Joe Biden Confusingly Remarks, “God Save The Queen”

by

Joe Biden ended a speech in Connecticut at the National Safer Communities Summit at the University of Hartford on Friday by remarking, “God save the Queen, man,” to the audience. The comment comes months after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who passed at the age of 96, last September.

When asked for context to the quote, White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Olivia Alair Dalton told CT Insider that Biden was speaking directly to someone in the audience. “He couldn’t do the full rope line due to weather, and was commenting to someone in the crowd,” Dalton wrote in an email.

Biden previously reflected on Queen Elizabeth II’s passing in a White House statement, last year. “Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was more than a monarch. She defined an era,” Biden wrote at the time. “We first met the queen in 1982, traveling to the UK as part of a Senate delegation. And we were honored that she extended her hospitality to us in June 2021 during our first overseas trip as President and First Lady, where she charmed us with her wit, moved us with her kindness and generously shared with us her wisdom.”

Joe Biden Confuses Supporters

Elsewhere in Biden’s speech, he called for several gun control measures including universal background checks and banning AR-15s. “A lot of you are tired. You’re tired. No, I get it. Try being 110 and doing it again,” Biden said. “Whether your Democrat or Republic we all want families to be safe. We all want to drop them off at a house of worship, a mall, a movie, a school door without worrying that’s the last time we’re ever see them.” The speech comes as Biden continues to prepare for the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election.

Ice Cube Drags A Troll That Called Him Out For Republican Ties

by

Ice Cube engaged in a fiery exchange with an internet troll who accused the rapper of promoting Republican voting. On Monday, an individual, evidently not a fan of the West Coast icon, took to Twitter to criticize Cube. They claimed that he only appeared “every four years” to encourage black people to vote for Republicans who “openly suppress the black vote.” Spotting the tweet, Cube swiftly fired back at the criticism. “I never told yo’ Black ass who to vote for,” the rapper said. “So stop lying and get that ‘click bait’ out’cha mouth.”

Over the years, the former N.W.A. rapper has been actively involved in political matters. In 2020, Ice Cube faced intense scrutiny when Katrina Pierson, an advisor to Donald Trump’s campaign, publicly acknowledged his assistance. Apparently, he took part in the former president’s Platinum Plan. Subsequently, Cube had to do damage control by confirming his collaboration with Trump. However, he was aiming to advance his Contract With Black America (CWBA) initiative.

Ice Cube Will Work With Whoever He Needs To In Order To Help The Black Community

At that time, Cube tweeted, “Let me get this straight, I get the president of the United States to agree to put over half a trillion dollars of capital in the Black Community (without an endorsement) and n***as are mad at me? Have a nice life.” Despite the backlash, Cube later revealed that he was approached by Joe Biden’s camp after Biden’s victory in the 2020 election. The new president was seeking his support in implementing the CWBA initiative. Cube emphasized that the ultimate goal was to pressure candidates to incorporate elements of his plan, which received widespread agreement, into their agendas.

In addition to his ties with Republicans, Ice Cube has faced longstanding accusations of antisemitism. He has been an outspoken supporter of Louis Farrakhan, a prominent religious leader known for his antisemitic views. In 2015, Cube was accused of allegedly instructing his entourage to assault a rabbi. Moreover, during the peak of the pandemic in 2020, Cube drew criticism for sharing memes that implied Jewish people were responsible for causing disruptions in the country. Cube defended these memes, referring to them as “pro-Black.” What do you think of Ice Cube’s response to the troll? Let us know in the comments!

Barack Obama And Joe Biden Expressed Their Sadness Over The Loss Of Harry Belafonte

Several artists and public figures have taken to social media to express their sadness over the loss of Harry Belafonte. Yesterday (April 25), the singer died of congestive heart failure at 96 years old, while in his Manhattan home.

Belafonte was known for popularizing calypso music with songs like “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song),” “Jump In The Line (Shake, Señora),” and “Jamaican Farewell.” He was also an outspoken advocate for racial equality and worked closely with Martin Luther King Jr., and was an open critic of George W. Bush’s policies as well.

