Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/gwyneth-paltrow">Gwyneth Paltrow</a> confirmed a rumor about former president <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bill-clinton">Bill Clinton</a> falling asleep — and snoring — at the premiere of her period comedy film, “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies">Emma</a>” back in 1996.
The 51-year-old actress said the rumor was true during a recent appearance on the “Hot Ones” YouTube talk show where celebrity guests answer questions while consuming spicy chicken wings, per <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/gwyneth-paltrow-bill-clinton-emma-b2517000.html">The Independent</a>.
Host Sean Evans asked Paltrow if the story about Clinton was factual. She replied, “True – he was snoring right in front of me.”
Paltrow quipped, “I was like, ‘Wow, I guess this is going to be a real hit movie.’ But it was! So f*** you, Bill Clinton!”
Despite the former president’s reaction, “Emma,” based on the 1815 novel of the same name by Jane Austen, was a commercial success. It earned nearly $40 million worldwide after being made on an $8 million budget.
“Emma” has an 84% critics rating and 76% audience score on <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1073316-emma">Rotten Tomatoes</a>. Paltrow was praised for her performance, with reviewer Ken Eisner from Variety writing at the time, &#8220;Gwyneth Paltrow shines brightly as Jane Austen&#8217;s most endearing character, the disastrously self-assured matchmaker Emma Woodhouse. A fine cast, speedy pacing and playful direction make this a solid contender for the Austen sweepstakes.&#8221;
The movie was nominated for two Academy Awards, including Best Costume Design and Best Original Musical or Comedy Score, taking home the golden statue for the latter.
During the same interview, the “Avengers: Endgame” actress also shared some of her thoughts on the superhero movie genre.

&#8220;But I think, if I look at the industry as a whole, there&#8217;s this sort of big push into superhero movies,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;I mean, you can only make so many good ones that feel truly original and yet there&#8217;s still, you know, always trying to reach as many people as possible, which sometimes hinders quality or specificity or real point of view,&#8221; Paltrow added. 
This led her to reminiscing about lower-budget films she did earlier in her career, which would include projects like “Emma.” 
&#8220;I sometimes lament the fact — like, I look back at some of the movies I made in the &#8217;90s, and think that just wouldn&#8217;t get made now,&#8221; Paltrow said.
&#8220;I do think that you do get more diversity of art when there&#8217;s less at stake, and people can sort of express their true voice and make a film the way they want to make it,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;And then I think those are generally the more resonant ones.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ghislaine-maxwell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ghislaine Maxwell</a>, co-conspirator of the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, refused to comply with requests to turn over documents pertaining to any connection she may have had with the Clinton Foundation, newly unsealed documents revealed.
The documents, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/names-of-jeffrey-epsteins-associates-to-be-unsealed-with-few-exceptions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unsealed</a> pursuant to a mid-December ruling handed down by Manhattan Federal Judge Loretta Preska, were part of a civil lawsuit filed by Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre against Maxwell. And while thus far they have focused on the criminal behavior of both Epstein and Maxwell, newly-released documents have begun to shed light on associates who may have been aware of the financier&#8217;s crimes.
The latest documents mentioned former Polish model Adriana Ross – who was named as an <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6184602-Jeffrey-Epstein-non-prosecution-agreement.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">un-indicted co-conspirator</a> in Epstein&#8217;s 2008 non-prosecution agreement — and alleged that she had been the one to remove computers from Epstein&#8217;s home in Palm Beach before the FBI arrived to search the house.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Another document revealed that during the discovery phase of the suit, Giuffre had requested communications between Maxwell and just over a dozen &#8220;specific witnesses&#8221; — among them former President Bill Clinton and former first lady Hillary Clinton.
In addition to magician <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/heres-whats-in-the-epstein-docs-so-far" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Copperfield</a> — whose name appeared in the first tranche of documents because he had allegedly asked one of the girls at Epstein&#8217;s home whether she was &#8220;aware that girls were getting paid to find other girls&#8221; — disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein also made an appearance in Epstein&#8217;s call logs.

Maxwell also reportedly refused to comply when she got a discovery request for documents pertaining to any connection she had with the Clinton Foundation &#8212; specifically in an effort to determine whether she was receiving any funding from the Clinton Foundation that might &#8220;provide a clear motive for her to slant testimony on this subject.&#8221;
In another document, a witness described seeing Britain&#8217;s disgraced Prince Andrew — along with his wife, Sarah Ferguson — at Epstein&#8217;s home. The same witness also recalled seeing independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former President Donald Trump at the house as well, but said that when Prince Andrew visited, he stayed for weeks at a time.
Trump, according to one witness, never stayed at Epstein&#8217;s home — and did not even sit at the main table with Epstein and other guests, choosing instead to eat in the kitchen with staff.

