Former President Biden was seen gripping his wife Jill and a priest as he walked down a set of steps at Pope Francis's funeral on Saturday.
Biden, 82, clasped onto the priest's forearm as he made a rare public appearance at the Vatican's Saint Peter's Square.
Wearing a pair of his favored aviator sunglasses and a black suit, he was joined by the former First Lady as they took their seats several rows behind world leaders.
Biden's apparent struggles in traversing the steps comes as

Pictures show the CIA deputy director's son who - unbeknownst to his mother and father - was fighting for Vladimir Putin in Ukraine.
Michael Gloss, 21, was killed in the war in April last year, but details of the story have only emerged now after an investigation by Russian independent news outlet iStories.
Photos showing him wearing camouflage and hanging out with soldiers have emerged.
His mother, Julianne Gallina Gloss, is the Central Intelligence Agency's deputy director for digital innovation.
His father, Larry Gloss, is a US Navy veteran who participated in Operation Desert Storm and the Iraq War.
In the wake of his son's death, Larry described him to
It is no laughing matter. The annual dinner for journalists who cover the White House is best known for American presidents trying to be funny and comedians trying to be political. But this year’s edition will feature neither.
Instead the event in a downtown Washington hotel on Saturday night will, critics say, resemble something closer to a wake for legacy media still trying to find an effective response to Donald Trump’s divide-and-rule tactics and the rise of the Maga media ecosystem.
Joe Biden’s effort to restore norms included the former president giving humorous speeches at the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) annual dinner.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified a bombshell Biden administration document this week, a blueprint for combating “domestic terrorism,” an umbrella term encompassing parents who attended school board meetings or Catholics who favored the traditional liturgy. This 2021 document, called the Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism, reveals a coordinated effort to target political opponents under the guise of national security. Its policy framework appears designed to silence and marginalize conservative viewpoints through a combination of speech monitoring, censorship, financial punishment, and gun control measures that threaten constitutional protections.
It totally and disturbingly disregards the difference between lawful expression and criminal intent. It explicitly directed the
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shocked the Defense establishment Thursday when he ordered the dismissal of dozens of Defense advisory committee members. "To support the new strategic direction and policy priorities of the Department, we require fresh thinking to drive bold changes," wrote Hegseth in a memo dismissing the committee members. "Therefore, informed by the recently concluded 45-day review, I direct the conclusion of service of all members of each DoD advisory committee, board, or panel subject to the attached memorandum (hereafter collectively referred to as 'DoD advisory committees'), consistent with applicable law."
While most of the attention has focused on the demolition of the Defense Policy Board and the
In the fall of 1945, a Dutch teenager named Frieda van Schaik wrote a letter to the US military seeking the address of the mother of an Army officer and Harvard-trained architect who was killed about a month before the German surrender.
“He is buried at the large US military cemetery in Margraten, Holland, a place of six miles from where I live,” she wrote. “I am taking care of his grave.” Van Schaik’s letter inquiring about Army Capt. Walter “Hutch” Huchthausen sent US businessman and author Robert Edsel on an eight year odyssey to document the history of the little known Netherlands American Cemetery in the village of Margraten near
Socialist Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani has made a splash in the race for New York City mayor. A relentless social media campaign has helped him raise big dollars, despite his long-shot odds (at least initially) against incumbent mayor Eric Adams and former governor Andrew Cuomo.
Mamdani has also adopted a platform of terrible ideas. His campaign materials portray him as a Robin Hood candidate, staking out far-left positions on housing, public transit, and the minimum wage — in addition to his opposition to basic immigration enforcement and support for anti-Semitic rioters.
Bad as all that is, though, his worst policy ideas involve the city’s most vulnerable citizens — children in troubled home environments.
Council Speaker Adrienne Adams has her eye on Gracie Mansion — but she’s already living like a “queen” in fully remodeled office spaces in several boroughs, insiders told The Post.