Yesterday, beloved former President Barack Obama took to Twitter to honor Belafonte and share condolences to his loved ones.

“Harry Belafonte was a barrier-breaking legend who used his platform to lift others up,” said Obama. “He lived a good life — transforming the arts while also standing up for civil rights. And he did it all with his signature smile and style. Michelle and I send our love to his wife, kids, and fans.”

President Joe Biden also reflected on Belafonte’s legacy, saying, “Jill and I are saddened by the passing of a groundbreaking American who used his talent and voice to help redeem the soul of our nation. Harry Belafonte’s accomplishments are legendary and his legacy of outspoken advocacy, compassion, and respect for dignity will endure forever.”

Joe Biden Takes Aim At “MAGA Extremists” In Re-Election Announcement

by

President Joe Biden is someone who has experienced massive fluctuations in his approval rating. From the withdrawal from Afghanistan to gas prices, there have been plenty of headlines throughout his time in office. However, he certainly hasn’t had a turbulent tenure like the likes of Donald Trump. Regardless, Biden has a low approval rating, and it has led to speculation over whether or not he would run again for president in 2024. Overall, there are plenty of Democrats who would love to be in his position.

Although, it seems like President Joe Biden doesn’t care about the calls for him to step aside. We know this because today, Biden announced his re-election campaign. Yes, that’s correct. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be looking to maintain their spot in the Oval Office come January of 2025. In order to launch this new campaign, Biden offered a video on his Twitter account. Within this video, he explained his vision for America, while also taking aim at “MAGA Extremists.”

Joe Biden Has A Message For His Constituents

“Freedom. Personal freedom is fundamental to who we are as Americans. There’s nothing more important. Nothing more sacred,” Joe Biden said in the video. “Around the country, MAGA extremists are lining up to take those bedrock freedoms away.” With abortion rights and voting rights being taken away from the working class, Joe Biden is looking to make a case for the Democratic vision. Although, he will be facing stiff competition in the general election as it is looking likely that he will have a rematch against Donald Trump.

With Ron DeSantis plummeting in the polls, Trump looks like the likely Republican nominee. Overall, the general population has little interest in this sort of rematch. However, they may not have a choice. Either way, the next year and a half of political theatre is going to be exciting to watch. Trump and Biden do not like each other, and that hatred extends to their voter base. Let us know if you think it is a good idea for Joe Biden to run again, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news around the world.

Donald Trump Goes Scorched Earth On Elon Musk For Voting Joe Biden

by

Donald Trump is a man who is not afraid to lash out when he feels as though he has been threatened or disrespected. The former President of the United States has very little impulse control. Overall, that is part of the reason why he is no longer in office. Moreover, people just felt turned off by his brand of politics. Either way, there is no doubt that Trump is a polarizing figure. However, he is still running for President in 2024, which means we will be hearing a whole lot more from him, in the future.

In fact, Donald Trump is currently finding a new enemy in Elon Musk. Recently, Elon sat down with Tucker Carlson of Fox News to discuss political projects, Twitter, and a whole lot more. During this interview, Elon came out and said that he voted for Joe Biden in 2020. I’m not saying I’m a huge fan of Biden, since that would be inaccurate,” Musk revealed. “I would prefer, frankly, that we put just a normal person as president. A normal person with common sense. Whose values are in the middle of the country.” Of course, this set Trump off, who went scorched earth on Truth Social.

Donald Trump Goes Off On Elon Musk

“I don’t believe Elon Musk voted for Biden, not for a minute!” Donald Trump wrote emphatically. “He told me that he voted for me, but who knows about that, and who cares? Elon is just trying to make friends with the absolutely horrible Biden Administration because of all the government subsidies he gets, and all the permits he needs. His space company, car company, battery company, tunnel company, and even Twitter, which was illegally controlled by the FBI, need government HELP & SUBSIDIES.”

