It didn’t take long after President Biden announced that he was dropping out of the 2024 Presidential race that comparisons were made by Hip Hop fans to J. Cole and his dropping out of the “Big 3” battle between him, Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
Biden declined the Presidential nomination for the Democratic party in a statement on Sunday afternoon. X users shared an edited photo of Biden and Cole’s face next to one another across the platform, with one fan writing, “Biden watched what backing out of a battle did for J. Cole and said y’all go have fun.” Another tweeted, “I hate the internet, Joe Biden folded, now J Cole trending.”
Biden’s decision comes amid reports that many politicians within the Democratic party have been losing faith in his ability to properly govern in recent weeks. “While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden wrote in his statement on X (formerly Twitter). “I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.”
President Joe Biden is up for reelection this year and it is not going to be easy. Overall, it looks like Biden will be facing off against Donald Trump again. Although Trump has all sorts of legal issues brewing, his base remains behind him. Moreover, there are numerous concerns surrounding Biden and his cognitive decline. Sources within the White House have described him as forgetful and in some instances, downright incompetent. However, it seems like he is still going to run, despite what some operatives are recommending.
A new book by Katie Rogers called American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady, from Hillary Clinton to Jill Biden will give potential insight into Biden’s White House. Although, it mostly looks at his relationship with his wife Jill. In fact, The Daily Mail US is reporting that an exclusive excerpt from the book speaks on Biden’s admissions about his marriage. For instance, he apparently tells people that the key to a successful marriage is “good sex.” Although it’s not bad advice, it is advice that leaves Jill Biden feeling embarrassed at times.
As soon as the tweet from Daily Mail US hit Twitter, there were tons of comments and reactions to it. Below, you can see what some of those tweets had to say. Overall, people were pretty disgusted by what they were reading. Ultimately, it is easy to understand why. No one wants to think about a man in his early 80s having sex. It’s that simple really. However, there were some who were supportive of the current President. After all, some are probably surprised by the fact that he can still engage in such an act.

This weekend, social media attacked President Joe Biden after he seemed to forget rapper LL Cool J’s name and referred to him as “boy”, while delivering a speech to the Congressional Black Caucus. The president, however, quickly corrected himself, allegedly mixing up LL’s real name– James Todd Smith.
LL Cool J and MC Lyte were on deck to receive the Phoenix Award at the annual awards dinner in Washington D.C. during the CBC’s 52nd Annual Legislative Conference. They were recognised for their musical contributions.
“Two of the great artists of our time representing the groundbreaking legacy of hip hop in America , LL Jay Cool J, uhhh…” Joe said, as the crowd laughed at his gaffe.
“By the way that boy — that man’s got biceps bigger than my thighs,” he added. After the blunder, Joe acknowledged MC Lyte, drawing a round of applause from the audience.
Following the blunder, the president was trending on X after the video of the incident went viral. “Thank you for this moment @JoeBiden it’s going to be a great song,” one user joked in the comment section of the video, shared by RNC Research. “Old habits die hard “Boy” Not a joke,” one said. “Ohhh god make it stop PLLLEASE . he’s making a total mockery of this country,” said one user, while another wrote, “Boy? Cringe…”.
“MAKE IT STOP,” one user said, while another asked, “Was LL insulted? Why no response from him?” “Joey loves that word ‘boy’. Wonder where he picked that up?” said one user. Another wrote, “Oooohhhh wowwwwww HE DONE REALY MESSED UP WITH THIS ONE”. “Embarrassing……Priceless,” said one user.
“Everyone under 60 is a boy to him. I still call my youngest son a boy- he’s 30,” one user said. Another user wrote, “I’m thinking he’s confused again”. “The way the crowd groaned. @POTUS was oblivious. Pure cringe,” one user wrote.

