FIRST ON FOX: A Senate Republican wants to see all court documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein unsealed in a bid to see if Democrats are serious about shedding light on the situation.Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., plans to introduce a resolution on Thursday that would call on federal and state courts to "immediately unseal all materials, including grand jury materials" that were part of any criminal investigation or prosecution of Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.'NOT GOING AWAY': INSIDE THE EPSTEIN DRAMA THAT'S THROWN HOUSE GOP INTO CHAOSMullins measure comes as Congress has been rocked by turmoil and drama surrounding the Trump administrations handling of the so-called Epstein files. Congressional Democrats have used the Epstein probe, and the administrations alleged lack of transparency on the matter, as a rallying cry over the last two weeks.The House was paralyzed by the Epstein drama, with some Republicans and Democrats joining forces in their calls to bring the information out in the open. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., didnt relent, and sent lawmakers home early.In the Senate, Democrats are demanding the immediate release of the files, too.FEDERAL JUDGE RULES ON TRUMP'S REQUEST TO UNSEAL EPSTEIN GRAND JURY TRANSCRIPTSBut Mullins resolution, while designed to offer more transparency and protect and redact any information on victims that may appear in the documents, is also meant to see if Senate Democrats are ready to put their money where their mouths are.Last week, Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., tried to force a vote on a resolution that similarly would force the release of documents related to Epstein."If there is any evidence of a cover-up in the Epstein case, the public has a right to know. If there is a list, the public deserves to see it and Americans deserve to see the truth even if its not what Donald Trump and his elite friends want," he said on the Senate floor.But Mullin blocked the move and charged that Gallego was just engaging in "political theater."WATCH: NANCY PELOSI SILENT ON WHY BIDEN DID NOT RELEASE EPSTEIN FILESHe argued that if Democrats were truly serious about uncovering the truth behind the Epstein files, why didnt they do so when former President Joe Biden was in power?"Where were they? Silent, doing nothing but covering up for an absent president," he said. "And now, all of a sudden, they want to talk about transparency. Maybe you can figure out who ran the White House the last four years, and now, all of a sudden, they want to make something of this."Its also the first action from a Senate Republican demanding that Epstein-related court documents be made public. And it comports with Trumps direction to Attorney General Pam Bondi to "produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony."However, that order already hit a snag on Wednesday, when a judge appointed by former President Barack Obama denied the Justice Departments request to unseal court files on Epstein.

The bodies of three men were recovered from the Mississippi River near Memphis, Tennessee, on Wednesday after they went missing while fishing and swimming on a sandbar.The victims, who ranged in age from their 20s to their 50s, were reported missing Tuesday evening near a boat ramp at Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park, about 13 miles north of Memphis, authorities said.Search and rescue teams with the Shelby County Sheriffs Office and other Memphis-area agencies began looking for the men Tuesday evening and eventually had to call off the search because of darkness, the Shelby County Sheriffs Office said.6 SWEPT OVER OREGON WATERFALL; 2 DEAD AND 1 MISSINGThe search, which included aircraft, rescue boats, drones and the use of sonar, resumed Wednesday morning.The first two bodies were recovered at about 11 a.m. and the third at around 12:45 p.m., the sheriffs office said. A cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner.The victims, who authorities said were all Hispanic, were identified as Marlon Mendez, 28, Rudy Perez, 31, and Jose Yanes, 52.Authorities said the men had been fishing and swimming on a sandbar a natural ridge of sand formed when fast-moving water slows and deposits sediment. In rivers like the Mississippi, sandbars can be unstable and collapse under weight or shifting currents.WOMAN DIES AFTER FALLING AT LEAST 75 FEET WHILE HIKING IN NORTH CAROLINAOfficials say the area has become increasingly popular but the river is treacherous, with several other hazards including strong currents, submerged items, branches and debris."There are eddy currents that can pull an Olympic swimmer under. You can be drawn into the channel and find yourself staring at a 24-unit barge thats the size of a skyscraper on its side coming straight at you with no way for the barge crew to have any idea that you are there," the fire department said on Facebook.Yanes