(The Epoch Times)—President Joe Biden said in a July 24 speech from the Oval Office that he plans to call for Supreme Court reform in his final stretch as America’s commander-in-chief. President Biden made the remarks after explaining his decision not to seek reelection and laying out his plans for his final six months in office. “Over the next six months, I’ll be focused on doing my job as president,” he said, highlighting key goals such as boosting economic growth, lowering inflation, tightening gun control, and safeguarding the planet from what he described as a “climate crisis.” “And I’m going...

Ever since President Biden’s Sunday announcement that he would not seek re-election, clearly because of age, I keep thinking about Donald Trump’s and JD Vance’s contemptuous reactions to one of the most difficult personal decisions a president has ever made, and what it says about their character.“The Democrats pick a candidate, Crooked Joe Biden, he loses the Debate badly, then panics, and makes mistake after mistake, is told he can’t win, and decide they will pick another candidate, probably Harris,” Trump wrote on social media on Monday. He later added: “It’s not over! Tomorrow Crooked Joe Biden’s going to wake...

President Joe Biden hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Thursday, likely marking the last time the two leaders will meet while both are in office, given Biden’s decision not to run again. Biden had denied Netanyahu a White House meeting for nearly a year after the latter won Israel’s elections in November 2022 — an extraordinary snub, motivated by the antipathy Democrats have for Israel’s statesman. They finally met in New York in September 2023, amid talk of a possible Saudi-Israeli peace deal that would have been a major diplomatic accomplishment for Biden. But the...

Biden megadonor John Morgan believes Joe Biden endorsed Kamala Harris as a "**&* you to all who pushed him out.” “Be careful what you wish for,” he added to Harris supporters. The thinking goes that former President Barry Obama wanted an open primary and had his eye on Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) as the nominee. Harris, Obama apparently believes, is too far to the left to defeat Donald Trump. Kelly is a white guy from a crucial swing state without all the extreme baggage CacklyMcNeverBorderCzar carries with her. But. Biden is furious at being forced out of the race, so...

WASHINGTON — Now a caretaker president, Joe Biden has no realistic hope of getting a divided Congress to pass unfinished parts of his agenda. But what he can do in his remaining months in office may be even more important in preserving America's democratic traditions: stop Donald Trump's return to power, the president suggested Wednesday night in his Oval Office address. “Nothing,” Biden said, “nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy. That includes personal ambition. So, I’ve decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation.” Biden has left it to his...

The gunman who tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump appears to have used the controversial alt-right favored social media platform Gab to spread messages “in support of President Biden,” according to the platform’s founder. Gab CEO Andrew Torba said he learned Wednesday that Thomas Matthew Crooks “may have had an account on our platform” after getting “an emergency disclosure request from a law enforcement agency.” The account @epicmicrowave — which the CEO stressed he has been “unable to confirm” was definitely Crooks’ — “posted on the site nine (9) times total,” Torba tweeted just 30 minutes after getting the...

In 2020, covert actors manipulated the Democratic primary to ensure Joe Biden's nomination and later controlled his presidential agenda, ultimately forcing him to step down in favor of Kamala Harris. In March 2020, all the major Democratic primary candidates abruptly, mysteriously, and in near unison withdrew from the presidential race, ceding the nomination to Joe Biden. Yet Biden had lost the first three races in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada—and only won his first victory in South Carolina. Suddenly, on the eve of the Super Tuesday mega-primaries, the candidacies of front-runner Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren, and others simply...

There was 6 January 2021, and a violent coup attempt by a president desperately trying to cling to power. Then there was 24 July 2024, and a president explaining why he was giving up the most powerful job in the world. Joe Biden’s address on Wednesday night was a moving piece of political theatre, the start of a farewell tour by “a kid with a stutter from modest beginnings” who entered politics in 1972 and made it all the way to the Oval Office. For diehard Democrats it was a case of: if you have tears, prepare to shed them...

Joe Biden held a much-anticipated Address to the Nation on Wednesday night. Biden was expected to officially drop out of the 2024 presidential race. Only 6,603 people tuned in to watch Old Joe on the White House YouTube Channel. Americans just aren’t interested in listening to this old corrupt, serial liar who has destroyed the lives of millions of Americans.

