Biden Says He’ll Drop Out of the 2024 Race if ‘God Comes Down and Tells Him To’ in Dumpster Fire Interview with George Stephanopoulos

Joe Biden sat down with Democrat operative George Stephanopoulos for an interview on ABC News on Friday.

The interview with a total dumpster fire.

“Are you the same man today that you were when you took office three-and-a-half years ago?” Stephanopoulos asked.

“In terms of successes, yes,” Biden said. “I also was the guy who put together a peace plan for the Middle East that may be comin’ to fruition. I was also the guy that expanded NATO. I was also the guy that grew the economy. All the individual things that were done were ideas I had or I fulfilled. I moved on.”

“Do you dispute that there have been more lapses, especially in the last several months?” Stephanopoulos asked.

“Can I run the 100 in 10 flat? No. But I’m still in good shape,” Biden said.

Stephanopoulos pressed Biden, “Are you more frail?”

“No,” Biden said.

ABC News Pundits React in Horror to Biden Interview With Stephanopoulos: ‘Aging is Not Like a Broken Bone – It Doesn’t Get Better’

Joe Biden did his much talked about interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC News tonight and it was a worst case scenario for Democrats.

While Biden did not make any flubs that would force him out of the race, he still came across as old, feeble and out of touch with the reality of the election, meaning that he is just as weak a candidate as he was yesterday and he is not dropping out. Democrats are stuck with him.

After the interview was over, Stephanopoulos went to his fellow ABC News pundits for comment.

The looks on their faces said it all. Look at this. They look like they’re at a funeral.

Reports of Joe Biden Having Medical Emergency on Air Force One as Democrats Scramble to Replace Him APPEAR TO BE INACCURATE – Elon Musk Responds

As the Democrats scramble for an excuse to remove Joe Biden from the 2024 Presidential ticket, following his horrendous debate performance, it was reported on Friday evening that Joe Biden suffered some kind of medical emergency.

However, there is no confirmation of this, and unfortunately for the Democratic Party, it appears to be inaccurate.

Newsmax’s Monica Crowley reported on X, “Biden is reportedly having a medical emergency aboard Air Force One.”

Elon Musk responded to a repost by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), trolling the Biden Regime by adding, “That’s just every flight these days.”

One America News Network’s Chanel Rion appeared to cast doubt on the allegations, noting it’s unclear the sourcing of this. “press pool traveling with him just reported they have arrived with the president’s motorcade at his home,” reports Rion.

I was punished under the Espionage Act. Why wasn’t Joe Biden?

In February, I was released from federal prison, having served 33 months for a violation of the Espionage Act, after I disclosed classified information detailing what I saw as the high moral cost of America’s drone assassination program. Before having time to adjust to the world beyond concrete walls, I was struck by the news of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report [PDF] wherein he lays out the reasons he decided not to charge President Joe Biden for alleged violations of the same law.

I am always encouraged to hear whenever the Justice Department decides against using the Espionage Act. By the time the ink of the 1917 law had dried, it was already being used to silence voices of dissent across the country. Thousands were rounded up and summarily convicted for their opposition to America’s involvement in the bloodiest conflict in human history at the time.

While some of the worst aspects of the law have since been amended, the Espionage Act remains the premier criminal statute for prosecuting government sources who rely upon the press to expose secret government abuses to the public. The decision by Justice Department officials to go after government whistleblowers with the Espionage Act has been a part of a concerted effort to signal clearly that the next person who dares speak with a reporter could find themselves facing decades of incarceration.

After reading Special Counsel Hur’s report, I was curious to find the similarities between my case and that of the investigation into the president. According to the report, President Biden kept classified information outside of a secure facility at his home and office – as did I. The president later spoke with a reporter about the classified information he retained – again, as did I.

Both President Biden and I expressed to our respective reporters the concerns we had about official US policy – his about the failed 2009 surge in Afghanistan (as vice president) and mine about the consequences of that policy. So why the decision to prosecute one and not the other?

AP Slammed Over Bizarre Report Calling Biden ‘Sharp and Focused’ But Also ‘Confused and Forgetful’

The Associated Press (AP) faced intense criticism after publishing a Wednesday report stating that 81-year-old Joe Biden is “often sharp and focused” but also “confused and forgetful.” 

This report followed Biden’s disastrous debate performance last week against Donald Trump.

Five AP reporters contributed to the article titled, “Biden at 81: Often sharp and focused but sometimes confused and forgetful,” which drew significant backlash online. 

The article title itself ignited reactions from many users. “It’s real,” the Post Millenial’s Libby Emmons wrote on X, accompanied with a screenshot of the report.

Biden tells Democratic governors he needs more sleep and plans to stop scheduling events after 8 p.m.

President Joe Biden told Democratic governors during a meeting at the White House on Wednesday that part of his plan going forward is to stop scheduling events after 8 p.m. so that he can get more sleep, according to three sources briefed on his comments.

The remarks, first reported by The New York Times, came as the 81-year-old Biden sought to reassure a group of more than 20 state leaders about his ability to defeat former President Donald Trump in November and govern effectively for another four years.

Biden’s comment left several of the governors in the room frustrated, sources told CNN, and is one of the reasons that some of the participants have been rankled by the statement of loyalty and enthusiasm from them distributed by the Biden campaign on Thursday.

The White House did not immediately comment about what the president said. A Biden campaign aide argued that, as well as doing debate prep in the week after his two trips to Europe, Biden was engaged in hours of official work in addition to the hours of campaign work.

“President (George W.) Bush went to bed at 9, and President (Barack) Obama made dinner at 6:30,” said Biden campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz. “Normal presidents strike a balance, and so does Joe Biden. Hardly the same rigor as Donald Trump, who spends half of his day ranting on Truth Social about plans that would cause a recession and the other half golfing.”

