WATCH: Jill Biden Dismisses ‘Ridiculous’ Talk About Joe’s Mental Fitness

First lady Jill Biden has called concerns and questions about President Biden’s mental fitness “ridiculous” as speculation swirls about whether he will seek a second term in 2024 and who will succeed him if he does not.

In an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning” that is set to air this weekend, Jill Biden was pressed on a recent poll that shows registered voters split on the question of whether the president is “mentally fit.”

“Quite a few Americans have some questions about the president’s current mental fitness,” CBS correspondent Rita Braver suggested to the first lady.

“I think that’s ridiculous,” Jill Biden responded in a portion of the interview released Thursday.

The Politico/Morning Consult survey highlighted in the interview was conducted last month and found that only 46 percent of respondents agreed with the statement “Joe Biden is mentally fit,” while 48 percent disagreed.

Race Hoaxer Jussie Smollett Convicted on Five of Six Counts After Staging Fake Chicago Attack in 2019 (VIDEO)

Former “Empire” star Jussie Smollett was convicted by a jury on five counts of disorderly conduct on Thursday over staging a hate crime against himself in 2019.

Smollett, 39, was indicted on six counts in 2019 after authorities investigating the celebrity’s claims of a brutally racist and homophobic attack found that the assault had been orchestrated by himself. According to Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, Smollett hired a pair of Nigerian brothers to stage a conditional attack that would later be treated as a virulent “hate crime,” earning the actor sympathy from politicians and media personalities.

“I come really, really hard against 45,” Smollett said in reference to then-President Donald Trump when explaining to ABC’s Robin Roberts why he felt he was attacked by two white men who screamed racial and homophobic slurs before they tied a noose around his neck and showered his skin with bleach, according to Smollett’s telling.

Country Proposes First Nationwide Smoking Ban

The government of New Zealand announced an aggressive plan to enact a nationwide smoking ban by 2022 on Thursday.

The new law would effectively be a lifetime smoking ban for individuals aged 14 and under.

The proposed legislation, which is expected to become law next year, is part of a broader effort to phase out the use of all tobacco products in the country by 2025.

If the bill becomes law, it will raise the minimum smoking age gradually until the entire population is affected.

The proposed legislation claims that smoking is the leading cause of preventable death among New Zealanders. (Read more from “Country Proposes First Nationwide Smoking Ban” HERE)

GE, Union Pacific Halt Biden Vaccine Mandate

General Electric Co. and a pair of large railroads suspended their employee vaccine mandates after a judge this week halted the Biden administration’s order requiring workers at federal contractors to get inoculated.

GE “paused the implementation” of the requirement in response to the court’s action, a company representative said by email. Union Pacific Corp. and Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s BNSF Railway have similarly stopped requiring shots, though Union Pacific said it’s still encouraging its employees to get vaccinated and 73% have done so.

Raytheon Technologies Corp., however, said Thursday it will continue to require that employees be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. Workers must be fully inoculated by Jan. 18. (Read more from “GE, Union Pacific Halt Biden Vaccine Mandate” HERE)

The Hits Just Keep On Coming for President Biden and His Low Poll Numbers

President Biden’s standing with Americans remains in negative territory heading into the final few weeks of 2021.

The president stands at 43% approval and 51% disapproval in a NPR/Marist national survey released on Thursday. A day earlier, a national poll from Monmouth University indicated a 40% approval and a 50% disapproval. Both surveys were conducted in recent days.

An average of all the most recent national polls compiled by Real Clear Politics puts Biden’s approval at 42% and his disapproval at 52%. The average included a large survey from The Wall Street Journal conducted last month that had the president well underwater, at 41%-57%.

While Biden’s numbers remain in the red, most surveys suggest that his domestic agenda is still popular. Many of the latest polls indicate majority support for the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package the president signed into law last month, and for Biden’s nearly $2 trillion social and human infrastructure and climate change combating spending bill – which passed the House last month.

School Shooting Suspect and Parents Held at Same Facility on Suicide Watch

Ethan Crumbley, the 15-year-old accused of fatally shooting four classmates in Michigan, and his parents are being held in the same facility, with all three on suicide watch.

James and Jennifer Crumbley and their son are being held at Oakland County Jail in Pontiac, Michigan, and being checked on “multiple times an hour” to prevent suicide, Oakland Country Sheriff Michael Bouchard said Saturday. The three do not have contact with each other, he added.

Ethan Crumbley does not know that his parents, apprehended early Saturday after a manhunt, are also in custody.

“He wouldn’t have been made aware that we were searching for his parents since he’s in isolation, and it’s not like we have a TV clicker in his hands,” Bouchard said. (Read more from “School Shooting Suspect and Parents Held at Same Facility on Suicide Watch” HERE)

Anthony Fauci Is Already Calling for a Fourth COVID Shot

The top immunologist in the U.S. says that a fourth dose of a vaccine to battle COVID-19 and various variants that keep appearing may be needed in the near future.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Disease, said federal health officials are already investigating the possible need for a fourth dose for people who have had the two-shot regimen followed by a booster shot.

Fauci’s warning came after Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla also said a fourth dose may be needed, and maybe faster than Fauci’s timeline. And Fauci said a third shot is now most definitely needed for better protection.

“Certainly, when you want to talk about what optimal protection is, I don’t think anybody would argue that optimal protection is going to be with a third shot,” Fauci said on CNN on Wednesday.

The top immunologist’s declaration came the same day that Pfizer announced that the fully vaccinated — those with two shots — will need a booster shot or their level of protection will drop.

On Wednesday, Pfizer-BioNTech reported that initial results from studies examining how well their vaccine protects against a new coronavirus variant found that a booster shot — on top of a two-dose vaccine regimen — neutralizes Omicron in lab studies.

Mother: School Vaccinated Child in Exchange for Pizza Without My Consent (VIDEO)

Maribel Duarte says her 13-year-old son, a student at the Barack Obama Global Prep Academy in South LA, brought home a vaccine card after having accepted the COVID-19 vaccine at school.

She says he said yes when someone offered it in exchange for pizza.

“The lady that gave him the shot and signed the paper told my son, ‘Please don’t say anything. I don’t want to get in trouble.'”

The LAUSD says student matters are confidential and wouldn’t comment specifically, but did say its “safe schools to safe steps incentive program” is meant to ensure several steps are in place for vaccinated students to receive prizes. Duarte says she’s not against the vaccine. She’s vaccinated herself, but it’s different with her son.

“He has problems with asthma and allergy problems,” she said. (Read more from “Mother: School Vaccinated Child in Exchange for Pizza Without My Consent (VIDEO)” HERE)

WATCH: Tulsi Gabbard Says GOP Senator ‘Must Be Insane, a Sociopath or a Sadist’ for Hinting at Nuclear War With Russia

Former Hawaii Congresswoman and 2020 Democratic Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard criticized a high-ranking Republican on Wednesday for his suggestion to use nuclear weapons against Russia to save Ukraine from invasion.

Gabbard appeared on the Wednesday episode of Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” where she rebuffed Republican Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker’s earlier comments on the necessity to keep the nuclear option “on the table.”

“Anyone who would propose or even consider what he is saying as an option, must be insane, a sociopath or a sadist,” Gabbard told host and Daily Caller co-founder, Tucker Carlson.

She warned of the grim consequences of the suggested military action against Russia, which is a nuclear superpower, including the destruction of “the American people, our country, and the world.”
