What is it about Big Pharma that enamors the Biden administration? Is it that the major drug companies donate heavily to leftist causes? They donated nearly $6 million to President Joe Biden’s campaign — four times what they provided to President Trump — and, according to the American Accountability Foundation, they’ve given hundreds of thousands to the Democratic Governors Association, Democratic Attorney Generals Associations, and other similar Democratic-connected groups on the state level.

The reason why, isn't hard to figure out. Nobody gives away money without expecting a return on it.

Why ask why? The big guy will be getting a lot more than his usual 10%. Of all the presidents we've thought were crooks, this ninny actually IS one. At least he's an unindicted co-conspirator.

I thought he "beat Medicare"? A part of his rambling closing statement in the debacle was how "he" drastically reduced insulin cost. What gives?

The pharma companies have committed quite a few atrocities over the last few years. Democrats have had their back. Trump can't be bought.

A unique drug for which I paid a $150 co-pay for 19 years, now is "out of stock" and can only be obtained overseas for $4600. I'm sure this is due to Zeke Emmanuel's "Whole Lives" Obamacare. You know, kill off the old people.

Joe has wrecked everything else, why not drug prices? And like his FRAUDULENT "Inflation Reduction Act" which fueled much more inflation, his plan to "lower drug" prices, of course INCREASED drug prices, just as his bribers in the pharma industry wanted.

Big Pharma requires that the citizens of this country fund their 'research', thereby causing us to pay inflated prices for the same drugs available at cut rates across the world...and why is that???

For those who still think a possibility exists of Joe Biden taking the nomination from the 2024 Democrat Convention, just stop. There is no way for Joe Biden to be the nominee with this scale of democrats pushing him out. President Trump doesn’t have to spend a dime. There is so much anti-Biden publicity from within his own party, no further criticism is needed. The donors are blasting Biden, Hollywood is blasting Biden, the delegates to the convention and party officials are blasting him; the list is very long. Biden is toast.

“He loathes the laws we live by.” So begins Thursday’s New York Times editorial, ominously casting the words against a black-and-white image of an American flag fluttering in the background. The Times renders these indictments with the gravitas of an undertaker, like Moses descending the mountain with stone tablets in hand. In reality, the Times has proven it’s entirely unfit to evaluate the fitness of presidential candidates, whether it’s Joe Biden or Donald Trump. If the Times were qualified to speak to the American people about presidential fitness, it would not have misled them about Joe Biden’s health less than a week before the first 2024 presidential debate.

By now everyone knows the importance of James Clyburn in the 2024 election. Through his network, Clyburn controls the ballot counters in roughly 15 different urban areas. James Clyburn said earlier today the Democrats have until August 19th to replace Joe Biden through the open convention process. It does not seem coincidental that Clyburn would make this statement in combination with a letter sent by 24 professional democrats urging, imploring, Joe Biden to release his delegates and allow an open convention to determine the 2024 Democrat nominee.

On the billboards, first shared exclusively with The Hill, Milwaukee will see “Democracy is on the ballot, folks” and “Restore Roe? Vote for Joe!! “Joe Biden will: restore Roe, fight for freedoms, defend democracy,” another billboard reads. The billboards will be in English and Spanish and aims to remind “Milwaukee that Biden is the only candidate defending democracy and freedoms,” according to the DNC.

Let me tell you about far leftists. They are different from you and me. If ordinary people publicly threatened to assassinate the president or a presidential candidate or wished that someone else would do so, those people would have to answer to the law. But leftists? Even when they show the world how low they really are, they still think that they are better than we are, and with good reason: no matter how criminal their deeds or words are, they suffer no consequences. They are different.

Last week’s British elections — or, rather the results — ought to be food for thought for all the Americans who’ve griped about “undemocratic” features of the US system, especially the Electoral College. The Labor Party won a huge majority — 412 out of 650 seats, 63% of Parliament — by carrying just 34% of the popular vote, its worst showing in the last several full elections. This gives new Prime Minister Keir Starmer total control of both the executive and legislative branches of Britain’s government, and thus the ability to remake the judicial branch should he so choose.

Former President Donald Trump blasted a prospective policy agenda put forward by the conservative Heritage Foundation Friday, calling their plans “abysmal” and saying he has “nothing to do with them.” Project 2025, a collaboration of dozens of right-wing groups organized by Heritage, says it is meant to “get into the business of restoring this country through the combination of the right policies and well-trained people.” The project’s output includes a “180-day playbook” for the first six months of a new presidential administration — with proposed policies that have caused an uproar among liberals, including restrictions on immigration and abortion as well as shrinking the federal bureaucracy.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran held a runoff presidential election Friday pitting a hard-line former nuclear negotiator against a reformist lawmaker, though both men earlier struggled to convince a skeptical public to cast ballots in the first round that saw the lowest turnout in the Islamic Republic’s history. Government officials up to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei predicted a higher participation rate as voting took place, with state television airing images of modest lines at some polling centers across the country.

