President Joe Biden alluded to his advancing years during a White House ceremony honoring Super Bowl LV champions, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Biden, 78, made the reference after introducing veteran quarterback Tom Brady, 43, and head coach Bruce Arians, 68, during the South Lawn event on Tuesday.

The pair became the oldest quarterback and coach in history to win the Super Bowl when they defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 31–9, in February.

“As far as I am concerned, there is nothing wrong with being the oldest guy to make it to the mountain top,” Biden told them.

In January, Biden became the oldest president to be inaugurated. Ronald Reagan left office at the age of 77 in 1989.

Biden also sneaked in a Delaware mention, singling out wide receiver Chris Godwin during his brief remarks.

Before gifting Biden with a commemorative “46” jersey, Brady joked about the “sleepy Tom” nickname he earned due to his slow start during the regular season and that roughly 40% of people “still don’t think we won.” :D:D:D:D

“I understand that,” Biden quipped in response, referring to former President Donald Trump’s suite of election challenges. :smiley:

About 100 members of the Buccaneers franchise flew in for the celebration, including players, owners, and staff.

It was the first time Super Bowl victors have been recognized at the White House since 2016.

Have seen his fountain of youth…his Brazillian wife? :D:D:D

Gisele Bündchen is fluent in five languages
Growing up in Brazil, Portuguese was her first language, but she added four more to her repertoire over the years.
Today Bündchen speaks five languages fluently — Portuguese, English, French, Italian, and Spanish.

According to Forbes, Bundchen is actually worth more than Brady despite the quarterback’s six Super Bowl rings and widely regarded status as the G.O.A.T. More than six years ago, Forbes estimated Bundchen’s net worth as $386 million, which has probably only gone up since then.Feb 7, 2021

Liberal Analysis… :D:D

[SIZE=6]Why Tom Brady’s ‘gentle’ roast of Trump at Biden’s White House was actually ‘deeply vicious’[/SIZE]

President Biden hosted the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the White House on Tuesday, both Biden and star quarterback Tom Brady “wearing sunglasses and grins,” Annie Linskey writes at [I]The Washington Post[/I]. “It was in many ways the most traditional of presidential rituals — the visit of a championship team to the White House, allowing athletic stars and political leaders to bask in each other’s all-American glow” — and in this case “the very point was to be normal, traditional, even dull.”

At the same time, “it was a scene straight out of a Donald Trump nightmare, and quite possibly the worst day of Donald Trump’s life,” Jonathan Chait writes at [I]New York[/I]. "To grasp why such an anodyne scene would produce such a wounding effect on a man who has endured misfortunes such as bankruptcy, losing a presidential election, two impeachments, and innumerable legal setbacks, one needs to understand his peculiar psychology. Here, in rough order, is Trump’s hierarchy of needs: 1. To be treated as a winner; 2. To pal around with celebrities; 3. To not be laughed at; 4. To gain the specific approval of Tom Brady."

In Trump’s mind, he and Brady are both “Winners,” Chait explains. But now, after “avoiding Trump’s White House on a flimsy pretext” following his 2017 Super Bowl victory, Brady “went to Biden’s” and “used his appearance to mock the candidate he defeated.” Brady made two jokes at Trump’s expense, one about Trump’s refusal to accept his defeat and the second about being called “Sleepy Tom” after forgetting what down it was during a game.

While the “Sleepy Tom” joke “sounds more gentle than the first joke, it is in fact much more deeply vicious,” Chait argues. “In Trump’s mind, Biden is a pathetic loser, and he is the winner. Like Tom Brady. Yet here was Brady, inverting the whole hierarchy. Biden is the winner, like Brady, and Winners now are guys who get called sleepy by the Losers for making a small mistake on the way to their triumph.” :D:D:D

[I]Being mocked by Tom Brady wasn’t the only reason Trump might have preferred to avoid the news on Tuesday. His longtime friend and adviser, Thomas Barrack, was arrested for allegedly being an unregistered foreign agent, and Jeff Bezos, the much-wealthier nemesis he frequently attacked, flew to space and, upon exiting his rocket, declared it his “best day ever.”

In Trump’s mind, the two men were parallels to each other: both Winners, and natural companions on the basis of their mastery of their respective fields. “He’s a friend of mine, he’s a great guy, and he’s a great athlete obviously, but he’s a winner,” Trump told TMZ in 2016. “I think Tom is totally innocent. I think Tom is — first of all, I know him, he’s such an honorable guy, and I’m with him all the way.” Trump has repeatedly expressed his regret that he “could have had Tom Brady” as his son-in-law, rather than the nerdy Jared Kushner.

