(RepublicanWire.org) – President Joe Biden took an extremely hard fall at Air Force Academy commencement ceremony today turning in another shaky public performance as the 2024 election heats up.

Biden fell on stage after congratulating graduates of the Air Force Academy in Colorado causing the crowd to gasp loudly. Biden is 80 and is the oldest-ever president.

He is seeking a second term in next year’s election. Biden would be 86 if he completes a second four-year term.

The White House did not immediately comment on Biden’s health status but a pool reporter claimed later that he “appears to be ok.”

Biden said earlier during his remarks:

“Graduates, you made a noble choice to lead a life of service. 

“Now you also shoulder a great privilege and a mighty responsibility. 

“Leadership, yeah leadership.

“In the years ahead, your airmen and guardians are going to look to you for guidance and inspiration because the world is going to get more confusing.

“They’ll put their trust in you. 

“You, in turn, must strive to always be worthy of their confidence.”

(RepublicanWire.org) – Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot was swiftly ridiculed for decrying the mass shooting in Colorado, while her own city is plagued with rampant gang violence and fatal shootings. 

The Democratic mayor responded to the deadly shooting at a gay nightclub in Colorado, where five people were killed and dozens were injured, by saying that it made her “sick.”

“I’m sick of this s—. How many people need to be murdered? How many lives torn apart? Until it actually stops? We don’t have to live like this. And we don’t have to die like this,” she wrote on Twitter on Sunday.

This past weekend at least 20 people were shot and three were killed in gang-related shootings in the Windy City, according to local news outlet ABC7.

Lightfoot’s tweet was quickly ratioed, with Twitter users calling on the mayor to address her own city’s problems with violence.

Conservative radio host Dan O’Donnell tweeted, “I’m not sure, but it seems like you might be in a position to do something about murders in Chicago.

Others mocked the mayor’s seemingly tone-deaf tweet.

Conservative pundit and talk show host Dave Rubin called her a clown.

Journalist Siraj Hashmi reminded the mayor, “My sister in Islam, you’re literally the mayor of Chicago.”

Former ESPN sportscaster Jeannine Edwards also wondered where the Democrat’s outrage was for the murders in her own city.

“Where is your outrage at the dozens of murders in our city every week? Gangs and criminals are running the place…not you,” Edwards tweeted.
