Posted By: Imright, 7/18/2024 12:27:06 PM
Sources tell Axios' Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen that Democratic party leaders and close friends of Joe Biden will convince him to bail out of the presidential contest as soon as this weekend.According to the report, Biden's defiance is strictly for public consumption. In private "he's resigned to mounting pressure, bad polls, and untenable scrutiny making it impossible to continue his campaign, the Democrats tell us." Behind the scenes: The private message, distilled to its bluntest form: The top leaders of his party, his friends and key donors believe he can't win, can't change public perceptions of his age and acuity, and can't deliver congressional majorities.

attempt in believed first call since leaving office 5 replies
Former President Donald Trump spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the phone, ostensibly for the first time since leaving office in January 2021.
As his chances of victory in the November election appear to grow, some world leaders have started making limited overtures to Trump in preparation for a possible second presidency. One of these has been Zelensky, who is heavily reliant on the United States for support in its war with Russia. Both parties said the call was productive.Trump said Zelensky congratulated him on winning the Republican nomination for president and condemned the “heinous assassination attempt” last Saturday. He also, according to the former president, “remarked about
U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, a long-serving Democrat from Texas, has passed away at the age of 74.

Today, with incredible grief for our loss yet deep gratitude for the life she shared with us, we announce the passing of United States Representative Sheila Jackson Lee of the 18th Congressional District of Texas.

Less than a week after his attempted assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania, a Florida man has been arrested for making threats to kill former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), on social media. Details are scarce, but it is confirmed that authorities weren’t taking any chances after the mayhem and chaos of last weekend (via NBC News): Authorities arrested and charged a man in Florida over alleged social media threats against former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance.
Michael M. Wiseman was arrested Friday on charges of written threats to kill,
Anthony Fauci dismissed the gunshot wound Donald Trump sustained during Saturday's assassination attempt, telling CNN viewers: 'he's in the clear.'
Fauci made the comments after the former president, 78, wore a large white bandage over the gunshot wound on his ear throughout the Republican National Convention this week.
'I don't think there is much more to it,' Fauci, 83, said of Trump's wounds while talking to CNN host Wolf Blitzer on Friday. 'It was a bullet shot that grazed his ear.'

Former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated a week ago, as he spoke at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday in what is seen as the largest Secret Service failure in four decades.
The bottom line is the agency in charge of protecting Trump failed to stop the shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, from positioning himself less than 500 feet away and firing eight bullets at the former president, one coming mere millimeters from taking his life. There are multiple investigations underway, but so far, very few answers. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle is due to testify to the House Oversight Committee on Monday. Here are nine major
Lansing, Mich.—Michigan Republican state Rep. Josh Schriver is writing a bill that would provide “unlimited” protection resources to former president Donald Trump whenever he visits the state.
The announcement came just four days after Trump was nearly assassinated at July 13 campaign event in Butler, Pa.
“In light of the left-wing assassination attempt on former President Trump’s life, I’m currently drafting a policy for Michigan to provide the presumptive next president of the United States unlimited law enforcement resources toward his protection every time he visits Michigan between now and his inauguration,” Schriver tweeted. (X) Schriver feels the shooting in Pennsylvania was a security “disaster,”

Hopefully, no none has been injured or worse.
PJ Media has details:

