How the World Reacted to Biden’s ‘Big Boy’ Presser.

Global media and leaders have not been to Joe Biden in their assessment of his “big boy” press conference at the NATO summit in Washington, D.C., with many arguing he should exit the presidential race.

Britain’s Economist magazine, which recently called for Biden to drop out, ran with the ambivalent headline, ‘Biden survives his “big boy” press conference.’

The Telegraph argued that Biden’s gaffes throughout the summit “ruined” months of hard work by European diplomats and undermined the entire event.

Similarly, The Daily Mail ran with, ‘Biden flubs lines, meanders and makes excruciating gaffe in “big boy” press conference that leaves his reelection bid on life support.’

Italy’s Il Giornale noted how Biden had introduced Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky with the words, “Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin.”

Germany’s Bild newspaper, the largest in the country, questioned Biden’s behavior with the headline, ‘Are these slips of the tongue or is it old age?’

In Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald ran with the headline, ‘Shaky answers and gaffes: Biden’s latest showing won’t stem the bleeding.’ New Zealand’s NZ Herald also called the presser “gaffe-prone.”

One of the biggest gaffes of the presser saw Biden refer to Vice President Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump.”

Trump-Appointed Judge Blocks Biden’s Title IX Transgender Rule in Texas.

U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, nominated to the bench by former President Donald J. Trump in 2017, is granting Texas an injunction against Joe Biden government regulations that would grant anti-discrimination protections to “gender identity.” In his ruling, Judge Kacsmaryk wrote that the rule likely violates protections already on the books for biological women. Under the new rules, biological males would be allowed to access facilities designated only for use by biological females.

The Biden government regulations, which expand protected classes under Title IX to include “sex stereotypes, sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics,” will come into effect on August 1. However, a number of state governments are successfully convincing federal judges to grant injunctions against the measure. Texas is the 15th state to block the rule from taking effect pending legal challenges.

Judge Kacsmaryk noted that the rule directly undermines the purpose of Title IX, which was to enact nondiscrimination protections for women. “The Final Rule inverts the text, history, and tradition of Title IX: the statute protects women in spaces historically reserved to men; the Final Rule inserts men into spaces reserved to women,” he wrote, adding: “The Final Rule reads sexual orientation and gender identity into Title IX’s antidiscrimination principle in violation of that statute.”

Additionally, the Trump-appointed judge noted that Biden government measure was also in contravention of Texas state law, which “protects sex separation in K–12 and higher education athletic programs.”

Biden’s DOJ Backs Down From J6 Charges.

Joe Biden‘s Department of Justice (DOJ) has dropped the obstruction of an official proceeding charge against the first January 6 defendant following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Fischer v. United States. Last month, the high court ruled against the Biden DOJ, determining the department unlawfully used an obstruction statute from a 2002 financial crimes bill to prosecute over 350 of the January 6 defendants.

Late Thursday, federal prosecutors submitted a motion to drop the obstruction charge in their case against January 6 defendant Mark Sahady.

In their filing, federal prosecutors contend that the court’s rejection of a continuance to assess the impact of the Fischer decision made dropping the obstruction charge the most expedient option to move Sahady’s trial forward. The defendant, a resident of Massachusetts, will still face charges of unlawful entry, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.

The Biden DOJ attorneys likely understood that any attempts to revive the obstruction charge through other avenues would not sit well with U.S. District Court Judge Carl Nichols.

The Fischer case originated with Judge Nichols. In March 2022, Nichols ruled in January 6 defendant Joseph W. Fischer’s favor, dismissing the obstruction charge against three of the January 6 defendants. The federal D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed Nichols’s ruling in a 2-1 decision in April 2023—setting up the Supreme Court showdown.

The National Pulse reported in March that the judge granted early release to January 6 defendant Kevin Seefried after the Supreme Court agreed to hear Fischer.

Zelensky Joins Those Questioning Biden’s Health.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has received billions of dollars from the Joe Biden regime, is raising concerns about the elderly Democrat’s health following his poor presidential debate performance against former president Donald J. Trump.

Zelensky, who is in Washington, D.C., for a key NATO summit focused on Ukraine, is “among the leaders who watched the presidential debate and is concerned about the situation,” according to a Ukrainian source who spoke to Axios.

Biden introduced the Ukrainian leader as “President Putin” at the summit.

An anonymous European diplomat shared with Axios that summit attendees are keen to ascertain Biden’s current condition. “People are coming [to the NATO summit] to witness whether Biden is or is no longer [in charge],” the diplomat noted.

