In the ad, Lamon is dressed as a Western sheriff who engages in a showdown with actors meant to represent President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly. The Democrats—identified as “Old Joe,” “Crazyface Pelosi” and “Shifty Kelly”—are portrayed as outsider villains in the Western town setting. Lamon wards off their threat by shooting the guns out of their hands with his pistol. The ad and its airing, which Lamon’s campaign told Newsweek will end up costing the candidate up to six figures, quickly drew outrage on social media....

Butler, 26, who became Rose’s teammate after being drafted out of Marquette in 2011, began his tribute by calling Rose “My point guard, my brother” and then, among other things, wrote to his “teammate and friend": “You helped shape me in the player I am today.” MORE: Rose had to leave Chicago, but Knicks overpaid You see, the NBA is a business, but, as in all businesses, players build personal relationships with their co-workers that go beyond the business at hand....

Dore promoted the largely uncritical interview with the militia member Magnus Panvidya by tweeting: “I interviewed a member of the Boogaloo Boys [sic], I was completely floored when he said he is: Pro LGBTQ, Pro Black Lives Matter, Anti Police Brutality, Anti Racism, Anti ICE, Anti War WTF?!?!” During the episode, Dore opens the show by assuming that Panvidya “is genuine” when he expresses a number of liberal views and calls for unity with the Left despite being a member of an extremist movement....

Lance didn’t get much of a chance to prove himself in his first season as the team’s official starting quarterback, playing in a monsoon in Chicago in Week 1 before suffering an ankle injury just moments into the 49ers’ Week 2 matchup with the Seahawks. When the 49ers failed to find a proper trade return for Garoppolo in the offseason, they elected to hold on to their former starting quarterback, and the decision has already paid dividends....

Go forth, he urged his financial brain trust, and bring back the boldest, most ambitious proposals they’d ever dreamed of to reshape the U.S. economy, with an eye toward making it more fair for all Americans and less easily unhinged by a future crisis like the coronavirus pandemic. Should he unseat Donald Trump in the November election, the challenge before him would be at least on par with what Franklin Delano Roosevelt contended with when he came to power in 1933....

Additionally, the president, unlike his immediate predecessor, did not undergo a test of his cognitive abilities, CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta said. During an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Anderson Cooper 360, Gupta was asked if Biden had taken any type of exam to measure his mental state. “There’s been a lot of focus on his cognitive abilities, questions raised by opponents and others, and in 2018 the former president [Donald Trump] had a test that measured mental acuity, was that part of today’s test?...

Senator Rick Scott, a Florida Republican, took to Twitter to voice his concern saying, “either Joe Biden is an absolute hypocrite or completely clueless. Probably both. We need to get to the bottom of this. How long has he had these…6+ years?” “Time for accountability,” Scott continued. According to the Associated Press, lawyers for Biden announced on Saturday that five more classified documents were found in the President’s Delaware home on Thursday....

After Trump repeatedly referred to allegations that Hunter’s profited off of his father’s standing as vice president in Hunter’s Ukrainian and Chinese business dealings, debate moderator asked Joe to address the allegations. “In retrospect, was anything about those relationships and appropriate or unethical?” Welker asked. “Nothing was unethical,” Biden said. “We had this whole question about whether or not because he was on the board, I later learned, of Burisma, a company, that somehow I had done something wrong....

However, Americans still appear skeptical about the nation’s economic gains, reflected in a largely gloomy outlook in recent polling, while Biden’s approval rating remains in negative territory. The U.S. has suffered serious economic issues this year, with soaring inflation in October and major problems in the global supply chain leading to a backlog of cargo ships at some ports. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for October recorded a 6.2 percent increase year on year - its highest level in 30 years - and inflation has quickly become a major political concern as Democrats attempt to pass the $1....

His inauguration came after the oath of office was taken by Vice President Kamala Harris, who was sworn in as the first woman, and the first Black American and South Asian American, to serve in the position. Meanwhile, Biden, at 78, is the oldest president to assume the office. “This is America’s day, this is democracy’s day. A day of history and hope, of renewal and resolve,” Biden said in his first remarks as president....

A return to compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal would, according to its supporters, end the immediate threat of a nuclear-armed Iran and take the heat out of simmering tensions across the Middle East, allowing Biden to refocus U.S. foreign policy on its next great challenges, especially China. The Biden administration and President Hassan Rouhani’s government in Tehran both want to revive the JCPOA. But their window is closing. The U....

Speaking at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on Thursday, Biden reaffirmed that the plan “doesn’t include shutdowns or lockdowns” but would be vaccine- and testing-led. He outlined what he called “five key actions” the administration will take. Here are the key takeaways about those steps. 1. Expanding the Vaccine Booster Campaign President Biden once again encouraged the uptake of COVID-19 vaccine booster shots, promising to provide them for up to 100 million people....

According to a USA Today-Suffolk University poll, Biden’s approval rating is currently at 38 percent, lower than another Suffolk University/USA TODAY poll taken since he took office and only just hovering above the president’s all-time lows of 37 percent which were recorded by two other surveys in mid-October. Biden’s approval rating is even suffering with those who voted for him in 2020. According to the results, 46 percent say Biden has done a worse job as president than they expected, including 16 percent of those who voted for him....

Swing counties where Barack Obama was victorious twice that flipped for Donald Trump in 2016 have garnered national attention as they have the potential of playing a big role in who wins the White House. As voters have already started to cast their ballots in states across the country, 55 million viewers watched last night’s final 2020 presidential debate between Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden, broadcast from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee....

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement that Biden was experiencing “very mild symptoms” following a positive test on Thursday. During a speech in Massachusetts on Wednesday, the president said that his childhood in Delaware was accompanied by pollution heavy enough that his mother needed to wipe “oil slicks” off a car windshield to drive him to school. Biden said that the pollution was the reason that he and others “have cancer....

Speaking with Newsweek during an interview in Warsaw, Morawiecki suggested that Biden’s pivot away from fossil fuels risks empowering dictatorships like Russia and Saudi Arabia, from which money could flow to terrorist groups in the Middle East and beyond. Biden’s green push has seen his administration prioritize renewable energy projects, order a pause and review of all oil and gas drilling on federal land, and push to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies, among other measures....

Conservative critics of Biden seized on the video to suggest he was in poor health or even suffering from dementia—a Donald Trump campaign attack line for which there is no evidence. Meanwhile, supporters downplayed the falls and focused on his work ethic and achievements around economic stimulus and vaccines, during his brief time in office. Videos capturing the moment have been widely shared on social media, one Twitter post having been viewed more than 11 million times in less than a day....
