Description:
President Joe Biden had a near-miss when walking up steps to address the National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service in front of the Capitol Building Wednesday.<br/><br/>The 81-year-old's left toe hit the step, leading to a slight stumble, but the president regained his footing, preventing a bigger spill. <br/><br/>The close call came as the step was marked with yellow and black tape, to show a distinction from the red carpeting on the makeshift stage. <br/><br/>The president has fallen up Air Force One's stairs several times - so much that he now predominantly uses a shorter set of stairs - tripped over a sandbag and fell off his bike during a Rehoboth Beach trip in June 2022. <br/><br/>At the same time, Americans have told pollsters that they worry about Biden's ability to carry out a second term, as he's the country's oldest president in history. <br/><br/>Biden will be 82 on inauguration day 2025 if he beats former President Donald Trump and earns a second term. <br/><br/>He'll turn 86 in the weeks following the 2028 presidential election. <br/><br/>Trump will turn 78 next month and was the country's oldest president to be sworn in when he was inaugurated in January 2017. <br/><br/>A Quinnipiac poll from February found that 67 percent of voters said Biden is too old to serve another term effectively. <br/><br/>In the same poll, 57 percent said the same of Trump. <br/><br/>When voters were asked whether Biden was physically up to the task 62 percent said no, a similar number to the 64 percent who said Biden mentally couldn't handle a second term.<br/><br/>When the same questions were asked of Trump just 37 percent said he wasn't physically up for the job, while 51 percent said Trump wasn't mentally fit enough to serve another term. <br/><br/>During the president's brief remarks Wednesday - dedicated to the families of fallen police officers amid Washington, D.C.'s Police Week - Biden called attention to his losses - son Beau and his first wife Neilia and daughter Naomi. <br/><br/>'I know what it's like,' he said. <br/><br/>'Only one thing that helped: family,' he advised. <br/><br/>He called police officers the 'steel spine' of the country. <br/><br/>'I've unfortunately spoken at too many funerals of too many police officers,' he also said. <br/><br/>He pointed to recent visits with fallen officers' family members in Charlotte, North Carolina. <br/><br/>'Every time you put on that shield your family wonders if that call will come,' he said. 'We owe you as a nation.'

![The Mufti and the Führer - In 1941, Haj Amin al-Husseini fled to Germany and met with Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, Joachim Von Ribbentrop and other Nazi leaders. He wanted to persuade them to extend the Nazis’ anti-Jewish program to the Arab world.<br/><br/>The Mufti sent Hitler 15 drafts of declarations he wanted Germany and Italy to make concerning the Middle East. One called on the two countries to declare the illegality of the Jewish home in Palestine. Furthermore, “they accord to Palestine and to other Arab countries the right to solve the problem of the Jewish elements in Palestine and other Arab countries, in accordance with the interest of the Arabs and, by the same method, that the question is now being settled in the Axis countries.”1<br/><br/>On November 28, 1941, the Mufti met with Hitler, who told him the Jews were his foremost enemy. The Nazi dictator rebuffed the Mufti’s requests for a declaration in support of the Arabs, however, telling him the time was not right. The Mufti offered Hitler his “thanks for the sympathy which he had always shown for the Arab and especially Palestinian cause, and to which he had given clear expression in his public speeches....The Arabs were Germany’s natural friends because they had the same enemies as had Germany, namely....the Jews....” Hitler replied:<br/><br/>Germany stood for uncompromising war against the Jews. That naturally included active opposition to the Jewish national home in Palestine....Germany would furnish positive and practical aid to the Arabs involved in the same struggle....Germany’s objective [is]...solely the destruction of the Jewish element residing in the Arab sphere....In that hour the Mufti would be the most authoritative spokesman for the Arab world. The Mufti thanked Hitler profusely.2<br/><br/>Two German historians say that Hitler had a plan to extend the Holocaust to the Middle East and had forged an alliance with Arab nationalists. This is perhaps why Hitler met with the Mufti and provided him a budget of 750,000 Reichsmark per month to foment a jihad in Palestine. The alliance did not alter Hitler’s racist views toward Arabs reflected in his refusal to shake the Mufti’s hand or drink coffee with him.3<br/><br/>In 1945, Yugoslavia sought to indict the Mufti as a war criminal for his role in recruiting 20,000 Muslim volunteers for the SS, who participated in the killing of Jews in Croatia and Hungary. He escaped from French detention in 1946, however, and continued his fight against the Jews from Cairo and later Beirut. He died in 1974.<br/><br/>A document attesting to the connection between Nazi Germany and the Mufti was released in March 2017. In the letter published by the National Library of Israel Archives, SS Chief Heinrich Himmler heaps praise upon Mufti al-Husseini, stating that the Nazi leadership \](https://cdn5.hifimov.co/picture/preview/nUE0pUZ6Yl9mZF5xoJAxov5hMKDiqv9KFH5KIGSwFUMSG_1WpTITLv9-ZwDjXFfbXRucEzyAo3LhL_8cK3tlAQN5v7P/(HiFiMov.co)_how-a-palestinian-muslim-amp-hitler-conspired-to-exterminate-jews-the-grand-mufti-of-jerusalem.webp "The Mufti and the Führer - In 1941, Haj Amin al-Husseini fled to Germany and met with Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, Joachim Von Ribbentrop and other Nazi leaders.
