Former President Donald Trump slammed the Biden administration in a Friday statement for being “crooked” and mocked Hunter Biden’s shadowy and lucrative art career, saying it has “inspired [him] to immediately begin painting.”“While I have never painted before, Hunter has inspired me to immediately begin painting because I’ve always felt I have a talent at that, and could surely get at least $2 million dollars per canvas—and probably a lot more. I will begin immediately. Our Country is crooked as hell!” the 45th president said.The president’s son reportedly sold at least five pieces of art to anonymous buyers on October 1 for $75,000 each at his Los Angeles exhibit.

With Democrat Joe Biden appearing much like an addled absentee landlord, Judge Jeanine Pirro is wondering who is actually in control in the White House, and by logical extension, of the entire U.S. federal government.“What are we supposed to conclude when the most powerful man in the free world says that someone will reprimand him if he doesn’t do what they tell him to do?” she asked. “Is someone else in charge?”Pirro then implied that she thinks she might know who is calling the shots on a de facto basis.
Beijing has mocked America by saying their secret test of a 21,000mph nuclear-capable missile, which orbited the globe before returning to Earth to strike its target, is a 'new blow to the US's mentality of strategic superiority over China'.
The jibe follows a report from the Financial Times, which cited five unnamed intelligence sources, said the Chinese military launched the Long March rocket in August carrying a 'hypersonic glide vehicle' into low orbit.
It circled the globe before descending towards its target, which is missed by about two dozen miles, in a technological development that would overcome US anti-ballistic missile systems.

That it took President Joe Biden being in office for 64 days before giving his first press briefing on March 25 turned out to be a sign of things to come for his administration, according to Amie Parnes' article for The Hill, "Biden giving stiff-arm to press interviews."As Parnes wrote, "President Biden has only given 10 one-on-one press interviews since taking office in January, a low number that is drawing more attention toward the White House’s efforts to control and manage the way Biden interacts with reporters.How bad is 10? It's pretty bad, especially in comparison. His predecessor, Donald Trump, did more than 50 interviews through the summer

Nearly a year has passed since the 2020 election, yet there has not been a clear, satisfactory answer to the central mystery: How did a dull, declining Joe Biden manage to get more than 81 million votes and win the presidency? After all, Biden spent most of the pandemic-laced campaign in his Delaware basement and his appearances were marked by sparse crowds and signs he had lost more than a step. Yet he flipped five states Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, including Georgia and Arizona, and racked up 306 electoral votes to Donald Trump’s 232.

Biden said the cost of childcare in America made it difficult for both parents to work.
