Former President Trump is making a special 78th birthday appearance for fans in his “Club 47” group at a venue near his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Fla. Congressional Republicans feted the party’s presumptive presidential nominee on Thursday during Trump’s first post-Jan. 6, 2021, visit to the Capitol. Should Trump return to the White House, he would be on track to edge out President Biden as the Oval Office’s oldest occupant by the end of his second administration. The event is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. EDT. Watch the live video above.

Nearly Half of Americans Have Little Faith
Biden Will Make It Through First Debate

Nearly half of Americans expect President Joe Biden to suffer an embarrassing gaffe during the first debate against former President Donald Trump. According to a new poll by J.L. Partners, 49 percent of voters believe Biden will forget where he is while on stage with Trump, and 41 percent expect him to wander off of the stage. The survey also found that a massive 70 percent of Americans think the 81-year-old president will fumble over his words— something he is very prone to. Voters from both sides of the political aisle doubt Biden’s ability to even make it through the whole debate in one piece.

Black sports icons praised former President Donald Trump in a recent interview, as recent polls showing black support rising for the 2024 presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Semafor’s Kadia Goba spoke to a handful of them, who have known and been friends with Trump for decades, including boxing champion Mike Tyson, baseball star Daryl Strawberry, famed boxing promotor Don King, and football star and former Georgia U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker. Goba wrote: “They had made deals together, weathered crises together, and shared family gatherings together. One had even chaperoned Don Jr. on a trip to Disney World.”

Alarmed by an incident in April that involved a member of Vice President Kamala Harris’s security detail, the House Oversight Committee will be briefed next week on hiring and training issues that could be impacting the Secret Service. According to the Washington Examiner, an armed agent who was part of the protective detail for Harris scuffled with other agents at Joint Base Andrews near Washington, D.C. on April 22. House Oversight and Accountability Chairman Rep. James Comer of Kentucky sent the Secret Service a letter in May asking to learn more about concerns regarding the incident and the broader issue of training, according to Fox News.

If you watched this Morning Joe segment on MSNBC, you’d think no American president had ever had a successful outing with foreign leaders until Joe Biden was elected. The media and Democrats are engaging in a full-court press after capturing numerous videos of Biden looking aloof and wandering off. The president’s campaign went so far as to call the clips misinformation. Joe Scarborough echoed that sentiment, claiming the unflattering images of the president looking absolutely lost were “cheap fakes.”

CNN is forcing other television networks and outlets to agree to a list of tedious requirements in exchange for the ability to air the first 2024 presidential debate, sources told The Los Angeles Times. Despite becoming the first TV network in history to secure the exclusive rights to air a general election debate, CNN is opting to allow other networks the ability to simulcast the June 27 face-off between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. The network, however, has cobbled together a rather finicky list of conditions for what rival networks and other outlets like Fox News and MSNBC are allowed to do in exchange for the rights to

Vice President Kamala Harris’ former communications director Ashley Etienne said Friday on CNN’s “Laura Coates Live” that if former President Donald Trump taps Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his running mate, it would pose a debate threat to the vice president. Coates said, “One of the things we’re hearing from The New York Times — it’s actually reporting that Donald Trump is thinking about debate performances as who he considers.”Etienne said, “I mean, it says to me that to some degree that they think that she’s somewhat of a threat. I mean, she’s a former prosecutor. She’s spent time in courts defending her clients and defending the interests of California.

President Joe Biden’s lawfare against former President Donald Trump has “absolutely backfired on the Democrats,” Trump 2024 national campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday. Breitbart News Saturday host and Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle pointed to a slew of recent polls that show Trump actually going up in numbers after the Manhattan jury’s controversial guilty verdict. “Crooked Joe Biden’s trial absolutely backfired on the Democrats. I don’t know when they’re going to stop underestimating Donald Trump, but nothing will slow him down or stop him from exposing the truth about the corruption in the Democrat Party and

School trips to Washington, D.C., are a much-anticipated ritual for students nationwide. Hordes of teens flow through the nation’s capital throughout the year to visit the wide variety of museums and the key bodies of the republic the city has to offer. Buying souvenirs commemorating the trip is another honored tradition, and local shops say the teens know what they want when they descend on the businesses-Trump merchandise. (Snip) Ismail said he’s never seen anything bewitch customers so fervently, although Trump merch is a close second: T-shirts with his mug shot and visors with fake orange hair flowing out the top.

That is our goal at the RNC. Every single person in this country, regardless of how you vote, should want free and fair elections.” Joined by RNC Chairman Michael Watley, she detailed the plans to mobilize an ‘election watchdog army’ that will operate across

A body language expert has revealed the true nature of Kate and Wills' relationship after watching them share a romantic moment on the Buckingham Palace balcony. The Princess of Wales dazzled today as she re-entered the public eye for the first time this year in the midst of her cancer treatment and joined the royal family to celebrate the King's official birthday. Beaming to crowds of royal fans lining The Mall and gently taking care of her three young children, Kate sparked through the torrential rain after a difficult series of months that she has mostly spent coming to terms with the diagnosis and receiving ongoing chemotherapy.

