It has been subtle, but the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/american-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American</a> public has spent a little too much time shoveling adulation onto the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/royal-family" target="_blank" rel="noopener">British Royal Family</a> in recent years. We&#8217;re American citizens, not British subjects for Pete&#8217;s sake. We fought and won a war to get away from those across the pond, but for some reason, certain sects of society are obsessed with Harry and Meghan, the late Queen, and everything else related to Buckingham Palace.
That&#8217;s why <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/boston-celtics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston Celtics</a> interim head coach Joe Mazzulla offered such a fantastic response when a reporter asked what it meant to him to have Prince William and Princess Kate in attendance for the team&#8217;s Wednesday night game against The Heat in Boston.
&#8220;A non-basketball question: did you get a chance to meet with the Royal family and if not, how was it like having them there in the building?&#8221; a reporter asked following the team&#8217;s victory.
&#8220;Jesus, Mary, and Joseph?&#8221; Mazzulla deadpanned back.
&#8220;The Prince and Princess of Wales,&#8221; she responded with a laugh.
&#8220;Oh, no I did not, I&#8217;m only familiar with one Royal family,&#8221; he answered. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know too much about that one. Thank you, but hopefully, they&#8217;re Celtic fans.&#8221;
As one Twitter user said, &#8220;The written words didn’t do this clip of Joe Mazzulla justice.&#8221; The all-American response can be seen here:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

For that answer, Mazzulla is an American hero. Celtics player Jaylen Brown also wasn&#8217;t too star-struck by the Brits.
&#8220;It was just a regular game to me,&#8221; he responded when asked about their appearance.
Similarly, Boston fans — a city full of many Irish descendants — promptly erupted in &#8220;USA!&#8221; chants when the couple was shown on the teleprompter:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Crowds chant “USA, USA” as William and Kate attend basketball game" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/l7AFUoAjeCU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The English, of course, have not treated the Irish too kindly over the centuries — to put it lightly.
Clearly, leadership in Boston starts at the top with Mazzulla. What&#8217;s better than an American basketball team named in honor of the Irish — and its fans — not giving one iota of thought toward the British Monarchy?
Though I would add there is at least one other royal that Americans care about: Elvis Presley — The King of Rock and Roll.
In the spirit of American patriotism, here are some Team USA highlights of Celtics legend Larry Bird:

Remember former first lady <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/michelle-obama" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michelle Obama</a>&#8216;s newfound pride in America as her husband was gaining popularity in the 2008 presidential election? Well, it didn&#8217;t really last long as she apparently thought Americans were still a bunch of bigots, despite Barack getting elected.
Throughout her time in office, it appears she was so worried that America was such a racist nation that even her hairdo choice could doom her husband&#8217;s legislative goals if she chose the wrong style.
“As black women, we deal with it, the whole thing about do you show up with your natural hair,&#8221; Obama said during an event with Hollywood celebrity Ellen DeGeneres this week. &#8220;As first lady, I did not wear braids. Being the first &#8230; yeah, we had to ease up on the people. Cause I thought about it. I was like, it would be easier. Nope, nope. They’re not ready.”

Despite her husband dominating the 2008 election and <a href="https://www.fec.gov/resources/cms-content/documents/tables2008.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">receiving</a> 69,498,516 votes, she was still concerned that braided hair would block his healthcare reform bill from passing.
&#8220;Let me keep my hair straight,&#8221; the Martha&#8217;s Vineyard summer resident <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/3738022-michelle-obama-says-she-had-ease-nation-into-a-first-lady-with-black-hair-let-me-keep-my-hair-straight-lets-get-health-care-passed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recalled</a> thinking. &#8220;Let’s get health care passed.&#8221;
Of course, there have been historical instances of racial discrimination due to hairstyle choice, but the idea that America would be so racist the first lady&#8217;s hair would stop Obamacare from being forced down the American people&#8217;s throats is a bit laughable.
In the last 35 years of politics, there have been only two memorable hairstyle choices that critics have used to lambast their opponents.
The first is former President Donald J. Trump. For some reason, Leftists love saying he wears a toupee, but it seems to be his real hair. Admittedly, it is pretty mesmerizing and unique in American politics.
Then there is that mop-headed rapscallion and disgraced ex-Governor Rod Blagojevich (D-IL). He&#8217;s a pretty charming crook if we&#8217;re being objective.
Other than that, this author is hard-pressed to think of what anybody else&#8217;s hair looks like let alone Michelle Obama&#8217;s.
For example, Ketanji Brown-Jackson was recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/im-not-a-biologist-supreme-court-nominee-says-she-cant-define-the-word-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> to the Supreme Court of the United States as the first black female Supreme Court justice.
The only thing that stuck out from her approval process in the U.S. senate was the fact that she couldn&#8217;t define the word &#8220;woman.&#8221;
Readers likely didn&#8217;t notice that she was wearing braids. Why would they? Who really cares?
Obama&#8217;s ignorance and — shall we say — bull crap was eclipsed by her claim that the worst thing about her husband&#8217;s time in office was when he chose to wear a tan suit.
The first lady claimed that conservative criticism of the suit proved doing anything beyond straight hair would drive animosity.
&#8220;The great indignity, the scandal of the Obama administration,&#8221; she said of the incident.
Of course, the reaction at the time could have been a little overblown, perhaps on par with the leftist <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/11/politics/trump-time-magazine-ice-cream" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meltdown</a> that former Trump would give himself two scoops of ice cream while his guests only received one.
The second thing is that the Obama administration was <a href="https://www.carolinacoastonline.com/news_times/opinions/editorials/article_574cf49e-d2b8-11e6-8960-ab7b13d83409.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">riddled</a> with scandals. The IRS targeting of conservatives, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, spying on the media, &#8220;If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor,&#8221; and the beginning of the Russian collusion hoax.
Yet that&#8217;s par for the course for the Left. They often ignore the obvious if they can make themselves out to be a victim.
Plus, as pointed out by columnist Derek Hunter, braids aren&#8217;t even natural.
&#8220;Braids aren&#8217;t natural, plus the idea of braiding hair was common throughout Europe centuries ago, so it would have been cultural appropriation,&#8221; Hunter tweeted.