According to an email in the <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4355835/1325/5/giuffre-v-maxwell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">second tranche of documents</a> related to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, former President Bill Clinton allegedly put pressure on Vanity Fair to kill a story about sex trafficking and his &#8220;good friend J.E.&#8221;
The documents, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/names-of-jeffrey-epsteins-associates-to-be-unsealed-with-few-exceptions">unsealed</a> pursuant to a mid-December court order from Manhattan Federal Judge Loretta Preska, were part of a civil lawsuit filed by Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre against the financier&#8217;s convicted co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.
While the majority of the documents in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/heres-whats-in-the-epstein-docs-so-far" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first tranche</a> pertained almost solely to the criminal behavior exhibited by Epstein and Maxwell, the second tranche delivered a list of associates whom Giuffre believed could have knowledge of that criminal behavior.
Among those with potential knowledge of Epstein&#8217;s and Maxwell&#8217;s dealings listed in the documents were Prince Andrew, Duke of York and Clinton; one of Clinton&#8217;s advisers, Doug Band; and Sophie Biddle. Others listed in the documents included deceased model scout Jean-Luc Brunel, deceased Gov. Bill Richardson (D-NM), and financier Les Wexner.

According to one email included in the filing, Giuffre wrote to journalist Sharon Churcher about Clinton&#8217;s alleged efforts to kill a story that might have shed light on Epstein&#8217;s sex trafficking activities.
&#8220;When I was doing some research into VF yesterday, it does concern me what they could want to write about me considering that B. Clinton walked into VF and threatened them not to write sex-trafficing [sic] articles about his good friend J.E.,&#8221; Giuffre wrote.

Former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter pushed back, telling <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/01/04/bill-clinton-put-pressure-on-vanity-fair-not-to-cover-epste/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Telegraph</a>: &#8220;This categorically did not happen.&#8221;
Journalist Vicky Ward <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-communications/why-didnt-vanity-fair-break-the-jeffrey-epstein-story" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also claimed</a> that Epstein had worked to prevent Vanity Fair from writing a similar story.
&#8220;&#8216;I have reports here about you, your husband — I have everything under the sun that was sent to me by people who want to be helpful,'&#8221; Ward <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12930469/vanity-fair-graydon-carter-denies-bill-clinton-jeffrey-epstein-claims.html?ns_mchannel=rss&amp;ns_campaign=1490&amp;ito=social-twitter_mailonline" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quoted Epstein</a>, saying he had threatened her directly after she interviewed two of his victims, sisters Maria and Annie Farmer.
Carter denied that as well, saying that the outlet had opted to cut certain information from the story because it had not been submitted in time and had not met legal standards.
The documents do not go so far as to accuse Clinton of doing anything illegal.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Other documents spoke to Epstein&#8217;s pattern of behavior — bringing in girls and then sending them out to recruit other girls — and efforts to get the girls in his orbit to become emancipated, giving him more access and control over them.

Federal court documents pertaining to the late convicted pedophile <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jeffrey-epstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeffrey Epstein</a> were unsealed on Wednesday, pursuant to a December order from Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Pleska, and are expected to reveal the names of more than 150 of the financier&#8217;s associates, some of whom are already known.

According to a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/03/nyregion/jeffrey-epstein-court-documents.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> published by The New York Times shortly after the documents were unsealed, Epstein was the only person who has been incriminated. As has long been expected, both former Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton were named in the document – but neither was accused of any crime.
Trump&#8217;s appearance in the documents was particularly innocuous, coming up only as an offhand remark made by Epstein upon learning that his plane was making an unscheduled stop in Atlantic City, New Jersey. &#8220;Great, we’ll call up Trump,&#8221; Epstein allegedly said, adding that they should also make a stop at his casino.
Clinton&#8217;s mention was a little less benign, however. When asked during a 2016 deposition about Epstein&#8217;s relationship with the former president, Epstein victim Johanna Sjoberg said, &#8220;He said one time that Clinton likes them young, referring to girls.&#8221;
Sjoberg testified that she had been pressured by both Epstein and Maxwell to give massages that included &#8220;sex stuff,&#8221; but that she had never been asked to massage Trump. She also said that she never saw Trump or Clinton at Epstein&#8217;s island.

Here’s What’s In The Epstein Docs So Far

Here's What's In The Epstein Docs So Far

Donald Trump

Mark Epstein claimed on Wednesday that his late brother, convicted pedophile <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jeffrey-epstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeffrey Epstein</a>, once bragged to him about having enough dirt on both major candidates to derail the 2016 presidential election.
Epstein, a property developer, <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/01/03/news/jeffrey-epsteins-dirt-on-trump-and-clinton-would-ruin-both-brother/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told the New York Post</a> that his brother had claimed to have compromising information on both the Republican candidate — now former President Donald Trump, and the Democratic candidate — former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
&#8220;Here’s a direct quote: &#8216;If I said what I know about both candidates, they’d have to cancel the election.&#8217; That’s what Jeffrey told me in 2016,&#8221; Mark said. He did not offer any details, however, and instead told the Post that his brother had never revealed exactly what he knew.
It is already public knowledge that Trump had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-clinton-prince-andrew-donald-trump-all-flew-on-epsteins-jet-pilot-testifies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">associated with Epstein</a> — although he has denied any participation in or knowledge of the convicted pedophile&#8217;s crimes. He reportedly flew on the financier&#8217;s private plane at least 7 times during the 1990s — primarily between New York and Palm Beach, and occasionally with some of his family members in tow.
Clinton&#8217;s connection to Epstein is a bit more tenuous and, based on what is known publicly, primarily through her husband, former President Bill Clinton. While Hillary is not known to have had much interaction with Epstein, he did visit the White House more than a dozen times — 17, to be exact — during Clinton&#8217;s presidency.
In addition, Bill Clinton flew on Epstein&#8217;s private plane a number of times — and it was one such trip, according to Mark Epstein, that may have started the dominoes falling.

