America is still slack-jawed in amazement at last week’s blithering antics of President Cornholio. The guy would have to work his way up to being senile, and the fact that he was always stupid and arrogant and malicious just makes his present condition a million times worse. That the guy is manifestly unfit to be president is obvious; what is also obvious is that this guy isn’t going anywhere. It’s Trump versus Biden all the way to November. On the plus side, watching the horror of the Democrats at this spectacle is absolutely delightful.
They are trying to cope. During the disastrous news conference, you could see his guys going through the 12 stages of grief in about 30 seconds. He staggered out, barely able to construct a sentence, with spasms of unfocused anger, to make an argument that “Dammit, I am competent enough to stand trial for my crimes!” And his supporters, who remarkably still exist, Immediately rallied. This humanized him, they insisted. He was sharp as a tack. He was great. America is going to love him. Why, the citizens of this country adore the idea of someone who is so obviously senile having his withered forefinger hovering over the Big Red Button.
In my new book, “The Attack,” which is about a massive terrorist assault on America made possible by the gross incompetence of this administration, there’s a scene with the president. I portrayed him as a drooling halfwit who is barely capable of forming a sentence and utterly unable to do his job. I gave him much, much more credit than he deserves.
He’s a mess and everybody knows it, well, almost everybody. The man most certain of Biden’s intellectual qualities and leadership abilities is the only person – pretty much the only person – who has ever been certain of his intellectual qualities and leadership abilities. That is, Joe Biden himself. He’s never had a bigger fan. Those around him need to pretend that he’s not a grossly incompetent, corrupt old pervert. Their jobs depend on it. But with Biden, it’s all ego. Deep down, even he knows he’s an idiot. He knows he’s always been an idiot. He knows he’s a president so bad that Jimmy Carter looks at him with gratitude because, thanks to the Delaware Dimwit, Peanut Boy can honestly say that he’s not the worst president of the last century.
Grandpa Badfinger will never go anywhere voluntarily. Now, he may go somewhere involuntarily because the sands of the hourglass are obviously falling. There’s a substantial chance that one day we will wake up to a report that he has passed to his dubious reward and that our president is now Kamala Harris, who, remarkably, is even more incompetent than the current Moron-in-Chief.
And his supporters are doing everything they can to protect him – well, almost anything. They failed to do the most obvious thing, which is to keep that crotchety idiot away from the cameras. Who is the genius who thought it would be a good idea to send this guy out way, way, way past his bedtime, hopped up on goofballs for that amazing performance? Was there somebody who thought, “You know, if we only show America the real Joe Biden, they will totally dig it?” No one wants the real Joe Biden. That’s why they keep him in the basement. But we all know what happened. Joe Biden saw the special prosecutor’s damning report that he’s too incompetent to stand trial and he got mad, and he demanded that he go out there because he needs to believe that he is some sort of dynamic heir to George Washington and Abe Lincoln even though he’s pretty much just James Buchanan with a Ukrainian connection and a thing for showering with his daughter.
Over on MSNBC, it was an alternative universe. Not only were they thrilled about his performance, or at least pretending to be thrilled about it, but they were talking about how the Supreme Court was struggling against the overwhelming law and evidence supporting taking Joe Biden’s political enemy off the ballot because of one weird trick. You don’t react well to new and unsettling information when you’re in an echo chamber. You do what the MSNBC hacks did. You just ignore it. You just pretend it didn’t happen. You just pretend that that press conference was some sort of triumph that is going to have the American people rally around him, excited to have such a dynamic and forceful leader with a tight grasp on policy and the ability to eat solid food.
But that’s not what’s happening. The American people see this mutant for the mutant that he is. We’ve all had older relatives. We all know that they slow down. And we all know that the stupid ones get even stupider when they get senile. Compare this guy with Donald Trump, who at least can say he’s competent to stand trial on trumped-up charges while Biden can’t even face justice on valid ones. But hey, the report that Joe Biden is manifestly senile came out of the Biden Justice Department, so I guess we should treat it with a grain of salt.
