Biden's FIRST PRESS CONFERENCE ( overview)

 

As Confused as Joe Biden was ,
his first press conference a big sleeper.
The Press was soft when they
should have been asking 
hard questions .

We knew this was going to happen , the first expected press conference . (1)>>I am starting to fee sorry for President Joe Biden . And of course, it's just sad to see the moments where his age betrays him. He's just too old for this and it makes me sad to see him trying to hold it together and put himself in all this stress when he should just be at home with his grandkids and his dogs.Interesting how the covid-19 Doom and Gloom messaging is now suddenly so hopeful. It's actually hard to say if he's taking credit for these things, which is kind of refreshing. Trump would certainly be taking too much credit  The recent press conference was nothing but a PR move because he was under pressure to have one.  (1.2)>>Stonewalled for 65 days by President Biden, reporters decided their first opportunity to question him should be used to let him monologue on his favorite topics. The  (2)>>boiling point was the Border Crisis .  (2.1)>>The Press threw soft balls at  Biden . Nobody ever claimed Biden was a great speaker. Biden seemed a bit confused , he was grilled about the crisis regarding the undocumented. We know Trump was always light on substance, but he would pull definitive statements from nowhere, blowing hot air. But Biden was supposed to be a "return to the science" kind of guy, having plans for everything. He mostly just made half-true statements.   It was obvious that he  had a problem on how to stop people from Central America from leaving , answering that question from a reporter why these people are coming he said "  (3)>> I am a nice guy that's why" .The border thing is confusing some reporters who didn't seem to get the memo.  Most of the press couldn’t even say President Donald Trump’s name. They called him “your predecessor.” One reporter, Yamiche Alcindor of PBS, asked a question about the border premised on the idea that “you’re a nice guy.” The questions for the president were meek and vague, failing to extract any specific information about policies or solutions to the myriad problems faced by the administration. The discussion of the border that dominated  (4)>>the press conference was pure malarkey. Biden took no responsibility, pretending it was a perennial problem. The other piece to that sentiment is that the media was so polite and easy on him, which is a very stark contrast to Trump. That might be the most disturbing part for me. It really shows that our press corps is not comprised of journalists at all. The natural order of politics is that politicians tout their successes as much as they can, and reporters remind them of their failures. Under Trump, we had extra inflated both sides of that. (5)>>Under Biden, we have "taking credit" reduced to almost reasonable levels, but the reporters aren't doing anything to press him on failures...I do believe that media bias became significantly more surfaced in contact with Trump. There was a level of exposure unrealized before. There was also a measure of the pugilism Trump brought to the media that also got countered with more pointed questioning. I see it as a mix of the bias of left leaning media, their relief at change in tone, and the interviewee not being hostel to them. President Biden should be getting and answering every tough question out there. (6)>>The White House muscled through the $1.9 trillion COVID-relief package with just Democratic support, though doing so required relying on a procedural maneuver called reconciliation, which allows the Senate to pass budget-related bills with a bare majority. Many of his remaining goals can’t pass that way, though. Outside of NBC's Kristen Welker and ABC's Cecilia Vega regarding the border crisis, reporters were largely hospitable as opposed to hostile, which was all the rage (so to speak) during press conferences under the previous administration. Overall, President Trump was interrupted 16 times during his first press conference in 2017, while Biden was interrupted only four times despite calling on far fewer reporters than his predecessor did in the same situation. There were other whoppers, per multiple fact-checks, but you get the idea: Biden was able to say whatever he wanted with almost no push back. 

THE QUESTION OF JOE BIDEN'S HEALTH.

Just where was the Secret Service 
when Pres. Biden almost 
fell ? This is vary strange 
my readers .

Here is a disturbing subject that many of us should have concerns , it might effect the future of this nation. ALL I CAN SAY we need to brace our selves for  (7)>>troubling news ahead. Not since the election.There should be some "concerns" about Joe Biden's health . FORGIVE ME HERE . President Joe Biden is suffering , it pains me that he's a laughing stock for media punches . His falling twice while going up the stairs while trying to get on board Air Force One is troubling . On March 19, 2021, a video went viral on social media that supposedly showed U.S. President Joe Biden slipping and falling while ascending the stairs of Air Force One. Believe me this video of Biden falling is disturbing  on a number of factors . First notice , he is not supposed to be alone ,  (8)>>OK  where are the Secret Service ? walking with him up those stairs ? Why didn't those young guards run up and help him the first , second and third time he stumbled? President Biden could have sustained a serious injury . No body in the MSM media is making mention of this . Biden eventually got up and made the rest of the journey to the cabin, but are we all going to pretend that we weren’t feeling the urge to rush to his side like a Boy Scout offering his arm to an elderly woman crossing the street? That elderly man could have really hurt himself if he had rolled down. Second, Hear me out. How does expressing a valid concern for the mental and physical health of POTUS make someone a Trump supporter?Biden's gaffes are far too common and more recurrent than ever. Remember his saying  (9)>>"President Kamala"? It's obvious in Biden's Press conference  that his mental decline , his own strain , tiredness , stamina are worrisome .Is no one in the major news media concerned?It would be easier to overlook the incident if it didn’t come in addition to a slew of other episodes with Biden. But the seriousness of Biden's health could create a national emergency. I think we have to PREPARE . Hopefully we should be praying for him regardless of his health, even if you did not vote for the man  . Our nation is at stake , but we should hope for at least the better for our country .

