Biden says he’s ‘first black woman to serve with a black president’in latest gaffe
Story by Emily Crane

President Biden described himself as the “first black woman to serve with a black president” as he yet again twisted his words, his latest gaffe as he scrambles to reassure voters he’s still fit to lead.
The 81-year-old president made the slip up as he struggled to find the right phrasing while being interviewed Thursday on Philadelphia’s WURD black radio station as part of an Independence Day media blitz a week on from his train-wreck debate performance.
Biden appeared to trip up as he described having served as former President Barack Obama’s vice president and then choosing Kamala Harris as his own.
“By the way, I’m proud to be, as I said, the first vice president, first black woman, to serve with a black president,” he told host Andrea Lawful-Sanders.
The stumble, though, was just one of several slip-ups and mistakes Biden made during the interview — which was aimed at reassuring voters that his debate debacle was just a lone bad night.
At one point, he made the bizarre claim that he was the “first president that got elected statewide in the state of Delaware, when I was a kid.”
He also claimed he understood the black struggle for representation — because he didn’t think Catholics could be president before John F. Kennedy was elected more than six decades ago.
Biden made the reference as he was telling the host he knew what Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court meant to “a young girl who is in school and having trouble.”
“I looked at John Kennedy and said, ‘Well, he — John — he got elected. Why can’t I get elected?’” Biden said. “People need things to look up to.”
The slew of lapses comes as concerns continue to mount over the president’s age — especially in the wake of his disastrous debate face-off against former President Trump last week.
Still, Ammar Moussa, a spokesperson for Biden’s re-election campaign, quickly ripped the media for highlighting the president’s most recent stumbles.
Inflation was about 1.4 percent when Biden took over. Donald Trump said that President Biden caused inflation and that the cost of food doubled and tripled and quadrupled. This wasn’t a lie, Food prices in many instances have gone up over two hundred percent. Trump was embellishing inflation for shock value. This is not an outright lie as Biden would have you tell it.
Donald Trump said that President Biden has allowed in 18 million people and that they’re coming from — quote — “prisons, jails and mental institutions.” Almost 12 million have come into the country under the Biden-Mayorkas administration. They call Trump with his pants on fire. But the problem here is that Biden will not come clean. How can you believe their number when everything they tell you is a lie. Regarding those from mental institutions, how the hell do they know how many. Truth is that millions most likely came,
Trump claim on abortion is not validated says the PERVS. They say infanticide is illegal in every state. However, abortions in the eight and ninth month do happen. That can’t be denied.
First of all, Biden has LIED to the public on numerous occasions. For instance, “my son did nothing wrong.” Wrong, that was one Big Lie. Secondly, he hasn’t come clean concerning his health.
The President is a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” WTF, what does a poor memory have to do with recommending prosecution? Biden was a private citizen when he committed the crime. Did he have a poor memory then? Doesn’t matter, he was guilty of Federal Records Fraud.
We are confused, IS THIS ANOTHER LIE?Biden didn’t remember if he watched the debate. Again, WTF is this bag of bones talking about, couldn’t remember what he did five days ago and this guy is President. Imagine him in charge of the button?
Now we find out that a Top Neurologist visited the White House. The Deep State won’t say who he consulted with, but we know who, it was POTUS.
Biden’s physician met with top Parkinson’s disease specialist: White House visitor logs
Story by Peter Cordi, Washington Examiner

President Joe Biden’s physician met with a top Washington, D.C., neurologist who specializes in Parkinson’s disease earlier this year, according to White House visitor logs.
The logs show that Parkinson’s disease expert Dr. Kevin Cannard of the Walter Reed Medical Center met with Biden’s physician Kevin O’Connor and two others at the White House residence clinic on Jan. 17.
“It’s highly likely they were talking about Biden,”Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) told the New York Post, who first reported on the meeting. “He should only be [regularly] treating the president and the first family.”
Jackson served as physician to the president under the Obama and Trump administrations from 2013 to 2018. He has issued a number of warnings about Biden’s declining mental health, and accused O’Connor and first lady Jill Biden of having “led the cover up” to hide the president’s well-being from the public.
Walter Reed Medical Center cardiologist John E. Atwood was also in the meeting, according to the logs.
Cannard published a paper in the Parkinsonism & Related Disorders journal that focuses on the “early stage” of Parkinson’s disease in August 2023, just months before the meeting.
When asked about the visit, the White House pointed to the wide range of personnel and jobs doctors visiting are responsible for.
In Biden’s interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, released on Friday, he declined to commit to taking an independent cognitive test. Biden claimed his “bad” debate performance was “no indication of any serious condition.”
Kudos to George Stephanopoulos for asking very pointed questions. We commend him for this.
Below is the concealment of FDR’s health from the public.
Inside FDR’s Lifelong Health Struggles—And His Sudden Death
Roosevelt endured persistent physical challenges—including paralysis and heart issues—that were largely shielded from the American public.
FDR’s Health Falters
Roosevelt’s health began a steep decline after his nearly 18,000-mile roundtrip to the Tehran Conference in November 1943 to meet British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin on strategy to fight Adolf Hitler. Upon his return, an ailing, exhausted Roosevelt lost weight, and his trembling hands struggled to light cigarettes, sign documents or pour coffee.
The president’s physician, Dr. Ross McIntire, insisted to the press that Roosevelt was in “robust health” and his stamina was “far above average.”But the commander-in-chief’s daughter, Anna, was skeptical. At her behest, McIntire—an ear, nose and throat specialist—arranged for Dr. Howard Bruenn, Bethesda Naval Hospital’s top cardiologist, to examine Roosevelt in late March 1944.
Bruenn delivered a shocking diagnosis: The president was suffering from severe hypertension and congestive heart failure. Roosevelt was prescribed the herbal drug digitalis, placed on a restricted diet, told to restrict his smoking to six Camel cigarettes a day and advised to work only four hours a day—an impossibility for a wartime president.
Dr. Frank Lahey, who consulted on the president’s condition, did not believed that if Mr. Roosevelt were elected President again,he had the physical capacity to complete a fourth term.”
Days after Lahey’s dire assessment, Roosevelt announced he would accept the Democratic nomination for an unprecedented fourth term.He wanted to see the war to its conclusion and realize his plan to establish the United Nations.
A gaunt Roosevelt returned to Warm Springs at the end of March. “The president was the worst-looking man I ever saw who was still alive,”recalled the town’s stationmaster. On the afternoon of April 12, Roosevelt’s blood pressure soared to 300/190. he proclaimed before slumping forward in his wheelchair. Those words were Roosevelt’s last as he died of a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 63. The news shocked a nation that never knew how ill its president had been.
‘If Israel falls, the West falls’: Geert Wilders is Europe’s last stand against Islam – opinion
In December 2010 in Tel Aviv, Wilders said: “Israel is often being mistreated. Israel is not to blame for the hardship of the Palestinians.”
By MEMY PEER
Many in Israel have never heard the name Geert Wilders, the leader of the Dutch right-wing Party for Freedom (PVV) that recently stormed the elections in his country. Anyone who reads this article will remember his name. I will discuss him in detail below.
After the world has turned against us, directly due to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his extremist messianic government, the first sparks of hope for change are beginning to emerge. And if this is indeed the case, it is not due to Netanyahu, who is detached and self-interested in his personal affairs – who continues to start fires remotely to keep the justified media fire away from him, but despite him.
Europe has shifted to the right because of Islam. Since October 7, Israel has also moved right. And looking for a sane state-liberal right, which in my view, is represented by Avigdor Lieberman, leader of Yisrael Beytenu. Other than those justifying the terrorist act, such as Gideon Levy, a journalist, and Ofer Cassif, a member of the Knesset for the Joint List, it is difficult to find even left-wing supporters who continue to empathize with the Palestinian militants.
