Biden begins making public appearances to disprove the notion that he’s dead
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
So, after being criticized for avoiding the media, Joe Biden has finally begun making some public appearances to disprove the notion that he’s dead. And who did he start with? Howard Stern. That’s right. “The King of All Media” interviewed the “Petrified of All Media.” It was a weird appearance for Fart Man, and Howard Stern didn’t look that great either. But what an appearance it was. Of course, Joe had trouble hearing the questions, not because of his age, but because Howard had his head so far up the president’s a** it was muffled. It wasn’t an interview, it was a Lewinski. The only thing missing was a blue dress and an actual president.
It’s a clear indication that the king of all media is now the queen of all BJs. Hey, you know, maybe Stern got a sex change because all I saw when I looked at this interview was one giant p****. Who knew the Stern Show would be a safe space for spineless, babbling geriatrics and also Joe Biden? But what was really notable was how Stern lapped up all the lies. Joe spinned more yarn than Mother Goose on crystal meth. But that’s the Dems’ dilemma- hide Joe and have him look demented, or let him talk and remove all doubt. He’s full of more hogwash than Joy Behar’s bathtub. First of all, Joe lied about how he got busted at a protest while standing on a Black family’s porch.
JOE BIDEN: He said, Joey, remember? True story. He said remember when there are desegregating Linfield, the neighborhood with, you know, 70 homes built in white suburbia. And I told you, and there was a Black family moving in, and there was people who were down there protesting. I told you not to go down there. And you went down. Remember that? And you came and got arrested by standing on the porch with a Black family.
HOWARD STERN: Right?
JOE BIDEN: They brought you back, the police? I said, yeah, mom, I remember that.
BIDEN ROASTED FOR AGREEING TO DEBATE TRUMP ON HOWARD STERN: ‘HIS HANDLERS MUST BE FURIOUS!’
You know, whenever he says, “true story,” that’s a tip off. I bet the mom recalls this differently. Back then, she remembers him saying, you know remembers herself saying, will, someone please tell that White kid to get off our porch? He keeps sniffing our baby’s hair. Of course, no one can find a record of this arrest. They tried. Biden also claimed to have been a runner up in state scoring in football.

HOWARD STERN: I don’t think a lot of people know that you were a star receiver in high school. You were like the first string guy. You were the guy who caught the ball.
JOE BIDEN: Runner-up in state scoring. You know.
HOWARD STERN: Wow.
Oh, man. Stern knows his life story better than he does. But I suppose the best evidence Joe Biden played football is the brain damage. Stern then asked another phony question about being a lifeguard.
HOWARD STERN: Did you ever save anyone’s life when you were a lifeguard? Was anyone ever drowning?
JOE BIDEN: Yeah.
HOWARD STERN: You did?
JOE BIDEN: Yeah, well, half a dozen times. Usually younger kids, you know? But uh…
HOWARD STERN: You do the thing with the whistle and then jump in in the bathing suit?
JOE BIDEN: Yeah, you got it.
Yeah, half a dozen kids. Remember the good old days when Howard Stern interviewed more intelligent people who could maintain a line of thought, you know, like crack whores? Stern then told Biden that the president had had a very cinematic life. You have the movie Pinocchio. And what’s up with Stern? It feels like he became everything he used to hate. But maybe this is all he really wanted. The role of the everyman was just an act, a conduit for acceptance by the elites who used to hate him. Then there’s Joe saying how, as a senator in the 70s, he was named the most eligible bachelor.

JOE BIDEN: It’s like when I when I met, when I met Jill, I was when I lost my family. I got put in that ten most eligible bachelor’s list.
HOWARD STERN: Because you were a United States senator. You were a catch.
JOE BIDEN: And so, and a lot of lovely women. But women would send very salacious pictures, and I’d just give them to the Secret Service.
No. Senators don’t get as Secret Service detail. Joe Biden didn’t get one until, 2008, and he showed them his gratitude by swimming nude in front of them in the pool. You can read that headline there. I’m too lazy. So you gotta wonder who Joe was actually giving these pictures to. Are there a bunch of retired Senate ushers with photos of Liz Warren wearing only a feather? But I gotta say, man, Howard Stern’s the only guy that makes Seth Meyers look cutting-edge. I mean, he really did reinvent himself. He went from being a funny a**hole to just a boring a**hole.
So Joe’s next stop, the White House Correspondents Dinner. The drink of the night was vinegar and water because that’s what you serve at a douchebag convention. Now, the event is held in a huge ballroom in D.C., which is ironic, since there’s never been anyone spotted there with a pair of balls. Thousands of media, politicians and needy celebs gathered to tell each other how great they are. It’s like working for Kim Jong Un. A bunch of weak, scared people pretending to like a tyrant so they don’t get eaten by his dog. The event was hosted by Colin Jost, whose claim to fame is banging Scarlett Johansson. But if that’s your claim to fame, you should claim that fame, I get it. But from the podium, he did what was expected. He made a few jokes with those directed at Joe or the non-Fox media, having all the sting of a knock- knock joke.
It’s hard to say which had less real teeth- Stern’s interview, Colin’s jokes, or Biden himself, but the weakest part was how Jost had made his comedy turn into a preachy devotional to Biden. His jokes weren’t meant to be funny at all, just to express amazement over how it could be possible that America would prefer Trump to Joe. As for the prez, he received a standing ovation for managing to stand. Although his speech was the usual combo of shouting weird grins and shots at Trump. Why repeat him? You heard him before, but the story is what you didn’t hear on Stern or in DC. And that’s what’s happening in and to America.
No wonder they’d rather joke about Trump, who isn’t president. It’s hard to make jokes about violent crime, war, crippling inflation, mental illness, squatting, homelessness, illegal immigration, fentanyl overdoses, trans militancy, and, of course, American hostages. But whether you’re Howard Stern or Joe Biden, it’s just better to seclude yourself from the rabble surrounded in wealth, comfort and power and hope the rest of America won’t notice. But we do.

