Watch: Biden Stumbles, Struggles to Speak for 41 Seconds Straight
Grant Atkinson May 5, 2021 at 3:48pm President Joe Biden's inability to think and speak clearly has raised questions about his health since his presidential campaign. Unfortunately, he is not showing any evidence that those concerns are misplaced. On Wednesday, Biden struggled to speak for 41 straight seconds during a speech in the White House State Dining Room. He was attempting to discuss the impact of the pandemic on the restaurant business, but it was hard to hear that message amid his stumbling. For nearly one minute of air time, Biden was slurring his words, mistaking millions for thousands and failing to effectively communicate any real point to the American people. After the first incident, Biden again appeared completely spaced out when answering a question from a reporter. He repeatedly paused for awkwardly long amounts of time, and when he did speak, his answer provided little to no actual substance. While The Daily Wire was clearly being sarcastic with its comment, the reality is that many on the left really do wish to pretend that Biden's constant stumbling is not a serious concern. In November, Forbes contributor Ali Shahbaz wrote an article suggesting that Biden was an inspiration to Americans with disabilities. In it, he also suggested that virtually any gaffe Biden makes during his speeches must be due to the stutter he's had since childhood, not a decline in mental or physical health. "At various points of the presidential campaign, Biden received criticism that signaled a worrying lack of awareness of speech disorders," Shahbaz wrote. "Some attributed his stutter to 'cognitive decline'. Others mocked it as one of his 'gaffes'. Still others questioned his mental fitness to run for presidency." Related: Biden-Backed Violence Against Women Act Will Only Hurt Women in Its Current State In reality, two things can be true at once. Some of Biden's verbal stumbling could be due to his stutter, while other incidents may point to a decline in health. Yet to the left, it's all or nothing. Since Biden has dealt with a stutter for most of his life, that apparently means that any criticism of him must be evil. "Biden's stutter had become an open display of vulnerability," Shahbaz continued. "And opponents showed an unapologetic appetite to capitalize on any and all susceptibility. It is simply the law of the jungle. In politics, that is." This idea is a complete misrepresentation of the facts. Shahbaz would like readers to believe that Biden is a completely healthy man otherwise who has been wrongfully mocked for a genuine disorder. Completing this poll entitles you to The Western Journal news updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Instead, the truth is that Biden is a man experiencing mental and physical decline who wishes to use a stutter as a "catch-all" excuse for other concerning health problems. Beyond that, the concern that many conservatives have expressed regarding Biden's cognitive state is not necessarily born from malice against Biden himself. Instead, it is simply a belief that Biden's inability to communicate is dangerous both for the country and for his own health. Some Republicans have said that they actually feel bad for Biden because they believe he is being mistreated by Democrats who refuse to acknowledge his health concerns. According to private communications obtained by Politico, Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah has expressed such sentiments. "I of course have no medical training and can't diagnose a condition - especially over someone I don't personally interact daily - but from a distance I can see that he's not doing well," Lee reportedly said. "Sad. And disturbing." When it comes down to it, Republicans are not the ones who are trotting Biden out in front of the country despite his obvious struggles. The Democrats' insistence on doing so is arguably more cruel than anything Republicans have said about Biden's condition. The continued failure of the president to communicate effectively is not normal, and it goes beyond a stutter or speech impediment. Biden's tendency to not only stumble, but also completely lose his train of thought, suggests that much more concerning elements are in play. ------------------------- The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED. -BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is. -They are both card carrying narcissists. ^These are PROVED facts. |

Nope, not even close. A house or wood, the rest has been on a steady rise for years. Did you really think trade wars would have no lasting effect? Wow....the bullshit flows from Coleslaw! Battered Biden under siege as crises confound the White House Remarkable 5 days of bad developments stretching from Israel to Mexican border, up East Coast via Colonial Pipeline By Keith Koffler National Security threats overwhelm Biden administration Former Assistant Secretary of State under President George W. Bush Robert Charles provides insight. Memo to President Biden: Life moves pretty fast, and now the world is on fire. Israel is erupting, Americans are utterly confused when masks should be worn for COVID-19 protection and then there are the agita-inducing long lines for gasoline. And that was just Tuesday. A lot has changed in a matter of days. Friday was supposed to be a glorious day for Biden. The latest employment numbers were set to be released, and economists were gushing that a million new jobs had likely been created in April by exuberant employers and their newly vaccinated workers. His team no doubt was prepared to unleash Biden to perform a little victory dance at the White House celebrating the stupendous number. But the show had to be hastily revamped when the actual tally came in nearly three-quarters-of-a-million jobs lower than expected; just 266,000 jobs created and unemployment unexpectedly rising to 6.1%. "You might think we should