How loved is President Joe Biden internationally? So loved that, when he visited Great Britain for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, the crowd greeted him with the “f*** Joe Biden” chant that has become ubiquitous in the United States. Just cut to the chase, here’s the hilarious video of that: And that wasn’t the only humiliating moment for Biden at the funeral. In addition to the FJB chants that greeted the President and “Dr.” Jill, as they drove in “The Beast,” the massive presidential limo, the Bidens, were also seated 14 rows back during the ceremony and, because they...

Supreme court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this year but has since recovered, according to officials familiar with her diagnosis. Two officials told The Washington Post she tested positive for the coronavirus this summer. The officials requested anonymity because they are not authorized to disclose Barrett's medical history. Barrett was administered a COVID-19 test following the news that President Trump and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for the virus early Friday morning. Barrett's test results came back negative. “She is following CDC guidance and best practices, including social distancing, wearing face coverings, and frequently...

The White House said Friday that President Donald Trump was suffering “mild symptoms” of COVID-19, adding that he was in good spirits and working in the family quarters though the announcement of his illness threw the country deeper into uncertainty just a month before the presidential election. The revelation came in a Trump tweet about 1 a.m. after he had returned from an afternoon political fundraiser without telling the crowd he had been exposed to an aide with the disease that has killed more than 205,000 Americans and more than a million people worldwide. First lady Melania Trump also tested...

Utah Sen. Mike Lee, a Republican, said Friday that he has tested positive for COVID-19. Lee said in a statement on Twitter that he'd tested positive on Thursday and would be working from his home while isolating for 10 days. Lee's statement came as news of President Donald Trump's and first lady Melania Trump's positive tests shook U.S. stocks and upended the presidential campaign, with Trump scrapping a planned Florida rally.

Georgia Republican Senator Johnny Isakson announced Wednesday that he will resign from his seat at the end of 2019 due to Parkinson's disease and other medical problems. "I am leaving a job I love because my health challenges are taking their toll on me, my family and my staff,” Sen. Isakson said in a statement.

Well, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) just couldn’t convince enough voters that she could beat President Trump. I mean if that bus tour she touted couldn’t convince you, I don’t know what else would (sarc.). Let’s be honest, Gillibrand had no shot. That was made painfully clear after the first couple of debates. She’s just not charismatic. Ranch dressing is more exciting than Gillibrand. And with that, she’s officially out of the race. She hasn’t decided whom she will endorse, but it’ll be anyone but Trump for her, as usual (via NYT): Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, who presented herself...

With her cloud of snow-white hair, signature three strand pearls and compelling presence, Barbara Bush's image was what she laughingly called "everybody's grandmother." But the feisty, outspoken Bush was also a tireless advocate for literacy , an author, experienced campaigner and both wife and mother of a U.S. president. Bush, 92, died Tuesday, shortly after her family announced she was in failing health and would decline further medical treatment in favor of “comfort care.” There were no details of her specific health problems. She is survived by her husband of 73 years, former President George H.W. Bush, five children (a...

s the pope stalkers of the world watched his flight path on the Alitalia website, suddenly… the plane started making donuts. Several loops over North Carolina later, the pope is back on his way to D.C.: A source on the ground at Joint Base Andrews said several government officials told him the reason the plane started circling was that Obama and Biden are running late to the greeting ceremony. Ooops. Seems like even the bishop of Rome has to adjust his schedule around Beltway traffic.

Kind of an important detail, yet buried 21 paragraphs deep. They’re not as specific as Jim Hoft was yesterday in alleging that Wilson’s eye was busted — the type of injury is unspecified here — but this is the first evidence I know of reported in a major paper that Brown might have been physically aggressive towards Wilson.Er, why didn’t the Times think to ask its sources, “What kind of injury?” Or did they and received a “no comment” in reply? Police might want to keep that detail a secret to see if witnesses will independently corroborate it. I.e....
