President Biden will depart Tuesday night for France, where he will spend the rest of the week seeking to draw a sharp contrast in values and in global leadership with former President Trump, his 2024 political rival.
Biden is set to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion alongside other world leaders and deliver remarks focused on democracy and freedom, a major tentpole of his reelection bid.
The president will cap off his visit with a stop at the same cemetery where Trump was unable to visit due to weather in 2018 and reportedly referred to those buried there as “losers” and “suckers,” comments Biden has repeatedly
Wilmington, Delaware — A highly anticipated moment in Hunter Biden’s criminal trial took place Tuesday afternoon when the prosecution introduced Hunter Biden’s laptop as evidence during the direct examination of an FBI agent.
Federal prosecutor Derek Hines questioned FBI special agent Erica Jensen on the laptop and federal investigators’ process of verifying its data to prove the device and its contents are authentic before introducing exhibits from the laptop as evidence at trial.
Jensen detailed how law enforcement obtained the laptop’s hard drive in fall 2019 after receiving a tip from a computer store.
A strike by Ukrainian forces on a Russian air-defense missile battery inside Russian territory was likely carried out using a U.S.-made weapons system, a leading American think-tank said Tuesday.
The attack on the Russian S-300/400 battery north of Belogorod city about 25 miles from the Ukraine border over the weekend was probably conducted with a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, the Institute for the Study of War said in a post on X. The Washington-based non-profit research group said the strike picked up on geolocation images of two destroyed launchers and a damaged air defense command post in a field near Kiselyovo village "was likely with HIMARS."

New Delhi — India’s transformative yet divisive Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared victory in national elections on Tuesday evening but his goal of winning an unassailable majority lies in tatters with early results showing voters delivered a shock result that reduces the extent of his party’s grip on power.
“Today is a glorious day… National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is going to form the government for the third time, we are grateful to the people,” Modi told cheering supporters at his party headquarters in New Delhi, referring to the initials of his political alliance. “This is a victory for the world’s largest democracy.”
U.S. and NATO Preparing for War in Europe

Ready for a war between NATO and Russia?
NATO is getting ready for one, with the United States in the starring role. There has been a lot of talk over the past year about European countries arming up for a war with Russia. Generals have been talking about reinstituting the draft, politicians of upping defense spending, and limits on Ukraine's ability to strike into Russian territory with Western weapons lifted.
What started out as a Western effort to bleed Russia dry in Ukraine (and let's face it, that is the primary reason Biden and European leaders poured so many weapons
Benjamin Netanyahu has something in common with Garth Brooks -- he has 'friends' in low places. In an interview with Time Magazine, Joe Biden addressed a number of issues, although just how much Biden addressed them may be up for some debate. Biden insists that he is one of Israel's greatest friends, and at least in the days after October 7, Biden appeared to have determination to act like a friend.
These days, however, Biden's party has fractured on the war that Hamas started with those brutal massacres, rapes, and kidnappings. So Biden is tossing his "friends" under the bus today by quasi-accusing them of "war crimes," an
WASHINGTON — Facing mounting political pressure over the migrant influx at the U.S. southern border, President Joe Biden on Tuesday signed an executive order that will temporarily shut down asylum requests once the average number of daily encounters tops 2,500 between official ports of entry, according to a senior administration official.
The shutdown would go into effect immediately since that threshold has already been met, a senior administration official said. The border would reopen only once that number falls to 1,500. The president’s order would come under the Immigration and Nationality Act sections 212(f) and 215(a) suspending entry of noncitizens who cross the southern border into the United States unlawfully.
Wilmington, Delaware — During his opening statement in Hunter Biden’s trial on Tuesday, prosecutor Derek Hines painted a damning picture of the life Hunter was leading around the time he allegedly illegally purchased a handgun in Delaware, telling jurors that they would be presented with “overwhelming evidence” that the first son was actively addicted to crack cocaine at the time and that he knew he was lying when he said otherwise on a federal gun-purchase background-check form.
Drawing on Hunter’s own account of his struggles with addiction, laid out in his memoir, Beautiful Things, as well as text messages and photos obtained from his abandoned laptop,
If you want to know why the Department of Justice is doing everything it can to block Joe Biden's special counsel interview from seeing the light of day, the interview he just did with TIME provides all the reasoning necessary. Saying that this thing went off the rails might actually be too low-key. Perhaps I should have work-shopped the headline a bit more.
Yeah, it's that bad, and the crescendo of the President of the United States challenging the interviewing reporter to a fight is proof enough of that. We'll get there, but let's start with this exchange on inflation, which TIME actually went back and fact-checked.
Well, well, well. It shouldn't surprise me, but it still kinda does.

