The 81-year-old Joe Biden suffered from a life-threatening aneurysm that had been misdiagnosed as a pinched nerve in February 1988. After having to take upwards of ten Tylenol a day to provide a modicum of pain relief, doctors discovered the dangerous warping of a blood vessel. If that vessel had burst, it would have likely been fatal. Biden underwent an emergency surgery to correct the condition and head off its potentially deadly consequences. An aneurysm is a warping in a blood vessel, commonly as a bulge or bubble. Aneurysms can fill with blood and subsequently rupture. When ruptured, aneurysms are...

This book is an alarm. It’s a sign that danger is close, and that it’s serious. That’s not how the author meant it. Mark Pomerantz published People vs. Donald Trump last year to describe his role as a special assistant district attorney in Manhattan, trying to prosecute the former president, and to complain about an initial decision in the DA’s office not to file charges. I didn’t notice it until I saw Pomerantz taking the fifth over and over again in response to recent questions about his behavior during the investigation, but I bought a copy this week — a...

The 2023-2024 school year is closing on a sour note. No one should be surprised. Numerous colleges are cancelling their commencement exercises. Where they don’t cancel them; numerous graduating students are choosing not to attend, out of safety fears. And on Sunday, May 12, comedian Jerry Seinfeld – as inoffensive a speaker as one can imagine in a politically-charged time – stood up to give an address at Duke University’s commencement ceremony, and hundreds of attendees booed him, with dozens walking out of the event in protest. (Just how many of these were graduating students, faculty and administrators versus how...

On this date in 1917, Romanian Lieutenant Emil Rebreanu was hanged for attempted desertion by the Austro-Hungarian army. Here’s Rebreanu’s entry at the Enciclopedia Romaniei, which says in brief that he was one of 14 (!) brothers born in the part of present-day Romania that was then attached to the Kingdom of Hungary. Upon the outbreak of World War I, Rebreanu was drafted into the Austro-Hungarian forces and fought on several fronts. But his removal to the lines to fight against the independent Romanian state was a front too far: he attempted to cross the lines to the Romanians on...

The United Nations General Assembly on Friday overwhelmingly backed a Palestinian bid to become a full UN member by recognizing it as qualified to join and recommending the UN Security Council “reconsider the matter favorably.” “Shame on you,” Erdan said The vote by the 193-member General Assembly was a global survey of support for the Palestinian bid to become a full UN member — a move that would effectively recognize a Palestinian state — after the United States vetoed it in the UN Security Council last month. The assembly adopted a resolution with 143 votes in favor and nine against...

Biden did it again. A feeble, decrepit, brain-dead, old man with dementia and diapers is running the country. Have you heard? And people with dementia often “spill the beans.” They have no filter. So, they act like little kids- they say whatever is on their mind. Secrets come spilling out. Pay attention to Joe Biden. He has dementia and belongs in a nursing home, not the White House. So, sometimes secrets come spilling out of his decrepit mouth. ... The secret to how Democrats planned to beat Trump in the 2020 presidential election came spilling out of Biden’s decrepit mouth...

Former Congressman and Republican vice-presidential candidate in the 2012 election Paul Ryan confirmed that "I will not be voting for Donald Trump no matter what. Character matters. I cannot support a person of low character for the top job in our government." Ryan fended off criticism of President Joe Biden's character, saying "using his position in government to obtain bribes for his family and himself are the normal kind of abuse of power that is common in our politics. Almost everyone does it--Republicans and Democrats alike. Our country has and can continue to survive this type of self-serving misuse of...

The blame and hate game is in full effect in America, as the Biden Regime sinks the Republic faster than a glacier sinking the Titanic. Every problem created and perpetuated by the Obama and Biden autocracies has a scapegoat, or two, or three, just in case the brainwashed sheeple aren’t quite sure how to follow the fake news bouncing ball on any given day. Before Obama took over the country, there wasn’t much racism left. Nobody hated anybody for the color of their skin, their religion or their preferred gender “associations.” Comedy made fun of everybody, everything and everybody laughed,...

As Saigon was falling, Janet Nguyen’s uncle – an officer in the South Vietnamese Army – was taken before his village and executed. After the city fell on April 30, 1975, the communists put Nguyen’s father and mother in jail. Their “crime?” They got caught trying to escape the country. After Saigon fell, Tri Ta’s father spent years in a re-education camp prison. His “crime?” He wrote books critical of communism. Both Nguyen and Ta eventually made it to California with their families. She became a California state senator and he became a member of the Assembly. The Republicans represent...

Fact-checking website Snopes has changed a fact check about a diary belonging to Ashley Biden, President Joe Biden’s daughter, from “unproven” to “true.” Snopes describes Ashley Biden’s diary and the content of “actions taken toward her” by the president when she was a child as not appropriate.” The news comes just a month after Ashley Biden wrote a letter on April 8 to Chief Judge Laura Taylor Swain of the Southern District of New York.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott responded to a Sunday article in Daily Mail that detailed the large number of cops ditching California for the pastures of Texas, which might not be greener but are certainly more friendly to law enforcement. Morale is low among peace officers in the Golden State as soft-on-crime woke district attorneys like LA’s George Gascón and Alameda County’s Pamela Price, along with criminal-loving measures like Proposition 47, make them feel undermined and unwelcome. Thousands of them are getting out of Dodge, the outlet reported: "…the Golden State is hemorrhaging thousands of police every year, with numbers down...

2020 was just the appetizer. Every time I hear a Democrat say the vote in November is about saving democracy, I cringe. Yet, I have to agree-democracy is at risk. Not only is democracy at risk, but so is the Republic. From Democrats. In the face of polls seeing Donald Trump hammering Joe Biden, democrats are feverishly working to completely destroy voter integrity laws and open the doors for voting by all the illegal aliens being imported into the country. Early in his Presidency, Joe Biden set the corruption machine in motion by using taxpayer dollars to register democrat voters....

Staying in the middle class takes a lot of work, according to a new analysis. A look at the numbers from the website GOBankingRates.com found that it took a nearly 42 percent increase in income to remain in the middle class from 2012, the midpoint of the Obama administration, to 2022, the middle of the Biden administration. The site published a state-by-state listing of what it takes to be in the middle class, defining the term as people with an income no less than two-thirds of the median income and no more than double that figure. Although the national minimum...

AI is all the rage, right now, with both the benefits and the dangers of this breakthrough tech being discussed to the exhaustion. AI is said to help us code, write, and synthesize vast amounts of data. They reportedly can outwit humans at board games, decode the structure of proteins and hold a rudimentary conversation. But now it surfaces a study claiming that AI systems have grown in sophistication to the point of developing a capacity for deception. The paper states that A range of AI systems have learned techniques to systematically induce ‘false beliefs in others to accomplish some...

VIDEOThe first time you watch the Hammock Guy demanding his right to hammock on a bus you might think he is just an annoying jerk. That was my first impression which is why I have replayed the Hammock Guy's performance. By the second viewing, there is a good chance your antagonism towards the Hammock Guy will change from annoyance to growing admiration along with strong doses of amusement. And the more I watch the Hammock Guy the more I admire him despite my initial impression. Oh, and I also laugh harder each time I watch him defy authority and assert...
