HWASEONG, South Korea — A lithium battery factory in South Korea was set on fire after multiple batteries exploded on Monday, killing 22 workers, most of them Chinese nationals, fire officials said. The fire and a series of explosions ripped through the factory run by primary battery manufacturer Aricell in Hwaseong, an industrial cluster southwest of the capital Seoul. The victims likely succumbed to extremely toxic gas within seconds of the blaze getting out of control, the officials said. It was unclear what caused the explosions and the fire was largely extinguished in about six hours.

in Pennsylvania — with black voucher
support above 90% 3 replies
Surrounded by dozens of teachers-union officials on the steps of the Pennsylvania state Capitol this month, Democratic state Sen. Lindsey Williams excoriated a proposed K-12 education-voucher program. She called it a conspiracy by racist, religious fundamentalists bent on destroying public education by driving “straight, white, able-bodied kids into private religious schools.” The next day, a group of black religious leaders gathered in the state Capitol to tell Gov. Josh Shapiro to support the voucher program, called the Pennsylvania Award for Student Success. And later that same day, Jay-Z announced he will fund a campaign to mobilize support for the legislation in Philadelphia
President Biden and former President Trump faced off on the CNN presidential debate stage Thursday night, but suggested another showdown--this time, in an unlikely setting. The golf course. During the CNN Presidential Debate, CNN moderator Dana Bash presented the age Biden and Trump would be at the end of a potential second term. Biden would be 86. Trump would be 82. Biden defended his age, saying he "spent half my career being criticized about being the youngest person in politics. I was the second youngest person ever elected to the United States Senate, and now I’m the oldest. This guy is three years younger and a lot less competent."

‘Free Palestine’ 8 replies
A newly promoted Biden administration official has come under fire over old social media posts that compared police to “slave patriots” and celebrated the anti-Israel movement. Department of Interior worker Tyler Cherry’s incendiary tweets began to re-emerge shortly after he was promoted last week to join the White House communications team. Cherry, who spent three years working under Secretary of the Inferior Deb Haaland, wrote in 2015 amid the death of Freddie Gray, a black man who died in police custody, “Praying for #Baltimore, but praying even harder for an end to a capitalistic police state motivated by explicit and implicit racial biases.”
CNN abruptly cut Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt from the air Monday morning — just days before the network is set to host the first presidential debate between her boss and President Joe Biden. Anchor Kasie Hunt pulled the plug just minutes after the interview got underway after asking Leavitt what former President Donald Trump’s strategy was for when he takes to the stage in Atlanta, Ga. on Thursday. “President Trump is well prepared ahead of Thursday’s debates. Unlike Joe Biden, he doesn’t have to hide away and have his advisors tell him what to say. President Trump knows what he wants to say,” Leavitt started.
Young people have long leaned left. But some Gen Zers — including those raised in progressive homes — are questioning the status quo and realizing they’re not actually Democrats. Although more than half of Gen Z do not identify with a political party, more than a fifth (21%) identify as Republican. The Post spoke to four young voters who left the left about their political journeys:

The left-leaning fact checking website Snopes acknowledged Saturday that former President Trump never called neo-Nazis “very fine people” during his press conference following the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally in 2017. Critics of Trump have claimed for years that he equated neo-Nazis with counterprotesters following the event. President Biden was chief among those critics, citing the supposed incident as a main reason for launching his 2020 campaign.

It’s a sweltering start to the summer as a heat advisory is in effect for New York City on Friday, sending temperatures soaring into the 90s — with no relief in sight for days. The Post’s thermometer read a stifling 100 degrees in Times Square by mid-afternoon. By Sunday, we’ll be close to record heat when the mercury is expected to climb to a high of 94 with real-feel temps reaching 101, according to FOX Weather.