It really is remarkable to watch the similarities between left-wing politics in the USA and left-wing politics in France. Historically, and in actual practice, we see this similarity as history rhymes and repeats. In both instances, you will note how the “mainstream” Democrats align with the communists to stop the majority of commonsense patriots. In the USA, Democrats enjoy the activity of their foot soldiers in Antifa (Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, or RevCom etc.) In France, the Democrats (NPF), within Macron’s camp, enjoy the activity of Black Bloc (the EU Antifa socialists and communists).

Trump was seen pumping his fist as he was rushed to a car by Secret Service. Soldiers in military gear were seen rushing into the rally.

Law enforcement officials admitted it was “surprising” how the gunman was able to get so many shots off in the attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump before he was taken out by Secret Service snipers. During a press conference early Sunday, officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pennsylvania State Police deferred several questions about security to the Secret Service — who were notably absent. When asked if he was surprised at the number of shots the gunman was able to take at a former president, Kevin Rojek, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh field office, said:

The gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump Saturday was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, sources told The Post. Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pa., squeezed off shots — one of which grazed Trump in the ear — at an outdoor rally in Butler, just outside Pittsburgh. Sources said Crooks was planted on a roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards away from the stage at Butler Farm Show grounds. He was killed by Secret Service snipers. An AR-style rifle was later recovered. Bethel Park is a village 40 miles south of where the Butler rally was held. Why Crooks fired on the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is unclear.

He addressed the media about two hours after shots were fired at Trump during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. There's no place in America this kind of violence, it's sick. It's sick,' he said. 'It's one of the reasons we have to unite this country. The president said he was trying to reach Trump, who is believed to be in a hospital near the rally site.

An analysis of the 2024 presidential election by FiveThirtyEight found that while the election was close, President Joe Biden was still favored to win, despite his poor debate performance. FiveThirtyEight found that Biden was favored to win the November presidential election “50 times out of 100,” whereas former President Donald Trump was favored to win the presidential election “49 times out of 100.” The predicted outcomes were a result of FiveThirtyEight’s “simulations of the 2024 presidential election.” Out of 1,000 simulations, FiveThirtyEight found that Biden won 505 times, while Trump won 491 times.

Former and potentially future President Donald Trump was shot at his rally in Butler County in Pennsylvania on Saturday night, an incident that could have been much worse had Trump turned his head a different way. Secret Service agents quickly sprang into action to escort him off of the stage and to safety. In light of such serious news, it's worth reminding that Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), who was chairman of the January 6 Select Committee, just months ago introduced legislation to deny presidents who were convicted of felonies. Trump was ultimately convicted of 34 charges in New York City on May 30.

The gun used in the attempted assassination was an “AR-style 556 rifle” that was purchased legally, FBI Special Agent Kevin Rojek tells reporters.

An eyewitness at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania claims he saw a man with a rifle on a rooftop. He said he warned authorities but was ignored. "We couldn't see [Trump], but we could hear him. So we walked up probably five to seven minutes from Trump speaking—I'm estimating here, I've no idea. But we noticed the guy crawling, bear-crawling up the roof of the building beside us, fifty feet away from us. So we're standing there, you know, we're pointing, we're pointing at that guy crawling up the roof." "He had a gun, right?"

On July 8, CNN reported that while defending his campaign in a video call with top donors, President Joe Biden said: “We’re done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump in the bull’s-eye. We can’t go another day, another day, without explaining what he’s doing, and we have to go after him.” Five days later, someone apparently took Biden up on his word and tried to assassinate Donald Trump at a campaign rally north of Pittsburgh.

On Monday, during an appearance on “Morning Joe,” President Biden used violent rhetoric about Donald Trump. “It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye,” Biden said. Earlier this evening, Trump was shot at during a rally in Pennsylvania. As my colleague, Rick Moran, wrote earlier today: For years, Republicans have been told their rhetoric leads to violence. Sarah Palin put a bullseye on the congressional district of Rep. Gabby Giffords. The "crosshairs" were not placed on Giffords. They were placed on her district on a map. After Giffords was shot by a mentally unstable person, Democrats blamed Palin for the attack. School shootings, mass casualty events, and almost any act of violence