family told Fox 10 News that he has six children, the youngest of whom is 12 years old.Doug Ammons, the owner of a general store a few miles from the river, told the outlet that the river is "lethally dangerous.""This is a horrific tragedy right here, and it happens way too often," Ammons said. "But I understand how it happens. The probability of one-on-one taking on the mighty Mississippi, youre going to lose. Especially without a flotation device."The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., is throwing cold water on Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's assertion about the Obama administration's role in pushing the Trump-Russia collusion narrative during the 2016 presidential election.Gabbard has declassified documents, including a House Intelligence Committee memo, alleging that former President Barack Obama and his national security team "manufactured an Intelligence Community Assessment they knew was false.""I think what Gabbard and her staff are doing is dishonest and misstated, and I'll leave it at that," Schiff told Fox News Digital on Capitol Hill.But White House Spokesman Davis Ingle was quick to fire back in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Pencil neck, watermelon head Adam Shifty Schiff was one of the chief propagandists behind the Russia collusion hoax," he said. "Hes now trying to desperately cover his tracks as this entire lie is being exposed to the world."DNI GABBARD CLAIMS DEEP STATE ACTORS DIDNT WANT TRUMP-RUSSIA INFORMATION TO 'SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY'Schiff was elected to the Senate last year but served in the House while Congress investigated whether Trump colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election.NEW RUSSIAGATE EVIDENCE 'DIRECTLY POINT TO' OBAMA, DOJ WILL DECIDE 'CRIMINAL IMPLICATIONS': GABBARDAnd as a ranking member and then chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Schiff was directly involved in the congressional investigation and became a leading Democratic voice accusing Trump's 2016 presidential campaign of colluding with Russia."Should Obama and his team be held responsible in some way for pushing the Russia collusion narrative that was proven false to take down Trump?" Fox News Digital asked Schiff."Well, if you read the well-reported intelligence community report, you know they documented Russia's efforts to help denigrate Hillary Clinton, which gave a boost to the Trump campaign," Schiff responded.Schiff was referring to an Intelligence Community Assessment report from 2017 that asserted that Russia's goals were to undermine faith in the U.S. democratic process and to "denigrate" former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and that Russian President Vladimir Putin "developed a clear preference" for Trump.Gabbard's office alleged in a press release outlining the unearthed documents that Putin did not favor a candidate in 2016. It also said, "There is irrefutable evidence detailing how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an Intelligence Community Assessment that they knew was false."When asked if he should apologize, Schiff told Fox News Digital, "It's been proven accurate."And as he walked away, Schiff seemed to nod in agreement and say, "Yes," when asked if everything he had said about the Russia collusion was accurate.The Justice Department, however, has formed a "strike force" to assess the evidence publicized by Gabbard into the Obama administration's role in the TrumpRussia collusion narrative.Trump and Schiff have long been political foes, as the president often evoked Schiff's nickname on the presidential campaign trail in 2024 while Trump weaved through a range of topics, including what he has come to refer to as the "Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.""Adam Shifty Schiff is in BIG TROUBLE!" Trump said on Truth Social on Sunday. "He falsified Loan Documents. He once said my son would go to prison on a SCAM that Schiff, along with other Crooked Dems, illegally manufactured in order to stage an actual coup.""My son did nothing wrong, knew nothing about the fictional story," he added. "It was an American Tragedy! Now Shifty should pay the price of prison for a real crime, not one made up by the corrupt accusers!"The U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) sent a letter to the Department of Justice in May alleging that Schiff has "falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms, impacting payments from 2003-2019 for a Potomac, Maryland-based property.""Since I led his first impeachment, Trump has repeatedly called for me to be arrested for treason,"Schiff said after Trump first accused Schiff of mortgage fraud. "So in a way, I guess this is a bit of a letdown. And this baseless attempt at political retribution wont stop me from holding him accountable. Not by a long shot."Fox News Digital's Brooke Singman, Emma Colton, Danielle Wallace, and Peter Doocy contributed to this report.