Biden also made a joke to the governors that didn’t go over well: “I’m fine — I don’t know about my brain, though.” Jen O’Malley Dillon, Biden’s campaign chairwoman, said the president was “clearly making a joke and then said, ‘All kidding aside.’”

Utah Joins Growing Number of States Ignoring Biden Admin’s New Title IX Rule

On June 19, the Utah legislature passed resolutions directing state government entities to ignore the Biden administration’s new interpretation of Title IX, joining numerous other states who have opposed the administration’s proposed expansion of anti-discrimination protections.

The two resolutions, HCR301 and HJR301, declare through “legislative findings” that the new rules are an “overreach of federal administrative authority.”

The issue stems from the Biden administration’s proposed interpretative rule, released in April, which would expand the enforceable scope of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act. Title IX bars discrimination “on the basis of sex”; the Biden administration’s new rule interprets this clause as prohibiting discrimination based on “sexual orientation” and “gender identity.” Opponents say the Department of Education’s new rule could force states to allow biological men to play in women’s sports.

The new rule, which uses 423 pages to clarify a clause that is 37 words long, is set to go into effect on August 1.

But whether it will go into effect is increasingly a matter of dispute. With the passage of the recent resolutions, Utah joins a growing number of states—including Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas—that are officially ignoring the Biden administration’s new Title IX rules. Additionally, 26 state Attorneys General have filed lawsuits against the Department of Education challenging its interpretation.

“We are a sovereign state and do not want the federal government telling us what to do,” Utah state Rep. Trevor Lee (R–Layton) told Reason when asked why he voted in favor of the resolutions. “We decided already on these issues as a state.”

Opponents of the law say the new rule is an incorrect interpretation of the statute and does not reflect the intentions of the original lawmakers. “It is concerning how the Executive Branch is unilaterally altering laws, circumventing Congress and compromising due process, thereby exceeding its constitutional authority,” Utah state Sen. Curt Bramble (R–Provo) told Reason.

Social Workers Push Biden To Fully Decriminalize Marijuana Under Federal Law, Not Just Reschedule It

Nearly 150 social workers have signed on to a letter urging President Joe Biden to fully remove marijuana from the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA), arguing that despite the administration’s proposal to downgrade cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III, there’s nevertheless a “critical need for decriminalization.”

“The criminalization of marijuana has torn apart families, with overwhelmingly disparate impact in communities of color,” says the letter, sent to the president by 148 social workers last week. “If marijuana remains scheduled under the CSA, the individual and collective suffering caused by prohibition will continue growing.”

The letter points out that under current law, people convicted of drug offenses can lose public benefits, including welfare aid under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program as well as access to housing.

“By virtue of our profession, we have witnessed the grievous harm that marijuana criminalization has caused,” it says. “If marijuana remains scheduled, parents will lose their children, children will lose their homes, and beloved members of our households will be deprived of essential benefits.”

Despite overwhelming support for legalization, it adds, “the use of marijuana remains a federal crime”—which would still be true in most cases even after federal rescheduling.

The current patchwork of state and local laws has also led to sharply different circumstances across the country, the letter continues, arguing that the “piecemeal approach towards legalization has created significant disparities in opportunities and outcomes.”

“While communities in legal states can build wealth from legal marijuana sales and benefit from regulations that ensure a safe, unaltered product,” it says, “other communities are subject to losing their homes, their occupations, their families, and their freedom over the same substance. The disparities in marijuana laws stand in stark opposition to the 88% of Americans who support legalization.”

“Approximately 80% of all children in the foster care system are removed from their homes for drug-related causes,” it adds.

“His Hand Feels Cool, Eerily Cool. That’s Why They Said He Was 40% Dead” — Democrats and the White House Have Been Hiding Joe Biden’s Cognitive Decline

Cenk Uygur commented on Olivia Nuzzi’s bombshell report about the White House hiding Biden’s cognitive decline.

Nuzzi’s piece, “The Conspiracy of Silence to Protect Joe Biden. The president’s mental decline was like a dark family secret for many elite supporters,” is the first honest report on Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.

The legacy media lied to the American public for years, knowing Joe Biden was suffering from severe dementia. Now they are finally coming clean.

But behind the scenes, powerful elites and well-connected people knew that the current Joe Biden was a husk of his former self. They even played guessing games to decide how dead he was.

White House Defends Labeling Critical Biden Videos as “Deepfakes”

The world (and the US with it, with the current US administration pretty much leading the way) has for the last few years witnessed what has obviously been a concerted effort to make “AI-powered deepfakes” a thing.

Specifically – a thing that can negatively shape up an election, or even break a democracy.

Anyone, especially apolitical people but those with even a cursory knowledge of the “deepfakes” tech and how long it’s been around in all sorts of media, might have been confused as to why this rhetoric is happening, and why now?

Well – now – months before a US presidential election, we’re starting to get answers.

President Joe Biden is trying to remain in office – and now the White House is giving the world an indication of why the “deepfakes” scaremongering was launched in the first place (and then dutiful picked up by certain – or let’s say, most – corporate media.)

“Confused and disoriented” is a (believe it or not) nicer way to describe the situation with President Biden and his public appearances; the latest, and at this time, the most important, concerns his performance during debates last week.

Instead of trying to prop their candidate up (figuratively and literally) in some credible way, the current White House decided to label the media showing clips of Biden “malfunctioning” as, in addition to being “disinformation, misinformation” – also “cheap fakes.”

But what in the world is that? Is it a video that somebody just happens to dislike, so it’s branded in a way deceptively invoking the dreaded “deepfakes”?
