Joe Biden on Wednesday delivered remarks at the White House Conference on Women’s Health Research. Biden told the attendees that doctors opened up the top of his head twice and couldn’t find a brain. Joe Biden had multiple brain surgeries in the 1980s after suffering two brain aneurysms. “I have been a beneficiary of a lot of the research that’s been done. I had two cranial aneurysms; I had two nine-hour operations — they took the top of my head off twice and couldn’t find a brain the first time.” WATCH:

A Somali pirate from Minnesota has been sentenced to federal prison for his role in holding an American journalist hostage for nearly three years. What we know In a press release on Tuesday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said Abdi Yusuf Hassan, of Minneapolis, and Mohamed Tahlil Mohamed, of Somalia, received a 30-year prison sentence for hostage taking, terrorism and firearm offenses related to the 977-day captivity of American freelance journalist Michael Scott Moore.

Democrat vice presidential nominee Tim Walz teamed up with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on the streaming platform Twitch to playing video games in a desperate attempt to reach young male voters the Harris campaign is struggling to gain support from. The Washington Post reports that Minnesota Governor and Democrat vice presidential nominee Tim Walz joined forces with AOC on the streaming platform Twitch. The duo took to the virtual stage on Sunday to play video games and discuss a range of topics, from electoral politics to social security benefits.

t is truly mind blowing how certain elements of our society are ramping up the vitriol ahead of this election. There is apparently nothing to which they won’t stoop in their drive to divide. Democrat political operative James Carville, who reminds me of the male equivalent of Cruella Deville, says Democrats need to “take up arms” if Trump wins. Wait a minute, I thought it was the MAGA crowd who were the “election deniers” and the “insurrectionists,” no? Despite this over-the-top rhetoric from a well-known individual on a major corporate media network, if you google “James Carville calls for armed...

California made it illegal to even look at voters' IDs at the polls, even for dog catcher.

An elected official in charge of voter registration and tax collection in Texas hasn't swiped into her office for around four years .. Tax Assessor-Collector Ann Harris Bennett, who is responsible for the records of over 2.5 million voters, last accessed her office building in late 2020 according to county records that were seen by the newspaper. The Democrat, who assumed office in 2017 and is not seeking re-election in November, has oversight over voter registrations in Harris County, the most populous in Texas, which includes the city of Houston. County records also show Bennett has only sent 18 emails...

On July 26, in the aftermath of the Democratic Party's ruthless midsummer coup of their own democratically elected presidential nominee, this column predicted that the elevation of dimwitted cackler-in-chief Kamala Harris to the party's presidential slot would "spectacularly backfire." More specifically, I wrote: "Practically, the path to winning 270 Electoral College votes still runs through the Rust Belt states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. It is frankly bizarre for Democrats to swap out the man who talks ceaselessly about his hardscrabble Scranton upbringing for a Californian who boasts the most left-wing voting record of any presidential nominee in modern history."

This pro-Tim Walz ad is so horrifically bad that my first thought was, it must be a parody. But it is said to have been produced by the same people who made this one, which is real and to which the Walz ad bears some resemblance. So on balance, I think it is another misguided attempt by the Democrats to make their candidates seem human: Brent Sher on X: If you thought that ad of the men for Kamala was cringe, wait until you see the same group's Tim Walz video

President Kamala Harris spoke to a high school football team about what it means to be a role model and added that part of being a leader is knowing they would be “undefeated” if even they did not win each game. While speaking to football players from Aliquippa Junior/Senior High School in Pennsylvania on Sunday, Harris spoke to the team about how the United States was “counting on” them and their “excellence,” applauding the players for their “ambition.”

The pro-LGBT brain rot has seemingly made its way all the way to the world Olympics. No matter what any blue-haired gender studies major tells you (they likely told Bach anyway), chromosomes are the most accurate way to tell a person’s sex. Some in the LGBT community have suggested otherwise by citing the existence of intersex individuals but, as one 2002 report shows, the prevalence of intersex individuals has been greatly exaggerated.

FReepers: Try doing a search for William Mickinley using Goog and check out how the results come up. We did this, and the way the results are posted is creepy.There is a picture of Trump posted, next to pic of Mickinley (we did not put Trump's name in the search) and underneath President Trump's pic is the word died and date of 9/14/1901. While this refers to the date of Mickinley's death, it's just disturbing IMO.

DONGYANG, China (Reuters) - It's the end of a school day in the eastern Chinese city of Dongyang, and eager parents collect their children after a hectic day of primary school. But that's just the start of busy times for dozens of egg vendors across the city, deep in coastal Zhejiang province, who ready themselves to cook up a unique springtime snack favored by local residents. Basins and buckets of boys' urine are collected from primary school toilets. It is the key ingredient in "virgin boy eggs", a local tradition of soaking and cooking eggs in the urine of young...

President Joe Biden said during a fundraiser Friday in San Francisco, California, that he wished former President Donald Trump had injected himself with bleach. While speaking at the fundraiser on Friday, Biden referenced a false claim that Trump had once suggested people “inject bleach” to help treat the coronavirus, saying he wished the former president “had done a little bit himself,” according to the Jerusalem Post.

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby stated that while you can’t equate Israel’s actions to Hamas launching the October 7 attack, “it’s difficult to say” how close Israel is to becoming indistinguishable from Hamas. Host Wolf Blitzer asked, “You heard Secretary Blinken earlier today, suggest — he warned that there’s a real risk the way Israel is waging its war in Gaza right now is making it indistinguishable from Hamas. How close is Israel to that point?”

Before epilepsy was understood to be a neurological condition, people believed it was caused by the moon, or by phlegm in the brain. They condemned seizures as evidence of witchcraft or demonic possession, and killed or castrated sufferers to prevent them from passing tainted blood to a new generation. Today we know epilepsy is a disease. It’s accepted that a person who causes a fatal traffic accident while in the grip of a seizure should not be charged with murder. That’s good, says Stanford University neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky. That’s progress. But there's still a long way to go. After more...

Daniel 12:8 KJV – “And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?” The prophet Daniel had been listening intently to the angel Gabriel pronouncing a series of mind-blowing messages. God was revealing the rise and fall of great empires, leading eventually to a global empire led by a despot whom the Apostle John would later call the Antichrist, with its inevitable demise at the divine hand of God. Of course, all these great empires were still so far off in the future, from Daniel’s perspective, that he...