There are two distinct and clear things happening in American politics today that at first blush appear to be in direct conflict, President Donald Trump has had the best six months of any president in recent memory, and he is losing support in the polls.How can this be?In fact, the way to reconcile Trumps signature successes with his drop in approval is to understand that the president has expended an enormous amount of political capital, sacrificing support today, in the hope of good results tomorrow.The achievements of the Trump administration are truly breathtaking when taken as a whole, starting with his central campaign promise, to shut down the southern border.FOX NEWS POLL: TRUMP FACING HEADWINDS AT SIX-MONTH MARKIn a funny way, Trump was too successful on the border for his own political good. Had he cut the number of entries in half by now, it would still have been a positive story for the president, but he brought it to zero, so the issue is all but gone and forgotten, and nobody is getting any credit for it.Then we have the passage of the 'big, beautiful bill, the largest tax cut in history packed with big political winners like no tax on overtime and tips, and passed by a tiny GOP majority in Congress.While that was going on, Trump also attacked Irans nuclear facilities, badly damaging them and setting our geopolitical foes weapons program back years in a bold and perfectly executed mission.Donald Trump has also unleashed his decades-long desire for higher tariffs to bolster American jobs and manufacturing, and after an all out panic from markets and pundits on "Liberation Day," back in April, the economy is now humming, largely free of inflation.Last but not least, Trump, through his rescission package defunded NPR and PBS, something that has been the great white whale of many a conservative for many a year. They said it couldnt be done, but Trump did it.TRUMP HAS NOW BEEN IN OFFICE FOR SIX MONTHS, FOR THE SECOND TIME. HERE ARE THE HIGHLIGHTSThe scope, scale and speed of Trumps triumphs are the good news, but they are always why his polling can get a bit jumpy, which is what we have seen over the past few weeks.According to the Real Clear Politics average of polls, Trump has shed about 3.5 points since July 7th -- not a drop off a cliff, but not nothing, either. It's mostly down to how busy he has been.Above were listed 5 major accomplishments. There are, to be sure, many voters who love all five, but there are also voters who like 3 or 4 but not the others, and in approval polling the stuff people dont like is louder than stuff they do.Two weeks ago on a trip to Texas,I reportedon these warning signs, especially around the deportations of illegal aliens without any other criminal record that make many Americans, including some Trump supporters, queasy.FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS THINK IRAN POSES A REAL THREAT TO US SECURITY, BUT SPLIT ON ISRAEL'S STRIKESThere is also an isolationist wing of the MAGA movement that hates the Iran strike, and even though its dire warnings of World War III fizzled like a cap gun in a hard rain, that still dinged the numbers.Likewise, there are still plenty of individuals and industries that strongly dislike the tariffs, even if the economic sky hasnt fallen.The point here, as Abe Lincoln once put it, is that you cant please all the people all the time, and when you do as much as Trump has, this quickly, you are sure to displease lots and lots of folks.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThe real bet that the Trump administration is making is not on the short-term popularity of any of its top achievements, but rather that a year from now, they will have made the lives of Americans better.Donald Trump, even with just one term this time around, is committed to leaving our nation a very different place in 2029 than he found it in 2025. To do this requires an all-out assault on institutions from the deep state, to academia, to the media.Trump cant poke as many political bears as he is without catching a few flesh wounds from the claws, but there is no sign of any imminent collapse that could thwart his overall efforts.For six months, I have argued that Trump had all the runway he needed to put his plans in action. That was true, and he got a lot of planes up in the air, but the runway may be shortening now.Now, all that is left is to judge the results of the Trumpian whirlwind of the past six months, and find out if this has been political capital well spent.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DAVID MARCUS

