Independent Presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr. will reportedly not make the debate stage next week with former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden in Atlanta, Georgia. The former Democrat will apparently fail to satisfy CNN’s stringent ballot access requirement by Thursday, the Washington Post reports. CNN noted in May that candidates must “appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold” necessary to win the White House to make the June 27 debate. The Post reports Kennedy is currently eligible for 100 electoral votes when considering states he is certified in and other states, like California and Hawaii,

Again, Kennedy is an environmentalist, anti-2nd Amendment, liberal democrat. If polls clearly show that he is taking votes from Biden, Kennedy will drop out. Kennedy won’t be the bad guy who costs Biden the election.

This debate will be a joke. I don't know why Trump agreed but he likely has a good reason. Wonder which fake Biden will show up.

They've tossed him aside, like a worn out shoe. Whether or not I would have voted for RFK, Jr., is completely beside the point. CNN is just too uppity for my taste. I'll read the transcript afterward, but will avoid every camera shot that tries to "stuff the ballot box by proxy." I'm thankful for MeTV and the avoidance of such crappy theatrics as a "fake debate."

I know why Trump agreed to the debate, but I wish he had demanded more unbiased moderators. The debate will cover abortion, Jan 6, and Trump's felony conviction and not much else.

All Trump has to do is show up, and that blithering idiot Biden will lose without assistance. It is getting harder and harder for them to amp him up with meds for these events.

A Democrat political strategist is confirming what many believe is the biggest problem with Joe Biden's re-election campaign: Joe Biden. The president - a week ahead of the surprise first debate against Donald Trump - continues to struggle in the polls, often trailing nationally and in key swing states. What's worse for Biden is that the Democrat Senators defending their seats this November are running ahead of Biden and even handily leading their Republican opponent.However, in the same polls, the consistently gaffe-prone Biden is either barely leading or outright trailing his long-time rival.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has announced his intention to launch a legal battle against the State of New York, accusing it of an unconstitutional attack on the democratic process through its legal actions against President Donald Trump. In a bold declaration on X, Bailey wrote, “I will be filing suit against the State of New York for their direct attack on our democratic process through unconstitutional lawfare against President Trump. It’s time to restore the rule of law.” “We have to fight back against a rogue prosecutor who is trying to take a presidential candidate off the campaign trail.

Support for Biden among women is now starting to slip. He has the lowest support among women of any Democrat since 2004. Women are one of the last reliable parts of the Democrat coalition that has stood by Biden despite his disastrous presidency. Black voters are abandoning him, as well as Latino voters and young voters. If he loses women, he is toast. And even worse, this is coming from the liberal New York Times.

Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee raised $85 million toward the president’s 2024 re-election effort last month, according to a report — a figure well short of former President Donald Trump’s massive May fundraising haul. The 81-year-old incumbent’s May totals mark the second-best month of fundraising for his campaign and allied groups, the Biden campaign told CNBC on Thursday, noting that the president didn’t hold any major fundraisers or events last month. The Biden re-election effort now has $212 million in cash on hand, up from the $192 million it had at the end of April, according to the outlet, which received the campaign’s latest fundraising figures.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is on Twitter/X claiming that House Democrats are fighting to make life more affordable for Americans. Does anyone believe this? When was the last time you heard Democrats in Congress talking about inflation, gas and food prices, or the cost of housing, unless they were defending Biden by lying about all of it? They seem far more interested in promoting climate change and LGBT issues than anything having to do with making life more affordable. Look at his tweet: (X) No one is buying it.

On Thursday evening Joe Biden arrived at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Catoctin Mountain Park in Maryland where he will be hiding and doped up until next week’s presidential debate. 81-year-old Biden wore sneakers as he lumbered down the Air Force One steps and shuffled across the tarmac at Hagerstown Regional Airport in Maryland. Biden’s stiffened gait alarmed the public. He staggered and swayed as he made his way to Marine One en route to Camp David. The only way Biden will be able to function at next week’s debate is if he is doped up on a cocktail of meds.

Senior judges in Florida approached Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon last year to ask her to step back from his Mar-a-Lago classified documents case – but she steadfastly refused, according to a shocking new report. Cannon has been the source of fury and puzzlement among Trump critics after she issued rulings in the case that got overturned and failed to get it on track for trial before the November elections. Trump was indicted in June 2023 and charged with illegally retaining national security documents at his Florida club.Not long after the fact, two senior federal judges asked Cannon, who had been assigned the case, to step back, the New York Times reported Thursday,

On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released figures for May, showing Biden’s parole pipeline is continuing to release tens of thousands of foreign nationals into the U.S. interior via the southern border and commercial flights every month.

The two men charged with the murder of a 12-year-old Texas girl are migrants from Venezuela who were released under the 'alternatives to detention' program. Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, was fitted with a GPS ankle monitor by border patrol after he crossed at El Paso in Texas on May 28, but he had cut it off by the time they were arrested for killing Jocelyn Nungaray. Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, was also released after being intercepted by border agents on March 14, little more than three months before Jocelyn's body was found floating in a creek near her Houston home on Monday.

Former President Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden by double digits among independents in New York State, the latest Siena College survey found. The overall survey showed Biden with a net negative approval rating in the blue state. Just 42 percent favor Biden, while most, 53 percent, view him unfavorably — a net negative favorable rating of -11 percent. In May, 45 percent viewed him favorably, compared to 50 percent who had an unfavorable view, giving him a net negative of -5. In other words, his net unfavorable rating increased by six percentage points in the last month.

President Joe Biden is being shuffled to Camp Debate to prepare for the most consequential debate of his political career: the June 27 debate with former President Donald Trump. Biden is mustering all his top advisers to prepare him for this epic showdown, where the president’s mental health and stamina will be tested. For weeks, we’ve seen a mentally declining president on display. CBS News reported that “we should expect some surprises” from this debate preparation excursion. And what will that be—Biden not falling or him saying something remotely coherent? The 2024 playbook is a mess, and it's Democrats who are making that known behind the scenes.

Taylor Swift's Wembley Eras Tour is just around the corner, but a recent incident has thrown a splash of orange paint onto the pre-show buzz. Swift's private jet became an unwitting target in a London airport protest. Eco-activists from the group Just Stop Oil doused several private jets with orange paint, with Swift's plane reportedly among those present at the moment. The Cruel Summer singer’s jet was believed to have just landed hours before the “second anti-fossil fuels protest,” took shape.

The multitude of errors and missed signals that led up to the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon taught us valuable lessons about the nature of the world we live in and how truly vulnerable we are in the United States to bad actors looking for blood. One of the most valuable lessons we learned from that terrible day is that complacency is a deadly disease that can result in tragedy too painful to bear.

Ads on social media, radio, billboards and transit that began rolling out on June 10 warn women to "avoid anti-abortion centers," the Executive Office of Health and Human Services announced. The ads direct viewers to a Mass.gov webpage advertising how to "search for a trusted abortion provider."

In this case, veteran Democrat activist-operative James Carville is openly calling for the creation of a White House-led "enforcement mechanism" to compel the lapdog media to directly help embattled Joe Biden beat Donald Trump in November. We first go back to May, when New York Times editor Joe Kahn said the duty of his paper is to cover news that Americans care about rather than what helps Biden or hurts Trump, while Biden aides were reportedly urging officials to criticize the NYT’s coverage that didn't help Biden or hurt Trump. The Biden aides' plan wasn't good enough for Carville.
