Joe Biden – ‘a certified nut’



Mark Levin is a scholar of American history, and according to him, Joe Biden is one of a kind.

Just not in a good way.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in American history,” he says, pointing to the current president. “[Joe Biden] is a certified nut. ... He’s like a mannequin dummy they keep pushing out.”

“What is upsetting and stunning is the extent to which his cabinet won't trigger the 25th Amendment,” which allows a president to be replaced by the vice president in the event he is deemed unfit to serve.

And we all know Biden is unfit to serve. His list of blunders grows longer by the day.

But radical politicians and the left-owned media are trying to sell the false narrative that Joe Biden is the picture of health.

That’s “why Merrick Garland would rather drop dead than release the audio of Biden's interview with Robert Hur,” who stated himself that “Biden’s memory had been ‘significantly limited,”’ says Levin.

But how can they keep up the pretense of Biden’s cognitive soundness when he does things like indicate "he was vice president during the COVID-19 pandemic, which started three years after he left office”?

According to the Washington Post, “It was one of the numerous flubs in the single speech that prompted the White House to make corrections to the official transcript.”

Further, “In January, he mixed up two of his Hispanic cabinet secretaries, Alejandro Mayorkas and Xavier Becerra.”

“During a February fundraising in New York, he recounted speaking to German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who died in 2017, at the 2021 Group of Seven meeting.”

“That same month at a different fundraiser, he said that during the 2021 G7 Summit, he'd spoken to former French President François Mitterrand, who died in 1996.”

“Here's my question,” says Levin. “Does he eat his oatmeal on his own, or does the wife have to feed it to him?”

Researchers blame explosion of of cancer cases among younger people on 'accelerated aging'



Americans are increasingly suffering cancer at younger ages.

The journal Nature noted last month that the number of early-onset cancer cases will increase by roughly 30% between 2019 and 2030. Additionally, colorectal cancer, which historically has affected geriatric men, is now the leading cause of cancer death among men under 50 and is now the second-leading cause of cancer death among young women. Uterine cancer has increase by 2% every year for the past three decades. Early-onset breast cancer has reportedly jumped by nearly 4% annually between 2016 and 2019.

"If it had been a single smoking gun, our studies would have at least pointed to one factor," said Sonia Kupfer, a gastroenterologist at the University of Chicago. "But it doesn't seem to be that — it seems to be a combination of many different factors."

Various possible factors have been considered, including rising rates of obesity; dietary changes and corresponding alterations to gut bacteria; sleep deprivation; increased alcohol consumption; and vaccines.

A study presented over the weekend at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting in San Diego suggested that the incredible spike in cancer among younger adults in the U.S. may be the result of "accelerated aging."

"We all know cancer is anaging disease. However, it is really coming to a younger population. So whether we can use the well-developed concept of biological aging to apply that to the younger generation is a really untouched area," Dr. Yin Cao, an associate professor of surgery at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and senior author of the research, told CNN.

Chronological age refers to the period of time an individual has been alive. Biological age, also known as physiological age, refers to the condition of a person's body and the state of his genetic material. A chronologically younger person who vapes, eats too much, doesn't get enough sleep, and/or is genetically predisposed to various diseases could, accordingly, find himself biologically older than someone who has seen many more sunsets.

While cancer has long disproportionately affected chronologically older people, Cao and his fellow researchers have come to suspect that the spike in cases of early-onset solid tumors among younger Americans may be the result of increased biological age, characterized by "accelerated aging."

"Multiple cancer types are becoming increasingly common among younger adults in the United States and globally," Ruiyi Tian, a researcher from WUSM on Cao's team, told the American Association for Cancer Research, referencing increased incidents of cancer in adults under the age of 55. "Understanding the factors driving this increase will be key to improve the prevention or early detection of cancers in younger and future generations."

"Accumulating evidence suggests that the younger generations may be aging more swiftly than anticipated, likely due to earlier exposure to various risk factors and environmental insults," continued Tian. "However, the impact of accelerated aging on early-onset cancer development remains unclear."

Tian and her colleagues examined data from nearly 150,000 people in the U.K. Biobank database and calculated each individual's biological age using nine biomarkers found in the blood: albumin, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine, C-reactive protein, glucose, mean corpuscular volume, red cell distribution width, white blood cell count, and lymphocyte proportion.

