Joe Biden took the stage at the National Bar Association’s 100th annual gala in at the Hyatt in Chicago on Thursday night.
The 82-year-old looked completely lost as he arrived to the event. Biden had to be escorted to his seat.
This is one of Joe Biden’s rare public appearances since announcing he has an aggressive form of prostate cancer that spread to his bones.
Biden stumbled through his remarks, heavily slurred and trashed the Trump Administration in his speech to black lawyers and judges.
The Democrats official X account posted a chart featuring US grocery inflation. The intent was to show the public that prices had reached record highs in 2025 under the Trump Administration; however, the graphic actually revealed the culprit for the rise in food prices.
Grocery prices skyrocketed in 2021, a year into the pandemic. Supply chain shortages were abundant, shipping docks were at a standstill, and countless food producers were forced to shutter their businesses to adhere to social distancing guidelines. World trade temporarily halted. We then had the Ukraine war breakout in 2022, disrupting Europe’s bread basket. Poor weather conditions resulted in low harvests, and a series of diseases spread to livestock and poultry. Every nation experienced a rise in food prices following the disastrous policies set forth in 2020, with most feeling the inflationary shocks starting in 2021.
Food-at-home groceries rose 24% from January 2020 to January 2023. Grocery prices surged 25.8% by March 2024 and did not experience a downturn until April 2024 when prices dropped a mere -0.2% on the monthly. Grocery prices rose 22% to 25% under Biden’s presidency. “Prices are higher today than they were in July 2024, all in major categories listed below,” read the caption on the since-deleted graphic posted by the Democrat’s X account. If anyone cared to look, they would have seen that prices have fallen relatively flat under Trump, whereas they were skyrocketing under Biden.
The House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday launched an investigation into whether the EU and Biden administration pressured Spotify to censor free speech, The Post has learned.
Censorship has been a point of tension for Spotify, which has faced heated backlash for flagging COVID-19 information from podcaster Joe Rogan and banning Steve Bannon from the platform.
“More relevantly, it’s the pressure we are seeing the EU put on companies to censor more,” a source familiar with the probe told The Post.
In a letter sent to Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, US Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) slammed recent laws from the EU and UK that require social media platforms – even those based in the US – to censor “disinformation” and “harmful content” or face massive fines.
“These foreign laws, regulations, and judicial orders may limit or restrict Americans’ access to constitutionally protected speech in the United States. Indeed, that appears to be their very purpose,” Jordan wrote in a copy of the letter obtained by The Post.
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since the Democratic Party launched its soft coup against the political liability that was Joe Biden.
Thursday marked the day President(?) Joe Biden delivered a mushed-mouth Oval Office speech to further explain “his decision” to end his run for a second presidential term. He claimed, as he struggled to read the teleprompter, that he was putting the country and democracy above “personal ambition.”
What a guy.
“When you elected me to this office, I promised to always level with you, to tell you the truth,” Biden said. It was a bold statement from a man and an administration that had routinely lied to the American people for four long years.
In fact, some very powerful people in his party were not only telling him to get the hell out of the way, they were forcing the issue. You’ll recall Biden’s meltdown in his disastrous late-June debate against then-presumptive GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump. That was the “Oh, (expletive deleted)” moment for a Democrat Party in mid-implosion. George Clooney lamented in a New York Times’ op-ed that Joe Biden was a shell of his old “Big F-ing deal” self, and Nancy Pelosi performed her best Lady Macbeth behind the scenes as dozens of liberal members of Congress did the dirty work on stage.
A tweet from the official Democratic Party’s X account was ridiculed on Thursday after inadvertently showing prices skyrocketing under former President Joe Biden.
The post attempted to describe rising grocery prices under “Trump’s America” using a graph dating from October 2019 to 2025. The graph claimed that “U.S. Grocery Prices Reached Record Highs in 2025” with prices “higher today than they were on July 2024” in categories such as dairy, produce and meat.
However, many X users pointed out that the graph, in fact, showed prices skyrocketing in 2021 when Biden was president and only leveling off at the end of 2024 when President Donald Trump was re-elected.
“You’re showing us a graph of stable prices suddenly rising the moment you came into power and then steadily rising higher and higher until Trump was reelected,” political commentator Chad Felix Greene wrote.
On Friday, the Environmental Protection Agency officially appealed a federal court ruling which ordered the agency to take action against the risks posed by fluoridation chemicals.
The EPA staked their appeal on three main arguments, including a belief that the plaintiffs’ lack standing, the judge improperly considered new evidence, and the district court went beyond its authority in its management of the case.
The EPA’s appeal is the latest development in a nearly decade-long legal saga between the EPA, and parents of children impacted by water fluoridation, as well as the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). The lawsuit began following the EPA’s 2016 decision to deny the plaintiff’s petition under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). In September 2024, Judge Edward Chen found that fluoridation of water at 0.7 milligram per liter “poses an unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children”.
Chen said the risk is sufficient to require the EPA to enact a regulatory response. However, he said that TSCA only granted him the authority to direct the EPA to take action against the risk, but not to prescribe the specifics of its response, which could range from a national warning to an outright ban.
In the final days of the Biden administration the EPA filed their appeal, and now, under leadership appointed by President Donald Trump, the EPA has decided to continue fighting the judge’s ruling.
Joe Biden just landed another big payday, this time in the form of a $10 million advance to write a presidential memoir.
Does anyone believe that Joe Biden is going to write a book that generates $10 million dollars in sales? More to the point, does anyone really believe that Joe Biden is going to actually write a book?
