During an interview with NewsNation on Sunday, Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA) stated that he thinks President Joe Biden decided to leave the 2024 race in part because he was concerned about his own health and Biden’s COVID diagnosis was “a wake-up call that there are other health issues that are ahead of him.” And that Biden decided that it’s best that he “use his energy, his experience, and knowledge” “to finish up the next six months of his presidency in a very strong way.”

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) did not take a stand regarding President Joe Biden staying in the 2024 presidential race or letting someone else run as the Democrat nominee, saying it was “up to” him. “It’s up to the president to decide if he is going to run,” she said on MSNBC on Wednesday. “We’re all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short. She added, “I want him to do whatever he decides to do, and that’s the way it is. Whatever he decides, we go with.” Her comments come at a time seen as critical for...

Democratic strategist David Axelrod said on Sunday that he doesn’t think President Biden understands he is “not winning this race” against former President Trump. “There are certain immutable facts of life, and those were painfully obvious on that debate stage, and the President just doesn’t seem to come to – he hasn’t come to grips with it. He’s not winning this race,” Axelrod, a senior adviser in the Obama administration, said on CNN’s “Inside Politics Sunday.” “If you just look at the data and talk to people around the country, political people around the country, it’s more likely that he’ll...

Friday, during an appearance on CNN, University of Virginia Center for Politics director Larry Sabato declared the contest for the White House between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump was “no longer close.” Sabato dismissed the notion that an interview or a rally could bridge the gap between the two, suggesting that there was little Biden could do. “I don’t think [President Biden] can change the dynamic with one interview,” he said. “I suppose you’d say stop the bleeding and the bleeding has been bad. I mean, we’ve been looking at all the data coming in, all the...

A delegate for President Joe Biden’s reelection effort warned on Monday that black women will abandon the party if Democrats replace the presumptive nominee with another “white man” instead of Vice President Kamala Harris. Biden spoke with a raspy voice and trailed off during the Thursday debate with former President Donald Trump, leading Americans to express concerns about his age and fitness for another four years as president. Areva Martin, an attorney and California delegate for Biden for President, said on “The Stephen A. Smith Show” that Democrats should “stay the course” with the president and that passing over Harris...

Hunter Biden was “one of the strongest voices” in the Biden family who reportedly encouraged President Joe Biden to remain in the presidential race after his performance at the presidential debate. President Joe Biden was previously reported to be meeting with several members of the Biden family at Camp David to discuss the future of his presidential campaign after he appeared to look confused, froze, had trouble getting through his prepared closing statement, and referenced several false claims.

It’s not hard to understand why Caitlin Clark, the record-setting white ex-NCAA women’s basketball standout, is enjoying attention and endorsements like no WNBA player before her. And, no, it’s not because of (mythical) “white privilege.” It’s just as how Tiger Woods — who brought legions of new fans to golf the way Clark is doing for women’s hoops — was treated like royalty in the late ’90s for being the first dominant “black” (he calls himself “Cablinansian”) golfer.

In my research on the abortion issue, I have come across many statements from abortionists and clinic workers. Some of the most disturbing were about minorities. In a future article, I will give examples of pro-choice activists using racism to gain support for abortion. In this article, I would like to present three disturbing quotes by abortion providers. Dr. Edward Allred owns a chain of abortion clinics called “Family Planning Associates Medical Group.” Their website can be found here. His clinics have such a poor safety record that they have numerous lawsuits against them. At least ten women have died...

Today marks the third Juneteenth America has officially celebrated as a federal holiday. The country would be a whole lot better without it. We already have a black holiday with Martin Luther King Day. We didn’t need another one, especially one that its proponents wanted to weaponize to browbeat America into giving reparations. Juneteenth enshrines the false idea that blacks are the protagonists of American history while whites are its villains. When this was first made a holiday, I thought it might one day supplant Independence Day in importance. It was a year after George Floyd. America appeared well on...

Clark’s fellow players would rather the WNBA collapse than give her a modicum of credit for bringing attention to the sport.I never thought the day would come when the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) would be newsworthy enough to write about. But in an era where deranged leftists think men can become women and get pregnant, I suppose anything is possible.The story in question centers around an incident that occurred during a Sunday matchup between the Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese and Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark. Most Americans are likely familiar with Clark for her dominating performance at the University of...