EXCLUSIVE As he looks ahead to next year's midterm elections, when the Democrats try to win back majorities in the House and Senate, Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin is targeting the Republicans' so-called "big, beautiful bill.""We welcome the debate, because this is the debate that's going to actually help us as a Democratic Party, build our coalition again and win elections," the DNC chair said in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital.Martin's rival, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Michael Whatley, told Fox News last week that the sweeping GOP-crafted domestic policy bill that narrowly passed the House and Senate in near-party-line votes and President Donald Trump signed into law on July 4, will be a "cornerstone" of their party's messaging going forward.That's just fine with Martin.RNC CHAIR SAYS BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL KEY TO GOP'S MESSAGING EFFORT HEADED INTO MIDTERMS"If this is the ground they want to die on, the hill they want to die, we'll make sure they die on it," Martin said of Republicans.The Republican package is stuffed full of Trump's 2024 campaign trail promises and second-term priorities on tax cuts, immigration, defense, energy and the debt limit.FIRST ON FOX: REPUBLICANS LAUNCH MAJOR AD BLITZ TO SELL BIG BEAUTIFUL BILLIt includes extending the president's signature 2017 tax cutswhich were set to expire later this yearand eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay."This is going to help every family in every community all across the country," Whatley predicted in his Fox News Digital interview.But Martin disagreed, saying that "there is nothing in this bill that's going to help hard-working Americans. Let's be very clear, this is a giveaway to the richest people in our country."The measure also provides billions for border security and codifies the president's controversial immigration crackdown.The massive tax cuts and spending package is also projected by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to increase the national debt by $4 trillion over the next decade, but many Republicans dispute the projection.And the new law also restructures Medicaidthe almost 60-year-old federal program that provides health coverage to roughly 71 million low-income Americans. The CBO this week estimated that 10 million people could lose their health insurance over the next decade.DEMOCRATS TAKE AIM AT TRUMP'S BIG BEAUTIFUL BILLThe changes to Medicaid, as well as cuts to food stamps, another one of the nation's major safety net programs, were drafted in part as an offset to pay for extending Trump's tax cuts. The measure includes a slew of new rules and regulations, including work requirements for many of those seeking Medicaid coverage."The fact is that we're going to be moving illegal aliens off of Medicaid. We're going to be strengthening the program," Whatlley said. "Those are things that absolutely need to happen."But Democrats, for months, have repeatedly blasted Republicans over the social safety net changes. And they spotlighted a slew of national polls last month and this monthincluding one this week from Fox Newsthat indicate the bill's popularity in negative territory."American people are hurting right now, and there's no doubt that this is an issue that allows the Democrats right now to actually rebuild our coalition, to actually bring people back in, many who left our party over the years, who felt like we weren't fighting for them and actually lifting up working people," Martin said.And the DNC chair argued that "Donald Trump has betrayed them. I don't call this the big beautiful bill. What I call it is a big, ugly betrayal, because that's exactly what it is. It's a betrayal to the hardworking Americans who expected more from this president."