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

(1)>>I am starting to fee sorry for President Joe Biden .The man is cognitively impaired. Anyway you parse it, from his frequent forgetfulness, his slurred words, his glassy stare, his need for binders and aides by his side to remind him what he’s talking about. He has some form of dementia. As of last week, Biden had publicly spoken about 116,000 words and spent 12 hours on camera as president, Bill Frischling, the founder of Factba.se, a data-analytics firm, told. I'm not on the 'dementia bandwagon, but his speeches are cringeworthy. I understand he has had issues with that his whole life, so not sure he can improve much at this point. At least there is someone humble in office. Biden: "I came to the Senate 120 years ago" I think it's more likely that he was just reading his script, got to the joke someone wrote for him, but didn't realise it was a joke and just kept reading on along his script.(1.2)>>Stonewalled for 65 days by President Biden.  The fact there there had not been a press conference for 65 days can be so unusual. Biden’s first official press conference, that a president has avoided the media event for that long. While many saw it as a solid first press conference, just as many were as quick to call out the president, who at times seemed to stumble and loose his train of thought. Biden’s press conference did not feature a single question about the Covid-19 pandemic. Biden has shown no such willingness to be accessible, preferring to take one or maybe two shouted questions at his public events. The seven-week stretch is the longest a new president has gone without meeting the press in the past 100 years, dating to when Calvin Coolidge, a man known as “Silent Cal,” was president, according to research by the American Presidency Project at the University of California at Santa Barbara.  (2)>>boiling point was the Border Crisis .Now there's 17,000 children in custody and some for more than 10 days, 72 hrs is the max hold time by law. One facility is at 1600% capacity. The children get 1 shower a week and definitely a Covid Super Spreader since 10% test positive. 5,000 illegals a day are coming that will increase as the weather gets better. Where is Congress on an immigration policy that will address the current crisis? What is the right way to handle what’s happening at the border? And can anything be done about what’s behind the surge of people migrating to the U.S.?From its earliest weeks in office, the Biden administration has been playing catch up, scrambling to stem a growing immigration crisis on the US southern border, where there are now more than 14,000 unaccompanied children in US custody, officials say.Republicans have assailed Biden's handling of the situation, blaming his early actions to overturn some of the Trump administration's draconian border enforcement policies for inducing what is shaping up to be a historic surge of migrants to the border."These are all self-inflicted wounds," a Homeland Security official said.(2.1)>>The Press threw soft balls at  Biden . Trump has called President Joe Biden's press conference on Thursday "very sad" and accused the media of fielding softball questions at his successor.The former president told Fox News' The Ingraham Angle that reporters had asked "strange questions" and described the briefing as "ridiculous." He claimed to have never seen anything like it during his time in office.The media briefing was Biden's first since taking office 65 days earlier and was restricted to just 25 reporters. (3)>>"  I am a nice guy that's why".  Biden dismissed as fallacy the notion that migrants are pouring toward our southern border from Mexico and Central America because they heard he is “a nice guy” compared to Trump. “I guess I should be flattered,” he said, but seasonal imperatives are at work; traveling in winter is safer than in summer.Biden pushed back against claims his “nice guy” approach to immigration is bringing migrants to the southern border, saying economic drivers and seasonal patterns are the main drivers. "I'd like to think it's because I'm a nice guy, but it's not," Biden said at his first press conference as president.“The truth of the matter is, nothing has changed,” he said.  (4)>>the press conference was pure malarkey. Or you can look up the difference in NYT headlines when Biden fell on the stairs vs. when Trump walked slow down a ramp. CNN literally ran a chiron about "Is Trump afraid of stairs?" You can look at headline differences when Trump and Biden used the exact same migrant overflow facilities. Or should I call it kids in cages? Dude, this isn't a "bad relationship" with the press. This is a result of the press corps being overwhelmingly Democrat and progressive. (5)>>Under Biden, we have "taking credit". In his first prime-time address  night, Biden praised his administration for taking a “war footing” when it comes to combating the virus, assuring that every American will be eligible for a vaccine starting May 1.Pundits like Fox News host Sean Hannity took aim at Biden for trying “to take credit for everything that Donald Trump did on COVID-19,” noting that three vaccines were already in development by the time Biden took office. “There were already a million vaccines being administered into people’s arms every single day when Biden was sworn in, 36 million doses had already been distributed,” Hannity said. Mr. Biden is ordering all states to make all adults eligible for COVID-19 vaccines by May 1, framing it as a prelude to Independence Day soirees that will provide a sense of normalcy. It is a notable shift, in that he's moving beyond gripes about his predecessor and placing bets — President Joe Biden and his top aides have declined to give the Trump administration credit on the nation's COVID-19 vaccine rollout while relying heavily on a system established by their predecessors. The public slight appears to have irked the former president, along with his retired aides who told ABC News they are baffled at the political jabs in what was supposed to be a nonpartisan effort to vaccinate America. (6)>>The White House muscled through the $1.9 trillion COVID-relief package .  