Since being elected speaker in January 2022, the Democratic mayoral hopeful has green-lit hundreds of thousands of dollars in top-to-bottom renovations for her main digs in City Hall, a suite of offices across the street, and to move her district office to a swankier spot in Queens, sources said. From her first gavel slam, Adams made the historic and spacious speaker’s office at City Hall her own — repainting it from the understated white and pale blue
Sen. Adam Schiff revealed that his luggage was stolen in South San Francisco two years ago, and that a clerk in a nearby Target afterwards “basically said in not so many words, yeah, Democrats are a—holes” when he went shopping for toiletries.
The Golden State senator used the anecdote to acknowledge that Democrats have a “major problem” and are fundamentally “going to have to change how we do business in California.”
“We’re going to have to address people’s legitimate concerns about crime,” Schiff (D-Calif.) reflected on “Real Time with Bill Maher” Friday.
“I thought, you know, if the cashier in San Francisco at 10:00 at night believes that Democrats are

The head of a Manhattan council that partners with the NYPD resigned after being exposed by The Post for tearing down Israeli hostage posters.
Robert Josman, president and longtime member of the volunteer 24th Precinct Community Council on the Upper West Side, resigned last week amid demands for action over his repeated removal of hostage posters plastered near synagogues.
On one occasion, he told residents who confronted him that it is illegal to post anything on NYC property and said he had consulted with the police,
An illegal alien who entered the country twice during the Joe Biden open border era is giving Americans another reminder of how dangerous the legacy of those years is going to be.
Mexican national Samuel Cobos Carmona, 20, was arrested this week in Southwest Florida, on charges of raping a 13-year-old boy during a game of hide-and-seek, Charlotte County Sheriff Bill Prummel said in a video release.
When it comes to the case for condemning Democratic Party policies on illegal immigration, and proving President Donald Trump’s national crackdown is correct, Carmona could be Exhibit A.
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) responded to a question on if Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan should follow the law by stating that “no one is above the law, but I think that the law is immutable in the case of the White House.” And “we had come to some sort of agreement in this country that there were sensitive places where ICE would not operate,” and “jurists ought to be able to have control of their courtroom, and localities should not be pressured into executing and assisting ICE, and I think that’s the bigger question.”

A woke California PhD student is going viral online after declining a coveted NASA internship she spent “years” seeking — and she’s blaming “the current administration” for her shocking decision.
Daniela Lucas, a 26-year-old bioengineering student at UC San Diego, recently uploaded a TikTok video showing her dramatically selecting “Decline Offer” for an internship in NASA’s Human Health and Performance program.
“No one tells you how hard it is to reject an offer from your dream internship at NASA because of the current administration,” Lucas, 26, wrote over the video.
“I worked years to receive this letter, just to have to decline,” she added, including a crying face and devil emoji.
Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) is calling for an “uprising” in the streets of the United States until President Donald Trump stops his agenda of increased interior immigration enforcement.
This week, Wilson joined other House Democrats in touring the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Krome Detention Center, which holds criminal illegal aliens while they await their deportations from the U.S. Following the tour, Wilson held a press conference where she told voters to call the offices of congressional Republicans and “threaten” them. She also called for an “uprising” in the streets until the Trump administration stops arresting and deporting illegal aliens.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has formally terminated the service of every member sitting on the Department of Defense’s advisory committees.
Based on the information available on the website two days ago, the now-defunct panels included several well-known Democrats and Bush-era Republicans.
Janine Davidson (Chair) – Former Under Secretary of the Navy under Obama. A staunch Democrat and longtime proponent of Obama-era military reforms, now steering Pentagon policy advice.
Michèle Flournoy – Held major Pentagon roles under Clinton and Obama; often discussed as a potential Secretary of Defense under Hillary Clinton or Biden.
Colin Kahl – National Security Advisor to then-VP Biden, later Under Secretary of Defense for Policy under Biden. .
Susan Rice, an ally of Barack Obama who served in multiple roles in both his and Joe Biden's administrations, called Pete Hegseth 'dumb as a rock' after he fired her from a Pentagon policy board.
Rice, 60, was the United States' Ambassador to the United Nations during Obama's first term and served as his National Security Advisor for his second.