be disappointed," Biden said, which was indeed something people might think. But the American Rescue Plan he signed into law in March "was designed to help us over the course of a year - not 60 days," he said. Far from being a disappointment, a jobs report that included 734,000 jobs fewer than expected was good news. "Today, there is more evidence our economy is moving in the right direction," Biden said. "This is progress. This is a testament to our new strategy," he said. "We've got work to do, to state the obvious, we have work to do." You might think. The jobs figures were just the first in a series of out-of-nowhere body blows the president was to be pilloried with during a remarkable five days of bad developments that stretched from Israel to the Mexican border and up the East Coast via the Colonial Pipeline. After delivering a few remarks Friday, taking in the "Weekly Economic Briefing" and meeting with his "Jobs Cabinet," the president knocked off at 5:45 pm and headed for the peacefully wooded Catoctin Mountain Park, where the presidential refuge Camp David awaited in Maryland. He was ready for a rest, but the world wasn't ready to give him one. By Saturday morning, the Colonial Pipeline, which transports nearly half of the East Coast's fuel supplies up from Texas, had been turned off, the victim of a ransomware cyberattack by a group of nasty hackers who, by the way, might be working with the Russian government. Biden was "briefed" on the situation Saturday morning. By late Monday, more than one in 20 gas stations in Virginia was out of fuel. Tuesday, governors throughout the Southeast were declaring states of emergency, and the Biden administration was begging drivers not to hoard gasoline. Meantime, Palestinians had begun violently clashing with Israeli police at the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, an escalation of tensions that had been simmering and occasionally boiling over for weeks. Hamas began launching rocket attacks into Israel, which responded by bombing Gaza. Back in Washington, Republicans began accusing Biden of tilting too far toward the Palestinians while failing to at least verbally sock it to Hamas. From the other side, leftists in his own party hit the White House for supposedly coddling Israel, with Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., accusing Biden of "enabling" Israel with foreign aid. By Tuesday, an echo of the violence had spread to the streets of New York, where there were dustups between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian supporters in front of the Israeli consulate. As new crises broke out all over the place, there were searing reminders that an old one was still festering. U.S. Customs and Border Protection revealed Tuesday that migrant encounters jumped yet again this past April: over 178,000 in all, nearly a tenfold increase from 2020 and still above levels seen in the 2019 surge at the Mexico border. In a heartbreaking scene, five unaccompanied migrant girls were found abandoned by a Texas farmer on his land. And reports emerged that border agents in Texas had seized $4.6 million in methamphetamine and cocaine, while a member of the National Guard had found an abandoned bag of "AK-47-style pistols" in the border region. TEXAS FARMER FINDS MIGRANT GIRLS ABANDONED NEAR BORDER WITHOUT FOOD, WATER: 'IT'S JUST GETTING WORSE' A new poll reminded the president that the border crisis was dragging him down, with only 43% of those surveyed approving of his immigration policy. In a bit of beguiling partisan moves that has befuddled many Americans, Senate Democrats pressed ahead Tuesday with their plans to overhaul the nation's election laws -- after many states, such as GOP-guided governments in Florida and Georgia, enacted different changes for their own constituents. Divisive racial undercurrents have developed amid all this, all on the watch of the so-called unity president. The ACLU quickly weighed in to tie new voting laws to race: "This terrible bill was drafted as a direct swipe at Georgians' participating in the Black Lives Matter protests who are asserting for their constitutional rights," Andrea Young, executive director of the ACLU of Georgia, said in a statement posted on the group's website. On the COVID-19 front, the once-unimpeachable Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was taking shots on the chin for some dubious recommendations to a populace ready to get back to normal. During a Capitol Hill hearing Tuesday, moderate GOP Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, lambasted CDC chief Rochelle Walensky on "conflicting" guidance related to school reopenings, wearing masks outside, and summer camps. "I used to have the utmost respect for the guidance from the CDC. I always considered the CDC to be the gold standard. I don't anymore," Collins said, giving examples where she said she thinks "the conflicting, confusing guidance from your agency has undermined public confidence and contradicts the scientific guidance of many experts." "Unnecessary barriers to reopening schools, exaggerating the risk of outdoor transmission and unworkable restrictions on summer camps," Collins continued. "Why does this matter? "It matters because it undermines public confidence in your recommendations, in the recommendations that do make sense, in the recommendations that Americans should be following." To add insult to the various injuries, there was even criticism of how Biden looked - at least when he was wearing a mask. White House COVID-19 coordinator Jeff Zients found himself under fire Sunday morning from CNN's Jake Tapper for Biden's apparent attachment to his mask. "Is it really necessary for a fully vaccinated person to wear a mask at a limited indoor gathering if everyone there is vaccinated?" Tapper wanted to know. "Why does President Biden in a room full of vaccinated journalists, everybody in that room vaccinated, why does he need to wear a mask?"

