Former President Donald Trump, who has already announced he is running for president in 2024, is not happy about the prospect of facing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in the race. “When I hear he might run, I consider that very disloyal,” Trump told reporters Saturday. Trump sought to take credit for DeSantis’ ascent to the governor’s office and questioned polling showing DeSantis defeating him in some of the early primary states. DeSantis has been in the governor’s office since 2019, and won reelection in November by almost 20 percentage points. A poll published Thursday by the University of New...

Biden says he ‘admired’ Pope Benedict, recalls conversation about AquinasPresident Joe Biden on Wednesday professed his admiration for the late Pope Benedict XVI, who died on Dec. 31, recalling their meeting in which they discussed Catholic theology.“What did Pope Benedict mean to you as a Catholic?” EWTN White House correspondent Owen Jensen asked Biden on Jan. 4.“I had an opportunity to spend some time with Pope Benedict, a couple of hours and he was a great. … And reminded me of going back to theology class,” the president responded. “We spoke about Aquinas and about [the] Summa Theologica,” he said,...

The persecution of conservatives since the 2020 presidential election had reached unprecedented heights as the concept of “disinformation” and political correctness on steroids called “wokeness” had the media punishing, blocking, and canceling all who spoke any opinions that were not held by said media. The social media giant Twitter canceled users at a furious rate, even canceling the President of the United States. The recent purchase of the social media platform by Elon Musk, who vowed to make free speech possible on social media again, has opened up the platform to those who state conservative views as well as liberal...

Tuesday delivered some clarity, confusion and mystery — better news for the Democrats than basically everyone expected. That said, the results came despite both President Biden and Vice President Harris being unpopular with a large segment of the electorate, including a number of Democratic pundits and voters.

During MSNBC’s election coverage on Wednesday, host Katy Tur raised the possibility of Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D), who just won the state’s U.S. Senate election, being a nominee for president at some point in the future, although she acknowledged there are “some variables, obviously.” Tur said, “Fetterman, as a nominee, at some point, for president, I know there are some variables, obviously. Just a few. But I just — you know, what he did in the super red, deep red parts of Pennsylvania and the way that he ran ahead of Biden…ran ahead of Trump, I mean, it...

President Joe Biden is expected to hit the campaign trail and start campaigning for Democrats ahead of the November election, despite his abysmal poll numbers, according to an adviser who told Fox News. An adviser to the president said to “expect more POTUS” on the campaign trail as he started to ramp up his campaign endorsements in recent weeks. The adviser said that he would be working to promote his agenda and to “sharpen the contrast” between his administration and Republicans.

First lady Jill Biden accidentally introduced Vice President Kamala Harris as 'president of the United States' at a Black History Month event at the White House Monday. The first lady made the flub in a speech where she saluted Harris as a 'partner to Joe' and made reference to her role as the first black vice president. 'Ladies and gentlemen, the president of – the vice president of the United States,' the first lady said, drawing instant laughs when she corrected herself. Among those seen guffawing were the president himself. She also had a joke her husband's expense when praising...

Elizabeth Christ Trump was a German businesswoman and is considered the matriarch of the Trump family.

Buckle up, Buccaroos! How the Pig in a Pantsuit could be “POTUS” within weeks… So Justice Breyer is resigning. And Biden’s operating system is now crashing every 120 seconds. Scenario: -The Demented Pedophile Biden nominates Harris to fill Breyer’s seat on the Supreme Court thus solving the “Harris Problem”. And Harris is a very, very big problem. The Deep State can’t get rid of Biden without first getting rid of Harris. -Biden then appoints Hillary Vice President. -Biden then resigns citing “prostate cancer” or some such. Anything but dementia. Ah, prostate cancer. The “Canadian girlfriend” of resignation excuses. -Hillary becomes...

"I believe the plan is for Biden to nominate his wife Jill Biden to replace Kamala as vice president, and then succeed him as president, becoming the first female president in our history. In fact, I think the plan all along was for Jill to run for president in Joe’s place in 2024. However, last month’s election calamity has forced the Dem leadership to move up the timetable. The plan to oust Kamala has been in place for many months. With one or both houses of Congress likely to flip red, Dems must act post-haste."

Pete Buttigieg has long been a man in a hurry. Since 2010, he has run for treasurer of Indiana, mayor of South Bend, chair of the Democratic National Committee, and president of the United States. At 39, he is one of the most omnipresent and newly-powerful members of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet. But he says he’s not thinking about what comes next, even as he’s buzzed about as a potential Biden heir.

Has anyone else noticed recently that Brandon often has a tightly gripped pen in his left hand? Also while watching footage of him signing the big spending bill, he handed off his pen to someone then Crazy Nan reached down with both hands and pressed another pen into his seemingly disabled left hand.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is reportedly launching a comeback tour — and insists Donald Trump will have no impact on his decision as he continues to weigh a 2024 presidential bid. The 59-year-old is giving a speech at the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California Thursday night as part of a series on the future of the Republican Party, Politico reports.

Here is a thought for us all and whether you smile or frown probably will be how cranky you want to be at this moment! Contemplate the thoughts and emotions emanating from a well-known resident of a certain mansion in Chappaqua, NY at this video. She has had a storied life; an Ivy League Lawyer, a 1st Lady of Arkansas, a successful investor, a 1st Lady of the United States, a victim of a serial predator, a US Senator, an almost 1st FEMALE POTUS (2008) until trumped by BLACKNESS, a US Secretary of State, a successful author, the SELECTEE of...

It’s truly amazing to look back on the last year. If you watched a movie that had this plot you would probably reject it as more implausible than Godzilla vs. Kong. Plot Synopsis: The world is brought low by a virus built in a Chinese bio-weapons laboratory, but most politicians refuse to admit it because they hate the sitting President and view any admission of the truth as bolstering his long-standing opposition to the Chinese. The primary election is fought viciously by a number of small factions. When no one gains a clear lead the ex-President calls on all candidates...

The latest bizarre conspiracy theory to circulate on Facebook claims President Joe Biden may actually be a "clone" because the real one is either in custody or executed. The platform told Newsweek it is investigating.

Welcome to FiveThirtyEight’s politics chat. The transcript below has been lightly edited. sarah (Sarah Frostenson, politics editor): We’re still more than three years away from November 2024, which means we have no idea who is actually running in 2024 — although we are already busy watching what potential candidates do — but it’s not too early for us to make some terrible (and not so terrible) picks as to who will win the 2024 GOP nomination in our first waaaayyy too early 2024 draft.It’s been a while, so the rules are as follows: Four rounds, so between the five of...

Well, now we know why Democrat strategists were more than happy to let Joe Biden sit in his basement during the campaign, and kept him away from the press for the first 64 days in office – and it’s definitely not the coronavirus. Biden was almost 15 minutes late to his own very first “formal press conference” since taking office. He dodged questions, spouted platitudes and talking points, went off on tangents at times while getting angry and uttering what may have sounded like threats at others.