Remember that classic movie &#8220;Groundhog Day&#8221; with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bill-murray" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Murray</a>? Murray&#8217;s character, Phil Connors, is stuck in a time loop and hears the same stories and quotes from his acquaintances day in and day out, ad nauseam.
That&#8217;s a bit of what <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Joe Biden</a>&#8216;s presidency is like for all Americans. The man just can&#8217;t help but repeat the same tired lines, day in and day out.
Wednesday night, Biden again <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-calling-for-americans-to-unite-demonizes-republicans-as-a-threat-to-democracy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a> that &#8220;MAGA Republicans&#8221; are threatening democracy. It was a standard rehash of his<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-soul-of-joe-bidens-america-is-dark-as-hell" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> September 1 speech</a> of the same nature: You&#8217;re either with me or you&#8217;re against democracy. 
On Tuesday, Biden again <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/biden-blasted-blaming-high-inflation-war-iraq-confusion-son-died-sad" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> that his son, Beau, died in Iraq. He didn&#8217;t. Beau passed away six years after he left Iraq. Yet the president has made that claim so often that <a href="https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/joe-biden/beau-biden-died-brain-cancer-after-iraq-military-service-fact-check/536-710272fb-97ce-4f4d-8c64-e8162d881d48" target="_blank" rel="noopener">even fact-checkers</a> have labeled it as not true.
Due to his policies that discourage fossil fuel investment, gas prices have skyrocketed and the price of a gas per gallon is currently $1.38 higher than the day Biden took office. His unnecessary spending has also contributed to inflation overall.
Rather than admit his failure, Biden has blamed <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-days-midterms-accuses-oil-companies-war-profiteering/story?id=92445650" target="_blank" rel="noopener">everybody from Big Oil companies</a> to <a href="https://www.politico.com/video/2022/05/10/biden-shifts-blame-on-inflation-and-gas-prices-to-maga-republicans-573001" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Republicans</a> to OPEC for expensive fuel and other commodities. The trouble, Biden seems to think, is that Russian President Vladimir Putin&#8217;s war in Ukraine has put pressure on the industry, thus driving high prices.
The only problem with Biden&#8217;s sorry Ukraine excuse is that in the fall of 2021, gas prices were already high.
How could a war that had yet to start be the cause of that economic misery?
Then, of course, there is the litany of bogus tall tales Biden loves to say to gin up empathy and pretend to be in touch with the common man.
If you ask Biden, he went to a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwLGh5FkmgY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">historically black college</a>, played <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/fact-check-bidens-too-tall-football-tale-flna1c6504609" target="_blank" rel="noopener">varsity college football</a>, taught classes at the <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/02/19/biden-says-he-was-professor-touting-1m-gig-with-few-visits/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Pennsylvania</a>, was arrested for protesting civil rights, and used to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-tells-the-story-of-big-mama-and-repeats-false-claim-he-used-to-drive-a-truck" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drive a truck</a>.
None of that is true, but Biden retells those anecdotes every so often.
To really display the lunacy behind Biden&#8217;s fables, the popular Twitter account Maze created a must-see video of the president recounting a classic tale of how a former Amtrak employee named Angelo Negri pinched Biden&#8217;s cheek and told him he had ridden anywhere between 1 million and 2.5 million miles on the train service.
The only problem is that Negri died in 2014 and retired in 1993. There is no evidence the incident ever occurred, much less evidence to back up Biden&#8217;s mileage.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The thing is that Biden started these fibs well before there were any other signs of mental decline. So, to some extent, senility is out of the question.
Yet, Biden seems completely unaware that he has told the stories before and that he has repeatedly been called out for his lies.
Even The New York Times has become critical of the president.
In this scenario, Biden is not the main character of &#8220;Groundhog Day,&#8221; but one of the side characters completely oblivious to the fact that he has said and done these things before.
The rest of America is Murray, waking up to realize that the country is frozen in time, living the same day over and over again with Biden as president. The only thing different is that we don&#8217;t get to reawake each day on Biden&#8217;s inauguration day January 21, 2021, <a href="https://www.eia.gov/pressroom/radio/transcript/gasoline_price_01212021_short.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">when gas was $2.40</a> and everything was much cheaper.