This is a tome that will be ghost written and will end up on the discount table not long after being released.
Breitbart News reports:
Report: Joe Biden’s Presidential Memoir Sells for $10 Million
Former President Joe Biden (D) will reportedly receive a $10 million advance for his memoir about his four years leading the nation.
Biden sold the title to the Hachette Book Group but its publisher, Little, Brown, & Company, has not set a date for publication. Biden has said he is “working my tail off” writing his book, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Wednesday.
According to the article, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama made significantly more on their book deals:
Penguin Random House acquired the rights to books by former U.S. President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama in 2017 for a price that was widely reported at the time as being in the range of $60 million. President Trump didn’t publish a memoir after his first term in office. Alfred A. Knopf, which like Penguin Random House is owned by Bertelsmann, paid $15 million for President Bill Clinton’s 2004 memoir “My Life.”
The walls may finally be closing in on Joe Biden’s inner circle. This week, former Chief of Staff Ron Klain, who effectively ran the White House during Biden’s first two critical years, showed up for a closed-door interview with staff from the House Oversight Committee. Did the ultimate Biden insider finally confirm what millions of Americans have suspected for years: that Biden’s mental decline was no secret inside the West Wing?
The House Oversight Committee, under the leadership of Chairman James Comer, is investigating whether Biden’s inner circle deliberately hid signs of his decline, whether his top aides shielded him from public scrutiny, propped him up behind the scenes, or even signed off on executive actions without his knowledge. If any of that proves true, it would confirm what critics have long feared: that Biden wasn’t running the country. His staff was.
So far, Klain’s testimony remains sealed, but sources say both Republican and Democrat staffers pressed him hard. After all, the American public has watched Biden’s mental slide play out in real time, with constant gaffes, blank stares, and bizarre behavior that have become almost routine. Now, Congress is trying to get to the bottom of what may be the biggest presidential scandal in modern history: the attempted cover-up of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and the disturbing questions about who was calling the shots during his failed presidency.
Klain’s testimony quickly became the focus for both sides. Reports from the first hour revealed that Klain’s demeanor was serious, measured, and, somewhat surprisingly, forthright.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) told reporters about an hour into the closed-door interview that Ron Klain was fully cooperative and didn’t dodge any questions from Republicans.
“I found Mr. Klain to be very credible,” Khanna said. “He answered every single question. He was fully cooperative. There were times he was asked about personal conversations with the president, and he was forthcoming. I really appreciate his candor and the comprehensive way he responded.”
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) offered a more measured take, telling Fox News Digital that Klain appeared to be doing his best to answer truthfully. “Yeah, when I say credible, I think he is telling what he knows accurately. I mean, he’s trying to be accurate,” Biggs said. “In my opinion, he’s not trying to avoid the questions. He’s answering carefully, saying the things I kind of expected him to say. But he’s been answering forthrightly and in the way he sees the world.”
Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) also gave a cautious thumbs-up during a break in the session. “I think we’re having a very good transcribed interview. Mr. Klain is being fairly responsive to our questions,” Comer said.
Senator Ron Johnson, R-Wis., is demanding the National Archives turn over all records related to former President Joe Biden’s health and cognitive decline. Johnson sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio last week, who is serving as the acting U.S. archivist. In the letter, Johnson said he is conducting an investigation into “the cover-up of Biden’s health.”
My office has been reviewing the allegations that former President Biden, cabinet members, and his staff covered up his declining mental and physical health over the course of his presidency,” Johnson wrote in the letter, first obtained by Fox News Digital.
The investigation comes just days after Biden’s son, Hunter, said on a podcast that his father was taking Ambien before his first presidential debate last year. But Biden’s publicly available medical records do not list Ambien as a medication he was prescribed.
Now that investigations into the autopen presidency are underway, left-leaning media and Democratic politicians are finally confronted with the truth that was right in front of our faces for years: Joe Biden was not running the country, and America was being led by an unelected, unaccountable polit-bureau.
Every week we learn more that makes the long national nightmare we endured even worse. Now, thanks to the New York Times, of all places, we learn that Joe Biden couldn’t even manage the task of signing his own name on pardons of violent and dangerous criminals, and at best, only knew of categories of those being pardoned.
President Biden was forced to bow out of his campaign after he embarrassed the political class and media elite during that fateful June 27 debate with Donald Trump – but he was NOT forced to resign from the most powerful office on Planet Earth.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced at the Republican National Lawyers Association policy conference in May that he was determined to conduct full investigations to get to the truth for the American people.
Thankfully, Comer is making good on his promise – but it’s not going to be easy.
On July 9, after the Trump administration released the Biden family doctor from the burden of executive privilege, Dr. Kevin O’Connor began the trend of refusing to answer the Oversight Committee’s questions and chose to plead the Fifth Amendment, presumably to protect himself from criminal self-incrimination.
Chairman Comer declares he will “continue to interview more Biden White House aides to get the answers Americans deserve,” and with former press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announcing her own forthcoming book on the heels of “Original Sin” by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, it’s expected that more will come out that further confirms Biden’s mental and cognitive incapacity.
Some legal experts have agreed that an autopen signature could be legal, but we never seriously considered signing laws using the autopen until Barack Obama signed Patriot Act extensions while he was in France in 2011. Obama left congressional Republicans questioning the validity of such use when he again used an autopen to sign the 2013 “fiscal cliff” legislation during one of his Hawaii vacations.