Bloomberg reported that European countries are holding discreet meetings with individuals affiliated with Trump, signaling decreased confidence in Biden’s reelection prospects.

The delegations seek insights on a potential Trump administration and its implications for international alliances. Delegates have reportedly interacted with former Trump officials and prominent Republicans.

Earlier in the NATO summit, several ministers from the Baltic states seemed to hint that they were expecting a second Trump term following November’s election.

Zelensky’s remarks also follow another report from the NATO summit claiming that Biden was unable to recognize attendees he has known for a long time.

Many Democrat politicians, media outlets, and others have outright called for Biden to exit the presidential race due to his frailty and mental state.

A recent survey indicates that 51 percent of Americans support removing Biden from the White House, with 41 percent of people who voted for Biden in 2020 agreeing that the 25th Amendment should be invoked against him.

Ohio City Grapples with Housing Crisis Caused by Migrant Influx.

City officials in Springfield, Ohio, are voicing concerns over the local housing crisis, exacerbated by a rise in the number of illegal immigrants who have flooded the locality under Joe Biden. City Manager Bryan Heck has reached out to U.S. Senators Tim Scott (R-SC) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) for federal assistance as the situation continues to strain resources.

Sen. Brown is the chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. Tim Scott is the committee’s ranking Republican member.

Heck mentioned in his letter that the population surge, mainly driven by illegal immigration, has overwhelmed Springfield’s capacity to provide adequate housing. “Springfield’s Haitian population has increased to 15,000 – 20,000 over the last four years in a community of just under 60,000 previous residents,” Heck wrote. This significant growth is challenging the city’s ability to meet its residents’ housing demands.

During a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Tuesday, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) highlighted this issue by presenting Heck’s letter. Vance pointed out that Springfield’s struggle to build 5,000 new housing units, a considerable effort for a town of approximately 55,000 people, is compounded by additional pressures on hospital and school services. “This immigration problem,” Vance stated, “is having very real human consequences.”

Since January 2021, an estimated 16.8 million illegal immigrants have entered the United States, originating from over 150 countries. This influx is contributing to housing shortages and elevated costs nationwide.

Springfield’s plea for federal aid underscores the broader challenges faced by communities distant from border areas, often left dealing with the unexpected demands of increased illegal immigration.

Biden Campaign Demanded Milwaukee Radio Station Edit Post-Debate Interview.

Joe Biden’s re-election campaign demanded Civic Media’s Milwaukee-based progressive radio host Earl Ingram edit his interview with the 81-year-old Democrat before it aired. The radio network insists the edits to the interview, recorded on July 3 and aired on July 4, were non-substantive, but acknowledges they complied with the Biden campaign’s demand.

“On Monday, July 8th, it was reported to Civic Media management that immediately after the phone interview was recorded, the Biden campaign called and asked for two edits to the recording before it aired,” the radio station said in a statement on Thursday. “Civic Media management immediately undertook an investigation and determined that the production team at the time viewed the edits as non-substantive and broadcast and published the interview with two short segments removed.”

In response to the revelation regarding the edited interview, Civic Media stated they would make the entire, unedited conversation with Biden available online. According to the station, Biden cut two comments from the aired interview, which occurred at 5:20 and 14:15 minutes, respectively.

The first edit removed a claim by Biden regarding diversity in his government. Biden said: “…and in addition to that, I have more Blacks in my administration than any other president, all other presidents combined, and in major positions, cabinet positions.”

In the second edit, Biden incoherently references former President Donald J. Trump‘s remarks regarding the Central Park Five. “I don’t know if they even call for their hanging or not, but he–but they said […] convicted of murder,” the octogenarian Democrat babbles.

The National Pulse reported on Monday that Pennsylvania talk radio host Andrea Lawful-Sanders was fired by her station after it was revealed she used Biden campaign-provided questions for his post-debate interview.

Senate Rejects Biden Judge Who Put Trans Child Rapist in Women’s Prison.

The U.S. Senate has rejected its first judicial nominee since Joe Biden took office. On Thursday, Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn’s nomination to the U.S. District Court bench failed to make it out of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Netburn’s nomination was opposed by Republican senators who found her decision to place a transgender child rapist in a women’s prison facility, despite warnings against the move by the Bureau of Prisons, to be disqualifying. The transgender convict subsequently exposed his male genitals to numerous women in the facility.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), a vocal opponent of the judge‘s nomination, highlighted the incident along with others where Netburn put female inmates at risk, seemingly in an effort to push a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda in sentencing.