Millions just witnessed the end of a presidency live on television.
Joe Biden’s performance during the debate was embarrassing.
Whenever CNN put him up on the split screen, he had a thousand-yard stare.
He didn’t look old.
He looked ancient.
He looked empty. But at least he wasn’t speaking.
Because when it was his time to answer, Biden was incoherent.
He said he “beat Medicaid.” (Photo) Asked about abortion, he randomly started talking about migrant crime.
“I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence,” former President Trump noted at one point, “and I don’t think he knows what he said either.”
At one point Biden just froze.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) told reporters in the spin room Thursday night in Atlanta after the first presidential debate of the 2024 general election on CNN that President Biden won the debate on the “substance.”
Newsom and Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) were sent into a phalanx of reporters as the Biden campaign’s surrogates with a seemingly impossible mission: spin a debate that even MSNBC thought Biden lost as a win for the incumbent.
“To me, that was daylight and darkness … I care about substance,” Newsom said. “This is not about style … Biden not only asserted himself, he reminded people of his accomplishments and his vision for the future.”
President Biden sought to tamp down the panic among some Democrats on Friday over his ability to lead the party heading into November following a calamitous debate performance a night earlier, delivering a more energized speech in North Carolina in which he acknowledged some of his shortcomings.
“Folks, I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to,” Biden said at a campaign rally in Raleigh. “But I know what I do know,” he continued. “I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong.
President Joe Biden, who reportedly will not drop out of the 2024 presidential race, will participate in the second debate in September, a Biden adviser told CNN Friday.
ABC News’ David Muir and Linsey Davis will serve as moderators for the September 10 debate. More details of the event, including rules, location, staging, and format, are not yet decided, according to ABC News. Pressure is mounting on Biden to step down as many Democrats and media members display hysteria following a disastrous Thursday debate.
Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that “every Republican” needs to stop referring to former President Donald Trump as “the president.”
“Can I say something that’s been bothering me? It’s been bothering me and bothering me!” Whoopi Goldberg said. “I would like every Republican out there to stop referring to this man as the president. He is not the president. He is the former president. And nobody can see the future, and same with the donors. You cannot buy the presidency. You can put in as much money as you want to but it’s not for sale so stop
On Friday morning after the presidential debate, ABC’s Good Morning America claimed that former President Donald Trump made more mistakes than President Joe Biden. One of the biggest focuses in this debate was if Biden was mentally fit to serve another four years; however, he was not able to meet this hope Thursday night.
Co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos admitted that “from the start, Joe Biden struggled to answer questions”, but unsurprisingly added that “Trump launched a series of lies and misleading attacks.”

Performance: ‘Given Us 3 Years of Solid Leadership’ 20 replies
Former President Bill Clinton defended President Joe Biden after his performance at the presidential debate on Thursday night against former President Donald Trump.
In a post on X, Clinton highlighted how Biden had “given us 3 years of solid leadership,” and created a “record number of new jobs,” and was “making real progress solving the climate crisis,” among other things.
“I’ll leave the debate rating to the pundits, but here’s what I know: fact and history matter,” Clinton wrote. “Joe Biden has given us 3 years of solid leadership, steadying us after the pandemic, creating a record number of new jobs, making real progress solving the climate crisis,
In the lead-up to Thursday night's debate, the conventional wisdom was that Biden had to convince everyone - party bosses and influential pundits especially - that he wasn't too old and addled to be the Democrat nominee again.
Biden more than bombed, and there are essentially unanimous calls among Democrats for the party to replace him as the nominee. The undeniable star of the CNN spin room has been California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who's in Atlanta as a Biden surrogate and who's now looking mighty attractive to Democrats as a replacement. He's young (ish), handsome (ish), has better poll numbers than Kamala Harris,
On Friday, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) filed a resolution calling on Vice President Kamala Harris to use her powers under the 25th Amendment to convene the Cabinet and declare President Joe Biden unfit to serve. This resolution comes after Roy posted his intention to do so on Friday morning, following Biden's disastrous debate performance. The resolution calls on Harris "to transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives notice that she will be immediately assuming the powers and duties of the office as Acting President."
What is Going on With Jill Biden?

Seriously, no snark. Give me your opinion because at a certain point I will admit my analysis starts to look at people through a very dark prism. Given what we continue to see getting worse by the day with the mental state of her husband, Jill Biden is really looking sketchy.
I’ll share why in another video, but to first put context to a rather alarming topic, we all need to watch this one. As you watch Jill Biden treat her husband like he’s an in-patient on a day outing, I want you to look carefully at her ring finger on her left hand.

During the RedState liveblog of the first 2024 presidential debate, some of my colleagues predicted that it was only a matter of time before the same media folks yada yadaing about "cheap fakes" as it relates to video clips of an incoherent Joe Biden would do a complete reversal post-debate and perhaps would even suggest Biden withdraw as the nominee. Sure enough, that is exactly what happened. As RedState's Levon Satamian reported, calls are already growing in liberal media circles and beyond for Biden to be replaced as the nominee either at the Democratic National Convention or maybe even sooner than that.
