This brilliant prosecutor will make the case against convicted felon Donald Trump…...

President Biden's announcement that he was abandoning his reelection bid was just hours old, but Bill and Hillary Clinton wasted no time in giving their full support for Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement. Their lengthy post lauded Biden for his supposed achievements—even as his approval ratings are in the cellar, inflation is harming the average Americans, and untold numbers of illegal aliens are streaming across our border. They argue that America’s future depends on Kamala getting elected: “President Biden has capped his extraordinary career of service with a Presidency that has lifted America out of an unprecedented pandemic,...

Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced Sunday that they are endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination for president after President Biden said he would not seek re-election. In a statement, the Clintons said Biden "has capped his extraordinary career of service with a Presidency that has lifted America out of an unprecedented pandemic, created millions of new jobs, rebuilt a battered economy, strengthened our democracy, and restored our standing in the world. By any measure, he has advanced our founders’ charge to build a more perfect union and his own stated...

As flailing Democrats despair publicly and privately at the diminishing chances of President Joe Biden returning to the White House in 2024, some supporters think a ready made alternative is waiting in the wings to replace the octogenarian. Step forward two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. Pablo O’Hana said she is a “seasoned, savvy and adaptable candidate” in an opinion piece published by The Hill on Saturday. He argued the former Secretary of State also has youth on her side at 76 as well as experience, stating in the piece: Let’s get this out of the way first: Clinton...

The Democrat party is in disarray as they try to push Joe Biden out of the way. Obama and Pelosi are orchestrating damaging leaks to the media in an effort to drive Biden out of the 2024 race. Joe Biden is currently fuming at his Rehoboth Beach house as Democrats plan a coup against him with rumors of an open convention. Kamala Harris is jumping on donor calls and rallying supporters in North Carolina as Biden hides at his beach compound. The media is pushing Kamala Harris as the perfect alternative to Joe Biden. However, an author floated twice-failed presidential...

Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton are privately supporting Biden and have been encouraging donors to continue giving and stick with the president, two sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. One source described the Clintons’ support as "encouraging," "supportive" and "deferential" to Biden’s decision to stay in this race. Several members of Biden's senior staff including, deputy chief-of staff Annie Tomasini and Steve Richetti, the president's counselor, are in Rehoboth, Delaware where he is recovering from COVID-19. As they have been since the debate, Richetti and Biden’s senior staff continue to “listen” and...

“But who?” The strongest argument against replacing President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee is the notion that no suitable successor exists. But there is, and not just a good one but one of the most qualified people ever to run for the office: Hillary Rodham Clinton. For what feels like longer than two weeks, we have publicly and endlessly debated about Biden’s candidacy. Democrats have repeatedly called on him to make a decision. It is damaging, divisive and only serves to further improve Donald Trump’s chances. I have ferociously defended Biden in the past and demanded that Democrats...

President Biden's re-election campaign is all but over, CNN political commentator and former Bill Clinton strategist Paul Begala projected on Thursday. "I've been talking to a lot of people, a lot of members in the Senate and House, major donors, activists, party chairs and I got to tell you, I think I‘ve come across one who is still ridin’ for Biden," Begala said candidly on CNN. "So the walls are closing in." Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a longtime Biden ally, has made this argument in private calls to the president, according to CNN. Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer has...

Former President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton issued statements condemning violence in the aftermath of gunshots being heard at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign stretched federal financing rules, a Washington, D.C. appeals court ruled Tuesday. The campaign spent nearly $6 million to conduct polls, fact-check claims and set up media interviews with the “Correct the Record” political action committee (PAC), according to the court. Neither group reported the spending as campaign contributions due to a loophole in the Federal Election Campaign Act, the ruling determined. The law requires campaigns to disclose money they spent when promoting their candidates. Since blog or social media posts are sometimes published for small amounts, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) created an “internet exception”...

Mockingbird media outlet Politico seems to have a presidential preference for 2024. Hillary Clinton. Yes, the desperation among Democrats is so great with the rapid decline of Joe Biden that they are willing to dig up failed retreads from the past if they have the proper approval. And how do we know that Politico favors that particular failed retread? Because they are hyping a highly dubious poll by partisan hack Fernand Amandi as you can see in this Tuesday story, "Poll finds Biden damaged by debate; with Harris and Clinton best positioned to win."

Democratic strategist James Carville said former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama should direct discussions on who should replace President Biden on the ticket. “Mark my words: Joe Biden is going to be out of the 2024 presidential race. Whether he is ready to admit it or not. His pleas on Monday to congressional Democrats for support will not unite the party behind him,” Mr. Carville wrote in an op-ed in The New York Times Monday. He added that the party shouldn’t just shift gears to nominate Vice President Kamala Harris or another Democrat; the process should be “out in...

Scattershot anger and disgust at President Clinton, combined with pervasive anxiety about the potential use and misuse of constitutional impeachment powers, left many editorial pages groping to find analytic prescriptions to ease the dilemmas facing Congress and the President.

The Albuquerque Journal on Sunday called Clinton "morally unfit to continue in office," while...

CNN’s moderators for Thursday’s presidential debate have deep ties to former intelligence officials who signed the now-debunked letter claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” Real Clear Investigations (RCI) reported Wednesday. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper lied about leaking false information to one of CNN’s moderators, Jake Tapper, about the Trump campaign exchanging information with Russia throughout the election cycle, according to the RCI report. Tapper, failing to inform the public that the information came from a Clinton campaign-funded dossier, the now discredited Steele dossier, disseminated the information in a January...

Axios national political correspondent Alex Thompson joins Asking For A Trend to give insight into Biden's debate performance and Dr. Jill Biden's influence on the president. Thompson points to Jill Biden's active presence in the campaign: "I don't think it's a surprise that at the rally after the debate last night, Jill Biden went on stage and praised him and sort of did this... rally of Trump lies. And then she also introduced him in a North Carolina rally and was just a sort of rousing as him despite the fact that in her past ... she was uncomfortable being...

I don't see why there seems to be so much disruption and confusion over natural communication problems due to aging related cognitive decline. This is not an occasion for shock and dismay. Father time is doing his natural work. Bright smiles and positive loving messages for the family are in order. Our finest educators and scientists continued in their roles as anchors of their institutions and bright stars in in the faculty of premier universities for many years after their years of productivity. Give Joe Biden a party, a good-sounding title (One is mentioned in the title) and let's move...

Part of the deal to free Julain Assange included deleting the leaked DNC files!
