Vice President Kamala Harris is set to hold a gay pride-themed Hollywood fundraiser on Saturday, just two days after Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance that has Democrat leaders and donors scrambling, with many calling for his replacement on the presidential ticket.
The Hollywood shindig will feature entertainment industry bundlers including Rob Reiner and CAA honcho Kevin Huvane, as well as celebrities like Wicked actress Idina Menzel and The Simpsons star Yeardley Smith, according to a Deadline report. The fundraiser is being co-hosted by HRC — the scandal-plagued, radical LGBTQ lobbying group. Kamala Harris will have her work cut out for her on the heels of Biden’s embarrassing debate performance,
Almost every Democrat and leftist who saw the presidential debate on Thursday night and watched President Joe Biden melt down is "panicked" and plotting. From the legacy media, to mega-donors, to other Democrat electeds, they all want to know when Joe Biden will be replaced on the Democrat ticket.
Our Managing Editor Jennifer Van Laar outlined cogently how it could be done, while moving historic VP Kamala Harris to the side in the process. So, as the speculation grows louder (so much for "democracy"), so does the floating of names on who could be potential replacements MSNBC's Chief Political Analyst Chuck Todd pontificated about an open

Under normal circumstances, I would have said that the exclusion from last night’s presidential debate of anti-Semitism was so significant as to merit our full attention. After all, it’s not merely a question of Jews feeling comfortable on campus or elsewhere; it’s a steady stream of violent riots that have taken a can of bear spray to American civic life.
And yet, it honestly feels silly even complaining about that—or anything else issue-based, for that matter. The feeling of crisis at this moment is so acute that all issues take a backseat—and that is a crisis all its own.
The crisis is international. Maybe even more so than it is domestic.
President Joe Biden is not dropping out of the presidential race after his disastrous debate performance, Biden campaign spokesperson Seth Schuster told the Hill Friday.
Pressure is mounting on Biden to step down after Democrat and media hysteria.
Biden, who mumbled and sounded raspy, appeared to lose track of his thoughts a few times. Even during his prepared closing statement, Biden did not deliver without error.
Sixty-seven percent said Trump won the debate, a CNN flash poll of debate watchers found Thursday.
New York Times columnist Tom Friedman, who is Biden’s personal friend, called for him to drop out of the race. “I watched the Biden-Trump debate alone
Biden officials are pointing fingers at one another after the president suffered a series of malfunctions Thursday night during his first debate against former President Donald Trump. According to Axios, Biden’s debate was a "DEFCON 1" moment for Democrats— and now his aides are trying to point fingers at one another to blame someone for his train wreck performance.
A person in Biden’s inner circle argued that the 81-year-old president was “over prepared” and should have rested the week leading up to the debate.
Pollster Frank Luntz’s focus group of undecided voters want President Joe Biden to go, the pollster revealed after Thursday’s presidential debate.
CNN’s debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden drew strong reactions from Democrats — particularly the panel on CNN, which admitted that Biden had a poor performance.
“Anderson, this was a game-changing debate in the sense that right now as we speak, there is a deep, a wide, and a very aggressive panic in the Democratic Party,” CNN host John King said after the debate:
It started minutes into the debate and it continues right now. It involves party strategists; it involves elected officials; it involves fundraisers.
The Biden administration appeared to backpedal on the issue of child sex change attempts, now saying it does not support sex change operations on minors. The apparent about-face comes just after it was revealed that a trans-identifying Biden official pressured an organization to eliminate age requirements for the surgical procedures.
A White House spokesman said plainly that “the Administration does not support surgery for minors” on Wednesday in a comment that came amid a broader controversy surrounding the use of sex change interventions on children.
The statement puts the White House at odds with numerous Democrat states and transgender activist organizations, both of which have waged a campaign
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."

OMAHA, Neb. — Investor Warren Buffett announced another $5.3 billion in charitable gifts Friday, but in a major shift of his longtime giving plan he said he plans to cut off donations to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation after his death and let his three children decide how to distribute the rest of his $128 billion fortune.

