Congressional Report: CIA Interfered in 2020 Election, Colluded with Biden Campaign to Discredit Hunter Biden Laptop Story
The CIA interfered in the 2020 election by colluding with the Biden campaign to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story, a congressional report found Tuesday.
“It’s inappropriate for a currently serving staff officer or contractor to be involved in the political process,” former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell acknowledged to Congress during its investigation of the incident.

Abortion Giant Planned Parenthood Will Dump $40 Million to Boost Biden, Democrats
Abortion giant Planned Parenthood announced it is spending $40 million to prop up 81-year-old President Joe Biden and Democrats in key congressional races ahead of November, The Hill reported. The organization, which was founded by an infamous racist with ties to the eugenics movement, made the announcement on Monday to coincide with the second anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision.
The Dobbs decision overturned the court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision — which had invented a constitutional right to abortion for 50 years — and returned the issue of abortion to individual states.
The funding blitz comes as Biden and Democrats around the country continue to make abortion the centerpiece of their campaigns, rather than addressing other pressing issues. For his part, Biden has promised to restore Roe v. Wade if he is reelected, and has repeatedly framed former President Donald Trump and Republicans as dangerous to women. Democrats are hoping to use the issue of abortion, along with abortion ballot measures in several states, to stir outrage and boost voter turnout. The group will first invest in battleground presidential states, including Wisconsin, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona, according to the report. The abortion giant will also dump money on congressional races in Montana, New Hampshire, and New York, which could potentially tip the balance of the House and Senate.

Donald Trump Pledges to Return Jailed Pro-Lifers to Their Families if Elected
Former President Donald Trump said he would work to free pro-life activists prosecuted and imprisoned by the pro-abortion Biden administration, should he be elected, Catholic News Agency (CNA) reported on Tuesday.
During a June 22 speech to the Faith and Freedom Coalition, Trump specifically mentioned the case of 75-year-old Paulette Harlow, who was sentenced to 24 months in prison for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and for “conspiracy against rights” in a 2020 protest at a D.C. abortion clinic infamous for late-term abortions.

Election Interference: Google Search Results Favor Joe Biden, Bury Donald Trump’s Campaign Site
Google is up to its regular election tricks, according to the Media Research Center. An MRC investigation found that when searching for a candidates’ name with “presidential race 2024,” Joe Biden’s campaign website is the top result, while Donald Trump’s campaign website doesn’t appear on the first page.
The MRC reports that as the 2024 presidential race heats up, concerns are growing about the role of technology giants in shaping public opinion and access to information. A recent investigation MRC has uncovered what they claim to be evidence of bias in Google’s search results, potentially impacting the visibility of presidential candidates’ campaign websites.
The MRC’s research, conducted just days before tonight’s highly anticipated presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, revealed stark differences in how Google presents search results for various candidates. When searching for a candidate’s name along with “presidential race 2024,” researchers found that President Biden’s campaign website appeared as the top result, while former President Trump’s website was notably absent from the first page of results.
This discrepancy has led to accusations of election interference. MRC President Brent Bozell stated, “Google is blatantly interfering in the 2024 election.” The organization’s findings suggest that the issue extends beyond just these two candidates, with pro-life candidates seemingly receiving less favorable treatment in search rankings.
The study involved two sets of search queries. The first set focused on individual candidates, while the second examined results for party-specific searches. In both cases, researchers noted significant disparities in how different candidates’ websites were ranked.
For the party-specific searches, the results were equally concerning to the MRC. A search for “republican party presidential campaign websites” placed Trump’s campaign site at the 39th position out of 40 results, while a similar search for Democratic candidates prominently featured Biden’s website at the top.
Red State Responds to Trump-Biden Presidential Debate

Biden Completely Implodes on Charlottesville Lie, Ends Up Arguing Against Himself
Joe Biden just imploded all over that debate. From the constant blank-eyed look on his face to the hyper-accelerated responses that sounded like he was on something, it was truly bizarre from the outset. It was clear that if you were looking at it objectively and seeing Biden, he lost from the very beginning.
But he really went over the slide when he began to accuse former President Donald Trump of the Charlottesville lie that he likes to tell, which was roundly debunked by Snopes this past week. Apparently, no one told Biden. Biden spoke about “swastikas on torches?” Biden had no idea what he was saying. But he doesn’t care, he’s just lying his head off.
Trump just decimated him in his response. Trump pointed out that even the moderators knew this was a lie and that Snopes had debunked it. The moderators weren’t fact-checking anything in real-time during the debate, but Trump was right, as Jake Tapper debunked it years ago:
Biden then even ended up arguing against himself, saying he never said Charlottesville was why he ran for president in 2020 despite the fact that he said it repeatedly. Even though it was a lie that, as we noted, was debunked repeatedly over the years, he still keeps saying it. But now the lying is going to cost him big time because he got nailed on it good live during the debate. It was an absolute train wreck.

