Podcaster Jon Lovett recently admitted what a lot of Democrats believed in 2024. Despite the fact that President Joe Biden was no longer fit to serve, they didn’t care.

Lovett, a former Obama speechwriter and host of “Pod Save America” admitted that “I remember feeling I want to talk about this as a huge liability. To talk about this is something Joe Biden can overcome, but I’m not going to go as far as to say, ‘I think Joe Biden must drop out. He is too old to be president ... because I didn’t exactly know what was going on behind the scenes, but if Joe Biden is the presidential candidate, I want him to win.”

GUEST COLUMN, Larry Elder

 

Dear Jake Tapper,

You co-wrote a new book in which you brazenly accuse the Biden administration of orchestrating a "cover-up" to conceal the former president's cognitive decline. But you were complicit. You played a major role.

Why did Democrats and media co-conspirators, like you, keep quiet, downplay and viciously attack those pointing out former President Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline -- even though his deterioration was an accepted fact behind Democrat closed doors?

GUEST COLUMN, Dick Morris

 

All of Trump’s crises look like they are coming up roses.

The “big beautiful budget bill,” Iranian nuclear ambitions and stopping the Ukraine war are all looking good.

Budget: House fiscal hawks dropped their opposition to Trump’s tax cuts now that it is clear that they won’t increase the deficit at all or add to the national debt.