Washington—The Supreme Court on Friday limited a federal obstruction law that has been used to charge hundreds of Capitol riot defendants as well as former President Donald Trump.
The justices ruled 6-3 that the charge of obstructing an official proceeding, enacted in 2002 in response to the financial scandal that brought down Enron Corp., must include proof that defendants tried to tamper with or destroy documents. Only some of the people who violently attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, fall into that category.
The overwhelming majority of the approximately 1,000 people who have been convicted of or pleaded guilty to Capitol riot-related federal crimes were not charged with obstruction
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.”
The border crisis created by Joe Biden and his administration has allowed roughly ten million illegal border crossings since he took office, including nearly two million known 'got-aways.' This is a disgrace to the rule of law, an assault on our national sovereignty, and a scourge of unfairness to those who attempt to follow our laws and come to the country through legal means. Beyond that, it's also a mass-scale public safety and national security threat. When millions of people are permitted to come into the country illegally with impunity -- whether they're totally unvetted or insufficiently "vetted" -- there will be dangerous people and forces who
Former Trump strategist Steve Bannon promised that his MAGA media empire would keep broadcasting even as he prepared to report to prison for a four-month sentence on Monday.
He sent a message to DailyMail.com on Friday, soon after the Supreme Court rejected his attempt to delay his sentence for defying a subpoena in the congressional investigation into the January 6 attack.
'I'm a political prisoner. And I won't be the last until we rid ourselves of the Biden regime's lawfare,' he said.
President Joe Biden's poor performance at the first presidential debate Thursday night perfectly encapsulated how he earned himself the nickname "Pinnochio-in-chief." Filled with falsehoods and flat-out lies, Biden's responses ranged from lying about his economic record to denying that American troops had died abroad during his presidency.Biden lied about being the only U.S. president in the past decade who had no American troops die "anywhere in the world."
"Truth is: I'm the only president this century that doesn’t have any—this decade—that doesn't have any troops dying anywhere in the world, like [Trump] did,"
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.
The New York Times editorial board on Friday urged President Joe Biden to exit the presidential election contest against Donald Trump, citing the Democrat's poor debate performance the night before.
"The president appeared on Thursday night as the shadow of a great public servant," the Times editorial said. "He struggled to explain what he would accomplish in a second term. He struggled to respond to Mr. Trump's provocations. He struggled to hold Mr. Trump accountable for his lies, his failures and his chilling plans. More than once, he struggled to make it to the end of a sentence." "Mr. Biden has said that he is the candidate with the best
In a recent segment on Fox News, former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany dropped what she described as a “bombshell” concerning the current state of the Biden campaign.
McEnany quoted a post from Doug Kass, a hedge fund owner and prominent figure within the Democratic party, who claimed to have insider knowledge about a meeting taking place between President Joe Biden, his former Chief of Staff Ron Klain, and former President Barack Obama.
According to Kass’s post, Jill Biden is insistent about Joe Biden running for re-election, causing tension within his own campaign.
Donald Trump twisted the knife into Joe Biden after his disastrous debate performance by celebrating a 'big victory' and suggesting the U.S. can't survive four more years of his presidency if he can't make it through 90 minutes on stage.
The former president insisted that the 81-year-old is staying in the race despite Democratic Party calls for him to be replaced and a CNN primetime appearance where he 'didn't know what the hell he was doing'.
The 77-year-old took the rally stage in Virginia after the state's Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin, who was once tipped to be a challenger for the GOP presidential nomination.
Former President Barack Obama on Friday rushed to President Joe Biden’s rescue following a lackluster debate performance, one that sent many Democrats into a spiral of panic, the former president asserting that “bad debate nights happen.”
“Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know,” Obama said in a statement shared to social media, urging Americans to look beyond Biden’s dismal debate performance. “But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself,” Obama claimed.
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’s widely criticized debate performance reportedly caused Democrat donors to turn their back on the president’s reelection campaign.
Pressure is mounting on Biden to step down, as many Democrats and media members displayed hysteria following a disastrous Thursday debate.
Biden, who held a rally in Raleigh on Friday, his first campaign stop since the debate, was also scheduled to attend a fundraiser in New York Friday evening.
Democrat donors backed out of attending Biden’s Friday event, New York Times reporter Kenneth P. Vogel revealed Friday in a now-deleted X post.

