Blow the Truth

Joe Biden At least 61 members of Congress submitted a letter to the US president expressing concern with his mental state. US President Joe Biden must pass a cognitive exam or abandon the 2024 presidential race , 61 Republican members of the House of Representatives demanded on Thursday in an open letter to the commander-in-chief.   “The United States’ national security relies on a cognitively sound Commander in Chief , and it is evident that you do not fit that bill,”  the letter stated, citing the concerns of the American public – 57% of voters don’t think Biden is  “mentally fit”  to lead the country, according to one recent poll – and the president’s own refusal to address those concerns in the first three years of his term.  Led by Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson , a former White House doctor, the letter’s signatories urged Biden to  “submit to a clinically validated cognitive screening assessment and make those results available to the public”  or re...

  US President Joe Biden US President Joe Biden has formally announced his 2024 re-election bid , a move that had been widely expected for months. The announcement comes despite opinion polls showing that most voters, including a majority of fellow Democrats, did not want the 80-year-old to seek a second term. In a video statement released on Tuesday, Biden touted his new campaign as a fight for democracy in the US. He said his pledge to fight “ for the soul of America ,” which was the core message of his 2020 run, remains valid. “ The question we are facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom. More rights or fewer ,” Biden said in the address. “ I know what I want the answer to be and I think you do too. This is not a time to be complacent. That’s why I’m running for re-election .” The video comes exactly four years after the launch of Biden’s previous presidential campaign. Vice President Kamala Harris joins him on the ticket again. The annou...

  Joe Biden Surprise Visit, Meets President Zelensky As the world prepares to mark the one-year anniversary of Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, I am in Kyiv today to meet with President Zelenskyy and reaffirm our unwavering and unflagging commitment to Ukraine’s democracy, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. When Putin launched his invasion nearly one year ago, he thought Ukraine was weak and the West was divided. He thought he could outlast us. But he was dead wrong. Today, in Kyiv, I am meeting with President Zelenskyy and his team for an extended discussion on our support for Ukraine. I will announce another delivery of critical equipment, including artillery ammunition, anti-armour systems, and air surveillance radars to help protect the Ukrainian people from aerial bombardments. And I will share that later this week, we will announce additional sanctions against elites and companies that are trying to evade or backfill Russia’s war machine. Over the last year, the Unit...

Joe Biden Photo YouTube Joe Biden Inflation in America is continuing to come down, which is good news for families and businesses across the country. Today’s data confirm that annual inflation has fallen for seven straight months. Inflation for food at the grocery store came down again last month. Gas prices are down about $1.60 from their peak last year. And real wages for working Americans are up over the last seven months, delivering welcome breathing room for American families. We are seeing this progress even as unemployment remains at its lowest level since 1969 and job growth remains resilient.   There is still more work to do as we make this transition to more steady, stable growth, and there could be setbacks along the way. That is why my unwavering focus is on continuing to lower costs for families, rebuild our supply chains, and invest in America. Right now, because of the Inflation Reduction Act we passed last year, we are lowering prescription drug costs, health c...
