Photos: Look What Was Spotted in Joe Biden's Hands During His First Solo Press Conference

Photos: Look What Was Spotted in Joe Biden's Hands During His First Solo Press Conference: President Joe Biden thought he was showing his critics that he was a competent leader by conducting his first solo news conference — instead, he showed the world he needed crib sheets just to get through it. During Thursday’s news conference, the 78-year-old president shuffled through pre-printed cards, some with headings of key topics and relevant statistics and another with journalists’ headshots and identities, Fox News reported. The much-anticipated event came more than 60 days into his presidency — later than any president in a century — and was only for 25, hand-picked journalists asking a handful of questions. Still, Biden apparently couldn’t manage it without his cards to tell him what to say and who to call on. “President Biden leaned on detailed notes, photos of journalists at first formal news conference,” a user on Twitter said with a photo of one of the cards in Biden’s hand with the heading “Infrastructure” with statistics about the U.S. and subheadings about “China” and “Bridges.”

Accused Boulder gunman Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa was ‘laughing’ during massacre: report

Accused Boulder gunman Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa was ‘laughing’ during massacre: report

The accused gunman in Monday’s mass shooting in Boulder was “laughing” as he murdered 10 people and terrorized shoppers inside a King Soopers grocery store, police and a witness said. 

“We could hear a man chuckling,” shopper Angelina Romero-Chavez recalled hearing as she hid from the gunman while shots rang out around her. 

“Gunshots were close. We believe it was him chuckling,” the 23-year-old told the Denver Post.

Police also radioed: “This guy is laughing at us,” according to records reviewed by the Denver Post. 

The disturbing detail was revealed Saturday, five days after police say Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa carried out the massacre using an AR-556 rifle — and a day after officials said they have not determined a motive for the killings.

Biden delayed his first formal press conference for 64 days, prompting speculation about his mental faculties being in decline. Biden did not fumble; neither was he challenged by reporters. The result? Much ado about nothing.

The legend of the founding of the White House Press Corps holds that the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, was out wandering the White House grounds when he stumbled upon a group of reporters standing in the rain, waiting for their sources to feed them newsworthy information. Roosevelt invited them inside and took some questions. In the 100-plus years since, every one of the presidents that followed held a formal press conference shortly after taking office – an act of alleged transparency which became enshrined as de rigueur by the ever-changing ranks of the institution that has become the White House press corps.

Hours after President Biden was sworn in as the nation’s 46th commander in chief, Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, met with the press corps and pointedly announced that she and Biden wanted to bring “truth and transparency back to the briefing room.”

Racial segregation is mainstream again...being pushed-for by PROGRESSIVES

Racial segregation is mainstream again...being pushed-for by PROGRESSIVES

The woke believe that people of color should stick to their own to be safe from ‘white supremacy’ – but no matter the reasoning behind it, this is nothing but racist segregation.

In a recent interview, American actress Olivia Munn revealed that she believes white men directing “Black stories, Asian stories, Latinx stories” is tantamount to “systemic whitewashing.”

In regard to HBO’s new documentary on Tiger Woods, Munn lamented that the coverage was so negative because “it was told through the eyes of two men who do not know what it is like to live life in a Black man’s skin, or see the world through the eyes of an Asian man’s eyes.”

And echoing Munn’s belief that races should stick to their own, Columbia University also went viral this month for featuring different graduation ceremonies for a variety of distinct identity groups, such as separate ceremonies for “Black” or “Latinx” students. 

After receiving backlash online, the university clarified that attendance at these ceremonies was completely voluntary, and was in addition to, not instead of, the university-wide commencement. Officials insisted that “These events are important, intimate and welcoming spaces for students aligned with these groups to come together to celebrate their achievements, if they wish.”

The latest mass shootings in the US prove we must have an uncomfortable conversation about mental health – or more of us will die

The latest mass shootings in the US prove we must have an uncomfortable conversation about mental health – or more of us will die

In the wake of several tragedies within a short time span, too many people in power in the US want to talk about gun control – and too few are concerned with the real crux of the problem: spiraling mental health problems.

The human mind can be a very scary place. In the public health sector, it's hard to think of an area that has a worse stigma than mental illness. My belief, given what I've seen statistically and through personal experience, is that Americans have a cultural phobia about taking it seriously. Yet these mass shootings, along with the rise in suicides, make it obvious that something is being ignored here. Beyond that, the constant blaming of firearms is inane, because basic criminal psychology would tell you that it is the mind that makes the decision to use that tool.

Mental Health America’s recent report on the state of mental wellness in 2021 shows an increase in numbers across the board when it comes to psychiatric illness – 9.7% of young people now have severe depression, for example. From 2017 to 2018, 19% of all Americans had some form of mental illness, and in that same timeframe, the number of people who confessed to suicidal feelings had risen by almost half a million, to over 10 million. Yet, since 2011, almost a quarter of those suffering from mental ill health have not received any treatment, for one reason or another. And these are pre-Covid-19 numbers. The statistics in the same report conducted after the pandemic began are not good, showing a steady rise.