Hulk Hogan was a larger-than-life personality who rose to great heights in sports entertainment and buoyed a successful career in the ring into an iconic one outside of it.Hogan died after suffering a possible "cardiac arrest" at his home in Clearwater, Florida, TMZ Sports reported on Thursday. Emergency personnel reportedly rushed to his home and he was seen being carried out of it in an ambulance.WWE released a statement later.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"WWE is saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away," the company wrote. "One of pop cultures most recognizable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s."WWE extends its condolences to Hogans family, friends, and fans."Clearwater Police Department released a statement."Clearwater Fire Department and Clearwater Police Department personnel responded to a medical call at 9:51 a.m. today in the 1000 block of Eldorado Avenue on Clearwater Beach," the statement read. "The nature of the call was for a cardiac arrest. A 71-year-old resident, Terry Bollea, also known as Hulk Hogan, was treated by Clearwater Fire & Rescue crews before being taken by Sunstar to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased."The news of Hogans death came weeks after he was alleged to be having a health crisis. However, his wife, Sky, denied those reports, saying he was "strong" and was recovering from surgeries.EX-PRO WRESTLING STAR BUFF BAGWELL GETS RIGHT LEG AMPUTATED: 'THIS IS HARD'Hogan was set to join former pro wrestling executive Eric Bischoff in a new venture called Real American Freestyle. It was a fresh attempt at putting freestyle wrestling on the map. Hogan also dipped his toe into the political waters. He stumped for President Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention and at a Madison Square Garden rally last year.The superstar pro wrestler, whose real name was Terry Bollea, got his start in Championship Wrestling from Florida (CWF) in the late 1970s before he eventually joined the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1979. However, it wasnt until his return to the WWF, now the WWE, when he really turned into the superstar that fans came to know.Vince McMahon had purchased the WWF from his father and picked Hogan to be the main attraction for the company. He started to wrestle as a babyface when he saved Bob Backlund from an attack by the Wild Samoans. "Hulkamania" became the rage from there.Hogan demanded his followers to train, say their prayers and eat their vitamins. As his catchphrases and personality caught on, Hogan began one of his most famous feuds with Andre the Giant. The rivalry culminated in an epic match at WrestleMania III as Hogan, the champion, was going up against the so-called "undefeated" Giant.Hogan was seen picking up the 520-pound behemoth and slamming him down on the ground. The move was dubbed "the bodyslam heard around the world" and became the calling card for WWEs promotional events in the future.He would continue with classic rivalries against Ric Flair, Randy Savage, Earthquake, Yokozuna and the Honky Tonk Man. As he left the WWF, Hogan would later rebrand himself and kick off another wild six years of him being on top of the wrestling world.World Championship Wrestling (WCW) brought over WWF stars Kevin Nash and Scott Hall in a shrewd free agency move. The two branded themselves as The Outsiders and teased they were working together with a third man.PRO WRESTLING LEGEND SABU DEAD AT 60Nash and Hall took on Savage, Sting and Lex Luger at Bash at the Beach in 1996. Hogan came out toward the end of the match to a huge pop. Commentator Bobby "The Brain" Heenan famously wondered on the broadcast which side Hogan was on. Sure enough, Hogan delivered a leg drop onto Savage and changed the pro wrestling world forever.Hogans new faction would be dubbed the New World Order, and the storyline would allow WCW to control the ratings for 83 consecutive weeks.Hogan would later return to WWE after the company bought WCW for another run and had a dream match against The Rock. He had a four-year run with Total Nonstop Action wrestling and would make sporadic appearances in WWE after that.He was a six-time WWE champion, won the Royal Rumble twice and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as an individual in 2005 and as a member of the NWO in 2020. He was also a six-time world heavyweight champion in WCW as well as the IWGP champion in New Japan Pro-Wrestling once.He left an indelible legacy on pro wrestling.He is survived by his two children, Nick and Brooke, who he had with his first wife, Linda Claridge, and his current wife, Sky Daily.