President Joe Biden recently appeared on CBS for an interview, seemingly admitting that high-ranking members of his own party had essentially forced him out of the 2024 presidential race. Biden stated that his struggling campaign had Democrats in downstream races concerned that it would hurt them if he remained in the race. After the late-June presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Joe Biden, Democrats evidently lost faith in the president as their candidate as his declining mental acuity became indefensible. Subsequently, there were incessant calls for Biden to step down, which he eventually did last month, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. Biden said in the interview, “The polls we had showed that it was the neck-and-neck race would have been down on the wire. But what happened was a number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races, and I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic you’d be interviewing about why did Nancy Pelosi say? Why did so and so…and I thought it’d be a real distraction.” Notably, Nancy Pelosi has been the subject of intense criticism following Biden’s… CONTINUE READING…

Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, former President Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate, outfoxed CNN anchor Dana Bash when he appeared on her “State of the Union” show on Sunday, August 11. He did so to attack Minnesota Gov. Walz for what Vance and many others argue were Walz’s lies about his military service. As background, Walz, who formerly served as a sergeant major in the Army National Guard, retired and dropped out despite having two years left on his contract when the unit was to be deployed to Iraq, with many saying that he left his men in the lurch by doing so. He has also lied about his military service, saying he carried weapons “in war” when he never served in combat or during a war. Many argue that those exaggerations of his service and his leaving service when it would have meant war show that he has engaged in “stolen valor.” His spat with Bash began when she tried to trick him into either denigrating Walz’s service or go back on his attacks. Doing so, Dana Bash said, “Governor Walz served 24 years, he even stayed after he could have retired because of 9/11, more than the country asked… CONTINUE READING…

Fox News’ “The Five” found itself with entertainment gold as the host got into another one of the show’s iconic heated arguments on air. Liberal host Jessica Tarlov was seen on the set having a heated debate with her co-hosts as she tried to defend the millions of dollars that Hunter Biden has allegedly made by using his father’s name and influence. “The Five” was discussing the recent testimony from Devon Archer, a Hunter Biden business associate, when all hell broke loose. “So the testimony, and he wasn’t under oath, but he still wasn’t allowed to lie to them, was terrible for the Republicans,” Tarlov said. “He was asked if someone concluded from the 1023 form, that you all think is so important, that Joe Biden was bribed. ‘Would you disagree with that? Yeah, I would.’ Devin Archer said that.” The lengths to which Tarlov was willing to reach to defend the Biden family were truly amazing. For fans viewing, she offered a stark reminder of the attenuated that millions of Americans still hold to politics, treating it like a spectator sport where her side could never be in the wrong and should not be held accountable for their actions.

A picturesque body of water framed by snowcapped mountains, Lake Resia might strike the casual viewer as a beautiful scene typical to northern Italy. But one structure belies the lake’s strange history: a 14th-century bell tower that bizarrely juts out of the water’s blue-green depths. The steeple hints at what lies beneath the surface: namely, Curon, an Italian village that was flooded by the government in 1950 to create an artificial lake. Last week, reports BBC News, remnants of the submerged town were once again exposed to the elements after construction crews temporarily drained part of the 72-foot-deep lake, marking the first time the lost village has reemerged in some seven decades. The bizarre sunken village sits in South Tyrol, a mountainous Alpine province nestled at the intersection of Italy, Austria and Switzerland. According to a separate report by BBC News’ Bethany Bell, Italy annexed South Tyrol from the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1919, at the end of World War I. Most people in the region are native German speakers. After the annexation, Benito Mussolini’s Italian government forged ahead with a plan to flood the area between two neighboring basins and create Lake Resia, writes Philip Willan for the London Times. Although work was delayed… CONTINUE READING…

The far-left “Squad” in Congress has recently taken a hit as two of its members, Reps. Cori Bush (D-MO) and Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), lost their respective reelection bids. According to recent reports, another member of the progressive group of legislators could be on the way out, as Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) faces intense competition. The upcoming primary on Tuesday will decide if Omar goes on to represent the Democratic party in Minnesota, where she faces three challengers.  Given the state’s voting laws allowing citizens to participate in their primary of choice, Republican voters have been urged to vote for one of Omar’s Democratic opponents since Republican candidate Dalia Al-Aqidi is running unopposed. The last-minute effort to oust Omar comes amid an apparent decline in the “Squad’s” popularity among their constituents, demonstrated by the monumental defeats. Reports indicate that the far-left legislators’ fervent anti-Israel rhetoric has turned off many voters. Subsequently, organizations centered around anti-semitism have launched social media campaigns to dissuade voters from “Squad” members. StopAntisemitism shared a photo to X, which had Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush’s faces crossed out, and now focuses on Ilhan Omar.  The caption read, “Yes, the removal of Ilhan Omar from Congress IS possible. The August 13th… CONTINUE READING…