&#8220;Well, when Jeff first took Clinton and I think it was Chris Tucker and some other people to Africa — which was a mistake my brother made by doing that, because prior to that he was under the radar; nobody was looking at him,&#8221; Epstein explained. &#8220;But when he flew Clinton there, it was like, &#8216;Who’s this guy flying Clinton?'&#8221;
The names of some 150 of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/names-of-jeffrey-epsteins-associates-to-be-unsealed-with-few-exceptions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Epstein&#8217;s associates</a> — a list that could include alleged perpetrators, alleged co-conspirators, and even additional victims — is included in federal court documents that are set to be unsealed in New York beginning Wednesday.

‘They’d Have To Cancel The Election’: Mark Epstein Claims Brother Jeffrey Had Dirt On Both 2016 Candidates

Mark Epstein Claims Brother Jeffrey Had Dirt On Both 2016 Candidates

As scores of previously sealed court filings regarding sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are about to be made public, a report states that former President Bill Clinton is mentioned in more than 50 of the redacted filings.
In December, Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska ordered the release of sealed documents from a defamation suit Virginia Giuffre — who claimed she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was 17 at Epstein’s home — filed in 2015 against Epstein’s madam, Ghislaine Maxwell.
“Finally we are hearing members of the US government senators about the need for transparency and a call to arms for accountability!! There’s going to be a lot of nervous ppl over Christmas and New Years, 170 to be exact, who’s on the naughty list? This wouldn’t be possible without the Honourable Judge Preska,” Guiffre tweeted, adding, “Merry early Christmas. Dozens of Jeffrey Epstein associates, victims likely to publicly ID&#8217;d in court docs in coming weeks — thank you and many blessings for Judge Preska. A truth seeker &amp; justice maker.”

Additional details are expected from &#8220;Jane Doe 162,&#8221; who testified she was with Prince Andrew, Maxwell and Giuffre at Epstein&#8217;s New York mansion in 2001, ABC News <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/court-documents-naming-jeffrey-epsteins-associates-unsealed/story?id=105993160" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, noting that more than 150 names listed as &#8220;John and Jane Does&#8221; are mentioned in the records.
Giuffre has claimed she met Clinton on Epstein&#8217;s private Caribbean island, “Little St. James.”
Flight records have shown Clinton flew repeatedly overseas on Epstein&#8217;s jumbo jet, but no evidence has come to light that he visited Epstein&#8217;s island.
ABC News reported Clinton is identified as &#8220;Doe 36.&#8221; In 2016, a few days after Hillary Clinton won the Democratic nomination for president, Giuffre&#8217;s lawyers subpoenaed Clinton for deposition testimony regarding his relationship with Epstein, prompting Clinton’s attorneys to say his testimony would not help Guiffre because he had never visited Epstein’s island.

U.S. District Judge Robert Sweet denied Guiffre’s team’s request. In March 2017,  Giuffre&#8217;s lawyers tried to stop Maxwell&#8217;s team from using testimony that claimed Clinton had never visited the island, saying it would be &#8220;inherently unfair&#8221; to Giuffre as her team had never been allowed to question Clinton as to whether he had been there.
&#8220;You did not allow us to depose him because you said it was irrelevant,&#8221; Guiffre’s lawyer told JSweet. &#8220;So now we&#8217;re in a position where at trial they want to put forth that information against my client, and I don&#8217;t have an under-oath statement from that individual saying whether or not he actually was.”
In 2019, Clinton&#8217;s spokesman <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/08/politics/bill-clinton-jeffrey-epstein/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, “President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York,” adding, “In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein’s airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation. &#8230; He had one meeting with Epstein in his Harlem office in 2002, and around the same time made one brief visit to Epstein’s New York apartment with a staff member and his security detail.”

A woman who alleged she had been sex-trafficked by the late Jeffrey Epstein chortled when news broke that the identities of 170 people connected with Epstein will be revealed.
Virginia Giuffre, who claimed she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was 17 at Epstein’s home, eventually settled a $12 million lawsuit with Prince Andrew. She reacted to Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska ordering the release of sealed documents from a defamation suit Giuffre filed in 2015 against Epstein’s madam, Ghislaine Maxwell.
 “Finally we are hearing members of the US government senators about the need for transparency and a call to arms for accountability!! There’s going to be a lot of nervous ppl over Christmas and New Years, 170 to be exact, who’s on the naughty list? This wouldn’t be possible without the Honourable Judge Preska,” Guiffre tweeted, adding, “Merry early Christmas. Dozens of Jeffrey Epstein associates, victims likely to publicly ID&#8217;d in court docs in coming weeks — thank you and many blessings for Judge Preska. A truth seeker &amp; justice maker.”

