#1 - The Look on Jill Biden's Face During Joe's Speech Says Everything — by Nick Arama

But one of the things that I found striking about all this — besides the Democrats thinking they can put this over on us — was how stricken all the Bidens looked now that they were about to be booted from power, particularly Jill and Hunter. I don't have an ounce of sympathy for them after everything Joe put the country through. Their grip on power is swiftly coming to an end and they don't look at all happy. Now, that's a great thing.

The look on Jill's face in the following two pictures says it all — she's so upset.

#2 - EXCLUSIVE: Sources Say Joe Biden Suffered Neurological Event Before Suddenly Leaving Las Vegas — by Jennifer Van Laar 

Nearly a week ago President Joe Biden abruptly canceled a speaking engagement in Las Vegas after mingling with voters at a local Mexican restaurant, the event organizers being the first to announce that Biden had tested positive for COVID and explaining that he was flying to his Delaware beach house to isolate.

In light of the Biden administration's poor record of truth-telling when it comes to POTUS' medical condition, many people questioned whether that 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 the reporting of Charlie Kirk and Jordan Schachtel, portions of which were confirmed independently by RedState's Brittany Sheehan, and exclusive details provided to RedState by a well-placed credible source, it seems that skepticism was justified. According to these sources, Biden had a sudden medical emergency and was headed toward University Medical Center trauma center before his team decided to "medivac" him out instead, and that medical emergency was some type of neurological event like a transient ischemic attack.

#3 - WATCH: 'Merciless' New Dave McCormick Ad Laying Kamala Harris' Record Bare Has People Talking — by Sister Toldjah

And just to show how "afraid" of Harris Republicans are, Pennsylvania Republican Senate nominee Dave McCormick - who witnessed the assassination attempt on Donald Trump while sitting in the front row at the Butler campaign rally - has released a powerful new, 90-second ad tying his Democratic opponent, Sen. Bob Casey Jr., to Harris. 

It drops receipts galore on Harris' far-left record on issues like crime, illegal immigration, energy policy, and even meat consumption, making an effective case that if people were troubled by Joe Biden's positions on the issues, they're going to be even more disturbed by hers.

#4 - Frank Biden Made Stunning Admission About Joe's Health Indicating We've Been Lied To—Then It Gets Weird — by Nick Arama

Frank Biden said to CBS that he was selfishly glad to have Joe Biden back for "whatever time we have left." Then, when he was asked if health factored into his brother's decision to step aside from the race, he said, "absolutely" his health played a "considerable role" in his decision. 

"Whatever time we have left" sounds ominous. Is that just a recognition that he's 81, or is that a hint of something more that we're not being told? 

Plus, wait, hasn't the White House and Biden himself been telling us he's in good health and fine to go? So you mean they have been lying to us?

#5 - Proof of Life? Listen As Biden Calls Into Campaign Headquarters, Kamala Responds — by Nick Arama

He doesn't say what that "news" is but he does later acknowledge that he "won't be on the ticket." He says he will still be around trying to help her and encourages them to give "every bit of your heart and soul" to Kamala. He claimed former President Donald Trump was "still a danger to the community, to the nation." 

He didn't have as much slurring and hesitancy as normal, and his voice seemed stronger than it has recently. But he had some of his common themes and filler words. He did sound a bit nasally at points. 

People still had some doubts, especially when they heard this from Harris, "Joe, I know you're still on the ri..on the call." It's not clear what she was saying there. But this is so cringe. She said they'd been talking every day.
