Former President Joe Biden has reportedly sold his presidential memoirs. According to the Wall Street Journal, Biden sold the book to Hachette Book Group, with Little, Brown and Company set to publish it. Biden is reportedly getting $10 million for the book. While a $10 million advance might sound impressive at first glance, it’s actually a paltry payday compared to what other presidents have commanded for their memoirs. In 2017, Penguin Random House shelled out a jaw-dropping $60 million for the combined book rights of Barack and Michelle Obama. Bill Clinton landed $15 million for his 2004 memoir “My Life,”

Biden will never write a memoir. Other people may write one for him, but it will sell about 500 copies. It’s possible that by the time it goes intp publication, he will have assumed room temperature.

An Arizona woman is headed to prison for nearly a decade after perpetuating a fraudulent foreign worker scam that benefited the North Korean government. Christina Marie Chapman, 50, was sentenced to 102 months in a federal lockup for an elaborate scheme that involved helping North Korean residents pose as US citizens and helping them get remote IT jobs at 309 American companies, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). The identities of 68 Americans were stolen in the process. Chapman’s scam generated more than $17 million for herself and the government of North Korea and was perpetuated from 2020 to 2023.

The Trump administration has located and rescued more than 13,000 migrant children who crossed the border without parents — after more than 320,000 kids were lost under the Biden administration, The Post has learned. The tough-on-immigration admin has also collared hundreds of migrant sponsors who are accused of committing disturbing crimes or abusing the children in their care. In one frightening case, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Newark arrested a sponsor who was found to be a Guatemalan fugitive wanted for two counts of attempted aggravated homicide in his home country. Adelso Garcia Martinez, 29, was busted on May 13.

West Virginians mined the coal that forged the steel that built New York City. The Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, even the subway — none of these iconic landmarks would exist without the blood and sweat of West Virginia coal miners. West Virginia still powers the nation, supplementing its coal production with oil and natural gas. But New York elites want to punish West Virginians for doing the very jobs that provide them so much comfort in their ivory towers.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is once again under attack as a renewed effort to force the Pentagon chief out is underway, with the media doing its part to revive the Signalgate scandal that was initially deployed earlier this year but failed to catch fire. On Wednesday, the Washington Post reported that the information that Hegseth sent in a March group conversation on the Signal encrypted messaging platform, in which plans to bomb terrorist Houthis in Yemen were discussed, came from an email labeled as “SECRET/NOFORN,” according to the Pentagon’s inspector general.

Twenty-two GOP-led states have filed an amicus brief in support of a New Jersey father who sued his daughter’s school for “transitioning” her without telling him. The father, Christian Heaps, sued Delaware Valley Regional High School last year after his daughter told her school counselor that she preferred to be referred to by a male name and with male pronouns. The counselor, identified as Ashley Miranda, “immediately affirmed” his daughter’s new identity “and began to facilitate [her] social transition,” according to the lawsuit. Furthermore, Miranda allegedly schemed to hide his daughter’s new identity from him by only referring to her by her new pronouns and name only when he wasn’t around.

A Chuck E. Cheese mascot in Florida was featured in a perp walk this week, after being handcuffed while still in costume. Jermell Jones, the man in the mouse suit, was arrested by the Tallahassee Police Department on three felony charges related to stolen credit cards. Police spokesperson Alicia Hill told the Tallahassee Democrat that police were called on July 3rd after a Chuck E. Cheese customer reported a stolen credit card. The victim told officers she noticed around $100 in fraudulent charges after a pizza party in June, and she was able to trace the activity to an employee at the restaurant. “Man, Chuck’s finally hit rock bottom, it seems,”

The owners and operators of Foley, Alabama’s Colt Grill BBQ & Spirits have been hit with charges of systematically hiring illegal migrants as workers. Federal officials raided the chain’s Foley location on July 15 as part of a larger sweep across six counties in the Yellowhammer State, the Press-Register reported at AL.com. Headquartered in Arizona, Colt Grill’s other four locations in Arizona — Sedona, Prescott, Prescott Valley, and Cottonwood — were also raided at the same time. The owners, Brenda and Robert Clouston, were charged with five immigration and employment offenses and prosecutors said they had a pattern of knowingly hiring undocumented workers for their restaurants.

Shoplifting might be one thing, but it leads to more and more crime, and we just can’t do that.”

Five Planned Parenthood facilities are being forced to close in Northern California as a result of President Donald Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” which prevents state Medicaid programs from funding groups that also provide abortion services. The San Francisco Chronicle reported Thursday: President Donald Trump’s budget cuts to Medicaid have forced Planned Parenthood Mar Monte to shutter five clinics across Northern California and the Central Coast, including one in South San Francisco, the group said Thursday. The GOP-led federal spending bill that Trump signed into law earlier this month eliminated federal Medicaid funding for any type of medical care to organizations that perform abortions.

Democrats in California, New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania also have introduced similar bills as part of an attempt by those lawmakers to “increase transparency and limit the agency’s expanded powers” under President Donald Trump, Newsweek reported this week. As Breitbart News has reported, federal authorities say ICE officers have been wearing plain clothes and using masks during raids to hinder their identification they or their families won’t be targeted off the job by open boarder advocates.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) drew widespread mockery Thursday over a since-deleted social media post that showed how the cost of groceries skyrocketed under former President Joe Biden. The X post included a graph of soaring cheese, alcohol, dairy, grocery, produce and meat prices dating back to October 2019, with the major inflection point being near the start of the Biden administration in 2021. “Trump’s America,” read the tweet shared by @TheDemocrats. “Prices are higher today than they were on July 2024 all in major categories listed below,” read the caption on the graphic, which did not note the source of the data.

Six months into Donald Trump’s second presidency, the political tea leaves are muddled. Voters disapprove of the job he is doing, dislike his new budget law, and doubt his dealings with Iran are making the U.S. safer. At the same time, ratings of the economy show signs of improvement, feelings on the direction of the country are inching upward, and the president’s job approval ratings are holding steady, according to a new Fox News national survey. Thirty-two percent of voters rate economic conditions positively. That’s the highest number, by one percentage point, in about a year.

It's striking how similar NPR's situation is to that of Planned Parenthood. Both organizations have an affiliate model and both just had a lot of federal money cut from their budgets. That means both are now hoping to find new sources of funding to keep the doors open. The NY Times reports there has been an increase in donations to PBS and NPR but so far the amount isn't nearly enough to offset the cuts. Over the last three months, as the prospect of the cuts intensified, roughly 120,000 new donors have contributed an estimated $20 million in annual value,

Colbert and his allies in the Pravda Media/entertainment complex--along with Democrats--are insisting that the former funnyman was fired at the behest of President Trump. The accusation is absurd. You can't lose tens of millions of dollars a year and expect to keep your $15 million a year job. The math doesn't work. But, as we know, propaganda works with people who want to believe it. All you need is an authoritative voice to say the most absurd things, and people inclined to believe it, will. Even many who do not start out believing it come to do so, based on the "when there is smoke, there's fire principle.

Founder of the World Economic Forum Klaus Schwab reportedly exhibited a pattern of misconduct during his tenure as the multinational organisation's most senior executive, according to preliminary findings of an internal investigation.  The probe was launched by the WEF board in April in response to whistleblower complaints over alleged unauthorised spending, bullying and inappropriate treatment of female staffers by 87-year-old Schwab. It came just two days after the German economist - who denies the claims - stepped down from his role as the Forum's top executive with immediate effect after 55 years over Easter weekend.  Preliminary findings from the probe are said to have found evidence
