Tatem Carroll, an 18-year-old in Oregon’s Rogue Valley, just graduated high school. She used to think that once she got her diploma, she’d “get the hell out” of her parents’ house. Now, she says she’s “scared shitless” about the future. “I’m like, am I gonna live with my parents forever because our economy is trash?” wonders Carroll, who speaks to me over Zoom from her childhood bedroom. “It’s terrifying.” She tells me about her boyfriend, a Christian like herself. She says they’ve been dating for three years and that she can’t wait to marry him.

It was odd on that first night when Joe Biden announced the FBI would be investigating the assassination attempt of Donald Trump, only a few hours after the failed shooting. How did the people around Biden immediately know something went wrong?
Then things got even more sketchy when police reported the assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was spotted and photographed acting suspiciously 30 minutes before the attempted assassination. Unfortunately, they “lost track” of him.
To the commonsense observer, Crooks had to be wandering around the venue for quite a while. I mean, the scheduled start time for the speech was originally 5:00pm,
Donald Trump’s selection of Sen. JD Vance as his 2024 running mate is seen as a potential windfall for Silicon Valley — and major tech VCs are going public with their support.
While best known as author of the hit memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” which detailed the plights and concerns of Rust Belt voters, the Ohio Republican also has close ties to the tech industry.
Prior to entering politics, he worked as a venture capitalist alongside the likes of billionaire Peter Thiel, who co-founded PayPal, Palantir Technologies and Founders Fund.

Seeking to assuage concerns among Democrats that he’s mentally incapable of taking on Donald Trump this November, Joe Biden held a “big boy” press conference during Thursday’s NATO summit — and did it not disappoint.
Not content to just step on his own tongue more than once, the president spewed some of the most outrageous mistruths of his presidency (so far). From claiming Trump is his vice president to rewriting history on Afghanistan, the lies were almost nonstop.
1. Rising Prices
Biden claimed that “overall prices fell last month.”
That statement is false. According to PBS News,
A New York judge dismissed Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy case on Friday, clearing the way for two Georgia election workers to try to recover nearly $150m Giuliani was ordered to pay them for defaming them after the 2020 election.
“The court finds that cause exists to convert or dismiss the case. The record in this case reflects Mr Giuliani’s continued failure to meet his reporting obligations and provide the financial transparency required of a debtor in possession,” US bankruptcy judge Sean Lane wrote in his ruling. Lane also barred Giuliani from filing for bankruptcy again within one year.
The U.S. Department of State (DoS), the umbrella agency for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), outlines their policy toward the American public through CNN. This truthful perspective is why all foreign governments regard CNN and CNNi as “state run” media. In essence, everyone around the world -except the American public- know that CNN is the State Dept. From that perspective, the viewpoints of CNN then begin to take on an accurate context. Now, having said that, keep in mind CNN is not necessarily always in alignment with the executive branch, even though the DoS is a silo within the executive branch of government.
Our senescent president had an uncharacteristically busy—and rather Trumpian—start to the week yesterday. First, Joe Biden called into his favorite cable show, Morning Joe, to complain about his party’s “elites” who think “they know so much more.”
Then, he—or whichever anonymous adviser does this kind of thing on his behalf—sent Democrats in Congress a two-page letter underscoring his determination to stay in the race. In it, he reminded lawmakers that he won the Democratic primary.
The US neglect of vital security issues, from waning support for Ukraine and Israel, to its refusal to acknowledge the threat posed by Iran's nuclear programme, is inflicting serious damage to America's status as a global superpower.
America's alarming non-confrontational policy towards the mullahs -- even asking Europe not to censure Iran for its growing nuclear weapons program -- has been a mainstay of both the Biden and Obama administrations. Their encouragement of Iran to acquire nuclear bombs has led the mullahs and their proxies to expand their malign activities throughout the region.

The White House admitted Monday that a Parkinson’s expert who’s visited the executive mansion eight times in as many months has evaluated President Biden — but said the exams only took place during the president’s annual physicals.
The revelation was disclosed in a letter from Biden’s personal physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor hours after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to explain the flurry of recent visits from the Parkinson’s specialist, Dr. Kevin Cannard.
“Dr. Cannard was the neurological specialist that examined President Biden for each of his annual physicals,” O’Connor wrote in the letter.
Former President Donald Trump said he doesn’t expect President Biden to drop out of the 2024 contest due to his “ego” during a prime-time appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity” Monday night.
“I think he might very well stay in, and if he doesn’t – nobody wants to give up that way – he’s going to feel badly about himself for a long time,” Trump said.
“He’s got an ego and doesn’t want to quit. I think Jill would like to see him stay, she’s having a good time. I’m hearing Hunter is calling the shots,” he mused.
Joe Biden’s position among congressional Democrats eroded further on Monday when an influential House committee member lent his voice to calls for him to end his presidential campaign following last month’s spectacular debate failure.
Adam Smith, the ranking Democrat on the armed services committee in the House of Representatives, issued the plea just hours after the president emphatically rejected calls for him to step aside in a letter to the party’s congressional contingent.
Biden had also expressed determination to continue in an unscheduled phone interview with the MSNBC politics show Morning Jo
The Collapse of DEI

One deadly myth harmful to the conservative cause is that once the full weight of the establishment pushes a liberal initiative forward, it is futile to resist it.
Such fatalism is false. Plenty of well-advanced leftist initiatives have suffered crushing defeats. It is enough to recall the doomed Equal Rights Amendment, Roe v. Wade, or Common Core. All found their way to the liberal graveyard of lost causes awaiting reincarnation under other acronyms. The Fate of DEI
The latest program to suffer the indignity of premature death is DEI. Diversity,

President Biden tested positive for COVID-19 Wednesday and canceled a speech to a Latino advocacy group in Sin City.
UnidosUS president Janet Murguía announced the diagnosis on stage as attendees began to wonder why Biden, 81, was running 90 minutes late to speak.

