Yes, it applies in this case -- although its usually 48 hours. First note: The White House lied straight up about the speech being delivered "live"; it was clearly not. How do we know this with absolute certainty? Biden had a watch on and it is visible in some of the shot -- and was not at the time of the speech. You'd think the production crew would have enough marbles rolling around to catch this but... nope. It thus was quite-clearly taped and therefore the obvious question is "how many takes were done and was it continuous?" One lie...

Former President Donald Trump spoke with the 'Fox & Friends' co-hosts about President Biden's Oval Office address and his plan to take on VP Kamala Harris

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 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...

Joe Biden gave a confused address at the White House on Wednesday evening that was supposed to address why he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race. Instead, he had so little respect for the American people he didn't even lay out the specific reason, saying only that he dropped out to unite the party and "save democracy." So basically he was admitting this was an effort to increase their chances in the election. It was a cynical attack on democracy, throwing the votes of millions of Americans under the bus. He tried to convince us he was "saving democracy"...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...
