Former President Donald Trump challenged President Joe Biden to debate him again this week and separately challenged him to a televised golf match in which Trump offered to give Biden a 20-stroke advantage and said he would make a $1 million donation to Biden’s charity of choice if Biden manages to win. Trump made the remarks while holding a rally in Doral, Florida, following his dominant debate performance against Biden two weeks ago that has spurred calls for Biden to drop out of the race because of his cognitive decline. “So tonight I’m officially offering Joe the chance to redeem himself in front of the entire world,” Trump told a large crowd of supporters. “Let’s do another debate this week so that Sleepy Joe Biden can prove to everyone all over the world that he has what it takes to be president but this time it will man-to-man, no moderators, no holds barred. Just name the place, anytime, anywhere.” “And in the debate, Sleepy Joe also declared that he wanted to test his skills and stamina against mine on the golf course,” Trump added as he proceeded to mock Biden’s weak golf swing. “That’s why this evening I am also … challenging Crooked Joe to an 18-hole golf match right here on Doral’s Blue Monster — considered one of the greatest tournament golf courses anywhere in the world, one of the great courses of the world.” “It will be among the most watched sporting events in history, maybe bigger than the Ryder Cup, or ever The Masters,” he continued. “And I will even give Joe Biden 10 strokes aside, 10 strokes, that’s a lot. That means 20 strokes in case you don’t play golf. … And if he wins I will give the charity of his choice — any charity that wants — $1 million.” ?

A Massachusetts Institute of Technology student testified before Congress on Tuesday, detailing that current labor laws failed to protect him from pervasive antisemitism inside his union, which he is required to be a member of. “I’ve tried to use the law as it exists and at every turn, the law has failed me,” MIT graduate student William Sussman said. The computer science doctoral candidate cited numerous examples of MIT Graduate Student Union (GSU) staffers occupying buildings, being arrested, and passing a “ceasefire resolution” that did not mention the words “hostages,” “Hamas,” or “peace.” “The blood had not yet dried when my colleagues at MIT declared ‘Victory is Ours,’”’ Sussman said, referring to a student group sharing an advertisement of an anti-Israel rally one day after Hamas’s massacre of more than 1,000 Israelis on October 7.  The “Confronting Union Antisemitism: Protecting Workers from Big Labor Abuses,” hearing held by the House Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions comes amid unions across the country engaging in anti-Israel political activism including passing one-sided resolutions, organizing protests, and persecuting Zionist members.

Eventually, the union began approving religious accommodations after five discrimination charges. Sussman is one of six MIT graduate students being represented by the National Right to Work Foundation in federal proceedings against the GSU. Calling himself a “lifelong Democrat,” Sussman advocated for a National Right to Work Act “so that unions have to earn their dues and think twice before discriminating against minorities.” “Jewish graduate students are a minority at MIT,” Sussman said. “We can’t remove the GSU or disabuse it of its antisemitism. But we also can’t support an organization that actively works toward the eradication of the Jewish homeland, where I have family living now.” During the hearing, Taubman read messages he received from union members at the City University of New York (CUNY) claiming nails were found in Jewish members’ tires, malicious campaigns were launched to Zionist members fired, and discussions were held about observant Jews being “undesirable for membership.”   “This is virtually Nazi-like from out of the 1930s,” Taubman said. “That’s what these people are seeing on their campuses.”

