President Biden told a gathering of nearly two dozen Democratic governors at the White House Wednesday night that he needs to get more sleep and work fewer hours — and even avoid events held after 8 p.m. — despite indications he can only handle the rigors of the job between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Biden’s acknowledgment was reported by the New York Times, citing two people who took part in the high-stakes meeting and others who were briefed on the comment. During the same gathering, the outlet reported, Biden responded to a question from Hawaii Gov. Josh Green about...

Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that Republican supporters of former President Donald Trump are “profoundly and pathetically weak people.” Shapiro said, “When Donald Trump sued us to try to first stop people from voting then had their votes count, he and his allies sued us 42 times. We went 43-0. We had a free and fair, safe and secure election. Then look at the ballot box while Donald Trump squeaked out a victory in 2016 in Pennsylvania by just over 40,000 votes, in every subsequent election, either Donald Trump or his hand picked candidate lost. They...

A new investigation by CNN’s KFile team reveals that Trump VP hopeful and Ohio Senator J.D. Vance liked tweets calling the man he hopes to serve under “douchey,” accusing him of “serial sexual assault,” and even expressing an interest in working under his then-rival, Hillary Clinton. Senator Vance is one of Donald Trump’s most effusive allies in Congress now, even earning himself a spot on Trump’s shortlist to be his running mate. But this alliance is still a relatively new one. Back in 2016, he called himself a “Never Trump guy” and called Trump “reprehensible” and an “idiot.” In text...

In the past couple of years I have noticed there is a complete lake of regard for other posters on this site. Not only that but swearing seems to be tolerated. In the past day I have been called gay, a lair, that I am talking out of my *** and I am full of ****. Do we even have to go into the fighting on any thread about Ukraine or Russia. Even hard facts from multiple sources no longer seem to matter. Instead it is whoever can come up with the snarkiest reply.

Biden’s legacy will be unique in American history, for no president will ever have left America in such terrible shape. Never before has an American president been so physically unstable that he needs an accompanying entourage wherever he walks. That shakiness is a visual metaphor of Biden’s presidency. He represents a departure from previous presidents in being the only president who leaves voters doubting whether he is actually in charge and wondering why a frail 81-year-old, broadly despised man is being pushed to run again, even as most don’t believe he’s capable of completing that term if elected. Biden came...

Electric vehicle makers Rivian and Lucid both suffered plummeting share prices after disappointing fourth-quarter earnings reports revealed stagnant production numbers. CNBC reports that shares of electric vehicle makers Rivian and Lucid plunged on Thursday following disappointing fourth-quarter earnings reports released after markets closed on Wednesday. Rivian stock sank around 25 percent, while Lucid shares dropped nearly 17 percent. Both companies cited stagnant production numbers and “existing economic and geopolitical uncertainties” as factors impacting results. Rivian forecasts production of 57,000 vehicles in 2024 — about the same as the 57,232 vehicles manufactured in 2023. Meanwhile, Lucid predicts production of 9,000 vehicles...

Joe Biden is a man of contradictions. When it comes to political opponents, he's tough. He pressed his Attorney General to prosecute Donald Trump. He has the FBI targeting Trump supporters. He's having Jan 6 protesters hit with overly harsh sentences. He had Peter Navarro and Roger Stone shackled for defying a Congressional subpoena while Hunter wasn't touched for doing the same. But when it comes to foreign affairs, Biden is wholly different. He is a weak man and he projects weakness. Bob Gates warned us. He said "I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy...

Yes, it's finally come to this. Joe Biden, the least popular president in U.S. history at this point in his disastrous presidency, has virtually gone hat-in-hand to Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, pleading with López Obrador to help stop the evergrowing surge of illegal aliens from reaching the border.The worst part, of course, is that Joe Biden intentionally created the border crisis — beginning on his first day in office. The second worst part is that López Obrador has "a few requests" himself — if he's to help Biden out of his self-created disaster.More accurately, López Obrador has Biden...

Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that former President Donald Trump is a “weak and feeble man who has no sense of character and integrity and has no sense of leadership.” Anchor Jonathan Karl said, “President Trump saying he’ll be a dictator on day one of his second term. Here’s a continuation of my conversation with three women who served in his White House. What would it mean in your mind if he became president again?”

