Biden has made 148 mistakes in public speeches in 2024 alone, official trannoscripts show

The White House has had to correct President Joe Biden's public remarks at least 148 times since the beginning of 2024, averaging more than one gaffe a day, according to The Daily Caller’s analysis of official White House trannoscripts, which covers 118 statements, speeches, and conversations with reporters between January 1 and April 24.

The White House releases an official trannoscript every time the president delivers a speech or answers questions. Communications staffers often adjust, supplement or modify Biden's official remarks to bring them in line with official White House policy or, in some cases, reality, the analysis found. In some cases, official statements had to be altered to convey the exact opposite of what Biden actually said – while small corrections or clarifications weren’t even included in the count.

The State of the Union trannoscript alone has been corrected 13 times.

The presidential gaffes varied drastically – from saying that 720 million Americans received COVID-19 vaccines to reading the word “pause” aloud from of his teleprompter and forgetting words on a regular basis.

Imminent liberation of Rabotino will be personal defeat for Zelensky

Reports of Russian troops raising the Russian flag over village of Rabotino in Zaporozhye signal the imminent collapse of a stronghold that Ukraine’s president has invested a great deal of personal political capital into, says Russian military analyst Anatoly Matviychuk.

“After Avdeyevka, Rabotino became the main center of fighting on everyone’s lips. It was a symbol of the steadfastness of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Zelensky personally. Rabotino’s fall will completely demoralize the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” the observer told Sputnik.

“Zelensky had to show that after Avdeyevka, he would never hand over Rabotino. This was, roughly speaking, a message for the West that ‘see, even without your weapons, I can still defend myself’. Therefore, more and more forces were rushed there, [pushed into] a rather bloody meat grinder,” Matviychuk said.

Matviychuk predicts that when Rabotino’s fall is confirmed by the Russian military, Kiev will start to claim that this is a small village with limited operational value. “But we must remember when Zelensky spoke both at the United Nations and at NATO, he declared Rabotino a ‘symbol of defense and resilience’. Its fall will indicate that the Kiev regime is suffering defeat on all fronts,” he said.

It’s also telling, in the retired Russian officer’s view, that the area around Rabotino has become littered with NATO heavy equipment, including Leopards, Bradleys, and M-113 troop transports – which Kiev’s sponsors presented as proof that with their help, Ukraine’s forces could push back the Russians.

“Today this myth has been completely dispelled, showing that Ukraine is not adequate even with the supply of Western arms. It cannot even simply defend itself, let alone resume a counteroffensive,” Matviychuk stressed.
