Wendy Williams’ son, Kevin Hunter Jr., offered more insight into his mother’s frontotemporal dementia diagnosis in ​an interview from the Lifetime documentary Where Is Wendy Williams? “[Doctors] basically said that because she was drinking so much, it was starting to affect her headspace and her brain,” Kevin, 23, explained during the Sunday, February 25, episode of the two-part series. “So, I think they said it was alcohol-induced dementia.” Alcohol-related dementia, according to Healthline, is a “type of cognitive impairment that occurs as a result of heavy alcohol consumption over a long period.” Over time, alcohol use can cause brain damage...

Joe Biden attended a black-tie event at the White House, for governors who were in town for the National Governors Association Winter Meeting. But his confusion seems to be increasing. Even when he has a teleprompter, the speeches are becoming more rambling and disconnected. He spoke to the governors about working together to get things done and he referenced a quote from "the man behind me here." He claimed politics has gotten "too bitter." He made an attempt to quote Abraham Lincoln's "better angels of our nature" remark. It did not go well, and I wonder if he even forgot...

Orf vs. the Memory Hole: Biden Repeatedly Confuses Ukraine, Russia, and Iraq It's not that the president confuses war zones, it's why he does it, and what the confusion suggests Not long ago, in the wake of the release of special counsel Robert Hur’s devastating report describing our president as an “elderly man with a poor memory,” an angry Joe Biden went on TV in an effort to show fitness and forgot a series of things, among them calling Abdel Fattah El-Sisi the president of Mexico. The forgetting in itself was painful, but it happens. Donald Trump and other politicians...

Here are five straight minutes that show exactly why the special counsel noted Biden's diminished mental fitness

President Joe Biden’s overall health and age have become such a problem that the U.S. Secret Service have be forced to step in. An agent has now been assigned to monitor Biden’s cling onto Air Force One to ensure he doesn’t fall , The New York Times reported. Biden, 81, is the oldest president ever to serve. The president’s declining mental acuity has become more evident as concerns about his age mount. Last September, Biden almost tumbled down the stairs of Air Force One as he arrived in Michigan. There have also been multiple instances of him falling publicly during...

Sen. Amy Klobuchar rejected the characterization from special counsel Robert Hur that President Biden is an "elderly man with a poor memory," saying she recently spent "over an hour" talking to him and he was fine. "I was with the president for over an hour and talked about so many things, domestic, international. He was focused. His recall was good," Klobuchar told NBC's "Meet The Press." KRISTEN WELKER: Well, let me ask you this. The report described President Biden as a quote, "Elderly man with a poor memory." Do you think the White House should allow the release of the...

President Biden lashed out at critics who questioned his cognitive ability Thursday, telling reporters at the White House that he can't remember a single time when his memory failed him. "Don't you think I would know if I were having memory problems?" the president asked. "I'm as sharp as a tack, Jack. I've got no cognitive issues whatsoever. My memory is as perfect as it was back in 2024 when I was president." "Also, don't you think I'd know if I were having memory problems? People with memory problems mix up names, dates, and places," he noted. "They wander around...

The other shoe. How many times have I said it here? democrats are good at several things- lying, cheating, derision, ridicule and haste. What they are not good at is honesty or regret. And once again, the other show drops and kicks them in the butt. Now they may find themselves witnesses in a Biden impeachment. When Special Counsel Robert's Hur's report was released he was the subject of unrelenting invective from democrats. Special counsel overstepped mandate with ‘gratuitous’ Biden slams, say ex-DOJ DemsDemocrats slam ‘cheap trash’ about Biden’s memory as Republicans say he’s a ‘security risk’Jean-Pierre slams Hur, says...

Infection with the virus that’s the main cause of cold sores may double a person’s risk of developing dementia, according to a new study. Adding to growing evidence of a link between the two, further research is needed to investigate whether anti-herpes treatment reduces the risk and may open the door to developing new vaccines. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a common, lifelong infection that’s treatable but not curable. It’s estimated that, globally, around 67% of people under 50 have herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection, the main cause of oral herpes or cold sores, and around 13% have...