Preska gave the individuals who will be named two weeks to appeal the decision, adding that most of the names had already been made public.
“Former President Bill Clinton and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates are just some of the prominent figures anticipated to be featured in the report — after both were photographed with alleged Epstein victims,” The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/12/20/news/jeffrey-epstein-victim-virginia-giuffre-taunts-those-to-be-named-in-unsealed-docs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.

The powerful and rich are not exempt from being held responsible for their actions. I hope that other victims will see that it is possible not to live in silence and fear, but to reclaim one’s life by speaking out and demanding justice.”
“I did not come to this decision lightly,” she added. “As a mother and a wife, my family comes first — and I know that this action will subject me to further attacks by Prince Andrew and his surrogates — but I knew if I did not pursue this action, I would be letting them and victims everywhere down.”

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bill-clinton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Clinton</a> had a harsh — and definitely Not Suitable For Work (NSFW) — assessment of his wife&#8217;s failed 2016 presidential campaign, saying, according to a new book from author Ryan Grim, that her campaign &#8220;could not sell p***y on a troop train.&#8221;
According to Grim&#8217;s book, &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Squad-AOC-Hope-Political-Revolution/dp/1250869072?tag=nypost-20&amp;asc_refurl=https://nypost.com/2023/12/12/news/bill-clinton-hillarys-2016-campaign-could-not-sell-p-y-on-a-troop-train-book/&amp;asc_source=web" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" data-ga-event="{&quot;category&quot;:&quot;affiliate ecommerce click&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:&quot;amazon&quot;,&quot;label&quot;:&quot;https://www.amazon.com/Squad-AOC-Hope-Political-Revolution/dp/1250869072?tag=nypost-20&amp;asc_refurl=https://nypost.com/2023/12/12/news/bill-clinton-hillarys-2016-campaign-could-not-sell-p-y-on-a-troop-train-book/&amp;asc_source=web&quot;}" data-ga4-event="{&quot;event_name&quot;:&quot;ux_engagement&quot;,&quot;source_unit&quot;:&quot;amazon&quot;,&quot;source_position&quot;:77}">The Squad: AOC and the Hope of a Political Revolution</a>,&#8221; former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton&#8217;s mistake was in leaning too hard on identity politics — which he argued was an attempt to damage her main primary opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) by claiming that he was &#8220;sexist,&#8221; among other things.
&#8220;To the extent that the campaign tactic moved the needle at all, it likely pushed moderate voters paying only marginal attention to the campaign towards Sanders, who spoke like a normal person while Clinton began ascending into what her ally James Carville would later call, &#8216;faculty lounge speak,'&#8221; Grim wrote.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democratic-strategist-james-carville-wokeness-is-a-problem-for-democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carville</a>, a longtime Democratic strategist, later raised his concern on that point several times, arguing that the average American voter was likely to be turned off by people using language that they didn&#8217;t understand.
&#8220;They come up with a word like &#8216;Latinx&#8217; that no one else uses. Or they use a phrase like &#8216;communities of color.&#8217; I don’t know anyone who speaks like that. I don’t know anyone who lives in a ‘community of color.’ I know lots of white and black and brown people and they all live in … neighborhoods,&#8221; Carville explained in 2021. &#8220;This is not how people talk. This is not how voters talk. And doing it anyway is a signal that you’re talking one language and the people you want to vote for you are speaking another language.&#8221;

But Bill Clinton put his beef in much starker terms, according to Grim&#8217;s book.
&#8220;Former President Bill Clinton, surveying the landscape and the ham-handed efforts at identity politics was bereft, lamenting to a longtime friend in the fall of 2016 that Hillary’s campaign &#8216;could not sell p***y on a troop train,'&#8221; he wrote.

