<p>US President Joe Biden has done it again. The 81-year-old fumbled in his latest speech, and in a 'senior moment', once again echoed a false claim he has been repeating for around five years.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking during a White House event marking Greek Independence Day, Biden repeated the debunked claim about travelling 17,000 miles with Chinese Premier Xi Jinping.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Not only that, the leader appeared to have forgotten his own name and referred to the 'O'Biden&nbsp;administration.</p>

<h2><strong>17,000 miles</strong></h2>

<p>Speaking during the event, Biden retold an anecdote about a conversation he had with President Xi, where the Chinese premier asked him to define America.</p>

<p>"I was once asked by Xi Jinping, and I travelled 17,000 miles with him — I was out at the Tibetan plateau. He looked at me, and he said, 'can you define America?' I could say the same thing if he asked me to define Greece."</p>

<p>"I said, 'yes…one word' and I mean this sincerely, it's recorded, I said, 'possibilities'."</p>

<p>This claim has earned Biden a 'bottomless Pinocchio' rating from the Washington Post due to its repeated use.</p>

<p>The origins of this 17,000-mile figure are dubious at best. As per the Daily Mail, the White House has not clarified its origin, which though based on Biden's actual travel with Xi seems exaggerated.</p>

<p>The speech also included another embarrassing moment when Biden mistakenly referred to the 'O'Biden administration&nbsp;instead of Obama, leading to laughter from the crowd.</p>

Biden's latest 'senior moment': Repeats debunked claims, seemingly forgets his own name during speech

<p>Beauty pageants are often celebrated&nbsp;with crowing and tears. However, things turned a bit ugly at an LGBTQ+ &nbsp;beauty pageant contest in Brazil when an angry husband smashed the winner's crown.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The incident occurred at the finale of Miss Gay Mato Grosso 2023 in Brazil.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a video, the two drag queens Emanuelly Belini (winner) and Nathally Becker (runner-up) were seen standing in front of each other as the crown hovered above them. As per the customs of beauty pageants, after the winner is announced, the two contestants graciously hug each other. But Becker's husband had something else in his mind.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The&nbsp;video above clearly shows&nbsp;that as both queens were hugging each other, Becker's husband came on to the stage, snatched&nbsp;the crown&nbsp;and smashed&nbsp;it hard to the floor. The furious man splintered the crown made of jewels and shouted that the judgment is unfair. The man yelled out inaudible profanities as he spent a few more seconds on the stage. &nbsp;After breaking the winner's crown, he tried to pull away his wife but the security invaded and stopped him. He was resisted, chased and taken backstage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This instance shocks the audience present at the LGBTQ+ contest.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As quoted by The New York Times, Malone Haenish, the pageant's coordinator issued a statement on the incident condemning the behaviour of Becker's husband. She said, "He did not consider the result to be fair and caused all this inconvenience and damage."<br />
<br />
"We vehemently condemn the incident that occurred at the time of the crowning when the partner of Miss Cuiabá, who was classified in second place, invaded the stage and aggressively destroyed the crown," she added.</p>

<p>The authorities said that the pageant's legal team has been informed about the incident and will take action accordingly.&nbsp;</p>
