"Joe the Closer?" Oversight Chairman James Comer told Just the News on Friday that President Joe Biden played a specific role in his son’s business dealings. Witness testimony from the ongoing impeachment inquiry has indicated there is a key role in Biden family business dealings that Joe Biden played: showing that his son had access to him to close deals with characters from unfriendly countries. The latest in a string of interview transcripts released by the House Oversight Committee, bolsters this claim from Republicans. Jason Galanis—a former business partner of Hunter Biden—testified to Joe Biden’s special role in their deals,...

President Biden, yet again, has tripped twice while boarding Air Force One — despite using a shorter, less challenging staircase. The 81-year-old commander-in-chief managed to narrowly avoid a complete double tumble as he prepared to set off for Los Angeles on Tuesday. Footage of the near-miss showed Biden saluting US military personnel at the bottom of the staircase before starting his climb at Andrews Air Force Base, Md. About halfway up, the president could be seen tripping slightly on a step. Biden quickly gripped the railing to steady himself but immediately tripped on the following step, too. Social media were...

President Joe Biden likened former President Donald Trump to Nazi Germany during a speech on Friday. Biden’s dark rhetoric is a recent escalation after establishment media outlets questioned whether he would put greater emphasis on bashing his 2024 political rival. Speaking at Valley Forge to commemorate the January 6 protest, Biden equated Trump to one of the worst historical regimes.

President Biden needed stage directions from a military member during the solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during Veterans Day observances at Arlington National Cemetery Saturday. Biden required assistance from a member of the tomb’s honor guard to place the large floral arrangement on a stand set on the plaza in front of the memorial honoring America’s missing and unidentified war dead. He stepped back from the wreath and hesitated for a moment before making the sign of the cross on himself. He backed away, turned, and took several steps away from the wreath — and...

Even White House staffers admit that President Biden’s advanced age is affecting his workload. Days after the 80-year-old formally announced he would run for re-election in 2024, Axios reported Friday that aides say it’s tough to schedule “public or private events” with Biden at certain times of day — namely weekends, mornings, and evenings. In fact, the report adds, most of Biden’s public events happen between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. That works out to a 30-hour workweek — even less than the official 35-hour workweek in France. So far this year, Biden has held just four events before 10...

Former US President Donald Trump lashed out at President Joe Biden at a campaign rally in New Hampshire, branding him "Crooked Joe Biden" and saying he poses a "threat to democracy", Fox News reported. "Joe Biden officially announced that he will seek four more disastrous years in the White House," Trump told the crowd of nearly 2,000 people in Manchester, New Hampshire, before vowing to "rescue America" from another four years of "disastrous" Democratic policies. "I will be retiring the name ‘Crooked’ from Hillary Clinton," Trump said. "And I’m going to give her a new name — I don’t know,...

President Joe Biden blamed Republicans in Congress for the mass shooting in Louisville, Kentucky, on Monday. A gunman fatally shot at least four victims and injured at least six others, including a police officer, at Old National Bank. Biden began his statement by expressing gratitude to the Louisville Metropolitan Police Department officers “who quickly and courageously stepped into the line of fire to save others.” In his second paragraph, Biden blamed the mass shooting on Republican lawmakers not acting on gun reform. “How many more Americans must die before Republicans in Congress will act to protect our communities? It’s long...

We all knew this would be a train wreck. White House Steward Joe Biden has left Saudi Arabia humiliated. In 2020, Biden declared that the kingdom was a "pariah" after the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. I couldn't care less. The man walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to collect certain documents regarding his pending marriage. He probably knew the risks. The nasty part about this story isn't the sordid tales of torture and dismemberment that reportedly happened to Khashoggi. It's the reaction. Everyone acted as if Walter Cronkite was the person butchered. The outrage was more...

Joe Biden has shipped five million barrels from the United States' Strategic Oil Reserve abroad, after claiming that releasing them would help ease Americans' pain at the pumps. The president faces accusations of a sneaky sleight of hand as it was revealed that between a fifth and a sixth of the reserve oil he bragged about releasing to boost supply made its way offshore to Europe and Asia in June. Biden authorized the release of a million barrels a day from April onwards. But his action has done little to combat soaring gas prices, with the national average sitting at...

Joe Biden is at the G7 Summit. Soundbites of the world leaders mocking Russia were picked up. With the Supreme Court news about Roe v. Wade being overturned and gun rights expanded, the Left is in meltdown mode. So, this devastating update probably got lost in the ether. Biden’s energy plan is toast. It got blown up. It shows Biden being outmaneuvered by our allies. The way it was done also shows that Europe knows this presidency needs to be pushed along—a lot. It was the clearest sign of the weakness exhibited by Biden. The gross incompetence is pervasive. Within...

When the United States said last year it would host the 2022 Summit of the Americas, officials had high hopes the event would help repair Trump-era damage to relations and reassert U.S. primacy over China's growing clout in Latin America. But on the cusp of the coming week's gathering in Los Angeles, U.S. President Joe Biden faces a struggle to make a success of a summit plagued by problems before it even began. Ideological discord over who to invite, skepticism about U.S. commitment to Latin America, and low expectations for major accords on issues such as migration and economic cooperation...

President Biden’s Secret Service detail rushed him to a safe house in Rehoboth Beach, Del., Saturday when a private plane violated the airspace above the vacation home he owns in the small seaside town. Local resident Susan Lillard spotted a small white aircraft flying over Biden’s neighborhood around 12:45 p.m. — a violation of the FAA airspace restrictions that are always called when the president is away from the White House. Minutes later, Lillard told CBS News, she saw two military-style jets scramble over the town.

U.S. President Joe Biden said on Monday he would be willing to use force to defend Taiwan, in a series of critical comments about China he made in Tokyo that an aide said represented no change in U.S. policy on the self-ruled island. Biden’s comment, made during his first visit to Japan since taking office, and as Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida looked on, appeared to be a departure from existing U.S. policy of so-called strategic ambiguity on Taiwan. China considers the democratic island its territory, part of “one China”, and says it is the most sensitive and important issue...
