tuesday made a passionate plea for an assault weapons ban, invoking the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, to push Congress to pass such a ban. Biden said during remarks in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., that parents had to use DNA to identify their children’s bodies following the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in May when an 18-year-old killed 19 students and two teachers.

resident Joe Biden finally delivered his "voting rights" speech in Atlanta, telling a crowd: "The next few days, when these bills come to a vote, will mark a turning point in this nation's history. Will we choose democracy over autocracy, light over shadows, justice over injustice? I know where I stand. I will not yield. I will not flinch. I will defend your right to vote, our democracy against all enemies foreign and domestic. And the question is: Where will the institution of the United States Senate stand?" These were little more than the mendacious ravings of a demagogue. Biden's...