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Russia and Ukraine took aim at corresponding Black Sea resort cities early Thursday morning, just hours after ceasefire talks in Turkey once again failed to deliver results.The major Russian resort city of Sochi was rocked by a Ukrainian drone strike that began around 1 a.m. and lasted until 3 a.m., where one person was reportedly killed and another injured, according to Ukrainian media outlet the Kyiv Independent, though the Ukrainian military has not commented on the incident.An oil depot in theKrasnodar Krairegion where Sochi is located was also struck, though the extent of the damage remains unclear.'TRUMP HAS CHANGED THE GAME': NATO ENTERS BRAVE NEW ERA UNDER PRESSURE FROM US, RUSSIAKyiv has routinely levied strikes at Russian territory as Moscow continues to pummel not only the eastern frontlines of Ukraine, but civilian populations across the country.What Ukraine may have been targeting in Sochi remains unclear, though the city is home to some of Russias most favored vacation locations as well as the infamous Soviet-era palace used by the Kremlin leaders as a retreat, and allegedly housed Russian President Vladimir Putin during the COVID pandemic though it was reportedly demolished in 2024 over Ukrainian strike concerns.Russia also hit the Ukrainian port city of Odessa which has been repeatedly targeted in the three-year-long war in early morning strikes in what Ukraines State Emergency Servicedescribed as "another hellish night" as a nine-story residential building was struck."The residents from the 5th to the 8th floors lost their homes," the emergencymanagement body said in a statement posted to Telegram. "There is a risk of structural collapse."Emergency rescue teams evacuated 38 people, including five who were trapped in their apartments.At least four people were injured in the overnight strikes, according to Reuters, and fires were reported to have raged in other parts of the city as well.RUSSIA BOMBARDS UKRAINE HOURS BEFORE KEY MEETING ON TRUMP NATO WEAPONS DEAL"Overnight, russian forces launched a massive attack on Odesa. As a result of an attack, one of the citys most iconic landmarks, the Pryvoz market, caught fire," Ukraines Ministry of Defense said in a post on X. "Also, multiple civilian targets were damaged, including the residential high-rise, a two-story building, a gas station, and even a UNESCO-protected architectural monument in the city center."Once again, Russians target civilian cities there is zero military gain from these strikes," the ministry added. "Ukraine needs more air defense systems to protect our people from such terror."Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also said on Thursday that "dozens" of civilians in Kharkiv, including children, were injured in an overnight attack by Russian glide bombs."These are utterly senseless strikes with no military purpose whatsoever," Zelenskyy said. "And we see that this is Russia's only intention to continue aggression and killings."That is precisely why we need support in defense strong air defenses, expanded weapons production. All of this will help save lives," he added.While Ukraines Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal met with NATO officials this week to discuss ramping up defensive aid and counter capabilities, attempted ceasefire talks in Istanbul between delegations from Moscow and Kyiv again failed to achieve any results, though future POW swaps were again discussed.Zelenskyy took to X to voice his frustration at the continued Russian attacks despite Ukrainian efforts to secure a ceasefire, and said, "Yesterday, at the meeting in Istanbul, the proposal for an immediate and full ceasefire was reiterated to the Russian side.""In response, Russian drones struck residential buildings and the Pryvoz market in Odesa, apartment blocks in Cherkasy, energy infrastructure in the Kharkiv region, a university gym in Zaporizhzhia. Donetsk, Sumy, and Mykolaiv regions were all under strikes as well," he added. "In total, there were 103 attack drones, mostly Shaheds, and four missiles."President Donald Trump last week gave Putin 50 days to enter into a ceasefire or face stiff sanctions, though some have expressed concern that the threat of sanctions will not be enough to deter his war ambitions.

President Donald Trump said he wants Elon Musk to "thrive" just weeks after he suggested the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) could investigate him.In a post on Truth Social, the president said, "Everyone is stating that I will destroy Elons companies by taking away some, if not all, of the large-scale subsidies he receives from the U.S. Government. This is not so! "I want Elon, and all businesses within our Country, to THRIVE, in fact, THRIVE like never before! The better they do, the better the USA does, and thats good for all of us. We are setting records every day, and I want to keep it that way!" Trump added.At the start of July, Trump who was entangled in a public feud with the SpaceX and Tesla CEO this summer told reporters that DOGE may have to investigate Musk.TRUMP SAYS DOGE MONSTER MAY HAVE TO EAT ELON "DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn't that be terrible?" Trump said at the time. "He gets a lot of subsidies. But, Elon was very upset that the EV mandate is going to be terminated."Trump previously told the media in June that his relationship with Musk changed when the president began discussing plans to eliminate the electric vehicle mandate, which would affect Musk's signature electric company, Tesla. TRUMP CALLS ELON MUSK WONDERFUL GUY DESPITE RENEWED CRITICISM OF BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILLTrump signed a trio of congressional resolutions on June 12 ending California's restrictive rules for diesel engines and mandates on electric vehicle sales, with Trump celebrating that his signature "will kill the California mandates forever."Musk also took aim at the Trump administrations "big, beautiful" spending bill in early June, calling it a "massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill [that] is a disgusting abomination."Fox News Emma Colton and Anders Hagstrom contributed to this report.