The central political crisis of our time is not the debt, Hunter Biden’s laptop, or even inflation — it is the weakening state of the American Family and the democratic decay accompanying. Crime, loneliness, a declining birthrate and much more signal a society that no longer knows how to use its freedom in a meaningful manner, tragically conflating freedom with nihilism and individualism with hedonism.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/whatever-maxine-says-i-agree-with-biden-speaks-of-hard-left-maxine-waters">Our president’s</a> use of a particular “F-word” is humorous because he seems to do it at the most inopportune times — while <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHKq9tt50O8">introducing President Obama</a> during a White House celebration of the passage of the Affordable Care Act or on a recent trip to Florida to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32L1qmI8ZWg">view the damage</a> in the wake of Hurricane Ian.
It’s good for a chuckle and little else.
And yet, the most important three words in the modern political lexicon are very different “F-words:” freedom, family, and fortitude. The necessity of appreciating the interplay among the three is not just good social science and a prerequisite for crafting wise statecraft, but is especially relevant to our current national dialogue as traditional conservatives continue to lose faith in the basic tenets of the classical liberal tradition.
Almost every <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/homicides-hit-hollywood-as-los-angeles-scrambles-to-control-crime">damning headline</a> about how broken and unhappy our society has become in the past decade — <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/20/nyregion/loneliness-epidemic.html">lonely</a>, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/11/us/politics/overdose-deaths-fentanyl-meth.html">addicted</a>, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/12/business/economy/labor-participation-covid.html">jobless</a>, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/20/opinion/marriage-decline-america.html">single</a>, uneducated, incarcerated — can somehow be traced to the modern reality of freedom becoming unmoored from virtue and liberty, degenerating into unapologetic orgies of licentiousness. Or, to put it another way, America the nation has become fundamentally broken because American citizens fundamentally do not know how to use their freedom.
To be blunt: this modern form of democratic decay is nothing less than the central and animating issue of our time—not the national debt, not Hunter Biden’s laptop, or even temporary inflation. A nation dedicated to freedom, whose paramount virtue is individual liberty and the celebration of robust individualism, cannot endure, much less thrive, when millions of its citizens do not use their freedom in a meaningful, productive, or worthy manner.
From communist authoritarians to Wahhabis clerics, a frequent critique of the West is that it is fundamentally hollow at its core, exalting freedom without answering the underlying question, “Free to do, what, exactly?” A regime that cannot answer this question is one that is prone to conflate freedom with nihilism and individualism with hedonism. It takes claims of equality much too far, celebrating a diversification of value systems that are decidedly destructive of both individual lives and the broader social fabric.
Distorted liberty and radical egalitarianism are how we arrive at a place in our politics where our commitment to freedom is absolute, almost to the point of being thoroughly unhinged, where commitments of any variety — familial, communal, fraternal, moral—are anathema to the modern sensibility. It explains why marriage is passe and parenthood is being abandoned. It illuminates why students frown when religion is even mentioned and how terms like “body autonomy” become a verbal talisman. It is why we rush to decriminalize felony offenses at the same time we convince ourselves that moral judgement is to be avoided at all costs. We fetishize the self and demonize the institutions, relationships, and commitments that allow the self to flourish.
This is the central paradox of the American Experiment and it is causing many of the Right to lose faith in the founding philosophy of the country. In the middle of the last century, two philosophic heavyweights of the West, Leo Strauss and Alexandre Kojeve, engaged in a spirited debate about classical philosophy, historicism and Hegel. But today the most fascinating debate in our particular era is an intra-party squabble between a newfangled conservatism that views liberalism as inherently hostile to family, faith, community, and thus civilizations itself, versus traditional American conservatives who want to conserve the society imagined by the likes of Thomas Jefferson and John Stuart Mill. 
This is where the next “F-words,” family and fortitude, are central to understanding our problematic moment in history. 
Freedom is our highest value, and yet, it is in our most intimate attachments, family, where we learn how to use our freedom in ways that nourish the elements of life beyond self-interest, narrow ambition, or petty indulgences. The advocates of classical liberalism famously asserted that humans are naturally free, and yet nature does not bequeath the knowledge or fortitude to use freedom so that it results in human flourishing.
Family life and the emotional fortitude it provides is the God Particle of liberalized society, imbuing future citizens with the substance of individual constraint and illuminating the parameters of how free citizens should behave in both the private and public realms of life. Aristotle recognized that the family unit is a political unit — structured with rules, roles, consequences, and duties. Learning how to live and thrive in families is a dress rehearsal for our behavior in broader society.
Look around our schools and our cities and it quickly becomes apparent what happens when children are reared in situations with little to no family stability or structure. The socialization that teaches children how to be free and the adult relationships that model it are simply missing from their lived experiences.
 Mountains of research confirm time and time again that the best predictor of educational success, economic mobility, and avoiding destructive behaviors is the family structure of children. Progressives prattle endlessly about race and gender and sexual orientation. The “Post-Liberal Right” wants to blame modernity itself. 
But the problem isn’t white privilege or John Locke. The problem is the utter decline of coherent and stable family life for young Americans desperately in need of guidance who often live with a struggling parent, or a parent battling substance abuse, or a parent who brings new men into the household but who are temporary father figures, at best.
A revitalized conservative movement doesn’t need to replace classical liberalism. It needs to support it with the weight of tradition and the authority of wisdom. Policies that serve these ends could be the next chapter in the conservative movement, understanding that revitalization is not a function of spending money, but of strengthening the families that make us strong.

In the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cult-classic</a> &#8220;Stripes,&#8221; the late, great, heavyweight actor John Candy told his fellow &#8220;recruits&#8221; that he joined the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-army" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Army</a> so he could lose a few pounds and &#8220;walk out of there a lean-mean fighting machine.&#8221;
Now, that same fitness plan could soon be a reality for millions of obese Americans looking to serve the good ol&#8217; U-S-of-A. According to several reports, the Army is <a href="https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/10/12/no-more-tape-test-only-soldiers-crush-fitness-test.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">considering</a> dropping certain weight limits for recruits so long as he or she is able to pass the physical fitness test with flying colors.
Per Military.com, &#8220;Soldiers who score at least a 540 on the <a href="https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/09/29/armys-new-fitness-test-here-real-time-no-seriously-its-future-uncertain.html">Army Combat Fitness Test, or ACFT</a>, will be exempt from having their body fat measured.&#8221; The highest score possible on the fitness test is 600.
It is possible to be physically fit, albeit plus size — take any NFL lineman, for instance. It would be very difficult, as the physical fitness test is still challenging, but in theory, an obese person could skip the &#8220;tape test&#8221; if they crush everything else.
The potential plan — which could allow larger recruits to avoid a potential obstacle to training — comes as a beleaguered military is struggling to figure out why recruitment is down across the board.
Writing in The Wall Street Journal, Jimmy Byrne <a href="https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/what-if-they-gave-a-war-and-everybody-was-woke-military-recruitment-crt-training-obesity-reading-labor-market-11659108526" target="_blank" rel="noopener">observed</a> in June that “Nearly every branch has struggled to meet its recruitment goals for 2022, with some falling as short as 40%. Worse yet, only about a quarter of America’s youth meet current eligibility standards — and recent surveys show only 9% are even interested.”
As pointed out by Byrne, one explanation could be the &#8220;wholesale embrace of woke politics.”
Of course, if you ask anybody in the Biden administration — such as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-did-lizzo-go-from-being-oppressed-to-playing-james-madisons-flute-while-twerking" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Army Secretary Christine Wormuth</a> — there&#8217;s no woke politics in the military — just diversity, inclusion, and equity (DIE) training.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In other words, the geniuses in Biden&#8217;s Pentagon cannot figure out why Americans are not interested in a military that mandates DIE-ing.
Earlier in 2022, the Army also ditched a gender- and age-neutral physical fitness test. That means women and older recruits have different requirements for physical fitness than men and younger Americans do.
In addition to woke Americans, other branches such as the Air Force have also been encouraging expectant mothers to sign up for the fight.
In September, the Air Force announced that it &#8220;has updated a policy to allow women, both enlisted and civilian, to apply and compete for an Officer Training School commission while pregnant.&#8221;
“We’re in a race for talent, and our policies need to reflect that,” Under Secretary of the Air Force Gina Ortiz Jones <a href="https://www.airandspaceforces.com/pregnant-candidates-can-now-apply-to-air-force-officer-training-school-without-a-waiver/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement. &#8220;This policy change will ensure we’re able to fully tap into the talent amongst our force as well as those looking to join us.&#8221;
It does not seem wise to have a military full of leftist pregnant women, but could it really be so bad if a bunch of folks like &#8220;Ox&#8221; in &#8220;Stripes&#8221; join the Army?

It now seems that any time <a href="http://dailywire.com/news/shows-you-what-his-priorities-are-blake-masters-hits-mark-kelly-for-backing-bidens-irs-buildup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Joe Biden</a> gets behind a microphone, he makes a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/libs-defend-biden-hes-not-out-of-it-he-just-doesnt-really-care" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vocal error</a> that leaves the world scratching its head.
For example, on Friday, Biden displayed his inability to properly count words when he told an elated Maryland crowd, &#8220;Let me start off with two words &#8230; Made in America.&#8221;
Unless you were taught woke math, which teaches 2+2 is racist, his mistake is obvious. Despite that, the crowd lapped it up and applauded.
His unfortunate error can be seen here:

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The purpose of the speech was to discuss Biden&#8217;s economic policy and his goal to increase manufacturing. It&#8217;s pretty similar to former President Donald J. Trump&#8217;s rhetoric, which was also focused on making more things in America and buying American. For that sort of belief, Trump was <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2017/01/30/theres-a-dark-side-to-buy-american/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> &#8220;racist&#8221; by columnists in The Washington Post.
Biden doesn&#8217;t get that criticism, and so instead of the original &#8220;Make American Great Again,&#8221; or MAGA, we&#8217;re left with Biden&#8217;s cheap imitation, &#8220;Building A Better America&#8221; or BABA. More on that can be found <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/energy-dependent-bidens-baba-is-a-cheap-maga-knock-off" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.
As discussed extensively,  it would appear that the president is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/question-if-joe-biden-were-your-dad-would-you-let-him-live-on-his-own" target="_blank" rel="noopener">losing his marbles</a>.
At least it seems that way until you remember that Biden has always been full of hot air.
The online publication, The Hill, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/3674171-gop-seizes-on-biden-gaffes-to-attack-competence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reminded</a> Americans of that reality just this past week in an article titled, &#8220;GOP seizes on Biden gaffes to attack competence.&#8221;
The &#8220;news&#8221; article was presumably meant to defend Biden, but wound up insulting his intelligence and missed the point of critics&#8217; attacks.
After discussing recent errors such as the all-too-common mistake of failing to remember a dead congresswoman, numerous Republicans have wondered whether or not the president is actually senile.
There is a lot of evidence for that suspicion, but The Hill tried to explain it away.
&#8220;Biden was making gaffes before his age was a political issue,&#8221; The Hill wrote before providing two examples:
<blockquote>
<blockquote>As a presidential candidate in 2007, then-Sen. Biden apologized after describing then. Sen. Barack Obama as “the first mainstream African American” presidential candidate “who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”
As Obama’s vice president in 2010, Biden was caught on a hot mic saying the passage of health care reform was a “big f—ing deal.”</blockquote>
</blockquote>
The outlet added, &#8220;But today’s gaffes are being used by Republicans to question Biden’s competency, given his age.&#8221;
Of course, the concerns regarding Biden&#8217;s cognitive ability, or lack thereof, have more to do with the fact that Biden is now the commander-in-chief. His mistakes are alarming because they could produce chaos if made at the wrong time — especially at a time when we would be inching toward nuclear war.
Still though, as Charlie Spiering of Breitbart said, Biden once thoughts the word &#8220;jobs&#8221; only had three letters.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Joe Biden &quot;J-O-B-S&quot; is a 3 letter word?" width="500" height="375" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BBHPvfAt5ow?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
So the real question is, has Biden actually been suffering the early stages of dementia in recent years, or is he simply being the same, gaffe-prone Biden that he has always been?
The answer, of course, is that those two options aren&#8217;t mutually exclusive.