“Every one of us, every one of us would be horrified if a loved one found out she was the cellmate of a six-foot-two man who was a serial rapist,” Sen. Cruz said.

Meanwhile, Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) broke with his fellow Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, siding with Republicans in the 10-11 vote to block the advancement of Netburn’s nomination to a lifetime appointment as a federal district court judge.

Transgender inmates in other women’s prisons have sexually assaulted female prisoners and even impregnated them. An inmate at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in New Jersey filed a lawsuit last year alleging that guards had refused to take corrective action against a transgender prisoner who had sexually assaulted her.

Biden Introduces Zelensky as ‘President Putin,’ Calls Harris ‘Vice President Trump.’

Joe Biden gaffed repeatedly at the NATO summit, introducing Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky as “the President of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination, President Putin.” Elsewhere, he said he “wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be Vice President did I think she was not qualified to be President.”

Footage of Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other senior officials in the Biden government while the 81-year-old was making the “Vice President Trump” gaffe shows them visibly cringing and looking at the ground.

Posts by Harris on social media critical of Trump are receiving a chorus of facetious praise thanking her as “Vice President Trump,” alongside admonishments for “disrespecting our VP.”

Members of the press asked Biden directly about the fact he had named Trump as Vice President, saying, “Right now, Donald Trump is using that to mock your age and your memory; how do you combat that criticism from tonight?”

“Listen to him,” Biden replied, perhaps unhelpfully.

Democrat lawmakers and Democrat-supporting media are increasingly pressing Biden to exit the presidential race. Reports indicate Nancy Pelosi, the influential former House Speaker, has instructed many lawmakers poised to go public with their complaints about Biden once the NATO summit is over and foreign leaders have gone home.

While she has denied this, she is declining to back Biden’s reelection bid, saying it is “up to the President to decide if he is going to run,” adding: “We’re all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short”—despite the fact he has already stated clearly that he does want to run.

BREAKING: Ranking House Dem on Intel Committee Tells Biden to ‘Step Away from Campaign.’

Ranking House Intelligence Committee Democrat Representative Jim Himes (CT) has called on President Joe Biden to “step away” from his presidential campaign in remarks released immediately after the 46th President’s post-NATO conference presser on Thursday evening.

Himes, who has been reported to have privately urged Biden to step away from the campaign, went public with his thoughts, stating, “President Joe Biden is a remarkable leader of unparalleled public service, undeniable achievement, and unconditional patriotism.

“His administration created historic job growth and put people over politics by cutting healthcare costs, passing gun safety reforms, rebuilding our infrastructure, and restoring a brutally divided nation’s sense of decency. It has been the honor of my career to work with him on the achievements that secured his remarkable legacy in American history.

It is because of those traits, and in consideration of that legacy, that I hope President Biden will step away from the presidential campaign.

“The 2024 election will define the future of American democracy, and we must put forth the strongest candidate possible to confront the threat posed by Trump’s promised MAGA authoritarianism. I no longer believe that is Joe Biden, and I hope that, as he has throughout a lifetime of public service, he will continue to put our nation first and, as he promised, make way for a new generation of leaders.”

British Military Chief Warns Third World War ‘Probable’ in the Next Five Years.

General Sir Patrick Sanders, Chief of the General Staff of the British armed forces until June, claims Russia, China, and Iran are “the new Axis powers,” and arguably more of a threat than the Second World War alliance of Germany, Italy, Japan, and others.

“They are more interdependent and more aligned than the original Axis powers were,” he argues, claiming a Third World War is probable if Britain and the West more generally do not expand their militaries and military production capacity within the next few years.

“Most estimates will tell you that we’ve got somewhere between five and 10 years before Russia recapitalizes and is able to pose the sort of threat that it did before the Ukraine war,” he said.

Reflecting on British military capabilities, Sir Patrick expressed concerns about his country’s readiness to undertake large-scale operations, saying it is no longer capable of fighting a conflict like the Falklands War.

Previously, Sir Patrick said Britain is now in a “pre-war” phase. The Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, is using the same language, telling the press, “I know it sounds devastating, especially to people of the younger generation, but we have to mentally get used to a new era. We are in a pre-war era. I don’t exaggerate. This is becoming more and more apparent every day.”

The National Pulse reported earlier this year that Russian shell manufacturers are currently outproducing the U.S. and Europe by a factor of three to one.

Meanwhile, expensive high-tech weaponry sent to Ukraine by the U.S. and its allies is fast becoming obsolete due to Russian jamming technology.
