Biden dons ‘Trump 2024’ hat during 9/11 Pennsylvania visit

By Emily Hallas | Washington Examiner Some Pennsylvania firefighters’ days took an unexpected turn as they watched President Joe Biden don a ‘Trump 2024″ hat. After laying a wreath at the 9/11 Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville on Wednesday, Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris visited the local fire department. As first responders looked on, Biden grabbed a Trump 2024 hat as he grinned widely.  A White House spokesman explained the president’s surprising act as a “bipartisan” gesture meant to show the country’s “unity” after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City 23 years ago.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Biden-Harris Admin ignored repeated military warnings ahead of disastrous Afghan withdrawal

By James Lynch | National Review President Biden’s insistence on withdrawing entirely from Afghanistan no matter the cost — despite repeated warnings from the military and NATO allies — exposed American personnel to security threats and allowed the Taliban to quickly remake the country into a terrorist safe-haven, according to a new congressional report. Taking their cue from Biden himself, senior State Department officials were hellbent on getting every last U.S. troop out of Afghanistan by September 11, 2021, regardless of the security situation on the ground or the Taliban’s compliance with the previously negotiated Doha Agreement, according to a 354 page report compiled by the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s Republican majority.

‘You got our kids murdered’: Gold Star families lambast Harris for politicizing Trump’s appearance at Arlington Ceremony

By Jordan Boyd | The Federalist Vice President Kamala Harris tried to use the plight of the 13 Gold Star families who lost their loved ones during the Biden administration’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal to score political points in her 2024 campaign against former President Donald Trump. Her plot backfired tremendously, however, when several of the family members mourning those murdered during the terrorist attack at Abbey Gate issued statements condemning Harris for politicizing the remnants of a disaster she created. Trump, at the request of the Gold Star families, attended a service at Arlington National Cemetery last week honoring the fallen on the third anniversary of their deaths. According to the families who organized the event, Trump and his team were “respectful” and “lis...

Biden claims Netanyahu is not doing enough to secure a deal with terrorists

By Danielle Wallace  | Fox News President Biden claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not doing enough to secure a hostage deal with Hamas terrorists.

Jonathan Dekel-Chen, the father of an Israeli-American hostage still being held by Hamas, pleaded earlier Monday for the U.S. and Israel to broker a deal "with Satan." READ MORE AT FOX NEWS

Family eulogizes murdered hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin as thousands mourn in Jerusalem

By Olivia Land | New York Post The heartbroken family of slain Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin paid tribute to their bright, “beautiful” son and brother at his packed funeral service in Jerusalem. “Hersh, we all failed you. You would not have failed you. You would have pushed harder to justice,” Jon Polin addressed the late 23-year-old during his address at the Givat Shaul cemetery. Polin evoked his son’s spirit with a Torah verse that called on one to find a close teacher and counselor, and to give all people the benefit of the doubt. READ MORE AT THE NEW YORK POST

Biden resumes immigration program that was suspended over fraud concerns

By Matthew Impelli | Newsweek President Joe Biden's administration is set to resume an immigration program that was previously suspended due to fraud concerns. On Thursday, the Biden administration announced that it was resuming an immigration program that permits migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the United States.

"Together with our existing rigorous vetting of potential beneficiaries seeking to travel to the United States, these new procedures for supporters have strengthened the integrity of these processes and will help protect against exploitation of beneficiaries,...

Who is running the country? Biden spotted lounging on the beach for a second straight week

The president has held a low-key presidential schedule since he tested positive for COVID-19 in July, following his announcement of withdrawing from the 2024 presidential election and endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris as front-runner for the Democratic Party ticket.

Workers on Labor Day say inflation ‘erasing’ American dream, snuffing out hard work

By Paul Bedard | Washington Examiner People are depressed about the economy going into Labor Day and the final election push, believing that inflation under the Biden-Harris administration has erased their dreams. In a couple of new surveys, respondents said that the dream of buying a house has been snuffed out by rising prices and that most of their daily hard work has been eaten away by inflation. A WalletHub survey provided to Secrets on Wednesday said, “74% of people think inflation is erasing their hard work.” While most believe that they are doing better than Labor Day 2023, they apparently also feel that they are moving backward and working harder.

Biden-Harris Administration uses little-known hiring mechanism to staff key DOJ divisions

By Robert Schmad | Daily Caller The Biden-Harris administration has deployed a little-known hiring mechanism to staff key divisions of the Department of Justice (DOJ) ahead of the 2024 election, according to documents provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation by Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT). Hundreds of people, primarily lawyers and judges, have been appointed to the Environmental and Natural Resources (ENRD) and Antitrust and Immigration Review divisions of the DOJ using its “Schedule A” hiring authority since President Joe Biden took office, documents shared with the DCNF by PPT show. Schedule A hiring does not require appointments to be made on the basis of merit and appointments do not expire at the end of the current president’s term, meaning these bureaucrats will stick ...