Especially hilarious is how massive leftist coping has led to the narrative that this was super good for Biden’s reelection. See, the American people are seeing him as human. Except when did Americans ever want a human president? They want an exceptional president, one who’s not a clown or a buffoon. America’s not made up of Homer Simpsons, but that’s what Democrats think about us. They think we’re stupid. Now, since they hang around with other Democrats, they might be forgiven for thinking that everyone is stupid because stupid people are all they know. But Americans aren’t stupid. Americans see this guy is senile. Americans see this guy is incompetent. And Americans see that America’s enemies are going to exploit his weakness, no matter how much Biden kisses up to them.
A sensible Democrat Party would throw this ridiculous buffoon out, as well as the ridiculous buffoonnette who is his understudy. But there is no serious Democrat Party. They put Joe Biden in knowing he was senile because they could portray him as bringing back America’s normality. Well, if this is normal, sign me up for chaos. And they put Kamala Harris in because she’s a woman of favored color and thereby checks some irrelevant boxesfetishized by racist leftists. Neith er of these clowns would be within 1000 miles of the White House if the Democrat Party were a serious party. And now it’s all falling apart. It’s no shock that the party can’t deal with the mess it made.
It’s Harris/Biden all the way unless fate intervenes, and I don’t think fate is going to intervene just because watching this unfold will be so mordantly hilarious. Joe Biden is going to be on the ballot in November 2024 against Donald Trump. Let’s see how that works out.
Oh, and I’m going to go out on a limb here and predict that we’re not going to have any presidential debates.
________________________________________________________________
Hunter Biden has a train of a dozen lawyers defending him on felony indictments ranging from several counts of tax fraud to gun violations. From time to time, the contents of his laptop come up, both in these criminal trials and in civil suits. The information on the laptop is, of course, incriminating and useful to various prosecutors and litigants.
Yet Hunter himself is suing the computer repairman with whom he dropped off his laptop and never retrieved—and never paid—despite signing a waiver relinquishing ownership if and when in default of payment and claim.
But the weirdest element of the Biden labyrinth of illegality is that both Hunter and his attorneys footnote their writs and statements with the inexplicable notion that the laptop is not necessarily Hunter’s own—but then again, it could be.
In other words, they are not presenting evidence to show that either the photographs, texts, or emails are concocted, even while they are suing various parties for defamatory dissipation of the sort of true, sort of false contents. Translated: The surreal truth is that Hunter is very mad that what he did illegally in part is evidenced on his own laptop, and he wants that information either suppressed or disowned, but without perjuring himself by stating the material on his laptop is not his own—because of course it is his.
The same alternate universe surrounds Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. To prove that the Biden administration’s appointed special counsel was unprofessional and in error by referencing proof of Biden’s dementia, Biden gave a sudden and unusual press conference.
But almost immediately, he lost his temper. Biden lied numerous times in contradicting the evidence of the special counsel’s report, falsely claiming many files in question were not classified. He lied that the files were securely stored in locked cabinets when they were sloppily strewn around in boxes in a rickety garage. He falsely asserted that he had notified authorities once he discovered that he had classified files in his possession, although he did not do so for roughly another five years—just days before his administration was to appoint Jack Smith to investigate Donald Trump for many of the same alleged crimes that Biden might also have been guilty of. And inter alia, he referenced President Abd el-Fattah el–Sisi of Egypt as the president of Mexico—apparently as part of his public demonstration of his own mental cogency.
Biden further misled by damning the special counsel for supposedly prompting Biden about the date of the death of his son, the year of which Biden did not recall. But in truth, Biden himself, not Mr. Hur, brought up Beau Biden’s passing voluntarily to Mr. Hur—although again without the ability to cite the year in which he died.
Furthermore, it is President Joe Biden who serially raises the tragic death of Beau (who died in a Washington, D.C., hospital from a glioblastoma brain tumor), often among grieving gold star families, by falsely stating variations of “We lost Beau in Iraq.”