In a way, Stern and Biden are a lot alike, masquerading as men of the people, they actually find people gross. But if it’s any consolation, the feeling’s mutual.
Holly JacksonBestselling author Holly Jackson shares her secrets for plotting a modern murder mystery – and explains how true crime has influenced her.
For the author of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, the process of writing a whodunnit is as meticulous as investigating a crime.
“I am obsessive about it,” she says. “I don’t quite have a ‘murder board’ because it’s not on the wall, but it is on the floor.”
Each scene in one of Holly’s books corresponds to an index card, which is then carefully placed into columns for each act in the story. The author admits this “does rather take over the room”.
While this is great for planning a storyline, Holly says opening her office door a “bit too ferociously” can literally blow her plot out of place.
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder follows plucky heroine Pip Fitz-Amobi as she investigates a closed murder case. Pip soon finds a co-detective in Ravi Singh, whose brother was implicated in the crime.
Each clue, twist and turn in the story has been thoroughly discussed by Holly’s fans on TikTok; the hashtag for A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder – #agggtm – has more than 58,000 posts.
And the story has now been turned into a BBC drama by lead writer Poppy Cogan, with Holly serving as executive producer.
The Guardian called the series a “very modern Nancy Drew,” with fans on TikTok praising the show, stitching their reactions with clips from the new series.
The BBC spoke to Holly about the process of writing her hit novel. “Obviously, I love murder,” she says, “fictional murder.”
‘I need true crime in my ears’
Holly, 31, from Buckinghamshire, published her debut in 2019. She won a British Book Award the following year and has sold millions of copies around the world.
While her fiction fits into the young adult category, Holly does not shy away from heavier topics, like crime. Her first novel, for example, follows the disappearance and apparent murder of a school girl.
And Holly says true crime content – like the podcast Serial – became a “very useful” tool when writing A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. The structure of the book feels like a podcast, Holly says, adding: “We have transcripts of dialogue the whole time.”
In the sequel to Holly’s first book – called Good Girl, Bad Blood – Pip even creates a true crime podcast herself.
And Holly says this research tool soon seeped into her real-life. “I can’t really do anything without a true crime podcast,” she says. “If I’m walking the dog or washing the dishes, I need true crime in my ears.”
Allow TikTok content?
In the last ten years, true crime series have won international acclaim: Serial won a Peabody Award in 2015 and In The Dark – a long-form investigative journalism series – became the first podcast to win a George Polk Award in 2019. And, according to The New York Times, Serial has had more 705m downloads.
Even Holly is curious why crime is such a popular source of entertainment.
“Especially with young women,” she wonders, “is that like, an instinct in us that’s trying to protect ourselves?”
Georgia Hardstark is the co-host of My Favorite Murder, a US podcast that looks into historic and modern cases, with one episode covering the Dancing Plague of 1518 and the Paper Bag Killer.
For Georgia, part of the reason she is so interested in true crime is that it helps her feel less “paranoid” and validates her anxieties about life, she explains.
“That is at the forefront of my mind, constantly, you know, ‘What’s around the next corner? Are my doors locked?'”
‘I know who the murderer is’
For Holly, the line between fact and fiction is clearly drawn: unlike true crime cases, she always knows “the ending before I even write the first sentence”.
“I knew from the get-go who the murderer was going to be, this whole setup,” she says. “The slightly more complicated thing is not working out the mystery – it’s working out how Pip is going to solve the mystery.”
In A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, for example, Pip uses her Extended Project Qualification – an accreditation where a student independently researches a given topic – to interview suspects and keep track of clues for the case.
BBC/Moonage/Sally MaisWhile Holly uses true crime as a “jumping off” point for research, she notes the content, often used as a source of entertainment, is “obviously, about real life people’s trauma”.
Jessica Jarlvi – a “Scandi-noir” writer and lecturer on the University of Cambridge’s Crime and Thriller Writing course – says things like true crime podcasts risk sensationalising these events.
“It just puts me off,” she says, “whereas in fiction, you don’t have to worry about that.”
In Georgia’s view, however, ignoring real-life crime – often with women victims – “is to sweep it under the rug”.
‘I don’t have passive readers’
Modern crime readers are “becoming more and more demanding”, Jessica adds.
Holly agrees: “I don’t have those passive readers, I have the really active ones who are looking to solve the mystery.”
On TikTok, fans of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder share videos with their predictions and suspect lists as they read along with the book.
In one video, a reader guides people on how to annotate the book to keep track, colour co-ordinating sections into “clues” and “conflicts”.
“It makes me have to up my game a bit more,” Holly says.

