Former President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris was the best “insurance policy” President Joe Biden could have to ensure he remains the Democratic nominee for president.  Trump made the comments at a rally at the Trump National Doral Golf Club in Florida, where he discussed Biden’s disastrous debate performance and alluded to widespread speculation about who he would choose to run with him on the Republican ticket.  During the rally, Trump said Harris was the “best insurance policy I’ve ever seen,” adding that her unpopularity and incompetence was helping Biden keep a grip on the Democratic Party. Trump said, “If Joe had picked someone even halfway competent,” the Democrats “would have bounced him from office years ago.” “Our victory was so absolute that Joe’s own party now wants him to throw in the towel and surrender the presidency after a single 90-minute performance,” Trump said. “They want ‘Crooked Joe’ out of the race. It’s a shame the way they’re treating him. But don’t feel sorry for him. He’s a very bad guy.” After his debate against Trump, Biden has faced calls to step down as the Democrat’s 2024 presidential nominee as media, his own party, and America question his mental fitness and physical health. Biden has vowed to remain in the race. Trump said that it would not matter if Biden would be replaced, saying he would defeat whatever candidate the Democrats ran against him in November.  “Despite all the Democrat panic this week, the truth is, it doesn’t matter who they nominate because we are going to beat any one of them in thundering landslides and this November’s going to be amazing,” he said. He specifically took shots at Harris, who some have suggested might take Biden’s place as the nominee, over her handling of the border crisis. Biden placed her in charge of combating illegal immigration, but Trump said that “she never showed up.”   Trump also alluded to speculation about who he would select to be his vice president.  “They probably think I’m going to be announcing that Marco is going to be vice president,” he said, referring to Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, who spoke at the rally. Trump said that Rubio “may or may not be there to vote” for a policy Trump has advocated for that would make money earned from tips tax-free. 

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro told Congress on Wednesday that there is “an informal pressure system” created by Democratic lawmakers, the White House, and brand safety organizations that boosts Left-wing media and silences conservative news outlets. Shapiro made his remarks on the alleged conspiracy against conservative media during his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. The Republican-led committee invited Shapiro to testify during its hearing on the Collusion in the Global Alliance for Responsible Media after releasing its report accusing the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) of strategizing to censor conservative content, including from The Daily Wire. “We are in the midst of a trust crisis in the world of media, which is because so many in the legacy media have lied in order to preserve Left-leaning narratives,” Shapiro said in his opening statement. “To take just the most recent example, we were told by the legacy media that President Biden was just fine. For years, anyone who questioned his health and mental fitness was trafficking in ‘cheap fakes.'” “Then President Biden went out and engaged in a full-scale mental collapse on stage in front of hundreds of millions of people. So we can see why Americans – at least Americans who are not Democrats – do not trust the media,” Shapiro added. “The question isn’t really why the legacy media have lost Americans’ trust – we know that answer. The question is why, despite that loss of trust, the legacy media continue to gain share in the advertising market.” Watch @benshapiro‘s opening statement in the House Judiciary Committee: pic.twitter.com/S0i47n7Vvl — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) July 10, 2024 The Daily Wire host then told lawmakers how social media companies have been pressured by Democrats, the media, and the White House to censor his and others’ content. Social media companies “have responded by adopting the standards of third-party Left-wing ‘informational safety’ groups like the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, or GARM,” Shapiro said. “GARM purportedly sets ‘brand safety’ standards – objective standards by which advertisers and platforms can supposedly determine just what sort of content ought to be deemed ‘safe’ for advertising,” he added. “In reality, GARM acts as a cartel. Its members account for 90 percent of ad spending in the United States — almost $1 trillion. In other words, if you’re not getting ad dollars from GARM members, it’s nearly impossible to run an ad-based business.” News outlets and political commentators from Breitbart to Joe Rogan have been subjected to coercive tactics from the White House and GARM, Shapiro told the lawmakers, adding that GARM’s standards “are highly subjective in theory, and they’re purely partisan in practice.” He added that The Daily Wire has “experienced this first-hand.” “In 2017 after Sen. [Dianne] Feinstein made her threats to bring the weight of government down on social media platforms, Daily Wire YouTube channels saw a one thousand percent increase in content enforcements over a two-year period,” Shapiro said. “Since 2021, after Democrat officials further turned up the heat on social media companies, my personal Facebook page has seen an over 80 percent drop in impressions.”  Shapiro then urged Congress to “stand up for the First Amendment.” “Congress can do so in two ways,” he said. “First, Congress must investigate the informal and perhaps formal arrangements between censorship cartels like GARM and executive branch agencies – The Daily Wire has already filed a federal lawsuit against the State Department for allegedly doing just this. Second, Congress can itself stop engaging in violation of free speech principles.”