Corey Comperatore, the husband, father, and firefighter killed by former President Donald Trump’s would-be assassin last Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, was laid to rest on Friday.
Photos and videos show Comperatore’s casket leaving Cabot United Methodist Church, draped in the American flag. According to the New York Post, eight firefighters carried the casket out. Comperatore was killed that day, shielding his family from the bullets raining down on them.
(X's Videos) “He’s my hero,” his widow, Helen Comperatore told The Post. “He just said, ‘Get down!’ That was the last thing he said.”
Comperatore’s daughter also said her father died a hero.
The View's Joy Behar has been slammed for describing Donald Trump as 'very narcissistic' after he claimed he survived his assassination attempt because God was 'on his side' – with a growing mob now calling for her to be sacked.
The former president, 78, acknowledged his Christian faith as he addressed the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, earlier this week, marking his first speech since he was shot at by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks last Saturday.
Behar, 81, criticized Trump's lengthy statement during Friday's episode, branding his words 'very unchristian' and 'disturbing.'
US President Joe Biden doubled down on his insistence that he will stay in the White House race, despite a growing Democrat revolt that raised speculation he could bow out as soon as this weekend.
“The stakes are high, and the choice is clear. Together, we will win,” the 81-year-old said in a written statement from the Delaware beach home where he is recovering from Covid. Biden vowed to return to the campaign trail next week, and took aim at Donald Trump’s “dark” speech accepting his nomination at the Republican National Convention on Thursday.
But his defiance came as six more House Democrats and another senator joined those publicly
Is there a shift coming?
We're seeing Democrats continuing to implode all over the place over their presidential candidate.
Meanwhile, Republicans have come together behind former President Donald Trump, and they just had a banger of a convention that even CNN's Van Jones had to praise because of the spirit it had. When even those on the left have to acknowledge the obvious, you know that the narrative is taking a serious beating and may be in trouble. Now, let's add one more to that narrative whomping.
CEO of Meta Mark Zuckerberg just made some surprising comments about the Trump assassination attempt in a new interview.
Mourners gathered at a Pennsylvania church Friday for the funeral of the volunteer fire chief killed at Donald Trump’s rally last weekend – as the deceased’s casket was carried from the venue draped in a US flag.
The casket of Corey Comperatore, 50, was carried by eight firefighters out of Cabot United Methodist Church as the deceased’s widow and other mourner’s looked on.
The husband and father of two was killed while trying to shield his family when a gunman opened fire from a factory rooftop during Trump’s rally at the Butler Farm Show grounds Saturday evening.

As President Joe Biden faces a growing drumbeat of pressure to drop his reelection bid, a majority of Democrats think his vice president would make a good president herself.
A new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 6 in 10 Democrats believe Kamala Harris would do a good job in the top slot. About 2 in 10 Democrats don’t believe she would, and another 2 in 10 say they don’t know enough to say.
Since Biden’s debate debacle on June 27, many Democrats have privately and even openly looked to Harris to step in and succeed Biden as the party’s presidential nominee.

Donald Trump may well have sealed the outcome of the 2024 election with a performance on Thursday night in Milwaukee that has largely been unmatched in recent American political history.
The former president eschewed the polarization and division that has marked much of his rhetoric in the past. In his speech officially accepting the Republican Party's nomination there were only a couple of references to the 2020 election. Trump was able to hit on key messages when speaking about topics like inflation, and especially immigration, in ways that were compelling and arguably responsive to the fundamental concerns of Americans.
I say this not to engage in hyperbole,
President Joe Biden feels personally hurt and betrayed by the way so many Democrats, including some of the party’s top leaders, have left him hung out to dry as he faces the biggest crisis of his political career, according to two sources familiar with his thinking.
And privately, many of those leaders have expressed doubts about his path forward. Former President Barack Obama’s only public comment came the day after Biden’s disastrous debate last month, when he tweeted “Bad debate nights happen“ and talked about his former vice president’s virtues. Privately, however, Obama has concerns. Bill and Hillary Clinton have
For the first time, researchers have voted to eliminate scientific names of organisms because they are offensive. Botanists decided that more than 200 plants, fungi and algae species names should no longer contain a racial slur related to the word caffra, which is used against Black people and others mostly in southern Africa. The changes voted on today at the International Botanical Congress in Madrid mean that plants such as the coast coral tree will, from 2026, be formally called Erythrina affra, instead of Erythrina caffra. (snip) The measure passed in a tense secret ballot, with 351 votes in favour against 205 opposed.
Welcome to post-truth, post-fact, and post-reality America where the occurrence of an event you don’t like is immediately a conspiracy to be ridiculed, dismissed, and ‘just asking questions about it’ to death.
The attempted assassination of President Trump falls into that category. Since it’s politically inconvenient, 1 in 3 Dems have already adopted the position that it was staged.

Why does she always do this?
Kamala Harris was in North Carolina rallying a small crowd of supporters as Joe Biden stayed out of the public eye after he announced he has Covid.
Harris mustered a fake accent as she delivered a campaign speech to North Carolina rallygoers in a city near Fort Liberty (previously Fort Bragg).
“We too busy watchin’ what you doin’ to hear what you’re sayin,'” Harris said in her fake accent. (Video) Harris bragged about defying the Supreme Court in their taxpayer-funded student loan bailout.

WASHINGTON — Members of President Joe Biden’s family have discussed what an exit from his campaign might look like, according to two people familiar with the discussions.
The overall tone of the conversations has been that any exit plan — should Biden decide to take that step, as some of his closest allies increasingly believe he will — should put the party in the best position to beat former President Donald Trump while also being worthy of the more than five decades he has served the country in elected office, these people said.
Biden’s family members have specifically discussed