Needless to say, it is clear that Donald Trump is accusing Musk of being some sort of liar. These two fighting is going to create even more polarization amongst the right-wing base. With Trump also going at Ron DeSantis, there is no doubt he is on the attack. Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section below.

President Joe Biden Likely To Seek Reelection In 2024

by

President Joe Biden says he plans on seeking reelection in 2024. The 46th President spoke with NBC’s Today Show on Sunday prior to the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House. Biden will have plenty of time to plan his campaign ahead of the election next November. Additionally, Biden says Vice President Kamala Harris is also likely to join him in seeking reelection. Seeking the highest offices in the land is certainly difficult. However, Biden is likely used to it by now. He won the Presidency in 2020 after a campaign impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, he had two successful runs for Vice President with Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.

Although Biden did not make the announcement official, his 2024 run seems to be all but formality at this point. “I plan on running … but we’re not prepared to announce it yet,” he said. Moreover, the decision to seek reelection was heavily hinted at earlier this year by Biden’s wife. First Lady Jill Biden stated that her husband still had work to do during a speech in February. Meanwhile, Biden’s top advisers are also preparing for the campaign season. One person close to the administration told NBC News that the decision has already been made. “The decision part is over, but he resents the pressure to have to announce what he’s already decided,” the source said.

Joe Biden Plans Reelection Bid During Uncertain Time

Moreover, If and when Biden does confirm his run for 2024, it will hardly be surprising. It is extremely rare for first term Presidents to not seek reelection. In fact, only three first-term Presidents have chosen to forego a re-election bid, President Lyndon B. Johnson was the last to do it in 1968. Meanwhile, Biden would enter his 2024 campaign at an uncertain time. Mounting inflation has caused poll numbers to dip. Moreover, polling numbers for former President Donald Trump have increased following Trump’s arrest last week.

However, Joe Biden would be the overwhelming favorite in the Democratic primaries in 2024. Presently, the only other major Democratic figure to announce their campaign is activist and self-help author Marianne Williamson. Therefore, Biden and Trump may very well end up having a rematch of their 2020 election showdown. Biden has seen support from celebrities such as Cardi B, Rihanna and John Legend. We will see if this support can help him to another victory next November.

Malia Obama Hangs Out With Biden’s Grandkids

by

Malia Obama was seen hanging out with President Joe Biden’s grandkids in New York. The 24-year-old daughter of former President Barack Obama looked happy as she strolled through the streets of the city. Malia and the Biden grandkids, Maisy, Finnegan, and Beau, all got lunch together at Charlie Bird in SoHo. They then hit the streets together for a walk in the beautiful spring weather. Malia and the group were also accompanied by what looks to be a potential new love interest for the former president’s daughter.

Malia Obama is the eldest daughter of former U.S. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. She was born in in Chicago. Malia spent much of her young life in the public eye and attended prestigious schools in Washington, D.C. She gained media attention for her fashion choices and was often seen accompanying her parents on official trips and events. In 2016, she took a gap year before attending Harvard University, where she studied sociology and graduated in 2021. Malia is also involved in social activism and often speaks out about issues such as climate change and women’s rights.

Malia’s Life After The White House

Malia Obama has maintained a relatively low profile since her father’s departure as president. In 2018, she started an internship with the Weinstein Company in New York City, but she soon departed because of Harvey Weinstein’s public history of sexual misconduct. As part of her social advocacy, Malia has participated in demonstrations against the Dakota Access Pipeline and the unrest in Charlottesville, Virginia. Additionally, she served as a production aide on the HBO series Euphoria in 2019. Malia graduated from Harvard University in 2021.

Now that she is finished with college, Malia wants to delve further into a career in the field of film and television. Not only did Malia work on Euphoria, she also helped pen the new series from Donald Glover, Swarm. Glover called her “an amazingly talented person.” He likes her work so much that he’s now brought her on to develop a short film for his production company. Whatever happens next for her, it seems Malia is keen to make a name for herself outside of her father’s tenure as president.

