Age, Stability

The parade of people who are openly discussing the physical and mental decline of the nation's oldest-ever president continues to grow. And those voices are not all coming from the Fox News Channel or other conservative outlets. This week their ranks were joined by two former aides to President Barack Obama who worked directly with Joe Biden when he was the veep. Appearing on the "Pod Save America" podcast, Jon Favreau, Obama's chief speechwriter, expressed concern and exasperation over Biden's recent appearances. Favreau called Biden's age "a very real issue." He referred to him as "frail" and "mumbly" while also referencing the way Biden "shuffles" around and is unsteady

Favreau, who had been Kerry's speechwriter... part-time, he also worked as a telemarketer selling newspapers.. was called into newly elected senator Obama's office on his FIRST DAY as a senator, and hired to be his "Presidential Campaign" speechwriter.

There is another Ldotter besides me who remembers Biden saying something before his election about bringing us the most corrupt administration ever conceived. I cut & pasted it, but it is hidden in a text file somewhere low in the bowels of this computer.

He also said he would only serve one term if elected-- those clips were from the Presidential debates. So much has been covered up to prop this idiot Vegetable up, they can no longer fool the American people NO MATTER how they try to tell us things are great-- Look at your grocery bill-- out of what with 30% less buying power Look at the price of houses-- too few available and loan rates quarupled Look at the INVASION of uneducated, unskilled, unvaccinated welfare population Only those already on the dole could vote for such a farce!

Corrections: There is no such thing as an Ex-Obama staffer, they are all tainted for life. Fox News Channel is NOT a conservative outlet. That "fair and balanced" pendulum now swings way too far to the left and has caused them to lose half their audience.

It's not his age; it is his dementia. It is getting worse. He has always lied and started laundering money through his son and China long before he aged. The Press just doesn't want us to know that so they keep harping on his age. He's a crook and a very good one at that. Jill and Hunter are just as crooked and they arent' 80 years old.

It’s not Biden’s age that should be concerning, it’s Biden’s rapidly declining cognitive abilities that should be of great concern. As when a person who is elected President, it is for a four year term. As Biden’s cognitive abilities are obviously declining, so at what level will those cognitive abilities be in two or three years on into the future? Remember Biden controls the US nuclear deterrent codes, one Biden mistake there could cause Biden to order the wrong country bombed, and when that comes to the possible use of nuclear weapons or hesitating to use nuclear weapons as a response to an incoming attack on the USA, to say the least would be a big deal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called a rare midweek press conference on Thursday to emphasize that Israel would continue to fight in Gaza, and defend its interests in spite of international pressure to end the war. Netanyahu spoke in the wake of a stampede in northern Gaza in which dozens of Palestinians were killed as they mobbed humanitarian aid trucks before dawn Wednesday morning. During the chaos, which reportedly occurred in several waves, Israeli soldiers were charged by civilians and opened fire when the crowd ignored warning shots. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said its soldiers were responsible for no more than ten of the deaths in the incident.

The Senate on Thursday passed a short-term spending bill that punts this weekend’s shutdown threat to later in the month, but leaves questions about how Congress will fund the government through the rest of the year. Senators voted 77-13 to send the funding measure to President Biden’s desk for his signature, just hours after the House voted overwhelmingly to pass the bill 320-99 and just a day before a tranche of government funding was set to expire.

Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.), Mike Braun (Ind.), Ted Budd (N.C.), Mike Crapo (Idaho), Ted Cruz (Texas), Josh Hawley (Mo.), Ron Johnson (Wis.), Mike Lee (Utah), Roger Marshall (Kan.), Eric Schmitt (Mo.), Rick

On a day made for split screens and picture-in-picture, former President Donald Trump and President Biden made near-simultaneous trips to Texas Thursday and offered very different prescriptions for the migrant crisis that has overwhelmed authorities at the US-Mexico border. In Eagle Pass, ground zero for the most recent surge, Trump decried what he called a “Joe Biden invasion” of American territory. In Brownsville, 325 miles to the southeast, Biden, 81, demanded Republicans in Congress “show a little spine” and approve a bipartisan supplemental spending bill that he said offered “more resources” to address the crisis. Trump, who arrived at his destination earlier in the day, was given a tour

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin testified in front of the House Armed Services Committee Thursday morning in a hearing devoted to uncovering still unknown information about his January hospitalization. The hearing did not do much in the way of fact finding — especially where the four-day period in which President Joe Biden was unaware of Austin’s absence was concerned — but it did reveal that the Pentagon’s top official either does not know or will not say who gave the order for his deputy to assume his duties while Austin recovered. Under questioning from Representative Mike Gallagher (R., Wis.), Austin clarified that he was unable, because

