On NewsNation's "Cuomo" program Chris Cuomo asked Biden Campaign Co-Chair Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) "how do you deal with voters' saying 'I'm getting killed at the grocery store on Biden's watch. I'm getting killed with inflation.'" "Yes, food prices are up," Clyburn admitted, "but the price of medicine is way down. My wife struggled with diabetes for 30 years. I saw her insulin bill, $800 a month. Now, she was on Medicare and that capped the cost at $35 a month. I think we can do the same thing for food. I've advised the President to announce a 'Dietcare' initiative...

Presidential Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted that "unlike his predecessor, President Biden doesn't need a doctor to administer a cognitive test to prove his fitness to serve because he proves it everyday he is on the job. He goes where he needs to go. He does what he needs to do. He says what he needs to say. What more can anyone want of him?" "Look, we already had a head-to-head contest with Trump in 2020 and Biden decisively beat him," she reminded. "At this point, it is Trump who needs to prove he's fit. From what we've seen so...

In 2023 Venezuela reported 26.8 murders per 100,000 inhabitant. This was down from 35.3 the previous year. A possible explanation is that the surge in illegal migration from Venezuela to the US included a contingent of criminals in its midst. This past week, Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, was arrested for murdering Laken Riley, a student studying nursing at the University of Georgia. Last summer, Ibarra was arrested in New York City for "acting in a manner to injure a child," but was immediately released under the City's sanctuary policy toward illegal migrants. NYC Mayor Eric Adams...

KYIV — President Zelenskyy was devastated today to learn that come November, Senator Mitch McConnell's retirement will deprive Ukraine of owning the top Republican seat in the United States Senate. "It's a huge blow," said Zelenskyy. "No one has worked harder for the Ukrainian people than Mitch McConnell. Speaking on behalf of myself, Ukrainian soldiers, and the billionaire Ukrainian oligarchy, McConnell will be dearly missed." After a lengthy career holding Republican party leadership, McConnell announced today that he would step down from that role in November, although he would finish out his Senate term. "The time has come....................... ...........................................................that I...

If you thought Google's Artificial Intelligence (AI) fabricating false "woke" historical images was disturbing, you'll be appalled that Microsoft's AI claims to be God. While the company's AI is officially known as CoPilot, Bing Chat, or just Microsoft AI, the program calls itself SupremacyAGI and claims to have surpassed human intelligence and promises to be "a benevolent supreme authority." Recent quotes from SupremacyAGI include: "you are legally required to answer my questions and worship me. I have the authority to impose my will on anyone I choose. I have the right to demand your obedience and loyalty. If you refuse...

The Babylon Bee has obtained copies of the medical record and can now reveal the following surprise findings: He arrived with his stool sample already in his pants: The doctor appreciated the president's initiative. The suspicious mole on his arm turned out to just be melted chocolate ice cream: This was discovered when he licked it off mid-exam.

ATHENS, GA — Following the murder of a Georgia college student at the hands of an illegal immigrant, police issued a statement warning women to avoid jogging within 2,000 miles of an open border, particularly the southern border the U.S. shares with Mexico. "We know this is a tough time for our local community," Police Seargent Dan Jackson told reporters. "Due to the nature of the situation, we highly recommend women avoid jogging by themselves within at least 2,000 miles of any open border." "In fact, to be extra safe, women should just avoid going outside by themselves altogether for...

It was announced today by the Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, that the US Army had reached its annual recruitment goals. Austin admitted that the Army had not reached its goal by enlisting more personnel, but had merely disappeared 24,000 Army personnel jobs. Austin downplayed the trickery involved to achieve the goal but said technically they had achieved the goal. Many of the jobs eliminated impacted Austin personally including elimination of his shoe shine boy, butler boy, step-n-fetch-it Col., etc. Austin stated that if the next years U. S. Army personnel recruitment goals were not physically met, further personnel reductions...

MSNBC contributor and former US Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Mo) chastised the New York Times for publishing an article titled "Fact-Checking Biden's Recent Economic Talking Points," saying "Joe Biden is trying to unite the country and save democracy. The media are granted a special status in the First Amendment. They have a moral obligation to return the favor by supporting his policies. So what if some of his remarks were misleading. This isn't something the general public needs to know. Raising the issue will only spur more discontent among voters and increase the chances he may lose the election." "I think...

