President Joe Biden, 79, was seen struggling to get off stage after a speech in Pittsburgh on Thursday
After finishing his speech, Biden was seen turning toward his right to exit the stage when he stopped to talk to his team, before exiting on the left
He stopped in Pittsburgh to review the progress on the $25.3million reconstruction of the Fern Hollow Bridge
The bridge collapsed in January, injuring 10 and swallowing several cars. It is expected to be finished by the end of the year
This is one moment of many awkward encounters Biden has had in the past few months
In September, he was seen wandering about the UN stage after a speech and in August, he struggled to put on his coat and his wife had to help him
He does that jaunty little two-step once he figures out which way to go as if that makes up for his pathetic confused wandering just before The Biden Shuffle

Imagine the mainstream media reaction if Trump was doing this. They'd be going wild and calling for 25th Amendment removal immediately. The FBI would start harassing cabinet members, trying to figure out why Putin is paying them to keep Biden in.
But no, he's a Democrat so our own media won't say shit. Why would they attack their own side?

[FoxNews] Dr. Marty Makary warns recommending the COVID-19 vaccine for children could shake public trust in vaccines.
Fox News contributor and medical professor at Johns Hopkins University Dr. Marty Makary argues the CDC will reverse years of public trust in vaccines by recommending a vaccine without publicizing the clinical trial data.
The CDC's decision to add the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of recommended childhood vaccines without publicizing clinical trial data could cause "unintended harm," Johns Hopkins School of Medicine professor Dr. Marty Makary said Thursday, warning that the move will further fuel vaccine hesitancy surrounding childhood immunizations.
The CDC's advisory committee on Immunization Practices voted unanimously Thursday to approve the agency's new recommended immunization schedules for adults and children for 2023, which includes vaccination for COVID-19 for children as early as 6 months old.
The addition of the COVID vaccine marks the first of its kind to be added to the CDC's list without offering clinical data to support its benefit, Makary told "America Reports." While the vote does not serve as official policy, the CDC's recommendations do have a wide influence on how states decide which vaccinations to require for children to attend school, the Fox News medical contributor said.
"We saw the same thing with school policy. The CDC argued they did not close schools, they just sent out the guidance. But local authorities will often blindly follow whatever the CDC does and if the CDC is truly putting this on the vaccination schedule as they just voted to do, this will be the first-ever vaccine where there is no evidence to show a reduction in disease in the community," Makary told Fox News host John Roberts.
Makary said the decision to recommend the COVID vaccine as a requirement for young children without proving clinical benefit could shake public confidence in childhood vaccines overall, which have become routine for many families.
"It threatens the credibility of MMR and polio and many other vaccines for which it has taken 50 years to build public trust," he warned.
"Right now, parents are asking where is the clinical data to support this vaccine in young healthy children. For the new omicron vaccine, which is the current vaccine that is being recommended, the human trials were never made public. Instead, Pfizer and Moderna gave a top-line announcement in a press release, the underlying data is top secret," Makary explained.
"Shame on them," he continued, calling out FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf, White House COVID response coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha and CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky.
"That data should be public information. Why is it top secret?" Makary asked. "We believe it's because it’s similar to the baby vaccine data, which was not favorable, it showed no clinical benefit. So, 94% of Americans have said no to this new omicron vaccine because the clinical trial data is not public."
"There will be unintended harm from a broad adoption without showing benefit," he added.
Steven A. Sund's 'Courage Under Fire: Under Siege and Outnumbered 58 to 1 on January 6' will come out January 3 - just shy of the 2-year anniversary of the riot
The former chief of the U.S. Capitol Police resigned under pressure after Jan 6
Nancy Pelosi called for the resignation of Sund, who took the job in June 2019
He later testified he hadn't seen an FBI field report warning of potential violence
Sund said the overrunning of the U.S. Capitol was a result of widespread failures

