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.”

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.

Less than 25 percent of registered U.S. voters think Joe Biden is mentally sharp. Pew Research data shows a steady and significant decline in voter confidence in Biden’s cognitive abilities since he took office in 2021. The survey of American voters is likely to reinforce concerns among Democrat lawmakers that Biden’s presidential re-election campaign is unsalvagable.
According to the data, in 2021, just over half of registered voters said they believed Biden was mentally sharp enough to serve as president. However, over the past three years, that number has taken a steady dive. Just a year into the 81-year-old Democrat’s presidency, confidence in Biden’s mental sharpness had fallen to around 40 percent. By 2023, just a third of registered voters said Biden was mentally sharp. Today, that number sits at less than one-quarter.
Meanwhile, perceptions of former President Donald J. Trump‘s mental acuity have risen. In 2021, half of registered voters saw Trump as being mentally sharp. Today, that number sits at nearly 60 percent.
While Biden‘s advanced age—and cognitive weakness—have been a voter concern for some time, the issue has been pushed to the forefront of the 2024 presidential election following the Democrat’s disastrous June 27 debate performance. Over the 90-minute showdown against former President Trump, Biden appeared incoherent and mentally impaired—raising concerns that he is suffering from severe cognitive decline.
The National Pulse reported on Saturday that White House visitor logs have revealed a multitude of meetings between Biden’s personal physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, and Dr. Kevin Cannard, a Parkinson’s and deep brain disorder specialist, since July 2023.
Earlier on Thursday, a separate poll indicated over half of Americans believe the executive branch officials and Vice President Kamala Harris should use the 25th Amendment to remove Biden from office.

Former President Donald J. Trump has announced plans to prosecute individuals engaging in election fraud, suggesting billionaire Mark Zuckerberg should be cautious given his past election interference. Trump’s message was posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, on Tuesday, where he pledged unprecedented action against illegal election manipulation.
“All I can say is that if I’m elected President, we will pursue Election Fraudsters at levels never seen before, and they will be sent to prison for long periods of time,” Trump said in his post. He added: “We already know who you are. DON’T DO IT! ZUCKERBUCKS, be careful!”
Trump’s post was ostensibly in support of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which mandates proof of citizenship for voting in federal elections. This follows an earlier Truth Social post in February 2023, where Trump accused Zuckerberg of cheating in the election, citing a report that noted an investigation into Zuckerberg’s $2 million donation to a Georgia election board.
Zuckerberg has continuously weaponized his companies against former President Trump and Republican candidates. The National Pulse reported shortly before the June 27 presidential debate that Zuckerberg’s Instagram was limiting users’ exposure to “political content.” Instagram had already imposed a requirement to “opt-in” to seeing political content, described in the app as content “likely to mention governments, elections or social topics that affect a group of people and/or society at large,” from users they do not follow.
The Facebook founder’s Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) pours vast sums of ‘Zuckerbucks’ into what are supposed to be improved voter access initiatives, such as new absentee ballot drop boxes. However, the schemes overwhelmingly benefit Democratic-leaning areas, with election integrity groups arguing they grant leftists greater voting access than conservatives and are, therefore, unlawful.

Former President Donald J. Trump has endorsed Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL)’s resolution to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in inherent contempt. Garland has rebuffed multiple requests from House Republicans to surrender audio recordings of Joe Biden‘s two interviews with the Department of Justice (DOJ) special counsel Robert Hur.
“I AGREE with Anna Paulina Luna and the many House Members who think Merrick Garland should be held in INHERENT CONTEMPT for refusing to release the Biden Tapes even though they were subpoenaed,” former President Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “The House Republicans should also subpoena Deranged Jack Smith and look into his ILLEGAL INVESTIGATION of me immediately. And they should pass the SAVE ACT immediately to stop illegals from voting in our elections. Republicans MUST GET TOUGH about stopping weaponization and cheating!”
Rep. Luna is pushing forward with her inherent contempt resolution this week. If passed, the measure would fine Garland $10,000 each day he does not hand the audio recordings over to Congress. The Florida Republican has amended the resolution language from her original draft, which would have directed the House Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest Garland and hold him until he produced the recordings.
In early June, the Attorney General was held in contempt of Congress after refusing to hand over audio recordings of 81-year-old Joe Biden‘s interview sessions with DOJ special counsel Robert Hur. Before the vote, Garland acknowledged that the transcripts of the interviews had been edited for clarity, raising the question of whether evidence of Biden’s cognitive decline had been altered.

