Former White House Press Secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki traveled over to NBC and Late Night with Seth Meyers on Thursday to preview President Joe Biden’s press conference, which had not yet happened at the time of recording, by mourning the public hasn’t seen “the magic of Joe Biden.” At the same time, she claimed Donald Trump’s association with Project 2025 should “scare the hell out of you” while flunking basic civics about the Constitution’s separation of powers. Amidst the backdrop of Democratic unease over Biden, Psaki claimed voters actually need to see more of him, “That's one of the reasons why it's such a high stakes press conference, which everybody keeps using that phrase, as you said, because the pressure is on.”     However, Psaki admitted press conferences are not Biden’s strong suit, but “he's incredibly empathetic. He cares. He loves to hold babies. He legitimately loves them. He likes to travel with members of Congress, said no one ever, except for Joe Biden. So, that you're not seeing. And because you're not seeing, and the public is not seeing him and the magic of Joe Biden, you're relying on how is he going to answer the ninth question about his mental acuity at a press conference. Psaki also declared that “in that sense, the strategy is not going well. Oh, can I say one other thing about the strategy? Is that -- nobody knows the path forward. And members of Congress and people who are rooting for him want to know, how do you win this race? How do you defeat Donald Trump? People just want a little something to go with, and they don't have it.” Meyers then lamented, “It's interesting you say that because, of course, one of the things about Donald Trump is, you know, he speaks all the time, that you sort of forget how crazy he sounds. That if Donald Trump -- if what Donald Trump did yesterday, he -- was the only time we've seen him in the last two months, you would be like, ‘What the [bleep] is wrong with that guy?’ As Psaki agreed, “You would be like, ‘What the [bleep] is wrong with that guy?’ Meyers continued, “But he just floods the zone and so I think one of the things working against President Biden is because we see him less, you just put so much more into what you're seeing.” Speaking of Trump, Meyers turned to the left’s favorite boogeyman: The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, “You mentioned, you know, if we, you know, have a democracy in a few years, we've been talking a lot about this document, Project 2025. Because, you know, while we, you know, it's not that we lose our focus. I think what's happening with the president is serious and requires attention, but Project 2025, this is, you know—”     Psaki interjected with “scary” as Meyers rolled on, “the plan of what the Trump Administration in its second time around wants to do. Have you ever seen anything like it? How outside the norm is this?” An adjective-addicted Psaki began, “Way crazy, whackadoodle, insane, outside of the norm. You know, when it's 900 pages, it's on the Heritage website, and you can read it should you choose. If you're not asleep, just because it's long, it will scare the hell out of you. Because there's a lot of pieces in there. I mean, overall, there's a lot of things in there like mass deportations, camps, all sorts of things that are frightening and scary and alarming and not who we are.” The judicial branch of government refers to the courts, while the Justice Department is part of the executive branch, but Psaki didn’t seem to know that: But overall, it's basically a roadmap for Trump becoming all-powerful. It increases the power of the executive branch of government. There is a reason for checks and balances, for three branches of government, for a judiciary that's independent, so that they can hold people to account. That's what it's there for. He wants to get rid of that so he can go after his political enemies and so that he can use it as a weapon against people he doesn't like or who have done him wrong. If that doesn't scare the hell out of you, I don't know what does. Confusing Donald Trump for Kamala Harris and Volodymyr Zelensky for Vladimir Putin might scare quite a few people. Here is a transcript for the July 11-taped show: NBC Late Night with Seth Meyers 7/12/2024 1:17 AM ET JEN PSAKI: So, what people should understand is there's a lot of advisers who may be telling him, "Here's what you should be doing. You should be out there more. You should be doing more events. You should be engaging with people." He's clearly not doing that. That's one of the reasons why it's such a high stakes press conference, which everybody keeps using that phrase, as you said, because the pressure is on. They haven't seen him a lot. At the same time, it's also your job, when you're advising a president, to bring out their magic. I know that's a weird way of saying it, but President Biden's magic is not necessarily press conferences, I think it's safe to say. It's not even really necessarily interviews. It's his interactions with people. He's incredibly empathetic. He cares. He loves to hold babies. He legitimately loves them. He likes to travel with members of Congress, said no one ever, except for Joe Biden. So, that you're not seeing. And because you're not seeing, and the public is not seeing him and the magic of Joe Biden, you're relying on how is he going to answer the ninth question about his mental acuity at a press conference. And in that sense, the strategy is not going well. Oh, can I say one other thing about the strategy? Is that -- nobody knows the path forward. And members of Congress and people who are rooting for him want to know, how do you win this race? How do you defeat Donald Trump? People just want a little something to go with, and they don't have it. SETH MEYERS: It's interesting you say that because, of course, one of the things about Donald Trump is, you know, he speaks all the time, that you sort of forget how crazy he sounds. That if Donald Trump -- if what Donald Trump did yesterday, he -- was the only time we've seen him in the last two months, you would be like, "What the [bleep] is wrong with that guy?" PSAKI: You would be like, "What the [bleep] is wrong with that guy?" MEYERS: But he just floods the zone and so I think one of the things working against President Biden is because we see him-- PSAKI: Yeah. MEYERS: -- less, you just put so much more into what you're seeing.  … MEYERS: You mentioned, you know, if we, you know, have a democracy in a few years, we've been talking a lot about this document, Project 2025. Because, you know, while we, you know, it's not that we lose our focus. I think what's happening with the president is serious and requires attention, but Project 2025, this is, you know -- PSAKI: Scary. MEYERS: -- the plan of what the Trump Administration in its second time around wants to do. Have you ever seen anything like it? How outside the norm is this? PSAKI: Way crazy, whackadoodle, insane, outside of the norm. You know, when it's 900 pages, it's on the Heritage website, and you can read it should you choose. If you're not asleep, just because it's long, it will scare the hell out of you. Because there's a lot of pieces in there.

PSAKI: It's like, what is happening right now? But it is his plan put together by his people who have worked for him before and will work for him again.

On the inaugural episode of "Blaze News Tonight," co-hosts Jill Savage and Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson chatted with Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts about Project 2025 and the left's gross mischaracterization of it in a tired attempt to frighten Americans out of voting for Republicans.As questions continue to swirl about Joe Biden's cognitive abilities and his overall fitness for office, Democrats have seemingly attempted to distract voters from the chaos in their own house by frequently casting the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 as a threat to democracy. As part of that effort, they have also attempted to tie Project 2025 to former President Donald Trump, who has no official association with it. 'The American people want to return to normal. They want to return to commonsense policies.'Biden claimed that Project 2025 would "terminate[] the Constitution" by handing "limitless power" to his potential successor."Project 2025 should scare every single American," Biden posted to X on Thursday. "It would give Trump limitless power over our daily lives.""Donald Trump and Project 2025 are connected at the hip," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) likewise insisted.Though the left has attempted to turn Project 2025 into a political bogeyman, Roberts and Peterson noted that Project 2025 basically lists the same ideas and principles that "unabashedly conservative" organizations have been espousing for decades."Only in a leftist America would you have the situation where something the conservative movement has done since 1980 — starting for Ronald Reagan and this year, obviously, for our standard-bearer, Donald Trump — be such a story," Roberts said."It's the most normal thing in the world," Peterson added.Roberts also suggested that the reason Democrats have distorted Project 2025 so much is because they know it is a very attractive policy agenda for average voters."The American people want to return to normal," he claimed. "They want to return to commonsense policies, and when they look at Project 2025 ... most Americans ... realize, 'Gosh, we agree with that.'""You know it's good when people are actually out there and attacking it," Savage quipped.Savage further claimed that Democrats and leftist media outlets like Rolling Stone have issued a "very long list of lies" about Project 2025, including that Trump and other Republicans want to "monitor[] women's pregnancies" and "gut the separation of powers." While Roberts agreed that leftists have frequently lied about Project 2025, he noted that they have accurately portrayed one Project 2025 agenda item."We call for the utter elimination of the U.S. Department of Education," Roberts stated proudly.Roberts went on to explain that leftists cleave to the Department of Education because it is the means by which they "indoctrinate our kids, generation after generation." That's why they are "scared" of eliminating it, he said.They are apparently so "scared" of ending the DOE and other Project 2025 ideas that some activists even managed to hack "a very old third-party vendor website" affiliated with the Heritage Foundation to try to extract personal information about its personnel. Roberts told Savage and Peterson that he and his group takes this and other threats from Democrats seriously and that they are prepared to take legal action if necessary."It's going to be lawful, but you have picked the wrong fight," he said.Finally, Roberts claimed that he understands why the Trump campaign has distanced itself from some aspects of Project 2025. "The presidential campaign runs in its lane, the Republican Party runs in its lane, and those of us who are offering personnel and policy from the outside are offering or doing what we do," he explained."Project 2025 exists to be of service to ... decision-makers, starting with the president."The full first episode of "Blaze News Tonight," featuring Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), can be seen below: Project 2025: Heritage President DEBUNKS Lies | Guests: Kevin Roberts & Sen.