OPEC cut the flow and the economy is recovering, so gas prices got higher. That explains that.
A cyber hack shut down a pipeline and cut supply. That explains that. Israel and Palestine have been fighting for generations. That explains that. Lumber production was cut during the pandemic and the mills are making the most of it. That explains that.

Battered Biden under siege as crises confound the White House
Remarkable 5 days of bad developments stretching from Israel to Mexican border, up East Coast via Colonial Pipeline By Keith Koffler National Security threats overwhelm Biden administration Former Assistant Secretary of State under President George W. Bush Robert Charles provides insight. Memo to President Biden: Life moves pretty fast, and now the world is on fire. Israel is erupting, Americans are utterly confused when masks should be worn for COVID-19 protection and then there are the agita-inducing long lines for gasoline. And that was just Tuesday. A lot has changed in a matter of days. Friday was supposed to be a glorious day for Biden. The latest employment numbers were set to be released, and economists were gushing that a million new jobs had likely been created in April by exuberant employers and their newly vaccinated workers. His team no doubt was prepared to unleash Biden to perform a little victory dance at the White House celebrating the stupendous number. But the show had to be hastily revamped when the actual tally came in nearly three-quarters-of-a-million jobs lower than expected; just 266,000 jobs created and unemployment unexpectedly rising to 6.1%. "You might think we should be disappointed," Biden said, which was indeed something people might think. But the American Rescue Plan he signed into law in March "was designed to help us over the course of a year - not 60 days," he said. Far from being a disappointment, a jobs report that included 734,000 jobs fewer than expected was good news. "Today, there is more evidence our economy is moving in the right direction," Biden said. "This is progress. This is a testament to our new strategy," he said. "We've got work to do, to state the obvious, we have work to do." You might think. The jobs figures were just the first in a series of out-of-nowhere body blows the president was to be pilloried with during a remarkable five days of bad developments that stretched from Israel to the Mexican border and up the East Coast via the Colonial Pipeline. After delivering a few remarks Friday, taking in the "Weekly Economic Briefing" and meeting with his "Jobs Cabinet," the president knocked off at 5:45 pm and headed for the peacefully wooded Catoctin Mountain Park, where the presidential refuge Camp David awaited in Maryland. He was ready for a rest, but the world wasn't ready to give him one. By Saturday morning, the Colonial Pipeline, which transports nearly half of the East Coast's fuel supplies up from Texas, had been turned off, the victim of a ransomware cyberattack by a group of nasty hackers who, by the way, might be working with the Russian government. Biden was "briefed" on the situation Saturday morning. By late Monday, more than one in 20 gas stations in Virginia was out of fuel. Tuesday, governors throughout the Southeast were declaring states of emergency, and the Biden administration was begging drivers not to hoard gasoline. Meantime, Palestinians had begun violently clashing with Israeli police at the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, an escalation of tensions that had been simmering and occasionally boiling over for weeks. Hamas began launching rocket attacks into Israel, which responded by bombing Gaza. Back in Washington, Republicans began accusing Biden of tilting too far toward the Palestinians while failing to at least verbally sock it to Hamas. From the other side, leftists in his own party hit the White House for supposedly coddling Israel, with Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., accusing Biden of "enabling" Israel with foreign aid. By Tuesday, an echo of the violence had spread to the streets of New York, where there were dustups between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian supporters in front of the Israeli consulate. As new crises broke out all over the place, there were searing reminders that an old one was still festering. U.S. Customs and Border Protection revealed Tuesday that migrant encounters jumped yet again this past April: over 178,000 in all, nearly a tenfold increase from 2020 and still above levels seen in the 2019 surge at the Mexico border. In a heartbreaking scene, five unaccompanied migrant girls were found abandoned by a Texas farmer on his land. And reports emerged that border agents in Texas had seized $4.6 million in methamphetamine and cocaine, while a member