When I heard Joe Biden is getting $10 million to pen a memoir which will address his presidency, I thought the same thing you probably did: Is it a coloring book?I mean, come on. First of all, the odds are good that Grandpa Joe cannot remember what he had for breakfast today, much less the detailed doings of the White House for four long years. But also, nobody on Planet Earth thinks this man is capable of writing so much as a thank-you card.Ive written a book. It's difficult, unenjoyable and requires mental stamina. To state it clearly, if Joe Biden is writing a book, then Im the Dalai Lama.NEW BOOK REVEALS BIDEN'S INNER CIRCLE WORRIED ABOUT HIS AGE YEARS BEFORE BOTCHED DEBATE PERFORMANCEOf course, nobody is surprised when former presidents or other celebrity types get big-money book deals thrown at them, or that many employ ghostwriters. But the ghost of William Faulkner couldnt get a books worth of sensible commentary out of Ol Joe.This is the same former president who could barely manage a 10-minute interview with The New York Times this month. At that rate, this book would take a hundred years to finish, even if his son Hunter filled some pages with his lovely illustrations.No, it will not be Joe Biden who composes this fabulous work of fan fiction. It will likely be crafted by many of the same people who have their fingerprints all over the infamous White House autopen.This inner circle that served both Joe and Jill Biden for years, from Ron Klain, to Anthony Bernal, to Susan Rice, seem to have been the real people running the country. But thats not what Bidens book will say about them.Bidens memoir will really be their day in court, especially now that many have pleaded the Fifth Amendment when asked about Bidens decline by Congress.In this way, even if Joe has no clue this book is even being written, it could still wind up an important document insofar as it will serve as the official Biden camp version of events, a sneak peek of which Hunter Biden may have given us this week.On the "Channel 5" podcast the former first son, painter, and Ukrainian gas executive, gave a profanity-laden performance that felt like an audition for a David Mamet play. Take this gem, describing the Democrats who turned on his dad:"James Carvillewho hasnt run a race in 40 f--ing yearsand David Axelrod, who had one success in his political life, and that was Barack Obama. And that was because of Barack Obamanot because of f---ing David Axelrod."Actually, if Joes book reads anything like this, it could be a bestseller. Democrats have been cursing up a storm lately, but Hunter actually seems to be good at it, as his father was rumored to be in private.Democrats may be about to find out that hell hath no fury like a Biden scorned, and even if Joe himself thinks hes having lunch with long-dead Maggie Thatcher tomorrow, those closest to him know where all the bodies are buried.For Joseph Robinette Biden, this book deal, this cool 1$0 million, is likely the final payout of a long and very lucrative career in public service. Make of that combination what you will, but for those loyal to him, it is much more.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONBidens legacy and reputation in the pantheon of American politics is as low as it can be. This guy makes Jimmy Carter look like Cicero, and this book might be the very last chance to restore any respect and dignity at all to Scranton Joe.So for whomever is writing this book, here is a piece of advice. Do the American people and Joe Biden a favor and just tell the truth. We can handle it, and even if the truth is bad, the perception of it is already very, very bad.Biden cant undo the terrible harm he did as president, the crushing inflation, the surging border or the feckless and facile foreign policy disasters. But those in charge of this book have a chance to set the record straight now.Lets pray that they take it, even though we know, they almost certainly will not.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DAVID MARCUS
