Visitor logs detail top Parkinson’s disease specialist visited White House 10 times since 2022

By Peter Cordi | Washington Examiner President Joe Biden’s physician met with a top Washington, D.C., neurologist who specializes in Parkinson’s disease earlier this year, according to White House visitor logs. The logs show that Parkinson’s disease expert Dr. Kevin Cannard of the Walter Reed Medical Center met with Biden’s physician Kevin O’Connor and two others at the White House residence clinic on Jan. 17. Cannard’s name shows up in the visitor logs 10 times since Nov. 15, 2022. “It’s highly likely they were talking about Biden,” Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) told the New York Post, who first reported on the Jan. meeting. “He should only be [regularly] treating the president and the first family.” Jackson served as physician to the presid...

Report: Taxpayers are funding services for illegals; Congress, including Republicans, approved it

By Bethany Blankley | The Center Square Taxpayers are not only funding the border crisis, but they are also paying for numerous free services illegal foreign nationals receive, according to a new report published by the House Judiciary Committee and its Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement.  The committee blames the Biden administration in its new report, "Chauffeur at the Border, Concierge in the Interior: How the Biden Administration Rewards Illegal Aliens on the Taxpayers' Dime" for costs to U.S. taxpayers.   It also notes that Congress, including Republicans, voted to fund the programs it identified as wasting taxpayer money and facilitating the border crisis when Congress passed an omnibus appropriations bill in M...

Biden was asked questions in radio ‘interview’ his own campaign provided

By Alex Miller | The Washington Times President Biden’s campaign came up with questions for a Philadelphia-based radio host who interviewed him this week. Andrea Lawful-Sanders, host of “The Source,” said she was sent the questions from Mr. Biden’s campaign ahead of her Q&A that was recorded Wednesday and aired Thursday. “I got several questions, eight of them, and the four that were chosen were the ones that I approved,” Ms. Lawful-Sanders told CNN’s Victor Blackwell on Saturday.  Mr. Blackwell noted that Ms. Lawful-Sanders and his other guest, Earl Ingram, a Milwaukee-based radio host who also interviewed Mr. Biden this week, asked basically the same questions.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON TIMES

McKenna: Reflecting on America and Independence Day

By Stephen McKenna | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice On July 4, 1776, Thomas Jefferson presented perhaps the most consequential document written since the Bible to the Second Continental Congress. On Aug. 2, the 56 delegates to that Congress, representing the 13 colonies, signed the Declaration of Independence. In doing so, these patriots also signed their own death warrants, should the British empire rebuff their effort to create a country ensuring every individual’s right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”  From Patrick Henry’s closing line to the Second Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775, "Give me liberty or give me death!” to former schoolteacher and Continental Army officer Nathan Hale’s, “I only regret that I have but one life to give to my count...

Sources: Biden tells Dem governors he’s fine, ‘It’s just my brain’

By REAGAN REESE | The Daily Caller President Joe Biden told more than 20 Democratic governors that he is in good health with the exception of his brain function while discussing the fate of his presidential campaign on Wednesday, sources told the New York Times. Biden assured the governors that despite the growing calls for him to drop out of the presidential race, he would be staying in, two people who participated in the meeting and several others briefed on his comments told the NYT. In response to a question about his health from Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, the 81-year-old said that all was fine with him except for his “brain.” “It’s just my brain,” Biden told Green, which at least one governor took as a serious comment that left them confused, the NYT reported. At least three oth...

Documents: CDC knew within 6 months of outbreak Covid-19 source was Wuhan, China

By Colin Aamot  | The Daily Signal Newly released documents from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveal early evidence and analysis four years ago in which U.S. government officials indicated that COVID-19 originated in Wuhan, China. These findings in the CDC documents obtained by The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, dating from about six months after the disease’s initial outbreak, are coming to light only now because of the government’s repeated delays in releasing relevant documents through the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. In addition, federal employees’ use of encrypted private messaging applications such as Signal or WhatsApp to evade records-retention requirements under the Federal Records Act has become commonpl...

White House touts $3.49 gas, a 1-cent savings from last July 4th

By JAMIE JOSEPH | Fox Business The White House boasted a one-cent decrease in the nation's year-over-year gas prices on Thursday, the "lowest holiday price" since the previous Fourth of July.  "'July 4th gas prices expected to hit lowest level in 3 years,'" White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a post on X.  The projection comes from a GasBuddy estimate this week which claimed the $3.49 average cost for gas this Independence Day represents over a $1.30 decline compared to 2022.  "For those hitting the road to celebrate Independence Day, gas prices have seen modest recent fluctuations, but most states are seeing prices near or even well below where they were a year ago," Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a news release. "While the firs...

Study: ‘Vast DEI bureaucracy’ negatively impacting U.S. armed forces

By Cameron Arcand | The Daily Signal Diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the U.S. military are ineffective, a new Arizona State University study suggests. The study done by the university’s Center for American Institutions argued that there is an emphasis on training new soldiers about social issues like “unconscious bias” and “intersectionality” in a way the center says runs contrary to typical American ideals. The study examined DEI plans in different sectors of the military, including DEI office staffing and education at academies like West Point. “The massive DEI bureaucracy, its training and its pseudo-scientific assessments are at best distractions that absorb valuable time and resources,” the executive summary states. “At worst they communic...