Just a few weeks ago President Biden said that he has done all he can to handle the southern border. He said his hands were tied. Only Congress can straighten out the mess he deliberately created on his first day in office.
That is a lie, of course. The man who opened up the southern border through executive action is capable of reversing his executive actions. He knows it. He thinks you are stupid.
The Biden border crisis is intentional. 5,084,568 illegal immigrants have crossed the southern border since Biden took office, according to CBP. There is no way to count the number of gotaways so that number isn't included.
First Lady Jill Biden showed up to a Delaware courthouse on Monday to support first son Hunter Biden on the first day of his gun trial. President Joe Biden, meanwhile, issued a statement from his Wilmington beach house expressing support for Hunter but declining to comment on the three federal charges he faces, which stem from a firearm purchase the younger Biden made in 2018 as he battled crack-cocaine addiction.
“I am the President, but I am also a Dad. Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today,” he said. “Hunter’s resilience in the face of adversity and the strength

Tells Authors to Use ‘Sex Assigned at Birth’ 27 replies
Lancet‘s guidelines encourage writers to embrace gender identity instead of biological sex.
“Sex and gender are often incorrectly portrayed as binary (female/male or woman/man), concordant, and static,” says the guidelines.
Therefore, those submitting articles “should use the term ‘sex assigned at birth’ rather than ‘biological sex,’ ‘birth sex’ or ‘natal sex’ as it is more accurate and inclusive.”
Inclusive for whom? (Rhetorical question. I know the answer. The men pretending to be females)
The Lancet claims “there is no single, universally agreed-upon set of guidelines for defining sex and gender or reporting sex-based and gender based analyses.”

Hunter Biden and his wife Melissa Cohen entered the federal courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware on Tuesday ahead of opening statements in his federal criminal gun trial.
A jury was seated on Monday in Hunter’s trial and opening statements began Tuesday morning.
Hunter held his wife’s hand as he entered the court on Tuesday. His lawyers trailed behind.
WATCH: (X Video) At one point Hunter’s wife Melissa flipped out on a former Trump aide who was at the courthouse observing the trial.
President Joe Biden said Monday he is “so proud” of Hunter Biden, “the man he is today,” as he goes on trial for gun violations.
Joe Biden previously said Hunter was the smartest man he knows amid reports of the Biden family raking in millions of dollars during and after Joe Biden’s vice presidency.
Special Counsel David Weiss charged Hunter in 2023 with one count of false statement in the purchase of a firearm, one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, and one count of false statement related to information required
MSNBC’s so-called ‘historian’ Michael Beschloss went on a rant this weekend about Trump being a dictator and how a second term for him would lead to anarchy.
If you watch the clip below, you’ll notice that Beschloss goes out of his way to use multiple Democrat party talking points.
This guy and people like him should not be on television. He is spreading hysteria and fear based on lies. He is transferring his own mental illness to the viewing audience.
FOX News reported: Presidential historian warns second Trump term would lead to ‘dictatorship and anarchy’
President Joe Biden attacked Donald Trump as a “convicted felon” in a vituperative campaign speech Monday night, declaring his “clearly unhinged” Republican rival somehow “snapped” in the wake of losing the 2020 election.
Biden claimed his moral high ground while addressing a campaign event at the private residence of a wealthy Democratic donor couple in Greenwich, Connecticut, embracing a carping assessment of his 2024 presidential rival, the Independent reports.Eventually declaring, “This guy does not deserve to be president whether or not I’m running,” the octogenarian told his audience the nation’s justice is under threat:

NATO has plans in development to see American troops rushed to the front line should Russia begin a ground war against Europe.
The "land corridors" could see US soldiers arriving at one of five ports along pre-planned routes to confront soldiers sent by Moscow, according to Nato officials. Existing plans have armed forces landing at Dutch ports before boarding trains through Germany and onwards to Poland. These news plans are still being put together and are being made behind the scenes to expand the routes to other ports.
Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley said Monday on Fox News Channel’s “America Reports” that he does not see how former President Donald Trump’s guilty verdict can be sustained.
Co-host Sandra Smith said, “I want to move on to the Trump latest, because here we are, Monday, fresh off the Trump trial and the guilty verdict for the former president.” She asked, “Where do you see it going now that you’ve had a weekend to think about it?” Turley said, “Few people outside of Manhattan have a lot of faith in the New York system right now.

Everyone who has to go to court wants a sympathetic judge. But when a party goes “judge shopping,” it undermines people’s faith in the ability to get a fair hearing. It is bad enough when lawyers try to game the system in civil litigation. It is outrageous when the government does it to get home field advantage in criminal prosecutions, where the goal is to deny someone his/her freedom. Yet, that is exactly what the Department of Justice did recently, and was rightly called out for it.

Why J.D. Vance Is Trump’s Ideal Running Mate
15 replies
President Trump’s vice-presidential search is in the home stretch. Trump must pick a running mate prior to the Republican convention in mid-July, but he has ample incentive to pick one sooner. The sooner he makes his pick, the sooner that individual can prepare for a vice-presidential debate, which could be held as soon as July.
Still, Trump has kept people guessing, as he likes to do.
