Posted By: NorthernDog, 9/6/2023 8:47:03 AM
Vice President Kamala Harris said during an interview Wednesday that she was ready to fulfill her constitutional duty to assume the presidency should President Biden be unable to govern as questions swirl around his health and age. Biden, who is 80 and is turning 81 in November, continues to be the oldest serving president in U.S. history. Should Democrats win again in 2024, he will be 82 before he is sworn into a potential second term and would be 86 at the end of it. Harris described the idea of possibly stepping into the role of president as "hypothetical" but

Oil prices are surging again, but the Biden administration's biggest weapon for bringing them down has much less ammunition.
Last year, the federal government drained 180 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as oil prices soared in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the turmoil in energy markets that followed. Flooding the market with all that supply helped bring oil prices down — and helped cool inflation, which had shot up as well. Earlier this year, the administration took some steps to start refilling the SPR. But while it has ticked up slightly, the level remains near
Democrats are fretting about President Biden’s low approval ratings, exacerbated by widespread concerns about his age. Those factors seem to be getting worse rather than better. A CNN/SSRS poll released this week showed just 39 percent of adults approving of Biden’s job performance, his lowest number in more than a year. Almost three-quarters of the population, according to the poll, believes Biden lacks the stamina and sharpness to serve effectively as president. (Snip) Even so, plenty of Democrats are at least daydreaming of alternatives, just in case Biden would decide to step aside or circumstances would change unexpectedly. Here are

A four-day workweek at full-time pay, a 46% wage increase and a share of company profits are among the demands of the union representing approximately 150,000 workers at the Big 3 U.S. automakers -- General Motors, Ford and Stellantis. The United Auto Workers, or UAW, has vowed to launch a strike on Sept. 14 if the union and the automakers fail to reach an agreement by then.
Even UAW President Shawn Fain last month described the workers' set of demands as "audacious." He has defended the ambitious agenda in a series of public statements, citing billions in profits enjoyed by the
A supermarket chain has decided to remove popular household brands from a store in Washington, D.C., citing rising crime rates. The Ward 8 location of the grocery retailer Giant Food will no longer be carrying brands such as Tide detergent, Colgate toothpaste or even Advil ibuprofen, over a continued rise in theft and crime rates, the Washington Post reported. The company has previously weighed shutting down operations after it lost 20% of its revenue. “We want to continue to be able to serve the community, but we can’t do so at the level of significant loss or risk to our

Legendary singer and songwriter Jimmy Buffett died on Friday at the age of 76 after struggling with an undisclosed health issue since 2022. The "Margaritaville" icon died peacefully Friday surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs, according to a statement posted to his website and social media accounts. "He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many," the statement read. Buffett's cause and place of death were not provided. Buffett leaves behind his wife Jane Slagsvol and his three children: Savannah, Sarah and Cameron. The musician began
Social media critics tore into President Joe Biden on Wednesday after the president compared a small fire in his home to the destruction wrought by the natural disaster in Hawaii and Hurricane Idalia going on in Florida. Users slammed the president for seemingly making the tragedy about himself and embellishing how destructive the actual fire was to his house. Several users fact-checked Biden’s claims, pointing out that the fire first respondents put out at his residence didn’t extend out of the kitchen, a far cry from the damage many people in Hawaii have suffered due to historic wildfires that have

soldiers push to recapture northeast Kharkiv territory 6 replies
Ukrainian authorities ordered a mandatory evacuation of several villages and three dozen other populated areas as Russian troops advanced on the Kharkiv province. The evacuation directive applies to 37 settlements that Russian forces captured early in the 18-month-old war but were liberated by a Ukrainian counteroffensive in September. Citing a Russian attempt to push back into the area, the military administration in the Kupiansk district told roughly 12,000 residents to seek safety elsewhere.
The order was initially issued on Aug. 10 but residents have been reluctant to relocate despite Russia's renewed push to retake the region. The resurgence comes as

BARCELONA, Spain — Climate activists have spraypainted a superyacht, blocked private jets from taking off and plugged holes in golf courses this summer as part of an intensifying campaign against the emissions-spewing lifestyles of the ultrawealthy. Climate activism has intensified in the past few years as the planet warms to dangerous levels, igniting more extreme heat, floods, storms and wildfires around the world. Tactics have been getting more radical, with some protesters gluing themselves to roads, disrupting high-profile sporting events like golf and tennis and even splashing famous pieces of artwork with paint or soup. They’re now turning their attention
Joe Wurzelbacher, otherwise known as ‘Joe The Plumber’ passed away at the age of 49 from pancreatic cancer, a source confirmed to the Daily Caller. Wurzelbacher, who became well known during the 2008 presidential campaign after confronting former President Barack Obama about whether or not his tax plan would end up costing him more, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in early 2023. Conservative radio host Derek Hunter shared the news of Wurzelbacher’s passing in a post on Twitter on Sunday afternoon. “Horrible news. My good friend Joe Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, passed away this morning at the age of
Some of the more than 100 demonstrators screamed and threw punches at each other at the Upper East Side rally as most bashed City Hall’s handling of the crisis while others shouting them down. “No migrants on Long Island!” a Trump supporter shouted outside the Manhattan home of Mayor Eric Adams. “We pay a lot of property taxes!” (Snip) Nearly two dozen counter-protesters returned the verbal volley, yelling out, “F–k white supremacist NYPD!” as about 50 cops looked on. The tense stand-off came as about 100,000 migrants from the US southern border have flooded the five boroughs, forcing Adams to
A preseason game between the Dolphins and Jaguars in Jacksonville was called off Saturday evening after rookie Miami wide receiver Daewood Davis was injured and carted off the field. With 8:35 to play, Dolphins quarterback James Blackman attempted to find Davis over the middle but missed. Jacksonville linebacker Dequan Jackson leveled the 24-year-old rookie, drawing a flag for unnecessary roughness as Davis lied motionless on the turf. As both teams gathered around him, Davis was eventually removed from the field and the game canceled. In a tweet, Miami announced that Davis "suffered an injury in tonight’s game and has been