Made In America, Biden

Biden: ‘Two Words: Made In America’

Biden: 'Two Words: Made In America'

America First

Former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/trump-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Donald J. Trump</a> had his motto “Make America Great Again (MAGA).” President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> has the knock-off “Building a Better America (BABA).”
BABA sounds similar to MAGA, but like most phony imitations, Biden’s plan for America relies on foreign goods and services. Similar to the effect that off-shoring American manufacturing to places such as China had on consumer products, BABA has resulted in — to put it bluntly — crappy solutions that fall apart under the slightest bit of pressure.
This is true in nearly every sector of his administration, but perhaps most noticeably with America’s energy independence, or lack thereof.
During Trump&#8217;s term, he envisioned a country where we relied on our own natural resources. America was a prosperous, energy-rich nation. In 2019, America produced and exported more oil than at <a href="https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/articles/president-trump-is-restoring-american-energy-dominance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">any time since the 50s</a>.
Under Biden, it is clear that America is reliant on foreign nations for our fossil fuel needs.
After <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-pain-is-the-point-energy-secretary-blasted-after-saying-summer-gas-prices-were-going-to-be-rough" target="_blank" rel="noopener">campaigning and governing</a> on ending the American oil industry as we know it, Biden reportedly begged OPEC+ to increase its oil supply in July. Despite a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fist-bump-fail-biden-scrambling-before-midterms-after-opec-cuts-oil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fistbump and smile for the Saudi crowned prince,</a> OPEC+ announced Wednesday that it would soon start cutting two million barrels of oil.
What did Biden do in response? His team went into scramble mode, and the only immediate solution they could think of was <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/biden-release-10m-more-barrels-strategic-petroleum-reserve-november-wake-opec-cuts">tapping even more oil</a> from America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Biden has been using America’s emergency supply to keep the price of gasoline artificially “low” since November 2021.
That’s what BABA gets; here’s what MAGA got you when dealing with OPEC+.
In 2020, Trump was able to convince OPEC+ to cut oil production when it threatened to ramp it up, thus creating dangerously low gas prices that could have tanked the economy during the pandemic. Trump told Saudi Arabia he would take away key military aid if they dared to do so. They didn&#8217;t.
Here&#8217;s how the Left-leaning Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-global-oil-trump-saudi-specialreport/special-report-trump-told-saudi-cut-oil-supply-or-lose-u-s-military-support-sources-idUSKBN22C1V4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">relayed</a> the story:
<blockquote>
The threat to upend a 75-year strategic alliance, which has not been previously reported, was central to the U.S. pressure campaign that led to a landmark global deal to slash oil supply as demand collapsed in the coronavirus pandemic &#8211; scoring a diplomatic victory for the White House.
</blockquote>
Now, America&#8217;s oil reserve is at <a href="https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/article266578691.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">record low levels</a>. OPEC+ is eating Biden’s lunch.
There actually is another course of action Ol&#8217; Joe is trying.
Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-energy-sec-laughs-then-says-u-s-at-mercy-of-opec-crenshaw-fires-our-us-energy-secretary-is-a-joke-and-a-liar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">once laughed</a> at the idea of producing more American oil, so Biden has apparently decided to do the next best thing he could think of.
Perhaps in anticipation of OPEC+ failing him, his team released two Venezuelan prisoners during an exchange last week. Now, he is reportedly preparing to kowtow to the Maduro regime in the Latin American country even more.
Rather than incentivize increasing domestic oil supply, the current administration is <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/commodities/oil-us-opec-relax-venezuela-sanctions-output-cut-chevron-pump-2022-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> preparing to relax sanctions so that Chevron can tap into La Tierra de Gracia’s land, thus enriching Venezuela’s socialist regime in the process.
No Bueno. All BABA.
There are other instances where BABA has failed. America is still <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/10/05/president-biden-announces-twenty-sixth-operation-fly-formula-mission/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">relying on allies</a> to send in air supplies of baby formula, for example.
Yet as winter and midterms approach, the area where BABA&#8217;s disastrous results most hurt Americans is clearly at the tank and in heating their homes. BABA might be a cheap imitator of MAGA, but the end product sure is expensive.