According to the Cleveland Clinic:

  • Albumin is a protein in blood plasma. Low levels may indicate kidney disease, liver disease, inflammation, or infection. High levels may indicate dehydration or sever diarrhea.
  • Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme found throughout the human body. High levels of the enzyme indicate liver disease or possible bone disorders.
  • Creatinine is a natural chemical the body uses to energize muscles. High creatinine levels usually signify kidney damage.
  • C-reactive protein is released by the liver into the bloodstream in response to inflammation. Elevated levels suggest serious infections or inflammatory conditions.
  • Glucose or sugar is carried by the blood to all of the body's cells for energy. Elevated levels of glucose tend to indicate diabetes.
  • Mean corpuscular volume references the average size of a patient's red blood cells. Low MCV could be a sign of iron-deficiency anemia and other blood disorders. Alternatively, high MCV could mean a vitamin B12 deficiency, folate deficiency, liver disease, or bone marrow dysfunction.
  • Red cell distribution width is measured because inconsistency or high variation could be a signal of anemia.
  • White blood cells counts are executed to detect hidden infections, immune deficiencies, autoimmune disease, and other disorders. High and low counts alike indicate possibly serious problems.

The researchers, whose study was supported by the National Institutes of Health, identified individuals whose biological age — as indicated by these biomarkers — was higher than their chronological age as having accelerated aging.

According to Tian and her colleagues, individuals born in or after 1965 had a 17% higher likelihood of accelerated aging than those born born between 1950 and 1954. They further found that "each standard deviation increase in accelerated aging was associated with a 42% increased risk of early-onset lung cancer, a 22% increased risk of early-onset gastrointestinal cancer, a 36% increase risk of early-onset uterine cancer."

Tian speculated that certain cancer types had stronger associations with accelerated aging because of the natures of the affected tissues. The lungs, for instance, have a limited ability to regenerate, making them more vulnerable to biological aging.

"If validated, our findings suggest that interventions to slow biological aging could be a new avenue for cancer prevention, and screening efforts tailored to younger individuals with signs of accelerated aging could help detect cancers early," said Tian.

The American Cancer Society revealed in its latest annual report on cancer facts and trends that over 2 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed this year. In the previous three years, the estimate was 1.9 million.

Yale Medicine noted that younger adults are ostensibly the only age group with an increase in overall cancer incidence between 1995 and 2020.

This year, there are altogether expected to be 611,720 deaths from cancer in the United States.

Biden insists he wants to get Lincoln quote right — then suffers yet another malfunction



President Joe Biden made a point Friday of trying to get an Abraham Lincoln quote right when addressing members of the National Governors Association at the White House. Despite his best efforts and having the notes at his fingertips, the 81-year-old Democrat bungled his reference to the Republican president's first inaugural address, once again providing fodder to those critical of his advanced age.

Governors from over 40 states and territories joined Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and various cabinet members Friday for the NGA Winter Meeting. The NGA indicated that those assembled discussed possible bipartisan solutions to some of the various issues now confronting the American people, including housing affordability, AI risks, and disaster response.

After kicking off his brief remarks with an ethnic jibe, suggesting, "I may be the only Irishman you ever met that's never had a drink," Biden noted the portrait of President Abraham Lincoln looming behind him.

"You know, standing here in front of this portrait of the man behind me here, he — he said — and I want to make sure I get the quote exactly right," said Biden. "He said, ''The better angel.' He said, 'We must address the counsel — and adjust the better angels of our nature.'"

"And we do well to remember what else he said," continued Biden. "He said, 'We're not enemies, but we're friends.' This is the middle of, in the part of the Civil War. He said, 'We're not enemies, we're friends. We must not be enemies.'"

Contrary to Biden's suggestion, Lincoln issued his first inaugural address prior to the Civil War on March 4, 1861, stating, "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

After struggling with the quote, Biden quipped about his advanced age, saying, "Folks, I've been around, I know I don't look it, I've been around a long while."

Biden went on to bemoan the bitterness of politics, claiming that "politics has gotten too personally [sic]."

Just days earlier, the Democratic president indicated that he prefers his segregationist mentors to present-day House Republicans whom he stressed are worse than "real racists."

Biden completely malfunctions as he tries \u2014 and fails miserably \u2014 to read a quote from "the man behind me here"
— (@)

Unable to turn back time, Biden and his campaign have repeatedly appealed to humor in hopes of defusing concerns about his advanced age. Those concerns have not, however, gone away.

A Quinnipiac University poll revealed last week that 67% of likely voters think Biden is too old to effectively serve another term as president. By way of contrast, 57% of voters said that former President Donald Trump, only four years Biden's junior, is not too old to effectively serve again as president.

If re-elected, Biden would start his second term at the age of 82 and conclude his term at the age of 86 — roughly twelve years higher than the average life expectancy for the American man.

62% of voters told Quinnipiac that Biden lacks the necessary physical fitness; 64% said the Democratic president lacks the mental acuity.

Blaze News previously reported that Biden will not take a cognitive test as part of his upcoming annual physical.

Between the new polling numbers and Biden's latest gaffe, Democrats appear keen to once again paint a happy picture.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, 56, told NBC News' "Meet the Press" on Sunday that Biden's advanced age is an asset.

After suggesting Biden's first three years in office were a "master class," Newsom claimed that "it is because of his age that he's been so successful."

Newsom further credited "the wisdom and the character" that Biden has developed over his many decades in politics for the various policies Democrats have been able to drive through in Washington since 2021.

