OPINION:
In a recent speech to Democrat governors reported by The New York Times, President Joe Biden said he needs to stop doing stuff after 8 p.m. because he has to get to bed earlier.
Talk about a tip-off to the enemy. What a gift. Anyone want to attack America? Hello, China? Hi there, Iran? Howdy, all you ISIS-linked illegals who’ve crossed into this country and disappeared? Simply wait until about 8:30 pm or so — eastern time, by the way.
That’s plenty of time for the president of the free world to crawl into bed, down his sippy cup of warm milk, and drift into dreamless sleep. Bon voyage! Let the good times roll.
“Biden’s comments about needing more rest came shortly after The New York Times reported that current and former officials have notices that the president’s lapses over the past few months have become more frequent and more pronounced,” The New York Times then wrote.
It’s interesting that The New York Times is suddenly reporting of the befuddled Biden, and doing it in a self-congratulatory way that suggests it’s got the scoop on Biden’s befuddled state — when Biden’s been befuddled since Day One of White House office, and The New York Times was one of the leading news outlets that has covered up Biden’s befuddled mind for years. This is how Democrats and leftists roll, though; they use and exploit until there’s nothing left to use and exploit, and then out with the trash the used and exploited go.
Biden’s been the Democrat Party’s puppet, pushing globalist, Marxist and anti-America agendas into this nation’s politics and culture, all the while giving cover to those who are seeking to destroy the Constitution, destroy the concept of individualism and usher in a state of total top-down governance: communist, at root; collectivist, at the core.
Who’s running things?
That’s been the constant question since Biden’s taken to the White House because everybody knows — everybody, even the artfully dodging and deceiving and denying press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre — everybody but everybody knows this president is mentally unfit to serve. Or think. Or talk. He just self-identified as a black woman, for crying out loud.
“Biden calls himself America’s ‘first Black woman to serve with Black president’ in latest slip up,” Money Control wrote.
“In a clip of the interview,” Money Control continued, “that is being shared widely on social media, Biden can be heard stumbling over his words and struggling to find the right phrase.”
That’s been his manner of speaking all along, actually. It’s just that now, different from the previous three-plus years, Biden’s adoring fans in the media have been able to cover up his mental incapacities, mostly by gaslighting and pretending they don’t exist. Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes truth; that’s been the go-to tool of the left on all things having to do with Biden’s brain power. But even his biggest base supporters saw how far off the deep end he’s strayed during his debate with Donald Trump. Now even Disney’s multi-millionaire heiress, Abigail Disney, has seen Biden’s sickness and said she’s pulling all her money from the Democrat Party until the Democrat Party has pulled Biden from the ballots.
Ouch.
It’s one thing for Democrats to support an Alzheimer patient for president. It’s another thing entirely for Democrats to be paupers while they support their Alzheimer patient for president. That’s going too far, man. Who will pay for the private flights to all the climate change conferences around the world?
So it’s not only some Democrats and Democrat Party funders who are turning against Biden. Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas openly called for Biden to withdraw; CNN said more than two dozen other party officials have privately called for the same. But it’s also the media.
It’s also many in the media who’ve been longtime shills, err, supporters of Biden are now telling him it’s time to step aside. They’re reporting openly on what conservatives have been saying for years; they’re no longer carrying the water for this administration by pretending all the criticisms about Biden’s mental conditions are right-wing conspiracies.
“Biden’s Democratic wall of support is cracking and unstable,” MSNBC wrote.
“CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta: Biden Must Do Cognitive Testing and Release Results,” The Daily Beast wrote.
“Biden’s physical aging became more apparent in recent months,” The Washington Post wrote.
“Jake Tapper Shuts Downs Democratic Congressman’s Defense of Biden After Bad Debate: ‘With All Due Respect, Sir …,’” Mediaite wrote.
The walls of Biden’s defense are crumbling. The lies of Biden’s health are getting too obvious to spin. And now Biden wants an 8 o’clock bedtime to make his mind work better?
Biden can go to bed as early as he wants. That won’t change the fact he’s utterly incompetent to serve. You can’t wake brain dead by getting more sleep. That’s why it’s called dead.
