Currently, Iran has a uranium stockpile to create 8 to ten nuclear bombs. But thanks to this nuclear deal, Iran must reduce its stockpile of uranium by 98%, and will keep its level of uranium enrichment at 3.67% — significantly below the enrichment level needed to create a bomb. On January 16, 2016, the International Atomic Energy Agency verified that Iran has completed the necessary steps under the Iran deal that will ensure Iran's nuclear program is and remains exclusively peaceful. Before this agreement, Iran's breakout time -- or the time it would have taken for Iran to gather enough...

This was the first round of discussions between the two countries since January. The talks were mediated by Omani officials, with this occurring nearly over a month. Iranian officials held indirect talks with two Biden administration officials this week in Oman to de-escalate attacks in the Middle East, sources of the talks told Axios and Walla on Friday. The two officials from the Biden administration were Brett McGurk, the US president's top Middle East adviser, and Abram Paley, who is the US envoy for Iran. The US made it clear to the Iranians what the consequences of their and their...

The people have spoken, and last week former President Barack Obama called Vice President Kamala Harris to tell her. His endorsement of her run for the presidency was captured in a short video documenting the candidate’s reaction. “Although you called for an open process,” said Obama, “and you know, Democrats have, have put in place an open process, it appears that people feel very strongly that you need to be our nominee.” But without a primary, without a popular referendum, without even the open convention that Obama was rumored to favor, how did the people make their will known, and...

Barack Obama is “very upset” with Democrat President Joe Biden for endorsing Kamala Harris as his replacement in the presidential race, according to a new report. Biden family sources reportedly told the New York Post that Obama is warning that Harris “can’t win” the election against President Donald Trump. As Slay New previously reported, Obama issued a statement to publicly praise Biden for stepping down. When Biden announced Sunday that he was dropping out of the race, he endorsed Harris to replace him on the Democrats’ 2024 ticket. However, while Obama backed Biden’s decision to drop out, he stopped short...

Kamala Harris made a polarizing cameo on the season nine finale of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars as she urged viewers to make their voices heard at the polls. While making history as the first-ever sitting Vice President of the United States to appear on Paramount+ series' popular reality series, the politician, 59, reminded Americans of the big issues at stake in the 2024 election. In her first campaign ad, which featured Beyoncé’s hit song Freedom playing in the background, Harris showed her support for LGBTQ+ individuals by featuring footage of her among a crowd waving Pride flags. She, then,...

Kamala Harris becomes the first sitting Vice President to appear on RuPaul's Drag Race

Former president Barack Obama hasn’t endorsed Kamala Harris’ presidential bid because he doesn’t think she can beat Donald Trump, according to a source close to the Biden family. Following Joe Biden’s shock resignation from the race on Sunday, and his immediate endorsement of the vice president, most of the Democratic elite have been quick to rally behind Harris — but Obama is a notable exception. “Obama’s very upset because he knows she can’t win,” the Biden family source told The Post. “Obama knows she’s just incompetent — the border czar who never visited the border, saying that all migrants should...

President Biden’s decision to step aside as the expected Democratic nominee in November has “nothing to do with his health,” his top spokesperson said Wednesday ahead of his prime-time address to the nation. “It has nothing to do with his health. The president is going to speak to this directly to the American people in prime time,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters during a briefing. “In his letter he talked about the country, he talked about the party, he talked about the moment we’re in right now,” she continued. “It is not about his health. I can say no,...

President Biden addresses the nation at 8 p.m. Eastern to either explain why he withdrew from re-election on Sunday, maybe he is now resigning today, or will try and explain why he is still competent to remain as president. White House: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93T8biDlaBc

What a disgraceful end to a disgraceful presidency. Rather than exit this presidential race with dignity, rather than show long-suffering Americans the respect we deserve, President Joe Biden hastily declared he's out — on social media. Joe Biden's ghosted us!...Biden has humiliated himself, the nation, the Democratic elites, megadonors and liberal-media enablers who spent years covering for him. And he didn't even initially endorse his Vice President! Someone had to clean up Aisle 9 on X with a hasty follow-up Kamala endorsement tweet.... Why didn't Biden, like LBJ before him, announce his monumental decision to stand down during a primetime...