Boston Celtics’ Catholic coach leaves reporters speechless with simple answer about Christian faith I wonder how many of those have been Christian coaches, Boston Celtics’ Joe Mazzulla said when asked if he took ;pride; in the fact that the head coaches of both teams in this year’s NBA Finals are black. BOSTON (LifeSiteNews) — The head coach of the National Basketball Association’s Boston Celtics again left reporters speechless after his team took a 2-0 lead against the Dallas Mavericks in this year’s NBA Finals. Joe Mazzulla, 35, has been at the helm of the historic Celtics franchise since mid-season last...

In a press conference that should have focused on the Boston Celtics’ strategies for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks, the discourse took an unexpected detour into identity politics, thanks to a question from Vince Goodwill of Yahoo Sports. Mazzulla, however, was not playing along. The question posed to Joe Mazzulla was loaded, aimed not at the game but at stirring racial narratives. Goodwill asked, “For the first time since 1975, this is the NBA Finals with two black head coaches. Given the plight sometimes of black head coaches in the NBA, do you think this...

Discussion of the WNBA has reached a fever pitch this week, and not for entirely positive reasons. It might have been bound to happen as Caitlin Clark proceeded through the league's most high-profile rookie season, but Chennedy Carter's shoulder has sparked a referendum on the nature of WNBA stardom.

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) suggested that Black families were better off during the Jim Crow era while speaking at a campaign event for former President Trump. Donalds, who is on the shortlist for Trump’s potential vice-presidential pick, was campaigning for the former president in Philadelphia at a “Congress, Cognac, and Cigars” event aimed at garnering Black male voters, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. During the conversation, the freshman lawmaker said he is starting to see the “reinvigoration” of Black families, adding that it is “helping to breathe the revival of a Black middle class in America.” Donalds also claimed that the...

A group of teens forced a woman to miscarry with a brutal attack after she and her husband dared to stray onto a Chicago street that the youths claimed as their own. The 41-year-old mother was returning home with her husband from a date night on Friday when they were surrounded by at least 10 young people in the city's notorious Streeterville neighborhood. The woman, who gave her name only as Nina, told Fox32 that she was pepper-sprayed in the face, kicked in the stomach and lost a clump of hair as her husband was held back by the mob....

The WNBA is finally getting eyeballs, and what we see is a bunch of nasty women brutalizing Caitlin Clark because this is what predictably happens concerning women in the workforce. Whether it be on the court or in corporate America, it’s women bullying other women that breeds actual toxicity. Clark was the first overall pick. She’s starting to play better on a very bad and rebuilding Indiana Fever team. She’s doing her job, but the rest of the league seems to have a bounty on her. Clark won’t break and probably will soak up the intense scrutiny surrounding her impact...

NEW YORK (AP) — A U.S. federal court of appeals panel suspended a venture capital firm’s grant program for Black women business owners, ruling that a conservative group is likely to prevail in its lawsuit claiming that the program is discriminatory. The ruling against the Atlanta-based Fearless Fund is another victory for conservative groups waging a sprawling legal battle against corporate diversity programs that have targeted dozens of companies and government institutions. The case against the Fearless Fund was brought last year by the American American Alliance for Equal Rights, a group led by Edward Blum, the conservative activist behind...

Four years after a protest over the murder of George Floyd, attorneys have filed a federal class-action lawsuit against the City of Fort Lauderdale and Fort Lauderdale Police Department. The lawsuit alleges the civil rights of protesters were violated when police, without warning, dispersed tear gas into the crowd...

Stephen A. Smith admitted to what only OutKick has written for the past four months: women in the WNBA are jealous of Caitlin Clark and race is a contributing factor. "There are girls – young ladies – in the WNBA who are jealous of Caitlin Clark. She is a White girl that has come into the league," Smith said while discussing Chennedy Carter shoving Clark to the floor on Saturday. "She has bursted onto the scene. She hasn’t proven herself yet. It’s not even about them thinking they’re better than her because they probably know it at this particular juncture...