Amidst duel crises of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/massachusetts-activates-the-national-guard-to-deal-with-influx-of-illegal-aliens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">illegal immigration</a> and rising <a href="https://www.mass.gov/news/massachusetts-opioid-related-overdose-deaths-rose-25-percent-in-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drug overdoses</a>, Massachusetts Democratic Governor Maura Healey has decided to crack down on the real culprit of the Bay State&#8217;s problems: Single-use plastic bottles.
Monday morning, the governor announced at The Clinton Global Initiative in New York City that she will be banning state agencies from purchasing single-use plastic bottles because climate change demands it.
&#8220;We know that plastic waste, plastic production are among the leading threats to our oceans, our climate, and environmental justice. In government, we have an obligation — we also have an opportunity — to not only stop contributing to this damage but to chart a better path forward,&#8221; Healey <a href="https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/gov-healey-to-ban-all-state-agencies-from-purchasing-single-use-plastic-bottles/3138580/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
There are some buzzwords in that statement that should be broken down before moving on to a parting thought about Healey and her ilk&#8217;s &#8220;concern&#8221; about the planet.
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-climate-endgame-a-50-trillion-bridge-to-racial-equity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously discussed</a>, climate or environmental &#8220;justice&#8221; can commonly be taken to mean the race-based redistribution of wealth. Indeed, just last month Healey announced millions in taxpayer funding toward green energy projects and jobs in &#8220;environmental justice&#8221; communities. What does that mean? Well, here are the criteria to <a href="https://www.mass.gov/info-details/environmental-justice-populations-in-massachusetts#what-is-an-environmental-justice-population?-" target="_blank" rel="noopener">qualify</a> as an &#8220;EJ&#8221; in Massachusetts, per the state government:
<ol>
<li>the annual median household income is 65 percent or less of the statewide annual median household income</li>
<li>minorities make up 40 percent or more of the population</li>
<li>25 percent or more of households identify as speaking English less than &#8220;very well&#8221;</li>
<li>minorities make up 25 percent or more of the population and the annual median household income of the municipality in which the neighborhood is located does not exceed 150 percent of the statewide annual median household income</li>
</ol>
So, as readers can see, green energy funding is, to reiterate, often just a vehicle for the mass redistribution of wealth along racial and ethnic lines. It&#8217;s no different in the Bay State.
On Monday, Healey also told the crowd at CGI, &#8220;In our coastal state, we know climate change is our biggest threat. We also believe that taking action is our greatest opportunity, an opportunity to secure a safe, prosperous, and sustainable future.&#8221;
One has to wonder how many folks flew on private jets to that meeting in New York City. Something tells me that Healey won&#8217;t be banning state travel via gas-guzzling modes of transportation anytime soon. Nor does it seem that she offered her worldly peers any chastisement for their use of fossil fuels to gallivant around the globe.

Awkward situations, embarrassing moments, mispronounced words, and tumbles. The men who have led the most powerful nation on earth were just that — men. And like the rest of us, they&#8217;ve suffered through some embarrassing gaffes. Yet unlike the rest of us, their mistakes were captured on camera to be remembered and laughed at for the rest of history.
Thanks to President Joe Biden, presidential gaffes have become an almost daily occurrence in the White House, but even before the 80-year-old commander-in-chief gave us a reason to roll our eyes, plenty of other U.S. presidents have made us cringe.
Republicans and Democrats are both prone to make us laugh, especially since the advent of television. From puking in a prime minister’s lap to falling down the steps of Air Force One, it would be impossible to include every blunder from modern-day presidents, but here are some of the more embarrassing moments we found, from Gerald Ford to Joe Biden.
<h2>Gerald Ford Tumbles And Stumbles</h2>
President Gerald Ford was falling down airplane steps before Joe Biden made it cool. On June 1, 1975, Ford arrived in Austria to meet with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. As Ford was walking down the Air Force One steps with his wife Betty, the president slipped and fell down the last few stairs. Then, a few hours later, Ford <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1975/06/02/archives/ford-falls-but-is-unhurt-ford-falls-but-is-unhurt.html">reportedly</a> nearly fell down a flight of stairs but was saved by Sadat.
Ford wasn’t hurt in either incident and was quick to make light of the embarrassing moments. “Thank you for your gracious welcome to Salzburg, and I am sorry I tumbled in,” he said in remarks to a crowd later that day.

<h2>Gerald Ford: The Soviets Are Not Dominating Eastern Europe</h2>
Unfortunately for Ford, foreign policy proved to be as big a problem as the steps on Air Force One. Ford raised eyebrows when he claimed during a presidential debate against Democrat nominee Jimmy Carter that “There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe, and there never will be under a Ford administration.”
This claim would’ve been fine if Ford was running for re-election in 1992, but it was 1976 — the middle of the Cold War. The USSR was still going strong and exercising control of the Eastern Bloc of European countries Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Yugoslavia. At best, Ford’s comment was a blunder, but at worst, it revealed the sitting president lacked a basic level of foreign policy knowledge.
Ford went on to lose to Carter in the 1976 election.

<h2>Jimmy Carter: A Fictional Character Would Have Been One Of The Best Presidents In History</h2>
During the 1980 Democratic convention, President Jimmy riled up his base by listing names of Democrats he was proud to be in the same party as, but he mixed up the name of a former Democratic vice president with the name of a fictional British naval officer.
“We&#8217;re the party of a great leader of compassion: Lyndon Baines Johnson,” the president told the room full of Democrats. “And the party of a great man who should have been president, who would have been one of the greatest presidents in history: Hubert Horatio Hornblower!”
Carter quickly realized his gaffe and shouted, “Humphrey,” the name of Johnson&#8217;s vice president who died in 1978.