President Joe Biden is reportedly fed up with his pals, former President Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over what many are calling a coup d’état within the Democratic Party’s nomination process. Several people close to Biden told the New York Times on Friday that the embattled president sees Pelosi as “the main instigator” and Obama as “the puppet master behind the scenes” in efforts to remove him from the 2024 race. Biden’s anger seems to be triggered by a plethora of leaks and stories from anonymous sources suggesting he has considered passing the torch to a successor,...

Joe Biden is reportedly fuming as he isolates at his Rehoboth Beach house following a so-called Covid diagnosis. Feeble Biden claimed he is “stuck at home with Covid” as he tried to take a swipe at Trump with a post on X. Pathetic. I’m stuck at home with COVID, so I had the distinct misfortune of watching Donald Trump’s speech to the RNC. What the hell was he talking about? — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 20, 2024 According to The New York Times and CBS News, Joe Biden is angry with Pelosi and Barack Obama as coordinated leaks aim to...

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Thursday predicted Democrats will force President Biden to withdraw from the 2024 race and will nominate Vice President Harris or former first lady Michelle Obama to replace him at the top of the party’s ticket. “I put the odds at about 80 percent [Democrats] dump [Biden], and if and when they dump him, I think their replacement nominee will be one of two people — it will either be Michelle Obama or it will be Kamala Harris,” Cruz said in an interview on Fox Business. Recent polling has suggested Harris and Obama may each have...

Former President Barack Obama is pressuring President Biden to reconsider his 2024 run for re-election, according to a new report. Obama and Biden have only spoken once since the president’s debate debacle on June 27 — but stressed during that conversation that his old running mate’s chances of beating Donald Trump were “greatly diminished,” the Washington Post reported. Reps for Obama did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Sources also spilled to the Washington Post that Biden’s former boss in the White House has been fielding calls with Democrats panicking on Capitol Hill — including House Speaker emerita...

Former President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton issued statements condemning violence in the aftermath of gunshots being heard at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Obama issued a statement condemning “political violence” and saying that there was “no place” for it. The former president added that everyone “should all be relieved that” Trump was not “seriously hurt.”

Ever since he dazzled the world with speechifying on behalf of the common man at the 2004 Democrat convention, Barack Obama has been pushing his own brand of “democracy.” Here we are, in 2024, and Joe Biden is parroting the Obama “democracy” talk. The way we know this blather is issuing from the latter, not the former, is because on July 4th, 2024, Obama predictably took the opportunity to tweet this: The Fourth of July is about celebrating the big, bold, inclusive experiment that is our American democracy. And it has always been an experiment. Our democracy has never been...

Do tell. When the history of this extraordinary two-week period of American politics is written, the fingerprints of Obama and Pelosi will be far more apparent than currently known, people familiar with the matter tell CNN, as the Democratic elders have served as a guidepost for a party in panic. What that really means is the Dems are short of leadership. Biden can’t really provide it. But with him in the way, no one else can either. Donors have been applying their pressure and so have the politicians they fund. But only Biden can step down. And Biden has plenty...

Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that Joe Biden is not the first person contacted in the event of a nuclear war emergency. “He has a team that lets him know of any news that is pertinent and important to the American people. He has someone – that is decided obviously with his national security team on who gets to tell him that news,” Karine Jean-Pierre said. Imagine the US being on limited time (where seconds count) to respond to a nuclear threat and Joe Biden is passed out with a CPAP machine on his face. If Biden were to be awakened, he...

Joe Biden’s disastrous June 27 debate has sparked an ongoing meltdown within the Democratic Party that has yet to subside. His ABC News interview didn’t quell any concerns about his mental health. He might have accentuated them with the gross poll denialism exhibited by the president. There have been so many stories about discord, anger, anxiety, and Joe losing his mental faculties that the primary one of concern is getting lost in the noise: who is running the country? The tales of pervasive senility are not new or lost on conservatives; we’ve seen Joe and know he’s half-dead. But an...
