The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has submitted a request to bar the Jewish state from participating in the Olympics, citing discredited death statistics from the Hamas Health Ministry and false claims of genocide taking place in Gaza. FYI: CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice […]

Democracy is dead, long live democracy. The post Biden Drops Out appeared first on Frontpage Mag.

Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race. NBC News claimed it was a reckoning over his age when it was clearly his mental frailty. Now, he must drop out as president. However, he has no interest in dropping out before his term ends. He will address the nation later this week. He falsely believes […] The post Joe Biden Dropped Out After Five Decades as a Political Hack appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Eric Trump said on Sunday that Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle should resign after the attempted assassination of his father, former President Donald Trump, at a rally last weekend. The younger Trump explained his position during an interview on Fox News as Cheatle faces a crisis of confidence in her leadership following the security failure at the campaign event in Pennsylvania. “The director of the Secret Service should resign in absolute disgrace,” Eric Trump told “Sunday Morning Futures” anchor Maria Bartiromo. Eric Trump accused Cheatle of lying to the America people and suggested her boss, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, is trying to obstruct a congressional inquiry into the attack. One particular claim Eric Trump dismissed was Cheatle’s assertion that the Secret Service did not place a unit on the rooftop where the shooter opened fire because it was sloped. Emphasizing how relatively flat the roof seems to be, he said, “If there was any less grade on that roof, you would have birdbaths on the top of it, right?” He added, “I don’t want to hear this, that the Secret Service sniper — and I know many of them, and they are the most in-shape, phenomenal people … couldn’t navigate that roof.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Questions have been raised about how a shooter, identified as a 20-year-old Pennsylvania man named Thomas Matthew Crooks, managed to get onto a nearby rooftop and begin shooting. President Trump survived, but a bullet ripped through his right year. One rally-goer was killed and two others were injured. The shooter was killed by a Secret Service sniper. Multipole investigations are underway, including the wide-ranging inquiry in the GOP-led House, which has a hearing with Cheatle scheduled for Monday. A lack of accountability following the shooting and letting Cheatle remain in her job “shows how disgraceful and inept” the Biden administration is, Eric Trump said. “She should be out of a job,” he said. “They should put somebody in there that’s competent. The reality is, I don’t care. This is not a political issue. There’s no politics involved in this issue.” Eric Trump said a former president getting shot is a “sign to the entire world of the weakness of America when something like this happens, and, God forbid, worse happened.” Despite his criticism of Cheatle, Eric Trump made room to praise the Secret Service agents who rushed in to protect his father, saying they “did their job, and they did it incredibly well.”

President Joe Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday to be the Democrat Party’s new presidential nominee after he announced that he was ending his reelection campaign. “My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden said. “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.” My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best… pic.twitter.com/x8DnvuImJV — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 21, 2024 Biden’s endorsement came less than 30 minutes after he announced in a letter to the public that he was ending his campaign, bowing to pressure from high-ranking Democrats and media figures who feared he would be unable to defeat former President Donald Trump. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden said. He said that he would address the nation later this week about his decision.

President Joe Biden has ended his re-election bid, jump starting a process by which the Democratic Party is faced with choosing a replacement to head their presidential ticket. With a growing number of Democrats pressing the 81-year-old Biden to step aside after his fumbling debate performance late last month spurred unease about his apparent decline and electability, the president announced on Sunday that he would be dropping out of the 2024 race and focusing on completing the remainder of his term. Soon afterward, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the presidential nominee for the Democratic Party, however, she may not ultimately get the nod. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) had been set to formally nominate Biden, who already won enough delegates to become the presumptive nominee, with a virtual roll call vote in August before the party’s convention in Chicago during the latter half of the month. NBC News published a flowchart last week outlining possible scenarios of what could happen next. With Biden willingly stepping aside before getting the nomination, more than 3,900 pledged delegates may have the first crack at picking Biden’s replacement in an initial ballot. One candidate would emerge victorious if this person receives a majority. But, if no one secures a majority on the first ballot, then the more than 700 “superdelegates” are permitted to join in the voting. More ballots would follow until someone wins a majority. The flowchart further showed what it would take for Biden to be replaced if he had already received the nomination: Democratic Party rules dictate that the president would either have to resign, die, or suffer a “disability” as decided by the DNC. In such a situation, the chair of the DNC would meet with Democrat leaders in Congress and in the Democratic Governors Association to recommend a replacement. After that, the full DNC would vote on selecting a nominee. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP One point of caution made by NBC News was that the DNC could vote to change its rules governing how a replacement candidate is picked. There is also the question of what happens to Biden’s $91 million campaign war chest. As reported by The New York Times, Harris would have pretty seamless access to the money if given the nomination because she was Biden’s running mate. Another pick would create a messier situation that could entail refunds or transfers to outside groups. Yet another issue that could befall Democrats is ballot access. Experts told The Washington Post that replacing Biden on the ballot if he dropped out before the nomination would be a relatively easy process, but if it happened afterwards, it would open up the possibility of legal challenges to keep the new ticket off the ballot. Speculation has already begun in regards to who Harris might pick as her running mate, with Governors Andy Beshear (D-KY), Roy Cooper (D-NC), and Josh Shapiro (D-PA) among those being discussed. Other high-profile members of the party could jump into the race and get the nod instead of Harris. Some other Democrats who are often talked about as potential successors to Biden include Governors Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI). Former President Donald Trump has been campaigning for a second term this election cycle on the GOP side. Among the others vying for the White House is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who ended his bid as a Democrat to run as an independent.
