President Biden said he was more physically able to do the job of the presidency than anyone, appearing to joke in a new interview that he could beat up reporters who asked about his advanced age. Biden sat down with TIME magazine at the White House last month for a lengthy interview published on Tuesday. At one point, Biden was asked if he could still do the job "as an 85-year old man" who will be considered "too old to lead" by many Americans if he wins a second term."I can do it better than anybody you know. You’re looking...

President Biden on Friday warned that the U.S. stands prepared to “act forcefully” to protect its citizens from attacks after a suspected Iranian-made drone was used in an attack that killed an American contractor and wounded at least five troops in Syria. In remarks during a joint press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Ottawa, Mr. Biden offered his condolences to the families of those lost in the attack and commended the U.S. military for its response.“Make no mistake, the U.S. does not … seek conflict with Iran but be prepared to act forcefully to protect our people,”...

At the end of his podcast today, Dan Bongino announced he is going to create a conservative news site to directly take on Drudge Report do to Drudge's rampant anti-Trump, anti-conservative bias... He acknowledged it will probably not have a giant impact, but he wanted to create a REAL news space for conservatives, that is free of CNN, WAPO, NYT garbage articles. Good news!!!!

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says America will be glad if he's the president next time the nation is attacked. "If we are attacked, somebody attacks us, wouldn't you rather have Trump as president if we're attacked?" he said at a rally in Milford, N.H. "We'll beat the shit out of them." He added that America needs to stop "playing games." "We've become the policemen to the entire world," he said. "We take care of the world. They pay us peanuts."

Former New York gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino argues there will be an outpouring for Donald Trump.

President Barack Obama said that Russian President Vladimir Putin has a "tough guy" schtick he uses to appeal to his native countrymen while on the world's stage.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell tells Newsmax TV in an exclusive interview that Democrats are feverishly raising money to defeat his re-election bid because "I'm a thorn in the side of the president," especially when it comes to trying to defund Obamacare. "I'm sure they'd like to defeat me," the Kentucky Republican tells Newsmax. "I'm frankly proud of my enemies." Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is among several prominent Democrats and their supporters who are raising millions to stop the five-term McConnell in his election next year against Democratic Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes.

President Obama is acting all tough now, saying he wants to find “whose ass to kick” about the oil crisis. He really is a tough guy of action. Don’t believe it? Then just look at some of the things he’s said at recent speeches: TOP TEN BARACK OBAMA TOUGH GUY LINES 10. “See what I have on here? These are my ass-kicking pants. Stop calling them mom jeans.” 9. “Time to open a can of whupass! …Oh, but not this can; it isn’t certified organic.” 8. “I am here to kick ass and chew arugula, and I’m all out of...

Specialist Robert Terrio and his wife, Kary, thought they had avoided a dangerous deployment a few months ago when he learned that his Missouri National Guard unit would do a tour in Kosovo instead of Iraq or Afghanistan. "There's a certain amount of relief that we weren't being deployed to an active war zone,'' Robert Terrio said. Then, last month, Kosovo declared independence from Serbia, a move Serbia refused to recognize. Suddenly, Kosovo started to look a little more dicey. Demonstrators torched the U.S. Embassy in the Serbian capital of Belgrade, mobs attacked several United Nations border posts, and gun...

The U.S. military tries to keep its distance from the enemy, which is why there is a lot of emphasis now on robots that can disable roadside bombs from a distance. While we know insurgents are everywhere in Iraq, we don't tend to think of soldiers encountering them head on. But they do, as this fascinating Army Times story about a soldier who survived being knifed in the forehead by an insurgent. Doctors estimate that at least four inches of the knife was plunged into his head. The attack occurred at a cordoned-off blast site. What saved him was medical...

A Few Favorite Lines From My Own MoviesI'm often asked about my favorite one-liners from my own movies. Here are a few that stand out and still cause me to chuckle. "My kind of trouble doesn't take vacations" ("Lone Wolf McQuade" – 1983) "If I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you" ("Code of Silence" – 1985) "If you come back in here, I'm going to hit you with so many rights, you're going to beg for a left." ("Invasion USA" – 1985) "Sleep tight, sucker." ("The Delta Force" – 1986 – after taking out a terrorist)

The man, the myth, the legend. The actor, the martial arts star, the hero – Chuck Norris. He’s in town at the Mohegan Sun this weekend, to present the World Combat League's "Turf Wars Are On!"

From his martial arts championships to his action/crime show “Walker, Texas Ranger” lever plus his appearance on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” there’s a lot to cover here.

We Do What We're Told September Eleventh was an incredible tragedy in our nation's history. We sat, galvanized, to our televisions, while the media kept broadcasting the crashes over, and over, and over again, and then when the buildings collapsed, it broadcast THEM again, and again, and again. To make sure everybody got a chance to see it. Afterwards, there was a lot of finger-pointing, and in turn, a lot of "it wasn't my fault's". When you have a disaster of that proportion, nobody wants to take the blame, least of all the actual people responsible. Let us sit down...

By Richard Reeves WASHINGTON -- When he was still a governor in 1999, George W. Bush came to Los Angeles to speak to a polite but skeptical crowd of movie executives. Suspicions that the man from Texas was dim and uncertain seemed confirmed when he could not remember the name of a Californian he said he had worked with closely. Bush snapped the tension with a crack: "Hey, I'm a big-picture guy." Who knew he wasn't kidding? I have told that story before, but it seems appropriate right now. This president has knocked the wind out of Washington with his...
