Then-candidate Joe Biden in 2020 promised at least ten times he would “shut down the virus.” But as fresh variants have emerged since Biden assumed office in January, the president has failed to shut down the Chinese coronavirus. The New York Times acknowledged last week the United States has suffered more coronavirus deaths under Biden than under former President Donald Trump, despite vaccine availability. SUPERCUT: Biden repeatedly promised to “shut down the virus.” SPOILER ALERT: He failed. pic.twitter.com/Yhffn1GXls — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) October 15, 2021 The fears of a fresh variant impacting the United States caused NBC’s Chuck Todd on Sunday to slam Biden for campaigning on “taming” the virus while “prematurely declaring independence” from the virus in July. “Ultimately, this is also a political problem,” Chuck noted. “President Biden ran on taming the pandemic. And he prematurely declared independence from the virus back in July”: On … [Read more...]

President Joe Biden urged all Americans on Monday to wear their masks more and get vaccination boosters to help fight the Omicron variant of the coronavirus. “Please wear your mask when you’re indoors when you’re in public settings around other people,” Biden said during remarks at the White House with Dr. Anthony Fauci, his coronavirus pandemic advisor. The president spoke at the podium without a mask after meeting with federal health officials at the White House to address the emerging variant of the coronavirus identified in South Africa. “I encourage everyone to wear a mask when they’re indoors in a crowded circumstance like we are right now unless you’re eating or speaking in a microphone,” Biden said to reporters in the room.

A federal judge has struck down one of President Joe Biden’s four COVID vaccine mandates, ruling that it violates federal law to force healthcare providers to fire doctors and nurses who object to the vaccination. One mandate down, three to go. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a mandate that any healthcare provider receiving money from its programs must demand COVID-19 vaccinations of its employees, and fire any healthcare workers who do not get a vaccination. CMS is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which is led by Secretary Xavier Becerra. But Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt led a coalition of states to file a legal challenge to this vaccine mandate. On Monday, Judge Matthew Schelp of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri agreed with Schmidt and his fellow state attorneys general that Biden’s mandate is illegal. The judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking that mandate immediately. … [Read more...]

President Joe Biden continues to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in high regard, despite growing controversy over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Fauci was the only federal health official who met with Biden and his coronavirus team on Sunday to discuss the Omicron variant according to a photo released by the White House. Dr. Anthony Fauci and President Joe Biden meet with his coronavirus team to discuss the omicron variant. (White House photo) Biden also appeared Monday with Fauci and Vice President Kamala Harris to talk about how his administration would handle it. The president stressed during his speech that Fauci believed that existing coronavirus vaccines would provide some level of protection and to keep getting the shots and boosters. “I want to reiterate: Dr. Fauci believes that the current vaccines provide at least some protection against the new variant and the boosters strengthen that protection significantly,” Biden said. At one point in the event, … [Read more...]

President Joe Biden boasted he was a better leader than former President Donald Trump on Tuesday because he did not “shock” allies around the world. “Unlike Trump, I don’t shock our allies,” Biden replied when reporters asked him about the likelihood of coordinating with European countries over additional travel bans to help prevent the spread of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus. Biden’s comment ignored his diplomatic mess with France in September, after failing to inform French leaders about a nuclear submarine deal with Australia. Biden’s deal led Australia to cancel an earlier submarine deal with France, and the French first learned about it in the media and not from the Americans or the Australians. French officials specifically cited Biden’s behavior as similar to that of Trump.

President Joe Biden tried to distance himself from supply chain disruptions this Christmas, telling Americans on Wednesday he was not responsible for any problems. “I can’t promise that every person will get every gift they want on time,” Biden said. “Only Santa Claus can keep that promise.” Biden argued that shortages for some goods around Christmas were normal, citing the Cabbage Patch Kids doll shortage in the 1980s and also the shortage of Beanie Babies in past years. The president downplayed reports of reduced supplies of goods for Americans shopping for the holidays. “Here’s the deal. For the vast majority of the country, that’s not happening,” Biden said. He insisted that he and his administration “averted potential crisis” by fixing the supply chain problems before they had a substantial effect on Americans shopping for Christmas. Biden called his efforts to solve clogged ports in South Beach and Los Angeles as an “incredible success story.” Cargo ships filled … [Read more...]
