On June 28, President Biden attended the opening ceremony of the 'Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center' in New York. Following a disappointing performance in the first televised presidential debate on Thursday, concerns have arisen over the 81-year-old Biden's ability to secure re-election, with calls within the Democratic Party for a change in candidacy. Despite acknowledging his age and declining abilities, Biden remains determined to fulfill his duties and defeat his opponent, former President Trump. While many Democrats expressed disappointment privately after the debate, major donors of Biden suggested a switch in August during the party primaries, prompting Biden to withdraw. However, Biden's campaign spokesperson Michael Tyler emphasized no withdrawal discussion is ongoing, resisting the call for change. Although liberal media like the 'New York Times' urged Biden's replacement, Democratic figures like Clinton and Obama have voiced support for him. Obama stated on social media, 'Bad debates happen, trust me, I know. But this election is a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary people their whole life and someone who fights for themselves.' Biden's campaign reported fundraising of $14 million on the debate day and after, marking the highest fundraising hour post-debate. In contrast, Trump's campaign raised $8 million on Thursday evening.

A recent study by Harvard University social science researchers proposes that extraterrestrial beings may have been living on Earth in secret for some time. The study presents 4 theories challenging traditional notions of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). Some of the theories include the existence of advanced prehistoric civilizations, highly advanced non-human civilizations, extraterrestrial or future human beings living clandestinely on Earth. While many scientists entertain the possibility of extraterrestrial life, the idea of supernatural beings like fairies is deemed far-fetched. Most experts do not view UFO or UAP sightings as evidence of alien activities, with many attributing such sightings to advanced human technologies within known scientific realms.