<h2>Ronald Reagan Needs Help From Nancy</h2>
Nancy Reagan was a powerful influence during her husband&#8217;s eight years in office and was even <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1988/05/04/us/white-house-confirms-reagans-follow-astrology-up-to-a-point.html">rumored</a> to have helped President Ronald Reagan schedule important meetings through astrology. In one Q&amp;A with the press, Reagan was asked how he would bring the Russians to the negotiating table to discuss arms control. Nancy appeared to prompt her husband before he answered.
&#8221;Tell them we are doing everything we can,” she was heard whispering.
Nancy <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1984/08/19/us/nancy-reagan-denies-giving-president-cue.html">denied</a> that she was telling the president what to say, however. Instead, Nancy said she was just talking to herself because she was frustrated by the question. 
“It always implies that he is sitting there doing nothing,&#8221; she said. &#8221;I always want to say, &#8216;What do you think he&#8217;s doing?&#8217; I know what he&#8217;s doing. So this time when it was asked, I was saying to myself, &#8216;Tell them we are doing everything we can.’”

<h2>George H.W. Bush Faints And Vomits On Japanese Prime Minister</h2>
A scary moment at a state dinner in Japan turned into one of the most embarrassing gaffes in presidential history when President George H.W. Bush fainted and vomited in the lap of Japan’s Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa.
Bush, who was 67 at the time, <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/george-bush-vomits-on-prime-minister-of-japan">felt fine</a> earlier in the day, even playing tennis with his host. But at dinner, Bush suffered acute gastroenteritis, causing his fainting spell. The president felt better after taking an anti-nausea drug and resumed his normal schedule.

<h2>George H.W. Bush Gets Bored On Live TV</h2>
During a 1992 presidential debate against his Democrat opponent Bill Clinton, President George H.W. Bush glanced at his watch as a member of the audience asked him a question. While the moment only lasted for a second and the president went on to answer the question, Bush’s gaffe made him look both uninterested in the debate and dismissive of the audience member’s question. Bush lost to Clinton less than a month later in the 1992 election.

<h2>Bill Clinton: The Meaning of The Word &#8216;Is&#8217;</h2>
In the midst of his White House sex scandal, President Bill Clinton made a ridiculous attempt to squirm his way out of answering a question about his sexual misconduct with his intern Monica Lewinsky.
The president was asked if a statement from Clinton’s attorney was false. The statement in question read, “Counsel is fully aware that Ms. Lewinsky has filed, has an affidavit which they are in possession of saying that there is absolutely no sex of any kind in any manner, shape or form, with President Clinton.” 
Clinton <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/bctest092198_4.htm">responded</a>, “It depends upon what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is. If the – if he – if ‘is’ means is and never has been that is not – that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement.”
The Democratic president was impeached by the House on charges including perjury and obstruction of justice following the sex scandal, but he was acquitted by the Senate.

<h2>George W. Bush Fooled By Popular Saying</h2>
Before Michael Scott was butchering famous quotes on “The Office,” there was President George W. Bush. The Republican was often made fun of for his strange sayings, often called “Bushisms,” but on one occasion, Bush completely forgot the common saying, “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.”
Bush was speaking to an audience in Nashville, Tennessee, when he said, &#8220;There&#8217;s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it&#8217;s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, &#8216;Fool me once, shame on … shame on you. Fool me — you can&#8217;t get fooled again.'&#8221;

<h2>Barack Obama Hot Mic</h2>
During a meeting with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in March 2012, a hot mic caught President Barack Obama saying the quiet part out loud. As reporters flowed into the room where Obama and Medvedev were speaking, the two leaders believed their conversation was still private, but cameras and microphones picked up on their words.
Obama was overheard asking Medvedev for time and space — “particularly with missile defense” — until after the election when he would be in a better position to handle the issue without the threat of facing electoral consequences, Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-nuclear-summit-obama-medvedev/obama-tells-russias-medvedev-more-flexibility-after-election-idUSBRE82P0JI20120326">reported</a>.
“I understand your message about space,” replied Medvedev, who was on his way out of office.
“This is my last election. &#8230; After my election, I have more flexibility,” Obama added.
“I will transmit this information to Vladimir,” Medvedev said, referring to Vladimir Putin, who was set to take back over as Russian president.

<h2>Barack Obama Thinks There Are 57 States </h2>
While not as consequential as being caught on a hot mic discussing future plans with a Russian president, Obama embarrassed himself when he claimed he traveled to 57 states during his campaign.
“It is just wonderful to be back in Oregon, and over the past 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states, I think one left to go,” Obama told a group of supporters as some began to laugh. “Alaska and Hawaii I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it.”

<h2>Trump Mispronounces Yosemite And Thailand</h2>
President Donald Trump could always entertain a crowd — even when he wasn’t trying to. While touting legislation on preserving national parks, Trump mispronounced the name of one of the most popular natural attractions in the U.S.
“We want every American child to have access to pristine outdoor spaces. When young Americans experience the breathtaking beauty of the Grand Canyon when their eyes widen in amazement as Old Faithful bursts into the sky, when they gaze upon ‘Yo Semite’s’ — ‘Yo Semite’s’ — towering sequoias, their love of country grows stronger, and they know that every American has truly a duty to preserve this wondrous inheritance.”