Europeans are beginning to wake up to the occupation – the occupation of their countries by veils, hijabs, sharia laws, and thousands of mosques, increasing crime, and “Free Palestine” demonstrations, because of the opportunity given to Islamist immigrants to settle in their countries who, instead of assimilating into the local customs, insist on being open Islamists even in the countries hosting them, without generalizing. There are, of course, wonderful Muslims who spearhead ‘live and let live’. It goes without saying that alongside a large number of extremist Muslims involved in organizing activities against the modern Western world, there are, of course, many who prefer a quiet and peaceful life – and some of them even voted for Wilders.
There are governments in Europe that have made it clear that anti-Israel protests are equivalent to demonstrations against the country itself. For example – there are almost no Free Palestine demonstrations in the Czech Republic and Austria, but there are demonstrations in support of Israel.

Back to Geert Wilders – an enthusiastic supporter of Israel and a highly fierce critic of Islam, leader of the Party for Freedom (PVV). In the past, his party promised to close mosques and “ban the Koran.”
In the Dutch elections in Holland approximately seven months ago, on November 22, 2023, Wilders pulled a stunning victory when he won a crushing majority with 23% of the votes, giving him 37 of the 150 seats in Parliament. The two parties after him won far fewer 24 and 25 seats. Wilders, riding the waves of exposing the true face of the Islamic immigrants, encountered difficulties in forming a coalition. After six months of negotiations, he recently managed to establish a right-wing government in which he, although not serving as prime minister, will dictate its policy (the government will be sworn in soon. The new prime minister will be Dick Schoof, former head of the Dutch spy agency).
Dutch parties agree on final formation of rightwing government, Wilders says

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Political parties in the Netherlands have reached a final agreement on the formation of their incoming right-wing government, election winner Geert Wilders said on Tuesday.
After almost six months of negotiations, Wilders’ nationalist PVV party reached an agreement last month to form a coalition with three other conservative parties but they had not agreed on cabinet posts.
“We have reached an agreement,” Wilders told reporters after almost four weeks of talks on the distribution of jobs over the four parties.
The coalition last month already said political outsider Dick Schoof, who is not affiliated to any party, would become prime minister of the new government.
Schoof, 67, was the senior official at the Dutch justice ministry until last month after having led the Dutch intelligence agency AIVD and anti-terrorism agency NCTV for years. He was the head of the Dutch immigration service in the early 2000s.
He will head a cabinet that the four parties have said would have looser ties to parliament. No details on who would fill the other posts in cabinet have been announced yet.

Biden told a crowd at a North Carolina rally the day after the debate that he doesn’t “debate as well as I used to” — but insisted that he can still “do this job.”
President Biden did not calm his critics on Friday night following his interview with ABC News, fueling more calls for him to withdraw from the 2024 race and sparking fierce condemnation for refusing to commit to a cognitive exam.
“I wimped out in today’s column and deleted a line saying he should formulate a plan to transition the presidency to Harris within 30-60 days, but I’m there now. Something is clearly wrong here,” polling guru Nate Silver reacted to the Biden interview.
“The most generous way to put it is that he doesn’t seem in command, and that’s an extremely hard sell when you’re Commander in Chief. I continue to think this number is low and Democrats will apply incredible amounts of pressure,” Silver continued, pointing to the Polymarket stat showing a “57% chance” Biden drops out of the race.
“The president is rightfully proud of his record. But he is dangerously out-of-touch with the concerns people have about his [capacities] moving forward and his standing in this race,” former Obama adviser David Axelrod wrote on X. “Four years ago at this time, he was 10 points ahead of Trump. Today, he is six points behind.”
“I deeply respect Joe Biden’s lifetime of service to our country. But the argument [Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez] makes in this column is the right one. In this critical time, in this vital election, stepping aside is the right and honorable thing for President Biden to do,” businessman and former Democratic LA mayoral candidate Rick Caruso wrote.
Not as bad as the debate’ is like saying a movie wasn’t as bad as ‘Howard the Duck,’” National Review editor Phillip Klein quipped.
“That @ABC interview did not help. At all,” CNN contributor S.E. Cupp said. “There’s no ‘A for effort.’ It’s beat Trump or step aside.”
