HONOLULU— David Letterman will headline a fundraiser with President Joe Biden in 10 days with Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, a sign that his campaign is forging ahead despite continued calls for the president to bow out of the 2024 race. The fundraiser on July 29 will be at the home of a family friend on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, Green told The Associated Press Friday. It will feature the longtime late-night host, plus Biden and first lady Jill Biden. The campaign has at least 10 other fundraising events over the last 10 days of July. Letterman helmed CBS’ “Late Show” for 22 seasons.

Lettermen was funny but through the years his humor came at the expense of either people in either ridcule or contempt. He got more mean and his disdain for anything he didn't agree with or like was not funny and I stopped watching him. But good for him I hope he keep pooppy-pants in the money and on the ticket!!!

I agree with poster #9. When Letterman became the late night host decades ago, he was charming and humble, and had that Midwest modesty. His humor was understated and interesting. Then he turned into a monster.

Letterman never was funny. He was one of those people like Pauly Shore or Jack Black or Chevy Chase who seemed to come out of nowhere and, although not talented, cultivated a following of people who laughed uproariously on cue to vaguely humorous material.

I remember watching Letterman, once, many years ago. The show was so stupid, I could feel my brain cells dying as I was exposed to his brand of 'entertainment'. I quickly changed the channel just to prevent further cerebral destruction, and I was careful to avoid that channel and time slot thereafter. Somehow, the Biden people dragging Letterman out of his dusty crypt for a 'fundraiser' with Joe, the shuffling cadaver, just seems like a natural fit. I wonder what will be written on Joe's Teleprompter for the event.

Mega migrant caravan from dozens of countries

A major migrant caravan is making its way towards the United States, hoping to reach the southern border before the November election out of fear that if former President Donald Trump wins, he may close the border. 'We are running the risk that permits [to cross the border] might be blocked,' said Miguel Salazar, a migrant from El Salvador. He said he worried that a new Trump administration might stop granting appointments to migrants through CBP One, the app migrants use to enter the US legally — by getting appointments at U.S. border posts, where they make their cases to officials.

When President Biden leaves the White House in January, it will mark the spectacular end of a career in politics that spanned five decades. Biden, 81, ended his 2024 re-election effort Sunday in the wake of his disastrous June 27 debate performance against former President Donald Trump, which precipitated calls from the Democratic establishment for the octogenarian career politician to drop out of the race. Here’s a look back at the president’s more than 50 years in public office: It all started in Delaware (Photo) Biden got his first taste of politics in 1970, after winning a seat on the New Castle County Council

What a disgraceful end to a disgraceful presidency. Rather than exit this presidential race with dignity, rather than show long-suffering Americans the respect we deserve, President Joe Biden hastily declared he's out — on social media. Joe Biden's ghosted us! LBJ in 1968 this is not. In fact, this withdrawal — in tone, tenor, shame, and bitterness — calls to mind none other than Richard Nixon's resignation. Biden has humiliated himself, the nation, the Democratic elites, megadonors and liberal-media enablers who spent years covering for him. And he didn't even initially endorse his Vice President!

President Biden made the historically rare decision Sunday to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, less than four months after being declared the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee and days after a dismal debate showing. The 81-year-old president’s exit from the race – months before Election Day – comes after a debate performance against former President Donald Trump in which the incumbent appeared infirm and was at times incoherent – alarming Democratic donors and strategists. Biden’s withdrawal is expected to set off a free-for-all for the Democratic nomination for president.

However, a surprising number of people believe that, considering how consequential Biden’s statement is, a tweeted-out letter suggests a coup rather than a voluntary resignation. More than anything, this reveals how the Biden administration has destroyed all trust in the government. To catch you up on things, Biden put out two separate tweets. The first, at 1:46 p.m. Eastern Time, announced his resignation:
