For some time now, honest political commentators have been pointing out the obvious decline of Joe Biden. Physically, he has fallen off his bike, on stage, and on the stairs of Air Force One more than once.
These incidents became so much of a concern that Biden started using the "baby stairs" to enter Air Force One to limit the potential for an accident.
President Biden no longer walks with confidence, rather he shuffles.
He started using special shoes to help him stay upright. However, after the debate on Thursday night, his wife had to make sure he did not fall, so she assisted him as he gingerly descended a few stairs from the debate stage.
Yet, whatever physical decline he has suffered is minimal compared to the massive mental deterioration that has seemingly occurred.
Comparing his performance in the 2012 vice presidential debate to the debate on Thursday night shows that Biden is a shell of his former self.
He was always a blowhard and skewed facts, but the Biden of 2024 cannot clearly communicate any message coherently.
In the debate on Thursday night of last week, Biden gave the worst performance of any presidential candidate in modern American history.
No other televised presidential debate performance comes close to Biden’s humiliation.
When he was not incoherent or repeating himself, Biden looked bewildered with his mouth agape. He looked older than 81 years of age.
It was a truly pathetic, if not terrifying spectacle, to those Americans who understand the immense power of the presidency.
Nonetheless, this televised collapse was no surprise to Americans who watched Biden "in action" during his term as president.
It did expose the misleading glossing over on the part of Democratic politicians, less than honest journalists, disgraceful celebrities, shameful left wing consultants, and left wing pollsters.
All vouching for Joe Biden's mental acuity and vigor.
A multitude of these political hacks claimed that Biden was, actually "a political Einstein" with an amazing command of the facts and a brilliant mind.
Who can forget the impeached Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas asserting on NBC's "Meet the Press" a few months ago that "The most difficult part about a meeting with President Biden is preparing for it because he is sharp, intensely probing and detail-oriented and focused."
Not to be outdone, on the same program, former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, a national co-chair of his reelection campaign, blasted questions about his mental condition as "just a bucket of B.S." Landrieu claimed that he was a Biden expert, "knowing him for 30 years," and because of this history, "I’m telling you, this guy is tough. He’s smart. He’s on his game."
What game, Mr. Landrieu?
The political games being played by Democrats could cause a catastrophe for our nation, and globally. It's genuinely frightening to consider that this mentally diminished man is commander in chief, responsible for our nuclear arsenal and our military forces.
From the beginning of his presidency, Biden has not been up for the most rigorous and powerful position in the world.
His handlers knew it, the media knew it, Democrats knew it, and, sadly, Republicans knew it as well.
Beginning in January of 2021, Republicans in Congress should have demanded that Biden submit to a mental competency test or be subjected to removal via the 25th Amendment.
Sadly, only Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, has consistently raised the issue of Biden’s mental incompetence.
Jackson is qualified to discuss the issue.
He served as the White House physician for presidents Obama and Trump.
Following the debate of last week, he told the New York Post that Biden is suffering from "cognitive disease."
He noted this debilitating condition is a "national security issue."
Jackson said, "As an American, I think he needs to step down and he needs to be immediately removed from office."
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, Jackson’s colleague, is calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked, and for Biden to exit the White House.
Rep. Roy posted on social media that he filed a "resolution to urge VP Harris to convene the Cabinet and declare President Biden unable to carry out his duties as commander in chief."
When such a declaration, with the approval of at least 50% of the cabinet, is sent to Congress, the vice president automatically becomes acting president.
This would give the nation another disaster, Acting President Kamala Harris.
As Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said on Fox's "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo," Harris "would be worse than Joe Biden."
He added, the removal of the president would require "the president's own Cabinet pulling the plug there, and . . . these are the people who have been complicit in covering up what we all saw on the debate stage on Thursday night."
After years of covering for the "sharp" Joe Biden, Democrats received their just deserts following the debate. The political fallout from their ruse is just beginning.
