President Joe Biden slipped and almost fell coming down the small stair case from Air Force One on Tuesday, just after it was revealed he is doing balancing exercises, wearing sneakers and using the shorter stairs in an effort to avoid any stumbles. The president used the lower stairs of Air Force One as he exited the presidential plane in Michigan to meet with striking auto workers. Close to the bottom, his heel slipped but he caught himself before he fell. He also appeared to be wearing hiking boots or work boots of some kind, which would be sturdier for...

President Joe Biden (D) is getting flak for mispronouncing LL Cool J’s name and using a derogatory term when speaking of the rapper at an awards dinner on Saturday in Washington, DC. Biden’s comments came during a speech at the Congressional Black Caucus event where LL Cool J and MC Lyte were given Phoenix Awards, according to the New York Post. “Two of the great artists of our time representing the groundbreaking legacy of hip hop in America, LL Jay Cool J, uhhh…” he stated, video footage of the moment shows.

In a significant ruling late Thursday, Judge James Cain of the Western District of Louisiana sided with American energy advocates, striking down the Biden administration’s eleventh-hour restrictions on a pending offshore oil and gas lease sale. The injunction, favoring the plaintiffs – the State of Louisiana, the American Petroleum Institute (API), and energy giants Chevron and Shell – puts a halt on the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s (BOEM) restrictive measures concerning Lease Sale 261. This crucial sale, encompassing vast expanses in the Gulf of Mexico, was scheduled for the following week. The ruling by Judge Cain reiterates the federal...

President Joe Biden belatedly announced plans to visit the striking United Auto Workers (UAW) union members in Michigan on Tuesday, just one day before former President Donald Trump is set to visit them. “Tuesday, I’ll go to Michigan to join the picket line and stand in solidarity with the men and women of UAW as they fight for a fair share of the value they helped create,” Biden posted online.

On June 30, the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Biden v. Nebraska, the case that challenged the legality of the president’s executive order cancelling federal student-loan payments for millions of borrowers. In their ruling, the Court’s majority held that the president had no authority to declare such a cancellation. The statute that the administration had relied upon, the HEROES Act, could not be stretched, the Court decided, to mean that the president had been empowered to make a sweeping loan-forgiveness decree. Nor does anything in the Constitution give the president such authority. Thus, Biden’s loan-forgiveness plan was struck...

Joe Biden has seemingly wandered off the UN stage without shaking hands with Brazil's Lula at the end of a joint speech. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, 77, looked visibly irritated after the two leaders shared a stage to speak about their initiative to improve workers' rights in each country. But their diplomatic meeting got off to a labored start when Biden, 80, shuffled into a seven-foot Brazilian flag, leaving it teetering as he approached the podium.

Ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo urged New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to sue President Biden to recover the billions of dollars absorbed while grappling with the migrant “fiasco.” “The emperor has no clothes,” Cuomo said of Biden in the latest episode of his “As a Matter of Fact” podcast Cuomo repeatedly said the federal government headed by Biden is responsible for immigration and border enforcement, not New York City or the Empire State. “The states should sue the federal government for the entire fiasco,” he said. He likened Biden and fellow Democrats handling of the migrant crisis to “the army marching off...

According to a recent Wall Street Journal poll, the four prosecutions bedeviling former President Donald Trump are deemed illegitimate by a plurality of the country. Meanwhile, the House of Representatives is heading towards an impeachment inquiry targeting President Joe Biden — which will likely be deemed equally suspect by a separate plurality of the nation. Trump’s and Biden’s legal challenges, symptoms of the country’s broader struggle with extreme partisanship, are mirror images in that each candidate’s supporters embrace the rule of law in one case while railing against its misuse in the other. It all has the feel of a...

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) believes the Democrat Party will “parachute” former First Lady Michelle Obama in to replace President Joe Biden, who will be “jettisoned” out before the 2024 election, arguing that former President Barack Obama is the “puppet master” running the Biden administration. On Monday, Cruz discussed the possibility that Biden will not be the nominee for the Democrat Party in the upcoming election on his podcast, “Verdict with Ted Cruz,” noting that the odds of such a scenario have “risen significantly” given that Democrats are now “nervous.” He stated: They’re looking at polling numbers that show two-thirds of...

