CLAIM: President Joe Biden recently aired his oft-repeated claim he “used to Drive an 18-wheeler.” VERDICT: False. “Biden’s claim remains untrue. There is no evidence he ever drove an 18-wheeler,” CNN reported Wednesday: Biden has repeatedly embellished or invented biographical tidbits. In 2021, he claimed during a tour of a Mack Trucks facility: “I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man,” then added, “I got to.” At a separate 2021 event, he told college students studying truck technology, “I used to drive a tractor-trailer,” adding, “I only did it for part of a summer, but I got my license anyway.” Biden’s...

A horrifying video has emerged showing the moment an evil Michigan caregiver assaulted a 93-year-old dementia patient, and the victim’s daughter is speaking out. According to WEYI, the incident occurred at Landings of Genesee Valley in Flint, Michigan on April 4, but the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office obtained and released footage of the assault Thursday during a press conference. The sick footage shows the perpetrator repeatedly smashing a full diaper over the elderly woman’s head while she sits in her wheelchair and raises her arms. The sinister caregiver then chokes the woman in the bathroom before violently slapping her in...

President Joe Biden, 81, appeared to forget his own name during a speech on the economy delivered at Washington, D.C.’s Union Station on Tuesday. “My dad used to say ‘A job… Joey… I give you my word as a tray… ‘” the President began, confusingly stumbling over his words. Abandoning the anecdote, Biden said: “A job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It’s about your dignity. It’s about respect.”In a video of the speech, Biden briefly hesitates while attempting to quote his father’s words, appearing unclear how his father referred to him in the anecdote before settling on...

At present, it seems unlikely that Americans will re-elect a frail, rapidly declining octogenarian to be our commander-in-chief. Still, one should never underestimate the Democrat party’s uncanny ability to spread lies, cheat early and often, and simply steal elections by any means necessary. Should old, senile Joe Biden somehow get re-elected, his handlers will unfortunately have to make provisions for his rapidly accelerating dementia. We’re talking simple things, like the elder shoes with huge soles and fake laces that Biden already sports. SNIP Speaking’s going to be a real problem in Biden’s next term, too. He already garbles his words,...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are neurodegenerative diseases that commonly occur in middle-aged people. Both ALS and FTD arise from neuronal degeneration through mechanisms that remain unclear. Dr. Yun-Ru (Ruby) Chen's team recently discovered a new pathological mechanism for neuronal degeneration using synthetic peptides. They also discovered that a disaccharide can increase neuronal survival and reduce degeneration. The result provides therapeutic strategies for future treatment. ALS and FTD differ in clinical symptoms, but they share many pathological features and genetic variations. Clinical data shows that more than 90% of ALS and about 70% of FTD patients are...

Fiber is essential for the digestive system. It helps maintain a healthy weight and lowers the risk of diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers. Getting the right amount of fiber, whether through food or drinks, is a great way to relieve constipation. In addition to all that, fiber supplements could improve brain function in older adults, according to a new study. The study followed individuals over the age of 60 for a 12-week period. Results found those who took prebiotic fiber supplements showed a "significant improvement in memory." The study evaluated the gut microbiome and its correlation with both cognitive...

VIDEOPoor Karine Jean-Pierre. The White House Munchkin has trouble answering questions about Joe Biden that veer even slightly outside the carefully prepared script. Such was the case when the Radio WBT radio host Mark Garrison in North Carolina asked her about Joe Biden's more than obvious dementia. As a result, the flustered Munchkin soon hung up on the interview because she couldn't handle the relatively easy questions.

Joe Biden’s team released a pre-recorded video of Biden on Saturday and tried to pass it off as a “live” event. 81-year-old Joe Biden is actually hiding out in Delaware all weekend for another vacation. Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi joined Joe Biden for his propaganda event dubbed the “National Organizing call with President Joe Biden, President Barack Obama, & Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.” Of course, Joe Biden had to prerecord the event because he needed multiple takes in order to get through his remarks. Joe Biden’s handlers had to awkwardly splice the propaganda video because he was unable to...

Joe Biden spoke to a small crowd during his speech in Las Vegas, Nevada, about his “plans” to lower housing costs when he abruptly began rambling about once being the “poorest man in Congress.” “I had the [inaudible] things to be listed as the poorest man in Congress for 36 years,” Biden began. “I got a phone call, my wife was campaigning. I was campaigning up in New Hampshire back when that statistic came out in the nineties,” he said. “And she called — I used to call them because the kids were little when I was away, and say,...

