What was the most under-reported news story during the Biden presidency? In the last week or so, there has been a sudden burst of recognition of the extent to which Democrats and the media worked together to cover up Biden’s progressing cognitive decline. One media figure after another has come forward to call this the “most under-reported” story of the last year or several years. Some examples among many include: CBS correspondent Jan Crawford on December 30 (“That [the most under-reported story] would be, to me, Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in a televised debate"); Rolling Stone,...

President-elect Donald Trump shared a ruthless highlight reel of Democrats repeatedly praising President Biden’s mental sharpness, sharing it soon after a veteran reporter blasted those who helped hide his “obvious cognitive decline.” Trump shared the brutal supercut hours after CBS News reporter Jan Crawford ripped the media for helping to cover up the eldest-ever president’s decline until it was too obvious to ignore at the debate. The nearly three-minute-long video — set to the goofy Wii theme music — started with White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre appearing baffled that someone would even dare question Biden’s mental acuity. “Oh my...

WASHINGTON — The National Archives has finally released photos showing then-Vice President Biden meeting with two of first son Hunter Biden’s Chinese government-linked business partners — again proving that the president lied about not interacting with his family’s foreign patrons. The cache of photos, released long after their potential political salience and days before Biden retires on Jan. 20, also show Chinese President Xi Jinping grinning as then-Vice President Biden introduced his son during the same December 2013 trip to Beijing.

Joe Biden has proudly referenced his roots in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on countless occasions. But after he pardoned a judge involved in a cash-for-kids program that jailed thousands of juveniles in northeastern Pennsylvania, the Electric City is no longer feeling that spark of love. The newly elected Pennsylvania Republican State Rep. Brenda Pugh called on officials in Scranton to remove Biden’s name from expressways labeled in his honor after he pardoned former Luzerne County Judge Michael Conahan. ... That now-disgraced official was convicted after taking kickbacks in exchange for sending juveniles to jail for committing minor crimes, or committing no crime...

Donald Trump Jr. ripped into President Joe Biden on Friday for issuing a pardon to a Chinese national who pleaded guilty to possessing tens of thousands of images of child pornography. On Thursday, Biden issued an executive grant of clemency to Shanlin Jin, a Chinese national who pleaded guilty to possessing 47,000 images of child pornography on his computer. He was arrested in January of 2021 while studying for a Ph.D. at Southern Methodist University in Texas. "Why on earth would Joe Biden commute/pardon a Chinese national in jail for possessing 47,000 child porn images? Oh, unless the Chinese Communist...

Is he the Ghost of Christmas Past — or just another Scrooge? President Biden shocked attendees at the White House’s National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on Thursday night when he doffed his stocking cap to reveal long, wispy locks — appearing more like a character out of Charles Dickens’ Yuletide classic than the commander-in-chief. His white, billowy hair stood on end from the wool cap’s static electricity, spooking the White House press corps by making him seem older — and ghostlier — than usual. The shocking portraits of the 82-year-old president immediately began circulating online, earning him comparisons to the...

What will be Joe Biden's legacy as President? Vice President, and Senator?

@CNNSitRoom@WolfBlitzer asks Jared Kushner to convey a message to Pres. Trump for sharing a tweet that accuses Joe Biden of being a pedophile: “Tell your father-in-law that it’s really bad, it’s really disgusting to retweet those kind of ugly... tweets about his Democratic rival.” Video..

[EDITOR’S NOTE: The photo used for this article includes an image of Ku Klux Klan hoods made from Kente cloths. These were a part of a collection by Paul Rucker, a multimedia artist, showing the legacy of slavery. More about the collection here.] What a failure. Pelosi’s smug little pandering photo-op of taking a knee wound up on the wrong side of the racism issue. It was bad enough that the Democrats taking a dramatic orchestrated kneeling-in-support-of-George-Flynn opportunity to kneel had it blow up in their face a few different ways. Pelosi looked like the Medic Alert ‘I’ve fallen and...

Joe Biden stopped himself from dropping the f-bomb while discussing President Trump at a roundtable in Philadelphia. The Democratic presidential nominee, 77, was caught on camera almost uttering the profanity Thursday, when the commander-in-chief's record on race came up as a topic of discussion. 'When a president speaks, no matter how good or bad he is, people listen. And when he [Trump] speaks, he gives credibility to these racist f...,' Biden stated, before suddenly catching himself. 'I have to watch my language!' he then added.