Joe Biden has seemingly wandered off the UN stage without shaking hands with Brazil's Lula at the end of a joint speech. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, 77, looked visibly irritated after the two leaders shared a stage to speak about their initiative to improve workers' rights in each country. But their diplomatic meeting got off to a labored start when Biden, 80, shuffled into a seven-foot Brazilian flag, leaving it teetering as he approached the podium. The president made a rambling speech about his 'economic vision to rebuild our economy from the middle out and the bottom up, not...

Agenda 30x30 Agenda 30x30 refers to President Biden’s identified goal "of conserving at least 30 percent of our lands and waters by 2030" (the 30x30 goal) in Section 216 of Executive Order No. 14008, "Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad" (EO 14008) issued on January 27, 2021. WATO and the world are immensely grateful and would like to thank President Biden on this executive order which addressed the climate crisis, created a White House office of environmental justice and committed President Biden’s administration to this ambitious conservation goal. The U.S. is currently conserving around 26 percent of its...

resident Joe Biden pledged that the U.S would remain the 'largest single country donor' of humanitarian assistance and vowed to help 'climate proof' the world in his address to United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday. His calls come as Republicans in Washington and on the campaign trail say they'd trim international aid budgets, as Nikki Haley has, and throw climate cautions to the wind, as Vivek Ramaswamy suggested at the first GOP debate. Biden also talked up the success of PEPFAR - the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief - as its reauthorization is at stake over conservative claims...

Joe Biden was giving a speech before the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. So you know it's time to hold your breath and hope he doesn't say anything too egregious while he's on such a big stage before the world, including so many who don't wish us well. One of the things that he made clear and that he isn't shy about -- he's a full-on globalist. America doesn't come first, making sure we bend over does. If we haven't given all our money to Ukraine yet, hey, let's give billions more to up funding to the World Bank. It...

Buried within spending provisions that passed in 2022 is a little-known program that has come to light and is raising eyebrows. According to reports, journalists who get "harassed" online can seek taxpayer-funded counseling and other services as part of a program that seeks to fight "misinformation." No, I'm not making that up. Your hard-earned tax dollars are going to soothe the souls of aggrieved journalists who get trolled online so they can return to doing the regime's bidding. Advertisement The Biden administration has approved $5.7 million in grant funding to George Washington University to create a program that will provide...

Joe Biden, America’s oldest ever president, said Monday night the focus on his age as he seeks a return to the White House in 2024 is understood before boldly declaring he is running again because Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans wanted to “destroy” U.S. democracy. The octogenarian addressed the issue of his age during an elite fundraiser at a Broadway theatre in New York, declaring his experience helped him deal with crises like Ukraine and coronavirus, AFP reports. Funds raised at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre gala were destined for the Biden Victory Fund.

President Joe Biden delivered remarks on the economy in Maryland today with Democrat Maryland Governor Wes Moore. During his speech, Biden made an odd remark about Moore, stating, “Gov, my problem is your biceps are a little small.” During another portion of Biden’s speech, the President began violently shouting, screaming at the top of his lungs as a vein appeared on his forehead. Biden seemed to lose his cool. He can be quoted as shouting, “Same exact drug, made by the same exact company!” The screaming seemed to come out of nowhere, and drew an audible gasp from the audience....

President Biden said Thursday that so-called MAGA Republicans are failing while making the pitch for his own economic agenda and achievements under the banner of “Bidenomics.” “You hear from our friends on the other side, the MAGA Republicans, what’s wrong with America. Everything’s wrong with America. They keep telling us America’s failing,” the president said in remarks at Prince George’s Community College in Largo, Md. “Well they’re wrong: They’re failing. America’s not failing, America’s winning, and there’s one reason for it: you. At the event, which looked a lot like a campaign speech, the president said that his agenda is...

President Joe Biden’s proposed energy efficiency standards for water heaters, released July 21 by the Energy Department, not only would raise the cost of water heaters for consumers but take certain products off the market. One popular tankless natural gas water heater, made by Rinnai in Griffin, Georgia, would have to be discontinued. The public has until Sept. 26 to file comments. Beginning in 2029, the Energy Department’s proposed regulation would set government standards for all types of water heaters, including gas-fired, oil-fired, electric, and instantaneous tankless water heaters. The proposed rule would raise standards disproportionately for tankless, gas-fired water...

Joe Biden launched his candidacy for president in 2019 with the words “we are in the battle for the soul of this nation.” He was right. SNIP But I don’t think Biden and Vice President Harris should run for reelection. It’s painful to say that, given my admiration for much of what they have accomplished. But if he and Harris campaign together in 2024, I think Biden risks undoing his greatest achievement — which was stopping Trump.