President Joe Biden (D) claimed on Thursday that there had been more mass shootings in 2024 “than days in the year.” Biden posted his claim on X: We’ve now had more mass shootings in 2024 than there have been days in the year. It’s unacceptable. We must end this senseless epidemic of gun violence tearing us at the seams. — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) February 15, 2024 He offered no substantiation of his claim, no reference to where he found evidence of “more mass shootings … than there have been days in the year.” Biden made a similar assertion on May...

President Joe Biden took to the microphone for an unannounced address on Thursday night, following the release of the politically devastating Special Counsel report that said he "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen." While the report stated that such actions "present serious risks to national security,” Biden will not face charges because he presents himself as an “elderly man with a poor memory” and it would be difficult to convince a jury he is guilty of a serious felony because to commit such a crime “requires a mental state of...

A confused-looking President Biden paced back and forth behind King Abdullah II of Jordan Monday, apparently unsure of where to stand ahead of the royal’s remarks. “Your majesty, over to you,” Biden, 81, told the king after welcoming him to the White House. As Abdullah prepared to deliver his speech, the president shuffled around behind him and the podium, gazing down at the floor as if looking for a mark indicating the proper place for him to stand. Biden waffled between two different spots before settling on what was initially his first choice, to Abdullah’s left side and in front...

Coments after the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl, Joe Biden’s account mocked conspiracy theorists by tweeting a “Dark Brandon” meme—the one where the doddering president features laser eyes—with the words, “Just like we drew it up” underneath. Sure, it’s cringy and dumb, but a cartoon might be the only way to make the president appear operational. After Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report concluded Biden was too feeble-minded to stand trial for his alleged decades-long mishandling of classified information, the White House immediately tried to create the impression that the president, whose mental acuity was never anything to write...

When Republicans are in office, everybody in the MSM is a neuroscientist, psychologist, and oracle capable of and required to opine on the mental fitness of the president and to predict exactly the disastrous consequences of their decisions. When a Democrat is in office, no matter how obvious a Democrat's corruption or disability, it takes a (Left-leaning) "expert" to tell you that what you see before your eyes is false. In that spirit, Americans are being gaslit once again on Joe Biden's obvious lawbreaking, double-dealing, influence peddling, and most importantly his manifest inability to perform his duties as president. That...

Kamala Harris insists she’s ‘ready to serve,’ touts her ‘capacity to lead’ Vice President Kamala Harris claimed she is “ready to serve’’ and touted her “capacity to lead” when asked last week about boss President Biden’s advanced age and voters’ concerns over it. “I am ready to serve — there’s no question about that,” Harris told the Wall Street Journal. She insisted that everyone who observes her performance in office “walks away fully aware of my capacity to lead.” Harris spoke during an interview aboard Air Force Two — two days before special counsel Robert Hur’s scathing report touching on...

Paul Sperry @paulsperry_ DEVELOPING: Unexplained three (3)-day gap in President Biden's schedule, Feb. 12-16. Nothing scheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday ... From wdel.com 2:39 PM · Feb 12, 2024

Joe Biden has nothing on his schedule for next 4 days.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended President Joe Biden to reporters, who asked if there is a “different sort of level of vigor that is perhaps not as visible” in the 81-year-old president. A reporter asked the White House press secretary if there is, perhaps, a different level of “vigor” displayed by Biden behind the scenes — a level the American people are not seeing. This theme is on everyone’s minds following the damning report from special counsel Robert Hur, who essentially concluded that they will not prosecute Biden in his classified documents case, repeatedly pointing to his deteriorating...

It was a helluva thing that Israeli Defense Forces accomplished in Gaza Sunday night, while people around the world were otherwise distracted by a celebrity-studded football game in Las Vegas. ... IDF and Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service, launched a daring raid into the southern Gaza Strip to rescue two older hostages, men ages 60 and 70, whom Hamas terrorists took 128 days ago. Based on "precise intelligence," according to IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Richard Hecht — originally from Scotland — the operation breached a residential building where the hostages were known to be kept on the second floor....

They say success in politics has much to do with timing. Hitting the right issue in the right way at the right moment can make a campaign. Failing to do so can break it. If that’s true, then the person at the Biden re-elect who hit “send” on a fundraising email Thursday, subject line “Do you remember how you felt?,” while the president was in the middle of an impromptu press conference denying he had problems with mental acuity may want to start looking for another job. If there was ever an example of bad timing, that’s it. How can...