“Something scary this interview is making clear…As much as the folks around Biden hid the truth from us…Is how much they’re hiding the truth from Biden,” Ruthless podcast host Comfortably Smug wrote.
Many called out Biden for repeatedly dodging questions from ABC’s George Stephanopoulos about whether he would agree to take a neurological test and release its findings to the public.
Some, including Silver and Versus Media podcast host Stephen L. Miller, declared his refusal “disqualifying.”
“Surprised no emphasis on fact that Biden flatly refuses to take cognitive test. Clearly afraid of the possible results. And that is enormously telling,” former New York Times reporter Bill Carter reacted.
“Why would Biden, if he’s fully up to snuff, not agree to undergo a neurological evaluation? What would be the downside there?” Insider reporter Bryan Metzger wondered.
“So in summary: Biden refused to say he’d take a cognitive test, refused to say he would consider stepping down if key allies asked him to, said the polls are fake news, and that he wouldn’t fret if he lost as long as he tried his best. This is all Trumpian bulls—. Just madness,” The Atlantic contributing writer Tyler Austin Harper slammed the president.
Others concluded that the ABC interview was not the death knell to Biden’s candidacy, while at the same time, it will give Democrats more heartburn as the campaign unfolds.
“That was the worst possible outcome: not anywhere near good enough to settle matters, but also not quite bad enough to be a slam-dunk that he has to go tomorrow,” The New Republic editor Michael Tomasky said.
“George Stephanopoulos failed to euthanize Joe Biden tonight, but he probably inspired a lot of Democrats to force Schumer, Pelosi, Jeffries, etc. to push Biden to get out,” conservative radio host Erick Erickson wrote.
“This interview was the worst of all worlds for the Ds. Biden committed no real flubs. He didn’t do anything to force himself out of the race. But he appears old, weak, tentative and he’s losing to Trump. So Biden will dig in and stay. The Ds are stuck,” Fox News contributor Ari Fleischer similarly posted.
Biden’s shocking debate performance has become a political earthquake with wide swaths of the liberal media calling for him to withdraw from the presidential race.
His handlers, Jill and Hunter, sent him out for the 2nd round, his mouth piece, Karine Jean-Pierre, touted that the Big Man was fine. Been down a half-dozen times in round one, punch drunk, legs like rubber, the corner can’t stop the bleeding, at his direction they are ordered not to throw in the towel. Their man says, “I know I can beat him, yes like a drum.” “Yes, I’m the only one.”
They push the dead man walking out for the final carnage to face an opponent who has no mercy, one who is out for blood. It’s a one-two punch, set up by a left jab (what an irony) then a vicious uppercut that he didn’t see it coming – neck stretched, head snaps back manifesting a dizzy array of confused like expressions, eyes roll back into the skull, in a sliver of consciousness Stupid realizes what has transpired.
His head catches the ropes, a split second before going down in a flurry, with a dazed facial utterance, the brain dead skull hits the canvas bouncing off the tarmac like canvas, in a slow motion sequence, not once, not twice, but three times. The pundits call it a disaster of the third kind. The corner came in rendering help, if there was any to be given.
Stupid didn’t want a doctor, he knew it all, with his cauliflower ears, wasn’t hearing none of it. For the punch drunk brain dead favorite said a neurological specialist was not in the cards. One step away from inhaling his last breath, he still knew it all.
Deaths door finally arrived, a long time coming, but for this lying feces, it could not have come soon enough, lies will only get you so far before you run out of them. The Big Guy, stupid being stupid, had lost his pride, had nowhere to hide as the world’s 9 billion watched in disbelief the end to this Mother Fucker.
There will be no party, no comeback this time, no acknowledgement but the hole dug by him. Down goes the Dementia One, no fanfare, no more victories, but a devastating loss for all to remember.The blood bath
was so severe, the devastating loss so great, being unconscious, Stupid never realize what happened.
His tombstone read, “Here lies a liar and his bunch of lies, that is the simple truth.”MAWS (make America weak again), beaten to a pulp by MAGA for the ultimate loss in retribution to a stolen election.
This time The Steal
was stopped in its tracks when the final hammer came down.
