Biden’s willful ignorance toward China’s acts of economic aggression goes back decades. While serving in the Senate, he voted to grant the Communist regime “most favored nation” trading status, and later supported China’s admission into the World Trade Organization. Advocates claimed this would force China to play by the rules of international trade, but Beijing’s cheating remained as brazen as ever, and millions of American jobs were shipped across the Pacific....

He told the team to not “give up on this fight. This is not over yet.” In the same tweet, Biden tagged U.S. Soccer’s Twitter account and said, “Equal pay, now. Or else when I’m president, you can go elsewhere for World Cup funding.” The men’s FIFA World Cup is coming to North America in 2026, with sites in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Molly Levinson, a spokesperson for the USWNT members who filed the suit, tweeted Friday that the players will appeal U....

Biden’s visit to the region began with a trip to Israel on Wednesday where he was expected to observe a policy of not shaking hands with the people he met due to concerns regarding COVID-19. White House aides had reported that he would avoid handshakes during the Middle East trip and initially he appeared to do so. Upon arriving at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport, he offered a fist bump to Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid and President Isaac Herzog....

In 2011, then-President Barack Obama held a roundtable with Latino journalists at the White House, where they pressed him on his reluctance, given the deadlocked Congress, to wield the administrative powers of his office on behalf of immigrants. “We live in a democracy,” Obama chastised the group, arguing that his hands were tied. “You have to pass bills through the legislature, and then I can sign it.” In fact, as Obama would finally demonstrate in his second term—when he enacted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and a scaled back Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)—the administrative powers of the executive branch relating to immigration are enormous, a lesson President Donald Trump has certainly underscored during the past four years....

The former vice president must avoid picking another white male, or a candidate who appeals to groups that already favor him, the strategists told Newsweek. One doubted there would ever again be an all-white male ticket. A woman of color running for the vice presidency could excite progressives disappointed that their candidates lost out on the party nomination. “I think there is a very real movement within the party to see a woman as the vice presidential nominee,” Don Calloway of Pine Street Strategies told Newsweek....

“In America, the vote is sacred. It’s how people of this nation express their will,” the Democratic nominee said during a brief presser at the Queen Theater in Wilmington, Delaware. “And it is the will of the voters—no one, not anything else—that chooses the president of the United States of America. So each ballot must be counted.” As of Thursday afternoon, Biden held a lead in the Electoral College. According to the tally from the Associated Press, the Democratic nominee had 264 electoral votes compared with President Donald Trump’s 214 electoral votes....

But before the Late Show host enjoys a much-deserved summer vacation, he got to chat via web video with one of his most important guests yet: Former Vice President and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Simply put, the 77-year-old was sure he was going to win the 2020 presidential election....

Trump has pat himself on the back for the ability for science to bring about a COVID-19 vaccine in one year and officials have credited his administration’s financial commitment to helping bring the vaccine to the public in record time. While the White House often tries to contrast Biden’s approach with Trump’s, on Tuesday, Biden gave Trump credit for helping to bring about the COVID-19 vaccine. “Thanks to the prior administration and our scientific community, America was one of the first countries to get the vaccine,” Biden said....

Darren Rovell of The Action Network reported that a pornography website dangled $1 million to get Buck to do play-by-play commentary of live webcam sessions.

The podcast host was forced to edit an Instagram post after he condemned what he thought was a health ad about the COVID-19 vaccine turned out to be a comedy skit. Rogan lashed out at Australia and called the country and its pandemic response “dystopian” when he confused the skit for government “propaganda” against vaccine skeptics. The Joe Rogan Experience host shared a clip of a sketch from ABC show Gruen on his Instagram page on Monday with the caption: “Not only has Australia had the worst reaction to the pandemic with dystopian, police-state measures that are truly inconceivable to the rest of the civilized world, but they also have the absolute dumbest propaganda....