The House on Thursday approved a short-term funding bill to avert a partial government shutdown this weekend, sending the legislation to the Senate one day before Friday’s funding deadline. The legislation — which cleared the chamber in a 320-99 vote — kicks the two government funding deadlines to March 8 and March 22, buying lawmakers more time to hash out their differences on spending bills and push them over the finish line. Trouble, however, could loom ahead. While lawmakers say they have a deal on the six appropriations bills due next week, disagreements remain on the other half-dozen measures, which include more controversial pieces of legislation funding agencies like the Pentagon

A federal judge on Thursday blocked a Texas law that would have empowered local and state law enforcement to arrest and deport illegal immigrants who cross the Southern border into the U.S. The legislation, signed by Governor Greg Abbott in December, was set to take effect March 5. However, U.S. district judge David Ezra ruled that Senate Bill 4 violated the Constitution and prior legal precedent that gives the federal government the sole authority to enforce immigration laws and policies. “To allow Texas to permanently supersede federal directives on the basis of an invasion would amount to nullification of federal law and authority — a notion that is antithetical to the Constitution

Russian president Vladimir Putin on Thursday threatened Western nations with the prospect of nuclear war, saying Moscow has the ability to strike “targets on their territory” if they continue supporting Ukraine. “(Western nations) must realize that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory,” Putin said during his annual State of the Nation address to the Russian parliament. “All this really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons and the destruction of civilization. Don’t they get that?!” Putin’s warning comes after European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen suggested using frozen Russian assets to fund the Ukrainian war effort.

You've probably seen the breathless headlines emerging this week featuring Joe Biden suggesting that a ceasefire deal in Gaza was "close" to being finalized and that at least some hostages and prisoners could be exchanged. Most of us would likely be glad to see hostages coming home, so that's good news, right? And Biden assured us that he'd gotten that information from National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, so the claim must have been pretty solid. There's only one problem with the story and the assumptions that followed, though. As the Free Beacon quickly pointed out, some reporters had been following up with their sources in Israel and around

As anyone even halfway aware of Bud Light’s financial woes since putting Dylan Mulvaney on one their cans predicted, their attempt to reclaim their domination of the beer market via funny Super Bowl ads did not have the intended result. If anything, it was a waste of a $7 million plus brand rehabilitation effort. The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that, despite the astronomical amounts of money Anheuser-Busch expended on the prime ad space of the Super Bowl, the company’s attempt to boost their flagging sales “barely moved the needle.”

Top congressional leaders on Capitol Hill struck a partial budget deal to temporarily avert a government shutdown on Wednesday. Leaders including House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., secured an agreement for six funding bills, four of which were to expire Friday. Those bills and their corresponding agencies, which included agriculture, veterans affairs and housing, will now remain funded through March 8. The rest of the government's funding will be extended to March 22. "We are in agreement that Congress must work in a bipartisan manner to fund our government,"

An Illinois judge ruled Wednesday that former President Donald Trump should be taken off of the state's ballot for the primary election, citing the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The decision came from the Circuit Court of Cook County, and the judge put the order on pause in anticipation of an appeal. The ruling said that "based on engaging in insurrection on January 6, 2021...his name should be removed from the ballot." NBC News has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment. The Illinois GOP primary takes place March 19. The U.S. Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments regarding a similar Colorado ruling that said Trump should be removed

New York Attorney General Letitia James is suing JBS USA, the world's largest producer of beef, over the company's emissions and for "greenwashing" by allegedly misleading the public about its environmental impact. In an announcement, James noted that beef production has the largest greenhouse gas footprint of any major food commodity and that animal agriculture accounts for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. According to James, JBS USA's various net-zero pledges for 2030 and 2040 are therefore misleading and "not feasible" given the scope of its worldwide beef production operations.

“Do you believe in miracles?” Remember those words by sports broadcaster Al Michaels when the underdog US Hockey team won the Olympic Gold in the 1980 Winter Olympics. History has branded that game… “The Miracle on Ice.” See, in real life miracles do happen. We live in a negative, cynical world. Few of us really believe in miracles…and even fewer believe a miracle is happening, even when it’s happening right in front of us. But miracles happen all the time. I believe a miracle, sent directly by God, is happening right in front of us, right now. You just have to open your eyes.

Obviously, pushing all of the cases that they can push to a point where Trump will be standing for election before any of us have heard the verdicts in any of those cases. Got it. It is the timing.

A Chicago police officer is suing the city to change his race on his official records after the department said it would allow officers to freely change their gender to match their identity. Mohammad Yusuf, 43, said in a federal civil rights lawsuit filed last week that he is looking to change from “Caucasian” as he “currently identifies as Egyptian and African American.” However, the Chicago Police Department is not allowing him to change his race. The lawsuit comes as the department allows an officer’s “gender identity [to be] corrected to match their lived experience,” Yusuf’s lawsuit alleges.
