Joe Biden's shocking medical condition revealed

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

U.S. PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN TOLD JIMMY FALLON ON THE TONIGHT SHOW LAST WEEK THAT HE DOES NOT FOLLOW POLL NUMBERS ANYMORE. MANY TOOK HIM AT HIS WORD THAT THIS WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT HIS POLL NUMBERS HAVE TANKED.

HOWEVER, DOCUMENTS RELEASED BY TRICKYLEAKS FROM DR. KEVIN O'CONNOR'S OFFICE REVEAL THAT THE PRESIDENT IS EASILY WINDED. THE MEDICAL TERM FOR THE CONDITION IS ''AGING'' AND JOE, LIKE MANY AMERICANS, SUFFERS FROM IT.

REACHED FOR COMMENT, JOE ADMITTED TO THESE REPORTERS -- MUST CREDIT BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THAT "INDEED, IF I'M NOT ABLE TO HARNESS MY OLD MAN FARTS TO PROPELL MYSELF THROUGH TIME AND SPACE, I'M REALLY INCAPABLE OF FOLLOWING ALMOST ANYTHING."

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Starting with a documentary Ruth noted earlier "JFK UNSOLVED: THE REAL CONSPIRACIES ."

KGO -- ABC 7 in the Bay Area -- produced the documentary with Dan Noyes as the reporter and with interviews with Josiah Thompson (his most recent book on the assassination of JFK is LAST SECOND IN DALLAS) and Clint Hill (a Secret Service agent from the Eisenhower era to the Ford administration; he was in Dallas the day JFK was shot and is the one who jumped on the trunk after the shooting to shield the injured president and Jaqueline Kennedy).

All these years later and not only do questions remain but documents remain hidden -- documents that should have been released long ago. Run out the clock and hope that by the time they're finally released it's an attitude of, "Oh, yeah, all those years ago bbrutal things happened. You know like with Julius Caesar. That's just how it was back then." I do hope all the liars are held accountable -- not just the people that carried out the hit but also those who have made careers (and big bucks) out of lying and attacking. They'll tell any lie at all -- like VARIETY's Owen as Ava and I noted in "Media: The stupid and the liars choose to serve corporations, not people:"

We think it's sad news that Oliver Stone has had to revisit the assassination of JFK. It's sad but telling -- and most telling on our media.

58 years ago, then-President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. The American people didn't buy the whitewash of The Warren Commission or it's 'expert; staff which included Gerald Ford (later a US president -- an unelected US president) and Arlen Specter (later a US senator). A lot of people got 'lucky' or paid off because of how they responded to the assassination. Lie -- like Ford and Specter -- and you or your children have a career -- Dan Rather, Ethan Hawke (are we really going to be the only ones to point out Ethan's connection?), Harry Connick Jr., Cokie Roberts . . .

There were people and outlets who questioned the nonsense in real time -- Jim Garrison, Mark Lane, and both Mort Sahl and Woody Allen made ridiculing The Warren Commission part of their stand up acts. But the establishment managed to stifle a robust discussion by (a) ignoring it and (b) ridiculing it when they had to acknowledge it. And those who stifle a robust discussion get rewarded. Even by the 'left.' Last year, RISING elected to invite on plastic surgery freak Gerald Posner. Gerald dismissed any questions about the assassination in CASE CLOSED. Since the publication of that book, turns out that Posner isn't just a freak in the mirror, he's a freak on the page. He plagiarizes non-stop. He got fired from THE DAILY BEAST for it. Then, turns out, it was discovered he plagiarized in books and writings prior to joining THE DAILY BEAST. But RISING thought he was an acceptable guest. Lies and all, right, doesn't matter a bit. Doesn't matter to VARIETY's Owen Gleibernman who cited the work of the plagiarist to attack Oliver's new documentary.

We have to wonder -- and we did ask an editor we know at VARIETY -- is that now the standard for the rag? You refute an argument by citing the work of a plagiarist?

