Democratic strategist James Carville slammed President Joe Biden‘s decision not to sit down for an interview prior to the Super Bowl, saying it shows a lack of confidence to perform well. Carville noted the massive television audience of the Super Bowl, which has regularly exceeded 100 million viewers several times in recent years, and questioned why the White House turned down the opportunity, while speaking on CNN on Saturday. “It’s the biggest television audience — not even close — and you get a chance to do a 20, 25-minute interview on that day,” Carville said. “And you don’t do it?

Panicked Democrats are wringing their hands in the wake of the damning special counsel’s report that accused President Biden of being too senile to be blamed for mishandling classified documents — with insiders even pushing for better makeup to hide the commander-in-chief’s advanced age as his re-election campaign grinds on despite his cognitive decline. “The cake is already baked,” a despondent former Biden White House aide told The Post. “Most Democrats feel that way about the president already. They think he’s effective and a good person, but nobody really wants him to run. ..and Democrats don’t have the guts to

UCHealth needs more money and support to keep responding to the surge in migrants arriving in metro Denver, the health system’s leaders are warning after University of Colorado Hospital provided $10 million in uncompensated care in just three months. Health care workers want to help, but hospitals can’t keep providing this level of uncompensated care, let alone meet migrant patients’ full needs, said Dr. Richard Zane, an emergency medicine physician and UCHealth’s chief innovation officer. UCHealth needs to receive reimbursement and to have somewhere to refer patients for housing and other supports, he said. “It is not sustainable,” Zane said.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson emerged as an unlikely ally of former President Trump on Thursday when the Supreme Court heard arguments over an effort to block Trump from Colorado’s Republican primary ballot via the 14th Amendment’s Insurrection Clause.
Jackson, a liberal justice and the most junior on the high court’s bench, seemed sympathetic to one of the offramps that would keep the former president on the ballot, as proposed by some of Trump’s backers and hinted at by Trump’s own lawyer. The Civil War-era provision was originally designed to prevent ex-Confederates from returning to power, and Jackson, the first Black

BOSTON — Gov. Maura Healey on Wednesday nominated an appeals court judge and former romantic partner with whom she shared a home for several years to an open seat on the state’s highest court. Massachusetts Appeals Court Associate Justice Gabrielle R. Wolohojian would serve as an associate justice of the Supreme Judicial Court if her nomination is approved. Wolohojian is the second nomination to the state’s highest court by Healey, the first woman and first open member of the LGBTQ community to be elected governor of Massachusetts. “There is no one more qualified or more well prepared to join the

Chalk this up as another story that dumbfounds me, with Joe Biden once again fibbing to a grieving military family about how his son, Beau Biden, died. As RedState reported, three U.S. Army soldiers were killed in Jordan in late January after an Iranian-backed group attacked it with drones. The deceased have been identified as Sergeant William Rivers, Specialist Breona Moffett, and Specialist Kennedy Sanders. Good Morning America broadcast the call Biden made to the family of Specialist Sanders in which he proceeded to mislead them about his son's death, something he's done in numerous calls to Gold Star families.

Over the past seven years, many Democratic politicians have been elevated as liberal heroes of “the Resistance.” Perhaps none may have been more overrated by a loving liberal media than Stacey Abrams. Abrams rose to stardom during the 2018 election cycle, hailed as the Democrat who could flip Georgia blue while running for governor. She ended up losing in a Democratic-wave year and claiming that the election was stolen from her. She refused to concede, and yet she was not given the election-denier treatment as Republicans were after 2020. Instead, she was humored all the way to her 2022 campaign

AI-generated photos showing President Biden decked out in military gear in the Situation Room went viral Tuesday — amid Middle East tensions in the wake of the deadly drone attack on US soldiers. The troubling deepfakes posted to X show Biden in a camouflage uniform sitting at a desk with advisors in an apparent attempt to show the US was on a war footing. The images — on the heels of the Taylor Swift deepfakes scandal — were viewed thousands of times after first being posted on Elon Musk social media platform on Monday. As of Tuesday evening, they remained on the site.

It is the end of an era for Big Oil in California, as the most populous U.S. state divorces itself from fossil fuels in its fight against climate change. California's oil output a century ago amounted to it being the fourth-largest crude producer in the U.S., and spawned hundreds of oil drillers, including some of the largest still in existence. Oil led to its car culture of iconic highways, drive-in theaters, banks and restaurants that endures today. On Friday, however, the marriage will officially end. The two largest U.S. oil producers, Exxon Mobil (XOM.N), opens new tab and Chevron (CVX.N)
