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

Trump throws down challenge for ‘no holds barred’ debate with Biden

By Elaine Mallon | Washington Examiner On Independence Day, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to challenge President Joe Biden to a second presidential debate.  Biden’s performance in the Atlanta debate has called into question the president’s cognitive ability, with one reporter asking White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre if he suffered from Alzheimer’s.  Biden and his campaign team have acknowledged that he had a rough showing in the debate.

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...

‘A bad night’: Biden concedes he ‘screwed up’ in debate with Donald Trump

By ISABELLA RAMÍREZ | Politico President Joe Biden admitted he “screwed up” and “made a mistake” at last week’s presidential debate, conceding that his performance was rocky in some of his first interviews since the meltdown. “I had a bad night,” Biden told Earl Ingram on WAUK, a radio station based in Waukesha, Wisconsin. “I didn’t have a good debate. That’s 90 minutes on stage. Look at what I’ve done in 3.5 years.” The president sat down for pre-recorded interviews with two radio stations — WAUK and WURD, the only African-American owned and operated talk radio station in Pennsylvania — as he attempts to calm the nerves of Democrats frantic about his ability to serve. Over the past few days, he has made last-minute plans to convene more than 20 Democratic governors, call senio...

Callahan: Bad Doctor Jill Biden doesn’t give a damn about America – or her husband

By MAUREEN CALLAHAN | Daily Mail This is presidential power on life support – and Jill Biden is refusing to pull the plug. For someone who ridiculously insists on being called 'Dr.' — Jill is not a medical doctor, or even a PhD, just America's most famous community college teacher — well, Jill seems quite the opposite. What she is doing to her husband is arguably elder abuse, and what she's doing to the nation is unforgivable. It's not enough that The New York Times, the day after last Thursday's calamitous debate, called on President Biden to step down. READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE DAILYMAIL

York: Biden’s big Dirty Harry ‘make my day’ bluff was called by Trump

By Byron York | Washington Examiner BIDEN’S BIG BLUFF. Until a week ago, President Joe Biden seemingly had the age issue under control. Yes, he had senior moments, some of which were quite severe, such as the episode at the White House Juneteenth concert in which he weirdly froze for two minutes, silent, eyes fixed straight ahead, body absolutely motionless. But commentary on such moments was mostly confined to a few news outlets. Much of the White House press corps seemed to accept the Biden press handlers’ explanation that the stories were “cheap fakes” created by Republicans to hurt the president politically. It’s hard to understand why any observant reporter would accept such an explanation, but some did. Everyone knew that polls showed large majorities of vot...

Yoffe: Something is wrong with Joe Biden. It’s time for him to be assessed by doctors who will tell the truth.

By Emily Yoffe | The Free Press It is time for Joe Biden, the president of the United States, to submit to a medical assessment performed by a group of independent doctors, doctors who are given carte blanche to release their findings. After Biden’s alarming performance at last week’s presidential debate, his stumbling over words, his inability to form a coherent argument, his slack jaw and blank stare, it became undeniable that something drastic had happened to the 81-year-old leader of the free world. It is time for the public to know what is wrong—and what isn’t wrong—with him. Instead of taking medically necessary action, Biden’s White House and campaign staff are floating their own diagnoses. The president suffered from a new malady now known as One Bad Night synd...

White House photographer claims aides knew for months Biden was not fit for office

By The Washington Times After President Joe Biden’s recent dismal debate performance, concerns have emerged from both current and former aides about his health and leadership capabilities. The White House attributed Mr. Biden’s low and sometimes difficult-to-understand speaking voice to a cold. However, some insiders suggest this reflects the president’s day-to-day condition. Former White House deputy director of photography, Chandler West, shared on Instagram, “It’s time for Joe to go.” “I know many of these people and how the White House operates,” Mr. West said. “They will say he has a ’cold’ or just experienced a ’bad night,’ but for weeks and months, in private, they have all said what we saw last night — Joe is not as strong as he was just a couple of ...

Who could replace Biden? Possibilities range from governors to Oprah and ‘The Rock’

By CALDER MCHUGH | POLITICO OUT OF THE WOODWORK — After a debate performance that had prominent Democrats calling him “toast” and advocating for an open convention, President Joe Biden showed no signs of wavering at a North Carolina rally today. “I don’t debate as well as I used to,” he admitted to a crowd of cheering supporters. “[But] I know like millions of Americans know, when you get knocked down you get back up.” Any discussion of replacing Biden with another Democrat begins and ends with the president’s own inclinations — the only plausible way to remove him from the ticket is if he steps aside and releases the delegates pledged to him at August’s Democratic National Convention (or has a health issue that leaves him physically unable to continu...
