Lord, please protect us.
The world is watching.
NORAD detected, tracked, and intercepted two Russian TU-95 and two PRC H-6 military aircraft operating in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) on July 24, 2024. NORAD fighter jets from the United States and Canada conducted the intercept.
The Russian and PRC aircraft remained in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace. This Russian and PRC activity in the Alaska ADIZ is not seen as a threat, and NORAD will continue to monitor competitor activity near North America and meet presence with presence.
An ADIZ begins where sovereign airspace ends and is a defined stretch of international airspace that requires the ready identification of all aircraft in the interest of national security.
NORAD is a unique bi-national command between the United States and Canada. NORAD employs a layered defense network of satellites, ground-based and airborne radars and fighter aircraft in seamless interoperability to detect and track aircraft and inform appropriate actions. NORAD remains ready to employ a number of response options in defense of North America.
So the Russians and the ChiComs taunt the U.S. ahead of Joe Biden's speech tonight, and it's not a threat? This administration cannot be defeated soon enough.

“Our fellow Americans, I’m speaking to you tonight from behind the resolute desk in the Oval Office,” mumbled the blank-faced dementia patient masquerading as the leader of the free world

FACT CHECK, comin' in hot!
It's a bald-faced lie, as CBP's numbers show. And look at those horrific numbers in the three years in between. https://t.co/rfwfO3OQki pic.twitter.com/aTN5xxZUaA

You have your orders, comrades.
Her name is Harris or VP Harris. News reports calling her "Kamala" may not be intentionally disrespectful or demeaning but that is how she is treated. It's wrong.

There are prescription eyedrops that can widen your eyes. I bet he was on industrial strength.
POTUS is definitely on stimulants. Just look at his eyes. Can anyone guess what kind of drugs he's on?
I wonder if Xi Jinping is eating popcorn and chuckling to himself while watching Biden’s ramble

A couple of reactions from X (not worth embedding the entire tweet):
"Every rambling speech he’s read from a teleprompter over the last 3 years condensed..."
"Was that just a political speech from the Oval Office?"
YES. Probably by Iran and Soros
I think the one thing we can be sure of is that the rioting today was planned, organized, and financed.
I suspect this was prerecorded. And if that was the best take, yikes.
I wonder if he was really in the Oval Office or his fake set

Nothing says passing the torch like recycling Pepsi's marketing campaign from the 1980s.
He called Kamala "a fresh new generation"?
She's older than I am, so I'll take that and run with it.

Now we're learning that Biden's entire family was in the room during the speech, and Ashley Biden shed tears. It's almost as if they weren't sure if he would resign or not.
And God bless Harold Ford. He just said it sounded like a "convention acceptance speech."
One thing this speech did NOT do was assure the public that he is mentally and physically capable of being president for the next six months.