Then the president mispronounced Thailand, calling it “thigh land.” In a speech in Ohio, Trump blamed the Obama administration for companies “shifting production to ‘thigh land’ and Vietnam.”

What Gerald Ford began, President Joe Biden perfected. Shortly after taking office, Biden tripped not once, not twice, but three times while walking up the steps of Air Force One. The president finally made it to the top before turning around and saluting the Marines standing on the ground.
White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre blamed the wind for Biden’s trouble making it up the stairs.
“It’s pretty windy outside. It’s very windy. I almost fell coming up the steps myself,” she said.

<h2>Joe Biden Falls Off Bike</h2>
Biden took a bigger tumble in 2022 when he fell off his bike in his home state of Delaware right in front of a crowd gathered to see him. The president came to a stop to greet a group of people when he lost his balance and fell to the pavement.

<h2>Joe Biden Tells Paralympic Athletes ‘Don’t Jump’</h2>
Biden has a strange habit of telling people on platforms or in high places not to jump when he makes public appearances. In one instance, the president made the joke while appearing with paralympic athletes, some of whom were in wheelchairs.

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bill-clinton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Clinton</a> admitted in an interview Tuesday that he bears responsibility for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ukraine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ukraine</a> giving up nuclear warheads as a result of a decades-old agreement between Kyiv, the U.S., and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/russia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russia</a>.
The former Democratic president told <a href="https://www.rte.ie/news/primetime/2023/0404/1374162-clinton-ukraine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RTE</a> Prime Time that had it not been for a 1994 agreement initiated by his administration to get nuclear weapons out of Ukraine, Russia likely would not have invaded the country last February. 
&#8220;I feel a personal stake because I got them [Ukraine] to agree to give up their nuclear weapons. And none of them believe that Russia would have pulled this stunt if Ukraine still had their weapons,&#8221; Clinton said.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, Clinton signed an agreement with Russian President Boris Yeltsin and Ukrainian President Leonid Kravchuk in 1994, which removed the Soviet’s nuclear arsenal that remained in Ukraine. In a related agreement later that year, known as the Budapest Memorandum, the U.S., along with the U.K. and Russia, promised to respect Ukrainian territory after it agreed to hand over its nukes to Russia. That promise was broken when Russian President Vladimir Putin annexed Crimea in 2014 under the watch of the Obama administration.
Clinton told RTE that he “knew that President Putin did not support the agreement President Yeltsin made never to interfere with Ukraine&#8217;s territorial boundaries — an agreement he made because he wanted Ukraine to give up their nuclear weapons.”
Clinton added that Ukraine was “afraid” to give up its nuclear weapons, believing they were “the only thing that protected them from an expansionist Russia,” a fear that now appears even more credible. Clinton admitted that he feels “terrible” about the agreement that seemingly paved the way to a bloody war that has no end in sight.
In February, one year after Putin’s forces invaded Ukraine, U.K. intelligence <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/ukraine-war-how-many-people-have-been-killed-since-putin-invasion-100628450.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">estimated</a> that more than 16,000 Ukrainian civilians had died as a result of the conflict, while the U.S. has estimated that civilian deaths could be up to 40,000. The U.S. also estimates that each side has suffered around 100,000 military casualties.

The former president said that he believes the U.S. should continue to aid Ukraine in its fight against Russia until a peace agreement that&#8217;s favorable to the Ukrainians can be reached.
&#8220;I think what Mr. Putin did was very wrong, and I believe Europe and the United States should continue to support Ukraine. There may come a time when the Ukrainian government believes that they can think of a peace agreement they could live with, but I don&#8217;t think the rest of us should cut and run on them.&#8221;