This baby’s reaction to seeing her reporter mom on TV for the first time might be the sweetest thing you’ll watch all day. ABC Denver affiliate KMGH’s sports anchor Bradey King welcomed her daughter, Goldie, in January and returned to work in April. While Bradey has covered dozens of stories since ending her maternity leave, it wasn’t until late June that Goldie spotted her mom on the television. The day the little girl recognized her mother on the screen, her face lit up. And she continued to watch—completely enamored and beaming with joy. Someone caught the reaction on camera, and Bradey shared it with her social media followers. “Get you someone that looks at you like this ,” she captioned under the precious clip. @bradeyking get you someone that looks at you like this #momsoftiktok #motherdaughter #sportsreporter #baby #viral ♬ original sound – bradeyking In the short time the video has been up on Instagram and TikTok, it has amassed over 5 million views.  Reporter Mom Says Baby’s Reaction Was “The Cutest Thing Ever” After the video went viral, Bradey spoke with Good Morning America and said how “fun” it’s been that the “video has just taken on a life of its own.” She’s proud to be working in a male-dominated field, and she’s excited to share that with her little girl. “It’s cool to be a woman in sports and have your daughter get to see you do what you love,” she said. “I can’t even explain to you,” she continued. “I think I was just laughing and giggling and starting to tear up. Honestly, it was just the cutest thing ever and … apparently the world thinks so too.” More importantly, Bradey is proud of her daughter for bringing so much joy to people with her simple, genuine reaction. Bradey’s “motto” is “just to be the light,” and that’s exactly what her little “golden girl” is doing. “I have that as a tattoo,” she shared. “And that’s just always been my motto. So I hope that that’s one thing I pass on to her, is just trying to make others smile and feel good.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Such is the state of the Regime Media that TMZ, more broadly known for celebrity gossip, is out there filling a void and doing journalism. A hidden cameraman caught ABC Senior Political Correspondent George Stephanopoulos in a candid admission: he doesn’t think President Joe Biden can serve a second full term. Watch the stunning moment as it unfolds on the streets of New York: #GeorgeStephanopoulos just made a STUNNING comment: he told someone on the streets of #NewYork that he doesn't think President #JoeBiden can serve another term! https://t.co/cFMK2Uxx4z pic.twitter.com/pxKkolFcGt — TMZ (@TMZ) July 9, 2024 RANDO ON THE STREET: Hey. Hey. Excuse me. How you doin’?  GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Good. How are you? RANDO: What do you think? Do you think Biden should step down? You’ve talked to him more than anyone else has lately. And yo an he honest… STEPHANOPOULOS: I don’t think he can serve four more years. RANDO: You don’t think he can serve four more years? Allright. That’s an answer.  Per TMZ: George's comment is telling, given he had an exclusive sit-down with the Prez just 4 days ago. George pressed Biden on his mental acuity and his dismal debate performance. Outside the White House bubble, George has spent more one-on-one time with the President than just about anyone. Telling, indeed, albeit perhaps for different reasons than those arrived at by the good folks at TMZ. That George Stephanopoulos has an opinion on things is not news. He airs them all the time on This Week. Take, for example, this screechy point of personal privilege he took in order to lecture everyone on the STAKES of this election (click “expand” for transcript):  GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Good morning, and welcome to This Week. Until now, no American president had ever faced a criminal trial. No American president had ever faced a federal indictment for retaining and concealing classified documents. No American president had ever faced a federal indictment or a state indictment for trying to overturn an election, or been named an unindicted co-conspirator in two other states for the same crime. No American president ever faced hundreds of millions of dollars in judgments for business fraud, defamation and sexual abuse. Until now, no American presidential race had been more defined on what's happening in courtrooms than what is happening on the campaign trail. Until now. The scale of the abnormality is so staggering that it can actually become numbing. It's all too easy to fall into reflective habits- to treat this as a normal campaign where both sides embrace the rule of law, where both sides are dedicated to a debate based on facts and the peaceful transfer of power. But that is not what's happening this election year. Those bedrock tenets of our democracy are being tested in a way we haven't seen since the Civil War. It's a test for the candidates, for those of us in the media, and for all of us as citizens. The newsworthiness of Stephanopoulos’ statement is not the statement itself, but the venue in which he chooses to deliver it. Not during Friday’s funereal post-interview panel or to open This Week, but on the streets of New York. Not to the millions of Americans who choose to rely on him for political coverage, but to some rando on the street with a cellphone in his hand.  And, of course, this begs more questions. Why did Stephanopoulos bite his tongue at this critical juncture? Was he muzzled by ABC News brass or did he self-censor on the air out of deference to a fellow Democrat? Also, how many more within the Regime Media harbor these same reservations, but hold their tongues out of dutiful partisanship where they would otherwise speak and editorialize freely? We shall soon find out. UPDATE: Per Pucks; Dylan Byers, Stephanopoulos issues a statement of sort-of regret, and ABC News distances themselves from the remark. There's going to be an on-air struggle session, isn't there? NEW @PuckNews: ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, who recently interviewed Biden and was today caught in TMZ video saying he doesn’t think Biden “can serve four more years,” tells me, via spokesperson: “Earlier today I responded to a question from a passerby.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre suggested that the Russians might be utilizing online bot-farms to spread damaging debate videos and help former President Donald Trump's campaign. Jean-Pierre encouraged the speculation after a reporter's question on Tuesday during a media briefing. 'So, that's a very good question.' "Do you have any concerns right now that this is the leading edge of any part of a Russian effort to interfere in the election? Has the president been briefed on this?" the reporter asked. "Have you seen any evidence that the Russians or other foreign powers have tried to seize on the debate performance and repeat some of the president's most embarrassing moments?" "So, that's a very good question," she responds. "I would have to talk to our team about those particular questions that you just had, there were multiple questions in your statement there. I would leave it to the Department of Justice as to what they announce. Obviously, that's for them to speak to," Jean-Pierre added. "AI has always been a concern, that's why the president made some announcements recently to take executive action on how we can deal with AI," she concluded. "We want to see more fulsome action legislatively from Congress." 'Russia intended to use this bot farm to disseminate AI-generated foreign disinformation.' Also on Tuesday, the Department of Justice announced that it had disrupted an online bot farm sponsored by the Russian government that was spreading disinformation on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “Today’s actions represent a first in disrupting a Russian-sponsored Generative AI-enhanced social media bot farm,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray. The statement said that Russian intelligence had access to a "social media bot farm" with more than 1,000 accounts that pretended to be U.S. citizens. “Russia intended to use this bot farm to disseminate AI-generated foreign disinformation, scaling their work with the assistance of AI to undermine our partners in Ukraine and influence geopolitical narratives favorable to the Russian government," Wray added. 'They're going to blame Biden's debate performance on Russia.' Critics of the White House criticized the attempt to connect embarrassing debate videos to a Russian disinformation campaign. "This question may sound ridiculous now, but it will pale in comparison to the inevitable push by the mainstream media to actually blame Putin for Biden's rapid cognitive decline," read one response. "They're going to blame Biden's debate performance on Russia. You can't make this stuff up," read another reply. "So, clips of the debate will be regarded as Russian propaganda? One trick pony," another user said. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