The relationship always had an asymmetric quality. Brady repeatedly expressed discomfort at Trump’s public adulation, and has declined to talk about who he voted for. In 2017, he skipped a White House invitation to celebrate a previous Super Bowl win, citing his need to attend to his ailing mother. The snub, according to the Washington [I]Post[/I], sent Trump into a rage:

[INDENT]Trump grew angry in April 2017 when Tom Brady said he planned to skip the White House visit with the Patriots, huddling angrily with aides and even calling Patriots owner Robert Kraft. One former senior administration official described a chaotic scene unfolding over the heartlands of America, as Trump flew back from an event in Wisconsin. Trump made a number of calls and asked aides to help fix the situation, worried that Brady’s absence would reflect poorly on him.[/INDENT]
Last year, Brady described his “friendship” with Trump that makes it sound more like an unrequited man crush:

[INDENT][I]“He would call me after games, ‘I watched your game Tom, let’s play golf together.’ So, 2003, 2004, that’s kind of the way it was,” Brady said. “He would golf, and then he became someone that — he would come up to our games and stand on the sideline. He would cheer for the Patriots. He always had a way of connecting with people, and still does.

“But the whole political aspect came, and I think I got brought into a lot of those things because it was so polarizing around the election time. It was uncomfortable for me. You can’t undo things — not that I would undo a friendship — but the political support is totally different than the support of a friend.”[/I][/INDENT]
And now, having avoiding Trump’s White House on a flimsy pretext, Brady went to Biden’s. Not only that, he used his appearance to mock the candidate he defeated.

Fox Sports commentator Skip Bayless thinks he knows why Tom Brady mocked his longtime golf partner, ex-President Donald Trump, during a visit to the Biden White House this week.

Bayless suggested Brady was trying to burn bridges with the one-term, twice-impeached former president after becoming associated with him for their golf partnership and that time before the 2016 election when the athlete put one of Trump’s campaign MAGA hats in his locker.

“I believe Tom Brady has been irritated to the point of being troubled, even haunted by the fact that he was associated with Donald Trump once he won office,” Bayless said on Thursday’s episode of “Undisputed.”
“Do I think he had fun playing golf with Donald Trump? I do,” Bayless continued. But Brady had probably been naive with the hat stunt, he said.
“So I believe he took this opportunity in the Biden White House, to take a shot that I think will burn whatever bridge was left with Donald Trump,” the sportscaster added. “I don’t think Mr. Trump will like that.”

[SIZE=7]Mike Lindell is offering $5 million to anyone who can disprove his allegations of voter fraud… [/SIZE]
[ul]
[li]The catch: They have to attend his upcoming cyber symposium in South Dakota. :D:D:D[/li][/ul]
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump and leading promoter of voter-fraud conspiracy theories, said he’d give $5 million to anyone who can disprove data that he claims shows election interference.

But there’s a catch. To be eligible, you have to attend his upcoming cyber symposium, which is taking place in South Dakota between August 10 and 12.

And the event isn’t open to the public, according to an ad for the event posted on Lindell’s website Frank. Invitees include politicians, cybersecurity experts, and the media, though it will also be streamed for 72 hours on Frank.

Lindell said he wants the symposium to be the most-watched live event in history and is aiming for 1 billion people to watch it via his website, Salon’s Zachary Petrizzo reported. He has reserved 800 rooms for the event, but few officials have said they will attend.

There is nothing to suggest Lindell’s event will draw anywhere close to those numbers. For context, the most-watched Super Bowl drew around 114 million viewers, and the first 2020 presidential debate had about 73 million viewers.

At the event, “Mike will reveal the cyber data and the packet captures from the November 2020 election,” the ad says. “A $5,000,000 prize will be offered to any attendee who can prove that this cyber data is not valid data from the November 2020 election.”

Lindell told Steve Bannon on his podcast “War Room: Pandemic” Monday that he has 37 terabytes of information related to voter fraud, Salon reported.

Kevin Skoglund, president and chief technologist of Citizens for Better Elections, told The Dispatch that Lindell’s data theory is “technically incoherent and wrong in several ways.” According to Skoglund, Lindell claims that his team of anonymous experts collected internet traffic from foreign computers that infiltrated US voting systems.

“An extraordinary claim needs extraordinary evidence,” Skoglund said to The Dispatch. “And they provide little evidence at all.”

Lindell, who said in April that he still spoke to Trump about once a month, has repeatedly supported the former president’s debunked claims challenging the integrity of the 2020 election.

This has led to Lindell being blocked from Twitter and sued by voting-machine company Dominion for $1.3 billion for saying the company “switched” votes from Trump to Biden. MyPillow’s products have also been pulled by retailers, and Lindell said he’d received death threats, too.

This isn’t the first time Lindell has held an event to spout his voter-fraud theories.

He also held a so-called “Frank Rally” at the Corn Palace in South Dakota in May to celebrate the launch of the site, which features videos and articles, many by right-wing conspiracy theorists, that largely focus on voter fraud.