Despite the graphic photographic evidence from different angles showing former President Trump was missing chunks of his right ear after being shot in the head during a failed assassination attempt over the weekend, MSNBC host Michael Steele wasted oxygen during the network’s coverage of Night Two of the Republican National Convention on Tuesday to spew debunked fringe conspiracy theories claiming Trump wasn’t actually hit by a bullet.
“Where I am at this point, it's been three days, going on four…and yet, we have not received a medical report from the hospital nor have we received a medical report from the campaign or from the Trump organization about
Members of the far-left joined with their entertainment elite compatriots on social media to mock former President Trump’s ear bandage just days after he survived an assassination attempt which also took the life of one man. Sneering far-left Star Wars actor Mark Hamill happily showed the way.
According to Ronny Jackson, the former White House doctor who became a Texas congressman, Trump lost “a little bit” of his ear when the bullet grazed him on Saturday. “I checked his ear out,” Jackson said. “I went up and dressed his ear this morning.”
He just can’t help himself.
After two disastrous speeches, Joe Biden made an unscheduled stop at Mario’s Westside Market in Las Vegas, Nevada Tuesday evening.“How you doin? Good to see you!” Biden said as he went in for a sniff.
“Thank you, Riley! How old are you? 5?” Biden asked the child after he took a picture with her.
Biden delivered remarks during the 115th NAACP National Convention and then participated in an economic summit with Rep. Steven Horsford earlier Tuesday.
81-year-old Biden walked into Mario’s Westside Market and immediately went in for a sniff. The child’s mother chimes in, “Say 3! I’m 3!”
In a leaked Zoom call with moderate House Democrats on Sunday, President Joesph Biden once again used his dead son, Beau Biden, this time, to insult and denigrate the military and combat service of Colorado Congressman Jason Crow (D). Biden was unhinged as he told Crow to "tell me who did something that you’ve never done with your Bronze Star like my son!" President Biden was attempting to convey the message that he was fit and able to continue on with his campaign and snapped at Crow when he politely expressed his concerns to the president.

Former RNC Chair Michael Steele floated a debunked conspiracy theory that a shard of glass injured former President Donald Trump’s ear during Saturday's assassination attempt rather than a bullet. Speaking on MSNBC, Steele said no medical reports have been released and questioned the extent the ear was injured. Despite left-leaning fact checkers such as Snopes giving a false rating to claims that glass from a teleprompter hit Trump’s ear, the commentator floated the theory anyway.
President Biden said in a new interview that he would consider dropping out if he was diagnosed with a “medical condition” by doctors — giving the clearest indication yet that he may be faltering in his vow to seek a second term. The 81-year-old president made the remark in a BET interview taped Tuesday when asked what it would take to prompt him to reconsider his candidacy.
“If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem,” Biden said in an excerpt released Wednesday.
The Department of Homeland Security inspector general opened an investigation on Wednesday into the Secret Service’s failure to prevent the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump at Saturday’s Pennsylvania rally.
The objective of the probe is to “Evaluate the United States Secret Service’s (Secret Service) process for securing former President Trump’s July 13, 2024 campaign event,” according to a short notice posted to the inspector general’s website. No specific date was given for when the investigation was launched.
The newly launched investigation comes after President Joe Biden had directed the Secret Service to conduct an independent review
California Governor Gavin Newsom has clapped back at Musk on X after the tech billionaire announced that he will move SpaceX and X headquarters to Texas over Newsom's new gender identity laws.
Newsom on Tuesday wrote on the social media platform: 'You bent the knee', along with a screenshot of a 2022 Tweet by Donald Trump criticizing Musk.
This was in response to 52-year-old Musk's decision to move the X and SpaceX headquarters to Texas after he said that Newsom's signing of a law that bans California school districts from notifying parents if their child is transgender was 'the final straw'.
A photo of an unmasked President Joe Biden in front of reporters after news broke of his COVID-19 diagnosis went viral on social media on Wednesday evening. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Wednesday evening that earlier today, Biden tested positive for COVID-19 after a campaign event in Las Vegas. Minutes after Jean-Pierre's statement was released, CNN White House and politics reporter DJ Judd shared a photo of Biden on X, formerly Twitter, and wrote: "An unmasked President Joe Biden flashes a thumbs up to reporters on the tarmac before boarding Air Force One moments after the
Representative Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) called on Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race on Wednesday, citing “serious concerns” about the president’s electoral viability.
Biden “has been one of the most consequential presidents in our nation’s history, and his lifetime of service as a Senator, a Vice President, and now as President has made our country better,” Schiff told the Los Angeles Times. “But our nation is at a crossroads. A second Trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy, and I have serious concerns about whether the President can defeat Donald Trump in November.”
Schiff joins a growing faction
President Joe Biden has been holding a series of calls with the various factions in the House Democratic Caucus, and they’ve not gone well. The call with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus devolved into total mayhem last week. On top of being late to the call, Rep. Mike Levin (D-CA) called on Biden to step aside directly, leading to the call's abruptly ending. No one could ask the president questions. It was very much the controlled, guard-railed, and staged antics that have marked this presidency. It’s all a show, with no real action or governing.
A call with the Congressional Progressive Caucus had this awkward moment.
