Joe Biden, America’s oldest ever president, said Monday night the focus on his age as he seeks a return to the White House in 2024 is understood before boldly declaring he is running again because Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans wanted to “destroy” U.S. democracy. The octogenarian addressed the issue of his age during an elite fundraiser at a Broadway theatre in New York, declaring his experience helped him deal with crises like Ukraine and coronavirus, AFP reports. Funds raised at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre gala were destined for the Biden Victory Fund.

The flop sweat of desperation hits the EstablishmentWhy are they suddenly saying Biden is too old to run for a second term?The mugshot didn’t work.There. That is the column. It is simple as that. Panic set in and our overlords will sacrifice Biden by throwing him under the Bus of Baal. They must feed the monster to keep President Trump from winning a third consecutive presidential election.This week, the media in unison declared Joe Biden is too old to be president. Odd that they discovered this now because he has been a doddering old fool since suffering his aneurisms (plural)...

Back in 1984, President Reagan got the age question and turned it around masterfully by bringing up Walter Mondale's youth and inexperience. I was watching and he got reelected that night. Just for the record, Mr. Reagan turned 78 two weeks after completing two terms. Mr. Biden will be 81 this year!President Reagan had another huge advantage, i.e. a successful presidency based on a good economy and a sense that he commanded respect around the world. It didn’t hurt that the VP was a man named Bush rather than a woman named Harris. Over at the New York Times, Bret...

It seems like Joe Biden keeps getting worse every day—and the American people are noticing. Whether making things up or just being incoherent, he keeps deteriorating. He has terrible approval numbers, and the majority have made it clear that they don't think he should be running again. So you wouldn't expect people to be jumping up and down with glee that, at least at this point, he appears to be running. But when people were asked for the one word they thought of when they thought of Joe Biden, the response had to be making the Biden team tear their...

It’s been too obvious to ignore for some time now and the most recent polling from AP/NORC confirms that people are noticing and the media is being forced to address it. Joe Biden is simply too old to be president and he can not be effective for a second term. (We can save the debate over how “effective” he’s been in his first term for another day.) Most of the legacy media has tried to ignore this fact for as long as possible, and some people like Joe Scarborough at MSNBC continue to insist that Biden is full of vim...

Scripture makes clear that sexual immorality is an offense to God and harmful to those who engage in it. “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?” asked Paul of the church in Corinth. “Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God” (I Cor. 6:9-10).

Dr. John F. Clauser, born 1942, is an American theoretical and experimental physicist known for contributions to the foundations of quantum mechanics. Clauser was awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, jointly with Alain Aspect and Anton Zeilinger “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science.” Dr. Clauser spoke in July at the event Quantum Korea 2023. What follows is a transcript of his remarks that prompted the International Monetary Fund to cancel his appearance this week, and began a predictable trajectory of broader cancellation. Below find the speech and transcript. Oh,...

ormer House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that President Joe Biden’s age should not be a factor in the 2024 presidential election. Pelosi said, “I think the president should embrace his age, his experience, the knowledge that he brings to the job. Actually, the leader on the other side is not much younger. I don’t like to use his name, but you know who I mean. He’s not that much younger. So I don’t think age is a relative thing. And I think this president, our country is very well served by his leadership, again,...

I am 81 years old. I am not running for President of the United States. Eighty is an age that consumes relentlessly. It presents visual challenges, plays with the mind, messes with the limbs, garbles syntax, disassociates memory from fact. To name a few. Also among the many reasons I am not running for the presidency is that few people have actually heard of me, and many of those who have might not consider me to be presidential timber. That brings us to Joe Biden: Though I very much dislike his policies, I wince but don’t laugh at his gaffes...

We’re all getting older. Almost every demographic in the United States is having fewer children. Population growth is slowing, and immigration rates are not fast enough to keep up with the aging nation.In 1970, the median age was 28. Half the population was older than 28, and half the population was younger than 28. This midpoint is now approaching 40. So we’ve shifted from a younger nation to a middle-aged nation.The economic implications of this shift are enormous but beyond the scope of this brief article. However, what is of note to the church is the aging of pastors, which...

They're a marine delicacy loved across Asia, but the humble sea cucumber is also proving to be a key ingredient in preventing diabetes, according to new research. Exploring the medicinal properties of sea cucumbers (Holothuria scabra), researchers found that processed dried sea cucumber with salt extracts can inhibit a compound that is associated with increased risk of diabetes, thereby reducing the likelihood of the disease. To date, there is no commercially available therapeutic agent to inhibit the formation of this compound, called Advanced Glycation End product (AGE). AGEs form when proteins and/or fats combine with sugars in the bloodstream. When...

Is Joe Biden too old to seek a return to high office in 2024? Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has conceded his age does pose a challenge but urged voters to look beyond the president’s advancing years to embrace his record instead. Clinton, 75, addressed the 80-year-old president’s fitness for office at the Financial Times Weekend Festival in Washington over the weekend, saying “his age is an issue, and people have every right to consider” it, according to Fox News.

Assistant House Democrat leader Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), who also serves as President Joe Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign co-chair, said the president’s age is a “legitimate concern.” Clyburn reportedly speaks with the president regularly and has been credited for helping Biden win their party’s primary during the 2020 presidential election. His endorsement of Biden in the primary ultimately helped him over the finish line after suffering multiple early-state losses.

MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle previewed her interview with President Joe Biden Friday on MSNBC’s “The Beat,” in which the president said he knew “more than the vast majority of people” when asked about his advanced age being a factor to voters in the 2024 presidential race. Ruhle said, “There is not a Fortune 500 company in the world looking to hire a CEO in his 80s, so, why would an 82-year-old Joe Biden be the right person for the most important job in the world?”

Even White House staffers admit that President Biden’s advanced age is affecting his workload. Days after the 80-year-old formally announced he would run for re-election in 2024, Axios reported Friday that aides say it’s tough to schedule “public or private events” with Biden at certain times of day — namely weekends, mornings, and evenings. In fact, the report adds, most of Biden’s public events happen between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. That works out to a 30-hour workweek — even less than the official 35-hour workweek in France. So far this year, Biden has held just four events before 10...
