The Western Journal: Hilarious 60-Second Video: Joe and Jill Won't Make Eye Contact with Kamala as She Stands 2 Feet Away from Them
At the recent Kennedy Center Honors, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden displayed noticeable tension with Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff. Despite being seated next to each other, there was a complete lack of eye contact or acknowledgment between the two couples, reflecting ongoing discord within the Democratic Party.
The strained relationship stems from the fallout of Biden's 2024 campaign, where both sides blame each other for the president's premature exit from the race. This unresolved conflict suggests that the rift may persist, as neither party appears willing to take responsibility for their roles in the situation.

Fox News: Republicans rip Hochul's 'inflation refunds' as a bribe to 'make NYers like her'
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has proposed a plan to provide "inflation refunds" of up to $500 to help residents cope with rising living costs. The initiative aims to return $3 billion in excess sales tax revenue to nearly half of the state's population, targeting families earning less than $300,000 and individuals under $150,000.
However, the proposal has faced criticism from Republicans, who argue it is a temporary solution that does not address the state's high tax burden and regulatory issues. Critics claim that the plan is more about improving Hochul's approval ratings than providing real relief to New Yorkers.

Conservative commentators have criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for prosecuting Daniel Penny, a former Marine charged in the chokehold death of homeless man Jordan Neely. Penny was acquitted of criminally negligent homicide, with many arguing Bragg's case was unwarranted and politically motivated.
Critics claim Bragg's actions reflect a troubling trend in his tenure, prioritizing politically convenient cases over public safety, which they argue has contributed to rising crime in New York City. Calls for Bragg's removal from office have intensified following the verdict.
The Western Journal: Alvin Bragg Responds to Daniel Penny Acquittal by Trying to Play Victim
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has faced criticism for his handling of high-profile cases, particularly the prosecution of Donald Trump and the recent trial of Daniel Penny. Following Penny's acquittal, Bragg attempted to frame himself as a victim of public backlash, despite the jury's decision affirming Penny's innocence in a case involving the death of Jordan Neely.
Bragg's statement acknowledged the jury's verdict but also highlighted threats faced by his staff during the trial, which he condemned. Critics argue that Bragg's portrayal of himself as a victim is disingenuous, given his office's aggressive legal tactics.
