Biden's Mental Decay

If the press is willing to cover-up Biden’s dementia - then what other
stories are they euthanizing?

The President of the sole global superpower is confounded by a
teleprompter. The Commander in Chief of the most powerful military in
the world, with 700+ military spanning the globe and nearly 4,000
nuclear warheads, can barely make it through public appearances.

He wouldn’t pass a driver’s test, unable to distinguish between a
pedestrian or a stop sign. But he has his finger on the nuclear
trigger.

Just this week he was defeated (yet again) by text on a screen. “End
of quote. Repeat the line.” Watch this:

Then there was the cover-up. One can imagine the emergency meeting of
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, et al. They’re already
dealing with record inflation, a tanking stock market, and the economy
on a verge of a recession. What do they say to that? They claim the US
is “stronger economically than we have been in history,”

And now they’re left with this mess to clean up. They’re probably
thankful, in a way. Another Biden public screw-up is a welcome relief
compared to addressing formula shortages. They’ve handled his gaffes
before. To the rescue was Assistant White House Press Secretary Emilie
Simons to cover for her boss. She falsified Biden’s statement, begging
the public to ignore the words from Biden’s mouth.

    No. He said, "let me repeat that line."

The official White House website has doubled-down on the denial of
reality, making up words that were never said to protect a President
who may not be able to remember what he had for breakfast.

This isn’t Biden’s first public embarrassment, and it certainly won’t
be his last. Those who have been paying close attention know they’re a
regular occurrence. There will be another one in a few days. His
public appearances are, for the most part, heavily scripted and before
a friendly audience. Say a few words and talk to some folks before
making an exit. And President Biden isn’t up to the challenge,
vanquished by the easiest parts of his presidency.

There was the time he tried to “shake thin air” after a speech and
walked off stage bewildered, unsure of where to go.

Or, recall his fumbled introduction of Judge Ketanji Jackson. “America
is a nation that can be defined in a single word: ASUFUTIMAEHAEHUTBW.”

And when he was rescued from questions on foreign policy by the Easter Bunny.

And when Biden checked his notes to answer a question about Russia in
a staged appearance at a general store.

Apparently he goes nowhere without the paper crutch prepared by his
handlers. Issues relating to Russia - from the war in Ukraine to the
expansion of NATO, etc. - are certainly briefed to the President on a
daily basis. And his memory is so bad, his intellect is so defeated,
that he cannot recall his constant briefing.

If you need further proof of his mental state, there’s this “cheat
sheet,” where he is instructed on how and when to enter the room and
leave the room.

“YOU enter the Roosevelt room…”

“YOU take your seat.”

“YOU depart.”

The troubling thing is that most of the presidency is off-script.

How do you address inflation and families being priced-out of
groceries when you struggle through a press conference?

How do you formulate a strategy about China or Russia when you rely on
a cheat sheet for a 5-minute meeting?

Make no mistake, Biden’s senility is one of the biggest stories in the
world. The media’s silence on this matter is telling. Never before has
the press tried to so hard to ignore so big a story (I venture this is
bigger than Hunter’s laptop), as they’re afraid of what a correct
assessment of Biden’s facilities might reveal. Ask whether
Dementia-in-Chief is a threat to national security or economic
recovery.

Also revealing is the media’s attempts to explain-away or otherwise
repackage Biden’s mental and physical deficiencies. Peter Baker,
writing for The New York Times, says Biden’s “age has increasingly
become an uncomfortable issue for him, his team and his party.” Of
course, Biden’s age isn’t the issue per se - it’s Biden’s mind. “Age”
is just The New York Times’ way of being polite, of serving the Biden
Administration.

To make matters worse, there was the unbelievable “uniform” reporting
of Biden’s competence by those interviewed by Baker:

    In interviews, some sanctioned by the White House and some not,
more than a dozen current and former senior officials and advisers
uniformly reported that Mr. Biden remained intellectually engaged,
asking smart questions at meetings, grilling aides on points of
dispute, calling them late at night, picking out that weak point on
Page 14 of a memo and rewriting speeches like his abortion remarks on
Friday right up until the last minute.

Those comments by Biden’s closest advisors and Democrat officials are
certainly contrasted by how they treat Biden, and Baker unfortunately
makes no effort to push-back on that point. As Baker concedes: “He
stays out of public view at night and has taken part in fewer than
half as many news conferences or interviews as recent predecessors.”

“Out of public view at night.” Could it be because Biden struggles
with sundowning, which causes confusion, aggression, anxiety, and
depression? Baker doesn’t ask.

But - if you have any concerns about Biden’s health or acuity - don’t
worry. The New York Times has found experts that “put Mr. Biden in a
category of ‘super-agers’ who remain unusually fit as they advance in
years.”

Sadly, Baker doesn’t challenge that conclusion either. And what an
easy challenge it would have been.

There’s the old cliché that journalists must speak truth to power. As
Chomsky once observed, speaking truth to power is pointless because
the powerful already know the truth. Better to speak truth to the
powerless. As to Biden’s age-related failures - dare I say dementia -
the press has chosen to avoid speaking the truth to the power and the
powerless.

How much it matters is another story. This is likely a one-term
president and the public is seeing Biden’s real-time deterioration for
themselves.

But - if the press is willing to cover-up Biden’s dementia - then what
other stories are they euthanizing?
