Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff is set to meet Monday with six Jewish college students to discuss the ongoing wave of antisemitism on campuses around the country — including one student, bizarrely, from the U.S. Military Academy. Politico reported Monday: Second gentleman Doug Emhoff on Monday will host a half-dozen Jewish students from colleges around the country amid a wave of pro-Palestinian campus protests criticized for featuring antisemitic behavior. … Emhoff is the only of the four principals at the White House who is known to have called students who felt targeted or threatened by the demonstrations.

I like Joel Pollack and Breitbart. But I quit reading at “Second Gentleman…” “Second” implies there is a “First.” NEYT.

Sounds like meeting the wife who gets beaten to discuss with her what she needs to do to stop making her husband so mad that he beats her.

During a portion of an interview with CNN set to air on Wednesday’s broadcast of “OutFront” that was aired on Wednesday’s broadcast of “The Lead,” President Joe Biden stated that no one has ever “had the run we’ve had in terms of creating jobs and bringing down inflation. It was 9% when I came into office, 9%.” But people are right to be concerned about greed from corporations. Biden said, “[N]o president’s had the run we’ve had in terms of creating jobs and bringing down inflation. It was 9% when I came into office, 9%.

Joe Biden on Wednesday traveled to Wisconsin to brag about his dumpster fire economy and a $3 billion investment from Microsoft in a new AI data center. After trashing Trump during his disastrous speech at Gateway Technical College in Sturtevant, Biden made a brief campaign stop to speak with ‘supporters’ in Racine. 81 million vote recipient Joe Biden spoke to a few dozen ‘supporters’ in Racine before taking off to Chicago for a private, closed-door fundraiser. Biden trashed Trump as he mumbled through remarks in a small venue full of hostages ‘supporters’ (the room was full of mainly media, staffers and Secret Service).

He has grown up behind a wall of secrecy because of his mom Melania's dogged determination to shield him from the public glare. But Donald Trump's youngest son Barron, 18, has quietly blossomed into an engaging young man who has leading conservatives purring over his charm and political acumen, DailyMail.com can reveal. Sources tell us the strapping 6ft 7in teen who has never uttered a word in public is nonetheless a steadfast supporter of the Trump 2024 campaign behind the scenes.And – perhaps more ominously for the former President's Democratic opponents – he's also expressed an interest in following in his 77-year-old father's footsteps.

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), a vulnerable incumbent running for reelection against Republican nominee Bernie Moreno, has been aligning himself with President Joe Biden and his politics. It may not be the smartest move, given how Ohio has become increasingly red, and the incumbent president being such an unpopular figure there.

President Trump on Wednesday posted a new complaint on Truth Social against the Democrat Biden-linked attorneys who are holding him in court on bogus lawfare charges to prevent him from campaigning for president. This is unlike anything we’ve ever seen in US history. The Democrats are not only attempting to destroy Trump’s reputation and ruin him financially, they are wasting his time so he cannot speak to the people of America. And the fake news legacy media outlets are ALL supporting this historic abuse.

Stormy Daniels’s testimony on Tuesday was such an absolute disaster that even CNN was forced to admit it. CNN legal analyst Elie Honig said that, although Daniels’ testimony about a sexual encounter with Trump in a hotel room in 2006 was “plausible,” her responses while under cross-examination by Trump’s legal team called her credibility into question. Referring to the moment Daniels admitted she hates President Trump, Honig said, “Her responses were disastrous.” Adding, “That’s a big deal.”

Whenever things don't go his way in life, Donald Trump has a tendency to rail against the "unfairness" of a "rigged" system. Sometimes, that's bruised-ego blame-shift and childish self-pity. Sometimes, he's right. The disgraceful, politically-motivated case against him in New York City falls into the latter category. The legal theory, if you can call it that, behind Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's prosecution involves resuscitating lapsed, possible misdemeanors related to bookkeeping categorizations of (totally legal) 'hush money' payments. In order to bypass a pesky 'expired statute of limitations' problem, and to escalate the alleged offenses into dozens of felonies, Bragg says the bookkeeping scheme

Joe Biden has committed his umpteenth impeachable offense. According to reports, the Biden administration has halted multiple arms shipments to Israel. That decision comes amid a domestic political crisis for the president in which he is desperately seeking to appease Hamas-supporting Democrats who have taken to the streets. The shipments are Boeing-made precision bombs and follow a ruse by Hamas to claim they had accepted a "ceasefire" just as Israel began its assault on Rafah. (X) In other words, Biden just committed an impeachable offense. Congress appropriated that aid to Israel. He doesn't get to delay it in an attempt to smooth over his political misfortunes at home.

Shocking footage showed the moment the plane attempted an emergency landing, smashing down into the runway and scraping its nose along the concrete.

WASHINGTON — Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and his allies beat back a dramatic effort by far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to oust him from power on Wednesday, ending — for now — months of threats against his speakership. The lopsided vote to "table" or kill Greene's motion to vacate the speaker's chair was 359-43. Just 10 Republicans voted with Greene, seven Democrats voted present. There were 196 Republicans and 163 Democrats who voted to kill Greene's motion; along with the 11 Republicans, 32 Democrats voted to move forward with her motion to oust Johnson. The vote came after weeks of threats from Greene

Judge Juan Merchan allowed porn performer Stormy Daniels to babble on at length about her alleged affair with Donald Trump, including salacious details that would seem to have little relevance to whether the former president falsified business records, which is what Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's prosecution is allegedly about. It became so ridiculous that jurors reportedly had trouble keeping straight faces and were even smirking. Although Merchan refused to call a mistrial Tuesday as requested by the Trump team, even he admitted that too much irrelevant information was allowed and that the witness, Daniels, was “difficult to control.” “There are some things that would have been better left unsaid,"

The Biden administration paused the shipment of thousands of bombs to Israel last week because of its concerns about an Israeli invasion of Rafah, the last remaining Hamas stronghold in the Gaza Strip. The shipment was meant to transfer 3,500 bombs to Israel, which the United States halted over worries about the larger munitions in the package being used in an urban setting, an anonymous administration official told the Associated Press. U.S. officials were concerned about how the 500-pound and 2,000-pound bombs could be used in a dense urban setting. The pause marks the first time the U.S. has publicly held up military aid to Israel since the October 7

Biden, in an interview with CNN, said the U.S. was still committed to Israel’s defense and would supply Iron Dome rocket interceptors and other defensive arms, but that if Israel goes into Rafah, “we’re not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells used.” The U.S. has historically provided enormous amounts of military aid to Israel.

If you thought the Manhattan criminal trial of former President Donald Trump couldn’t devolve into more ridiculousness, it did on Tuesday. The folly of DA Alvin Bragg’s prosecution was further exposed when the notorious ex-porn star, Stormy Daniels, sashayed to the witness stand. Not unexpectedly, she offered a tutorial on her notorious vocation —sex. Her real name is Stephanie Clifford, but her nom de plume is what made her famous in the underworld of adult erotica. In court, she confirmed starring in "40-Year-Old Virgin" and "Knocked Up." That may have been titillating, but was there really a point? Like most of her testimony, no. Let’s review.