London– Britain put on a display of birthday pageantry Saturday for King Charles III, a military parade that marked the Princess of Wales’ first public appearance since her cancer diagnosis early this year. The annual event was also a show of stability by the monarchy after months in which both the king and Kate, wife of heir to the throne Prince William, have been sidelined by cancer treatment. Kate joined other members of the royal family on a Buckingham Palace balcony at the end of the King’s Birthday Parade. The family and crowds outside the palace watched a flyby of military aircraft to cap ceremonies marking the monarch’s official birthday
‘Are You Moving Out Of California?’ 13 replies

Several weeks ago, I flew to Texas to visit my friend Mollie, who had left California in 2022. Whenever I told someone I was going to Texas, their first question was, “Are you moving out of California?” How different from when I moved to California in 1977… “I’m so jealous!” That was the reaction of family and friends when my husband and I announced that, after one year of marriage, we were leaving New York. It was a difficult decision because I was close to my parents, particularly my mother. For us, the primary reason was the weather. We did not enjoy humid summers or frozen winters and wanted to move

The head actuaries for Social Security and Medicare have testified before a House committee about looming financial challenges which could see funds run short by 2035. Social Security relies on its trust funds to provide monthly benefit checks to around 70 million Americans. But an aging population is pushing up the cost of the program as a smaller share of people are paying into it, and spending is outpacing income.

The U.S. House of Representatives has recently passed an amendment as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025. The amendment H.R. 8070 will automatically register all draft-age male U.S. residents with the Selective Service System for a possible military draft, based on information from other Federal databases. This new system of automatic draft registration would replace the existing system, in place since 1980, in which young men have the freedom to decide whether or not to sign up for the draft. According to People’s World, the automatic draft registration proposal was initiated by the Selective Service System (SSS) as part of its annual budget request to Congress.

Nancy Pelosi is losing it. The former Democrat Speaker of the House is the walking personification of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Her hatred for the former (and likely next) president burns white-hot, as evidenced by her petulant, childish, immature, and unbecoming incident in which she tore up her copy of President Trump's 2020 State of the Union speech. Now, she's just becoming pathetic, as we see in her recent interview with MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell, where she begged the Trump family and the GOP to "stage an intervention" to prevent Trump from running. Why? Probably because she can see that he's winning.

Let’s not be fooled. But what this election is about, it’s about the character of the person leading our country.” As the first lady stops in Wisconsin, Minnesota, California, Nevada, and Arizona, she is rolling out

Democrats plan to disrupt Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to a special joint session of Congress on July 24 in an unprecedented show of hostility to the democratically-elected leader of a close American ally. 56 Democrats boycotted Netanyahu’s speech in 2015, when Republicans invited him to argue against then-President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran. This time, Axios reports, “Democrats plan to go bigger than a boycott”: The proposals include a press conference, a vigil, or an event with families of those taken hostage by Hamas, many of whom feel Netanyahu hasn’t done enough to free their loved ones. In a sign of how extensive and high-level some of these discussions are,

The Justice Department said Friday it will not prosecute Merrick Garland on contempt-of-Congress charges, two days after House Republicans voted to hold the attorney general in contempt for refusing to turn over the audio from President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur. The DOJ said Friday the refusal to provide the audio did not amount to a crime. House lawmakers voted 216–207 on the Garland contempt resolution on Wednesday, with one Republican representative, Dave Joyce of Ohio, joining Democrats in voting against it. Eight members did not vote on the measure.

The twice-impeached 45th president and newly convicted criminal was back on Capitol Hill Thursday for the first time since his supporters beat up police officers and smashed their way through the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

The Los Angeles City Council has decided to remove ‘No U-Turn’ signs from a gay neighborhood, claiming they’re homophobic. In an era where ideologies should be advancing, it’s baffling that the far-left remains stuck in the past, misreading everyday symbols as politicized messages. Who, in the year 2024, still believes that road signs like “No U-Turn” are covert directives aimed at the LGBTQ+ community, instructing them not to engage in wild sex in the streets? I didn’t know that traffic signs were hurting feelings. According to the LA Times: Messages like, “No cruising. No U-turns. Midnight to 6 am” were posted around the neighborhood in 1997,

Fortunately, Friday is Joe Biden's last day in Italy for the G7, so the time that he can embarrass us overseas at the conference is thankfully coming to an end. We've seen him wandering and people having to help redirect him back to where he was supposed to be going. We've seen him giving garbled answers and snapping at a reporter because the reporter dared to ask him a question at his presser that wasn't about Ukraine. That managed to get a reaction out of the White House Correspondents Association. They threw Biden under the bus in their statement, saying there were no "deals" as he claimed.