Chinese commentators basked in the wake of President Biden’s widely panned debate showing Thursday, savaging the 81-year-old on everything from his appearance to his voice to how often he blinked.
Even media from America’s closest European allies lambasted the president’s “horrific’’ performance — while Vladimir Putin’s rep claimed the Russian dictator slept through the train-wreck showdown.
“This debate was very entertaining for many Chinese people,” Hu Xijin, an influential pundit and ex-state media editor, wrote on X early Friday, brutally characterizing Biden’s and GOP foe Donald Trump’s Atlanta showdown as “a negative advertisement for Western democracy.”

Mental Sharpness Exposed by Debate Performance replies
President Joe Biden’s performance at Thursday night’s first presidential debate thoroughly discredited his many defenders in the press and in the Democratic party who have consistently downplayed concerns that he might not be fit for the job, and have even gone so far as to publicly attack reporters — and the Biden Justice Department — for suggesting otherwise.
Throughout his presidency, Biden has appeared out of sorts during public appearances, lost his train of thought, and struggled to perform basic physical tasks. But when the footage of those damning moments inevitably went viral, Biden’s allies would insist the videos were misleadingly edited and didn’t capture the youthful vigor
Sometimes, when you ask the right questions, you don’t ask why people in assisted living facilities suddenly realize Joe Biden is more than a few french fries short of a Happy Meal, and instead you ask why Politico proactively had a journalist embedded in an assisted living facility to get feedback on Joe Biden.Seriously. What did Politico know about the debate in advance, such that it was an assignment to have a top headline article prepped? I think we all know the answer to that question. Essentially, the entire professional political class in DC knows about an operation to replace Joe Biden. If you understand
CNN, a far-left propaganda outlet that spreads conspiracy theories and violence, thought it had rigged Thursday night’s presidential debate in His Fraudulency Joe Biden’s favor. Watching it backfire in their smug faces was a true thing of beauty.

The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that barring people from camping in public parks and imposing fines on those who do does not criminalize the status of homelessness and does not amount to cruel and unusual punishment.
The 6-3 decision in Johnson v. Grants Pass authored by Justice Neil Gorsuch reverses a Ninth Circuit ruling and is a win for West Coast governments, assuring that they have the authority to enforce anti-camping laws and to clear sprawling homeless camps from their parks and sidewalks. The ruling comes as unsheltered homelessness has skyrocketed on the West Coast.
President Biden gave a positive assessment of his debate performance during a quick stop at an Atlanta area Waffle House.
Asked by a reporter about his showdown with former President Donald Trump, Biden said, “I think we did well.” “Do you have any concerns that you’re not fit for the job, about your voice, your performance tonight—do you have any concerns about your performance?” the reporter followed up.
“No,” Biden replied. “It’s hard to debate a liar. New York Times pointed how he lied 26 times. Big lies.” He was then asked about his illness, after it was reported during the debate that he had a cold.
The US Supreme Court on Friday delivered a devastating blow to Biden’s corrupt Justice Department and overturned the obstruction charge used to jail hundreds of January 6 defendants.
Biden’s corrupt DOJ charged more than 300 J6ers with 18 USC §1512(c)(2). Additionally, two of the four charges against Trump in Jack Smith’s DC case are conspiracy to obstruct so the Supreme Court’s ruling on Friday torpedoed the special counsel’s case against Trump as well.