And let's be clear, Owen refuted nothing. Owen offered nothing. He just dismissed and cited Twink-Faced-Frankenstein Gerald and added his own crackpot claims. Such as? Life is too damn short so we'll do one and only one:

Speaking of the throat wound, if it was, as the documentary claims, an entrance wound, caused by a bullet coming from the grassy knoll, wouldn’t that bullet have ripped through the side of Kennedy’s neck?

As we asked our friend as VARIETY, "How stupid is this bitch?"

He wrote that. Owen wrote that garbage. Took the time to type it up. If it was a throat wound, it wouldn't have come through the side of the neck. Has Owen ever taken his candy ass to Dallas? Has he been to Dealey Plaza? We asked community members Sabina and Dallas to each go there Saturday and stand in the approximate place where JFK was shot.

Now, per The National Archives, JFK was shot at three times. The first shot missed. Shots two and three struck. As we already knew before we looked at the photos that Sabina and Dallas sent us, the Grassy Knoll is in front of where shots two and third struck. Or, if Own prefers, "Front and to the side, front and to the side." (If you suffered through his piece, you got our joke there.) The car was not parallel to the Grassy Knoll when shots two and three were fired.

Maybe it's not just the stupid and the liars. Maybe in the case of Owen Gleibernman it's possible to be both someone who gets it wrong because their stupid and also because they're a liar.

They'll tell any lie that they think they can get away with.

We bring it up because it's over a month now since the alleged assassination attempt on Mustafa al-Kahdimi. The prime minister of Iraq claims he was targeted. He claims six of his bodyguards were injured (the Iraqi government has claimed, at different times, four, five and six -- no names have ever been released which is why Iraqis on social media are skeptical about the injuries -- among other things). Mustafa tried to ride the attempt or 'attempt' to popularity. He's desperate for a second term but the Iraqi epople don't want him and press-appointed king maker Moqtada al-Sadr isn't cray about him while the one to always watch, Nouri al-Maliki, loathes him. Nouri knows how to game the system and he's also been meeting with various blocs in his attempt to form the largest bloc and claim the right to name the prime minister designate. WHile Nouri scrambles, Mustafa eats pastries and licks his fingers. Fat and happy, right Moqtada? Caftans can only hide so much.

So the day after the attempt or 'attempt' on his life, Mustafa shows up in public to proclaim he is strong and well and he knows who is behind the attempt (or 'attempt').

It's a month later.

Where are the arrests?

Or the arrest if it was some sort of 'lone gunman' flying the drones.

Where are the arrests?

Seems to me that a real attack, a real attempt to assassinate the prime minister of a country would result in arrests -- especially if they were claiming to know who carried it out. Seems to me that not making any arrests is saying that anyone can get away with anything which would make Mustafa a huge target.

The government of Iran, in various state publications, is claiming that the US government was behind the attack. That's something thats existed on Iraqi social media since the day of the attempt (or 'attempt'). That argument goes that the US backed Mustafa (true) and they realize Mustafa will probably be replaced because he's so unpopular so they staged an attack that would draw sympathy for Mustafa and force the country to rally around him.

If that is what happened, the US government is really stupid. There's been no rallying around Mustafa and only an idiot would have believed that there would be. He's unpopular. Not because he has bad breath, because he's done nothing. He promised he'd come in, hold early elections, and then leave But the early elections got pushed back. He's done nothing to address corruption.

Real assassinations have taken place. Protesters and journalists have been wounded and killed. And their killers -- members of the Iraqi government -- walk free.

Mustafa will give a fiery remark or show up for a photo-op but that's it.

People don't trust him and they don't like him.

Where are the arrests?

Again if it was a real attempt on his life, the failure to make any arrests sends a message that attempting to assassinate him is okay and no big deal.

When Joe Met Pope . . .

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

U.S. PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN WAS OVERJOYED TO MEET POPE FRANCIS.

THIS DESPITE BEING A CHEAPWAD WHO GIFTED THE POPE WITH A COIN AND A USED GIFT.

