Krannawitter: The constant in life is Joe Biden and he’s not going anywhere

By THOMAS L. KRANNAWITTER, PH.D. | Commentary, Liberty Lyceum Barring some catastrophic medical or other emergency, Joe Biden won’t be stepping down before the November general election. Even if he experiences some debilitating medical crisis—such as a paralyzing stroke—he might still not step down. Jill Biden shows many signs of being another Edith Wilson. If Edith Wilson—wife of President Woodrow Wilson—could conceal her husband’s stroke and control what information the President received and who was permitted to see him, why can’t Jill Biden? There is, after all, a long tradition of Democratic wives married to Presidents lying about and actively covering up big problems with their husbands.

U.S. home prices just hit another all-time high, Redfin report shows

By Megan Henney | Fox Business The cost of buying a new house just hit another all-time high, according to new data.  Findings from Redfin show the median U.S. home sale price soared to $397,954 in June – a nearly 5% increase from a year earlier. That marks the highest level on record and the biggest annual increase since March. The monthly mortgage payment at that price, when accounting for the 6.86% median interest rate for a 30-year mortgage, is now $2,749. That is roughly $88 shy of April's record, thanks to a slight drop in mortgage rates. "High mortgage rates and record-setting home prices have made affordability the biggest challenge in the housing market in 2024," said Lisa Sturtevant, Bright MLS chief economist.

Fentanyl, weapons, other drug seizures at northern border setting records

By  Bethany Blankley | The Center Square Federal agents working at ports of entry in northern U.S. cities and in small towns along the U.S.-Canadian border are continuing to thwart illegal activity. Federal agents working in Detroit, Chicago, Cincinnati and in a small border town of North Dakota continue to interdict fentanyl, weapons, fake e-cigarettes and illegal prescription drugs stemming from the border crisis. In Detroit, U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Field Operations agents seized nearly six pounds of fentanyl in one enforcement action at the Fort Street Cargo Facility. It was the largest seizure of its kind for the Port of Detroit, and one of the largest inbound fentanyl seizures at the northern border in the last five years, CBP says. READ THE FULL ...

Biden to Hill Dems: ‘I am firmly committed to staying in this race,’ ignoring growing calls to end bid

By NICHOLAS WU and DANIELLA DIAZ | Politico President Joe Biden is attempting to head off more intraparty calls for him to drop out of the race, sending a letter to Hill Democrats Monday morning that emphatically stated he would continue on as the party’s planned nominee. “I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump,” he said in the letter to lawmakers. Not even 24 hours before, four senior Democrats said on a private call with House party leadership that Biden should step aside. With Congress returning from the July Fourth recess Monday, Biden and his campaign have scrambled to tamp down lawmakers’ concerns about his viability as a candidate after his widely-panned debate performance.

WURD-AM radio host leaves station after using questions provided by Biden campaign in interview

By Mallory Wilson  | The Washington Times A radio host from Philadelphia has parted ways with her station after she admitted to using prewritten questions from the Biden campaign in an interview with President Biden. Andrea Lawful-Sanders and WURD “mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately,” the company said in a statement Sunday. “The interview featured pre-determined questions provided by the White House, which violates our practice of remaining an independent media outlet accountable to our listeners,” Sara M. Lomax, president and CEO of WURD Radio, said in the statement. The statement said the interview Wednesday — the first interview with the president after his shaky debate performance on June 27— was “arranged and negotiated independent...

Visitor logs detail top Parkinson’s disease specialist visited White House 10 times since 2022

By Peter Cordi | Washington Examiner President Joe Biden’s physician met with a top Washington, D.C., neurologist who specializes in Parkinson’s disease earlier this year, according to White House visitor logs. The logs show that Parkinson’s disease expert Dr. Kevin Cannard of the Walter Reed Medical Center met with Biden’s physician Kevin O’Connor and two others at the White House residence clinic on Jan. 17. Cannard’s name shows up in the visitor logs 10 times since Nov. 15, 2022. “It’s highly likely they were talking about Biden,” Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) told the New York Post, who first reported on the Jan. meeting. “He should only be [regularly] treating the president and the first family.” Jackson served as physician to the presid...

Report: Taxpayers are funding services for illegals; Congress, including Republicans, approved it

By Bethany Blankley | The Center Square Taxpayers are not only funding the border crisis, but they are also paying for numerous free services illegal foreign nationals receive, according to a new report published by the House Judiciary Committee and its Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement.  The committee blames the Biden administration in its new report, "Chauffeur at the Border, Concierge in the Interior: How the Biden Administration Rewards Illegal Aliens on the Taxpayers' Dime" for costs to U.S. taxpayers.   It also notes that Congress, including Republicans, voted to fund the programs it identified as wasting taxpayer money and facilitating the border crisis when Congress passed an omnibus appropriations bill in M...

Biden was asked questions in radio ‘interview’ his own campaign provided

By Alex Miller | The Washington Times President Biden’s campaign came up with questions for a Philadelphia-based radio host who interviewed him this week. Andrea Lawful-Sanders, host of “The Source,” said she was sent the questions from Mr. Biden’s campaign ahead of her Q&A that was recorded Wednesday and aired Thursday. “I got several questions, eight of them, and the four that were chosen were the ones that I approved,” Ms. Lawful-Sanders told CNN’s Victor Blackwell on Saturday.  Mr. Blackwell noted that Ms. Lawful-Sanders and his other guest, Earl Ingram, a Milwaukee-based radio host who also interviewed Mr. Biden this week, asked basically the same questions.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON TIMES

McKenna: Reflecting on America and Independence Day

By Stephen McKenna | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice On July 4, 1776, Thomas Jefferson presented perhaps the most consequential document written since the Bible to the Second Continental Congress. On Aug. 2, the 56 delegates to that Congress, representing the 13 colonies, signed the Declaration of Independence. In doing so, these patriots also signed their own death warrants, should the British empire rebuff their effort to create a country ensuring every individual’s right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”  From Patrick Henry’s closing line to the Second Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775, "Give me liberty or give me death!” to former schoolteacher and Continental Army officer Nathan Hale’s, “I only regret that I have but one life to give to my count...
