(DCNF)—Former President Joe Biden on Friday appeared to claim he could “beat the hell out of” CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson after delivering remarks at a Memorial Day event.
Tapper and Thompson authored a new book titled “Original Sin” about Biden’s physical and mental decline — and its cover-up — while in office. When a reporter pressed him about the recent widespread conversations regarding his mental acuity and physicality while president, he mocked the claims and seemed to take aim at the authors.
“You can see that I’m mentally incompetent and I can’t walk and I can beat the hell out of both of them,” Biden said.
Biden’s aides also privately discussed the possibility of Biden needing a wheelchair in a potential second term due to his deteriorating physical health, according to “Original Sin.”
Since the book reported details about Biden’s decline, Democrats have questioned whether he should have run for a second term in office. When a reporter pressed him on it, Biden asked why the Democrats critical of him did not challenge him, answering his own question by asserting they would have lost if they had.
“Why didn’t they run against me then? Because I’d have beaten them,” Biden asserted.
The reporter followed up by asking if he had “any regrets.”
“No, I don’t have any regrets,” the former president said.
“There’s a lot going on and I think we’re at a really difficult moment. Not only in American history, but in world history. I think we’re at one of those inflection points in history where the decisions we make in the next little bit are going to determine what things look like in the next 20 years,” he added. “I’ve been talking about that for a long time. And I’m very proud. I put my record as president against any president at all.”
The former president was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bones on May 16, his personal office announced on May 18. Biden also updated reporters about his cancer treatment after his speech.
“It’s all a matter of taking a pill, one particular pill. And for the next six weeks, and then another one,” he said. “And the expectation is we’re gonna be able to beat this. It’s not in any organ. My bones are strong. It hasn’t penetrated. So I’m feeling good.”
During the speech, Biden couldn’t quite finish reciting the most famous line in the Declaration of Independence.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equal, endowed by their Creator, with certain unalienable rights, life, liberty, pursuit of ha — we made it!” he yelled. “That’s who we are! That’s what makes America the most unique nation in the world. Literally, not figuratively.”
The announcement of Biden’s diagnosis came just two days before the release of “Original Sin.”
Biden had a disastrous debate performance against President Donald Trump on June 27. He dropped out of the race on July 21 and endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris, who lost all seven swing states and the popular vote to Trump in November.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