This May Be the Most Incoherent Biden Moment of the Debate
I don’t know what they did to hype Joe Biden up for the debate. Whatever it was, he sounded like he was on speed at the beginning. As the debate went on, he got slower and more confused. He kept staring with this blank look on his face that was frankly scary.
But there was one moment that was truly bizarre when they were talking about abortion. Biden tried to respond and it was practically incoherent. I think he was talking about people getting abortions in the case of rape, but he started talking about incest and then claimed that women being raped by their “brothers and sisters” were seeking abortions. What the heck? Odd that Biden wants to talk about incest. Women raping their sisters? Does he even know what he’s saying? Don’t answer that — we know he doesn’t. Meanwhile, most abortions have nothing to do with rape. There were a lot of moments where Biden said things that were nuts, but this truly went over the slide.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump hit it out of the park on virtually every issue. He was calm, measured, knowledgeable, and gave facts, while Biden flailed, lied, and made no sense. At this point, no one with any credibility could say that Biden did anything other than implode.

Trump Lands a Knock-Out Blow Early in the Debate
The senility that has become a hallmark of Biden’s public appearances exploded onto the scene just minutes into the debate. Whatever the drug cocktail team whipped up, they got the dosage wrong, and he’s been slurring, mixing up names, and outright losing his train of thought. Because of that, it didn’t take long for Trump to deliver a knock-out blow. This will end up being the clip of the night, in my opinion.
The internet lit up with responses after that moment, and for good reason. The contrast between Biden slurring and making no sense to end an answer and Trump quickly reacting with humor was stark. Yes, their ages are similar, but there’s no doubt the former president is far more mentally and physically fit for the office, and this debate is making that clear. Meanwhile, Biden’s brain just continued to break.
I honestly thought Biden would be prepared to go for at least a half hour before he started to crash. That he started this debate in such bad shape is a fire-alarm fire for Democrats. They can’t let this guy be the nominee.
Does that mean he’ll actually get replaced? Well, that’s another issue entirely given how difficult it would be to jettison an incumbent president at the convention, but after tonight, they have to try, right? And I’ll just note that I haven’t even mentioned the actual merits of the topics discussed. On that front, the former president surpassed (at least so far) expectations. Trump didn’t win the election tonight because you can’t win a presidential election in June, but man, did he take a sprinter’s lead.

Trump Outmaneuvers Weakened Biden with Master Class Debate Performance
While everyone is understandably focused on Democrat President Joe Biden’s complete disaster of a performance in Thursday evening’s debate, gone missing in the post-debate analysis is just how effective his Republican opponent former President Donald Trump was in his own showing.
Trump, from the get-go, had a clear message he hammered Biden with all night: That Biden “has done a poor job” as President and life was better for Americans during Trump’s administration. And from the first few minutes of it, Trump had effectively framed the conversation on terms that were his: the discussion was about the economy, and Trump inserted into that talk of Biden’s failed withdrawal from Afghanistan and Biden’s open borders immigration policies. But even when the debate and conversation moved into areas that are typically Democrat strengths and GOP weaknesses, Trump swatted away concerns and moved deftly through a coherent policy vision while Biden struggled to score points on things like abortion and January 6 and the various hoaxes against Trump over the years.
The debate opened on the biggest issue facing the country—the economy—and Biden struggled from the get-go with the first question, offering a frail defense of how bad things are now by blaming Trump, but Trump in his first answer deftly laid out how the economy was very strong until COVID came in and then when he left office, he gave Biden a mostly-recovered economy.
“We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We have never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us,” Trump said, per CNN’s rush transcript of the debate.

Joe Biden Admits Donald Trump ‘Knocked Him down’ in Debate
President Joe Biden admitted Friday that former President Donald Trump “knocked him down” in Thursday night’s debate. Pressure is mounting on Biden to step down, as many Democrats and media members displayed hysteria following the disastrous event. Donors are reportedly backing away from Biden’s reelection campaign. Sixty-seven percent said Trump won the debate, a CNN flash poll of debate watchers found Thursday night.
The debate averaged 47.9 million viewers, short of the 2020 amount of 73.132 million total viewers, the third most watched of all-time, IndieWire reported. In his first appearance after the debate, Biden admitted that his performance fell short of standards.
“I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to,” he told a crowd in Raleigh, North Carolina. “I know, like millions of Americans know, when you get knocked down, you get back up,” he said, as the attendees cheered.

Body Language Expert’s Brutal take on Biden’s Debate Against Trump: ‘Like a Dead Man’
President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump squared off in their high-stakes 2024 election debate rematch on Thursday and the contrast between the pair could not have been more stark, body language expert Susan Constantine tells Fox News.
Constantine says the physical difference between the candidates was noticeable from the moment they both took the stage in Atlanta, and that set the tone for the rest of the evening, with Trump purveying strength and confidence in his mannerisms while Biden showed a tired and slow demeanor, made worse by his raspy voice, mumbled answers and oftentimes dazed looks.
“I was really concerned because the minute (Biden) walked out on that stage, I felt he (was) not feeling good,” Constantine said. “His skin was pale, it was pasty, and he literally looked like a dead man walking.”

Report: Biden to Discuss Future of Presidential Campaign with Family After Debate Performance
President Joe Biden reportedly plans to discuss the future of his presidential campaign with his family after his performance at Thursday’s debate.
Several sources close to the matter told NBC News the topic will be broached at Camp David this weekend.
During the presidential debate, Biden appeared to freeze and look confused. Biden also spoke with a hoarse-sounding voice and mumbled, which, the Biden campaign attributed to him having a “cold.”
Biden was also unable to deliver his prepared closing statement without making errors.
The outlet noted two sources claimed Democrats such as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D), and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had “expressed concerns” about Biden’s ability to serve another term in private.