Desantis won't even say his name. Coward! pic.twitter.com/e8cNOC2gxi— NN 1500 🇺🇸 (@SecretaryNikki) December 19, 2023DeSantis is a follower, not a leader. All of his campaign went quiet on this for hours only for him to punt to SCOTUS. He can't even say Trump's name. https://t.co/68D7ewcAK7— Jonathan Defren (@DefrenJonathan) December 19, 2023The Left invokes “democracy” to justify its use of power, even if it means abusing judicial power to remove a candidate from the ballot based on spurious legal grounds.

If Donald Trump and Nikki Haley are going to continue to spend millions against me on television with false attacks, they should at least have the courage to meet on the debate stage. Now that Nikki Haley has been shamed into coming to the CNN debate, it's time for Donald Trump to follow suit and join us.

Governor Ron DeSantis is facing backlash after offering to send aid to a man accused of illegally tearing down a Satanic Temple display at the Iowa State Capitol. [cut] Several supporters of Trump's MAGA movement responded by quickly pointing out that Cassidy's funding campaign had already been suspended after a $20,000 goal was reached within hours. Some also complained that DeSantis, during a recent CNN town hall event, had blamed Trump for the statue being displayed at the Iowa Capitol in the first place. "You blamed the statue on Trump," right-wing influencer Jack Posobiec wrote in response to the DeSantis...

“I stand 100% alongside this wonderful woman & her husband, @RonDeSantis, because they are truly good & decent people,” Roy posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, in response to a tweet from Florida first lady Casey DeSantis. “America needs THAT again.”

Just a day after Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds announced her endorsement for GOP candidate Ron DeSantis, the two stopped at a Davenport restaurant to meet with voters. Over 200 people attended the campaign event at the Machine Shed restaurant Tuesday morning. Senior advisers for DeSantis are outlining a difficult path to the Republican presidential nomination that can succeed only by first denying former President Donald Trump "a big win" in Iowa, The memo, distributed late Monday to the campaign's national donor network and to another group of uncommitted billionaires known as the American Opportunity Alliance, argues that other Republican candidates,...

Haley — the former South Carolina governor and the only woman in the 2024 race — was asked Wednesday night by “The Daily Show” guest host Charlamagne tha God if she was going to wear heels so she can tower over DeSantis at the third GOP debate next week in Miami. “I don’t know. We’ll have to figure that out,” Haley replied...I’ve never hid that from anybody. I’ve always said, ‘Don’t wear ’em if you can’t run in ’em,’ so we’ll see if he can run in ’em.” Trump’s super PAC, Make America Great Again Inc., also trolled DeSantis Wednesday...

Joe Biden flew to the Middle East on Wednesday to meet with leaders at the Hamas-Israeli War escalated overnight. Before he landed the leaders of Jordan and the West Bank announced they would not meet with the American president. Imagine that! During his press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Old Joe was forced to read softly from his note cards. He was too weak to think and speak for himself. More… Old Joe lost his place too. It did not go unnoticed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage · Follow How embarrassing was that?

The Pentagon disclosed that Chinese fighters have conducted more dangerous intercepts of American military aircraft in the last two years than that of the past decade. This is because China knows we are led by a very weak and compromised president who will do nothing to stop them. These incidents are a tool to show the world China can do what it wants to the United States and there isn't a damn thing we will do about it. China and Russia have sent fighters dangerously close to our aircraft during every presidential administration. One Chinese fighter even collided with an...

Childish and Criminally StupidWhile I believe that WWIII has started, the kinetic aspect is poised to topple over the edge of speculation into reality. Consider all that that means. All of the nation’s resources will have to be dedicated to that one purpose, to repel attacks and defend the homeland. This is not a foreign war as such, because this one will be partially fought here, on this soil. Politicians ensured that future with their nonsensical foreign policy of funding terrorist nations with billions both before and after Trump. Internally, the politicians that vote on policies are easily manipulated by...

So what do we make of Jesse Kelly? I’m probably no different to many in that I’ve searched for something, anything to replace a mere portion of Rush Limbaugh and his program. There are many pretenders, few contenders. I’ve addressed the ‘officially designated heirs’ of Clay Travis & Buck Sexton in another post. Their biggest problem is attempting to be nice guys while getting into the dirty business of politics. They simply won’t attack the Marxists & statists directly. They’ll criticize, they’ll complain but that’s about all. They have fallen into a rut of Chicken Little shrieking about all the...