Nevada’s Latino voters comprise nearly 20 percent of the crucial swing state’s electorate, making them an essential demographic for any presidential campaign wanting to win the state this November. For Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, however, concerns over the economy, illegalimmigration, inflation, and Biden’s health have seen their support among the state’s Latino voters plummet.
Speaking with The Washington Post, Nevada‘s Latino and Hispanic voters aired their frustrations with Biden and the Democratic Party. They expressed frustration with the cost of everyday goods, job competition with illegalimmigrants, public safety, and disillusionment that Biden will fulfill his campaign promises.
“I’m an immigrant, and I see that Democrats have been promising us immigration reform for years, and at the end of the day, we’re being ignored,” David Mungia, who works at a Nevada hospital, said in an interview. He added: “I want someone to earn my vote. Right now, I think Trump could offer us more than Biden.”
While some Democrats are looking to replace Biden with Harris at the top of the presidential ticket following the incumbent’s disastrous June 27 debate performance, she also struggles to appeal to Nevada’s Latinos. “I support us girls, and I would love to see a woman run the country, but I don’t think it’s gonna happen,” said Isabella Bello, a 21-year-old nursing student who revealed she’s voting for former President Donald J. Trump.
“She’s been on [Biden’s] side all this time and nothing was done on her side either as vice president. I think people want change for our country, and she isn’t that,” Bello added.
Recent polling has shown nearly two-thirds of Latinos support Trump’s plan to deport illegal aliens. Meanwhile, data shows that Latino and Hispanic voters overwhelmingly disapprove of Biden‘s handling of the U.S. border crisis.

On the first day of the NATO Summit in Washington, D.C., defense ministers from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania signaled their preparedness to engage with former President Donald J. Trump—likely anticipating his return to the White House after November’s presidential election. Advocating strongly for NATO during a panel hosted by POLITICO and Die Welt, the Baltic defense officials deployed rhetoric resonating with the America First leader’s previous critiques of defense spending within the alliance.
“NATO is a club. When you have club rules, then you respect the rules and you expect that everyone will also respect the rules,” said Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur, with POLITICO noting the remarks were “clearly aimed at the golf-loving former president.”
“When you pay your fee in the golf club, you can play. It doesn’t matter how big is your wallet,” Pevkur added.
The ministers also highlighted increased American engagement with NATO during Trump’s first term and said they are not afraid of his reelection.
The National Pulse reported in June that a record number of alliance members are now meeting their commitments. In office, Trump put significant pressure on NATO members to increase their defense spending.
Earlier this year, Trump told Brexit leader Nigel Farage that he would be there for NATO members if they “play fair.”
He has also revealed how he motivated “delinquent” governments in NATO to meet their defense targets by warning he would not rush to protect alliance members “taking advantage” of America by relying on American military protection while neglecting their own spending obligations.
The Baltic ministers’ statements come as voters, U.S. lawmakers, and foreign diplomats are raising concerns regarding 81-year-old Joe Biden‘s cognitive decline and inability to fulfill the duties of office.

The draft 2024 Republican Party platform was presented Monday to delegates on the convention‘s platform committee ahead of a final vote on adoption in Milwaukee next week. Entitled ‘America First: A Return to Common Sense,’ the document outlines several core elements of former President Donald J. Trump‘s agenda should he retake the White House in November’s presidential election. Border security, the deportation of illegalimmigrants, ending the weaponization of the Department of Justice (DOJ), the protection of Social Security, fair trade, and election integrity are among the most prominent issues mentioned in the draft.
“Today we must once again call upon the same American Spirit that led us to prevail through every challenge of the past if we are going to lead our Nation to a brighter future,” the draft platform preamble reads. Striking Trump‘s trademark America First tone, it continues, laying out the former President’s “common sense” solutions to the border crisis, U.S. national security, inflation, and crime—among other issues.
AN AMERICA FIRST ECONOMY.
The draft platform offers a marked change from the globalist policies of the Republican Party of old. “Common Sense tells us clearly that if we don’t have Domestic Manufacturing with low Inflation, not only will our Economy—and even our Military Equipment and Supplies—be at the mercy of Foreign Nations, but our Towns, Communities, and People cannot thrive,” it states, adding: “Republican Party must return to its roots as the Party of Industry, Manufacturing, Infrastructure, and Workers.”
Addressing American energy, the draft document echoes Trump‘s calls to “unleash American Energy” as part of an effort to reduce inflation and ensure the nation’s energy independence.
Additionally, the platform’s pro-energy and pro-worker tone will likely help bolster Trump’s growing support among union households—a voter demographic the campaign sees as crucial to its victory in November. The National Pulse reported in June that Sean O’Brien, the president of the Teamsters Union, has accepted Trump‘s invitation to address the convention.
BORDER SECURITY.
Likewise, the draft document heavily focuses on border security and immigration. It reiterates former President Trump‘s words: “If we don’t have a Border, we don’t have a Country.” The platform states that the Trump White House will complete the border wall and enact enhanced screening of immigrants entering the United States through other avenues.
Notably, the platform reinforces Trump‘s call to tackle the unprecedented number of illegalimmigrants who have entered the country under Joe Biden through sweeping deportations—supported by a majority of Americans. ” We will start by prioritizing the most dangerous criminals and working with local Police,” the document reads before continuing: “We must not allow Biden’s Migrant Invasion to alter our Country.”
CRYPTOCURRENCY.
A Republican platform first, the draft addresses emergent technologies like cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. “Republicans will end Democrats’ unlawful and unAmerican Crypto crackdown and oppose the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency,” the document states. It adds: “We will defend the right to mine Bitcoin, and ensure every American has the right to self-custody of their Digital Assets, and transact free from Government Surveillance and Control.”
Additionally, on the subject of artificial intelligence, the draft signals the intent for America to compete on the global stage—seeing the technology as a national security issue and not just an economic one. “We will repeal Joe Biden’s dangerous Executive Order that hinders AI Innovation, and imposes Radical Leftwing ideas on the development of this technology,” the platform reads, continuing: “In its place, Republicans support AI Development rooted in Free Speech and Human Flourishing.”
THE GOP IS STILL PRO-LIFE.
Lastly, while the platform did undergo some changes in the wake of the repeal of Roe v. Wade, the draft document reiterates the Republican commitment to the pro-life cause. “We proudly stand for families and Life,” the pro-life plank begins. “We believe that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees that no person can be denied Life or Liberty without Due Process, and that the States are, therefore, free to pass Laws protecting those Rights.”
“We will oppose Late Term Abortion, while supporting mothers and policies that advance Prenatal Care, access to Birth Control, and IVF (fertility treatments),” the platform draft concludes.