Joe Biden, weighing a 2020 White House bid, once advocated continued school segregation in the United States, arguing that it benefited minorities and that integration would prevent black people from embracing “their own identity.” Biden was speaking in 1975, when he opposed the federally mandated busing policy designed to end segregation in schools. In the past few decades, he has claimed he wanted desegregation but believed the policy of busing would not achieve it. Last year, he stated he had voted heroically to protect busing.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany brought up former Vice President Joe Biden's history with segregationists in response to a question about retired Gen. David Petraeus's call for the names of Confederates to be stricken from U.S. military bases. "Where do you draw the line here?" McEnany said. "I'm told that no longer can you find, on HBO, Gone with the Wind, because somehow that is now offensive. Where do you draw the line?" She pointed not just to slave-holding Founding Fathers but also to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's internment camps and President Lyndon B. Johnson's documented racist statements. "What...

Former Vice President Joe Biden delivered remarks at the funeral for George Floyd on Tuesday, calling on his family to turn his death into “purpose.” “Unlike most, you must grieve in public and it’s a burden. A burden that is now your purpose to change the world for the better, in the name of George Floyd,” the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said via a video message. “Looking through your eyes, we should also be asking ourselves why the answer is so often too cruel and painful,” he added. “Why, in this nation, do too many black Americans wake up knowing...

Confounding media’s effort to blame him for riots. Despite the recent riots over police brutality, Rasmussen has indicated that black approval for the job President Trump is doing is now over 40%. “Our Daily Presidential Tracking poll today shows Black Likely Voter approval of the job @realDonaldTrump is now over 40%,” tweeted the polling agency. The full results of the poll are yet to be published, but the number suggests that the media’s campaign to frame Trump’s response to the riots as draconian and racist has completely failed. Our Daily Presidential Tracking poll today shows Black Likely Voter approval of...

Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed Thursday that "10 to 15 percent" of Americans are "just not very good people." As first reported by The New York Times, Biden held a virtual town hall on Thursday evening with black supporters where he knocked President Trump's divisiveness and weak leadership. “The words a president says matter, so when a president stands up and divides people all the time, you’re gonna the worst of us to come out,” Biden told actor Don Cheadle, who was moderating the virtual town hall.

"I’ve already said I’m going to pick a Supreme Court justice who is a woman of color," Biden said. "I’ve already said my cabinet will be full of people of women of color. Men and women of color. I also already said that there are women of color under consideration. That is not the only criteria to determine who will be the vice president of the United States of America that I’ll choose as a running mate. It is just beginning the process. I guarantee you, there are more — there’s more than one African American woman being considered for...

Biden then indirectly referenced a tweet from Trump that condemned the riots in Minneapolis, which prompted Twitter to hide the content due to breaking its rules about "glorifying violence": "When the looting starts, the shooting starts," Trump said. "I will not lift the President’s tweet. I will not give him that amplification. But he is calling for violence against American citizens during a moment of pain for so many. I’m furious, and you should be too," Biden tweeted.

June 19 is the premiere of "Uncle Tom," a documentary on which I am the executive producer. Through interviews with black conservatives, some well-known and some not, the film asks a simple question: Why are independent-thinking blacks, who believe in limited government and personal responsibility, denounced as "sellouts" and "coons" and "Uncle Toms" by fellow blacks? One can agree or disagree about whether, and to what degree, today's problems in the black community can be traced to slavery and Jim Crow. But blacks who do not connect the serious problems in black urban America to Jim Crow and slavery are...

On Tuesday, a new video emerged with the usual footage showing Biden relentlessly pawing manifestly uncomfortable little girls. What makes this one different is the way it's paired with statements from Professor Anthony Zenkus (ironically enough, a die-hard leftist and anti-capitalist) who speaks in an old video about how pedophiles groom children: No matter how you slice it, what Biden is doing is wrong. No older man should ever handle little girls as he does. The fact that Biden engages in this behavior in public doesn't change the matter. Indeed, rather than appearing friendly and naïve, as the "Joe will...

A conservative group is urging more Joe Biden “victims” to come forward in a digital ad campaign featuring former Biden Senate staffer and sexual assault accuser Tara Reade. The 60-second ad produced by Club for Growth Action features Reade accusing Biden of assaulting her in 1993 and directs viewers to the website joebidenvictims.com to, “Fill out the form below about your experience with Joe Biden.” The pro-free market group generally supports Republican candidates and worked with the Trump administration to reduce business regulations. The group told The Post it is initially spending $2,000 with a focus on promoting the ad...