In a recent analysis, was found that the $1.9 trillion plan could overshoot the economic output gap two or three times over. We recently suggested principles that the next COVID package should be tailored to the needs of the economy, targeted thoughtfully, and not cut off too early. It makes little sense to pass a large relief package and still leave a payment cliff for unemployed workers in August. The Senate approved the relief plan on Saturday after roughly 24 hours of debate. The bill includes $1,400 stimulus checks for millions of Americans, as well as an additional $300-per-week in unemployment payments until early September.Democrats voted to adopt the bill without any Republican support after a more than 24-hour, around-the-clock session, though it will now fall to the House to consider the sweeping package once again before it can become law and any of the aid can be dispersed.The Senate’s passage of the measure marked an early win for Biden and his congressional Democratic allies, who had promised in the wake of the 2020 presidential election to authorize a robust package of new coronavirus aid – including another round of one-time checks for families – as one of their first acts.(7)>>troubling news ahead. Not since the election.  I'm not saying the election was a big cheat, but all this shit, him not having press conferences or only letting in handpicked reporters, wire fences still up, still having troops holed up; it doesn't look good. Let's say it was a super tight election, I don't think it would still look like this. And we still haven't seen the source code for the voting machines. Our entire system of voting has been accused of being hacked, and they still won't release the source code. I guess we'll just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best next election.At 78, he is older even than the older president to leave office, Ronald Reagan, who was still 77 (for a few days) at the end of his second term. That is almost two years older than the current life expectancy for a US-born male, which is 76.3 years (the lowest of all wealthy countries) and 14 years older than the male life expectancy of an American man born in 1942.Biden is healthy and vaccinated but given his age, it’s responsible to ask what happens if he gets ill while in office or, worse, dies. (8)>>OK  where are the Secret Service ?👉Keeping President  Joe Biden safe is the job of the United States Secret Service. The slip up on the stairs with NO Service agents I think is disturbing . Biden could have died right there . the agency responsible for protecting him and his immediate family no matter where they are in the world. Secret Service agents will have planned security arrangements down to the last detail, even to ensuring there are adequate supplies of blood on hand for the president in case something goes wrong. The roads the president will use will have been carefully sanitized, emergency escape routes planned, threat scenarios rehearsed: nothing is left to chance. The Secret Service also has to guard those who must be with the president at all times, among them, a military aide carrying the 20-kilogram, Zero Halliburton metal briefcase, clad in a black leather jacket, which carries the launch codes for the United States’ nuclear missiles. An armed Secret Service agent even accompanies the president to the restroom, or into any other situation where he might want a little bit of privacy, and, by law. (9)>>"President Kamala"?  The worst case scenario is Kamala becomes President . While Joe Biden has a lot of  political, governmental experience . Kamala has ZERO , she is a airhead of sorts , its hard to take her serious at times . Here career as a woman was least qualified for the VP position among the women Democrats that Biden could have picked over her.  Now here is things get weird. I think Joe picked Kamala because maybe she fit the character of Kamala Khan, a.k.a. Ms. Marvel, a young woman destined to become President of the United States.. ??? If any superhero was destined for political office, it's Kamala Khan. The idea of Kamala taking political office, then, seems entirely natural right ???. [ see this eerie resemblance to the Real Kamala Harris  👉👉 https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Kamala_Khan_(Earth-616) ] NOW If Vice President Harris is saying the same things Senator Harris said back when she was representing California, then that last person in the room must be disagreeing with Biden a lot lately. Or should be, if she’s holding true to her past positions. No evidence exists of such a plan. But day after day, his backers portray Harris, the first woman of color to run on a major party’s presidential ticket, as a dangerous radical ready to benefit from a Nancy Pelosi plot to sideline Bid. “Pelosi’s plan: Remove Biden if Elected and Install Kamala,”👉 says a  video 👈from the Trump campaign. “Pelosi’s plan: Help Kamala Remove Biden from office.”  But what her presidency will look like has been a matter of some debate. Some have spent time perseverating over Harris’ past, too, which includes actions in the criminal justice arena that make some progressives deeply uncomfortable. Many of those same people fear that a future under Senator Harris will be a conservative future.— Instead of what he can do to change the future, and the one choice he has made has been monumentally important.