A Pew Research study has projected that America&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/christianity">Christian</a> population could drop below 50% by 2070 based on current trends.
The study modeled four scenarios representing different rates of change to predict that the nation&#8217;s most-common religion could represent less than half the nation&#8217;s population over the next generation.
&#8220;Depending on whether religious switching continues at recent rates, speeds up or stops entirely, the projections show Christians of all ages shrinking from 64% to between a little more than half (54%) and just above one-third (35%) of all Americans by 2070,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2022/09/13/modeling-the-future-of-religion-in-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> reported.
&#8220;Over that same period, &#8216;nones&#8217; would rise from the current 30% to somewhere between 34% and 52% of the U.S. population,&#8221; it added.
As of 2020, the Pew Center estimated that about 64% of Americans are affiliated as Christian. People identifying as &#8220;nones&#8221; or religiously unaffiliated included 30% of the population, with other religious groups, such as Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists, representing the other 6%.
The largest shift in the projections reveals an increase in those religiously unaffiliated who previously identified as Christian. According to the study, as recently as the 1990s, about 90% of American adults identified Christianity as their religion.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
As recently as the 1990s, about 90% of U.S. adults identified as Christians. This figure has declined to about two-thirds of adults. This change is largely the result of large numbers of adults switching out of Christianity to become unaffiliated. <a href="https://t.co/VBjNhp2XgP">https://t.co/VBjNhp2XgP</a> <a href="https://t.co/F8Igx2awwt">pic.twitter.com/F8Igx2awwt</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The analysis of the polling material also noted that while most people do not change their religious identity, those who do typically make the change between the ages of 15-29. Since the 1990s, the Pew Center has also noticed a trend of Americans 30-65 also no longer affiliating as Christian.
Despite the downward trajectory, the researchers noted that the projections are estimates that remain uncertain in the decades ahead.
&#8220;Though some scenarios are more plausible than others, the future is uncertain, and it is possible for the religious composition of the United States in 2070 to fall outside the ranges projected,&#8221; the researchers noted.
The pattern in the U.S. may potentially follow the path some Western European nations have experienced in recent years, according to the study. In the United Kingdom, those religiously unaffiliated (or &#8220;nones&#8221;) <a href="https://www.bsa.natcen.ac.uk/media/39293/1_bsa36_religion.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">surpassed Christianity</a> to become the largest group in 2009, ranking at 52%. Those identifying as Christians fell to just 38%.
The study follows a <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/393737/belief-god-dips-new-low.aspx?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=newsletter_axiosam&amp;stream=top" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gallup survey</a> in June that found the number of Americans who say they believe in God has dropped to the lowest level in the nearly 80 years the organization has asked the question.
Just 81% of U.S. adults in the study said they believe in God. The response rate was 6% lower than the survey just five years earlier.
&#8220;Belief in God has fallen the most in recent years among young adults and people on the left of the political spectrum (liberals and Democrats). These groups show drops of 10 or more percentage points comparing the 2022 figures to an average of the 2013-2017 polls,&#8221; the Gallup survey revealed.
&#8220;Most other key subgroups have experienced at least a modest decline, although conservatives and married adults have had essentially no change,&#8221; it added.
The study also documented steep drops in church attendance, membership, and overall confidence in organized religion, further suggesting the changing nature of religious practices in America.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kanye-west" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kanye West</a> said he plans on terminating the deal between his Yeezy clothing brand and shoemaker Adidas, in part over the company&#8217;s ties to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/communist-china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">China</a>.
In an interview with CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Closing Bell&#8221; on Thursday, West, who also goes by the moniker Ye, discussed his decision to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/marisadellatto/2022/09/12/kanye-west-leaving-adidas-and-gap-partnerships-once-contracts-expire-he-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">terminate</a> his partnership with the shoe brand over complaints that Adidas left him out of the development process and unfairly copied his ideas. The rapper and fashion designer also blasted Adidas for their ties to Chinese manufacturing, and said that he wants to manufacture his products in America.
&#8220;This is the day of liberation right here,&#8221; West said. &#8220;This is the day to not be just valued on my cash flow, to be valued on the equity that we bring. You know, we’ve seen the influence that we’ve had on two Fortune 500 companies. Also a lot of stuff they [Adidas] have commitments to China, and [we] wanted to do localized manufacturing, which is completely possible with some of the factories that I’m buying here in California, we can actually bring industry back to America.&#8221;
&#8220;I feel that in a lot of ways, Europe has been the head of prestige, with the luxury brands and luxury vehicles, and China has been the head of manufacturing,&#8221; Ye added. &#8220;But America, we invented rock and roll, we are the most inventive. We are the youngest startup ever, America itself, so, you know, we invented Apple, we invented Ford, and now we have Yeezy here.&#8221;

