Biden fails his Hurricane Katrina moment

“I didn’t know which storm you’re talking about,” President Joe Biden said this week, as Hurricane Helene ravaged the southeastern United States. “They’ve gotten everything they need. They’re very happy across the board,” he said, as private citizens have stepped in to fill the void created by the federal government’s lackluster response.Some Americans who have flown helicopters to rescue victims from the storm have reportedly been threatened with arrest, including one who is a volunteer firefighter. Nevertheless, Biden insists that Americans have what they need, and Vice President Kamala Harris prepares to rush to the scene after promising one-time payments of $750.

After ditching their senior, Democrats now think Trump is too old

After being gaslit into believing President Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were up to par, some are licking their wounds by questioning the mental fitness and age of former president Donald Trump. Now that Biden is out of the race, Donald Trump is the oldest presidential nominee in US history. “Trump, a seventy-eight-year-old with a history of heart disease and obesity, according to experts, has not shared any updated bloodwork results or other specific information during this campaign to help experts assess his ongoing medical risks,” Cockburn read Monday in the Washington Post. Think of it — an obese president! Cue the fat shamers.

The cheap-fake presidency

From almost the outset of Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign, everyone — from his family to close aides to the White House comms shop — has engaged in careful stagecraft and clever editing to hide him away from the public. It’s all coming out now, though, thanks to Biden’s catastrophic debate performance that laid bare whatever condition he is suffering from for the entire country to see.Every carefully orchestrated step the White House took to shield Biden is now coming under a microscope. Whether it’s the president’s tire-tread tennis shoes, or using the small stairs on Air Force One — these tactics are just the beginning. Last February, the White House pulled out of a live Super Bowl interview, claiming it would not serve Biden to speak to that audience.

Tune into Trump’s VP Apprentice show

Welcome to Thunderdome. Well, we finally have it! A list of contestants for Donald Trump’s long-anticipated veepstakes, designed to play out live and on camera in the coming month before the Republican convention — you just know he’s going to make us all wait for the reveal. There are a few surprises in omissions and additions, but not many. Now, this being Trump, he could always swerve at the last minute and have a surprise entry... so Tulsi Gabbard fans, all hope is not lost. But here are the candidates we know for now: Governor Doug Burgum (ND) Ben Carson, former HUD secretary Senator Tom Cotton (Ark.) Representative Byron Donalds (Fla.) Senator Marco Rubio (Fla.) Senator Tim Scott (S.C.) Representative Elise Stefanik (N.Y.

The media’s war on your eyes and ears

Ever since the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on Joe Biden’s illegal handling of classified materials and documents (he “stored” them in open boxes and grocery bags in his home garage, where Hunter Biden crashed during the pandemic), there has been a media blitz to combat its characterization of the president as “a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.” Notes in the report also revealed that Biden had trouble remembering key dates from his personal and professional biography, like when he served as vice president or the year that his son Beau died of brain cancer.

Biden is the real turkey this Thanksgiving

President Joe Biden participated in the annual Thanksgiving turkey pardon from the White House on Monday, appearing for fewer than ten minutes for what should have been a gravy — or, perhaps, easy as pie — public event. Instead, the brief appearance reminded us all of what we already know: Biden is not capable of handling the basic duties required to be president and would probably be better served handing out smiley face stickers to Walmart shoppers. Coincidentally, today’s pardon took place on Biden’s eighty-first birthday. White House staff were apparently eager to get ahead of chatter about the president’s age and included several jokes about it in his script.