BUT WHEN JOE BIDEN FINALLY MEETS A WORLD LEADER SIGNIFICANTLY OLDER THAN HE IS, IT'S A BIG DEAL.

"I'M THE YOUNGSTER IN THE ROOM!" JOE HOLLERED TO ANY WHO WOULD LISTEN. "I'M ONLY 78 YEARS OLD! HE'S 84!!!! WHEN HE GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL, I WASN'T EVEN IN HIGH SCHOOL!"

MEANWHILE, SNOOPS SPENT THEIR TIME TRYING TO SNIFF OUT THE TRUTH IN A CLAIM THAT JOE BIDEN POOPED HIMSELF WHILE MEETING THE POPE.

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Heaven help us, the world deserves better.

You can't follow what passes for commentary without thinking "The world deserves better." I'm reminded of this with the garbage FOREIGN POLICY has published -- is that redundant? FP just publishes garbage and has been since around the time of Susan Glasser's brief tenure at the head of the magazine. It's garbage.

So they want to weigh in on Iraq and they can't find anyone obviously. So they go with . . . Anchal Vohra. Scratching your head? A lot of us are. Those of us who know her work certainly are. But, reality, most people are scratching their heads over "Who?" They'd be right to.

But Anchal's problem for those of us who know her work is she doesn't cover Iraq. She's a paid journalist. In three years, she has filed two reports on Iraq -- don't count her b.s. "Syria and Iraq" that is never about Iraq, whether it's her or anyone else, they write about Syria and toss in a tidbit about Iraq. Anchal does the same with her "Lebanaon and Iraq" coverage. She's in Beirut and she largely covers Israel.

She's not an expert on Iraq and it shows. Over and over.

And I get it, most people have pulled their staff from Iraq. You need someone to write a column, what are you going to do?

Well, I don't know, maybe get an Iraqi journalist in Iraq to write it? How about that?

It beats bringing on Jane Arraf -- which MSNBC did recently and Ava and I were kind and avoided weighing in on that nonsense. Jane has no opinion worth sharing.

She's at THE NEW YORK TIMES now. But you may know her from THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR, NPR, ALJAZEERA or, most infamously CNN.

She's been in Iraq forever. Including under CNN.

If you're thinking, wait, wait, I don't know that name -- you're right.

Because she doesn't break news.

Never.

Ever.

She learned that at CNN.

As Eason Jordan revealed in April of 2003 ("The News We Kept To Ourselves," NEW YORK TIMES), CNN didn't report from Iraq. They covered what the Iraqi government (run by Saddam Hussein) wanted covered. They avoided anything embarrassing (such as reality) because it might get them kicked out of the country.

That's why you don't know Jane Arraf. She's 'covered' Iraq since the 90s. And she never saw anything.

Nothing.

Abu Ghraib? Nope. Innocent civilians being killed? No.

I should be fair. She did briefly see the deaths of civilians. Briefly. When she was new on Twitter. But those deaths never made it into her print or radio coverage. Even when she was an eye witness.

Because Jane was trained under "The News We Kept To Ourselves."

Someone who is now on her fourth decade covering Iraq and she's never had a scoop, never had a memorable piece of journalism.

That is, by the way, how she keeps getting hired. They hire her, all these outlets, knowing that she'll churn out boring copy that never informs so it never alienates. She takes up space and let's them check off 'covered' on their list.

Back to Anchal. At FOREIGN POLICY, she pens the non-thought piece (a musing? fan fiction?) entitled "Muqtada al-Sadr is the United States' best hope in Iraq."

Iraq is a land of orphans and widows. The war continues and will hit the 19th anniversary mark next March. The media age in Iraq is 21-years-old. By way of contrast, in the US, the median age is 38.1-years-old. Why the stark difference? Because the war killed over a million people. Because it turned the country into a land of orphans and widows.

And yet Anchal's writing about the Iraq election from the stand point of . . . the US?

Never accuse most journalists of having a sense of purpose -- the vast majority don't even provide context today.
