President Biden suffered another unprovoked, angry outburst during a speech in Manhattan about the Hudson Tunnel Project.

In the middle of a sentence, Biden screamed, “There’s nothing we can’t do. Nothing. When the hell has America ever set a goal that it didn’t reach.”

YES 👍 or NO 👎

“When has it ever… name me a time, NAME ME A TIME!” he continued. “When America has gone through a crunch and didn’t come out stronger on the other side.”

According to reports, Biden has “formally announced a nearly $300 million grant for the decades-long project to build a new rail tunnel under the Hudson and repair the existing one that suffered significant damage in 2012 from Hurricane Sandy.”

The federal award will enable construction to install concrete casing in the area. This is meant to preserve the new two-tube tunnel to connect to Penn Station.

According to a new NBC poll, Biden’s lowest marks were related to his competence and health. Only 31% of American believe Biden is competent and effective as president while 28% said he has the necessary mental and physical health to be president.

A staggering 71% of Americans say the country is on the wrong track.

NBC host Chuck Todd said, “Asked to describe where America is headed in the next year, more than two-thirds use negative words and phrases: ‘downhill,’ ‘wrong track,’ ‘disaster,’ ‘hard times,’ and ‘uncertainty.’”

Even worse, the poll showed that only 34% of Americans believe Biden is “honest and trustworthy” and only 32% believe he has “the ability to handle a crisis.”

23% of poll respondents said he’s uniting the country.

Many of these scores are down significantly from when Biden first took office, according to the poll.

“Since January 2021, Biden has dropped 17 points on uniting the country, 15 points on his ability to handle a crisis, 13 points on being knowledgeable and experienced enough to handle the presidency, and 9 points on being honest and trustworthy,” said Horwitt, the Democratic pollster.

What also stands out in the survey is the public’s continued sour mood: 71% believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction (essentially unchanged from the 72% who said this in November), and 64% say their family’s income is falling behind the cost of living (63% said this in Sept. 2022).
