Democratic members of Congress are reviving a fight over President Biden's candidacy following a brief respite in the wake of Saturday's assassination attempt against former President Trump, Axios has learned. Some lawmakers are uneasy about the Democratic National Committee's plans to forge ahead with a virtual roll call vote to nominate Biden weeks before the Democratic convention. "People are back to being angry at Biden and a push to sign on to this letter is going around ... the 'replace Biden' movement is back," a House Democrat told Axios. A letter circulating among congressional Democrats argues that there is "no...

Democrats are biding their time until after this week’s NATO summit to pressure President Biden into ending his re-election bid, a party pollster told The Post Thursday*** “I’m of the belief that this is very close to the end,” said John Zogby, pollster and founder of an eponymous marketing and political consulting firm. “[I think] that the NATO summit wasn’t a test so much for Biden as it was a holding action,” he added. “You don’t embarrass the world’s leader in front of world leaders. You’re going to see more and more Congress people come out and I think the...

Donald Trump made bold statements on his Truth Social account over the weekend, saying that the Republican candidate for AZ Governor, Kari Lake, should be ‘installed’ as Arizona’s next governor. Trump made the statements as six counties prepared to meet the Monday deadline to certify the 2022 midterm election results in what will begin the process of contesting the highly troubled November elections. Media reports show that with 99 percent of the vote reported in Arizona, there is just 0.6 percent separating Lake from the projected victor, her Democratic opponent Katie Hobbs. But Republican outcry, led by Lake and former...

They've been stuck on these exact numbers since this morning, Jerusalem time. Have they all stopped counting? Seems it's de ja vu all over again.

Liz Truss urged Dominic Cummings to scrap hundreds of 'woke' civil service roles in an attack on Whitehall 'groupthink', a leaked document has revealed. As international trade secretary in 2020, Miss Truss's office called for the abolition of diversity and inclusion roles in the civil service. Her office reportedly signed off the document to Mr Cummings, who was then Boris Johnson's most senior adviser, criticising the 'risk-averse' Whitehall for its liberal 'groupthink'. And she lambasted the difficulty of firing poorly-performing officials, according to the Telegraph. A source close to Miss Truss told the paper the document represented how she would...

A spokesperson for South Carolina's Law Enforcement Division confirmed to Fox News that state law enforcement had been asked to investigate a shooting in Hampton County and that the victim was the 53-year-old Murdaugh, but he could not release additional details. "I have been told he is going to be OK," his brother, John Murdaugh, told Fox News... Murdaugh was found on Salkehatchie Road in Hampton County Saturday afternoon... Paul and Maggie Murdaugh, 22 and 52, were found shot to death on a family property in Islandton on June 7. The homicide case remains unsolved. Shortly after Paul and Maggie...

The name Jussie Smollett has become a verb, used to refer to incidents where the left pretends there was a racist hate crime when there wasn't. Now there is a Facebook group set up to create these incidents. They just did it to me. I'm not that well-known, or as those who came after me characterize it, "You're a nobody, no one cares enough about you to bother doing this." But that doesn't mean anything; as we already know, they try to get relatively unknown conservatives fired from their jobs all the time now. One of my Facebook friends, a...

Protester critically injured after toppled Confederate statue landed on his head in Portsmouth, Virginia “We could see that his skull was actually showing..”

In a new podcast, Yahoo News Chief Investigative Correspondent Michael Isikoff gives details of a key passage in the controversial Republican memo alleging surveillance abuses by the FBI and the Department of Justice — a passage in which Isikoff himself, to his surprise, played a leading role. The memo, which was released Friday after it was declassified by the White House, says a September 2016 article by Isikoff was “cited extensively” in an FBI application for a surveillance warrant against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Isikoff was the first to report that Page was under federal investigation over a...

Will liberal voters hand Ted Cruz the Republican nomination? So goes the theory posited in a Wednesday story in the New York Times. The idea is that if Hillary Clinton is the inevitable Democratic nominee, participating in the Democratic primaries would be pointless. So, it would behoove liberal voters to cross over to the Republican races and vote for whom they think will be the most unelectable candidate now running. Oddly, the Times thinks that person is Cruz, the conservative firebrand from Texas and not, as many might have thought, Donald Trump, the mercurial businessman, and media personality. In any...

Hmm, what's this? We noticed that overnight eight 5-star reviews for Stephen Meyer's book Darwin's Doubt were mysteriously erased. Just vanished. Since these were positive reviews, it is unlikely they were "abusive" which is the normal criterion that Amazon has for removing reviews. Interesting. These kinds of shenanigans always seem to happen when our critics are feeling maximally pressed because they can't answer our arguments on the merits. They thus see the need to resort to schemes and tricks. It's an admission of intellectual defeat. We've also heard claims about people trying to reshelf Meyer's book in the religion section...

Barack Obama is an illegal President, who has likely committed felonies in office and there is an active conspiracy to prevent the American people from learning the truth. There is evidence that Obama’s birth documents and Selective Service registrations are forgeries and that he is using a stolen Social Security number. Yet there are no investigations to ascertain the facts. There is only willful ignorance. Many of our political leaders and government officials are either actively or passively complicit in this crime against our Constitution and our country. Attorney Leo Donofrio has documented evidence that Justia.com, the main resource on...

Muslims in the United States should "behave as if on a mission behind enemy lines." Not the admonition of a crank or a freak from the lunatic fringe, but Saudi-funded religious pamphlets distributed to mosques throughout America. Says who? Says Freedom House, one of the oldest human rights groups in the U.S. and headed by James Woolsey, CIA director in the first Clinton administration. The organization did a one-year study of the kind of "hate propaganda" the Saudi government has paid to print and distribute to U.S. mosques. The 89-page report, based on 200 Saudi documents, released by Freedom...

One of the arguments used by Swedish advocates of the Euro for a vote in favor of the single European currency was that it would give Sweden a seat at the EU’s top table for economic decision-making. This was always a hopelessly naïve point of view, but all credit to the French for a recent demonstration of quite how naïve the ‘ja’ camp were being. The cornerstone of the EU’s currency regime is something known as the ‘growth and stability pact’. Amongst its provisos are limits on public sector deficits as a percentage of GDP. In principle that’s fair enough...