President Joe Biden could be eyeing a repeat at the presidency. But what does his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, have to say about it? She had a simple answer: “I’m all for it.”
Dr. Biden spoke with CNN and was asked did President Biden thought about not taking on a second term.
“Not in my book,” Dr.Biden said. “I’m all for it, of course.”
As of yet, President Biden has not formally announced a reelection campaign. Meanwhile, republican candidates are continuing to announce their candidacies.
While she is supportive, Dr. Biden is making sure that it is solely the decision of her husband. “And we support whatever he wants to do. If he’s in, we’re there. If he wants to do something else, we’re there too.”
In January, Dr. Biden had three skin lesions removed on Wednesday, two of which were detected as cancerous. The cancerous tissue was removed and she was expected to return to the White House later in the day as advised by her doctor.
President Biden accompanied his wife to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, just outside of Washington, where he stayed with his wife for nearly eight hours, leaving only after O’Connor’s report was released. The president returned to the White House in the late afternoon with hopeful news.
Dr. Kevin O’Connor, physician to the president, said, “The first lady is experiencing some facial swelling and bruising, but is in good spirits and is feeling well.”
A week before, the White House announced that the first lady would be having Mohs surgery to remove a small lesion above her right eye that had been found during a routine skin cancer examination.
Basal cell carcinoma was confirmed by Dr. O’Connor, as he stated, “All cancerous tissue was successfully removed, and the margins were clear of any residual skin cancer cells.” Doctors found two more lesions while the first lady was at the hospital as they prepared the first lady for surgery. O’Connor reported the removal of a second lesion on Jill Biden’s left eyelid that has been sent for microscopic examination.
Doctors further identified “an additional area of concern” on the left side of her chest, and removed a lesion using Mohs surgery. Basal cell carcinoma was also confirmed in that lesion, O’Conner said, mentioning all cancerous tissue had been removed. Basal cell carcinoma is not a notoriously aggressive form of cancer and does not spread as fast as other serious skin cancers do. However, they can increase in size, leading to a more difficult removal.
First lady Jill Biden has been a continuing advocate for cancer research– traveling to cancer research and treatment centers. Her passion is inspired by the breast cancer diagnosis of four of her friends in 1993, reported The White House. In 2015, her son Beau Biden died from brain cancer. President Joe Biden started the “Cancer Moonshot,” an initiative to drastically reduce the number of deaths caused by cancer,during his first year as vice president. Cancer Moonshot was relaunched in 2022.
The Skin Cancer Foundation reports that the Mohs procedure was developed in the late 1930s by surgeon Frederic Mohs and is used to remove basal and squamous cell carcinomas. Basal cell carcinomas are the most common type of skin cancer and are typically mild due to slow growth. Treatability has high success when detected early.
The surgery begins with locating and marking the spot. The area is then anesthetized to numb it, but patients remain awake. The doctor then removes a visible layer of skin tissue from the area and takes it to the lab to be analyzed. In the lab, they cut the tissue into sections, dye it and map out the area it was taken from. A technician freezes the tissue, further slices it thinly into horizontal sections and places it under a microscope for examination. If cancer cells are present, another layer is removed from the surgical site and the process repeats until the cancer cells are gone.
Ten dead and ten were injured on Saturday night (January 22) in Monterey Park, California, following a mass shooting during a Lunar New Year’s Eve event, according to local authorities.
Jill and I are praying for those killed and injured in last night’s deadly mass shooting in Monterey Park.
I’m monitoring this situation closely as it develops, and urge the community to follow guidance from local officials and law enforcement in the hours ahead.
The shooting occurred at 10:22PM at the Star Ballroom Dance Studio. The gunman erupted into gunfire inside the ballroom filled with festivalgoers. The celebration in Monterey Park is one of the largest Lunar New Year events in Southern California. This mass shooting, the deadliest in the nation since Uvalde
The wounded were taken to hospitals with conditions ranging from stable to critical. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna commended civilians who disarmed the shooter during a press conference on Sunday (January 22). According to Luna, five women and five men died at the scene and the wounded victims were transported to local hospitals, their conditions ranging from stable to critical.
Following the shooting, the two days of festivities were planned but officials canceled Sunday’s events following the shooting. Other Lunar New Year events, including one at the USC Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena and another at the Citadel Outlets, were also canceled.
I am shocked, saddened, angered, and heartbroken for the families who have been affected tonight. Please use the replies here to post more info as it comes out, as well as any verified fundraisers for the victims. I’d like to give what I can.
A suspect was identified as Huu Can Tran, a 72-year-old man whose body was found inside a cargo van with self-inflected gunshot wounds following a standoff with police in Torrance, California, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said at a Sunday evening news conference.
Authorities say Tran also tried, but failed, to target a second dance hall later in the evening. Asian American public figures would send their prayers and condolences on social media to those affected by the mass shooting upon the breaking news.
On Sunday evening, President Biden ordered the U.S. flag to be flown at half-staff at the White House and other federal buildings until sunset Thursday as “a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence,” per a White House statement.
President Biden says coronavirus is still a problem but circumstances are changing and ‘everybody seems to be in pretty good shape’.
Joe Biden has said “the pandemic is over” in an interview broadcast on Sunday, though he admitted “we still have a problem with Covid”, as the US continues to grapple with coronavirus infections that kill hundreds of Americans a day.
The president told CBS’s 60 Minutes: “We still have a problem with Covid. We’re still doing a lotta work on it. But the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one’s wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so I think it’s changing.”
During an appearance on CBS’s 60 Minutes, President Joe Biden declared the COVID-19 pandemic “over.”
Biden was on hand at the Detroit Auto Show and stated while there is still an issue with COVID, the pandemic portion has passed us by.
“The pandemic is over,” Biden said. “We still have a problem with COVID. We’re still doing a lotta work on it …but the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one’s wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so I think it’s changing. And I think this is a perfect example of it.”
BREAKING.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization, recently told CNN the end of the pandemic was near but not yet achieved. Ghebreyesus also cited the lowest number of weekly COVID-19 deaths since March 2020. “We have never been in a better position to end the pandemic. We’re not there yet, but the end is in sight,” he said.
The White House announced President Biden’s cancellation of some federal student loan debt. Domestic policy adviser Susan Rice said Wednesday the student loan forgiveness will give relief to borrowers while streamlining the business of student loans.
She also noted that it fulfills a Biden campaign pledge and eases the financial burden on millions of Americans. President Biden is forgiving billions in student loan debt.
The forgiveness offers $10,000 of debt relief for those earning less than $125,000 per year.
It’s estimated 42 percent of those who go to college will pay back their loans over five years. The average American household with student debt owes approximately $59,000.
Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren is in strong favor of Biden’s decision. While some democrats say it’s not enough, pushing for up to $50,000 in financial relief. And republicans argue it could be unfair to people who have already paid off their loans and believe the move could fuel inflation. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell called it “student loan socialism.”

Monkeypox virus cases are on the rise across the country.
The Biden administration is declaring the monkeypox outbreak a public health emergency in the U.S. White House COVID Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha, who is also helping on this front, says the decision gives the government more readily available options to fight the infectious disease. The first confirmed case of monkeypox virus in the U.S. came on May 18.
During a briefing Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that the virus is spreading rapidly. She insisted the administration is working aggressively to end the outbreak as soon as possible, including the rapid dispersal of monkeypox vaccines.
The virus has been spreading primarily through direct physical contact. More than 6,600 cases have been considered probable or confirmed since monkeypox was first found in the U.S. New York is the epicenter of America’s monkeypox outbreak with the CDC saying New York has more than 1600 cases or nearly one in four of all U.S. cases. While cases have been detected in every state except Montana and Wyoming.
