Biden Confirms Dems Forced Him Out Over Down-Ballot Concerns (VIDEO)

President Joe Biden confirmed that Democrats pressured him to drop his reelection bid over down-ballot concerns in an interview that aired Sunday on CBS News.

Biden announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election through a letter posted on X July 21, roughly three weeks after the president’s poor debate performance against 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Countless reports surfaced during the three weeks before Biden’s announcement relating to private meetings held by top Democrats — including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former President Barack Obama — to discuss the potential of dumping the president out of concern for the future of the party.

Biden told CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa that the polls between Trump and himself were “neck-and-neck.” Although the president claimed the race would have “been down to the wire,” Trump saw a significant surge in swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — even putting Democratic strongholds like New York and Virginia into play.

“Look, the polls we had showed that it was a neck-and-neck race. It would’ve been down to the wire,” Biden said.

Fans in Shock After Competitor in New Olympic Event Does So Poorly. Internet Ruthlessly Mocks Her

Fans were shocked after Australian breakdancer Rachael “Raygun” Gunn lost all three of her group matches in the first breakdancing tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Video shows Gunn, wearing a vibrant green and yellow tracksuit, circle the stage to the sound of steel drums as she launched into a series of moves — including one called “the kangaroo.” Gunn brought herself to the floor, where she stopped in several awkward poses before dragging herself across the ground with her arms.

Gunn lost to competitors from the U.S., France and Lithuania, according to the New York Post. The 36-year-old Australian did not receive a single vote from the judges, losing each match 18-0. Judges based scoring on factors including technique, execution, musicality and originality.

Multiple social media users pounced on Gunn’s performance with memes and mockery.

Pelosi Praised Walz for Serving ‘On the Battlefield’ in Resurfaced Video

Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota failed to correct then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi when she praised him for his service “on the battlefield” in a resurfaced video from 2007.

Walz’s claims about his military service and the timing of his 2005 retirement from the Minnesota National Guard have come under scrutiny since Vice President Kamala Harris announced him as her running mate Tuesday. In the video, Pelosi and other House Democrats were discussing a congressional resolution regarding the Iraq War while she introduced Walz, remarking on his military service.

“We’ll hear from Congressman — Command Sergeant Major — Tim Walz,” Pelosi said during the event in the CSPAN video while introducing Walz, then a first-term Minnesota Congressman. “And I was so moved by what Tim has said. He said he has taught these young people in high school, and then he had to lead them in the armed services. So he has, he knows, the potential of our young people and what we put at risk when we send them into harm’s way without the equipment that they need. He will speak for himself, but I want him to know how much we all appreciate his service to our country, whether it’s in the classroom or on the battlefield.”

Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, the GOP nominee for vice-president, accused Walz of “dishonesty” while speaking at a campaign event in Wisconsin Wednesday, citing remarks Walz made in a video posted to X by the Harris campaign in which he called for a ban on so-called “assault weapons,” labeling them “weapons of war, that I carried in war.” (Read more from “Pelosi Praised Walz for Serving ‘On the Battlefield’ in Resurfaced Video” HERE)

Olympic Committee President Suggests There’s No Scientific ‘Way’ to Differentiate Between Men and Women

International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach suggested there is no scientific way to differentiate between men and women during a press conference on Friday.

Sex eligibility rules have been a point of contention at the 2024 Paris Olympics, with Italian boxer Angela Carini withdrawing just 46 seconds into her fight with Algerian fighter Imane Khelif. Perhaps as a result, Bach was asked Friday if the committee would perform a review of its sex change guidelines, in response to which he stated there was no concrete, scientific way to differentiate men from women.

“We have said from the very beginning, if somebody presented us [a] scientifically solid system how to identify men and women we [the IOC] are the first ones to do it,” Bach told reporters. “It is not as easy as some in this cultural world may want to portray it — that the XX or the XY [chromosome] is the clear distinction between men and women.”

Trump Assassination Attempt: Police Release Bodycam From Deadly Butler Rally (VIDEO)

Police bodycam footage obtained by Fox News Digital on Thursday through a records request shows two officers attempting to intercept Thomas Matthew Crooks on a roof seconds before he allegedly tried to assassinate former President Trump at a campaign rally last month.

The footage is taken from two officers from the Butler Township Police Department who made a desperate attempt to stop Crooks moments before he fired his DPMS AR-15 rifle, striking Trump in the ear, killing Corey Comperatore and injuring two others.

“F—ing this close, bro. Dude, he turned around on me,” the officer who was hoisted can be heard saying later on in bodycam video released Thursday.

One officer can be seen hoisting another officer onto the roof where Crooks was stationed, which is about 12 feet above the ground.

Crooks pointed his weapon at the officer who scaled the building, before the officer ultimately ducks his head and loses his grip on the roof’s edge and falls about 8 feet to the ground, spraining his ankle, Butler Township Manager Thomas Knights previously told Fox News Digital.

Kamala Harris’s Detroit Rally Turns into a Chaotic Mess (VIDEO)

Kamala Harris’s rally in Detroit, Michigan, on Wednesday has been widely reported as a disaster, with thousands of attendees left stranded and chaos reigning supreme. The event, which was supposed to showcase Harris’s campaign energy and organization, instead ended in confusion and disarray.

