President Joe Biden crumbled in his debate Thursday with former President Donald Trump in Atlanta, prompting even his biggest boosters at allied news outlets to eulogize his campaign. While Biden's garbled answers, bouts of confusion, and departures from reality were damning enough for the 81-year-old Democrat, his wife found a way to make matters worse. Footage captured by CNN shows former President Donald Trump confidently stride off the CNN debate hall stage following the ordeal. His opponent, however, would not exit unaided. Jill Biden can be seen carefully taking the president's hand and slowly leading him down roughly three steps. The juxtaposition of the brutal debate with Biden's subsequent need for direction and a crutch prompted some critics to speculate about the first lady's real role as well as her silence in the face of the president's unmistakable decrepitude. 'Shameful actions as a wife.' Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) responded to the video, "Who is the Commander in Chief?" Conservative commentator Laura Ingraham noted, "She did this. Embarrassed him, his party and destroyed the country's border and economy by letting him run. Horrible." Former ESPN host Sage Steele tweeted, "Shame on Jill Biden for allowing this to go on for so very long. Shameful actions as a wife. Shameful actions as a human being." Some critics asked whether CNN had accidentally broadcast one of the so-called "cheap fakes" its talking heads previously joined the White House in concern-mongering about. A video went viral earlier this month of Obama having to escort Biden off the stage at a fundraising event after the president locked up in front of an audience. "They are cheap-fakes video," said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. "They are done in bad faith." Jill Biden did not promptly escort Biden back home Thursday, but rather to a watch party, where she would humiliate him again, this time in front of a crowd of supporters. Joe Biden spent over a week at Camp David preparing for the debate. With the help of over a dozen current and former aides, the New York Times indicated he engaged in multiple strategy sessions and practiced on a mock debate stage. According to the suggestion Thursday by CNN's Erin Burnett, he might also have received the questions to run through in advance. In light of the investment of time, money, and energy in debate preparation, there was likely some expectation of a passable showing. Jill Biden indicated, however, just how low the bar had been set. When introducing the leader of the free world, Jill Biden said, "Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question." "And let me ask the crowd: What did Trump do? Lie!" added the first lady. While many critics suggested Jill Biden's commendation of the president for the satisfaction of the bare minimum was condescending, others suggested it was indicative instead of a deluded sense he might actually have done all right — a sense anchored in a desire to hold on to power. Late Thursday night, Jill Biden released a video claiming, "He's the president we need — the president you deserve." Like Blaze News?

“Dr. Who” has been a fan favorite for the 60 years it’s been on air, but with its recent record low ratings on Disney Plus — that’s all changing. “Not only is the show absolutely not doing well, but it is failing spectacularly. Like it is doing so poorly,” Lauren Chen of “Pseudo-Intellectual” comments, noting that the “show has been on the decline for a while now.” Since the first episode of the season, fewer and fewer people are tuning in for more. The issues began with the portrayal of Dr. Who — who is now a crossdressing black man — and went downhill from there. “They were so focused on trying to pander to black people and queer people and get them interested in the show, they forgot about welcoming, like, just actual Dr. Who fans to watch the show,” Chen says. “In fact, sometimes, they did the exact opposite. They told those fans to not watch the show if they weren’t happy with being force-fed progressive propaganda, and I’m not even kidding,” she adds. The main actor has told people to not watch the show, addressing his critics in an April 2024 interview with Variety’s Ellise Shafer by saying, “Don’t watch. Turn off the TV. Go and touch grass, please, for God’s sake.” This same sentiment was shared by a drag queen who plays a villain in the show. “I know a lot of people might not even watch this season of 'Dr. Who' because it’s taking such a decisively queer step. However, if they watch, I think they’ll see that we’re just actors playing characters. And if they don’t watch it, then who needs ‘em? I truly believe that for every fan we lose to transphobia, we’re going to have two to three more coming in because they’re excited for trans representation,” Jinkx Monsoon said. “How is that prediction working out for you?” Chen laughs.