President Biden has entered the March Madness conversation. In a social media post on Wednesday, the president revealed his bracket for the 2024 NCAA competition, favoring UConn, Houston, North Carolina and Tennessee as his final four in the men's tournament. Biden also has UConn winning for the second straight year, this time against Houston. For the final four of the women's tournament, Mr. Biden predicts South Carolina, UCLA, Stanford and UConn will battle it out, with South Carolina winning in the end against UCLA.

A study provides compelling evidence for clinical practice to direct efforts toward preventing white matter damage in individuals with hypertension in order to protect against cognitive decline and dementia. Gray matter is where the brain cells exist, whereas white matter constitutes the network of nerve fibers that provides the communication connection between different areas of gray matter. The study, led by Dr. Jing Du, found that compared with gray matter, white matter is more vulnerable to raised blood pressure. "Because gray matter has a greater amount of small blood vessels, and therefore a greater supply of blood compared to white...

Your body processes drugs that you take. The rate at which they leave your body depends on the individual medication, You get an idea by how often you need to take something that has been prescribed for you. Medications taken 2-4 four times a day are generally processed fairly rapidly and are out of your bloodstream within a couple of days after they are discontinued. It's very clear that the drugs given to Joe Biden for his SOTU speech are completely out of his system and he is back to his old self. Literally his old self. Which lead one...

But even the Israelis have yet to absorb the full scope and magnitude of Biden’s accommodation of Iran. The problem is not that Sullivan and Blinken are failing to restrain Malley, but that they are marching in lockstep with him. A consensus reigns inside the administration, not just on the JCPOA but on every big question of Middle East strategy: Everyone from the president on down agrees about the need to complete what Obama started—which means that the worst is yet to come. If the control that Obama’s project exercises over every mind in the Biden administration is not already...

We've been ready to crown Joe Scarborough the King of Biden Sycophants on MSNBC. But not so fast! Looks like Alicia Menendez is determined to give Scarborough some serious competition for that dubious title. On Saturday's The Weekend, the MSNBC show she co-anchors, Menendez actually expressed the hope to be like Biden when she's his age! Although, as you'll see, she cut a decade off Biden's age. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

President Biden blamed the media Friday after he was caught saying on a hot mic the previous evening that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu needed a “come to Jesus” talk about the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. “I didn’t say that,” Biden tried to argue when asked about the incident as he left the White House for a campaign trip to Philadelphia. When pressed, Biden groused, “You guys eavesdropped on me.” The president, 81, made the awkward comment about the Jewish state’s head of government while mingling with lawmakers following his State of the Union address — asking Sen....

With fewer than nine months to go until Election Day and Joe Biden continuing to slide in the polls, Biden’s upcoming State of the Union Address on March 7 presents perhaps one of the last major opportunities he will have to reset his flailing re-election campaign.Here are five things to expect when Biden goes before Congress for what could be his final time as president.Biden Will Blame Republicans For The Border Crisis If Biden’s last two State of the Union addresses are any guide, Americans can expect to hear plenty of blame-shifting when Biden takes the podium next week.With the...

WASHINGTON — In his State of the Union speech this week, President Joe Biden will pose a question that he hopes will answer itself: Whose side are you on? Are Americans, as he’ll frame it, on the side of lower health care costs, democratic freedoms and Ukraine’s fight to keep itself from being swallowed up by Russia? Or on the side of drug company profits, tax breaks for the wealthy and Russia’s autocratic leader Vladimir Putin? Baked into the argument that Biden will lay out Thursday night is that he’s on the right side of all these issues and that...

President Joe Biden babbled about his belief that Israel would reach a ceasefire agreement with Palestinian terrorist group Hamas by next Monday, as he prepared to take a bite of his ice cream. “My National Security Advisor tells me that we’re close. We’re close. It’s not done yet. And my hope is by next Monday, we’ll have a ceasefire,” said President Biden. Biden delivered his remarks as he stood with a blank expression, about to take a bite of his ice cream. Statements from Hamas and Israeli leadership suggest that a ceasefire is further away than Biden indicated between licks...

Fox News host Jesse Watters criticized President Joe Biden and his affinity for ice cream on Tuesday after the president was seen in a New York ice cream parlor the day before. Ahead of Monday’s airing of Late Night with Seth Meyers, on which Biden was a guest, the president patronized a shop with Meyers and told reporters he hopes there will be a ceasefire in Gaza “by next Monday” as Israel continues its invasion and bombing campaign in the territory after the Oct. 7 attacks. The right has fixated on Biden’s famous hankering for ice cream, with some suggesting...