ATLANTA — Above all, Joe Biden’s allies wanted him to demonstrate strength and energy on the debate stage to help put to rest questions about the 81-year-old Democrat’s physical and mental acuity. But on the biggest stage in U.S. politics on Thursday night, Biden did not meet their modest expectations. And by the end of the 90-minute showdown, the Democratic president’s allies — party strategists and rank-and-file voters alike — descended into all-out panic following a debate performance punctuated by repeated stumbles, uncomfortable pauses, and a quiet speaking style that was often difficult to understand. Publicly and privately, Democrats questioned
The Supreme Court on Friday issued a ruling overturning the 1984 Chevron v. National Resources Defense Council case, striking down a previous decision that granted federal agencies immensely broad power to draw up regulations without congressional approval.
The Court ruled in both Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless v. Department of Commerce — two nearly identical cases — that regulatory agencies will no longer be able to fill in the blanks of vague legislation in 6-2 and 6-3 decisions, respectively. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recused herself from the first case because she sat on the federal appeals court that had previously heard the case.
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday ruled in favor of a former police officer who is seeking to throw out an obstruction charge for joining the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
The justices in a 6-3 vote on nonideological lines handed a win to defendant Joseph Fischer, who is among hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants — including former President Donald Trump — who have been charged with obstructing an official proceeding over the effort to prevent Congress' certification of President Joe Biden’s election victory. The court concluded that the law, enacted in 2002 as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act after the Enron accounting scandal, was only intended
Conservative voices on the Supreme Court united to overturn a decades-old decision that gave a lot of deference to federal agencies and their ability to write rules with little input or oversight from Congress.
In a pair of decisions — Relentless, Inc. v. Department of Commerce and Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo — the Supreme Court ruled that the decades-old Chevron deference, a judicial test that would give deference to federal agencies so long as their interpretations of federal rules are "reasonable" and so long as Congress had not spoken directly on those rules, was not a valid test for regulatory agencies.

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."
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.”
It was the first debate between a current and a former US president, and it was a doozy. Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump met in Atlanta Thursday night local time, more than four months ahead of the 2024 US presidential election, and discussed immigration, the economy and a host of other issues.
One of the biggest takeaways: The Democrats are in trouble.
All over the media in the past two days was Michelle Obama’s “exclusive” interview, in which she dished on the Biden family dysfunction.

Democrat strategist Donna Brazile admitted that the Democratic Party has “work to do” after President Joe Biden’s performance at the presidential debate but said he would be the party’s presidential nominee.
Brazile responded to a post on X from CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers saying that Biden is not “going anywhere” and all the people responding negatively to his performance at the debate need to “let go” of their pearls.“Biden ain’t going nowhere,” Sellers wrote. “It’s June. Let go of your pearls and dry your bed. He lost a debate. Bad. But it’s June. You’re not replacing him. So leave your random combinations in your chats.”
The media is aghast, panicked, and shell-shocked over Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance, which might have been the final nail in the coffin of the Biden 2024 campaign. It was a painful 90 minutes where Joe Biden seemed aloof, mentally slow, and incapable of defending his agenda or attacking Trump. In short, everything we’ve been saying about the president regarding his physical and mental health was showcased for the entire nation. There’s no selective editing here—this is Joe. Maybe I’m overthinking this, but many on social media clipped this bit from CNN host Erin Burnett. It seemed as if she was inadvertently admitting that the Biden camp was fed the

The debate Thursday night was a complete and total disaster for the Democratic Party. Joe Biden pounded his chest over the prospect of debating Donald Trump. His side was eager to do it. The party, in general, seemed to be primed for the showdown. But time is a funny thing in politics. It’s the most valuable resource, and often, operatives say there’s not enough to get everything they want done in a campaign. For Biden, too much time has allowed his weaknesses and party fractures to fester, leading to a full-blown stage 4 diagnosis of political cancer that might have undone the president against Donald Trump.
According to Democrats and their allies in the media, President Joe Biden's debate performance Thursday night against former President Donald Trump was a disaster. So much so that high profile party members are calling for Biden to be replaced as the nominee before the Democratic National Convention in August.

