ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos reportedly said his post-debate interview with former President Joe Biden was "heartbreaking up close." Chris Whipple's new book, titled "Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History," which was released on Tuesday, recounted behind-the-scenes conflicts between members of the Democratic Party and the Biden administration over whether Biden needed to step out of the race after his disastrous debate with then-candidate Donald Trump on June 27. To "staunch the bleeding" of Democrats beginning to publicly call for replacing Biden on the ticket, Whipple wrote about how the White House accepted an interview

If Biden’s presence was heartbreaking after the debate his condition didn’t happen overnight. Washington denizen and political animal Stephanopoulos knew this perfectly well before that night. He probably knew it for years because the rest of us did. This strategy of Biden’s enablers arguing that they were unaware of his decrepitude and very saddened to learn of it is nonsense. Stephanopoulos is a has-been as a political strategist and an insult to the intelligence as an independent anchor of non-partisan TV shows.

They all knew. Millions watched Biden on TV over the years, and they knew too, even though they didn't get to talk to him personally like the cretins in the media. George is - and always has been - a bootlicking lackey to the Dems. I haven't watched him in many years.

I remember how anyone who dared to even hint that Biden had dementia was denounced by the very people who are now coming out and admitting that they knew about his deteriorated mental condition all along. These people aren't journalists, they're fronts for the DNC and no one should listen to them ever again.

Isn't Stephanopoulos one of the useful media idiots who was providing cover for Biden's senility. Now he's pushing a different story, what a lying hypocrite.

Not heartbreaking at all. FJB was cheated in to office, was obviously demented in 2019 ("Cornpop," "hairy legs"), and did not belong in that office. He couldn't do the work; his mind, never sharp, had departed. If Stuffinenvelopes failed to see that Brandon was not all there early in his term, I'm not really interested in what he thinks now. He knew. So he's a liar, a paid professional 'Rat shill, doing the 'Rats' business. I'd be surprised if he had a heart to break.

Trump encapsulated all this type of baloney as "Fake News" and that is a perfect descriptor of what Stephanopoulos and his ilk are. They have been nonstop liars since Trump declared for 2016 and less blatantly for decades before that. One of the greatest services that Trump has performed has been the destruction of the propaganda media and he didn't take any action against them except to accurately label them and call them out. It drove them crazy. They did their worst and it destroyed their credibility. Now they are collapsing in ratings and earnings. Now Trump is toying with them, like a cat with a mouse, by taking away their seating privileges and questioning priority. It's hilarious.

Stephanopoulos was Slick Willie's main liar when he worked for Slick. He continued doing the same thing after he went through the 'Rat-to-Lamestream revolving door to work for the All Barack Channel. If his mug shows up on a TV screen in my house, the channel is IMMEDIATELY changed to.... something else.

The trove of files about the 1968 assassination, published at President Trump’s directive, were previously sitting in storage at The National Archives, according to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

New York— An emotional former opinion page editor for The New York Times delivered a tearful apology Thursday to Sarah Palin as he testified about a 2017 editorial that she says damaged her reputation. James Bennet testified that he “blew it” when he erroneously wrote that the former Alaska governor’s political action committee had contributed to an atmosphere of violence before a member of Congress was severely wounded in a 2011 mass shooting in Arizona. The Times has acknowledged the editorial was inaccurate but said it quickly corrected the “honest mistake.” Bennet got choked up and teary as he apologized to the onetime Republican vice presidential candidate,

Anything you see broken with gun laws in our country?” Trump did not waver on his staunch support of Second Amendment rights in America.

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has agreed to hear oral arguments in May on a case that centers on President Donald Trump’s historic executive order to end birthright citizenship for the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens. On Thursday, the court issued a notice that oral arguments on the executive order will be heard on May 15. Immediately after Trump signed the executive order in January, the pro-mass migration groups CASA Inc. and Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project sued to block the order. The order seeks to eliminate the nation’s so-called anchor baby policy where about 250,000 “anchor babies” are born in the U.S. annually to illegal alien parents.

The Democrat senator who traveled to El Salvador to meet with a deported illegal migrant and alleged MS-13 member was seen drinking what appeared to be margaritas, infuriating many online. Chris Van Hollen, the junior senator from Maryland, met Thursday in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man who was sent there by the Trump administration in March despite an immigration court order preventing his deportation. But it was his decision to sip margaritas with Abrego Garcia, as El Salvador´s President Nayib Bukele put it, that caused a wave of outrage.

After being told bluntly by the Central American nation's vice president that the senator wasn't going to be able to get in to see Garcia at CECOT, it looks like Van Hollen decided to go there anyway to try to get in. It didn't go well. He says he was stopped by soldiers.

It’s not just Biden family artwork that’s struggling to sell these days. Former President Joe Biden’s attempt to bill $300,000 per speaking appearance is finding few takers, The Post has learned — as some of his own former aides say it’s time for the 82-year-old to leave the spotlight for good after reminiscing about “colored kids” Tuesday in his first public address since leaving office. A source familiar with Biden’s faltering speaking career said that the 46th president’s standard pitch is $300,000 — 25% below Barack Obama’s $400,000 asking price upon leaving office in 2017. It’s unclear how negotiable Biden’s rate is.

In May 2021, Abrego Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, was granted a temporary protective order against him after she alleged he was subjecting her to domestic violence — including beating, scratching, and punching her.

A pair of earthshattering, history-altering, Chris Christie-sized stories broke this week, but they’ve (mostly) skated beneath the political periphery.

New York Attorney General Letitia James’s mortgage fraud problems just got even bigger, and may now include the possible breaking of campaign disclosure laws. Questions are now being raised about a foreclosure sale in December 2008 that involved James as a purchaser. Documents show her name appearing on the “Final Foreclosure Accounting” for the purchase of a single-family home at 21 Peters Street in Martinsville, Virginia. Two other names appear on the same document as additional purchasers, Johnsie Finney and Philip Finney. Interestingly, James’s first named is misspelled as “Letitua.” One has to wonder whether this misspelling was intended to make the transaction harder to track.
