Biden Was Barely Able to Speak Before Debate With Trump – Reports
US President Joe Biden could hardly speak two days before the unsuccessful debate with former US leader Donald Trump due to a strong cold and exhaustion, Politico has reported, citing sources familiar with the situation.
On Friday, Biden said in an interview with ABC News that he was sick and felt terrible during the debate.
On June 25, Biden woke up with a cold, held a brief rehearsal of the debate with his staff, and then rested all day, Politico reported on Friday, citing five sources.
His COVID-19 tests reportedly came back negative. The next day, aides tried to catch up with the debate, with preparations continuing into Thursday morning, the report read. Some aides believe the increased rehearsals further exhausted Biden, the sources told the news website.
Freudian slip or candid confession? Biden dazzles with wit at campaign event
“By the way, I couldn’t ponder! Ugh, I guess I shouldn’t say it. By the way, I couldn’t be prouder!”

Biden appeared confused and incoherent throughout his first debate with Republican frontrunner Trump last Thursday, reinforcing rather than refuting ongoing concerns about his cognitive abilities at age 81. His poor performance has led some Democratic politicians, donors, and other supporters to call for his removal as candidate.
The US presidential election is slated for November. The main contenders expected on the ballot are Biden and Trump, who have both won enough delegates’ votes to be their respective Democratic and Republican parties’ presumptive nominees. Trump and Biden are set to debate again on September 10.

Rivian’s Amazon Delivery Vans Keep Mysteriously Catching Fire
Amazon delivery vans, manufactured by Rivian, keep catching fire.
That was the topic of a new report from Quartz.com this week which highlighted that the blue Prime vans seen all over the country keep catching fire at Amazon distribution centers.
“One starts to wonder why,” QZ.com asked.
The report notes that footage from Third Coast Drone reveals Rivian vans ablaze outside an Amazon facility in Houston.
While the video doesn’t show how the fire started, it captures firefighters working to control the flames. Importantly, the footage also reveals that each van was parked at a charging station.
This isn’t the first time Rivian vans have caught fire at an Amazon location, the report notes.
Last August, a similar incident occurred in Salt Lake City, where vans burned in a distribution center parking lot. Posts in Amazon worker subreddits revealed that drivers have reported issues with the vans charging in high heat and suspected the chargers as the cause of the blaze.
Chargers have been blamed for fires before, either due to improper home wiring or inadequate cooling.
What’s still unclear is whether professionally-installed chargers, like these Rivian units, are prone to the same issues as Level 2 chargers plugged into home dryer outlets.
Heat-related issues with electric vehicles are likely to become more common as global temperatures rise.
The transition to EVs still remains worthwhile according to QZ—just, maybe consider charging in the shade until these issues are resolved.
Sure thing. We’ll be back to diesel powered delivery trucks in no time!

Netanyahu, Biden ‘Likely’ to Meet as Progressives Plan Boycott of Congressional Speech
The White House has announced that President Joe Biden will ‘likely’ meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later this month, when he’ll be in Washington to address a joint session of Congress on July 24.
His invitation to address Congress by Republicans has already proven divisive, given a number of Democrats have declared they intend to boycott it. Likely dozens will not be in attendance, similar to what happened when the Israeli premier addressed Congress nearly a decade ago.
On Wednesday a White House official told The Times of Israel that “The president has known Prime Minister Netanyahu for three decades. They will likely see each other when the prime minister is here over the course of that week, but we have nothing to announce at this time.”
But tensions have been soaring, given just last month the White House canceled a meeting with an Israeli national security delegation after Netanyahu issued a video chastising the US for withholding some weapons shipments. The White House was left furious.
At the time, Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called into question the Israeli leader’s narrative. “We genuinely do not know what he’s talking about. We just don’t,“ she told reporters.
She had noted that “there was one particular shipment of munitions that was paused, and you’ve heard us talk about that many times.” Jean-Pierre then emphasized, “There are no other pauses — none — no other pauses or holds in place.”
Biden has over the last months on various occasions gone negative against the ‘far right’ Netanyahu government, despite Israel having long been a very close US ally, over human rights abuses and mass killings in Gaza.
The US administration has on the one hand continued to approve of major weapons and aid packages to Israel, but on the other has highlighted the soaring civilian death toll due to the IDF offensive. Progressive Democrats have made their anger known, with many vowing to not vote for Biden in November.
Newsweek has recently highlighted Congressional Democrat discontent with Biden’s Gaza policy in the following:
The AP reported that interviews with more than a dozen Democrats revealed the discontent over Netanyahu’s upcoming speech, and how some feel it is a Republican ploy to divide Democrats.
Some Democrats have said they will attend Netanyahu’s speech to show support for Israel, but others are clear that they won’t be attending.
Rep. Lloyd Doggett, a deputy whip for the Congressional Progressive Caucus, has stated that Netanyahu “needs to be staying in Israel and working for the peace that he has been unwilling to support in the past.”
The WH Press Secretary is using Benjamin Netanyahu as a reference for Biden’s cognitive coherence.

The “indiscriminate bombing that he has encouraged… has led to loss of lives that should never have happened. He has not prioritized the hostages; he ought to be doing that instead of coming here,” he told The Hill days ago.

The ensuing pursuit ended quickly as the driver and occupants suddenly bailed out and fled on foot.
Arriving USBP agents can be seen chasing the suspects, with one agent collaring a male illegal in a driveway.
As the agent attempted to restrain the man, he fought back, ultimately slipping out of his shirt and running away.
“USBP Agents arrived on the scene and assisted in apprehending 7 illegal immigrants from Mexico,” TxDPS spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez explained in a statement.
“One of the illegal immigrants refused to cooperate and resisted arrest against one of the agents but was ultimately arrested.”
The driver was identified as Macedonio Rios, a Mexican national who has been living illegally in Roma, Texas.
Rios was charged with evading arrest and smuggling of persons.
Dangerous pursuits unfold constantly along the U.S.-Mexico border, as InfoWars frequently reports.

Putin Calls for ‘Complete End’ to Ukraine Conflict
Russia wants to fully resolve the Ukraine conflict, rather than just agreeing a ceasefire or freezing the hostilities, President Vladimir Putin has said.
The statement came after Putin met with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Moscow on Friday. Orban traveled to the Russian capital to discuss ways of finding a peaceful and diplomatic resolution to the conflict.
Speaking at a joint press conference following their meeting, Putin stated there should not be a “ceasefire or some kind of pause that the Kiev regime could use to recover losses, regroup, and rearm. Russia is in favor of a complete and final end of the conflict.”

Putin noted, however, that the conflict can only end once a number of conditions are met. Specifically, the Russian leader stressed that Kiev must withdraw its forces from Donbass as well as the former Ukrainian regions of Zaporozhye and Kherson, all of which officially became part of Russia after voting in public referendums.
There are other conditions, Putin added, but said that these are a subject for “fairly detailed consideration in the course of possible joint work.”
Previously, Putin proposed an immediate ceasefire on condition that Ukraine agree to a number of terms. These include the aforementioned withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from all Russian territories, as well as legally binding guarantees that Kiev would not seek membership in NATO.
Kiev, as well as its Western backers, have rejected the plan, although Putin has nevertheless stated that the offer remains “on the table.” The Kremlin has encouraged the Ukrainian leadership to take time to consider it.
During Friday’s press conference, Orban noted that Moscow’s and Kiev’s positions on the conflict are far apart, and that it will require significant effort to bring an end to the fighting.
Putin suggested that judging by the attitude of the Ukrainian authorities and the current state of affairs, it seems evident that Kiev “is still not ready to give up waging war to a victorious end.”
