President Joe Biden released a lengthy statement reiterating his intent to push through the criticism and speculation about his ability to face former President Donald Trump in the presidential election. The development comes after a growing number of Democrats have urged the president to step down and let someone else take the reins.Biden's statement started by saying, "I want you to know that despite all the speculation in the press and elsewhere, I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Trump." — (@) Following Biden's catastrophic debate performance against Trump late last month, many Democrats have become discouraged by the president's mental acuity. Rob Reiner recently took to X, saying that it was time for Democrats to "stop f***ing around," alluding to a much-needed presidential candidate who stands a better chance against the opposition. 'Any weakening of resolve or lack of clarity about the task ahead only helps Trump and hurts us.'Reiner's sentiment was echoed by Abigail Disney, granddaughter of Roy Disney, co-founder of Walt Disney Company, who said that she would not provide cash donations to the Democratic Party until Biden was removed from the presidential race."I intend to stop any contributions to the party unless and until they replace Biden at the top of the ticket. This is realism, not disrespect. Biden is a good man and has served his country admirably, but the stakes are far too high," she said."If Biden does not step down, the Democrats will lose. Of that I am absolutely certain," she added. "The consequences for the loss will be genuinely dire."Despite these calls for the president to give the candidacy over to someone else, he stated in the letter that "I have heard the concerns that people have — their good-faith fears and worries about what is at stake. I also know these concerns come from a place of real respect for my lifetime of public service and my record as President, and I have been moved by the expressions of affection for me from so many who have known me well and supported me over the course of my public life.""I can respond to all this by saying clearly and unequivocally: I wouldn't be running again if I did not absolutely believe I was the best person to beat Donald Trump in 2024."The statement went on to reiterate that no one else within the Democratic Party received the same amount of support as Biden did, noting that "I have received over 14 million votes, 87% of the votes cast across the entire nominating process. I have nearly 3,900 delegates, making me the presumptive nominee of our party by a wide margin."It went on to state that while Trump is siding with "the wealthy and big corporations," the Biden administration is focused on "the working people of America."Instead of addressing the issues many Democrats have with Biden, the letter instead reiterated the president's policies, noting that "we are the ones lowering cost for families — from health care to prescription drugs to student debt to housing. We are the ones protecting Social Security and Medicare. Everything they're proposing raises costs for most Americans — except their tax cuts, which will go to the rich."The letter concluded by calling for unity among Democrats, saying that "any weakening of resolve or lack of clarity about the task ahead only helps Trump and hurts us. It is time to come together, move forward as a unified party, and defeat Donald Trump."Like Blaze News?

I was on annual leave last week, away from my desk, supposedly touching grass. What actually happened, however, is that I plowed literal days into Zenless Zone Zero, HoYoverse's neo-futuristic anime game. I've fallen in love with Nicole, cried when my partner pulled Rina and I didn't, and wiled away the hours collecting Zenless Zone Zero polychrome, the flickering rainbow resource that brings me ever-closer to finally pulling Ellen.

I love the chapter one prologue to Red Dead Redemption 2. It's a slow, monotonous trek through mountains during a blizzard. This makes it a chilling set up for the fate of the gang - doomed by poor leadership and bad luck. A lot of people hate it, however, because it stops them getting into the meat of the game on a new playthrough. Fortunately, a new mod will fix the issue for these players by providing a save file that dumps you right into chapter two, complete with all five gang member requests initiated.

If you're looking forward to the release of Dungeonborne, the PvPvE dungeon crawler, it's worth noting that you might not be able to play it on the Steam Deck. This information comes from users participating in the current playtest who say they have been banned after playing the game on Valve's handheld. Even as the best handheld gaming PC on the market, the Steam Deck has its weaknesses when it comes to gaming. One example is the Linux operating system's incompatibility with various anti-cheat software.

Tesla’s apparent “Juniper” Model Y refresh in the wild. | Image: Reddit user JacklJack An apparent “Juniper” Tesla Model Y was spotted under the veil in California, reigniting reports that the automaker is prepping a redesign of its popular electric SUV. A new image was posted on Reddit showing a black Model Y with its front and rear bumpers covered up and, as Not a Tesla App reports, a front-mounted camera that should help with parking assistance since Tesla had removed ultrasonic sensors years ago. The Model Y’s sedan counterpart, Model 3, received the refresh treatment in the US at the beginning of this year, following a European debut in September. Tesla reworked the front and rear bumpers on the Model 3, gave it squinty headlights, added tines to the taillights, and switched to a spelled-out text logo. As for the... Continue reading…

Microsoft is banning Android phones from its workplace in China for privacy and security reasons. According to Bloomberg News, Microsoft staff will have to ditch their Android-powered devices in favor of iPhones starting in September. Special iPhone apps will be required for China-based employees to verify their identities when logging in to work computers or phones. The internal memo revealed by Bloomberg highlights Microsoft's global Secure Future Initiative to ensure all staff uses Microsoft Authenticator and Identity Pass apps. Microsoft decided to ban Android phones because the Google Play Store isn't available in mainland China. Instead, Android users must rely on app stores made by local smartphone vendors, such as Huawei and Xiaomi. Still, Redmond has chosen to block access to its corporate resources from those devices because "they lack Google's mobile service in the country." That said, Microsoft will provide an iPhone 15 for any staff with Android handsets as a one-time purchase. More interestingly, even Microsoft's Hong Kong offices, where Google's services are accessible, will also require the use of iPhone devices. Bloomberg notes that Microsoft started ramping up security worldwide after "incurring repeat attacks from state-sponsored hackers." A few months ago, the company's executive vice president, Charlie Bell, wrote: “We are making security our top priority at Microsoft, above all else—over all other features.” With a recent Russia-linked breach disclosed in January that affected dozens of US government agencies, including the State Department, Microsoft wants to ensure its employees and partners are safe. The company is even committed to moving faster to address cloud vulnerabilities and make it harder for hackers to steal credentials. While using an iPhone doesn't guarantee complete protection against possible attacks, Microsoft can at least ensure employees can have their own authentication apps without issues. In addition, Apple offers specific privacy features, such as Lockdown Mode, for those who think they might suffer from hacker attacks.