of the National Guard had found an abandoned bag of "AK-47-style pistols" in the border region. TEXAS FARMER FINDS MIGRANT GIRLS ABANDONED NEAR BORDER WITHOUT FOOD, WATER: 'IT'S JUST GETTING WORSE' A new poll reminded the president that the border crisis was dragging him down, with only 43% of those surveyed approving of his immigration policy. In a bit of beguiling partisan moves that has befuddled many Americans, Senate Democrats pressed ahead Tuesday with their plans to overhaul the nation's election laws -- after many states, such as GOP-guided governments in Florida and Georgia, enacted different changes for their own constituents. Divisive racial undercurrents have developed amid all this, all on the watch of the so-called unity president. The ACLU quickly weighed in to tie new voting laws to race: "This terrible bill was drafted as a direct swipe at Georgians' participating in the Black Lives Matter protests who are asserting for their constitutional rights," Andrea Young, executive director of the ACLU of Georgia, said in a statement posted on the group's website. On the COVID-19 front, the once-unimpeachable Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was taking shots on the chin for some dubious recommendations to a populace ready to get back to normal. During a Capitol Hill hearing Tuesday, moderate GOP Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, lambasted CDC chief Rochelle Walensky on "conflicting" guidance related to school reopenings, wearing masks outside, and summer camps. "I used to have the utmost respect for the guidance from the CDC. I always considered the CDC to be the gold standard. I don't anymore," Collins said, giving examples where she said she thinks "the conflicting, confusing guidance from your agency has undermined public confidence and contradicts the scientific guidance of many experts." "Unnecessary barriers to reopening schools, exaggerating the risk of outdoor transmission and unworkable restrictions on summer camps," Collins continued. "Why does this matter? "It matters because it undermines public confidence in your recommendations, in the recommendations that do make sense, in the recommendations that Americans should be following." To add insult to the various injuries, there was even criticism of how Biden looked - at least when he was wearing a mask. White House COVID-19 coordinator Jeff Zients found himself under fire Sunday morning from CNN's Jake Tapper for Biden's apparent attachment to his mask. "Is it really necessary for a fully vaccinated person to wear a mask at a limited indoor gathering if everyone there is vaccinated?" Tapper wanted to know. "Why does President Biden in a room full of vaccinated journalists, everybody in that room vaccinated, why does he need to wear a mask?" Zients mumbled something about following CDC guidance and all Americans being eligible for shots. By Tuesday, Biden was hearing from Utah Republican Gov. Spencer Cox that fully vaccinated people should start acting like it so that Americans could see the benefits of the vaccine and go get their arms jabbed. "One area where we could use some help from the White House and others is modeling what a fully vaccinated person can do," Cox said. The beleaguered Biden could muster little in the way of a defense.

"It matters because it undermines public confidence in your recommendations, in the recommendations that do make sense, in the recommendations that Americans should be following." To add insult to the various injuries, there was even criticism of how Biden looked - at least when he was wearing a mask. White House COVID-19 coordinator Jeff Zients found himself under fire Sunday morning from CNN's Jake Tapper for Biden's apparent attachment to his mask. "Is it really necessary for a fully vaccinated person to wear a mask at a limited indoor gathering if everyone there is vaccinated?" Tapper wanted to know. "Why does President Biden in a room full of vaccinated journalists, everybody in that room vaccinated, why does he need to wear a mask?" Zients mumbled something about following CDC guidance and all Americans being eligible for shots. By Tuesday, Biden was hearing from Utah Republican Gov. Spencer Cox that fully vaccinated people should start acting like it so that Americans could see the benefits of the vaccine and go get their arms jabbed. "One area where we could use some help from the White House and others is modeling what a fully vaccinated person can do," Cox said. The beleaguered Biden could muster little in the way of a defense. "That's a good point," he said. ------------------------- The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED. -BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is. -They are both card carrying narcissists. ^These are PROVED facts. |