In my message from last week, titled “So Predictable,” I predicted that although Joe Biden repeatedly vowed, he would never drop out of the presidential race, that he definitely would, eventually. And almost immediately after my message was published or broadcast by all the media outlets that carry it, he did. I knew it was coming, but I didn’t expect it to happen as quickly as it did. And in my last message I predicted he would say his dropping out was “for the good of the party,” “to make sure that Trump would never again sit in the Oval...

President Joe Biden tapped Kamala Harris to tackle the daunting issue of immigration in March 2021, but the vice president’s public-facing work on addressing the root causes of migration largely evaporated within months, according to an NBC News analysis of public documents, U.S. aid disbursements and Harris’ travel schedule. The Border Patrol union says Harris did not deliver on any of her immigration-related assignments. When Harris’ name is mentioned at the border, “it’s a lot of eye rolls,” said Jon Anfinsen, national executive vice president of the National Border Patrol Council, the Border Patrol union. “I would ask what has...

It's a 'very emotional time for him and he isn't showing it,' said one doctor, also perceiving a 'lack of conviction' After President Joe Biden’s address to the nation Wednesday night, multiple doctors shared their opinions with Fox News Digital about his perceived health status based on his live speech. ... Dr. Marc Siegel, clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center and a Fox News medical contributor — who has never treated the president — noted that Biden seemed to be reading from a teleprompter on Wednesday night, as he often does, making it difficult for those watching...

Sky News host Paul Murray says US President Joe Biden’s Oval Office speech was “frightening to watch”. The 81-year-old ended his re-election campaign on Sunday after facing relentless pressure over his capabilities to lead amid concern around his cognitive state. “What you saw was the battle between the ego of the man, the desperation of the people around him, the lie that we have been told increasingly as his health has deteriorated,” Mr Murray said. “This was frightening.”

President Donald Trump slammed President Biden’s White House speech Wednesday, calling it “barely understandable.” “Crooked Joe Biden’s Oval Office speech was barely understandable, and sooo bad!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “CROOKED JOE BIDEN AND LYIN’ KAMALA HARRIS ARE A GREAT EMBARRASSMENT TO AMERICA — THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A TIME LIKE THIS!”

He's got big issues. A very deep bruise on his lower left jaw (screen right) which changes his speech pattern, creating even more slurring. He has a bruise over his left eye, directly on the socket where the eyelid folds. And he has lower tooth pain, likely also taking numbing meds, that's why he looks like he just had a root canal. Something happened.

Joe Biden refused to resign on Wednesday, but finally explained his decision to begrudgingly "pass the torch" after losing a bitter power struggle with Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats who forced him to end his bid for reelection. Speaking from the Oval Office, surrounded by family and loved ones, Biden praised his accomplishments, as well as his selfless decision to withdraw from the race and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. Even though he clearly didn't want to, Biden congratulated himself for having the courage to "unite my party" and "defend democracy" by stepping aside. "I believe my record as...

Joe Biden is no longer the Democratic presidential nominee. After weeks of heartburn from the Democratic political establishment—and the unique spectacle of the media finally holding the Democrats accountable for their dishonesty—Biden announced Sunday that he would be dropping out of the presidential race. That announcement followed his disastrous June 27 debate performance against former President Donald Trump, a performance that demonstrated to a flabbergasted America that the president of the United States is fully addled. Biden tried to deny it for weeks. Some played along; most did not. Eventually, Biden’s abysmal poll numbers, combined with strong-arm tactics from political...

President Biden addresses the nation at 8 p.m. Eastern to either explain why he withdrew from re-election on Sunday, maybe he is now resigning today, or will try and explain why he is still competent to remain as president. White House: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93T8biDlaBc

President Biden’s decision to step aside as the expected Democratic nominee in November has “nothing to do with his health,” his top spokesperson said Wednesday ahead of his prime-time address to the nation. “It has nothing to do with his health. The president is going to speak to this directly to the American people in prime time,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters during a briefing. “In his letter he talked about the country, he talked about the party, he talked about the moment we’re in right now,” she continued. “It is not about his health. I can say no,...
