An old adage goes like this. “Better is the silent man who may prove himself foolish, than the one who opens his mouth and removes all doubt.”No one can ever say they’ve ever had any doubts about the current President of the United States.He is patently dishonest. But people explain that away as just being the old uncle at the family gathering who can’t help but exaggerate the good ole’ days.He frequently relays abjectly false information. But supporters just blame his age, obvious stage of being diminished, or point to his past when a far more moderate man served in...

Israel's air strikes on the militant Hamas movement in Gaza have forced the Middle East on to Joe Biden's agenda amid new questions about how his emphasis on human rights applies to Palestinians. It has also laid bare the extent to which the Israeli right has been empowered in occupied East Jerusalem during the presidency of Donald Trump. Unrest there sparked wider battles, and could draw the Biden administration more deeply into the longstanding Israeli-Palestinian conflict even after this latest seismic eruption abates. That's a prospect President Biden and his senior advisers would like to avoid. They've made clear their...

In a break with recent tradition, President Joe Biden will not be delivering the commencement address at the University of Notre Dame this year - although he was invited by the university to do so. On Tuesday, the university announced that its May 23 commencement speaker will be Jimmy Dunne, a finance executive and trustee of the university. During the last three presidential administrations, U.S. presidents or vice presidents have addressed the university's commencement in their first year in office, but that trend will not continue in 2021. Although a university spokesman told CNA that, as a policy, “we do...

It is 'critical for Israel' not to 'exacerbate tensions or take us further away from peace,' said spokeswoman Jalina Porter The State Department walked back comments from controversy-prone deputy spokeswoman Jalina Porter, who last week singled out Israel for criticism and blamed the Jewish State for inflaming tensions with the Palestinians. The State Department distanced itself Friday from Porter's remarks, noting that "we have consistently called on both Israel and the Palestinians to avoid unilateral steps that exacerbate tensions and make it more difficult to preserve the viability of a two-state solution." The dust-up comes after Porter was asked at...

Another day, another Biden gaffe. Joe Biden traveled to Virginia on Monday with his nurse Jill in tow.

President Biden on Friday awkwardly hailed Masters golf champion Hideki Matsuyama as a “Japanese boy” during a press conference in the Rose Garden with Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga. Matsuyama, 29, won the Masters Tournament on Sunday at Georgia’s Augusta National Golf Club. “Yoshi, I know how proud you are — the people of Japan are — and you’ve got a Japanese boy coming over here and guess what? He won the Masters. He won the Masters. He won the green jacket,” Biden said in the Rose Garden. “And Matsuyama was the first Japanese player to take home that green...

Joe Biden met with the Congressional Black Caucus in the Oval Office on Tuesday to discuss his infrastructure package and how he will allocate money to black communities. After mumbling for 3 minutes and struggling to read from his notecard, Biden had enough and told the reporters to leave.

President Biden on Tuesday insisted that the feds have enough COVID-19 vaccine supply to blanket the country — after officials put a “pause” on Johnson & Johnson’s one-dose shot. “My message to the American people on the vaccine is, I told y’all. I made sure we have 600 million doses of [Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccines] … not of either Johnson & Johnson and/or AstraZeneca,” the commander in-chief said to reporters at the White House. “So there is enough vaccine, that is basically 100 percent unquestionable for every single solitary American.” Biden’s comments came hours after the FDA and CDC issued...

Senior officials in the Trump and Biden administrations knew for months that there were issues with the Baltimore plant that botched 15 million doses of Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine (in February), Politico reported.Citing two people with direct knowledge of the issue and an internal report, Politico reported that a document detailing issues with the Emergent BioSolutions plant was sent to Trump officials working on vaccines in June 2020.The report, produced by a government official, warned that the Emergent BioSolutions plant did not have enough staff who could properly oversee vaccine production, and that it had issues with hiring and...