Ukraine-Russia War

In light of the recent tragic mass shooting in Nashville, many grieving Americans find themselves inundated with anti-gun rhetoric from the legacy media and politicians alike.
Whether it’s a ban on “assault weapons,” magazine capacity restrictions, or increased licensing requirements, President Biden and the Left have been increasingly open about their desire to restrict access to firearms.
But will new gun control measures actually do anything to curtail gun-related homicide rates? A look back at past legislation can help answer that question.
Here are three major gun control measures, and how they turned out.
<h2>The Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 </h2>
Also known as the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/103rd-congress/house-bill/4296" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act</a>, the Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 was a subsection of a larger crime bill signed into law by former President Bill Clinton. The bill was largely motivated by an increasing amount of violent crime in the United States.
The law prohibited the selling, manufacturing, importation and transfer of specific semi-automatic firearms characterized as “assault weapons.”
The ban included a sunset provision, meaning it phased out in 2004 after President George W. Bush declined to renew it.
Despite all of the regulations, limitations and conditions inherent in the bill, numerous studies in subsequent years have shown the ban to have been largely ineffective.
In a 2017 review from JAMA Internal Medicine titled <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/2582989" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Firearm Laws and Firearm Homicides: A Systematic Review,”</a> it was concluded that “Limited data from 4 studies on the effects of the federal assault weapons ban (in effect from 1994 to 2004) do not provide evidence that the ban was associated with a significant decrease in firearm homicides.”
Arriving at a similar conclusion was Grant Duwe, the director of research and evaluation for the Minnesota Department of Corrections. In a 2019 study titled, <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1745-9133.12478" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Criminology &amp; Public Policy</a>, Duwe found that after adjusting for population growth, it was not apparent that the assault weapons ban had any impact on the number of public mass shootings.
During the fifth year of the ban being in effect, one of the most infamous mass shootings in United States history occurred, the Columbine massacre. On April 20, 1999, two high school seniors entered Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, and mercilessly ended the lives of 12 students and one teacher, injuring 21 others in the process.
One of the weapons used in the Columbine shooting was a TEC-9, a weapon specifically banned by name in the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, thus further proving the ban was ineffective to criminals who refuse to acknowledge the law.
<h2>The Brady Act</h2>
Named after former White House Press Secretary James Brady who was left paralyzed after being shot in the head by John Hinckley Jr. in the assassination attempt of former President Ronald Reagan, <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/103rd-congress/house-bill/1025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act</a> required a federal background check before any handgun was sold from a federally licensed dealer, manufacturer or importer in 32 states.
In addition, when the bill was originally passed in 1993 it required a five-day waiting period on handgun purchases. This remained the case for five years until the National Instant Background Check System was implemented in 1998.
Just before signing the Act into law, President Bill Clinton expressed his optimism, <a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PPP-1993-book2/html/PPP-1993-book2-doc-pg2079.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a>, “When I go and sign this bill in a minute, it will be step one in taking our streets back, taking our children back, reclaiming our families and our future.”
Despite this, various studies show the bill — similar to the assault weapons ban — was largely ineffective.
A widely cited study conducted by Jens Ludwig and Phillip J. Cook titled, “<a href="https://www.law.virginia.edu/news/2003_spr/cook.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Limited Impact of the Brady Act – No Evidence of Reduction in Deaths”</a> found no evidence of a reduction in homicides after the act was put into effect.
Phillip J. Cook, co-author of the study, <a href="https://today.duke.edu/2000/09/brady901.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained</a> in a Charlotte Observer article that when comparing the 32 states who implemented the Brady Bill to the 18 that did not, no significant difference in homicide reduction presented itself in the data.
Some gun-control advocates have challenged the study’s conclusion by mentioning a slight decrease in the number of annual gun-related deaths, to which researchers have <a href="https://today.duke.edu/2000/09/brady901.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded</a>, “While it is possible that the Brady Act has thus contributed to the nationwide reduction in gun violence, the evidence is sketchy at best. The fact is that homicide rates already started to decline in 1991, before the Brady Act became law. Various reasons have been offered for this decline, more cops, more prisons, a better economy and an easing of the crack epidemic are all plausible explanations.”
<h2>The Various Laws of Illinois</h2>
Despite having some of the strictest gun laws in the country, the state of Illinois, especially Chicago, is subject to some of the worst homicide rates in America. As a result, gun crime in Chicago is frequently cited by opponents of gun control as proof that restricting firearms doesn’t necessarily solve the problem of gun violence.
Illinois is one of the few states that requires residents to <a href="https://www.ispfsb.com/Public/FOID.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">obtain</a> a “Firearms Owners Identification Card” (FOID) from state police if they want to own a firearm or ammunition of any kind. In addition, “assault weapons” are banned in certain areas of the state, and mandatory wait times of up to 72 hours are required for most firearms purchases.
Illinois’ gun legislation has been so strict that at times the Supreme Court has had to intervene. In 1982, for example, the city of Chicago banned the possession of handguns by civilians. It wasn’t until 2010, when the Supreme Court ruled the ban unconstitutional in <a href="https://www.oyez.org/cases/2009/08-1521" target="_blank" rel="noopener">McDonald vs. City of Chicago</a>, that residents were once again allowed to own them.
Despite all of the regulations that are still actively enforced, violence has consistently been a major problem for the state.
<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/chicago-has-had-most-mass-shootings-in-u-s-since-2018/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According</a> to CBS Chicago, out of all cities in the United States, Chicago has had the most mass shootings over the last four years. They report that since 2018 the city has seen 811 injuries and fatalities.
Another local news outlet, ABC 7 Chicago, <a href="https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-shootings-2020-shooting-crime-stats-statistics/9250374/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> that in 2020, Chicago saw 769 murders and 3,261 shootings. Both of these numbers were up significantly compared to 2019, which saw 495 murders and 2,140 shootings.
Considering these sobering numbers, the common pattern that follows gun legislation is that in a realistic world, it doesn’t do what it is supposed to. If criminals were to abide by and care for the law, they wouldn’t commit violent crime, and the country wouldn’t need gun restrictions at all.
Instead of trying old tricks that have time and time again proven themselves ineffective, America should take a deeper look into what is driving killers. Only then will we be able to understand the problem and turn the tide.
