The Reality Behind Biden's 'Aggressive'
Travel Schedule
Posted By: Dreadnought, 2/8/2024 7:09:02 PM
As it becomes more and more evident that President Joe Biden is undergoing significant cognitive decline, his staff has been working to find ways to combat that narrative. The latest person charged with the unenviable task of pushing that sort of message is Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates. This week he told Politico that Biden is obviously still at the top of his game and as evidence pointed to the President's "aggressive" travel schedule. He even attempted to claim that Biden's travel schedule exceeds that of Donald Trump. The Washington Free Beacon decided to do some fact-checking of this astonishing claim and the results

Friday saw the first White House press briefing after President Biden’s embarrassing and disastrous press conference to address his mental acuity following a special counsel report that questioned it. While some questions posed a challenge for White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and White House Counsel Office Spokesman Ian Sams, others were more interested in how the White House was going to rehabilitate the public’s perception of Biden; one even tried to give them an easy out to explain away his cognitive decline. After a few questions about the report Re. the classified documents in Biden’s garage, NBC senior White House correspondent

Democratic strategist Paul Begala said Friday on CNN’s “News Central” that President Joe Biden’s press conference addressing the report from Special Counsel Robert Hur was “terrible.”
Host John Berman said, “How much democratic bedwetting do you think there will be?”
Begala said, “Look, I’m a Biden supporter. And I slept like a baby last night. I woke up every two hours crying and wet the bed. This is terrible for Democrats, and anybody with a functioning brain knows that.”
He added, “But here’s what you do. Instead of calling a press and saying, ‘I really am sharp,’ you attack the other guy. You know, Joe Biden gave the strategy in 2012.

The special counsel report which cleared Biden legally has become a loose grenade for his campaign politically. Now everyone is talking about the one thing the Biden campaign didn't want them talking about: Biden's age and mental fitness.
As Karen pointed out this morning, Biden has already made his first post-report gaffe, mixing up the president of Egypt with the president of Mexico. This was meant to reassure us? So today there are two types of Democratic operatives being quoted in news stories the first are those like David Axelrod who've been warning about this problem for some time.
“Fair or not, you can’t unring the bell,” said David Axelrod,

Mike Roman, a former Trump campaign official and co-defendant in the Georgia election-interference case, accused Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade of lying about when their romantic relationship started.
In a 122-page motion filed Friday night, Roman’s attorney wrote that Wade’s former law partner, Terrence Bradley, will soon testify that the pair’s relationship started before Willis appointed Wade to the state case involving former president Donald Trump and 18 other co-defendants, or before she even became district attorney. If true, the testimony is said to challenge the Georgia prosecutors’ previous claims that they started dating after Wade was already named to the case.

President Joe Biden held a press conference on Thursday night to do damage control over special counsel Robert Hur’s report over Biden’s handling of classified documents. However, the presser was such a disaster that it unquestionably caused more damage than it controlled. It was a public relations nightmare for Biden, who came off as angry, bitter, confused, uninformed, and incompetent. Had it been former President Donald Trump instead of Biden who spoke last night, Democrats would claim he’s unfit for office.
But Democrats don’t hold Biden to the same standards they held Trump. Biden can spread misinformation, be ineffective, sow the seeds of discord, cause division, and fuel
It's long past time for Congress to act to investigate the arguable incapacitation of the president.
For the past three years, Americans knew what Democrats refused to admit -- that Joe Biden had entered a cognitive decline that rendered him unfit for office. Democrats and the media insisted that Biden still had energy and vigor, even while every public appearance added evidence to the contrary.
Voters had to rely on their own eyes to reach their conclusions that Biden's aphasiac mumbling, stiffness, and repeatedly false recollections indicated that Biden was clearly unfit for office. In poll after poll, majorities of respondents complain that Biden is too old
Joe Biden, senior aides and political observers strongly criticised the special counsel, Robert Hur, for extensively discussing the president’s age and allegedly fading memory in his report on Biden’s retention of classified information from his time as a senator and as vice-president – which did not produce an indictment.
Hur, who Donald Trump appointed US attorney for Maryland, “could not refrain from investigative excess”, said Bob Bauer, Biden’s personal counsel.
Though this was “perhaps unsurprising given the intense pressures of the current political environment”, Bauer added, the final report “flouts Department [of Justice] regulations and norms”.
Former Gov. Larry Hogan (R) announced on Friday that he’s launching a surprise bid for the open Maryland Senate seat, despite speculation that he was considering a third-party presidential bid.
“We desperately need leaders willing to stand up to both parties — leaders that appreciate that no one of us has all the answers or all the power, because this is not just about the differences between the right and the left. This is about the difference between right and wrong,” Hogan said in an ad launching his Senate bid posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Hogan is planning to file paperwork ahead
Biden faces his ‘Comey moment’

“It felt like a Comey moment for me.”
That was the assessment of a top Biden campaign official watching special counsel Robert Hur’s report explode Thursday.
In July 2016, FBI Director James Comey ripped into Hillary Clinton for being “extremely careless” with classified material and noted that there was “evidence of potential violations” of the law — assessments that played into a narrative that helped tank her presidential campaign.
Then he delivered the actual news: “no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.” In a scathing report, the Justice Department’s inspector general later harshly criticized Comey for his actions.

