#1 – Jill Biden’s facial expression during Joe’s speech says it all – by Nick Arama
But one of the things I found remarkable about all of this — aside from the fact that the Democrats think they can foist this on us — was how dejected all the Bidens looked now that they were about to be thrown out of office, especially Jill and Hunter. I don’t feel the slightest bit sorry for them after everything Joe did to the country. Their hold on power is rapidly coming to an end and they don’t look elated at all. Well, that’s a great thing.

The look on Jill’s face in the following two pictures says it all – she is so upset.
#2 – EXCLUSIVE: Sources say Joe Biden suffered a neurological episode before abruptly leaving Las Vegas – by Jennifer Van Laar
Nearly a week ago, President Joe Biden abruptly canceled a speech in Las Vegas after mingling with voters at a Mexican restaurant. Organizers of the event were the first to announce that Biden had tested positive for COVID and said he was flying to his beach house in Delaware to isolate.
Given the Biden administration’s lack of truthfulness regarding the president’s health, many people questioned whether this COVID diagnosis was a convenient way to get Biden out of the spotlight for a few days, or if there was more to the story. Based on reporting by Charlie Kirk and Jordan Schachtel, portions of which were independently confirmed by RedState’s Brittany Sheehan, and exclusive details provided to RedState by a credible source in good standing, the skepticism seems justified. According to these sources, Biden had a sudden medical emergency and was en route to the University Medical Center trauma center before his team decided to “medivac” him out instead, and this medical emergency was some sort of neurological event like a transient ischemic attack.
#3 – WATCH: Dave McCormick’s new ad, ‘No Mercy,’ exposing Kamala Harris’ past is getting people talking – by Sister Toldjah
And to show how much Republicans are “afraid” of Harris, Dave McCormick, the Republican Senate candidate from Pennsylvania, said witness the assassination attempt on Donald Trump while sitting in the front row of the Butler campaign rally – has released a new, powerful 90-second ad linking his Democratic opponent, Senator Bob Casey Jr., to Harris.
It raises a lot of criticism of Harris’s radical left stance on issues like crime, illegal immigration, energy policy, and even meat consumption, making a powerful argument that people who were already worried about Joe Biden’s positions on these issues will be even more worried about hers.
#4 – Frank Biden made a stunning admission about Joe’s health that suggests we were lied to – then it gets weird – by Nick Arama
Frank Biden told CBS he was selfishly elated to have Joe Biden back for “what time we have left.” Then, when asked if his brother’s health played a role in the decision to drop out of the race, he said his health “absolutely” played a “significant role” in his decision.
“However much time we have left” sounds ominous. Is this just an acknowledgement that he is 81, or is it a hint of something we are not being told?
And wait a minute, didn’t the White House and Biden himself tell us that he was in good health and able to walk? So you think they lied to us?
#5 – Signs of life? Hear Biden call campaign headquarters and Kamala answer – by Nick Arama
He doesn’t say what that “news” is, but he later admits he “won’t be on the ballot.” He says he will continue to try to aid her and encourages her to give Kamala “her whole heart and soul.” He claimed former President Donald Trump is “still a danger to the community, to the nation.”
He didn’t slur or hesitate as much as usual, and his voice seemed stronger than it had recently. But he had some of his usual themes and filler words. He sounded a little nasal at times.
People still had doubts, especially when they heard Harris say, “Joe, I know you’re still on the phone.” It’s not clear what she meant by that. But this is so embarrassing. She said they spoke every day.