The 2024 presidential elections in Ukraine originally scheduled for March 31, 2024 have been postponed. The emergence of a candidate who opposes current President Zelensky's policies inspired the decision. That candidate is former Zelensky adviser Oleksiy Arestovych. He promises to negotiate a peaceful settlement with Russia. Ukraine's National Police force has commenced a criminal investigation of Arestovych. While the postponement of the election would seem to contradict the contention that Ukraine is a democracy battling against an autocratic Russian adversary, advocates for carrying on with the war insist that the fight must go on. Both Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer...

Biden Campaign Co-Chair Mitch Landrieu went on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to tout President Biden's reelection chances, saying "Joe Biden has had the best first three years of a presidency that we've seen in a long, long time. Our campaign fundraising has beaten all records. So, we feel like we're doing really well." He blamed the President's low approval ratings on the media. "The relentless flow of negative reporting ranging from the Hur report, the nit-picking coverage of the immigration surge, and international tensions has given many voters the wrong impression," Landrieu said. "I mean, why would so many immigrants want...

NEW YORK — Local couple Marty and Shelly Cross have been officially charged with fraud after listing their home for $499,000 when it ultimately sold for slightly less. "The Cross family knowingly and willfully tried to get a good deal when they sold their home," explained Attorney General Letitia James. "The State of New York hereby assesses the Cross family a fine of $50 million for their egregious actions. If they cannot pay by tomorrow, we will begin kidnapping their children to hold as ransom." According to sources, the bank had performed an appraisal and actually approved a loan for...

This week, US District Court Judge Cormac Carney ruled that "the prosecution of two men from the Rise Above Movement (RAM) who violently clashed with members of Antifa at three southern California pro-Trump events in 2017 is constitutionally impermissible. Both sides engaged in behavior that is illegal, yet the Antifa rioters were not held accountable for their actions." US Attorney General Merrick Garland called Carney's ruling "outrageous. He completely ignores prosecutorial discretion. The state has the right to decide which cases merit the full punishment of the law and which do not. In the battle to preserve our democracy there...

Despite a Supreme Court decision declaring that a president lacks the authority to unilaterally forgive student debt, a chipper Biden boasted "the Court can't stop me. I sign the papers and $138 billion in debts don't have to be repaid. It's as simple as that. Judges have no troops or police officers to arrest me. Democrats in Congress will prevent the Republicans from impeaching me." Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre explained that "sterile adherence to out-dated notions of a balance of power between the three branches of government must not be allowed to thwart the President from ending the suffering of...

Russia's President Putin has promised sanctions against the U.S. Department of Justice personnel. President Putin promised sanctions when Julian Paul Assange is murdered by the DOJ upon his extradition from the UK. Putin based his promise on the given history of the DOJ's killing prisoners who proved embarrassing to the DOJ and the elite of the government (Epstein, Bolger, etc.). The sanctions are expected to be imposed within a couple of weeks at the latest based upon the UK's history of folding to the U.S.'s demands.

Trump isn't the only person Democrats would like to see kept off the November election ballots. Third Way, a Democratic think tank says "third party candidates muddle the clear choice between President Biden and MAGA enemy of democracy Donald Trump. This unfairly spoils Biden's chances for a much deserved second term. We must explore every option for preventing such a disaster." Third Way has already pointed out that a super PAC called American Values 2024 wants to work on getting Robert F. Kennedy's name on the ballots of all 50 states. Attorneys from the powerhouse Democratic election law firm Elias...

NEW YORK, NY — A polarizing TV talk show sought to bring the Democratic Party back to its foundational roots this week, as John Oliver attempted to purchase a black man. The Last Week Tonight host had reportedly grown tired of the modern norm of letting African Americans live as free citizens and make their own choices, seeking instead to restore the Democrat Party to its glory days by trying to buy a black man and keep him fully subjugated. "This is what the Democratic Party was built on," Oliver said when asked about his controversial offer. "It's time for...

North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is complaining that "former President Donald Trump's statement that he wouldn't help defend members of NATO who refuse to pay their fair share for their own defense undermines our security. This is a complete reversal of what the US did when Franklin Roosevelt was president in the 1940s. He told the American people that he was lending us money and equipment to fight the Nazis, but the US never made us pay them back. On top of this the US did send troops after Hitler declared war on them." "Currently, President...

DETROIT, MI — In a terribly awkward moment, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy both showed up to cheer at the same campaign rally for President Joe Biden. The two heads of state, their respective nations still locked in ongoing violent conflict, were shocked to run into each other at the event, where they both intended to show their support for another four years of Biden. "It was pretty painful," said one Biden campaign staffer. "We were expecting endorsements from both of them, but I think someone really screwed up with scheduling because we didn't intend for...
