There seems to be no end in sight for the mind-boggling gaffes and age-related blunders of US President Joe Biden as the octogenarian head of state drops yet another clanger while bragging about a self-concocted analogy between the United States and the rest of the countries around the world.
The very latest installment in the recurring series of Biden attempting to deliver an unrehearsed speech hit a snag on Wednesday when he was speaking near the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge on the Ohio River to highlight his proclaimed success in passing infrastructure funding as well as the significance of bipartisanship with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
While boasting about the virtues of American infrastructure, the 80-year-old president veered off into a “phrase” he claimed to be paraphrasing from his “old neighborhood” by saying the “world is not a patch in our jeans.”
“Our best days are ahead of us. And I mean this from the bottom of my heart. I’ve been doing this a long time, folks. Our best days are ahead of us. Are not behind us. I’ve long said. I mean, this. I have never, ever, ever been more optimistic about America’s prospects. And am today. Never. Never. I’ve traveled over 140 countries around the world.

At a northeastern suburb in the capital city Caracas, locals can still purchase most of the commonly used medicines at a major supermarket, where some antibiotics have been sold out, and some first-aid medicines and supplies have become too costly for ordinary residents.
"I'm here mainly to buy antibiotics. I have problems with my lungs. But I can't get all I want, such as vancomycin," said a resident named Alfonso.
"Recent tensions have affected the supplies and prices of drugs. The prices of cancer drugs, insulin drugs and albumin are very high, and most patients here cannot afford them," said Giovanna Gonzalez a ...
Russian President Vladimir Putin says Moscow is prepared to use military force to achieve the goals of its special military operation if Ukraine continues to delay peace talks.
During an inspection of a Russian armed forces command post on Saturday, Putin stressed that Moscow will not allow Kiev’s obstruction to prevent progress.
“If the Kiev authorities do not want to resolve the matter peacefully, we will accomplish all the tasks before us in the course of the special military operation by military means,” he said.
The Russian leader noted that the Ukrainian authorities are not moving toward a peaceful resolution, adding, “We see that even today, unfortunately, the leaders of the Kiev regime are in no hurry to resolve this conflict peacefully. I spoke about this a year ago in a speech at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