minute-by-minute account of the attack on the US Capitol, which was valiantly defended in hand-to-hand combat by the US Capitol Police officers
I can attest to my nephew having his arm broken by a baton or something. For just being within reach. He escaped arrest only because he looks younger than he is.
And there's Ashli Babbit. Courage Under Fire hunh? The only ones firing were the fcuking Democrat gestapo that day.
But the timing of the 'harrowing account of the insurrection' is very apt I'll give 'em that.
[Red State] Shocked not shocked: federal officials in charge of the COVID response profited off their insider knowledge—before the general public was even aware of the threat. A Wall Street Journal investigation published Wednesday uncovered numerous stock trades by employees of the Department of Health and Human Services, the CDC, the Department of Transportation, the Treasury Department—even a deputy to Dr. Anthony Fauci.
They write:
In January 2020, the U.S. public was largely unaware of the threat posed by the virus spreading in China, but health officials were on high alert and girding for a crisis.
A deputy to top health official Anthony Fauci reported 10 sales of mutual funds and stocks totaling between $157,000 and $480,000 that month. Collectively, officials at another health agency, Health and Human Services, reported 60% more sales of stocks and funds in January than the average over the previous 12 months, driven by a handful of particularly active traders.
It’s been an open secret that many have profited handsomely off the pandemic, with ten of the world’s richest people reportedly doubling their fortunes during the first two years, Pfizer hauling in an estimated $54 billion in vaccine and treatment revenues in 2022, and Fauci’s net worth somehow ballooning to almost $13 million.

The people whose trade, in the $Millions, is insider knowledge never behaved as if there was a drop dead in the streets corpses sent out on boats and burned at sea pandemic.

[JTN ht Rantingly] Nice work if you can get it? Why Katie Hobbs refuses to debate
Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who is the Democratic nominee for governor, came into the office 19 days over the past six months, records published Thursday show.
From April 1 to Oct. 14, Hobbs swiped her badge to enter the Arizona Capitol Building a total of 19 days, a public records request reviewed by Fox News shows.
She did not enter the building for nearly a month in April and August, Fox also reports.
Hobbs said last week that she is "actively involved" in her agency during her gubernatorial campaign.
"My day starts before 8 and ends well after 5," she told local radio host Barry Markson. "In addition to the campaign trail, I am also still secretary of state and actively involved with my office."
A spokesperson for her office said Hobbs and many other secretary of State staffers "have been working remotely the way many Americans have since the pandemic."
[NY Post] She abused the system of diplomatic immunity as badly as any third world asshole. Good to see justice done Anne Sacoolas, the wife of a US diplomat, pleaded guilty Thursday to mowing down UK teen Harry Dunn while driving on the wrong side of the road in 2019 — a case that sparked a diplomatic row between the two countries.
Dunn, 19, died in August 2019 after Sacoolas plowed into his motorcycle with her Volvo near RAF Croughton, an air force base used by the US military in Northamptonshire.
Sacoolas, 45, whose husband worked as a US intelligence officer at the base, left the UK 19 days after the deadly crash, claiming diplomatic immunity from criminal prosecution and the United States refused to extradite her.
Appearing at London’s Old Bailey court by videolink from the United States on Thursday, Sacoolas pleaded guilty to causing his death by careless driving.
A court sketch shows Anne Sacoolas (right on the screen) in a videolink as she appears in court to plead guilty to causing the death of Harry Dunn, watched by the 19-years-old's parents.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett denied the emergency application to block the program
That sounds like she is letting the normal judicial process continue instead of short-circuiting it. This takes it off the table as get-out-the-vote issue just before the election.
How long will it take the system to process millions of applications and issue checks once it starts? Taking ObamaCare as an example...
The full SCOTUS should take this case and revisit the entire 'standing to sue' doctrine as it is now and change it.
Maybe they'll get to that but not before a lot of $$ are out the door.

Does Amy have outstanding student loans? If a person took on the obligation, they should pay their debts. This forgiveness of student debt is a naked trolling for votes.

Trailing wife is on track. I am retired, but still member in good standing with the BAR. Justice Amy is not saying it is "lawful or constitutional". She is simply denying the emergency motion. This issue will have a full hearing by the Court. No doubt.

Just curious. Why was my comment dismissed? Is it something I said, or does the moderator have a "hard-on" for my comments. Just wondering if I should Wast time following this blog as I have since it's beginning?
[FREEBEACON] Mandela Barnes, the Democratic Senate candidate in Wisconsin, praised Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei ...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini... for supporting Black Lives Matter, said he wanted to be the "Dennis Rodman" of the Assad regime, and used his Twitter account to defend some of the world’s most notorious dictators and repressive regimes.
On Jan. 1, 2015, Barnes applauded a Twitter post by Khamenei that slammed the U.S. government over slavery.
"The issue of US govt oppression against blacks is a 100s year-old issue," wrote Khamenei, adding the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter.
Barnes "liked" Khamenei’s post on Twitter and responded to the Iranian leader: "The first tweet of 2015 from @khamenei_ir is #BlackLivesMatter. Let that sink in. May This be a most wonderful year for you and yours."
Barnes’s social media posts could raise questions about the candidate’s willingness to align himself with anti-American and undemocratic leaders. The news comes as Barnes, the Wisconsin lieutenant governor and former state politician, has faced criticism over his repeated appearances on RT, a Russian state-run news network that the U.S. State Department has described as "propaganda support for the Kremlin's foreign policy objectives."
Barnes also wrote several posts opposing any U.S. effort to oust Syrian president Bashir al-Assad in 2013, while the embattled dictator was massacring his own people and using chemical weapons ...have not been used since WWI except for in Iraq, by the late, unlamented Saddam Hussein and in Syria, but really, honest, not by the Syrian government. And in Germany in WWII, but that was against civilians. Lots of them, just one of many reasons Hitler's also late and unlamented... "I'd like to pull a Rodman next. I should have hopped that fence to Syria when I had the chance," wrote Barnes on April 9, 2013, a few weeks after Assad’s regime carried out a deadly Sarin gas attack against its opposition.
He also opposed efforts by the United States to aid the Syrian opposition after Assad’s use of chemical weapons.
"Seeing school administrators plead for more state aid, but seeing that our country is able to send weapons to Syria makes me more anti war," wrote Barnes in June 2013.
[FREEBEACON] Oregon Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tina Kotek tried to walk back her progressive stances in the race's final debate Wednesday. Her opponents weren't having it.
Kotek said that residents "need to feel safe" in the state and that she has "always supported" Oregon's police but thinks they should be held "accountable." Republican opponent Christine Drazan countered that Kotek "did not support police even when rioters were attacking a cop shoppe" during Portland's 2020 George Floyd-inspired protests. She called Kotek "the original defund-the-police candidate."
Kotek also tried to distance herself during the debate from Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D.), the least popular governor in America. She hit Brown in particular for her failed response to the homelessness crisis in Oregon. But unaffiliated candidate Betsy Johnson said Kotek had contributed as well to the problem, voting for the 2021 bill that decriminalized tent encampments. Brown in June last year signed that bill into law.
With 20 days to go until Election Day, Kotek and Drazan are neck and neck. Seven of the last eight polls show Drazan leading Kotek, with a Hoffman Research Group poll published Wednesday finding the Republican up 2 points. The poll showed Johnson trailing Drazan by 20 points.
Kotek during the debate accused her opponents of "misrepresenting" her record on law enforcement. One of Kotek's own staff members was also arrested during the 2020 protests in Portland.
Drazan and Johnson attacked Kotek for supporting drug decriminalization. Both called for the repeal of Measure 110, which decriminalized all drugs held in small amounts, though Johnson voted for the measure as a state senator.
Kotek defended her vote for Measure 110, saying officials just need to "make it work" by involving law enforcement and providing more treatment options. She said scrapping the law would result in more deaths.
Drug overdose deaths due to opioids more than doubled in the state between 2019 and 2021.
Drazan told voters that both of her opponents would continue nearly four decades of disastrous "one-party" rule in Oregon.
"Oregon is on the wrong track," Drazan said. "They're having an argument about what Democrats should be about. I want to bring Oregon back to balance again, and the way you're going to do that, in fact, is to elect a Republican."
