Joe Biden at Press Briefing on LA Fires: ‘The Good News Is, I’m a Great-Grandfather!’

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden took the time to announce some personal “good news” to reporters during an awkward press briefing with California Gov. Gavin Newsom on the Los Angeles wildfires, saying, “I’m a great-grandfather!”

While standing next to Newsom to update the nation on the status of the multiple devastating fires that began on Tuesday evening, Biden made a sudden pivot to an announcement about his family:

“The good news is, I’m a great-grandfather as of today,” the 82-year-old president said during the briefing, held at a firehouse in Santa Monica, Los Angeles County.

“I’ll remember this day for a lot of reasons,” he added, before leaving without answering any questions from reporters.

Court Strikes Down Biden’s Title IX Trans Overhaul Nationwide

/1 Comment/in , /by

A U.S. district court struck down President Joe Biden’s queer theory rewrite of Title IX nationwide on Thursday, blocking his administration from attempting to change the definition of “sex” to include claimed “gender identities.”

Kentucky U.S. District Court Chief Judge Danny C. Reeves, an appointee of President George W. Bush, blocked the Biden Department of Education’s new Title IX rules. Those rules would have forced schools to allow boys in girls’ private spaces like restrooms and locker rooms, required teachers to refer to children with “preferred pronouns,” and made girls sleep in the same facilities as boys on events like overnight field trips. The Biden rules also stripped the due process rights of persons accused of sexual assault on college campuses, bringing back Obama-era “kangaroo courts” designed to give life to false accusations.

“It is abundantly clear that discrimination on the basis of sex means discrimination on the basis of being a male or female,” Reeves wrote. “Expanding the meaning of ‘on the basis of sex’ to include ‘gender identity’ turns Title IX on its head. … The entire point of Title IX is to prevent discrimination based on sex — throwing gender identity into the mix eviscerates the statute and renders it largely meaningless.”

Over the summer, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed injunctions on the Title IX rule to remain in 26 states where several lawsuits brought by different coalitions were successful in rendering the rewrite null and void. One federal judge in Louisiana struck down the rewrite, referring to it as an “abuse of power” and a “threat to democracy.” (Read more from “Court Strikes Down Biden’s Title IX Trans Overhaul Nationwide” HERE)

Biden Was Asked About Raging Inferno at Briefing — Shares Personal Detail Instead

/19 Comments/in , , /by

President Biden on Wednesday made some brief and off-topic remarks after meeting with firefighting officials about the fierce wildfires raging in the Los Angeles area.

“We’re prepared to do anything and everything as long as it takes to contain these fires and help reconstruct, make sure that we can get back to normal,” Biden, who was there to sign a disaster declaration alongside California Gov. Gavin Newsom, said.


“It’s gonna be a hell of a long way. It’s gonna take time. But the government is here to stay, as long as you need us. Give everything you need. Anything you asked and haven’t gotten yet?” he continued. . .

Biden then took the meeting in an unexpected direction, announcing that he had become a great-grandfather and celebrating the birth of his eldest granddaughter’s first child.

“The good news is I’m a great-grandfather as of today,” Biden said before declining questions from reporters. (Read more from “Biden Was Asked About Raging Inferno at Briefing — Shares Personal Detail Instead” HERE)

Biden Says He’s Considering Preemptively Pardoning Anthony Fauci, Maybe Two Others

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden confirmed in an interview with USA Today that he is considering preemptive pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci and former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney.

Following Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter (after months of insisting he would not do so), Politico reported that the president was considering pardoning those he thinks President-elect Donald Trump may target, including Fauci, Cheney and Democratic California Sen. Adam Schiff. Biden told USA Today that he has not made a decision on whether or not he will pardon them in his last 12 days in office and that it depends on who Trump appoints to his cabinet.

“Well, a little bit of it depends on who he puts in what positions. If in fact, he … here’s how … I was very straightforward with Trump when he got elected. I invited him immediately to the White House. I spent two hours with him,” the president said about the preemptive pardons.

“He talked about, he was very complimentary about some of the economic things I had done. And he talked about − he thought I was leaving with a good record, kind of thing. I tried to make it clear that there was no need, and it was counterintuitive for his interest to go back and try to settle scores,” he added.

USA Today Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page asked the president if Trump gave him an answer on what he planned on doing once sworn in to office. Biden said he did not give him an answer and “just basically listened.” (Read more from “Biden Says He’s Considering Preemptively Pardoning Anthony Fauci, Maybe Two Others” HERE)

‘Spit in the Face of Every American’: Watch Man Photographed With Would-Be Trump Assassin Get Presidential Medal of Freedom

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Joe Biden spit in the face of every American on Saturday as he awarded Hillary Clinton and George Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom – the nation’s highest civilian honor.

Other undeserving recipients include Bill Nye the [Communist] science guy, Denzel Washington, Anna Wintour and Chef Jose Andres, the man who was photographed with would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh.

“José Andrés is a renowned Spanish-American culinary innovator who popularized tapas in the United States. His World Central Kitchen provides large-scale relief to communities affected by natural disasters and conflict around the world,” Biden said in a press release.

In September federal prosecutors charged Ryan Routh with attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate after he pushed the muzzle of his rifle through the fence line at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course.

Ryan Routh was previously charged with two federal gun crimes: Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession (max penalty of 15 years in prison and $250,000 fine), and receipt of a firearm with an obliterated serial number (max penalty of 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine).

Biden Mumbles Nonsense While Singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to Kid He Brought on Stage

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden’s fumble went viral across social media after another embarrassing gaffe while singing “Happy Birthday” to a White House guest.

