Four takeaways from the ‘Big Boy’ presser Biden used to try and save his candidacy

By Jack Birle | Washington Examiner President Joe Biden‘s press conference was intended to help end the growing list of doubts within the Democratic Party about his candidacy, but the event has not stopped the questions about whether he can continue as the nominee. Scheduled two weeks after his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump, Biden’s appearance at the NATO summit in Washington, D.C., offered mixed results as he was able to survive the rare solo news conference. Throughout his press conference, Biden was asked directly by journalists about mounting pressure for him to drop out of the presidential race — from those worried about his ability to win to those concerned about downballot effects. He defiantly proclaimed that he believes...

Harless: Democrats’ lies about Project 2025 is fearmongering campaign aimed at smearing Trump, helping Biden

By MONROE HARLESS | Commentary, The Federalist Democrat officials have launched a disinformation campaign about the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, misattributing policies nowhere to be found in the project and falsely linking them to former President Donald Trump. The project is a policy roadmap for a future Republican administration created by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, and outlined in a nearly 1,000-page document highlighting long-held conservative priorities. The left’s fearmongering campaign comes amidst panic in the Democratic Party, which has fractured over Biden’s cognitive decline and abysmal election polling. “[Project 2025] is a dangerous takeover by Trump and his allies to pass his extreme MAGA agenda,” Biden recently sa...

Jeffrey: Joe Biden Is The $7 Trillion Dollar Man

By TERENCE P. JEFFREY | Commentary, The Daily Caller Since President Joe Biden was inaugurated, the federal debt has increased by more than $7 trillion. On Jan. 20, 2021, the day of Biden’s inauguration, it was $27,751,896,236,414.77, according to data published by the U.S. Treasury Department. As of this Fourth of July, it was $34,847,568,990,054.13. That is an increase of $7,095,672,753,639.36 — in less than four years. No other president has increased the debt that much between his inauguration and the Fourth of July in his fourth year in office.

Harsanyi: If you were duped on Biden’s cognitive decline, you’re too dumb to be a journalist

By DAVID HARSANYI | Commentary, The Federalist By the time we saw Joe Biden’s debate debacle, the media had spent four years covering up his mental and physical decline to help Democrats. After Biden’s fragile mental state was exposed, the media instantaneously began pushing Biden out of the presidential race to help Democrats. The goal remains the same. The Wall Street Journal reports this week that Biden’s senior advisers “aggressively stage-managed” the president’s “schedule, movements and personal interactions, as they sought to minimize signs of how age has taken a toll on the oldest president in U.S. history.” Basically, everyone in the White House — as well as big-money donors — conspired to hide that the president of the United States was unable to perf...

Kirk: To secure the White House in 2024, we must win low-propensity voters

By CHARLIE KIRK | The Daily Caller As the media world and D.C. insiders become increasingly transfixed by the fallout from President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance, it becomes more important than ever that the conservative movement remains steadfastly focused on the most important things — namely, registering voters and chasing their ballots. This is the hard work that wins elections in our modern era and that has quite literally flipped conventional election logic on its head. To that end, there is a term you are going to hear more and more this summer and fall as the key factor in former President Donald Trump’s hopes of retaking the White House: “Low-propensity voter.” READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE DAILY CALLER Editor's note: Opinions expressed in co...

Biden to Hill Dems: ‘I am firmly committed to staying in this race,’ ignoring growing calls to end bid

By NICHOLAS WU and DANIELLA DIAZ | Politico President Joe Biden is attempting to head off more intraparty calls for him to drop out of the race, sending a letter to Hill Democrats Monday morning that emphatically stated he would continue on as the party’s planned nominee. “I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump,” he said in the letter to lawmakers. Not even 24 hours before, four senior Democrats said on a private call with House party leadership that Biden should step aside. With Congress returning from the July Fourth recess Monday, Biden and his campaign have scrambled to tamp down lawmakers’ concerns about his viability as a candidate after his widely-panned debate performance.

WURD-AM radio host leaves station after using questions provided by Biden campaign in interview

By Mallory Wilson  | The Washington Times A radio host from Philadelphia has parted ways with her station after she admitted to using prewritten questions from the Biden campaign in an interview with President Biden. Andrea Lawful-Sanders and WURD “mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately,” the company said in a statement Sunday. “The interview featured pre-determined questions provided by the White House, which violates our practice of remaining an independent media outlet accountable to our listeners,” Sara M. Lomax, president and CEO of WURD Radio, said in the statement. The statement said the interview Wednesday — the first interview with the president after his shaky debate performance on June 27— was “arranged and negotiated independent...

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...
