LOL: Biden Blasts Trump as ‘Too Old and Mentally Unfit’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden said that former President Donald Trump was mentally unfit for office, in contrast with himself, Saturday night.

Biden, 81, attended the annual Gridiron Club and Foundation Dinner for the first time during his presidency. The dinner is known for its comedic atmosphere and the attendance of foreign heads of state, with Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar attending this year. Biden turned the focus of part of his speech to his own and Trump’s, 77, mental acuity, saying that one candidate was too old and mentally unfit for the job.

“One candidate’s too old and mentally unfit to be president,” Biden said. “The other guy’s me.”

“Don’t tell him, he thinks he’s running against Barack Obama, that’s what he said,” Biden quipped. (Read more from “LOL: Biden Blasts Trump as ‘Too Old and Mentally Unfit’” HERE)

Comer Foresees Multiple Criminal Referrals in Biden Impeachment Inquiry

/1 Comment/in , /by

House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has indicated that the ongoing corruption-focused impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden is poised to escalate dramatically. Comer’s assertion was made during an appearance on Fox News.

During his appearance on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo, Chairman Comer asserted that the impeachment inquiry is poised to yield significant consequences, potentially leading to criminal referrals. The assertion comes amidst a backdrop of mounting scrutiny surrounding the Biden family’s business dealings and allegations of influence peddling.

Central to the impeachment inquiry are allegations of influence peddling and financial impropriety involving President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. Despite the Biden camp’s denials and attempts to dismiss the inquiry as a “sham,” Comer insists that the evidence uncovered thus far paints a damning picture.

According to Comer, the inquiry has unearthed a trail of suspicious activity, including numerous shell companies used to facilitate money laundering and funnel payments to various members of the Biden family. The payments, originating from countries like Romania, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and Russia, allegedly occurred during Joe Biden’s tenure as vice president.

While Comer acknowledges encountering significant obstruction from the White House and Biden’s legal team, he maintains that the investigation has still managed to gather substantial evidence. This evidence, he contends, points to a pattern of criminal wrongdoing within the Biden family, necessitating the pursuit of criminal referrals.

Report: Joe Biden Is ‘Angry and Anxious’ About Lagging Reelection Campaign

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrat President Joe Biden is “angry and anxious” about his struggling reelection campaign, NBC News reports.

Things are so bad inside the White House that, at one recent meeting where advisers informed Biden of his falling poll numbers in battleground states like Michigan and Georgia, Biden then began yelling and cursing at staffers.

“President Joe Biden was seething,” NBC’s Peter Nicholas, Courtney Kube, and Carol E. Lee wrote on Sunday. “In a private meeting at the White House in January, allies of the president had just told him that his poll numbers in Michigan and Georgia had dropped over his handling of the war between Israel and Hamas. Both are battleground states he narrowly won four years ago, and he can’t afford any backsliding if he is to once again defeat Donald Trump. He began to shout and swear, a lawmaker familiar with the meeting said. He believed he had been doing what was right, despite the political fallout, he told the group, according to the lawmaker.”

White House spokesman Andrew Bates told NBC News about the incident in January: “President Biden makes national security decisions based on the country’s national security needs alone — no other factor.”

But whatever spin the White House and Biden’s campaign puts on the situation, the facts are clear: Biden is losing this election right now. Biden has only fallen worse since January. Polls across nearly every battleground state show former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president in 2024 and Biden’s general election opponent, leading the current president significantly.

Biden Asks Staffer for Permission to Take Questions Before Reporters Are Ushered Away

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Biden on Thursday was heard asking for permission from a staffer to “take a couple of questions” from the audience during a campaign stop in Michigan — prompting other aides to quickly move the press out of earshot.

“Can I take a couple questions?” Biden, 81, asked a female staffer as he met with supporters and campaign volunteers on the front porch of a Saginaw city council member’s home.

“Yeah, we’re going to take a few questions,” the staffer responded.

The staffer’s response apparently served as a signal to three other aides, who quickly began to herd up the reporters already positioned on the sidewalk about 20 feet away.

“Thank you, press … back in the vehicles,” they shouted, escorting the media away before Biden could take any questions.

Biden Claims He Got A Standing Ovation At Law School, Critics Call BS

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden claimed that he received a standing ovation while he was in law school — for a speech about a case he hadn’t even read — and critics immediately called BS.

Biden recounted the alleged incident during his five hours of interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur – and the story went public earlier this week when, ahead of Hur’s Capitol Hill testimony, the transcripts of those interviews were published.

According to the president, he was called on in a torts class to discuss a case that he had not read — but said that his subsequent 10-minute discussion on that case was so impressive that his classmates responded with a standing ovation.

“We had a really difficult professor,” Biden said. “He called on me to discuss a case, you know, in your first torts class. And I had never read the case, and I stood up and I spoke for 10 minutes. The whole class stood up, started clapping.”

Based on the responses to Biden’s story — many of which were posted via X in the following days — most did not believe that the standing ovation had ever actually taken place.

Joe Biden Mourns Suicide of Nonbinary Teen: ‘End Discrimination’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden mourned the death of Nex Benedict on Thursday, a nonbinary teen in Oklahoma who killed herself following an altercation with other students.