The National Border Patrol Council, which represents approximately 18,000 agents and support personnel, took to social media in the middle of Thursday evening's CNN Presidential Debate to set the record straight after President Joe Biden claimed the group endorsed his presidential run.During the debate, Biden was asked why voters should trust him to solve the border crisis.'None of this mess was here during the last administration.'"We worked very hard to get a bipartisan agreement that not only changed all of that, it made sure that we were never in a situation where you had no circumstance where they could come across the border with the number of border police there are now. We significantly increased the number of asylum officers," Biden responded."By the way, the Border Patrol endorsed me. Endorsed my position," he claimed.While the debate was still underway, NBPC posted on X in response to Biden's statement, "To be clear, we never have and never will endorse Biden."Biden's comment during the debate that Border Patrol endorsed him may have been referring to the union's lukewarm support of the Senate bill introduced in February. The union referred to the legislation as "not perfect" but "far better" than nothing.In an earlier post, the union wrote, "Biden claimed this morning that Congressional Republicans have blocked his hiring of thousands of Border Patrol Agents. In reality, Republicans have actually funded more agents in recent appropriations bills in spite of Biden—not because of him."The Border Patrol union wished Trump "luck" in the debate and noted that it hoped he would have "enough time to point out all of the ways Biden's border policies have failed."The union has been an outspoken critic of Biden's open border policies that have resulted in over 2.8 million illegal aliens entering the country. In a June statement, the group noted that the number of illegal immigrants allowed into the United States under Biden is "more than the population of Chicago, our third-largest city." The union slammed the president for previously claiming that he could not use his executive power to "fix the abuse of the asylum system.""Now, less than six months before the election, he claims he suddenly has the authority to act," the statement read. "Under his new rules, there is no cap on the number of people who can be let into the country through a port of entry on the southwest border.""At a minimum," the union stressed, "his order will allow almost 1.5 million people — the population of San Antonio — into the country every year. We don't call that a solution!"The Biden administration has claimed that apprehensions at the southern border have dropped 40% since the president signed the executive order. However, NBPC Vice President Art Del Cueto told Fox Business that the White House is not counting gotaways."They can cut the number of individuals that are being apprehended, or that they're saying are encounters, but they can't factor in the gotaways," Del Cueto explained. "You can play with the numbers and that's part of the problem."Additionally, the number of illegal aliens being granted entry into the U.S. through the Biden administration's CBP One application are not being counted as border encounters."That's a different count," Del Cueto told Fox Business. "What we need to remember is, none of this mess was here during the last administration. It became a mess day one of this administration." Like Blaze News?

Between Biden’s incoherent bumbling and Trump’s redirections — there’s no doubt that the 2024 CNN Presidential Debate was one for the history books. Stu Burguiere calls it “one of the most incredible nights” he’s “ever witnessed,” noting that it was an absolute “disgrace.” “The world superpower supposedly has a man like that leading it. We looked weak. We looked pathetic, and honestly, it was a disgrace,” he continues, before asking Sara Gonzales for her take on the debate. “Well, the country’s over, and I need a drink,” Gonzales says, floored by what she’d just seen. “I feel a lot of anger, I feel a lot of sadness, I do feel a lot of fear watching that,” she continues, adding that “we still have seven more months of this guy not really making decisions but appearing to make decisions.” “The stakes have never been higher for Donald Trump to win this. I am very scared for my country if he does not,” she adds. “We simply cannot afford four more years of this. We just can’t. I don’t know if we have a country left to survive after that.” While the left has maintained that Donald Trump is erratic and should not be handling foreign conflicts — it seems that Biden's cognitive decline is far, far worse for foreign policy than the orange villain the Democrats created in their heads. “I mean, that was the thought and then you look at the state of the world now with all the problems that we’re having, and you look at this guy potentially being the one the head of it, I mean, it’s just, I never have felt more terrified, honestly, for the future of our country,” Stu says. While Stu and Sara are terrified, Steve Deace is hopeful. “I think that it’s way more likely the 25th Amendment is going to get invoked than Joe Biden will be re-elected. There is no way he will be re-elected,” Deace tells Sara and Stu. “Their entire coalition is in existential peril. If you keep him on the ballot, you risk tainting your entire party with essentially going out for the next six months and telling people you didn’t see what you all just saw.” Want more from Stu?To enjoy more of Stu's lethal wit, wisdom, and mockery, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

I'm a European who isn't happy with the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) and its impact on the future of the iPhone. But the EU does have other initiatives that might change the way Apple designs iPhones for the better. These policies would benefit iPhone users worldwide. Specifically, the EU wants batteries in consumer devices like smartphones to be easier to replace. It's all part of legislation meant to reduce battery waste, and the iPhone will not be spared. Apple has several years to ensure the iPhone's battery is easier to swap with a replacement. That doesn't mean the iPhone will feature batteries the user can easily replace at home. In fact, I highly recommand you visit a certified repair shop to service your battery rather than using DIY tools to take the iPhone apart. As a longtime iPhone user who routinely changes old iPhone batteries with new ones, I'm happy to see mounting evidence that Apple is already planning ahead to ensure the iPhone eventually adheres to these new guidelines. A new report says Apple is working on an iPhone battery featuring a metallic enclosure. This would remove the glue that holds these batteries in place. The tech could debut in at least one iPhone 16 model this year, so Apple can test it out on a mass-produced device. I'm now convinced the iPhone 16 Pro Max could serve as Apple's testbed for the new technology. That's because a different battery report concerning the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro Max mentioned similar upgrades for the handset. Continue reading...
