American voters are broadly skeptical that President Joe Biden is mentally fit to serve a second term, and most do not think his potential general election rival Donald Trump is mentally fit either, according to a Quinnipiac University poll published Wednesday. Sixty-four percent of respondents in the poll said Biden was mentally unfit for another term, a bleak data point for the president in a survey where he nonetheless outperformed his topline numbers in many other polls. Fifty-one percent of voters told the pollster they did not think Trump was mentally fit for a second term on Pennsylvani...

“Most Americans have no idea why Putin invaded Ukraine or what his goals are now,” the pundit-poodle Tucker Carlson observed before his Feb. 6 interview of Russian President Vladimir Putin. “They’ve never heard his voice. That’s wrong.” What total claptrap. We’ve never been under any illusions about why Putin invaded Ukraine, his being a naked grab for power and control at the expense of a sovereign nation. Putin’s goals, any fool can see, are the subjugation of a proud and independent people with (for the record) a long history here in Chicago. This particular editorial board would be delight...

Former President Donald Trump endorsed downstate U.S. Rep. Mike Bost for reelection Tuesday, dealing a major blow to Darren Bailey’s insurgent challenge in one of the nation’s most closely watched Republican primary races. Bost, a five-term congressman from Murphysboro, and Bailey, a former state legislator from Xenia who was the losing Republican candidate for governor in 2022, each had sought the backing of the former president for the March 19 GOP primary in the state’s 12th Congressional District, an overwhelmingly Republican rural district that makes up roughly the bottom third of the sta...

A letter from Abraham Lincoln, after decades of being locked up inside a private collector’s desk, has resurfaced. According to WHYY, a letter signed by the late president “in the final hours of his life” is now being offered for $45,000 by Raab Collection. The Ardmore-based company which researches, buys, and sells documents of historical figures, purchased the letter from an anonymous owner. Collection president Nathan Raab told The Inquirer that he received a call from a woman who found the document after going through her late husband’s writing desk. There was initially “great interest tem...

Democrats found reasons for optimism after scoring a special congressional election victory in swing Long Island territory last week, but President Joe Biden continues to show signs of weakness in deep-blue New York, according to a statewide Siena College poll published Tuesday. Biden, who romped to a 23-point victory over former President Donald Trump in New York in the 2020 election, leads his Republican rival by 12 points in a hypothetical rematch, the Siena survey found. Biden’s approval rating in New York is underwater at 45%, according to the poll. More voters — 41% — said they would pre...

Trump compares Alexei Navalny’s death to his own legal woes, US problemsFormer President Donald Trump stopped short Monday of condemning the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny — but drew a curious comparison between it and his own legal troubles. “The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has made me more and more aware of what is happening in our Country,” the ex-president wrote in a morning post on Truth Social. “It is a slow, steady progression, with CROOKED, Radical Left Politicians, Prosecutors, and Judges leading us down a path to destruction. Open Borders, Rigged Elections, and ...

Through a sea of boos (and some cheers) Donald Trump announced his inaugural venture into the sneaker world at Philadelphia’s Sneaker Con. The Saturday launch marked the first time a former U.S. president has unveiled a sneaker line — and some say that’s for good reason. The metallic gold high-tops — priced at $400 and limited to 1,000 pairs — sold out within the day. But sneakerheads say they aren’t the ones purchasing them. Online, the shoes were quickly mocked for their slightly off resemblance to Nike Air Force 1′s and Jordan 1′s. “Scammer 1′s,” Alvin Blanco at Hip-Hop Wired called them in...

CHICAGO — A Cook County judge said Friday she will decide late next week the fate of a legal challenge seeking to strike former President Donald Trump’s name from Illinois’ March 19 Republican primary ballot. Judge Tracie Porter announced her plans after a near four-hour Daley Center hearing that featured footage of the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol as attorneys for Trump sought to cast the challenge to the former president’s place on the ballot as a political attempt to “abuse the election code of Illinois.” Caryn Lederer, representing the group of voters backed by the group Free ...

District Attorney Fani Willis and a top lieutenant in the Georgia racketeering case against former President Donald Trump Thursday both admitted on the witness stand that they had a sexual affair but denied any impropriety that could impact the case. In a dramatic courtroom moment, Willis rose and told the court that she would take the stand: “I’m ready to go.” The Atlanta prosecutor angrily rebutted salacious claims that her affair with prosecutor Nathan Wade amounted to an impermissible conflict of interest in the explosive case against Trump for allegedly seeking to steal the presidential e...

Lately in this year of 2024, things have gone kaboom for super-ambitious Joe Biden even though it was just a few years ago in his virtual half century in politics that he was elected president. It was at least partly because he and his multiple faults hid out in a basement by way of quiet campaigning, just as his trouble now is that some of those faults are out in the open. Yes, it’s true that the COVID outbreak could have made open-air hustle and bustle dangerous to Biden’s health as well as to his reputation through more action in tune with his character. After all, he had to drop out of one...