A series of embarrassing incidents in recent days shows that while the left may control the media narrative, it’s not fooling Xi Jinping or Vladimir Putin into thinking President Joe Biden is strong.Biden had a beyond-friendly interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, former press secretary to President Bill Clinton, on March 16 in which he allowed Stephanopoulos to lure him into calling Russian President Vladimir Putin a “killer” with “no soul.” It would be one thing if there were some purpose behind Biden’s hostile utterance about his Russian counterpart, but it didn’t appear tied to any strategic foreign policy goal.Other than...

Like the geriatric lady in the old TV commercial, Dementia Joe Biden has fallen and he can’t get up. Of course, in that instantly viral video Friday, after the three tumbles going up (not down) the stairs, “President” did finally manage, unlike the old lady, to limp unsteadily onto Air Force One. But perhaps even more disturbing than the falls or his doddering, unsteady walk from Marine One to the Boeing 747 was what happened when he reached those treacherous boarding stairs on the tarmac. From the back, you could see him look down, apparently in either confusion or trepidation,...

As the video of Joe Biden slipping, tumbling, and falling on the stairs walking up to Air Force One spread on social media, I quickly noticed a number of comments in my feed from people on the left scoffing at the attention it was getting and writing it off as a trivial event we should be forgetting about and moving on from. The White House quickly started making excuses for Biden’s fall, saying that it was because of strong winds. It’s obvious from the video wind was the not issue. Yet, the left wants to convince us this story is...

[See UPDATE, below.] Almost two months into the Biden administration, it's an open secret that Joe Biden won't take spontaneous questions from the press. That's why it was peculiar on Wednesday for a clip suddenly to appear purportedly showing Joe answering questions from random reporters somewhere in America. What was even more peculiar was that Joe's hands magically passed through the microphones. In other words, the weird hand illusion (combined with other oddities) in the video suggests that the White House is disseminating fake videos to make it look as if Joe is talking spontaneously to the media. At first...

On March 16, President Joe Biden was walking to an awaiting helicopter on the White House grounds when he stopped briefly to talk to a group of reporters, some holding boom mics. "Do you have any plans to travel to the southern border?" a reporter asked. "Not at the moment," Biden said. He answers another question about COVID-19 vaccines and then walks on. The moment is unremarkable, unless you’ve been misled to believe the whole thing is a fraud — that the interview was fake and the president was acting in front of a green screen. A YouTube video that...

Since January 20th, we’ve known the Biden “presidency” has been completely faked, but we haven’t had smoking gun proof of the fakery… until now. A video, posted by Bloomberg’s Quicktake video channel and covered by InfoWars, appears to show Joe Biden walking toward a group of reporters and telling them he has no plans to visit the border. But the video reveals an obvious video layer compositing error when the hands of the virtual Joe Biden appear in front of microphones which are supposed to be in the foreground of the frame.

Before President Biden departed the White House for a visit to Chester, Pennsylvania, he took questions from reporters on a possible visit to the southern border and to which countries the U.S. might give COVID-19 vaccines.

Joe Biden thinks you’re an absolute moron. That’s my takeaway from viewing the couple of clips released from the president’s upcoming interview with George Stephanopoulos. It’s being billed as Biden’s first big interview since taking office, and for once, he appears to have conducted it without Jill Biden there to interject and feed him answers. No doubt, ABC News will heavily edit it to make sure things appear fine, but no amount of editing can hide the idiocy you are about to witness.EXCLUSIVE: @GStephanopoulos presses Pres. Biden on the border crisis."Do you have to say quite clearly, 'Don't come'?Biden: "Yes,...

There is something odd about this video. Biden comes out of the White House alone. He walks up to the media but they are kept out of frame. At exactly the 1 min mark, look at the furry microphone on the left very carefully. You can see Bidens' hand is superimposed over the microphone. As he walks away, there's a quick cut keeping the media out of frame. Biden hits the road to push COVID relief package

Reporter: "Do you have any plans to travel to the southern border?" President Biden: "Not at the moment."
