Joe Biden can take his armoured Beast limo to the Queen's funeral rather than catching the bus, it emerged last night. French President Emmanuel Macron, Japan’s Emperor Natuhito and Israel’s President Herzog are also all likely to avoid the heads-of-state coach trip. They will instead be allowed to take their own transport to Westminster Abbey next Monday. The US President, for instance, can take his armoured Cadillac, known as the Beast, for security reasons. His £1.5m behemoth weighs 11 tons, has eight-inch armour and can reportedly withstand a chemical attack. A government source told The Times it would be inappropriate

Comments:

Talk about carbon footprints. The 11 ton 'Beast' will guzzle many gallons of planet-warming gas and tie up traffic for miles. Why not ride an electric skooter?

On Nigel Farange’s program today, a couple of British security agents said special security exceptions always made for a United States President, and should be. I just hate it all being for this particular President of the USA. Yuk.

They have to allow Biden to have his car. If he let one rip in a bus, they would have to evacuate it.

He has to be in a tightly controlled medium. On the bus with other leaders he would likely start babbling nonsense and drool everywhere. How much is it costing us to ship that thing to the funeral?

To all our friends in the UK and the Commonwealth, I would like to apologize in advance for the fool Joe Biden is going to make of himself, and us by extension, at the Queen's funeral. If he starts talking about His Son Beau, turn off his mic and lure him offstage with some pudding!

Joe Biden believes he is loved and admired by the world. In his addlepated brain that makes sense to him. However, the world knows Joe is a demented old fool propped up by his handlers and who knows the amount of drugs it takes to make him mobile. It is shameful that he will be representing us on such a solemn occasion. I hope the Brits seat him away from the cameras and in the back because you can count on him falling asleep or worse. I pity the poor folks sitting near him and would advise them to bring a scented handkerchief. Queen Consort Camilla can attest to that requirement. As she tells the story, she was on the receiving end of one of Joe’s little flatulent bombs.

Other world leaders do not want to ride on the same bus as Joe now that they know about his personal "accidents" so I would imagine they agree with the decision. A diaper can only do so much. He is an international embarrassment. FJB

This is just another media created and driven “crisis” that never really happened. The British never had the intention of downgrading the security of the President of the USA. Much more important, and ignored, was the decision by the British to limit the number of funeral invitees from each foreign country, excepting European and Asian royalty, to the foreign leader and his or her life partner. That decision stopped Biden from forming up a big Democrat politicized delegation to accompany him to the UK and showing up at the funeral.

Friction between the Biden White House and senior officials at the Department of Homeland Security over how to handle immigration is mounting, according to internal documents and communications reviewed by NBC News, as the number of undocumented migrants crossing the southern border keeps rising and Republican governors send migrants to more Democratic-run cities. The White House has recently hosted a series of high-level meetings on immigration, where DHS officials have presented options, including flying migrants to the country’s northern border with Canada to alleviate overcrowding on the U.S.-Mexico border, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the discussions.

An accelerating campaign by Republican governors to send migrants to Democratic strongholds, initially seen by many Democratic officials as a political stunt, now has those officials scrambling as migrants unexpectedly arrive in a widening number of locales. The latest instance of the campaign came Wednesday afternoon when planes carrying 50 migrants seeking asylum, mostly from Venezuela, landed unexpectedly in Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts. Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s office confirmed that the state orchestrated the flights. The moves follow similar efforts by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, who in recent months have each sent thousands of

A second earthquake equipped with an aftershock rattled the Bay Area on the heels of Monday's milder earthquake felt in Los Angeles. On Tuesday, a 4.4-magnitude quake with a 4.3 aftershock a minute later hit Santa Rosa, California, at 6:30 p.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). It comes just a day after a "small" 2.6 magnitude earthquake was felt in Canoga Park, California, roughly 430 miles southeast of Santa Rosa, even though the USGS said earthquakes usually aren't felt if they're less than a 2 magnitude on the Richter scale.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., has closed the gap in his re-election race, erasing a seven-point deficit to take a one-point lead over his Democratic opponent, Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, according to a new poll released Wednesday. While Johnson’s 49%-48% lead among likely voters is within the poll’s margin of error, it’s a huge reversal for Johnson in the Marquette Law School poll, considered the gold standard of polling in Wisconsin. In last month's Marquette survey, Barnes led Johnson by seven points, 51% to 44%. The most recent poll also showed Gov. Tony Evers holding his lead over GOP nominee Tim

This “news” report comes in the aftermath of violent attacks in Memphis, Tennessee. According to CNN’s Emma Tucker, “the suspects in two violent attacks there this month had been released from prison before serving their full sentences for prior convictions.” Naturally, it follows that if they had remained in prison where they belonged, they would not have been on the street to commit the gruesome crimes that they committed.

WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden celebrated his climate change and drug pricing law, The Inflation Reduction Act, on Tuesday on the White House lawn, highlighting Democrats' commitment to progressive priorities even as high consumer prices continue to bite. Biden signed the $430 billion bill, seen as the biggest climate change package in U.S. history, into law last month in a low-key ceremony. The Tuesday event on the White House South Lawn brought together hundreds of CEOs, lawmakers, activists and interest groups who supported it, and gave Biden an opportunity to tout drug price caps, electric vehicle grants and a minimum corporate

Inflation rose more than expected in August, continuing to create severe financial pressure for U.S. households even as the cost of gasoline fell. The Labor Department said Tuesday that the consumer price index, a broad measure of the price for everyday goods including gasoline, groceries and rents, rose 8.3% in August from a year ago. Prices climbed 0.1% in the one-month period from July. Those figures were both higher than the 8.1% headline figure and 0.1% monthly decline forecast by Refinitiv economists, likely a worrisome sign for the Federal Reserve as it seeks to cool price gains and tame consumer

It may be time to pass on gas. The more than 40 million households in the US who use a gas stove might want to consider an alternative. New findings have shown that gas stoves — even when turned off — may cause asthma in children and put adults at risk of cancer. Dr. Jonathan Levy, an environmental health professor at Boston University, claimed the stoves may pollute the air with nitrogen dioxide, which can cause lung damage. The pollutant, a “byproduct of fuel combustion,” is also the same that is produced on major highways, but since the kitchen is an enclosed space, it puts inhabitants at more risk.
