Really? As I recall, we had about three days at the range...maybe two. I suppose you could consider that a long time.

The more he opens his mouth the stupider he appears.
One word...Tulsa. The Tulsa shooter bought his gun just two hours before he killed people. Biden once again displays just how big a moron he really is.

I'm pretty sure the grade of school staff he's referring to, the Momma teacher, can reach down and produce significant reason to lay waste to intruders. They say the fiercest animal in the jungle is the Momma tiger. Enter, the armed kindergarten teacher w/ 32 cubs. Hopefully she's not been taught herself that she's useless. W/ some training, she would be highly feared. It's not for everyone but the constant "you can't train or be prepared for this", gets old.

Yeah…shows how much he knows. I had more time in boot camp in Seamanship class than the actual three days at the range shooting.
In the police academy we spent a week at the range. One day for safety and nomenclature and shooting until you qualified. It only took me one time and I passed with a 100% , so I literally only shot on one day. I was allowed to study the rest of the week.

Biden Awkwardly Claims Saudi Visit Really About Israel, Not Gas Prices
President Joe Biden awkwardly claimed that his planned Saudi trip, where it's expected he'll mend ties with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) and 'move on' from the issue of the Jamal Khashoggi murder, has not much to do with energy. He had this exchange with reporters outside of Air Force One on Sunday:
Reporter: "Have you decided, sir, whether to go to Saudi Arabia?"
Biden: "No, not yet."
Reporter: "What would be holding up the decision at this point? Are there commitments you’re waiting for from the Saudis on the negotiations over peace talks?"
Biden: "No, no, the commitments from the Saudis don't relate to anything to do with energy."
Axios wrote the same day based on Israeli sources that the trip will come in mid-July and is to include a stop in Israel and the Palestinian Authority. A formal announcement is expected early in the week, as soon as Monday.
"Three Israeli officials told Axios Biden is expected to visit Israel and the Palestinian Authority on July 14 and 15 before traveling on to Saudi Arabia. The White House has not confirmed those dates, and the Israeli officials all warned that the timing had shifted several times and could change again," Axios wrote.
But it's not fundamentally about the White House begging the Saudis to pump more oil? The assertion might be within the realm of believability if Biden hadn't also recently dispatched officials to repair severed ties with Maduro's Venezuela in a clearly desperate effort to tame oil prices.
In the Sunday exchange with reporters, Biden said further, "It happens to be a larger meeting taking place in Saudi Arabia. That’s the reason I’m going. And it has to do with national security for them – for Israelis." He continued, "I have a program, anyway. It has to do with much larger issues than having to do with the energy price."
Ironically, the Democratic president is suggesting this is really focused on a furtherance of Trump's Abraham Accords. After the UAE and Israel established ties under the accords, along with several other Arab states, there's been talk that Saudi Arabia could be next.
However, it's obvious that when the idea of a Biden-MbS meeting was first floated in March, oil production was top of the agenda - and has remained so - as Americans continue to feel pain at the pump, and Europe figures out 'what's next' with its partial Russian oil embargo amid the war in Ukraine. In Biden attempting to frame the trip as making it all about Israel and regional security, he's fooling nobody. But it appears this is the White House narrative meant to deflect from the Khashoggi killing and Biden's re-embrace of a "pariah" (Biden's own words), which a number of outside investigations have found was ordered by the crown prince himself.

What an absolute clown show of an administration
So now Joe has to go to Saudi Arabia to beg them to pump more oil (they'll tell him to pound sand, naturally) and now this:
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre laughed off a question about President Biden’s stamina after CNN’s Don Lemon asked about 2024 and beyond.
“Does the president have the stamina, physically and mentally, do you think to continue on even after 2024?” he wondered.
“Don! You’re asking me this question, oh my gosh, he’s the president of the United States. I can’t even keep up with him,” she said.
"That is not a question that we should be even asking," she added. "Just look at the work he does. And look how he's delivering for the American public."

it is very obvious how he is "delivering"

Appearing at the AFL-CIO convention today, Biden began yelling at the brotherhood. In his mind anger, violence and conflict is what he believes organized labor is all about, so his performance is designed to convey that connection. It’s more than a little weird, it’s creepy. WATCH:

Karine Jean-Pierre wants Americans to remember how things were in America on the day President Biden “walked into office.”
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre:
“We have to remember where this country was more than a year ago when he walked into office,” she said.
The Republican National Committee reminded her.
“Yeah, gas was $2.39/gal, inflation was at 1.4%, the markets were higher, and Trump was leading a great American comeback."

I'd love for the oil execs (individually or collectively) to stand up and say, "Hey, bonehead! If you hadn't killed the Keystone -- and thousands of jobs -- on day one, we wouldn't be in this mess. Don't be standing threatening us, ya jerk!"