China seizes Taiwan boat with crew for illegal fishing
By Rupert Wingfield-Hayes & Fan Wang, BBC News in Taipei and Singapore
China has said it seized a Taiwanese boat, which had five crew members on board, for illegally fishing in its territorial waters on Tuesday night.
Taiwan has asked China to release the vessel – and the men, two Taiwanese and three Indonesians – which is being held at Weitou, a port in the south-east.
Taiwanese officials have confirmed to the BBC that the boat was seized inside China’s territorial waters, about 2.8 nautical miles (5.1km) off its coast. It was also operating during China’s annual summer-time fishing ban from May to August.
“The fishing vessel violated the fishing moratorium regulations and trawled illegally within the… prohibited area,” Liu Dejun, spokesperson of the China Coast Guard, said.
He also accused it of using the wrong fishing gear and “damaging marine fishery resources”. Taiwan is yet to respond to these comments.
Such altercations have become common in the contested 110-mile strait that separates China and Taiwan.
China claims self-ruled Taiwan as its own and the strait as its exclusive economic zone, although other countries that navigate these waters, such as Japan and the United States, do not recongise this. And the Chinese military has ramped up pressure on Taiwan in recent years.
Chinese authrities have seized and detained 17 Taiwan-registered vessels since 2003 for fishing during the summer-time ban, Taipei’s data shows. Taiwan too has detained five such boats from China this year alone.
Taiwanese authorities say they were alerted at 20:04 local time (12:04 GMT) on Tuesday by the captain that officers from two Chinese coast guard vessels had boarded and seized the fishing boat.
There was a brief but tense standoff as three Taiwanese coast guard ships were dispatched to rescue the boat. But they said they did not pursue them because there were four other Chinese coast guard ships approaching and they did not want to escalate tensions.
China’s coast guard says the Taiwanese used loudspeakers to demand the release of the fishing boat – and the Chinese did the same, asking the other side not to interfere.
“There were 40 to 50 fishing boats out at sea at the time. I don’t know why he targeted my boat,” the owner of the fishing vessel told local media. “This never happened before – in the past they would just chase you away if you got too close.”

China’s coast guard has been enforcing Beijing’s assertive claims
Beijing and Taipei used to be more flexible about each other’s fishing fleets, especially around Taiwan’s off-shore islands, which lie extremely close to the Chinese coast.
But in recent years Taiwan has been enforcing its own waters more strictly – a response to what it says is a massive increase in poaching by fishermen from China’s coastal Fujian province.
In February, two Chinese fishermen drowned after their boat overturned while trying to outrun a Taiwanese coast guard boat. Since then, China’s coast guard has turned more assertive in patrolling around Taiwan’s outlying islands.
China has also become increasingly aggressive in enforcing what it sees as its maritime claims across the region. Its coast guard has become the most visbile arm of Beijing’s vast naval operation.
Its dispute with the Philipines over a number of reefs in the South China Sea has caught the most attention and has raised Washington’s concerns.

‘Close enough to see their faces’: Chased down by China in South China Sea
But the Chinese coast guard has also stepped up its actions around a Japanese-controlled group of islands in the East China Sea, known in Japan as the Senkaku and in China as the Diaoyu.
Last month Chinese coast guard ships took the unprecedented step of driving away Japanese fishing boats close to the islets. It led to a brief stand-off between Chinese and Japanese coast guard ships.
This more assertive Chinese behaviour also comes just weeks after Beijing implemented new maritime regulations that give it’s coast guard personnel wide powers to board, search and detain vessels inside all waters China claims.
Under the new regulations, foreign nationals who are considered to have violated “exit and entry rules” can be detained without charge for up to 60 days.
The new regulations were thought to have been aimed mostly at deterring Filipino fishermen from entering disputed reefs in the South China Sea.
But maritime scholars have been quick to point out that China has expansive, poorly- defined claims across thousands of square kilometers of sea that are disputed by all of its neighbors from South Korea to Indonesia.
Their man says, “I know I can beat him, yes like a drum.” “Yes, I’m the only one.”
