President Biden delivered remarks at the White House on the Special Counsel’s report on classified documents. He highlighted the differences between the investigations into him and former President Trump, then took questions. He addressed the report’s labeling of him as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” saying, “I am well-meaning, and I’m an elderly man, and I know what the hell I’m doing.”

In a previously unscheduled address to the nation from the White House on Thursday evening, an angry President Joe Biden sought to respond to the bombshell report from Special Counsel Robert Hur and insisted "my memory is fine" while attacking Hur for some items included in the report. "How in the hell dare he raise that," an angry Biden said of the portion of Hur's report that stated Biden "did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died." That matter, the president said, is "none of their damn business." VIDEO "For any extraneous commentary, they don't know...

On Thursday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” CNN Political Commentator Paul Begala reacted to remarks about President Joe Biden’s memory in the special counsel report on his handling of classified documents by stating that “People who have been under oath are really, really careful. And so, sometimes they say, I can’t remember if they’re not absolutely precise. And the notion that he’d forgotten that his son died? No. He was probably just under a lot of stress. It was the worst day of his life.” But also said that Biden “was the same way 30 years ago. The gaps are...

Researchers called for a ‘global moratorium’ as the study revealed ‘well-documented’ serious adverse events and an unacceptable harm-to-reward ratio... With considerably lower efficacy rates, mRNA COVID-19 vaccines cause more deaths than save lives, according to a new study whose researchers called for a “global moratorium” on the shots and “immediate removal” from childhood immunization schedule. The peer-reviewed study, published in the Cureus journal on Jan. 24, analyzed reports from the initial phase 3 trials of Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. These trials led to the shots being approved under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) in the United States. The study...

[Catholic Caucus] Francis is Gaslighting the World Into Thinking Christianity is a Hate CrimeIt is fiendish gaslighting for Francis and Tucho to tell us that Fiducia Supplicans constitutes an “innovative broadening" of the Church’s teachings about blessings and then insist that only hypocrites and haters see it as an “innovative broadening” of what the Church has always taught. In his interview published by the Italian magazine Credere on February 8, 2024, Francis scolded those who question Fiducia Supplicans, the December document authorizing the blessing of same-sex unions:“‘The gravest sins,’ the Pope adds, ‘are those that disguise themselves with a more...

Special Counsel Robert Hur might not be recommending criminal charges for Joe Biden as we reported earlier, but the report is devastating all the same. We also reported earlier in the week how the Biden team was worried about the reaction to what would come out, and now I see why. They should be worried. The report not only eviscerates Biden, but it blows open the double standard yet again compared to how they're treating him versus how they're treating former President Donald Trump. First, it should be noted that Hur found that Biden willfully retained and even disclosed classified...

This reminds me of “The Human Farm” episode of Parks and Recreation. A new report from the US Department of Agriculture forecasts that US farmers are poised for another year of financial misery, facing the most significant decline in incomes in almost two decades as crop prices slide and US dominance in ag exports wanes. USDA forecasts net farm income, a broad measure of profits, to plunge $39.8 billion, or 25.5%, to $116.1 billion in 2024. This follows a forecasted decrease of $29.7 billion, or 16%, from 2022 to $155.9 billion in 2023. If the estimate holds, farmers face the...

A Ukrainian “coup” in 2015 that ousted the country’s pro-Moscow president put Russian and Ukraine on the path to war, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a much-touted interview with conservative pundit Tucker Carlson released Thursday. The Russian president in the two-hour interview also said peace talks with Ukraine early in the conflict had been “almost finalized” in 2022 before the U.S. and its European allies blocked further progress. ... Peace negotiations were “almost finalized after we withdrew our troops from Kyiv, but then the other side threw away all the agreement and obeyed the instructions of European countries and...

NEW: President Biden will speak from the White House at 7:45 pm

A new type of illicit synthetic street drug known as “Pink Cocaine” and “Pink Panther” was found in a San Jose business where investigators suspect it was being manufactured. Luis Carrillo-Moyeda, 32, of San Jose, was arrested last month on drug charges after San Jose Police Department officers served search warrants at his home and business on Blossom Hill Road. SJPD wrote, “The illegal narcotics being manufactured and sold by suspect Carrillo-Moyeda, commonly known as ‘Tusi,’ ‘Pink Cocaine,’ ‘Pantera Rosa,’ or ‘Pink Panther,’ is a new synthetic drug made from a mixture of ketamine, MDMA, methamphetamine, cocaine, and opioids.” Detectives...

It's the best joke from a film almost springloaded with them, but what is the origin of Airplane!'s famous "Don't call me Shirley" gag? Airplane! was written and directed by Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker, with the comedy being heavily inspired by the 1957 b-movie Zero Hour!, which featured Sterling Hayden (The Godfather). The plot of Zero Hour! featured a World War 2 pilot forced to land an airplane after the pilots become ill with food poisoning.Zero Hour!'s combination of unintentionally hilarious dialogue and taking the silly events of the plot deathly serious made an impression on Zucker,...

In a continuation of blunders, yesterday it was reported that Biden once again sees dead people. White House corresponded Jacqui Heinrich posted to X that Biden claimed former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl was with him on his first foreign trip as US President and that the two discussed Jan 6. Not only did this not happen, it couldn’t have happened. Kohl died in 2017. Jan 6 was, of course, four years later. Heinrich posted notes from the “second event” that read (exactly as written):

The slayings of six men last week at a remote desert crossroads that authorities believe stemmed from a soured illegal cannabis deal spotlighted a longstanding problem in California: a thriving underground marijuana market despite years of legal sales that were expected to stamp it out. The killings provided a tragic reminder of the violence that can come with illicit cannabis activity, including unlicensed growing operations, brash robberies from legal businesses and furtive illegal shipments to out-of-state vendors. “The violence is getting worse. The stakes are getting higher,” said dispensary owner Jerred Kiloh, who also heads the United Cannabis Business Association,...