Political scientist Josiah Lippincott, who was on the scene, described the aftermath as a scene of utter chaos. “Complete chaos after the Detroit Kamala rally. It has been 2.5 hours and people are still unable to find shuttles back to their cars. Campaign staff has no idea what is happening,” Lippincott tweeted. The rally was held near a UPS delivery center, leading to a mix-up with dozens of trucks complicating the shuttle service.

According to Lippincott, the situation was further exacerbated by confusion among campaign staff and a growing sense of frustration among rally-goers. “Tempers are high,” he added, highlighting the mounting frustration of those stuck without transportation.

The disorganization was so severe that a staff member reportedly broke down in tears. One of the distressed staffers even shared a troubling image on social media, illustrating the dangerous conditions faced during the debacle. “My bus was nearly in an accident,” the staffer posted, reflecting the chaotic state of the event.

Additional details reveal that the rally’s location was a major factor in the mess. Situated on a spur off the main road and surrounded by a jumble of freight trucks, the rally site proved challenging for buses and shuttles to navigate. “Add a bunch of freight trucks from UPS, confused campaign staff, and tired and hungry rally-goers, and you get complete chaos,” Lippincott explained in another tweet.

WATCH: Harris Dodges Trump’s Debate Challenges

Vice President Kamala Harris has made headlines this week for her conspicuous refusal to address former President Donald Trump’s invitation for multiple debates. Trump’s challenge, which proposed three separate debate dates across major networks—Fox News on September 4, NBC News on September 10, and ABC News on September 25—was met with Harris’s reluctance to commit beyond the September 10 date.

In a statement made in Wayne, Michigan, Harris confirmed her participation in the September 10 debate on NBC News, expressing eagerness to engage with Trump. “I am looking forward to debating Donald Trump and we have a date of September 10. I hear he’s finally committed to it and I’m looking forward to it,” she said. However, when pressed about the remaining debate invitations, Harris remained non-committal, avoiding any clarification on her stance regarding the other two proposed dates.

This evasion has not gone unnoticed. Throughout the week, Republicans have seized the opportunity to criticize Harris for what they perceive as a lack of transparency and engagement with the media. Former President Trump, in particular, did not hold back in his critiques. During a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, Trump took aim at Harris’s media handling skills. “Excuse me, what are we doing right now? She’s not doing any news conference … She doesn’t know how to do a news conference. She’s not smart enough to do a news conference,” Trump remarked, suggesting Harris’s reluctance to face unscripted media interactions reflects poorly on her readiness for public scrutiny.

In response to Trump’s comments, Harris indicated that she is working with her team to schedule an interview before the end of August, although the exact timing remains uncertain. “I’ve talked to my team. I want us to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month,” she said. Despite her commitment to addressing Trump’s challenge on September 10, Harris has yet to participate in an unscripted press conference since launching her presidential campaign 18 days ago.

Runway Standoff: Trump’s VP Pick Approaches Kamala Harris at Airport (VIDEO)

By Breitbart. Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (OH), unlike establishment media reporters, is unafraid to question Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris about her radical record and coup-turned-campaign.

Vance approached Air Force Two, which Harris was onboard, during a tense standoff on Tuesday in which the current and perhaps future vice president occupied the same Wisconsin runway.

“I just wanted to check out my future plane,” Vance said, Semafor reported.

Vance did not speak to Harris but said he “wanted to go say hello to the vice president and ask her why does she refuse to answer questions.”

Vance Trolls Harris at Air Force Two

By The Hill. Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) approached Air Force Two “to check out” the plane after both he and Vice President Harris landed at the same airport in Wisconsin.

When he told gathered press what he was doing, Vance also attacked Harris for not answering questions from the media.

“I figured that I would come by and get a good look at the plane because hopefully it’s going to be my plane in a few months,” Vance said in front of Air Force Two. “I also thought you guys may get lonely, because the VP doesn’t answer questions from reporters.”

Harris’s campaign responded to Vance approaching Air Force Two by calling it “weird.” (Read more from “Vance Trolls Harris at Air Force Two” HERE)

CNN Had to Correct Harris Surrogate on Air After Getting JD Vance’s​ Military Record Wildly Wrong

Senator Tina Smith (D-Minn.) had quite the misfire while talking about the military record of GOP vice presidential pick Senator JD Vance, prompting CNN host Jim Acosta to correct her while on air.

While discussing the criticisms the Democrats’ new pick for vice president, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, has received for quitting the National Guard right before his unit was deployed for combat in Iraq, Smith claimed Vance had never served in the military.

“Well, here is Tim Walz, who enlisted when he was 17 years old. He served in the National Guard for 24 years. And I’m not aware of any military service that JD Vance has ever served. So let’s just make the comparison there,” Smith said.

“Well, he was in the Marines,” Acosta interjected.

“OK, pardon me for that,” Smith replied.

WATCH: Walz Takes Just 8 Seconds to Show He Doesn’t Know the Constitution

Kamala Harris’ pick to be her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, used just eight seconds to reveal he doesn’t know the Constitution.

In a resurfaced video clip, since he was picked by Harris this week, he states, “There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech and especially around our democracy.” . . .

The Constitution and the court precedents it has inspired, in fact, do not allow for censorship of speech that someone considers “hate” or speech that someone considers “misinformation.”

Speech that is restricted is that which would threaten or inspire or call for violence. (Read more from ”

A large part of the problem is that leftists have demanded that it is their opinion about what constitutes hate speech or misinformation or disinformation or malinformation that must be the controlling standard, when in fact their definitions are nothing more than their own opinions about speech.
