Klain: Biden Wasn't 'Politically Viable'
In Final Year

Should we be surprised that alleged Joe Biden Regency 'politburo' member Ron Klain decided to cooperate with the House Oversight Committee? Fellow senior advisers such as Annie Tomasini and Anthony Bernal took the Fifth when asked to testify about Biden's cognitive incapacity while President and who really ran the White House. Even Biden's doctor, Kevin O'Connor, took Five rather than rely on HIPAA. Biden's former chief of staff, however, decided to cooperate, getting praise for his willingness to testify from committee members of both parties. And while Klain doesn't flat-out declare Biden incompetent during his tenure as president, Klain told the committee that his decline

EVERYTHING is framed in terms of politics with liberals. Biden could not WIN was the issue. The fact that he was brain dead and could not FUNCTION was a non-issue. Liberals make me want to puke.

Politically viable would seem a much lower bar than presidentially viable.

The condition of Biden's brain almost seems irrelevant. The craziness began as soon as he "took" office and the country suffered progressively worse damage for the next four years (pun intended).

President Donald Trump has truly flipped the script on the Democrat/media narrative that tariffs were going to hike inflation and kill the economy Instead, inflation is under control and running lower than expectations, the stock market has hit record highs, and we have a surplus from the money coming in from tariffs. We went from the economic mess that Joe Biden was to economic competence. Listen as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent explains what they have been able to achieve in just a short six months. He said so far they've taken in nearly $100 billion, and he thinks they may take in $300 billion by the end of the year.

On Wednesday, during his appearance at the “Winning the AI Race” summit in Washington, D.C., Donald Trump launched the White House’s AI Action Plan. Per the executive orders that were signed during the event, the president’s project contains three major planks. First, it establishes a set of procurement rules that prohibit the federal government from purchasing any AI product that, in Trump’s words, “has been infused with partisan bias or ideological agendas.” Second, it seeks to “expedite

You can almost hear the death rattle emanating from Media Matters for America (MMFA), the unofficial (wink-wink) media arm of the Democrat Party, which unironically calls itself the "progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media." From the New York Times: The organization, which is funded by some of the Democratic Party’s biggest donors, has racked up about $15 million in legal fees over the past 20 months to defend itself against lawsuits by Elon Musk, in addition to investigations by Mr. Trump’s Federal Trade Commission and Republican state attorneys general.

A bipartisan poll shows a dramatic shift in public opinion on the state of the U.S. economy, with a net 23-point swing toward optimism since April, an uptick that parallels renewed economic momentum under President Donald Trump’s policies, according to officials and market data. The Wall Street Journal survey, conducted by Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio and Democrat partner firm Impact Research, found that 47 percent of Americans now rate the economy as “excellent” or “good,” up from just 36 percent in April. Meanwhile, those saying the economy is “not so good” or “poor” dropped from 63 percent to 51 percent. The swing in public opinion

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,

I suspected that this was the case, and even said so in a recent radio interview. But I have been very reluctant to write about it because I am not a lawyer, so I can only use my common sense and layman's understanding of the law in what must be a very, very complex question. But Trump, who certainly has access to excellent legal advice, has just said that Obama has immunity from prosecution for any crimes he may have committed in conspiring to use falsified intelligence to undermine Trump's presidency, set up a phony impeachment, and perhaps put Trump in jail.

I wrote earlier about how Democrats tripped all over themselves with a marvelous mistake that is a perfect example of how they don't understand the economy. They posted a graph about a rise in prices, captioning it "Trump's America." The problem? The graph showed that the rise in prices came under Joe Biden, and that it had previously been flat during President Donald Trump's first term (and has flattened again in his second). What a self-own that was. If they can't even read a graph intelligently, how can they deal with the economy? Of course, that's just one problem with the Democrats, and it's one of those bread-and-butter issues

The walls may finally be closing in on Joe Biden’s inner circle. This week, former Chief of Staff Ron Klain, who effectively ran the White House during Biden’s first two critical years, showed up for a closed-door interview with staff from the House Oversight Committee. Did the ultimate Biden insider finally confirm what millions of Americans have suspected for years: that Biden’s mental decline was no secret inside the West Wing? The House Oversight Committee, under the leadership of Chairman James Comer, is investigating whether Biden’s inner circle deliberately hid signs of his decline, whether his top aides shielded him from public scrutiny, propped him up behind the scenes, o

Philip Bump wasn't the worst columnist at the Washington Post. That title will probably remain in the hands of former columnist Taylor Lorenz who wound up being ushered out after repeatedly lying to her own editors. And we can't forget the insufferable Jennifer Rubin who left the paper in January. But even in a crowded field of partisans, Bump was certainly one of my least favorites at the Post. Over the years I've written a few takedowns of his columns.

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. On a personal level, 44% rate their financial situation positively, up from

Wealthy nations that fail to limit their fossil fuel use and reduce pollution could be held financially liable by countries most affected by climate change, says the United Nations' top court in a new opinion issued Wednesday. The 15-judge International Court of Justice (ICJ), based in The Hague, Netherlands, concluded that international treaties require developed countries to curb global warming and oversee the climate impact of companies operating under their jurisdiction.[snip] The court’s finding extends legal responsibility beyond governments to include private corporations operating within national borders.

What's the only gear a French car has? Reverse. That's an old joke that I remember an uncle telling many years ago, and it's evergreen. Amid the rise of Islamist influence across the world, specifically in Western countries, France has decided to do what it does best: Preemptively surrender. French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Thursday that he and his nation will formally recognize a "Palestinian State," rewarding the murderous terrorists who still control Gaza and the West Bank. That will officially take place at the UN General Assembly, set to happen in September. Hamas was quick to take advantage, thanking Macron

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.

There aren't many things out there that will make a grown man tear up. Watching 32,000-pound fighter jets fly by in full afterburner with "God Bless the U.S.A." playing in the background is one of them. The Navy's Blue Angels have been a staple of Americana for decades, thrilling audiences and bestowing a sense of national pride like few others can.

The altercation left two people dead and one seriously injured. At around 2:50 p.m., Lakylia Taylor (19) and her brother Dejuan Taylor (21) arrived at the Foot Locker parking lot with some friends. After exiting the vehicle they began walking toward the store when they came across a Jeep Compass parked nearby. This vehicle contained another group of young men.

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.

U.S. District Court Judge Lindsey Jenkins’ decision to grant Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s request to dismiss the lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice without holding a full trial is a major win for officials seeking to prevent federal officials from slashing billions of dollars in federal aid to Chicago and Illinois.

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.