New election data shows independent voters breaking for former President Donald J. Trump after the 81-year-old incumbent Joe Biden’s disastrousdebateperformance on June 27—and the subsequent calls by leading Democrats that he drop out of the 2024 presidential race. The polling by Emerson College shows Trump leading among independents with 42 percent of the vote, compared to Biden’s 38 percent. This is an inversion from last month when Biden led 43 percent to Trump’s 41 percent.
In addition, Biden‘s impaireddebate performance appears to be dampening Democrat enthusiasm ahead of November’s election. Nearly 80 percent of Republican respondents said they were extremely motivated to vote. Meanwhile, just 65 percent of Democrats and 63 percent of independent voters said the same.
The Emerson poll is one of the most stark data points showing the impact that Biden‘s public display of cognitive impairment has had on his campaign. In the wake of the June 27 debate, several leading Democratic lawmakers have pushed for Biden to step aside, ostensibly making Kamala Harris the nominee. However, the data shows former President Trump handily defeating Harris with 49 percent of the vote to the Vice President’s 43 percent.
In fact, should the Democrats force Biden out of the race, none of his potential replacements fare as well as the octogenarian Democrat, who currently trails Trump by three points. Trump would defeat Hillary Clinton in a rematch 48 percent to 41 percent. Meanwhile, Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) only musters 40 percent to Trump’s 48 percent. Likewise, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer— floated among top Democrats as their preferred choice to replace Biden—would go down in defeat to Trump by a 10-point margin.

Hollywood liberal Whoopi Goldberg is digging in on her support for Joe Biden, despite ongoing public revelations regarding his cognitive decline and efforts to hide details regarding his health from the American people. During ABC‘s Monday airing of The View, Goldberg doubled down on the 81-year-old as her choice for the 2024 Democrat presidential nominee.
“I don’t care if [Biden] pooped his pants. I don’t care if he can’t put a sentence together. Show me he can’t do the job, and then I’ll say, okay, maybe it’s time to go,” Goldberg, whose actual name is Caryn Elaine Johnson, told her cohosts. At this point, however, the 68-year-old’s defense of Biden became a bit too personal: “I have poopy days all of the time. All the time. I step in so much poo you can’t even imagine.”
“Now, I’m not running the world, but I don’t know anybody who doesn’t step in stuff at some point,” Goldberg added.
Following the disastrous June 27 presidential debate against former President Donald J. Trump—where Biden appeared cognitively impaired and unable to respond to moderator questions—Democrat calls for Biden to step aside as the party’s nominee have intensified. Polling data increasingly shows Biden losing to Trump in an electoral landslide, and voters increasingly say the 81-year-old’s cognitive health is a top concern.
Democratic Party leaders, along with major donors, are pushing for a new nominee to take the reins of the party ahead of August’s Democratic National Convention. However, for Goldberg, that timeline is too early. “If he can’t do what he needs to do for the second debate, I’ll join any crew that says get rid of him,” she said.
The second presidential debate is set to be held on September 10, just 56 days before the election.
