Friday's Morning Joe devoted an entire segment to hyping reporting from Politico that‚ in private‚ President Biden used profanity to denounce Trump. The segment also featured some of Biden's angry public rhetoric about Trump; along with Jonathan Lemire covering for Biden's repeated lies about his son Beau dying in Iraq.  Of course‚ their coverage included a clip of an angry Biden denouncing Trump for refusing to visit a military cemetery in France for fallen US soldiers because he views them as "losers." Biden somehow managed to first mention his son Beau in his denunciation of Trump‚ as if Beau were among the fallen soldiers. Lemire covered for Biden by claiming that Beau "died of brain cancer shortly after returning from Iraq." In fact‚ Beau died six years after returning from Iraq. It gets worse. As even the leftist Daily Beast has noted‚ in an article entitled‚ "Joe Biden Strangely Repeats False Claim That His Son Died in Iraq‚" Biden‚ addressing US Marines in Japan‚ said “My son was a major in the U.S. Army. We lost him in Iraq.” Joe Scarborough advocated for Biden's handlers to let him out more often‚ saying his mistakes make him more relatable. Scarborough claimed that Biden simply had "the same stutter he's had since he was 14 years old."  We have all known people with a stutter. Biden might have had one‚ but his constant slurring of words nowadays were clearly not stutters‚ but the stumbles of an 81-year-old with a decline in mental acuity. Stuttering also wouldn't explain Biden frequently having to be led off in the right direction by Dr. Jill Biden.  Morning Joe's shameless covering and flacking for Biden make particular sense in light of today's Axios article reporting that Biden was a huge fan of‚ and even "obsessed" by‚ the show‚ and that "The president often calls co-host Joe Scarborough — a former Republican congressman who's now a harsh critic of Donald Trump — to get Scarborough's take on issues."  This was the same Joe Scarborough who‚ in 2015‚ gave the royal treatment to then-candidate Donald Trump‚ frequently having him as a guest on the show‚ conferring with him at Mar-a-Lago‚ etc. Joe Scarborough: professional sycophant and toady to men in power. The transcript is below. Click "expand" to read: MSNBC Morning Joe 2-2-24 6:13 am ET WILLIE GEIST: Jon‚ you and your colleagues have new reporting on the language President Biden uses behind closed doors when talking bout the former president‚ something -- JOE SCARBOROUGH: We‚ we‚ we need to make Jon actually say the words. GEIST: Yes! SCARBOROUGH: He almost did at the campaign stop a couple of -- he said he's a sick -- and he stopped himself. JOHN HEILEMANN:Get the delay ready. GEIST: He almost let it slip out last month while he was marking the third anniversary of the attack on January 6th. JOE BIDEN: Trump and his MAGA supporters not only embrace political violence‚ but they laugh about it. At his rally‚ he jokes about an intruder‚ whipped up by the big Trump lie‚ taking a hammer to Paul Pelosi's skull. And echoing the very same words used on January 6th: "where's Nancy?" And he thinks that's funny. He laughed about it. What a sick -- my God. [Cheers and applause ] I think it's despicable‚ seriously. GEIST: He was right on the cusp right there. In private‚ Biden‚ according to Jon and his colleagues‚ doesn't stop himself there. The president has described Trump to long-time friends and close aides as a sick‚ insert expletive‚ who delights in others' misfortunes. That's according to three people who heard the president use the president use the profane description. HEILEMANN: I'm glad they gave the F there before the asterisks‚ because I was thinking‚ sick puppy. GEIST: One of the people who has spoken with the president said Biden recently used expetives when referring to Trump. Biden grew particularly incensed by Trump refusing to visit a military cemetery in the rain‚ and by stories he has mocked the sacrifices of fallen American soldiers. We heard some of that anger in the speech last weekend in South Carolina. BIDEN: Donald Trump‚ when he was Commander-in-Chief‚ refused to visit a cemetery‚ U.S. cemetery‚ outside of Paris for fallen American soldiers. And he referred to those heroes‚ and I quote‚ as suckers and losers. He actually said that! He said that! How dare he say that! How dare he talk about my son and all [unintelligible] like that. Look. I call them patriots and heroes. The only loser I see is Donald Trump.[ Applause ] . . .  JONAHTHAN LEMIRE: And in my reporting‚ we learned there were a few things in particular that really set him off behind closed doors and lead to those profane outbursts. You mentioned Charlottesville‚ when Donald Trump defended people on both sides of that racist riot. That is what led Joe Biden to run in 2020. We have reports that Donald Trump‚ confirmed by the January 6th committee‚ that Donald Trump sat and watched the insurrection from the private dining room just off the Oval Office‚ cheering them on‚ even rewinding some of the most violent parts. His warm words for Vladimir Putin‚ which Biden believes is simply unpatriotic.  And then the two examples you just played there‚ the mockery of fallen soldiers‚ which for President Biden is deeply personal because his son Beau Biden was stricken and died of cancer soon after returning from Iraq.  SCARBOROUGH: I think this may be‚ may be one reason why the White House probably should let him out more. There's been concerns that he's not getting out‚ he's not doing enough stuff‚ he's not answering enough questions. All right. So if he makes a mistake‚ he makes a mistake. You know‚ Andy Card told Barnicle one time that‚ that the thing people didn't get about Bush was‚ when he bumbled around and wasn't perfect‚ wasn't Ronald Reagan --I'm talking about 43 -- Andy Card said it made him more relatable. He saw in the polls it made him more -- he wasn't speaking in flowery language. People felt like‚ okay‚ he's one of us. That's Biden! So let Fox News make fun of him because he has the same stutter he's had since he was 14-years-old.

