‘They Are Chep Fakes’: White House Slams ‘Bad Faith’ Viral Clips Of President Joe Biden | Watch

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has denounced recent viral videos depicting US President Joe Biden as confused at public events, labelling them as “cheap fakes.” Her comments follow the spread of several clips on social media, which have ignited debates about the president's mental fitness. In one widely shared video, President Biden appears to struggle with sitting down during a D-Day memorial event in France. Commenters suggested he seemed “completely lost” or experiencing “some kind of episode.” Another clip from a G7 meeting in Italy shows Biden wandering away from the group during a skydiving demonstration, only to be guided back by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. #JoeBiden #WhiteHouse #ViralVideos #CheapFakes #Deepfakes #KarineJeanPierre #FakeNews #ManipulatedMedia #PoliticalAttacks #MentalHealth #G7Summit #DdayMemorial #Juneteenth #MediaManipulation #USPolitics ~HT.178~GR.125~PR.152~ED.102~

China Blames Philippines For Ship Collision In South China Sea, Manila Denies The Accusation

A significant maritime incident occurred on Monday, intensifying tensions between China and the Philippines. A collision between a Chinese Coast Guard vessel and a Philippine navy boat has led to conflicting narratives from the two nations, highlighting the ongoing territorial disputes in the region. The collision took place as the Philippine naval vessel attempted a resupply run to the BRP Sierra Madre, an antiquated tank landing vessel grounded intentionally on the Second Thomas Shoal since 1999. This vessel, originally constructed for the US Navy during World War II, now serves as a critical outpost for the Philippine military. #SouthChinaSea #MaritimeDispute #Philippines #China #ShipCollision #TerritorialConflict #BRPSierraMadre #SecondThomasShoal #CoastGuard #Navy #Geopolitics #RegionalTensions #InternationalRelations #FreedomOfNavigation #SouthEastAsia ~PR.152~ED.194~GR.125~HT.96~