Shannon Sharpe Claims Joe Biden Will Lose Votes After Jill Biden’s Iowa Invitation

by

Shannon Sharpe has never shied away from giving his opinions on politics. Overall, Sharpe’s political takes are typically dished out on Twitter as opposed to Undisputed. However, there are some instances that simply require him to take his politics to TV. That very instance took place this morning as Sharpe was asked to give his opinion on Dr. Jill Biden’s latest invitation. The First Lady of the United States suggested that both LSU and Iowa’s women’s basketball teams come to the White House.

Of course, this invitation is only extended to the winner. Moreover, Biden’s invitation felt a bit bizarre, especially in light of the narratives surrounding Angel Reese. In the eyes of some people, Biden’s invitation felt racially motivated. As it turns out, Shannon Sharpe feels the same way. In the clip down below, Sharpe made it clear that it was black people who helped elect Joe Biden into the White House. However, by appealing to white people, Jill could very well lose her husband some votes.

Shannon Sharpe Speaks

“Come on, Dr. Biden, you know better than this,” Sharpe said. “Did you forget who helped put your husband in the White House? You’re gonna find out a very serious, hard lesson in ’24. You’ll be like a Kentucky or Duke freshman, you’ll be one-and-done. Now, play with it if you want to, now you try to appeal to a certain group that don’t give a you-know-what about your husband, every chance you get. You see how popular you are, you see how popular your husband is. I’ll tell you what, he’ll drop another five percent if he do this.” This political analysis is certainly built in hyperbole. By next year’s election, no one will be thinking about this.

That said, Dr. Jill Biden has upset a lot of people with her suggestion, which likely won’t even come to fruition. In two weeks from now, no one will have remembered that she even suggested any of this. Such is the nature of the internet and the fast-moving headlines of today. Let us know what you think of Shannon Sharpe’s take, in the comments down below.

Joe Biden Administration Denies Laughing At Fentanyl Victims’ Mother, Twitter Reacts

by

As a man who’s spent more time in the White House than most others, Joe Biden is no stranger to the countless feuds that make place in the world of politics. Over two years into his presidency, the Pennsylvania native has been reflecting on what he’s accomplished so far, as well as what he’s got planned for the future (including another potential run). Unfortunately for him, he’s facing some seriously unflattering press at the moment thanks to Marjorie Taylor Greene.

As The Independent reports, Biden was earlier falsely blamed for the opioid overdoses of brothers Kyler and Caleb Kiessling, sons of pro-life activist Rebecca Kiessling. Earlier this week, Greene claimed that the sitting president is responsible for the young men’s passing, though it was actually during the Trump administration when they lost their lives. “I’ve read she was very specific recently saying that a mom, a poor mother who lost two kids to fentanyl, that I killed her sons,” the politician said during an event in Baltimore on Wednesday (March 1).

“[Biden’s] Words are Being Mischaracterized,” White House Says

“Well, the interesting thing: that fentanyl they took came during the last administration,” he also told the crowd, letting out a chuckle. It was the laugh that seems to have upset Kiessling and many others, who feel as though President Biden is making light of the mother’s immense loss. Criticism has obviously been constantly pouring in across social media all week long. In response, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre addressed the media, explaining POTUS’ view of the situation.

She began, “When it comes to this president, I believe the American people knows who he is. They have watched him go through grief. He expressed sympathy for her last night. And his heart goes out to any person, any person who has to go through that type of trauma, that type of hurt.” According to Jean-Pierre, Biden’s words are being “mischaracterized by someone who is regularly discredited for things that she says that are really conspiracy theories.”

Twitter Reacts to the Situation

The press secretary didn’t explicitly say that Joe Biden feels any remorse or guilt for laughing, though many on Twitter are vocally demanding that Kiessling receive one from him ASAP. “What’s funny about Americans dying from fentanyl, Joe? The families who have lost loved ones from fentanyl aren’t laughing,” Greene asked him after he corrected her accusations earlier this week.