TOKYO — Seiji Ozawa, the Japanese conductor who amazed audiences with the lithe physicality of his performances during three decades at the helm of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, has died, his management office said Friday. He was 88.
The internationally acclaimed maestro, with his trademark mop of salt-and-pepper hair, led the BSO from 1973 to 2002, longer than any other conductor in the orchestra’s history. From 2002 to 2010, he was the music director of the Vienna State Opera.
He died of heart failure Tuesday at his home in Tokyo, according to his office, Veroza Japan.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the Israel Defense Forces to devise plans to evacuate the civilian population of Rafah, a city on the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, ahead of an expected invasion.
The city is the site of the Rafah Border Crossing, the sole point of entry between Gaza and Egypt. The four Hamas battalions the IDF has not yet destroyed at this point in its counteroffensive in response to the October 7 attack are believed to be in the city, which Israel hit with air strikes Thursday night into Friday morning.

Joe Biden is seething.
Today's report into his handling of confidential documents he took when he was a senator and vice president ruled out criminal charges, but it has raised other serious questions.
It labelled Biden as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory".
After reading both the report and seeing the news coverage of it, the president knew he needed to counter the narrative.
So he decided to utilise the bully pulpit of the presidency and called a hastily arranged press conference at the White House.

Vice President Kamala Harris sharply attacked Special Counsel Robert Hur's report on President Biden's handling of classified documents, Friday, as "politically motivated" and "gratuitous, inaccurate and inappropriate." A reporter asked Harris in Washington if she thought Hur's report that recounted several memory lapses by the president was fair. Harris blasted Hur as being "wrong on the facts" and thought he should have shown greater integrity.
During the Supreme Court oral arguments for Trump v. Anderson, Justice Brett Kavanaugh delivered a pointed reminder that former President Donald Trump has not been formally charged with insurrection.
Thursday’s proceedings centered on the contested application of the 14th Amendment’s prohibition against insurrectionists holding office, which has been invoked in an attempt to disqualify Trump from the 2024 primary ballot in Colorado.
The Colorado Supreme Court ruled in a 4-3 decision to keep President Trump off the 2024 Primary ballot in the state. The Colorado high court has been the only court to rule this way out of several decisions
Following Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report, which included stunning revelations of the deterioration of President Joe Biden’s mental state, Republican officials are calling to invoke the 25th Amendment. They state that “if ever there were a time to do so, now would be it,” and insist that if the president “is not competent to stand trial, then he is certainly not competent to lead the free world.”
While highlighting evidence of America’s oldest ever president “willfully” mishandling classified documents, Special Counsel Hur’s report details Biden’s significant cognitive decline — perhaps more politically damning than his handling of classified materials.
Joe Biden, senior aides and political observers strongly criticised the special counsel, Robert Hur, for extensively discussing the president’s age and allegedly fading memory in his report on Biden’s retention of classified information from his time as a senator and as vice-president – which did not produce an indictment.

Joe Biden, even though he did take and secrete away secret documents and such, will not be charged with any crime related to what are acts quite similar to those for which Donald Trump was charged with crimes.
In his report explaining his decision, Special Counsel Robert Hur said today that Biden was too far removed from reality for a jury to convict him of a crime.
In other words, Biden did it, Biden broke the law, but he is too mentally deficient for anyone to believe he either really did it on purpose or, after the fact, could
Medical professionals have stepped up calls for President Biden to take a mental competency test after Thursday’s blistering report from special counsel Robert Hur revealed the 81-year-old can’t remember basic facts about his own life and career.
The Hur report, released Thursday, assessed Biden as too senile to be prosecuted over his wrongful retention of classified documents and noted the commander-in-chief “did not remember when he was vice president” and “did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died” over two days of interviews in October.

You know, I think they are. I've even made a handshake bet that they will. But I'll confess to questioning my end of that wager more than ever, after the events of Thursday afternoon and evening. Even before the Special Counsel report arrived, the president had been spending the week mistaking European political leaders for their deceased predecessors. Then the report detonated. It announced that the DOJ would not pursue charges against Joe Biden over his unlawful conduct, despite evidence that he "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency," including items that were marked highly classified.
New York, New York – A manhunt is underway for a teenage migrant shoplifter from Colombia who shot and gravely wounded a tourist before aiming at law enforcement.
ABC News reported that at around 7:15 P.M. Thursday, three individuals entered JD Sports and started stealing items on the second floor. Two of the three suspects, including a teen who lives at a nearby migrant shelter, were later confronted by a female security guard in the lobby.
Police say the security guard yanked a bag of stolen merchandise from one of the suspects who was wearing all white at the time.
Authorities on Friday nabbed a 15-year-old migrant suspected of shooting a tourist and firing at cops in Times Square, law enforcement sources said.
The US Marshals Fugitive Recovery Task Force took the Venezuelan teen into custody in Yonkers at around 3:30 p.m., according to the sources.
It came just moments after NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell identified Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa as the “armed and dangerous” person of interest in connection with the chaotic incident at the Crossroads of the World Thursday night.
He arrived in New York from Venezuela in September and has been staying at a temporary shelter at the Stratford Hotel on West 70th Street, Chell said.

Democrat insiders say it is now 'panic time' after a Justice Department report concluded Joe Biden has 'diminished faculties' and is an 'elderly man with a poor memory'.
Increasingly, behind the scenes, a plan is being considered to remove the 81-year-old president as the Democrat nominee at the party's convention in Chicago in August.
The leading candidates to replace him include California Governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