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Wednesday morning did not provide a direct answer when she was asked if she wanted President Joe Biden to continue his campaign for president. The California Democrat was pressed on the issue on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and said she and other Democrats would support whatever Biden chooses to do. “It’s up to the president to decide if he is going to run,” Pelosi said. .@SpeakerPelosi asked about Biden's candidacy: "I want him to do whatever he decides to do. And that's the way it is. Whatever he decides we go with." pic.twitter.com/HqaRGtv2dP — Morning Joe (@Morning_Joe) July 10, 2024 “We’re all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short,” she added. Pelosi said Biden has the “overwhelming support of the caucus,” although she noted that “it’s not for me to say” since she no longer leads House Democrats. “But he’s beloved, he is respected, and people want him to make that decision,” she said. MSNBC’s Willie Geist countered, “He has said he has made the decision. He has said firmly this week he is going to run. Do you want him to run?” “I want him to do whatever he decides to do,” Pelosi responded. “And that’s the way it is. Whatever he decides, we go with.” Pelosi then shifted gears, saying Biden is “orchestrating” this week’s NATO conference “magnificently.” The former speaker said she told her fellow Democrats to refrain from expressing their opinions about Biden’s candidacy until after this week. “I’ve said, everyone, let’s just hold off, whatever you’re thinking either tell somebody privately, but you don’t have to put that out on the table until we see how we go this week,” Pelosi said. Biden’s campaign is facing a crisis among Democrats since his dismal debate performance last month against former President Donald Trump. Democrats are currently divided on Biden, and many have publicly expressed concerns that the president may not be up to the task of serving another four years or even campaigning for the next four months. Pelosi’s unenthusiastic remarks on Biden’s candidacy Wednesday come as other top Democrats, including Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), have declared their solid support for the president. Biden has made it clear he has no intention of dropping out. “I’m firmly committed to staying in this race,” Biden wrote in a letter to Congress on Monday. One Senate Democrat is warning that Biden is likely to lose in November. “Donald Trump is on track, I think, to win this election — and maybe win it by a landslide — and take with him the Senate and the House,” Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) said on CNN.

Thanks to his hit album, Stick Season, Noah Kahan’s massive fanbase continues to grow. That’s because his music is amazing, of course, but it’s also because of who he is as a person. The way Noah Kahan handled a minor injury last night is the perfect example of this. Just a bit before his show at The Greek Theatre in Berkeley, California, the iconic singer was playing pickleball. As a result, he tore his calf. Although his injury wasn’t too serious, he was still unable to walk or stand like normal. But that didn’t stop Kahan from following through with the show anyway. That said, in order to make that happen, he had to get clever. This resulted in Kahan rolling onto the stage via scooter. From here, he was able to tell fans what happened, all in his humorous way, of course!

The cost of going back to school to become a doctor is unattainable for most Americans, especially those who want to stay out of debt. This means that so many people who would be incredible, life-saving medical professionals are forced to choose another career path. This isn’t good for anyone, of course, which is why Michael Bloomberg is donating $1 billion dollars to Johns Hopkins Medical School. But what will that impact look like for students? Starting in the fall, medical students from families who earn less than $300,000 will have their tuition covered in full. For those who earn less than $175,000, living expenses and fees will also be covered. How incredible is that!? @todayshow Johns Hopkins medical school will be free for most students starting this fall, after alum #MichaelBloomberg made a $1 billion donation. #TODAYShow ♬ original sound – TODAY Show According to Bloomberg Philanthropies, this donation will impact a huge portion of the school’s students. At the moment, nearly two-thirds of the Johns Hopkins’ student population qualifies for the financial aid. Plus, 45% qualify for the additional help with living expenses. As a result, the average loans will decrease from $104,000 to $60,278 by 2029. Michael Bloomberg Makes a Life-Changing $1 Billion Dollar Donation for Medical Students at Johns Hopkins University “By reducing the financial barriers to these essential fields, we can free more students to pursue careers they’re passionate about — and enable them to serve more of the families and communities who need them the most,” Bloomberg says of his donation. This isn’t the first time a medical school has received such a generous donation. Similarly, Ruth Gottesman donated $1 billion to the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, making tuition free for current and future students. This benefits the students, of course, but it also benefits their future patients and the communities they’ll call home! “Mike has really been moved by the challenges that the professions confronted during the course of the pandemic … ” Ron Daniels, president of the school says. “I think he simply wanted to recognize the importance of these fields and provide this support to ensure that the best and brightest could attend medical school and the school of nursing and public health.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
