How Biden earns the title “elderly man struggling to maintain his faculties”

President Joe Biden gave a pretty cringeworthy performance at the CNN presidential town hall earlier this week. In addition to advocating for vaccines, gun control, and his spending agenda, he also seemed to drive another point home: that he is the last person who should be at the helm of this country.

His answers were downright disastrous in some cases. For instance, he was asked about when the vaccine would be widely available for young children.

This was his incoherent response: “And the question is whether or not we should be in a position where you are — why can’t the experts say we know that this virus is, in fact — is, is, is going to be — or, excuse me — we, we, we know why all the drugs approved are not temporarily approved, but permanently approved.”

It really doesn’t make much sense, right?

Biden’s gaffes are becoming more and more troubling, leading one pundit to describe him as “an elderly man struggling to maintain his faculties.”

I cannot help but agree.

Why Luke Combs is paying the funeral costs of these three men

Last weekend, three young men at a country music festival died after inhaling apparent carbon monoxide fumes, authorities say.

Now, one of the Faster Horses Festival headliners, Luke Combs, has footed the bill for the trio’s funeral costs. He offered no other comment on the tragedy.

Apparently, a portable (and possibly leaking) generator was situated too close to the trailer that carried 20-year-old Dawson Brown, 19-year-old Kole Sova, and 20-year-old Richie Mays Jr.

“It’s just a freak accident,” said Sova’s father. “For all those decisions to line up to get to this tragedy it just boggles your mind – of the thousands of generators and campers, they were the ones that it hit.”

Officials with the festival itself posted their condolences on Twitter: “All of us in the Faster Horses Festival Family are deeply saddened by the tragic losses this weekend as confirmed by the Lenawee County Sheriff’s Department. Our hearts are broken for the family, friends, and loved ones.”

How a football fight turns deadly outside this iconic restaurant

A 23-year-old is dead after getting into a fight outside a popular cheesesteak restaurant in the City of Brotherly love, officials say.

Apparently, a dispute over football quickly escalated and ended in gunfire before the men could order their food at Pat’s King of Steaks.

“They were arguing and it turned into a fight,” said the restaurant’s general manager. “One guy grabbed the other guy and got him in a grip, and the other guy pulled out a gun and shot him in the torso. It was one shot. The cops came right away.”

The suspect was apprehended at Independence Hall, while the victim died of his wound in a nearby hospital.

“My employees are pretty shaken up,” the owner said.

Apparently, the restaurant was closed for only a few hours as authorities investigated.

Is the White House going to force Americans to mask up once again?

Will the White House soon push Americans to mask up, regardless of whether or not they are fully vaccinated? Some sources indicate that officials are at least in discussions to determine whether this may be necessary.

Apparently, officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are involved in these talks. The Biden administration has insisted that they are awaiting additional guidance from the CDC before they alter their messaging.

“At the White House, we follow the guidance and advice of health and medical experts,” said assistant press secretary Kevin Munoz. “Public health guidance is made by the CDC, and they continue to recommend that fully vaccinated individuals do not wear a mask. If you are not vaccinated, you should be wearing a mask.”

How might things change, and how would those potential updates ruin President Joe Biden’s narrative that the virus is going away?

Why did U.S. jobless claims spike unexpectedly last week?

This morning the Labor Department reported its latest look at unemployment claims, which rose unexpectedly and sent stock futures spiraling downward.

According to the report, 419,000 Americans filed for unemployment insurance last week. Economists had anticipated significantly fewer claims — about 350,000. Analysts had expected the data to reflect the lowest number of assistance requests since the pandemic began.

The previously reported period reflected about 368,000 claims.

This news coincides with mounting cases of the delta virus variant that is spiking hospitalizations and fear that the world could be in for another wave yet.

Still, there are reasons to remain optimistic about the continued economic recovery.

A 21-year-old is charged for planning a mass shooting of sorority women

A man who called himself an “incel” — or “involuntary celibate” — had been planning a mass shooting at an Ohio University that targeted sorority women, officials say.

According to a statement released by the Department of Justice: “The incel movement is an online community of predominantly men who harbor anger towards women. Incels seek to commit violence in support of their belief that women unjustly deny them sexual or romantic attention to which they believe they are entitled.”

Investigators determined that the suspect, 21-year-old Tres Genco, had written a manifesto that detailed his “hatred, jealousy and revenge.” He’d apparently planned to kill “3,000 people.”

He’d also possessed a machine gun illegally, officials say. What else do we know about this case right now?

How Tom Brady just insulted millions of Americans while at the White House

So much for a nationwide pastime. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback seems pretty committed to using football as yet another way to divide the country.

Tom Brady, who visited the White House Tuesday to celebrate another Super Bowl victory, used the opportunity as a way to mock millions of Americans. He took jabs at those of us who continue to doubt President Joe Biden’s path to “victory” in 2020. Many of us rightly believe that last year’s election was rigged, and Brady seemed to enjoy making fun of that fact.

“Not a lot of people, you know, think that we could’ve won,” he said. “In fact, I think about 40 percent of the people still don’t think we won.”

For the record, Brady, it’s a lot more than 40%.

As if that weren’t bad enough, he also joked about other concerns Americans have about the current president — namely, his cognitive decline.

Why is it so challenging for athletes to stick to what they do best? Why bring politics into a sport that is supposed to bring Americans together?

This father and son are killed in a tragic barn collapse

Less than 24 hours after its installation, a barn collapsed in Iowa, killing 40-year-old Andy Kaufman and his nine-year-old son, Beckett. The structure had been sitting on a trailer before it was moved to a concrete pad, a neighbor said. Kaufman would have taught his five children about responsibility as they cared for the animals that would have been housed there.

“What everybody needs to know is that Andy was so overly cautious with anything with his kids,” Trey Nuss said. “There’s no way if there was any danger that Andy saw that he would have had his kids anywhere near it.”

He added: “[Kaufman] liked the hobby farming, if you want to call it that. The biggest reason he was doing all of it was for the kids.”

After the tragedy last week, the community has come out in droves to support Kaufman’s wife, Brook, and their four other kids.

A GoFundMe account has also been set up to help the family.
