Biden Slurs His Way Thru UN Speech, Fighting the Teleprompter and Going Into Brain Freeze
Red State | 9/19/2023 | Nick Arama

Joe Biden was giving a speech before the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. So you know it’s time to hold your breath and hope he doesn’t say anything too egregious while he’s on such a big stage.

Biden then managed to say the quiet part out loud — it was necessary to work with China, and “Nowhere is that more critical than in accelerating the climate crisis.”

Then came the battles with incoherence and the teleprompter, with Biden slurring his words.

He said “for one day” his administration has treated the climate crisis as an “existential threat.”

He didn’t seem to understand that he got it scrambled and what was written was likely “from day one.”

A comment on the internet:

“If he was drunk, he could sober up.”

At an Aug. 30 “bou embolat” (bull with balls) event in Alcàsser, in the Valencia province of Spain, a runner was attacked while playing with his cell phone.

In shocking video obtained by CEN Media, the muscular bull, with burning balls of flammable material attached to its horns, is seen charging towards the young man, who is distracted by his phone.

He barely sees the bull until the very last second — but by then, it was too late.

As he tries to escape, the unidentified man trips and falls. The bull is seen trampling him as spectators scream in the background. The bull wore flammable material on its horns.
