President Biden’s widely panned debate performance Thursday night in Atlanta has many prominent Democrats asking a simple question: What do we do now? Swapping out Biden for someone else is likely not possible — unless he quits the race himself. He’s won the requisite number of delegates to capture the Democratic nomination, and Biden said […]
An elk herd roams the sprawling oak savannas of Northern California with a member who isn’t an elk at all. His name is Diesel, and he is a donkey. The story about how an unassuming pack animal became something approaching a hoofed Tarzan started hundreds of miles away, involved a decades-old federal program and required […]
President Joe Biden’s performance on Thursday night’s debate has had people looking elsewhere for another potential candidate for the Democratic Party, with names such as Michelle Obama, Pete Buttigieg and Gov. Andy Beshear making the lists. National and local outlets have listed Beshear as a potential replacement for Biden in the November presidential elections. The […]
Sean Rowe, a 49-year-old bishop from western Pennsylvania, on Wednesday became the youngest person ever elected as leader of the Episcopal Church. He immediately issued a sobering call for the church, which has faced division and chronic membership loss, to confront an “existential crisis” that he compared with the steel industry collapse in his native […]
Robert Trueblood, the man accused of helping two others with a July 2022 double murder, has told the Baker County Sheriff’s Office he’s the one responsible for the murders.

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio remains one of the top contenders to serve as Donald Trump’s running mate, but the Florida man has yet to address head-on a potential hurdle for the job: a constitutional provision that says electors cannot vote for both a president and a vice president from the same state. In an interview […]
The first presidential debate of 2024 featured former President Trump’s usual assertions on immigrants, calling them criminals and saying mental asylums were being emptied in foreign countries for people to come here. President Biden pushed back, calling Trump’s statements lies and “malarkey.” Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than people born in the U.S., […]
A Midlands man who told law enforcement officers he was stabbed by his 84-year-old aunt is the one who was locked up on multiple charges stemming from the violent incident, the Kershaw County Sheriff’s Office said. Kirim Deshown Gaskins, a 27-year-old Camden resident, was charged with first-degree assault and battery, as well as kidnapping, the […]
The breathless advance coverage of the first debate between President Joe Biden and a well-known convicted felon has overlooked one key question: Will Donald Trump actually show up? Until we see him set foot on the debate stage Thursday night in Atlanta, there’s a strong chance the former president chickens out and runs to the […]
NEW YORK (AP) — After months of casting President Joe Biden as a shell of a man incapable of putting two sentences together, Donald Trump has changed his tune days before their first debate. “I assume he’s going to be somebody that will be a worthy debater,” the former president and presumptive Republican nominee said […]
A trio of viral videos from events President Joe Biden attended this month purport to show the 81-year-old in various states of confusion and, quite frankly, weird behavior. They include Biden’s June 6 appearance at D-Day anniversary ceremonies in France; the June 10 incident at a White House Juneteenth concert; and the June 15 Hollywood […]
