EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. — President Joe Biden is looking to recapture his mojo and reassure donors at a Saturday fundraiser that he is fully up to the challenge of beating Donald Trump.

After beating Brewers, Cubs have no complaints with Steele’s anger
MILWAUKEE — The Cubs seemed to finally reach their breaking point Saturday when a botched rundown led to 2 runs scoring in the third inning. As pitcher Justin Steele walked back into the dugout, he unloaded some frustration, probably to no one in particular, but his angry screams were very evident.
Hodge, Little stepping forward in reliever reliability
MILWAUKEE — Bullpen injuries and late-game failures have been a storyline to the Cubs' season. But with all the problems, there are some positive developments. Rookie Porter Hodge lowered his ERA to 1.64 and has given up runs in just 1 of 10 appearances since being called up. Luke Little posted his sixth straight scoreless appearance Saturday in Milwaukee and has a 1.84 ERA in May and June.

Novak Djokovic says his knee feels good and he wants to ‘go for the title’ at Wimbledon
WIMBLEDON, England — Novak Djokovic's right knee has responded so well after surgery to repair a torn meniscus less than a month ago that he said Saturday he considers himself ready to contend at Wimbledon, where he has won seven of his 24 Grand Slam trophies. And, no, he...
Heartbreaking exchange falsely billed as ‘debate’
What CNN showed us Thursday night was a heartbreaking schoolboy playground exchange between a reeking con man and a pathetically floundering old man who couldn't remember lines that he spent the last week repeating and repeating at Camp David. It's appalling that this was billed as a “debate” between two...
Trump’s world of lies
The fact-checkers for NBC counted more than 30 lies Trump told during the debate Thursday night. Trump blasted Biden with false narratives, twisted reasoning and misinterpretations of events, full of sound and fury signifying nothing because they were lies. Having repeated the big lies so often to himself and to...
A painful performance to watch
That was really a painful performance Thursday night. Here is President Biden responding to former President Trump on the question of abortion, an acknowledged hot button in this campaign:. “Look, there’s so many young women who have been — including a young woman who just was murdered and he —...
Biden shows he’s unfit
Anyone who watched Thursday’s debate and concludes that President Biden is fit to be the leader of the free world either needs an eye exam or a new TV. This isn’t about his age. We all know men and women in their eighties that are as sharp as a tack. Unfortunately, Joe isn’t one of them. I have been questioning his mental fitness when considering his run for a second term. Now we should question whether he should remain in office for the next seven months.
Sadly, nothing new
As in any past presidential debates, “what you see is what you get,” and this latest was nothing new. President Biden was measured and passive (it's characteristic of his past dysfluency and personality). Trump was Trump, lying and casting blame while he avoided answering key questions. These debates are a waste of everyone's time.
‘It gives you goose bumps’: 2,000 flags fly in Wheaton to welcome July Fourth
Of all the ways to celebrate a bang-up Fourth of July, there’s not a lot of time for quiet reflection. But a hush falls over the Wheaton Field of Honor, a sea of American flags waving in Seven Gables Park. “It gives you goose bumps,” says Rudy Keller, a...
Bears’ ‘Salty’ defense aims to prove 2023 late-season success was no fluke
Asked about his defense during OTAs, Bears defensive coordinator Eric Washington used the word “salty” to describe his unit. It seemed a fitting moniker for a group that had some success late in the season last year but is still playing with a chip on its shoulder. The...
Connelly seeks to put past mistake behind after being selected 19th in NHL draft by Golden Knights
LAS VEGAS — It meant little to Trevor Connelly what spot he was selected in the NHL draft — first round or beyond — due to the regrettable decision he made in the past. What ultimately mattered to the 18-year-old is the work he put in through volunteer work and diversity training to put him on a path forward in hockey after being selected 19th overall by the draft host Vegas Golden Knights on Friday night.
No time to waste in solving Social Security crisis
In Thursday night’s presidential debate — such that it was — the moderators asked each candidate what they would do to shore up Social Security. President Biden responded he would make the wealthy pay their fair share. Former President Trump did not answer the question (he didn’t answer a lot of questions) but charged that President Biden was destroying Social Security, without citing specifics.