Actor Michael Douglas answered questions about the president being fit for office, saying that the "tide is turning" while admitting that claims Biden should be replaced have validity.Douglas appeared on "The View" and spoke about why he thinks there has been civil unrest and disappointment with the current regime. The 79-year-old pointed to the economy and cited figures an economist told him led to the degradation of the middle class.Douglas said that while the stock market has gone up "3,800%" since 1980, "living wages" have gone up only "16%.""We've lost our middle class," he said, stating that the demographic historically found life much more affordable. "Now, you're struggling."'I think President Trump has been very smart and has been quiet and watching the self-destruction.'Host Joy Behar asked the "Wall Street" and "Fatal Attraction" star about supporting Biden and brought up the fact that he held a fundraiser for the president at his home in April 2024."Do you agree for calls for him to step aside?" she asked. "Even Nancy Pelosi seems on the fence about him stepping aside.""This is such a tough one. I adore the guy. Fifty years of public service, such a wonderful guy, and this just happens to be one of these elections that is just so crucial, and it's really hard," Douglas replied. "I don't worry necessarily today or tomorrow, but a year down the line I worry. I am concerned."Douglas added that he has noticed politicians who are calling Biden to drop out are now "hedging their bets."The actor found himself in a similar boat as George Clooney, having raised money for the president while praising his sharpness just a few months ago, only to now share concerns about his cognitive ability.In late April 2024, Douglas said that everyone he had spoken to about Biden had said he is "as sharp as a tack.""He's fine," he reiterated. "We all have an issue of memories as we get older, we forget names. ... He's overcome a stutter in his life and sometimes he might.""Let's just say that his entire cabinet, including his vice president, everybody in his cabinet would be more than happy to work with him again in the next term," he claimed.When asked directly about Clooney's New York Times op-ed that called for Biden to be replaced, Douglas told "The View" that he thought it was "a valid point.""I'm deeply, deeply concerned. I mean, especially, it's difficult because the Democrats have a big bench. They've got a lot of heavy hitters," Douglas claimed.In a separate interview, posted to X by the New York Post, Douglas said it was "very hard to speak badly" about the president."It's been an incredible three and a half years he's had as president. But I think the tide is turning."He finished by praising President Trump's ability to sit back and allow the DNC to implode."I think President Trump has been very smart and has been quiet and watching the self-destruction [and the] cannibalism going on. Democrats got to get their act together."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Sharing Wi-Fi passwords has got to be one of the most annoying experiences out there, yet it's something that we all have to deal with. Anywhere we go, we ask about the "free Wi-Fi" that we're entitled to from family and friends. The same goes for restaurants and hotels. It's expected of them, and most places give you free Wi-Fi. But now that 1Password has rolled out a new update to its app, you no longer have to worry about entering Wi-Fi credentials. Rather than typing the Wi-Fi password by hand or copying it from a message, you'll simply have to scan a QR code from 1Password that will get you logged in. Of course, there's one obvious shortcoming: For everything to work, the person or establishment sharing the password with you would have to have 1Password installed. Continue reading...

In 2020, archaeologists excavating near the shore of Lake Xiada Co in western Tibet uncovered six distinctive stone artifacts. Each artifact measured about half the length of a golf tee, featuring a pointed tip at one end and an eye-like opening at the other. These artifacts, dated to 9,000 years ago, represent the oldest sewing needles on record and the oldest stone tools made by grinding. Found on the Tibetan Plateau, this is an area notorious for exposing its ancient inhabitants to a harsh climate, much like today. A Significant Technological Advance According to a study published in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, the development of the “eyed” needle was a significant advancement in human civilization. This innovation enabled our ancestors to produce more durable and protective clothing and shelters, facilitating exploration of new environments and permanent habitation in colder regions.
