Barack Obama recently had an off-the-books White House lunch with President Joe Biden to share his concerns and advice about his former running mate's campaign, according to a new report.

The lunch meeting reportedly occurred in recent months, but has not been previously reported, and Obama does not appear in the White House visitor logs,

Cable news pundit Joy Reid claimed Donald Trump won the Iowa caucus because 'white Christians' believe he will 'return' the US to them.
Reid called the Midwest state 'hyper evangelical' and therefore full of voters who support the former president in his campaign to regain the White House.
Trump handily won the Iowa caucus on Tuesday night with 51 per cent of the vote in frigid conditions to kick off the primary season. Reid discussed how overrepresented white Christians were in Iowa compared to the rest of the country on MSNBC coverage of the caucus.
Former President Donald Trump's legal team looks set to claim US intelligence agencies were out to get him, according to a new legal filing ahead of his classified documents case.
Trump has been charged by Special Counsel Jack Smith on crimes related to his attempt to overturn the 2020 election and for hoarding classified documents he moved from the White House to Mar-a-Lago.
Lawyers for Trump said in a motion filed Tuesday that they will dispute prosecutors' allegations that the estate where the records were stored was not secure, in a case Trump has demanded be pushed to after the election.
Just when you thought the Biden administration couldn't get any more ridiculous, now the Department of Health and Human Services, part of the executive branch and therefore under administration control, has announced they will spend $700,000 reminding 14-year-old girls who "identify as boys" that they are still, well, girls.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is awarding nearly $700,000 taxpayer dollars to back pregnancy prevention programs for young girls who identify as boys, warning that “heteronormative” sexual education is inadequate.
The $698,736 grant, which began in September 2023 and will continue until June 2027,

Neighborhood Due to Theft, Locals Outraged (Video) 27 replies
Walgreens is closing a store in a lower income neighborhood of Boston due to rampant theft and the people who live there are outraged. They’re actually protesting the store over news of the closure.
This is a familiar chain of events in liberal cities. The Democrats who run the city allow theft and don’t punish criminals. Then the store decides to close and suddenly everyone is angry at the store instead of the people who actually caused the problem.
This is going to happen in more and more cities until Democrats decide they want to punish crime.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre delivered an unusually dense slew of lies on Tuesday during an audio-only press briefing, lying about everything from the U.S. (Texas) border to the number of police officers killed on January 6, 2021 (zero).
Jean-Pierre claimed, falsely, that the Texas Military Department interfered with U.S. Border Patrol agents as they attempted to rescue a migrant family from drowning. The story had already been disavowed by the U.S. Department of Justice and the governor of Texas. (X) Jean-Pierre also claimed, falsely, that police officers died as a result of injuries sustained during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.
The Colt Cobra revolver gun Hunter Biden allegedly bought illegally for $900 in cash while addicted to drugs has been pictured for the first time in a scathing court filing from prosecutors.
Chemists also found cocaine on the brown leather pouch where the president's son stored his gun, Special Counsel David Weiss's office claimed in the damning document.
Federal prosecutors made the new revelations as Weiss hit back at the president's son trying to have three felony gun charges carrying up to 25 years in prison dropped.
Things keep looking worse for poor, embattled Hunter Biden.
We already knew that Hunter’s art customers were basically Biden donors, but according to new reports, Hunter’s art dealer called Joe Biden and even met with him at the White House.
The Biden White House claimed that there were all sorts of ethics measures in place to avoid the appearance of any corruption but it now looks like that was a total lie. Surprise!
Just the News reports: Art dealer told Congress that Joe Biden called and met him while he sold Hunter Biden’s paintings
Entrepreneur and former 2024 Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy declared former President Donald Trump would “shut down the deep state” if elected back into the White House while speaking at a Trump campaign event in New Hampshire.
Ramaswamy’s appearance at the Atkinson, New Hampshire, event Tuesday evening comes the day after he dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Trump following the 45th president’s record-breaking victory in the Iowa Caucuses Monday. In a video streamed to Rumble by Rightside Broadcasting, the 38-year-old Ramaswamy said, in his impassioned populist pitch on behalf of Trump, that the nation is in “a war” that is “between the permanent state and

The former president, 77, was in a Manhattan courtroom on Tuesday just hours after his landslide victory in the Iowa Republican caucus.
Carroll's lawyers want Trump to pay $10million in damages for calling her a liar after she claimed he raped her in a dressing room in a luxury department store in 1996.A previous civil jury has already found him liable for sexually abusing her at Bergdorf's, a luxury department store in Manhattan, in 1996
Republican Texas Rep. Wesley Hunt fired back at a heckler Monday who called him “racist” for supporting former President Donald Trump.
Hunt spoke during the Iowa Caucus Monday night where Trump secured an historic victory with 51% of the vote. He praised Trump as the only one in the race who can save the country from the “brink of disaster.”
“How can a black man stand here and talk to us about racists?” a man in the audience shouted. “How can a black man talk to us about racists? I don’t care about a black man talk to us about racists. How can a black man do this

Dean, who was a presidential hopeful in 2004, had a disappointing showing during the Democratic Iowa caucuses that year.