Many if not most Americans tuning into the debate Thursday night were probably shocked at President Joe Biden’s performance.
He was confused and tired. He mumbled and bumbled through his answers. He looked at times despondent. He had trouble keeping focused. His closing statement was perhaps the worst in the history of presidential debates. And this was after spending a week at Camp David resting and preparing.
Anyone who was surprised by his performance should be asking themselves Why? Why didn’t they know how bad a state Biden is in? How did the White House keep this under wraps for so long?
I’m almost young enough to be Joe Biden’s son. (But I’m not.)
When I see the doctor for my annual physical, she typically tells me at the outset that she wants me to remember three arbitrary words – something like “elephant, ice and automobile” – and intends to ask me what the three words are at the end of my examination.
I always see it as a challenge. At the end, I’ll remind her impishly, “Didn’t you intend to ask me what the three words are?”
“Oh, right,” she’ll reply.

Joe Biden was just an utter train wreck in the debate.
He started out like he was on speed, and it sounded like he had memorized the answers he was trying to give, although they all came out in a jumble.
But if he was memorizing answers, that would suggest that he might know what the questions were. And at times, particularly in the beginning, it sounded like he did know what was coming.
Now that's going to get even more questions after what CNN's Erin Burnett admitted during a discussion afterward about how badly Biden did.

It was clear within the first few minutes that the presidential debate was not going to go well for President Joe Biden. His breath was heavy, his voice was raspy and faint, his physical bearing poor. When he wasn't speaking, his mouth was agape. His answers rambled, and he was sometimes incoherent. Every so often, he coughed noticeably. He did not look well.
This wasn't the hyped-up, partisan Biden who appeared at the State of the Union in March. This was the Biden who mumbled argle-bargle at the White House's Juneteenth celebration.
The contrast with former president Donald Trump was apparent. Trump was confident, direct, and forceful.
The mood at CNN after tonight’s presidential debate was downright funereal. Biden’s performance was a disaster and everyone knows it.
When Van Jones commented on it, he said that this was a test for Biden and that he ‘failed’ to reassure voters that he should be given another four years. He even said “That was painful.”

CNN host John King said Thursday on CNN’s post-presidential debate that top Democrats are in a panic after President Joe Biden’s debate performance.
King said, “Anderson this was a game changing debate in the sense that right now as we speak, there is a deep, a wide, and a very aggressive panic in the Democratic Party. It started minutes into the debate and it continues right now. It involves party strategy just an involves elected officials. It involves fundraisers. And they’re having conversations about the president’s performance, which they think was dismal,
I have to say, I'm still trying to process the train wreck we just saw at the debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
Joe Biden had one job tonight. Just one. He had to prove he was capable of handling the presidency, and I challenge anyone to say with a straight face that he accomplished that Thursday night. Many of us were expecting that the Joe Biden we were going to see at the debate would look like the Joe Biden we saw at the State of the Union. Well, that guy didn't show up. The Joe Biden we've been seeing every day before the State of the Union,
That was BRU-TAL. We knew that there would be surprises and perhaps a bit of entertainment with this first (and maybe last) presidential debate of 2024 between President Joe Biden and former President and presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump. What we had no idea about is that Trump would mop the floor with Biden quite so effectively.
Yet, here we are. [Tweet]
Not since the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon debate have we seen such a terrible performance, and wherever Dick Nixon is, I'm sure he's grateful that someone else took that distinction.
Whoever's job it was to mix Joe's cocktail failed miserably. Biden's voice was terrible, his cough persistent,
Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on CNN to give her post-debate assessment and was pushed very hard by anchor Anderson Cooper about Biden’s flailing performance.
Cooper spoke of Democrats describing “panic” over Biden’s “disaster” or “train wreck” of a debate.
“Some within your own party are wondering if President Biden should even step aside. What do you say to that?” he asked. (Snip) “It was a slow start, but it was a strong finish,” Harris began. “Joe Biden is extraordinarily strong.“
“People can debate on style points,” she added when pressed by Cooper.
Vice President Kamala Harris dodged questioning about President Joe Biden‘s poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump Thursday evening, instead trying to pivot to contrasting the two candidate’s policy stances.
“First of all, what we saw tonight is the president making a very clear contrast with Donald Trump on all of the issues that matter to the American people,” Harris told CNN host Anderson Cooper in a video interview. “Yes, there was a slow start but it was a strong finish.” The CNN debate in Atlanta, Georgia saw Biden struggle to tamp down concerns about his mental acuity after he stumbled in his response to Trump, appeared confused
As we reported earlier, the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle saw former President Donald Trump land a knockout punch against President Joe Biden very early on, with Biden looking and acting his age, his voice sounding hoarse and scratchy, and his mouth hanging open at times as shown on the split screen.
Trump made several great points about the border crisis throughout the debate, peppering the issue into answers he gave on other issues, like on jobs and Social Security. In a failed attempt to push back, Biden declared that the border patrol "endorsed" him.

In response, the Border Patrol Union fact-checked Biden immediately,
Let’s say it right now: Donald Trump might have won the 2024 election tonight. You’d think President Joe Biden would have at least a good performance for one-third or even two-thirds of the debate. That never happened. Biden was incapable of delivering cogent and coherent remarks about the cornerstones of his presidency. He was incapable of defending what little legislative wins he clinched during his first term and was lost trying to pivot and deflect from the pointed attacks from Donald Trump.
The establishment media delivered a damning review of President Joe Biden’s Thursday debate performance.
Biden, who mumbled and sounded raspy, appeared to lose track of his thoughts a few times. “I wish Biden would reflect on this debate performance and then announce his decision to withdraw from the race, throwing the choice of Democratic nominee to the convention,” New York Times’ columnist Nicholas Kristof posted on X. CNN’s Kasie Hunt underscored the difference between Biden and former President Donald Trump.
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
ATLANTA — President Joe Biden was supposed to put the nation’s mind at ease over his physical and mental capacity with his debate showing Thursday night.
But from the onset of the debate, the 81-year-old seemingly struggled even to talk, mostly summoning a weak, raspy voice. In the opening minutes, the president repeatedly tripped over his words, misspoke and lost his train of thought.
In one of the most notable moments, Biden ended a rambling statement that lacked focus by saying, “We finally beat Medicare,” before moderators cut him off and transitioned back to Trump.

Well, the first presidential debate of the 2024 campaign season is officially over, and pretty much all anyone can talk about in the aftermath of it is how President Joe Biden looked and sounded, which - incredibly - was even worse than he normally looks and sounds on any given day.
On Friday, we wrote about the warning NBC News/MSNBC political analyst Elise Jordan gave about how Biden "absolutely cannot have a senior moment at this debate" because focus group Democrats she'd talked to in states like Michigan and Wisconsin had stressed that they had serious concerns about Biden's age and fitness to lead.
It was, she correctly pointed out, "an albatross
Moments after concluding their presidential debate Thursday night, CNN journalists were in a full-blown panic over President Biden’s performance. They were disturbed by Biden’s “problematic” and “dismal” performance and admitted they were hearing from very senior Democrats that they were seriously thinking about removing Biden from the top of the ticket.
“Anderson this was a game-changing debate in the sense that right now as we speak, there is a deep, a wide, and a very aggressive panic in the Democratic Party,” chief national correspondent John King announced.

While some corporations don't seem capable of figuring out that the American people aren't into woke policies and DEI initiatives, Tractor Supply Co. (TSC) seems to have deduced the secret code into keeping customers, and possibly even expanding their base.
According to Filmmaker and journalist Robby Starbuck, TSC was found to have given $100,000 to an activist group that "worked around the clock" to stop deportations under the Trump administration. The group was called "Conexion Americas' and was previously headed by the National Council of La Raza, a George Soros funded organization.
When Starbuck broke the news, Hal Lawton was inundated with posts from angry
A raspy and sometimes halting President Joe Biden repeatedly sought to confront in their first debate ahead of the November election, as his Republican rival countered Biden’s criticism by leaning into falsehoods about the economy, illegal immigration and his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. [SNIP] Meanwhile, the 78-year-old Trump’s rhetoric offered Americans an unwelcome reminder of the bombast he launched daily during his tumultuous four years in office, as he struggles to win over skeptical voters.