The famed Buck Owens Crystal Palace, where music legends including Willie Nelson, Dwight Yoakam, Garth Brooks and a young Taylor Swift have played, is up for sale, with the foundation that runs the Bakersfield venue planning to list it for $7 million on Monday.
The nightclub, museum and steakhouse was owned by its namesake Buck Owens, the country music trailblazer who bucked the slick commercial melodies of Nashville for a distinctly West Coast twang. Owens opened the Crystal Palace in 1996, watching it become a premier venue for the biggest names in country music, including himself. Buck and the Buckaroos played there every Friday and Saturday night until his death in 2006.
Jim Shaw, a member of the Buckaroos and a director of the Buck Owens Private Foundation, said that after 28 years of running the famed venue, the Owens family plans to step back and find new owners amid a challenging business climate. The foundation said in a statement that “since Buck’s passing in 2006, we’ve tried to maintain the excellence that he expected, even as it became more and more difficult during these challenging times of increasing food and labor costs.”
The venue is not closing and scheduled events will continue as planned, Shaw said.
“It’s business as usual for now,” Shaw said. “Ideally, someone who wants to keep it exactly as it is will come forward.”
Owens’ youngest son, Johnny Owens, wrote on Facebook that the family’s hope “is that a buyer steps forward with a vision for the future and a reverence” for his father and the Bakersfield Sound.
The Crystal Palace, located on Buck Owens Boulevard, is a major tourism staple for Bakersfield. The 18,000-square-foot venue is next to the city’s downtown entrance.
“It’s the No. 1 tourist attraction in Bakersfield,” Shaw said. “There are people stepping forward and we are waiting to see what happens. I am getting a lot of phone calls. I’m anxious to see what happens.”
A second local radio host on Saturday told ABC News that he was provided a list of questions in advance of his interview with President Joe Biden this week.
“Yes, I was given some questions for Biden,” Earl Ingram of CivicMedia told ABC News. Ingram, a prominent host of a Wisconsin radio station, interviewed Biden this week in the wake of his debate performance.
Ingram said he was given five questions and ended up asking four of them.
“I didn’t get a chance to ask him all the things I wanted to ask,” he said.
Ingram is the second interviewer who now says they were provided questions by Biden aides to ask the president this week. Earlier today, another local radio host who interviewed Biden this week told CNN she was given questions to ask Biden before the interview.
“We do not condition interviews on acceptance of these questions, and hosts are always free to ask the questions they think will best inform their listeners,” the Biden campaign told ABC News on Saturday.
Ingram told ABC he didn’t see anything necessarily wrong with the practice. “To think that I was gonna get an opportunity to ask any question to the President of the United States, I think, is a bit more than anybody should expect,” he said.
He continued that he was grateful for the opportunity to interview Biden at all.
“Certainly the fact that they gave me this opportunity … meant a lot to me,” Ingram said.

On CNN earlier today, Andrea Lawful-Sanders, the host of WURD’s “The Source,” said Biden officials provided her with a list of eight questions ahead of their interview with Biden.
“The questions were sent to me for approval; I approved of them,” she said.
“I got several questions — eight of them,” she continued. “And the four that were chosen were the ones that I approved.”
Responding to Lawful-Sanders, Biden campaign spokesperson Lauren Hitt said in a statement that it’s not “uncommon” for interviewees to share topics they would prefer. She noted that Lawful-Sanders was “free” to ask any questions she saw fit. She also noted that it was the campaign who sent over the questions and not the White House as other reports claim.
Lawful-Sanders did note in her interview with CNN that she ultimately “approved” the questions provided.
“It’s not at all an uncommon practice for interviewees to share topics they would prefer. These questions were relevant to news of the day – the president was asked about this debate performance as well as what he’d delivered for black Americans,” the statement said.
“We do not condition interviews on acceptance of these questions, and hosts are always free to ask the questions they think will best inform their listeners. In addition to these interviews, the President also participated in a press gaggle yesterday as well as an interview with ABC. Americans have had several opportunities to see him unscripted since the debate.”
A source familiar with the Biden booking operation told ABC News that moving forward they will “refrain” from offering suggested questions to interviewers.
“While interview hosts have always been free to ask whatever questions they please, moving forward we will refrain from offering suggested questions.”