West has taken much more of an interest in manufacturing his apparel in the U.S. recently. His <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/adidas-yeezy-foam-runner-gets-153821635.html#:~:text=Both%20of%20the%20individuals%20also,is%20dressed%20with%20natural%20dyes.&amp;text=The%20Adidas%20Yeezy%20Foam%20Runner%20%E2%80%9CDesert%20Sand%E2%80%9D%20makeup%20will%20be,and%20at%20select%20Adidas%20retailers." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yeezy Foam Runner</a>, released earlier this year, is made of natural materials and is the first Yeezy shoe to be made in the United States.
Ye also expressed support for Texas-based San Antonio Shoemakers on Instagram in early September. In now-deleted Instagram posts, West complained about Adidas allegedly re-releasing old shoes, coloring and naming them without his permission, and stealing his designs, the <a href="https://www.kens5.com/article/money/business/kanye-san-antonio-shoemakers-ye-posts-sas-logo-instagram-after-saying-he-wants-control-of-shoe-company/273-f936a6ec-46e3-4a94-b2d1-c713f11fe34a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">local news outlet KENS 5 reported</a>. West then posted screenshots of the SAS logo and Wikipedia page with the caption, &#8220;:),&#8221; prompting speculation that he may want to work with the San Antonio-based brand, which manufactures the overwhelming majority of its shoes at factories in San Antonio and Del Rio, Texas.
Elsewhere in the interview, West blasted both Adidas and clothing retailer <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/15/kanye-west-ye-yeezy-terminates-deal-with-gap-over-alleged-contract-violations.html?&amp;qsearchterm=kanye%20west" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gap</a> for alleged underhanded business dealing that cut him out of the development process. &#8220;They were doing color ways, they were naming things, they were sending guys in, telling me, &#8216;Don’t tell your audience you didn’t name that,’” West said of Adidas. &#8220;They were slowing down my allotments and then copying the ideas that — some things took us two years.&#8221;
&#8220;[They] priced my stuff at like $200 and above their whole price point normally, and then did the exact [same] shirt for $20,&#8221; he said of Gap. &#8220;In the contract, they said they were going to do stores and they just ignored us about building stores ... sometimes I would talk to the leaders and it was like I was on mute or something. &#8230; Everyone knows I’m the leader, I’m the king, right. So a king can’t live in someone else’s castle. A king has to make his own castle.&#8221;
In addition to wanting to sever ties with Adidas, earlier this week, West also said he plans on terminating his partnership with Gap.

Happy Wednesday, welcome to this week&#8217;s first edition of the Midterm Exam.
We&#8217;ll start by going over some of the latest data in the Senate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/poll" target="_blank" rel="noopener">polls</a>, then jump into some juicy tidbits out of Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Colorado.
If there is a major story we don&#8217;t have covered in this exam, it likely can be found <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2022-midterms">here</a>.
Senate Polls Update
We&#8217;re seven weeks away from Election Day on November 8, and several Senate polls indicate that the GOP could pick up a few seats. Per Emerson polling, Nevada&#8217;s Republican candidate Adam Laxalt has <a href="https://emersoncollegepolling.com/nevada-2022-us-senate--gubernatorial-elections-in-statistical-dead-heat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taken</a> the lead in the Silver State over the Democratic incumbent Senator Catherine Cortez Masto. Meanwhile, Georgia&#8217;s Republican candidate Herschel Walker has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/poll-herschel-walker-increasing-lead-in-georgia-senate-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener">improved</a> to a three-point lead over the incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA). As of now, those races seem to be the most secure in terms of flipping, though it is possible that we could see Colorado flip from blue to red this cycle.
If everything else in the Senate held the same, which could happen, the GOP would retake the chamber 53-47. There are possibilities that Republicans could lose in places like Wisconsin or North Carolina. The most recent poll out of Marquette University <a href="https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/2022/09/14/evers-leads-michels-johnson-and-barnes-toss-up-race-marquette-poll-wisconsin-governor-senate/10371432002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims</a> the Badger State is a toss-up. Even if incumbent Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) or North Carolina candidate, Rep. Ted Budd lost, the GOP would still hold a 51-49 majority.
Again though, inflation and the economy <a href="https://twitter.com/TomBevanRCP/status/1570067234357231619?s=20&amp;t=xED_Ye52fgtqnzr-3I661w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remain</a> a top issue, and it doesn&#8217;t seem like Democrats will solve those problems anytime soon.
Laxalt Takes The Lead Over Cortez Masto In Nevada
As mentioned, Republican Adam Laxalt has now <a href="https://emersoncollegepolling.com/nevada-2022-us-senate--gubernatorial-elections-in-statistical-dead-heat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taken</a> the lead over Cortez Masto in new polling from Emerson College. Laxalt edged out Cortez Masto 42-41 as his polling numbers continue to trend upwards. The poll reflects the strong headwinds against Cortez Masto as she tries to hold onto her seat amid soaring inflation and an unpopular president leading her party.

Dem Senate Candidate Once Bashed America Over Climate Change At U.N.
Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes (D-WI) <a href="https://freebeacon.com/democrats/video-watch-mandela-barnes-say-world-must-stymie-capitalism-to-combat-climate-change/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">once took aim</a> at America&#8217;s economic system while speaking at a 2019 United Nations event in Spain, according to footage of the event recently published by the Washington Free Beacon.
&#8220;The simple answer is get money out of politics,&#8221; Barnes said after being asked about how lawmakers should address climate change. &#8220;The second answer is to stymie capitalism the way it is in America.&#8221;
The self-described progressive also goes on to opine about the greed of humans in the video, connecting it to gun violence.
&#8220;How greedy can humanity be? The reason why we’re in this mess is the pursuit of greed. It’s capitalism run amok, that’s why we’re in this predicament now,&#8221; Barnes said. &#8220;It’s the same reason why gun violence is so rampant in the United States of America, it’s the same reason why we deal with all these other issues that have common sense solutions.&#8221;
Meanwhile, the Senate hopeful will also be <a href="https://madison.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/mandela-barnes-getting-1m-as-sen-chuck-schumer-sending-15m-to-democratic-senate-candidates-committee/article_fdb336e2-d619-5195-a777-b337b51abd4d.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">getting an influx of cash</a> — to the tune of $1 million — from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to aid in his run against incumbent Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI).
Michels Stumps On Restoring Law And Order To The Badger State
Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels <a href="https://www.wisn.com/article/gop-candidate-for-governor-tim-michels-open-to-increased-state-funding-for-police/41198749#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared</a> at an event with the Milwaukee Police Association on Tuesday, promising to increase funding for law enforcement.
&#8220;Everywhere I go I hear crime is the number one issue for people,&#8221; Michels said while speaking in the blue enclave of Milwaukee. &#8220;If not number one, it’s number one or number two. And it is for me as well as governor. I believe there is a lot of money in the state budget – there’s $43.5 billion that are spent every year in the state budget. If we have to spend a little bit more money to make law enforcement more effective, to hire more police officers, absolutely we will do that.&#8221;
The association has endorsed Michels and he has promised to fire Milwaukee District Attorney John Chisholm, who came under fire after his office admitted it had set an &#8220;inappropriately low bail&#8221; for the man alleged to have committed the Waukesha parade attack.
Throughout the campaign, Michels has criticized incumbent Governor Tony Evers (D-WI) over his response to crime, saying the Democrat has failed to protect the state.