The California governor was not the only Democrat to defend Biden in the face of concerns over his age in recent days.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre blasted the New York Times Wednesday for daring to ask questions about Biden's mental and physical fitness.

During a press gaggle aboard Air Force One on Wednesday, Jean-Pierre quoted a leftist blogger's sense that "'the Times and other major media outlets ought to look in the mirror.'" Quoting Margaret Sullivan's Substack post further, Jean-Pierre added, "'Self-scrutiny and course correction are not among big media's core strengths.'"

Biden's anecdote about recent conversation with long-dead Frenchman feeds concern about his decrepitude



President Joe Biden managed to get a country, a name, and an era wrong all in one anecdote during a campaign event Sunday in Las Vegas, renewing concerns about his glaring decrepitude.

Speaking to a crowd of hospitality workers at the Pearson Community Center, Biden attempted to bring a rambling speech to a close with a denunciation of "MAGA Republicans," the suggestion that a failure to choose him in the general election might mean democracy's demise, and a personal anecdote.

"Look, Trump and his MAGA friends are dividing us, not uniting us; dragging us back to the past, not leading us to the future," said the 81-year-old Democrat.

After framing Republicans as the remaining obstacle to a brave new world, Biden dragged his audience back to an uncertain past, noting, "You know, right, right, right after I was elected, I went to what they call a G7 meeting. All the NATO leaders. And it was in — it was in the south of England. And I sat down and I said, 'America is back.'"

The 47th G7 Summit in Cornwall, England, was held just months before Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

"And Mitterrand, from Germany — I mean, from France, looked at me and said — said, 'You know, what — why — how long you back for?'" continued Biden, prompting nervous laughter from the audience.

"And I looked at him, and the — and the chancellor of Germany said, 'What would you say, Mr. President, if you picked up the paper tomorrow in the London Times, and London Times said, 'A thousand people break through the House of Commons, break down the doors, two bobbies are killed in order to stop the election of the prime minister. What would you say?'" said Biden.

Biden added, "And I never thought about it from that perspective. What would we say that happened in another democracy around the world? Well, the whole world watched — the whole world watched. And what's going on?"

The major issue with Biden's story was not that he misstated, corrected, then once again misstated François Mitterrand's nationality. The issue is that Mitterrand has been dead for 28 years.

Mitterrand was president of France, not the chancellor of Germany, from 1981 to 1995. He died on Jan. 8, 1996.

The White House indicated in the transcript for Biden's speech that by "Mitterrand," the geriatric president actually meant to say "Macron," as in Emmanuel Macron, the current president of France.

Biden tells crowd he recently met with Mitterrand, former French president who died in 1996.\n\n"Right after I was elected I went to a G7 meeting. I sat down and said, 'America is back!' and Mitterand from Germany -- I mean France, looked at me and said, 'how long you back for?'"
— (@)

Macron's is hardly the first name Biden has confused in recent years.

Prior to his election in 2020, Biden mistook his sister for his wife. On multiple occasions since, he has confused the names of various nations. In one instance last year, he confused Ukraine and Iraq twice in 24 hours.

Even when the right name is on his tongue, Biden often has trouble getting it out.

Within minutes of announcing a $40 billion investment in the Pacific Islands Infrastructure Initiative, which in fact was a $40 million dollar investment, Biden attempted in a September speech to tell the crowd what his team calls the initiative.

"We call it the PG, PI — anyway," said Biden, giving up on the remaining letters in the acronym. "It doesn't matter what we call it, but that's what it is."

Mitterrand is also not the first dead person Biden has apparently spoken to.

One month after eulogizing Indiana Rep. Jackie Walorski, who died in 2022, Biden called out to her during a speech in Washington, saying, "Representative Jackie — are you here? Where's Jackie? — I think she was going to be here."

Biden has also repeatedly told the apocryphal story of his conversation with an Amtrak conductor named Angelo Negri — a conversation that apparently took place a year after Negri died and over 20 years after the conductor's retirement.

Following Biden's latest blunder in Vegas, critics online questioned the president's remaining faculties.

Graham Allen of the "Dear America" podcast wrote, "This is not a healthy sign."

Another user on X wrote, "This is what perfectly healthy people do everybody, nothing to see here!"

The latest NBC News poll shows that 76% of voters, including a great many Democrats, are deeply concerned over Biden's age. After all, in addition to flubbing names, repeating himself, tripping over nothing, and relying on cue cards for instructions on how to execute basic functions, he continues to pad his record of days spent on vacation.

Biden, whose disapproval rating cracked 60% late last month, would be 86 at the end of his second term if granted one by voters.

‘The Golden Bachelor’ Is A Wholesome Hit Because It Celebrates Life’s ‘Second Act’

'The Golden Bachelor' may have cast beautiful old people, but that doesn't mean it shies away from showing the physical realities of aging.