Note Biden’s general disconnect: serial lies about special counsel Hur’s report; lies that Trump’s once secure border is somehow responsible for Biden’s by-design open border; lies that Trump caused the Putin invasion of Ukraine on Biden’s watch that never occurred on Trump’s.
In the last week, Biden’s circle—press secretary Karin Jean-Pierre, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Democratic Congress representatives and senators—have all publicly emphasized not just that Biden is alert but vigorous, hale, and more dynamic than most in his briefing sessions. That alternate reality is at odds with 70-80 percent of the American people who variously poll in surveys that their president is not fit to serve and should not run for reelection. The more Biden flaks insist the President is dynamic, the more he restricts his schedule to a three-day work week, forgets where he is and what he is to say, and confuses names, dates, and people daily.
Since January 2021, the southern border has been destroyed. It no longer exists as a protective bulwark of American sovereignty. Some 8 million illegal entrants have made their way into the US—illegally, without audits, criminal background checks, English fluency, or skills to become self-supporting.
No matter: for the last 1000 days, Americans have watched on their televisions and computer screens thousands swarming the border every day, juxtaposed with assurances from recently impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Kamala Harris, and President Biden that the “border is secure.”
Now with an election looming, the Bidenites are no longer either indifferent to or preening about their accomplishments of allowing (“surging”) millions illegally into the U.S. but instead scrambling to blame their suddenly declared “secure border” on Donald Trump or Republicans in Congress. Even more bizarrely, they are blaming the Congress for not giving them new laws and more money to resecure a supposedly already declared secure border, even though Donald Trump left office in 2021 with a genuine secure border and without any need for more appropriations or legislation.
President Biden keeps bragging about Bidenomics and its role in lowering inflation (January 2024: 3.1% rate of per-annum increase) and his massive deficit spending since January 2021 of perhaps $10 trillion dollars in borrowed money that spiked interest rates threefold.
Yet Biden ignores the fact that since he was elected, the average price of consumer goods has risen 17.2 percent. Even that increase does not represent the reality that most important consumer purchases such as staple foods, appliances, automobiles, rent, mortgages, building supplies, and home purchases have soared about 30-40 percent in the last three and a half years and have neither abated nor been matched by commensurate increases in wages.
The analogy to Biden’s fallacious argument that inflation is nearly licked might be that of a victim who suffered a near-fatal, unhealed wound and is then supposed to be relieved that subsequent additional wounds were relatively minor—even as he suffers permanent injury from the initial lesion. So the more Biden praises his fiscal policies, the more the public polls reflect the fact that in just three years, accustomed consumer goods are now unaffordable.
A final example of these strange disconnects is the Biden administration’s courtship of Iran. The more it has lifted sanctions on Iran, begged to restart the Iran deal, restored funding to Iranian surrogates like Hamas, or taken the terrorist Houthis off the terrorist list, the more Iranian satellites have butchered Israelis and attacked 170 American installations. In response, the more the United States offers the boilerplate that, while Iran may have supplied such aggressors, there is no direct evidence of Iranian skullduggery to justify an accounting from Teheran.
So everyone knows Iran is at the heart of the exploding Middle East, and everybody knows that they are not supposed to say they know, lest it lead to holding Iran accountable.
What explains all these alternate realities? In a word, we are witnessing the meltdown of an entire American presidency. It was born in a 2020 Faustian bargain in which a cognitively challenged, ethically compromised candidate agreed to run by offering a pseudo-moderate veneer in exchange for the support of the far left, which in turn owned his agenda.
Since then, the Biden apparat has tried to square the circle of packaging and promoting a far-left menu that the American people did not want, delivered to them by someone who, by any fair standard, would not be able to serve as a teacher, Uber driver, or lawyer. The result was the present construct of a supposedly dynamic president promoting a traditional Democratic agenda that has succeeded brilliantly here and abroad.
And to sustain that myth requires constant deception and falsehood.
From American Greatness.