Democrats See GOP Candidate O’Dea As Threat In Colorado Senate Race 
Colorado Democrats are taking steps to keep Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea out of office, Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/local/denver/2022/09/14/joe-odea-cory-gardner-democratic-strategy-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;Joe O&#8217;Dea is not going to sneak past us,&#8221; Democratic strategist Ian Silverii told Axios Denver.
Liberal organizations are utilizing strategies on the ground that led to ousting Republican Colorado Senator Cory Gardner in 2020, attempting to raise support and intensity surrounding the election for voters.
GOP Colorado Senate Candidate Doesn’t Support Senator Lindsey Graham’s Abortion Bill
O’Dea <a href="https://www.denverpost.com/2022/09/13/joe-odea-lindsey-graham-abortion-bennet-senate/">said</a> this week that he would not be in favor of the recent federal legislation introduced by Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) that would prohibit abortions at 15 weeks. He is in favor of abortion in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy with further exceptions in instances of medical need, rape, and incest.
“America wants balance on the abortion issue, not a forever cold war between the far left and the far right,” O’Dea reportedly said in a statement Tuesday. “Congress should pass a bill protecting a woman’s right to choose early in pregnancy, whether a woman lives in Mississippi or Massachusetts, and there should be sensible limits on non-medically necessary late-term abortion and parental notification for minors. I don’t support Senator Graham’s bill.”

Americans across the country are remembering the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, 21 years ago. 
In New York City, the National September 11 Memorial and Museum <a href="https://abc7ny.com/september-11-attacks-ceremony-911-nyc/12214254/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hosted</a> an annual ceremony commemorating and honoring the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001. The Tribute in Light, NYC Fire Museum and Memorial Service, and Tunnel to Towers 9/11 Prayer Service are among the events that are taking place. 
“It was a terrorist attack against our country that day,” Jay Saloman, who lost his brother in the attacks, said on Sunday. “And, theoretically, everyone should remember it, and, you know, take precautions and watch out.” 
The 9/11 Memorial and Museum Commemoration Ceremony included six moments of silence, marking the exact time each of the towers was deliberately struck by hijacked airplanes, then fell to the ground, and when a third airplane hit the Pentagon, followed by the crash of United Flight 93 near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. 
Family members of the victims were invited to participate in the reading of names of those who were killed in the attacks. 
Vice President Kamala Harris <a href="https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/september-11-anniversary/new-york-city-marks-21st-anniversary-of-9-11-terror-attacks/3859856/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attended</a> the event with New York Democratic Mayor Eric Adams and former NYC Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg, though, by tradition, no political figures speak at the ground zero ceremony. 
From dusk to dawn on the night of 9/11, the <a href="https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2022/09/09/remembering-9-11-in-new-york-city" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tribute in Light</a> will be visible from a 60-mile-radius from Lower Manhattan. The tribute consists of two 48-foot squares oriented as the Twin Towers beaming lights that reach four miles into the New York City night sky.
The New York Fire Museum Memorial honored the 343 FDNY members who lost their lives during a wreath-laying ceremony. In addition, it is showcasing a new exhibit called “One Day,” which includes personal artifacts, a portrait series, and interviews from families of first responders, which will be on display until October 2. 
President Biden spoke at the Pentagon Sunday, <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/biden-honors-9-11-victims-at-pentagon-on-anniversary-of-attacks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a>, “We will never forget, we will never give up. Our commitment to preventing another attack on the United States is without end.”

Buckingham Palace shared the news Thursday that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/queen-elizabeth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queen Elizabeth II</a> had died at the age of 96. In honor of her incredible life, we took a look back at her visits to America and with U.S. presidents during her lifetime.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/queen-elizabeth">Queen</a> recently celebrated her Platinum Jubilee, marking her 70 years on the throne and making her the longest reigning monarch in British history. During that time, she&#8217;s met almost every single president since <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/queen-elizabeth-history-us-presidents/">Harry S. Truman</a>, and so many of those moments have been captured in photos that will live forever.
In October 1951, Princess Elizabeth and her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, arrived in Washington, D.C., and were welcomed by Truman. In the photo, Elizabeth is seen traveling in a motorcade, following a reception ceremony at Washington National Airport.
