President Joe Biden angrily attacked Special Counsel Robert Hur during his press conference on Thursday for mentioning in a recent report that the president had trouble remembering when his son Beau died. As Breitbart News reported, Robert Hur said in his report that the president has suffered from cognitive decline, which has affected his memory. Hur even used this as a basis to recommend that he not be prosecuted for “willfully” retaining classified documents. Per the report:

Cuomo has come under increasing criticism for a March 25 directive requiring nursing homes to accept coronavirus patients. The directive read, in part (original emphasis): “No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the NH [nursing home] solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19. NHs are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission.” The policy is being scrutinized more closely as some 25% of the state’s fatalities from coronavirus have occurred in nursing homes. Critics argue that the state should not have...

After pushing for months to impeach President Trump, Nancy Pelosi abandoned all urgency on Thursday, playing coy on when she would send the case to the Senate - where Republicans accused her of getting “cold feet.” **SNIP** “I have a spring in my step because of the moral courage of our caucus.” But, confronted with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s far dimmer view of the impeachment hearings as the “most rushed, least thorough, and most unfair” in modern history, ­Pelosi’s pre-Christmas cheer soured. McConnell’s remarks, Pelosi said, “reminded me that our Founders, when they wrote the Constitution, they suspected there...

Hillary Clinton accused President Donald Trump of having a long “streak of racism” and “the whole package of bigotry” in an interview with The Guardian.

President Barack Obama accused Republicans on Friday of peddling discredited "snake oil ideas" about the U.S. economy as he tried to win votes for struggling Democrats in a battle for control of the Senate. Obama campaigned in Los Angeles for veteran California Senator Barbara Boxer, who faces a tough challenge from Carly Fiorina, the former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard. The president then headed to Nevada to stump for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who is in a fight for his political life. "This is a choice between the policies that got us into this mess and the policies that will...

Invocations of God and former president Ronald Reagan by an array of speakers...

North Korea Claims It Is Not Little Boy By Park Song-wu Staff Reporter North Korea is not a ``little boy'' as it already has nuclear weapons and will not succumb to the pressure from ``big brothers,'' Kim Gye-gwan, North Korea's vice foreign minister, told three Americans visiting Pyongyang when the North launched missiles. The plural form of brother indicates that the North was irritated by the pressure not only from the United States but also from China, its long-time communist ally and the main provider of humanitarian goods. The Nautilus Institute, a U.S. think tank on security and sustainability, posted...

N. Korea Chafes at U.N. Human Rights Plan Sat Nov 5, 2:40 AM ET North Korea has accused the United States of attempting to overthrow the communist regime with a human rights law and warned of an "ultra hard-line" response if it does so, according to a North Korean news report on Saturday. An unidentified delegate issued the warning before the United Nations General Assembly at U.N. headquarters in New York on Monday, said the report on North's Korean Central Broadcasting Station, a state-controlled radio station monitored by South Korea's Yonhap news agency. North Korean officials often make policy statements...

Voters not only angry, but unmoved by good fortune JAMES HOWARD GIBBONS wonders why conservatives take so little joy in their domination of U.S. politics at nearly every level. As this no-holds-barred election campaign proceeds, American voters are reported to be not only sharply divided but unusually angry. Calls to the Chronicle's editorial page office support both assertions. Several liberals complained that the paper has become hopelessly right-wing. A host of conservatives suggested in so many words that the Chronicle is now the willing tool of the liberal elite. All I can say is that both charges cannot be true....

Sacramento -- In publicly railing against legislative Democrats, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has increasingly referred to the political bogeymen that played a key role in getting him elected: special interests. Schwarzenegger, who promised to sweep the Capitol of influential campaign contributors, charged Sunday that trial lawyers, unions and other special interests were "dug in" at the Capitol "like Alabama ticks, and we cannot get rid of them." But as an ever-lengthening state budget fight has come to focus on rather obscure disputes involving a new labor law and school busing, Democrats are blasting back at the governor and Republican lawmakers for...
