DATA: 9/10 Say Biden ‘Too Old’ for 2nd Term.

Nearly 9 out of 10 Americans — 86 percent — believe that Joe Biden is too old to serve another term as President, according to a recent ABC News/Ipsos poll. Although 59 percent of those polled believed that both Biden and former President Donald Trump are too old to serve as President, more than a quarter — 27 percent — believed that just Biden is too old compared to only 3 percent who felt the same way about Trump.

The poll comes amidst increasing concerns about Biden’s mental state and cognitive abilities following a series of gaffes and a damning report by special counsel Robert Hur regarding the current President’s mishandling of classified documents. Hur, who decided not to prosecute Biden, described him as an “elderly man with a poor memory” and revealed that he could not remember when his son Beau died or when his terms as Vice President began or ended.

Earlier this month, Biden also claimed to have met with French President François Mitterrand of France, who died in 1996, at the G7 Summit. Days later, he claimed to have spoken with German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who died in 2017, at the same summit. Immediately following the release of Hur’s report, Biden confused the Mexican and Egyptian presidents.

WATCH: Trump-Hating Michael Rapaport Admits ‘I Was Wrong’ About Charlottesville ‘Fine People’ Hoax.

Actor and comedian Micahel Rapaport – a frequent, aggressive critic of former President Donald Trump – is now admitting he was wrong about Trump’s “fine people” remarks regarding the Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The 2017 demonstrations against the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee from a city park turned violent as protestors clashed, resulting in the death of a counter-demonstrator.

During a recent appearance on the PBD Podcast, Rapaport was pressed on whether media exaggerations regarding Trump had misled him and distorted his views of the former President. The actor and comedian admitted this was the case.

“That one thing, about Charlottesville, that I ranted about… I was wrong,” said Rapaport, explaining the media’s lack of context regarding Trump’s quote had misled him: “You know, he said ‘There’s good people on both sides’ and when you see the full quote, that wasn’t what he said.” Given the misleading reports, Rapaport went on to lament his rant against Trump.

What Trump Actually Said.

In the aftermath of Charlottesville, former President Trump repeatedly condemned the “egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence” that occurred during the demonstration. After being continually pressed by the media to condemn only the pro-Robert E. Lee statue demonstrators in the days following the violent protests, Trump responded: “You had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides… You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.”

The media was quick to spin the President’s remarks as a defense of not the peaceful protestors defending the Lee statue but of the extremist groups that joined the demonstrations. Left out of media reports were Trump’s words calling these groups and individuals “very bad people” and his repeated condemnation of their actions over the days prior.

In recent weeks, Rapaport has suggested he is open to voting for President Trump in November, reiterating his stance on the PBD Podcast.

Reports Suggest Houston Church Shooter is Pro-‘Palestine’, Transgender Migrant.

The perpetrator of an attempted mass shooting at Lakewood Church in Houston, TX on Sunday appears to be a pro-“Palestine”, transgender migrant. The shooter, identified as “female” Genesee Moreno, hailed from El Salvador but also went by the name “Jeffrey.” Reports indicate Moreno scrawled “Free Palestine” on his/her weapon and targeted the church for Pastor Joel Osteen’s pro-Israel views.

Shortly before 2 p.m. on Sunday, Moreno entered Osteen’s megachurch with a rifle and child in tow and opened fire. She injured one churchgoer before law enforcement officers intervened. Moreno was killed at the scene. The child she brought with her was injured in the gunfire.

Osteen is an outspoken Christian Zionist. He has expressed strong public support for Israel and its President, Benjamin Netanyahu, and interviewed the Israeli politician last year for his Sirius XM radio show.

Moreno is the latest in a string of transgender individuals involved in mass shootings.

On January 4, 17-year-old Dylan Butler, who appeared to identify as transgender, opened fire at Perry High School in Perry, Iowa. Five students and three staff members were shot. Two died. On March 23, 2023, transgender Audrey Hale opened fire at The Covenant School, a Presbyterian elementary school, in Nashville, TN. Six people died. In November 2022, Anderson Lee Aldrich, who identified as non-binary, killed five people at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In May 2019, transgender teenager Alec McKinney killed one person after opening fire in STEM School Highlands Ranch in Highlands Ranch, Colorado.

Ukraine Funding Bill Tries to Make Peace Illegal.

Provisions buried in the Ukraine supplemental funding bill would make it nearly impossible for a future president to pursue a peaceful resolution to the conflict without facing impeachment from Congress. U.S. Senator J.D. Vance is raising the alarm regarding the legislative text and its implications for a future Trump presidency should Trump pursue peace between Ukraine and Russia.