As the Associated Press (AP) reported, an autopsy determined that Dagny Benedict, who went by the name Nex, died by suicide from a toxic mix of pharmaceutical drugs the day after a supposed scuffle with three girls in the bathroom at their high school in Owasso, Oklahoma. . .

In a statement on Thursday, President Biden called Nex Benedict a “kid who just wanted to be accepted.”

“Every young person deserves to have the fundamental right and freedom to be who they are, and feel safe and supported at school and in their communities. Nex Benedict, a kid who just wanted to be accepted, should still be here with us today,” wrote the president.

“Nonbinary and transgender people are some of the bravest Americans I know. But nobody should have to be brave just to be themselves. In memory of Nex, we must all recommit to our work to end discrimination and address the suicide crisis impacting too many nonbinary and transgender children,” he continued.

Elon Musk Says He’s ‘Leaning Away From Biden’ in Clip of Testy Don Lemon Interview Aired After X Show’s Abrupt Cancellation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Billionaire businessman Elon Musk said Wednesday that he’s not yet inclined to support either Donald Trump or Joe Biden in the 2024 general election but revealed he’s “leaning away” from the 81-year-old incumbent.

The Tesla, SpaceX and X CEO made the remark during an appearance on “The Don Lemon Show,” after the former CNN host grilled Musk about a recent meeting with the 77-year-old Republican presidential candidate.

“Are you leaning towards anyone?” Lemon asked Musk, 52, in a clip shown on CNN, where the former anchor appeared after Musk abruptly canceled the program following the interview.

“No,” Musk responded before adding with a laugh, “I’m leaning away from Biden.”

Trump reportedly crossed paths with Musk in Palm Beach, Fla., last week, and hopes to have a lengthier meeting with the electric car, rocket and social media tycoon in the future, according to the New York Times.

Snickers Fires Back at Joe Biden’s Claim That the Company Is Duping Customers With ‘Shrinkflation’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Snickers is contradicting President Joe Biden’s claim that the size of its candy bars are being secretly reduced.

In his State of the Union address last Thursday, Biden accused snack companies of shrinkflation, a process whereby a manufacturer includes less product in packaging while not adjusting the price.

“Look, too many corporations raise prices to pad their profits, charging more and more for less and less. That’s why we’re cracking down on corporations that engage in price-gouging and deceptive pricing, from food to health care to housing,” Biden said. “In fact, the snack companies think you won’t notice if they change the size of the bag and put a hell of a lot fewer — same size bag — put fewer chips in it. No, I’m not joking. It’s called shrinkflation.” . . .

But Mars Inc., the candy company that manufactures the Snickers bar, released a statement accusing Biden of not telling the truth.

The statement read:

We have not reduced the size of Snickers singles or share size in the U.S. Like many industries, we continue to face high inflation and spikes in material costs; however, we work to absorb these extra costs wherever possible to provide affordable treats and the best value. Final prices are always at the discretion of the retailer, but we make every effort to minimize costs to provide a full range of delicious products.

Special Counsel Robert Hur Gives Explosive Testimony to Congress About Criminal Probe Into Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

Special Counsel Robert Hur gave explosive testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday in which he confirmed that President Joe Biden made false statements during his interview with investigators.

Hur found during his criminal investigation that Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials,” but argued for no charges to be brought because Biden had serious cognitive issues — including not remembering when his son died or when he served as vice president in the Obama administration. Hur concluded that a jury would view Biden as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

Hur told Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) that the Biden administration tried to alter his report before it was released to the public.

Hur pushed back forcefully against claims from Democrats during the hearing, like Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), who falsely claimed that Hur exonerated Biden.

“So this lengthy, expensive and independent investigation resulted in a complete exoneration of President Joe Biden,” Jayapal claimed. “For every document you discussed in your report, you found insufficient evidence that the president violated any laws about possession or retention of classified materials. The primary law that you analyze for potential prosecution was part of the Espionage Act, 18 U.S.C. 793, which criminalizes willful retention or disclosure of national defense information. Is that correct?” (Read more from “Special Counsel Robert Hur Gives Explosive Testimony to Congress About Criminal Probe Into Biden” HERE)

Oops: Released Transcripts Show Biden Lied About Key Detail in Documents Probe

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden lied about his testimony with special counsel Robert Hur, according to new transcripts of Hur’s interviews with Biden over his handling of classified documents.

Hur’s February report concluded that Biden willfully retained classified documents but recommended no criminal charges in part because it said that Biden had a faulty memory and would appear as a sympathetic old man to a jury. One of the key details included in the report was that Biden did not remember the year his son Beau died. Biden said that he was taken aback by a question about his son, claiming that it was Hur who brought up the death.

“There’s even a reference that I don’t remember when my son died,” Biden said in February. “How in the hell dare he raise that? Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself: It wasn’t any of their damn business.”

The transcripts, obtained by ABC, show that it was actually Biden who brought up his son. Biden’s confusion came after he was asked about what he was doing after Trump took office.

“And so I hadn’t, I hadn’t at this point … I hadn’t walked away from the idea that I may run for office again. But if I ran again, I’d be running for president,” he said, according to the transcript obtained by ABC. “And, and so what was happening though — what month did Beau die? Oh, God, May 30th-” (Read more from “Oops: Released Transcripts Show Biden Lied About Key Detail in Documents Probe” HERE)