During an event marking the signing of the Social Security Fairness Act on Sunday, Biden attempted to sing “Happy Birthday” to 17-year-old Eliseo Jimenez. Jimenez became nationally known after he walked from Lubbock, Texas, to Washington, D.C. in order to spread awareness about the limits of Social Security.

“Eliseo is just around the corner from receiving Social Security,” Biden joked before announcing that Jimenez’s birthday was the next day.

Less than a minute later, Biden appeared to either forget his name entirely or how to correctly say it while leading the audience in singing “Happy Birthday,” mumbling instead as the crowd sang, “…dear Eliseo.” The mumble was so pronounced that Jimenez reacted and laughed as if it were a joke.

This verbal error from Biden was the latest of many gaffes that have made Americans, particularly his critics, skeptical about his mental acuity and wary of his defenders.

Biden Curses At Reporters Amid Bizarre Rant About Immigrants

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden lashed out on reporters Sunday evening while rambling about his administration, the border crisis and President-elect Donald Trump.

“Is white supremacy still the biggest threat to the United States?” one reporter asked Biden after signing the Social Security Fairness Act into law.

“One of the many threats — look, any kind of [inaudible] of supremacy is a threat to United States. Look, we are the most extensive, multicultural nation in the world. It’s the reason why we’re so strong. It’s the reason why we’re who we are. It’s not a problem. It’s not — it’s not in spite of — I mean, you know, we go all the way back, every major flow of immigrants, from my Irish ancestors in the 1840s to people the Italians came in the turn of the century. I mean, this has been — it’s who we are, and we are so connected to the rest of the world. Everywhere I go, [the] rest of the world gets it,” the president began in response to the question.

Biden then pivoted to talking about the border and his control of the migrant crisis.

“When I became president, the numbers came way down, number one. Number two, we had a circumstance where I pushed very hard for bipartisan agreement to put more people on the border, more, more secret service agent[s], and guess what? He’s on the phone saying, ‘Don’t do it. Don’t do it, [it will] make me look bad. That bill, that bill is ridiculous. It’s ridiculous,’” he continued.

World Sits On Razor’s Edge As Biden Quietly Caps Off His Final Year In Office

/2 Comments/in , /by

As President Joe Biden concludes his final year in office and prepares to hand the reins over to Donald Trump, he leaves behind an increasingly unstable world stage.

Tensions in Europe, the Middle East and East Asia have only increased towards the end of 2024, with U.S. adversaries making big moves as Biden quietly fades from the world stage. As Trump takes office, foreign policy fires he will have to contend with include the years-long war in Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas War, the freshly-ignited Syrian civil war and an increasingly aggressive China that’s hellbent on solidifying its position as the U.S.’ greatest adversary, economically and militarily.

“There’s a certain ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ quality to this entire discussion,” Justin Logan, director of defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “It’s clear that the President of the United States is not making detailed day-to-day decisions on these issues.”

Despite receiving a whopping $130 billion in U.S. military aid since its conflict with Russia began, Ukraine has so far failed to change the course of the war, with both adversaries trying to make incremental gains in anticipation of Trump taking office, who may force a peace settlement. The Biden administration has expressed little interest in diplomacy with Russia, pouring an additional $2.5 billion to aid Ukraine just as Biden is set to leave office, according to the White House Monday.

“They go to the positions once and if they survive, they never return. They either leave their positions, refuse to go into battle, or try to find a way to leave the army,” a Ukrainian battalion commander told CNN in September on Ukrainian troops morale.

Joe Biden’s Top Gaffes Of 2024

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s 2024 was as gaffe-filled as ever, ultimately leading to him dropping out of the presidential race. The Daily Caller rounded up those top moments as pundits and voters alike reflect on 2024.

1. Biden V. Robert Hur

The then 81-year-old committed one of his most memorable gaffes of the year behind closed doors in an interview with special counsel Robert Hur. Upon the release of a report on Biden’s handling of classified documents, Hur declined to charge Biden because a jury may see the president “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” . . .

2. White House Corrects Biden 148 Times Over Four Months

A Daily Caller analysis revealed that between January and April 24, the White House communications staff had to correct the official transcripts of Biden’s remarks at least 148 times.

Anytime the president gives a speech or takes questions, the White House releases an official transcript. A Daily Caller review of the transcripts showed that communications staff frequently correct or modify them to include corrections to names, dates and titles of organizations. . .

3. ‘We Beat Medicare’

Biden’s June debate performance was disastrous and eventually led to his departure from the 2024 presidential race. One particular moment stood out.

Trying to answer a question about the national debt and taxes, Biden froze up. CNN host Jake Tapper soon came to the president’s rescue, abruptly cutting Biden off and tossing a question to Trump.

Biden Confronts Idea He Could Have Won

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden and his close aides are evaluating his legacy in the waning weeks of his administration, including whether the 2024 election will define it.

Biden and several aides have reportedly told people recently that he could have beaten President-elect Donald Trump in spite of his poor presidential debate performance, low approval ratings, and growing concerns about his cognitive functions.

Biden ended his presidential campaign on July 21 following at least a month of mounting pressure from members of the Democratic Party, both publicly and privately. He initially stood strongly against calls that he end his campaign and even said only the “Lord Almighty” could convince him to leave. However, by July 21, Biden announced he would step down, and shortly after, he endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris.

Months later, after the Democrats’ bruising election defeat, Biden is standing by his belief that he could have won reelection, according to aides speaking with the Washington Post. While the president acknowledged that he “screwed up” during his June debate against Trump, he has suggested he still thought his focus on America’s long-term success would carry more weight with voters than fluctuating issues such as inflation.

He also recognized the changing media landscape as a factor in his campaign’s downfall. (Read more from “Biden Confronts Idea He Could Have Won” HERE)
