First Lady Jill Biden offered a rare personal glimpse into her views on abortion during a political fundraiser in San Francisco on Friday, retelling the story of how her mother helped care for a teenage friend who got an abortion 60 years ago. Biden, who was 17 at the time, said her friend didn’t want to be pregnant, but learned that a doctor would only perform an abortion if she underwent a psychiatric evaluation and was declared mentally unfit. It was the late 1960s, before the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision, and abortion was illegal in Pennsylvania, where she

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he was open to another run for the White House in 2024.
The brash-talking Garden State pol floated the idea during an appearance on “Real Time With Bill Maher,” which aired Friday, in response to an audience question on the subject.
Sure,” he said, when if he was interested.
“This show’s rubbing off on him, he’s getting very bold,” Maher said.
“Yeah, that was me, I never had the reputation of being bold. Wallflower type,” Christie shot back.
Christie ran for president in 2016, along with 16 other major contenders — all of whom were defeated by Donald Trump.

HBO has timed the release of a new documentary on President Joe Biden’s first year in office to just three weeks before the midterm elections in what appears like the latest effort by Hollywood to rally support for Democrats and make the deeply unpopular Biden look more presidential.
In one indication as to how Biden will be portrayed, the documentary is being executive produced by far-left New York Times White House and national security correspondent David Sanger, who is also a frequent personality on CNN.
Year One: A Political Odyssey is set to debut on HBO October 19 and will also stream on HBO Max.

Sniffling and choking back tears, CNN’s Don Lemon on Friday delivered an emotional farewell as he signed off on his final primetime show, “Don Lemon Tonight,” before moving to anchor the network’s morning show on Monday. “I was not always perfect, because no one is perfect,” Lemon said after playing a montage of highlights from his eight-year run on primetime. “There are immense pressures that come with this job and in particular this time slot at 10 o’clock, when people are going to bed. So sometimes all I could do — I am going to be honest with you

(Tweet/Video) One of the most progressive House of Representatives in the U.S., Cori Bush, is claiming that because she is black, she was forced to have an abortion.
While speaking to PBS’ Firing Line with Margaret Hoover, Bush said that at 19 she went into a clinic to have an abortion done, (not her first one) and after telling nurses that she wasn’t ready, Bush says that she was forced to have the procedure done against her will.
“I was thinking back to the first abortion, ‘Okay, you’ve done this before, you know the rooms, you know what it looks like, you know what it feels like in this place,

Sen. Mitch McConnell has no excuse. The ads his political group is producing to attack Alaska Republican Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka are beyond the pale.
Campaign attacks intensify in October because as the election runway gets shorter, it takes a sharp message to catch voters’ attention and seal the deal. But the money being spent by McConnell and his Senate Leadership Fund to attack a fellow Republican — one who may win and join the Senate to be his colleague — should shock the sensibilities of all conservatives.
And it is shocking Alaskans, indeed. McConnell’s determination to destroy another Republican’s reputation is driving Alaskans away from the Republican Party

PayPal has backtracked on a published policy that would have fined users $2,500 for spreading “misinformation,” claiming the update had gone out “in error.”
“An AUP notice recently went out in error that included incorrect information. PayPal is not fining people for misinformation and this language was never intended to be inserted in our policy. Our teams are working to correct our policy pages. We’re sorry for the confusion this has caused,” a spokesperson told National Review in a written statement.
The course reversal comes after the policy changes had started to attract media scrutiny as well as criticism on Twitter. Former PayPal president David Marcus even blasted the company

The headline over at Fox News this last week told the tale:
Tony Bobulinski tells Tucker Carlson Joe Biden was 'chairman' of Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings
Fox’s Tucker Carlson — aka a real journalist — had scored another interview with one-time Biden family business associate Tony Bobulinski. And mysteriously?
Two days later the Washington Post soon appeared with its own Hunter Biden story, headlining this: Federal agents see chargeable tax, gun-purchase case against Hunter Biden
The Post story reported this:
“Federal agents investigating President Biden’s son Hunter have gathered what they believe is sufficient evidence to charge him with tax crimes

The voting initiative founded by former first lady Michelle Obama is hooking up with a dating app that created a controversial vulgar video to boost black voter participation in the upcoming midterm elections, contests of historical significance with the future of America literally hanging in the balance.
When We All Vote will be partnering with BLK, a dating app that targets black singles to do “voter registration activations” and which recently released the video titled “No Voting No Vucking” that features rappers reciting saucy sexual lyrics like “gerrymander this coochie” and “legs in the air, I don’t care. Anyone can get it, universal healthcare.”

Schools Chancellor David Banks quietly promoted Mayor Adams’ girlfriend to a top job at the Department of Education, just months after Adams hired Banks’ girlfriend as a deputy mayor, The Post has learned. Banks named Tracey Collins—Adams’ longtime partner and NYC’s unofficial First Lady—the DOE’s “senior advisor to the deputy chancellor of school leadership,” Desmond Blackburn. She started the new job in July, and got a giant, 23% raise to $221,597 a year, records show. Hizzoner named Banks’ girlfriend, Sheena Wright, and four other women deputy mayors last Dec. 21. Deputy mayors made $251,982 in FY 21. Both women’s advancement underscores the tight inner circle of the Adams administration.

They spent about two hours meeting officials and seeing facilities, before visiting the college bookstore where Biden posed for selfies and could even be seen talking on wellwisher's phone.
They were joined for the tour by Penn President Elizabeth Magill, Sophia Rosenfield, Professor of History -
