President Biden often looks like a punch-drunk old fighter sent into
the ring once too often. At this point, the only thing lower than
Biden’s approval numbers is his energy level. Is Uncle Joe too old to
rebound?

At this point, Biden is running on little more than fumes and
righteousness. In his televised antigun speech Thursday night, Biden
proclaimed that he expected most people “to turn your outrage into
making this issue [assault weapons] central to your vote.” Biden’s
histrionic spiel was far more likely to turbo-charge gun owners than
gun banners and could be another coffin nail for Democratic candidates
in middle America. Biden perennially tells audiences that banning
assault weapons is justified because the Second Amendment didn’t
permit Americans to own cannons—a falsehood that even The Washington
Post has repeatedly derided.

Inflation is the top issue by a wide margin for Americans nowadays.
Biden’s inflation will soon have inflicted a 10 percent cut in the
purchasing power of Americans’ paychecks. But Biden is indignant at
criticism of his policies. When Peter Doocy of Fox News asked about
the impact in January, Biden called him “a stupid son of a bitch.” In
a March speech to Democratic members of Congress, Biden raged at being
blamed for inflation: “I’m sick of this stuff!…We have to talk about
it because the American people think the reason for inflation is the
government spending more money. Simply. Not. True.”

Biden first tried to blame greedy corporations for inflation and then
began railing about “Putin’s price hikes.” Didn’t work. Last week, The
Washington Post revealed that Biden now blames White House aides who
“were not doing a good job explaining the causes of inflation and what
the administration is doing about it.” But his aides have a hell of a
challenge when Biden boasts “a gallon of gas is down 14 percent
today”—as he claimed based solely on a happy fantasy on March 9. Even
wackier? Last Friday, Biden boasted that Americans feel more
“financially comfortable,” thanks to his policies.

Biden won in 2020 in part because he promised in the final debate:
“I’m going to shut down the virus.” Biden bet his presidency on covid
vaccines. When their efficacy faded, Biden dictated a “jab or job”
ultimatum to more than a hundred million Americans. The Supreme Court
rebuffed most of that mandate but not before the omicron variant was
causing a million new cases a day and obliterating Biden’s covid
victory boasts. Last month, the White House predicted up to a hundred
million new covid cases this fall—after the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention admitted that almost half of covid fatalities
now are among the fully vaxxed. In lieu of more reliable vaccines,
Team Biden is pressuring social media companies to crack down on
“disinformation” that casts doubts on presidentially ordained
injections.

Biden has a long DC reputation for trampling the facts. His first
presidential bid collapsed in the late 1980s, thanks to his brazen
plagiarism of a British politician. But the Democrats in 2020 were
desperate to find someone who could defeat Donald Trump. Their
verdict: “He’s a pathological liar, but he’s our pathological liar.”
During the 2020 presidential campaign, Biden was shielded by a phalanx
of media allies and former government honchos who helpfully buried
issues such as the damning revelations of Hunter Biden’s laptop (first
exposed by the New York Post).

But, regardless of how often Biden flees back to Delaware, he is in
the limelight far more than during the campaign. He struggled to find
his way off stage after a speech, and the video of him attempting to
shake hands with invisible people on stage was jolting. A decade ago,
Biden seemed mentally quick and verbally agile in battering Rep. Paul
Ryan (R-WI) in the vice presidential debate. But Biden’s verbal and
mental struggles make that stellar performance seem like a thousand
years ago.

The Biden White House discloses little or no verified medical
information on the president’s health, mental or physical. Instead,
Biden’s apologists in the media insist that he is doing fine—the same
way that much of the press corps covered for President Woodrow Wilson
after he was debilitated by a stroke.

Last month, The Washington Post reprinted a column by Bloomberg’s
Jonathan Bernstein demanding that Americans “Stop Smearing Biden’s
Mental Capacity.” Bernstein described doubts about Biden’s acuity as
“one of the many ugly things that’s happened during Joe Biden’s
presidency.” Bernstein rests his defense of Biden on the
trustworthiness of the Washington elite: “To believe that Biden is
impaired requires a belief in a massive conspiracy…by thousands of
people.”

Like the notion that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction—a Bush scam
to justify a war that was supported in lockstep by most of the media
and the Washington establishment? Or the notion that the Federal
Reserve flooding the nation with increasingly worthless currency is
good for America—another beloved myth embraced by the Beltway?

A poll last month showed that 53 percent of Americans doubted whether
Biden was “mentally fit” for the presidency. Who knew that antigeezer
prejudice would explode during Uncle Joe’s reign? But even 51 percent
of senior citizens doubt Biden’s mental competence for office. That
the official scorekeepers ruled that Biden won eighty-one million
votes in the 2020 election is supposedly the only proof of
“competence” that matters.

Perhaps there is only one proof of Biden’s mental capacity that
matters in Washington: he is delivering the conflict with Russia that
the Democratic Party has craved since Hillary Clinton made anti-Russia
agitation a linchpin of her 2016 presidential campaign. Biden’s
hysterical denunciations of Vladimir Putin have endeared him to DC
insiders itching to drag this nation into a military conflict that
they know most Americans would not support if the full facts and risks
were presented to them.

The White House, State Department, CIA, and Pentagon have provided
almost zero credible evidence on how the military conflict between
Russia and Ukraine is proceeding. Instead, Biden has been the front
man for a fairy tale that pretends that providing almost unlimited
U.S. government aid and weapons to a corrupt regime in Kiev will
create a historic victory for democracy everywhere.

But Russia’s unjust invasion and atrocities against civilians do not
purify a Ukrainian regime that has been abusing its own people for
decades. In effectively opposing any peace talks between Putin and
Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Team Biden has simply assured more pointless
deaths on both sides.

Biden is a listless president surrounded by aides with broken
compasses. Biden’s worst pummeling could occur if Democrats lose
control of Congress in November. Republican committees will be
investigating an array of potential abuses of power that Team Biden
has successfully buried (at least according to media scorekeeping) so
far. Unless Biden can make it a hate crime to attach “I did this!”
stickers to gas pumps, his support will keep draining away every time
Americans fill up their tanks.