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham declared a public health emergency over "gun violence" on Thursday following the death of an 11-year-old boy. On Friday, she took the unprecedented step of "suspending" gun rights in Albuquerque, the state's largest city, with the possibility of other cities following suit.
Gov. Lujan Grisham declared gun violence a public health emergency Thursday, following the murder of an 11-year-old boy on his way home from an Isotopes game Wednesday night. That case, combined with several other violent cases involving children, sparked the decision.

The Ladies of the View suggested on Friday that migrants should be 'resettled elsewhere' because America is a 'massive country' while discussing their disappointment with Mayor Eric Adams's handling of the crisis faced by New York City.
NYC Mayor Eric Adams warned earlier this week that the 10,000 illegal asylum seekers arriving every month will 'destroy' the city.
It is a stark shift for the mayor, who promised while campaigning that NYC would remain a sanctuary city under an Adams administration, saying in 2021, 'We should protect our immigrants. Period.'
It wasn’t back-to-school as normal this week in the Big Apple. Schools in the city were pushed beyond capacity due to more than 21,000 newly enrolled illegal immigrants entering the education system. On Thursday, the line to get inside Newcomers High School in Long Island City wrapped around the block and forced some students to a facility across the street because the building’s max capacity had been reached.
“They should have worked this out two days ago!” a frustrated teacher told the New York Post.
One student, 14-year-old George Kara Lekas, talked to the Post about the chaotic scene as he and his classmates had to wait
Megyn Kelly described Karine Jean-Pierre as the 'worst White House press secretary ever', ridiculing her 'banal answers' and mocking a fawning profile of Jean-Pierre in Vogue.
Jean-Pierre, 49, is the first black person to serve as White House press secretary, and also the first openly gay.
Jill Biden praised her to Vogue as 'a pioneering White House press secretary', adding that she 'brings grace, integrity, and insight to the podium', and calling her 'calm, quiet confidence' inspiring.
An outraged parent and gun rights groups are speaking out against an Alabama elementary school that suspended a first-grader, reportedly for making a finger gun.
Jerrod Belcher, whose six-year-old son J.B. attends Bagley Elementary School in Jefferson County, Alabama, says the school over-reacted to a game of "cops and robbers." (snip) According to the attorney and school staff, on September 1, J.B. and another student were playing "cops and robbers" during recess. During the game, the children made pretend guns with their fingers and said "Bang, bang" at each other.

'needed to be able to still raise significant money' 24 replies
Rep. Nancy Pelosi told a reporter Friday that she's mainly running for office to raise money for herself and other Democrats. Speaking with outlet Politico, the 83-year-old representative from California said her veteran status in Congress is a major asset for raising funds.
"My focus is the House and presidency; you’re in a stronger position as a candidate," Pelosi told Politico in the interview. "You may not know this, but if you’re not a candidate, you really can’t raise money for yourself. And raising money for myself enables me to spend that on other people."
Special counsel Jack Smith is widening his witch hunt against former President Trump and evidently, he’s prepping to indict Trump yet again… this time on his fundraising efforts. (Video) A new report from CNN alludes to Smith expanding his efforts to indict Trump over raising millions of dollars following the 2020 election to investigate rampant voter fraud. He is demanding to know how the money was used to inspect voting machines.

Former Vice President Mike Pence is becoming more unpopular among Republican voters as former President Donald Trump remains the most favorable candidate in the GOP field, this week’s Morning Consult survey found.
Trump has remained consistent, with 76 percent of potential Republican primary voters viewing him favorably. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis comes 12 points behind, with 64 percent of respondents viewing him favorably. Trump and DeSantis are tied in terms of unfavorable ratings at 22 percent each. Anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy has seen a tremendous boost since the start of the poll’s tracking, as most had never heard of him.
The daughter of a senior Lowe's executive died early Saturday after plowing her Porsche supercar into a tree - allegedly while speeding.
Stella Grace Bright, 16, who has a twin sister called Olivia, was driving her 2014 Porsche 911 near Lake Norman, North Carolina when she flew off the road and ended up in a rock landscaping wall, which killed the teen and hospitalized two others in her car.
One of the two passengers was in the back of the Porsche, even though it is a two-seater which is not supposed to hold rear-seat passengers. Bright and the other front seat passenger were both in seat belts.
The real end goal of the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Vivek Ramaswamy campaigns is a leadership position in the Trump administration. How much criticism of Trump have we heard from these two Trump political opponents? The key for Trump and for our country to win could be a powerful coalition with RFK Jr. and his millions of Democrat and Independent supporters. With that coalition, freedom will win and evil will lose!
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was born January 17, 1954. Soon after his father was assassinated in 1968, at age 14, RFK Jr. started using marijuana and psychedelic drugs.
Vivek Is Not the Guy

Upstart candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is currently enjoying a surge in popularity, and for good reason: he's intelligent, he's articulate, and he has staked out courageous positions on issues that actually matter to Americans. From intelligence agency abuses to the truth behind the January 6 protests, Vivek hasn't been shy about calling out the runaway corruption of our political system. On top of that, he's offering a positive, coherent vision, centered on reviving the founding principles of 1776.
