SLEEPY JOE: Biden appears to fall asleep while listening to first speakers at COP26 after packed weekend meeting the Pope and the G20 in Rome

President Biden's whirlwind European tour appears to be catching up with him, as the 78-year-old was caught resting his eyes during the opening remarks of the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow on Monday.

The president looked to be dozing off as one speaker underscored the importance of taking action to save the climate. He opened his eyes and appeared to liven up when an aide walked up to him to chat.

Biden then sat forward and rubbed his eyes as Italy's prime minister took the stage. The latest slip from the president came just hours after he reverted to pre-approved list of reporters when asking questions at the end of the G20 summit in Rome.

The 78-year-old Biden and his fitness for the job have been scrutinized by critics, including Donald Trump, while his dropping poll numbers have put pressure on his administration and mounting crises he faces.

He hasn't released a medical report since 2019 and Jen Psaki has deflected questions about his health and coughing during speeches.

Later on, Biden himself took the stage as to deliver his own warning on the impending doom of climate change and wiped .

'Climate change is already ravaging the world,' he told a crowd at the United Nations climate summit. 'It's not hypothetical.'

The president called climate change 'the existential threat to human existence as we know it.'

'This is a decisive decade in which we have an opportunity to prove ourselves,' Biden continued. 'We can keep the goal of limiting global warming to just 1.5° C if we come together.'


'We're still falling short. There's no more time to hang back or sit on the fence or argue amongst ourselves. This is a challenge of our collective lifetimes,' he continued. 'Glasgow must be the kick-off of a decade of ambition & innovation to preserve our shared future.'

The president took a swing at Donald Trump in a separate speech at the conference. 'I shouldn't apologize but I do apologize,' Biden said of Trump taking the US out of the Paris Climate Agreement.

Biden concluded his speech: 'God bless you all and may God save the planet.'

Speakers were only allowed three minutes, but Biden's remarks went far beyond the allotment, coming in at over 11 minutes.

A digital countdown from three minutes began at the start of the speech, and after each minute a speaker went beyond the time a chime sounded. The chime went off eight times during Biden's remarks.

Pls leave the Man to sleep.
Cops26 is a gathering of Elites and World Leaders to read speeches, clap and waste tax payers monies in the Name of Climate Change.

There is nothing any leader or Nation can do about the Weather.
They know it but because of their evil motives and agendas they just gather to catch Fun and advance the work of their master, the devil.

It is not Carbon foot print that is causing the death of the planet! It is Sin, Abominations and Wickedness.

What we see happening on Earth are the Signs to make us know and Understand that JESUS Christ is coming to put an end to Sin.

Climate change as important as it is, is not such an interesting topic. Only serious academias can resist the urge to fall asleep during these lengthy boring discussions.

He did not appear to fall asleep.

He slept off.

That’s why he’s rightly called Sleepy Joe.

Like Biden like Buhari.

That’s why after the idiot condemned the Lekki Tollgate shooting during campaigns, when he took office his govt said they could establish the veracity of the shooting incident.

Onye ala!

Can you imagine all these hypocritical, mischievous people with inferiority complex, they made gods out of pale skin people and claiming their superiority just because of colour, so Biden is immune to human activities, fatigue and boredom because he is a pale skin man or US president.




Shame on you all