She also spent two years as the director of the Domestic Policy Council under Biden and has served as a member of the Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee at the Pentagon.
Here at American Thinker, we predicted that AOC is a real possibility as the 2028 Democrat party presidential candidate. Yesterday, AOC made it plain that she thinks so, too. AOC’s appeal to the left is obvious: She’s female, glib, telegenic, well-recognized, vaguely Hispanic, antisemitic, and a truly leftist ideologue. Bernie Sanders rightly sees her as the bridge between his old-fashioned class warfare and the new multi-culti warfare, both vehicles for the Marxist overthrow of the West. That’s why the two of them have been appearing in venues across America to rally the true believers.
Procter & Gamble and other prominent corporations fund a "racial justice" group whose leader, a former Obama White House official, lashed out this week at what he called "white mediocrity" and urged a "woke" army of black youth "to wage war with whiteness."
David Johns, who led President Barack Obama’s White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans, made the remarks at an event Tuesday to promote a boycott against Target for rolling back its DEI programs.
Johns is the executive director of the National Black Justice Coalition, a black LGBT group that aims to fight "anti-Blackness." The nonprofit lists companies like Airbnb, Sephora, Sony, and Procter & Gamble as sponsors.
Former UN Ambassador and Obama National Security Advisor erupted after she was canned from the Pentagon’s Defense Police Board.
The board’s role is to provide the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of Defense with independent, informed advice and opinions concerning matters of defense policy.
Rice found out she was sacked on Thursday night.
The Daily Beast reported:
Her sacking was announced late Thursday evening, with the Defense Department issuing a statement that read, “changes are needed
Longtime Saturday Night Live star Bowen Yang received applause and laughter from The View co-hosts and the show’s audience after he called Vice President JD Vance “a pope killer.”
Co-host Sara Haines asked Yang playing Vance on the NBC sketch comedy show. “I just thought there would be better people for it,” Yang said. “It was my impostor syndrome. I was like, there are better people for this. I worked with an accent coach, I had to get it between Ohio and Appalachia with the accent. It’s hard, it’s very subtle!”
Whoopi Goldberg told Yang his Vance portrayal “was funny as hell.”
At a recent town hall in Georgia, Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) made it clear that he believes President Donald Trump’s actions justify impeachment, even as Trump remains widely popular in the state Ossoff represents. The exchange took place during a tense back-and-forth with an unhinged Karen who demanded that Ossoff do more to remove Trump from office.
The woman, sounding like she was auditioning to be a co-host of "The View," railed against what she called “authoritative rule” and demanded drastic action. “I will not live in an authoritative country, and neither will any of these people,” she shouted. “He needs to be impeached. I will not live like this…
Former President Joe Biden, the nation’s second Catholic president, will attend Pope Francis‘s funeral this weekend in Rome.
“President Biden and Dr. Biden will attend Pope Francis’s funeral,” a Biden spokesperson confirmed to the Washington Examiner.
Biden did not attend the funeral of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in 2023, which occurred during his presidency. Benedict served as pope from 2005 through 2013, when he took the unusual step of becoming pope emeritus at 85.
Former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush will not attend the funeral.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Reports” that President Donald Trump’s actions against Harvard University are lawless, reckless, and vicious.
Jansing said, “As you know, Harvard University is suing the Trump Administration for freezing billions in funding to the school after it rejected a list of the administration’s demands. Is Harvard doing the right thing?
Schumer said, “Yes. In fact, today, a group of Jewish senators and myself sent a letter to the administration telling them that, look, going against anti-semitism is important, but what they’ve done goes way beyond that.
Former President Joe Biden and wife Jill Biden arrived at Saint Peter’s Square in Vatican City Saturday morning for Pope Francis’ funeral.
The 82-year-old, who met Pope Francis three times as vice president, held onto his wife and a priest as he cautiously walked down the stairs to the seating area.
The Bidens are not sitting near President Donald Trump as they are not current heads of state. Instead, they are sitting further back in the foreign dignitaries section.