Business tycoon Elon Musk is accusing President Joe Biden seeking to establish one-party rule by legalizing illegal immigrants."Biden's strategy is very simple: 1. Get as many illegals in the country as possible. 2. Legalize them to create a permanent majority – a one-party state. That is why they are encouraging so much illegal immigration. Simple‚ yet effective‚" Musk tweeted.In another post he added‚ "This explains why there are so few deportations‚ as every deportation is a lost vote. As happened this week‚ you can literally assault police officers in broad daylight in New York‚ be released with no bail‚ give everyone the finger and *still* not be deported!! Outrageous." — (@) Someone responded to Musk by writing‚ "Yup. Biden has the power to stop it‚ he chooses not to. This was intentional. This was by design. It's promisingly annoying to see people finally catching up to what has been said regarding the Democrats plans for the past 3 years.""I was embarrassingly slow to figure it out‚" Musk replied. — (@) The number of southwest land border encounters has dramatically increased since Biden took office. The figure rose from 101‚099 in February 2021‚ which was the first full month of Biden's White House tenure‚ to the staggering sum of 302‚034 in December 2023‚ according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection"In December 2023‚ the U.S. Border Patrol recorded 249‚785 encounters between ports of entry along the southwest border.

A TikTok video of a young woman complaining about having to work 40 hours a week went mega-viral with millions of views on social media. The woman‚ who says her name is Eliza‚ posts under the moniker "SupposedlyASystem‚" and she says that it is impossible to enjoy life while working 40 hours in order to pay the rent. "How do people manage to enjoy life while working full time?" she wrote on the video. "So‚ I work 40 hours a week so I can have a two-bedroom apartment and an extra $300 a month‚" she says. "Like‚ it doesn't cover my phone‚ internet‚ food‚ you know? So not only do I not have any extra money‚ but just working makes me so exhausted‚ that I don't have time either‚" Eliza continues. "Like I get off work at 5:30‚ come home‚ I'm just so tired. I'm so tired that like‚ anything that I need to do outside of work I then just push off to the weekend‚ and then I'm like‚ I'm too tired to do this after work‚ I'll wait until Saturday. So‚ then I end up with so much to do on the weekends‚ that ends up having to be split into two days‚" she says. "So‚ then I don't get a day off. I don't get a day to relax. I don't get to decompress!" Eliza adds tearfully. "I don't know what to do‚ I'm not made for this! I don't have the money‚ time‚ or energy to enjoy my life outside of work‚ and I don't know what to do about it anymore‚ you know? I'm so tired." The responseReactions on social media were varied‚ with some supporting her assertions as a symptom of modern life while others mocked and ridiculed her for complaints about working normal hours. "Honestly boggles my mind that so many people think 40 hours of work a week is a lot. That leaves you at least 5 or 6 waking hours a day during the week to yourself and two full days on the weekend. How much more free time do you really think you should have?" responded commentator Matt Walsh. "Stop blaming these kids for unrealistic expectations and blame the parents who clearly didn't prepare them for adulthood‚" read one response. "Imagine how tired the people that have been working for the past 20‚ 30 ‚ 40 years are right now . no one gave s*** about us ‚ we raise our families and keep working‚" read another response. Others criticized people on the right for their mockery of the video. "I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again‚ this is another young woman describing a crisis of meaning &; right wingers jeering at her have lost the plot‚" responded Marlo Slayback. "If you're a conservative dunking on this woman‚ you're misapprehending what this is about. It's not about spoiled/whiny Gen Z or whatever. It's about a crisis of meaning in the post-Christian West and the hollowing out of our civilization by feminism‚ liberalism‚ and secularism‚" replied writer John Daniel Davidson. The mix of supportive and critical responses led to one version of the video garnering over 14 million views on X‚ the platform formerly known as Twitter‚ alone. The original video garnered 590k views on TikTok. She responded in a separate video to people criticizing her and said she felt sorry for them.
