Former first lady Rosalynn Carter has been diagnosed with dementia, the Carter Center announced on Tuesday.

The family announced in February that Jimmy Carter would spend "his remaining time" in hospice care. Jimmy Carter and Rosalynn Carter have been married for more than 75 years, making them the longest-married presidential couple in American history. Rosalynn Carter turned 95 years old in August,

Getting old is a witch. Just wondering though how Jimmah is doing. Normally, one doesn't spend this long in a hospice. I believe he was moved to a hospice in February.

As much as I loathed the Carter presidency, I don't wish this disease on anyone. I am very sorry to hear this news, but it shows that this insidious disease is no respecter of anyone, famous or no.

Rosalynn Carter was always a decent, kind and gracious woman. So I won't hold her taste in men against her. My mother has dementia. Dementia as a disease is a thief. Its frustrating, infuriating and sad. Watching a person go from vibrant to having the intellectual capacity of a child. Its not curable and just gets worse over time.

#2, you can still be at home and receive care from a hospice, so perhaps that’s what Mr. Carter is doing. Politically, I’m not at all fond of either Carter, but having lost a mother and two grandmothers to different forms of dementia, I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. It’s crueler than cancer (and yes, I’ve lost family members to that one as well).

The New York Times faces criticism after publishing an article attempting to paint President Joe Biden as a young, vibrant man who never embarrasses himself or the country. Titled "Inside the Complicated Reality of Being America's Oldest President," reporters Peter Baker, Michael Shear, Katie Rogers, and Zolan Kanno-Youngs fawned over Biden's achievements, describing him as a "fit, sharp" 80-year-old who has "striking stamina."

A small plane that flew over a restricted area of Washington DC likely prompted the Pentagon to scramble an interceptor fighter jet Sunday afternoon. The private Cessna jet from Elizabethton, Tennessee appeared unresponsive as it came close to both the US Capitol building and the White House at around 3.30pm, Federal Aviation Administration officials say. The aircraft was on its way to Long Island, New York, but once it reached its destination, it turned around and headed back to Washington DC, flight paths show. A source familiar with the situation told Reuters it appeared to be on autopilot at the time.

Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that he was “not ruling anything in, not ruling anything out” when questioned about whether he would consider a third-party presidential run. Anchor Shannon Bream said, “You have not ruled it out and taken off the table, is a third-party run in the realm of possibilities?” Manchin said, “You better have Plan B because if Plan A shows that we’re going to the far reaches of both sides, the far left and the far right, and that people don’t want to go to the far left and the far right, they want to be governed from the middle.

When did morality become relative? When did good and evil stop being black and white — and become shades of gray? When did thieves and murderers stop being predators and become the oppressed victims of a corrupt system? Those are the fruits of moral relativism. It holds that there is no absolute right or wrong — what one culture considers "wrong," another will consider "right." It is the philosophy that good and evil are constructs of human beings — not laws of God. There are two social frameworks for occupants of our world — "might makes right" and divine law.

An informant alleging a $5 million bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden is reportedly a “highly credible” FBI source with a history dating back to the Obama administration era. The FBI possesses a document from an interview the FBI conducted with the informant, which allegedly details an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions between now-President Joe Biden and a foreign national. After weeks of stonewalling a congressional subpoena, FBI Director Christopher Wray finally agreed to allow members of Congress to view the unclassified document next Monday. A House Oversight Committee spokesperson told CNN the committee still plans to move forward with holding the FBI in contempt of Congress.

Dozens of transgender people who live in Florida have turned to crowdfunding appeals in an effort to move out of the state, ABC News reported Friday. Reportedly, the transgender people who are trying to leave the state of Florida are doing so because of a slew of “anti-LGBTQ+” laws that have been passed in recent years. Sage Chelf, a 30-year-old “trans woman,” told the outlet that the clinic that prescribed “her” hormone therapy was ending all treatments for patients who identify as transgender. “I don’t want to go back to the person that I was forced to be at the time,” Chelf told the outlet.

California appears to be presenting the green movement with yet another reality check. Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom has set forth arguably the country's most ambitious state-level plan to transition from fossil fuel to renewable energy. However, when California's almost inevitable heat waves come in the summer and residents crank up their home air conditioners, officials turn on massive diesel-powered generators to make up for the state’s energy shortfall and to avoid rolling blackouts.