"Biden is the president and he's acting like a president," Dean added about not campaigning in Iowa.

On the eve of the Iowa Republican caucus, the New York Times editorial board begged Republicans to abandon 2024 frontrunner former President Donald Trump in a piece Monday morning.
In the piece titled “The Responsibility of Republican Voters,” the left-wing newspaper tried to guilt Republicans into supporting someone else.
The board said:
Iowa Republicans who will gather on Monday to cast the first votes of the 2024 presidential campaign season, and voters in New Hampshire and the states that will follow, have one essential responsibility: to nominate a candidate who is fit to serve as president, one who will ‘preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.’
Hollywood filmmaker-actor Rob Reiner is taking aim at Christians who support former President Donald Trump, saying he doesn’t understand how anyone who believes in the teachings of Jesus Christ could vote for Trump. [Snip] “Jesus told us to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. How in God’s name can anyone who believes in the teachings of Jesus support Donald Trump?” he wrote. [Snip] As Breitbart News reported, Rob Reiner is producing a new documentary God and Country, which seeks to keep the left’s favorite new boogeyman “Christian nationalism” in the cultural conversation heading into the November elections.
Nikki Haley bowed out of the two upcoming Republican presidential primary debates in New Hampshire the morning after she landed third place in the Iowa caucuses.
The former South Carolina governor announced the news on social media, saying the next time she debates she will be on stage beside Joe Biden or Donald Trump, who has skipped all five Republican primary debates.
“We’ve had five great debates in this campaign. Unfortunately, Donald Trump has ducked all of them. He has nowhere left to hide,” she said on Tuesday. “The next debate I do will either be with Donald Trump or with Joe Biden. I look forward to it.”
Pope Francis said this week he believes in hell but likes to think of it as “empty” because of God’s great mercy.
“What I will say is not a dogma of faith but something personal,” the pontiff said Sunday evening on the Italian television program Che Tempo Che Fa.
“I like to think of hell as empty; I hope it is,” he told the show’s host, Fabio Fazio.

In March 2018, for instance, the Italian daily La Repubblica reported that the pope had told his longtime friend, Eugenio Scalfari, founder of the newspaper, that he does not believe hell exists.
Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson on Tuesday suspended his Republican presidential campaign, a day after finishing a distant sixth place in the GOP's Iowa caucuses.
Hutchinson's departure narrows the Republican primary field to just former President Donald Trump, who won Iowa in a landslide; Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis; and Nikki Haley, the former United Nations ambassador and ex-South Carolina governor. "I congratulate Donald J. Trump for his win last night in Iowa and to the other candidates who competed and garnered delegate support," Hutchinson said in a statement.
"Today, I am suspending my campaign for President and driving back to Arkansas."
Hutchinson defended his campaign message of being a principled Republican with

Kamala Harris laughed at Nikki Haley's frequent criticism of her, telling ABC News: 'Let's see what Iowa says to her!'
The vice president sat down with the news network on the same day Iowa voters were going to their caucus sites. Haley ended up placing third behind winner Donald Trump and second place finisher Ron DeSantis.
Trump leads the polls for the Republican nomination and President Joe Biden has made him a frequent target on the campaign trail. Harris expressed confidence that their ticket could beat the former president the same as they did in the 2020 election.
Electric vehicle owners in the Chicago area have not been able to charge their overpriced method of transportation in the bitter cold this week, leaving scenes of dead electric cars littered across public charging stations.
It turns out buying a worthless car to virtue-signal for the environment has unintended consequences.
Fox Chicago reported Monday the charging stations have turned into electric car graveyards over the past two days as temperatures in the Windy City and its suburbs have dipped to the negative double digits.

After visiting all 99 counties in Iowa and failing to win a single one, specifically because he visited all 99 counties in Iowa, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared the dark, unknown and mysterious forces of universe tried to stop him, “threw everything at him,” yet he alone stands victorious.
Yeah, he actually said that.
The DeSantis campaign put most of their resources into Iowa and gained a total of 23,000 votes (roughly 21%), quickly declaring victory in a tenuous 2nd place finish and proclaiming their victory ticket has been punched. The cognitive disconnect is exceptionally strong; but hey, everyone has a role to play – right? WATCH:
