Former President Joe Biden’s team considered the possibility that they might have to put him in a wheelchair if he won re-election in 2024, the upcoming book “Original Sin” claims. According to the book from CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson, information given to the American people about then-President Biden’s physical condition was often at odds with evaluations from his personal physician. “Biden’s physical deterioration — most apparent in his halting walk — had become so severe that there were internal discussions about putting the president in a wheelchair, but they couldn’t do so until after the election,” Tapper and Thompson wrote. Biden’s physician suggested that a wheelchair might be necessary – especially if the president were to fall at any point — because his age and condition could prolong recovery. “Given Biden’s age, [his physician Kevin O’Connor] also privately said that if he had another bad fall, a wheelchair might be necessary for what could be a difficult recovery,” the book reads. Biden’s team did show concerns that he could fall, and took precautions such as using the shorter staircase from Air Force One and having the president wear shoes that were made for better stability. Still, according to the book, O’Connor often felt as though Biden’s aides were not doing enough to make sure that he was taking proper precautions and getting enough rest. “O’Connor sometimes quipped that Biden’s staff members were trying to kill him, while he was trying to keep him alive,” Axios reported. Another instance that showed O’Connor and Biden’s team in conflict was the aftermath of a 2020 fall in which Biden fractured his foot. After the president wore a walking boot for more than two months, O’Connor announced that “both small fractures of his foot are completely healed” and that “this injury has healed as expected.” But throughout 2024, as critics increasingly noticed the president’s awkward gait, aides claimed that his halting step resulted from his refusal to wear the boot long enough when he’d been recovering from the fractures in his foot. “In short, they said, Biden was being undone by his own vigor,” Axios reported. Biden’s team has responded to early reports from the book, saying, “So far, we are still waiting for someone, anyone, to point out where Joe Biden had to make a presidential decision or make a presidential address where he was unable to do his job because of mental decline. In fact, the evidence points to the opposite — he was a very effective president.”

The annual inflation rate was lower than experts expected in April, coming in at 2.3%, its lowest point since February 2021. The Labor Department on Tuesday reported that the consumer price index rose a seasonally adjusted 0.2% in April, according to CNBC. While April’s 0.2% increase from the same month last year was a jump from the 0.1% year-over-year drop in March, the 2.3% inflation rate was just below the forecast of 2.4%, giving President Donald Trump some good economic news shortly after his “Liberation Day” tariffs went into effect. The White House celebrated the news in a post on X, crediting the “TRUMP EFFECT.” “For the last several years, hardworking families have faced an affordability crisis. Finally, with @POTUS at the helm, Americans are breathing a sigh of relief — every dollar is going further and workers are able to keep more of their hard-earned paychecks!” Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer added. Food prices saw a slight decline of 0.1% from March to April, with the cost of eggs falling 12.7%. Used car prices were also down in April, while month-over-month energy prices increased 0.7%, shelter costs rose 0.3%, and new car prices remained the same, according to the consumer price index report. The year-over-year index for energy was down 3.7%, gasoline dropped 11.8% over the past 12 months, and the fuel oil index saw a 9.6% decline over that period. The index for electricity was up 3.6% over the last 12 months, and the natural gas index rose 15.7%, the report added. The report comes as President Trump makes progress on a trade deal with China, providing some tariff relief. The Trump administration announced on Monday that it agreed to slash its reciprocal tariff on China to 10% for 90 days while the 20% fentanyl tariff remains in place. In return, China also dropped its retaliatory tariff on U.S. goods to 10%. Those reductions are set to go into effect on Wednesday as the two countries seek to continue negotiations. Last week, Trump also struck a deal with the United Kingdom, giving the United States more access to the British economy and maintaining the tariff on U.K. imports at 10%. In return, the United Kingdom will be allowed to export up to 100,000 vehicles to the United States for a 10% tariff, a reduction of Trump’s 25% tariff on foreign auto imports. Some economic experts predict that the brunt of Trump’s tariffs will not reflect in economic data until the summer, according to The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

Eli Manning has daughters, and they do cool father-daughter things like go to hockey games. The girls and their Dad are sitting rinkside at a New Jersey Devils game. During a cute exchange, Eli advises his daughters on what to do if a puck hits the protective glass wall before them. “Don’t flinch.” The girls accept the advice and return to watching the game until the moment of truth arrives. @espn Eli gave it his best shot (via @NHL) #elimanning #hockey ♬ original sound – ESPN Within a short time, the puck slammed into the Plexiglass safety wall in front of the three Mannings. The daughter on Eli’s left flinched very slightly. His other daughter flinched, moving her hands up to protect her face. With the Plexiglas shield, the threat is non-existent, but reflexes are hard to overcome in that situation. Both girls acted on their reflexes. By now, you’re wondering how Eli Manning reacted and whether he will revisit the earlier lessons with his daughters. That man has some reflexes. When the puck slammed into the glass, his 6’5″ body attempted to coil itself into a fetal position of fear. His hands flew up to guard his face while his legs raised to protect important anatomical areas. Image from TikTok. Reflexes are funny. We spend our lives training them to protect us, and when they do, people poke fun at us. Yes, Eli, we are laughing at you. Eli Manning’s Daughters’ Reactions Are Priceless What has most people cracking up even more than Eli’s reflexive action is the daughter’s reaction on his right. She stopped in the middle of her flinch to look incredulously at her Dad. The expression on her face says it best. “What the heck, Dad?” Image from TikTok. Meanwhile, the daughter on Eli’s left is as cool as a cucumber. She only flinched slightly. While her Dad is still trying to uncoil his 6’5″ frame, she is ready to return to watching the game. Image from TikTok. We hope these two young women remember this outing and tease their Dad for eternity. After his lecture about the importance of not flinching, he deserves some good-natured ribbing. Ahhhh… the joys of parenting. Please share. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