In a memo to colleagues, Vance warns of a buried impeachment trigger using the same obscure budget laws Democrats cited during President Trump’s 2019 impeachment. Contained in the supplemental funding bill, Vance notes, are appropriations totaling $1.6 billion for foreign military financing and $13.7 billion for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative — both budgeted into 2025. This would extend the funding into the first term of a possible second Trump administration. Should a future President Trump move to pause these funds to allow for a peace process to move forward, it could trigger a similar impeachment scenario Trump faced in 2019.

In 2019, the Republican President was accused by Congressional Democrats of ‘abuse of power’ and ‘obstruction of Congress’ for withholding aid that had been earmarked to be sent to Ukraine. Democrats argued former President Trump contravened the opinions of “career experts” — and the Impoundment Control Act — to pressure Ukraine’s political leadership to divulge information regarding their dealings with Joe Biden when he served as vice president. While the Democrats were successful in impeaching Trump in the House, the Senate declined to convict Trump.

Should former President Trump retake the White House and, as promised, pursue an end to the conflict in Eastern Europe, the cost of peace may very well be another attempt by Congressional Democrats to impeach him. “The supplemental represents an attempt by the foreign policy blob/deep state to stop President Trump from pursuing his desired policy, and if he does so anyways, to provide grounds to impeach him and undermine his administration,” Vance argues in his memo to colleagues, adding: “All Republicans should oppose its passage.”

RFK’s SuperPAC Spent $7 MILLION on A Super Bowl Ad.

The SuperPAC backing Robert Kennedy Jr.’s (RFK, Jr.) independent presidential bid drew mixed reactions after running a 30-second television spot during the Super Bowl. The advertisement — which the American Values 2024 SuperPAC said cost $7 million — used elements of a 1960 campaign spot run Kennedy’s his uncle, former President John F. Kennedy.

Borrowing visual and musical motifs from the John F. Kennedy campaign’s television spot, the RFK, Jr. advertisement featured images of the independent candidate’s testimony before Congress and his engaging in outdoor activities. The ad ended with the tagline: “Vote independent.”

When the campaign spot initially aired last night, Kennedy embraced the message, promoting its message on  X (formerly Twitter). “Our momentum is growing,” he wrote, adding: “It’s time for an Independent President to heal the divide in our country.”

However, just hours later, RFK, Jr. moved to distance himself from the SuperPAC’s Super Bowl spot. “I’m so sorry if the Super Bowl advertisement caused anyone in my family pain. The ad was created and aired by the American Values Super PAC without any involvement or approval from my campaign,” Kennedy posted on X (formerly Twitter). He continued: “FEC rules prohibit Super PACs from consulting with me or my staff. I love you all. God bless you.”

The Kennedy family has repeatedly criticized RFK, Jr.’s independent presidential bid, with the SuperPAC’s ad drawing renewed consternation. In October, several members of the Kennedy clan signed an open letter condemning RFK, Jr.’s campaign.

“My cousin’s Super Bowl ad used our uncle’s faces- and my Mother’s,” said Bobby Shriver – RFK, Jr.’s cousin – on X (formerly Twitter). “She would be appalled by his deadly health care views. Respect for science, vaccines, & health care equity were in her DNA. She strongly supported my health care work at @ONECampaign & @RED which he opposes.”

Trump Triggers Globalists… By Suggesting NATO Have MORE Resources!?

President Donald Trump has once again attracted the ire of globalists for daring to suggest this weekend that NATO member nations that are delinquent in their payments to the alliance should not get protection from the United States. Trump’s comments came during a campaign rally in South Carolina on Saturday.

“One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, ‘Well, sir, if we don’t pay and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us?’” Trump said. “I said, ‘You didn’t pay. You’re delinquent.’ He said, ‘Yes, let’s say that happened.’ No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.”

Trump has been a long-standing critic of NATO and, as President, worked to ensure that NATO members spent the 2 percent of GDP on defense required by membership in the organization. According to 2023 data, 19 of the 30 members of NATO are spending less than that.

“Any suggestion that allies will not defend each other undermines all of our security, including that of the U.S. and puts American and European soldiers at increased risk,” NATO Secretary General Jans Stoltenberg said in a written response. “I expect that regardless of who wins the presidential election, the U.S. will remain a strong and committed NATO ally.”

“Reckless statements on NATO’s security and Art 5 solidarity serve only Putin’s interest. They do not bring more security or peace to the world,” said Charles Michel, President of the European Council, in a statement on social media.

Some European leaders were less concerned, however. “I am not paid to be worried,” said Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics. “Europe must spend more on defense, on capabilities and ramp-up defense production regardless who wins in the U.S. It is in our vital interest.” Latvia is one of the few NATO members meeting its spending requirements.

‘Forever Chemicals’ in Tap Water Spread Cancer, Study Suggests.

Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, better known as PFAS or “forever chemicals,” appear to cause cancer to metastasize, according to a new, peer-reviewed study.

Forever chemicals are near-ubiquitous in non-stick cookware and other everyday household items and also present in specialized substances, including the foam used by firefighters — who are at a 21 percent greater risk of developing colorectal cancer than the general population.

Researchers at the Yale School of Public Health have now confirmed exposure to forever chemicals causes colorectal cancer cells cultured in Petri dishes to migrate to new locations, indicating they could also cause cancer cells in the body to spread.

Even in households where non-stick pans and other items made with PFAS are carefully avoided, almost half of U.S. tap water now contains forever chemicals, and they are detectable in the bodies of some 97 percent of Americans.

The multinational 3M Company agreed to a multi-billion-dollar settlement with various states and municipalities last year for its part in contaminating the country’s drinking water with forever chemicals.

Democrat D.C. Sees More 911 Calls Than Any U.S. State.

Democrat-run Washington D.C. receives more 911 calls than any U.S. state, according to research by the Schiller Kessler Group (SKG). Examining the number of emergency calls from the District from 2019 to 2021, the attorneys estimated an average of 2,012 calls per 1,000 residents.

This places the U.S. capital a remarkable 72 percent ahead of the worst-rated U.S. state, New Mexico, which saw an average of 1,169 emergency calls per 1,000 residents.

While SKG did not analyze calls from 2022 to 2023, serious crime in D.C. worsened substantially last year, with homicides increasing by 35 percent to 274 and shootings increasing by 10 percent to 960. Over a hundred of the shooting victims were minors, including two slain infants.

Carjackings were also a growing issue, continuing into 2024. A recent carjacking spree saw two people murdered, including former Donald Trump administration official Mike Gill.

Washington D.C. is governed by Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, and a City Council comprised entirely of Democrats and former Democrats sitting as independents.

VA Dems Want to Incentivize Illegal Immigration by Giving Migrant Minors Free Healthcare.

Virginia Democrats are pushing legislation extending “state-funded comprehensive health care coverage” to illegal aliens under 19 years of age who are not already covered by a health plan or insurance.

The so-called ‘Cover All Kids’ bill, complains Republican State Senator Glen Sturtevant, will “undermine legal immigration and incentivize illegal immigration,” coming alongside similar proposals to “grant illegal immigrants driver’s licenses.” He estimated the cost to Virginia taxpayers from the healthcare bill at over $100 million.

“These bad policies jeopardize not just Virginia’s healthcare system but create perverse incentives that illegal immigrants will see as a green light to travel to Virginia for free schooling, driver’s licenses, and now, free healthcare,” Sturtevant warned, comparing the Democrat agenda to the “sanctuary” policies which have seen cities like New York and Chicago become magnets for illegal aliens, incurring huge costs.

Similar “perverse incentives” have been seen in Massachusetts, where state ‘right to shelter’ laws have seen migrants crowd into hotels across the country at taxpayers’ expense. Whistleblowers say the scheme is running up enormous costs, with the migrants given “free diapers, wipes, toiletries, free tablets and phones, free English lessons, state caseworkers making sure all entitlements are taken, free Uber and Lyft rides, [and] free bus passes,” among a host of other benefits.

They are also said to be eating up first responder resources, with police and firefighters attending migrant hotels to deal with “fights, guns, drugs, [and] overdoses” on a daily basis.

Bill Maher Won’t Air Kanye Interview For Fear of Spreading ‘Idea That Jews Are The Worst People in the World.’

Bill Maher conducted a two-hour interview with rapper Kanye West but will not air it as he is afraid it will spread the “idea that Israel and the Jews are like [sic] the worst people in the world.”

“I had Kanye right here at Club Random, we did an episode with him. I thought it was going to be a learning moment. I mean, we were here for two hours. By the way, we had an amazing, fun time. He’s a very charming anti-Semite,” Maher said in an interview with TMZ on Monday.

“The problem, I think, is that he appeals mostly — of course, he’s a rock star — to young people. They don’t know much and they surely don’t know much about the Middle East or Jews,” Maher said. “So the combination of, you know, Kanye out there — I feel like he sort of like was helpful for spreading the fertilizer, and I do mean fertilizer, for this idea that Israel and the Jews are like the worst people in the world,” he continued, adding: “And by the way, he’s not the only one in America who feels that way. It’s not like the Jews are universally loved except for Kanye West, okay?… That’s why I wouldn’t air that episode. Because I’m not going to contribute to this.”

West has faced continued accusations of anti-Semitism after a series of controversial remarks about Jews in 2022 and 2023 and a 2023 interview with Alex Jones in which the rapper praised Adolf Hitler.
