Article :Something Is Wrong with the President

National Review
quote:
On the menu today: The transcript of President Joe Biden’s interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos dropped, and the president’s incoherence, insistence that he was incorrectly briefed, denial that he was warned by his military advisers, and oddly low profile in the past week raise troubling questions about his ability to perform his duties. After making no public appearances for four days — during a major foreign crisis — President Biden read a 20-minute speech off a teleprompter on Monday afternoon and took no questions. He immediately returned to Camp David. He had no events on his schedule Tuesday. On Wednesday, he gave another 20-minute speech about vaccine boosters off a teleprompter from Camp David, and again took no questions. Also on Wednesday, the president sat for an on-camera interview with George Stephanopoulos that did not go well. According to the White House public records, Biden has had two phone conversations with foreign leaders in the past ten days — one with Boris Johnson and one with Angela Merkel. As of this writing, Biden has no public events on his schedule for today. He is scheduled to receive the president’s daily briefing from the intelligence community and meet with his national-security team. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, he is scheduled to return to his house in Delaware today. This is a highly unusual schedule for a president during a foreign-policy crisis. Yes, a president can perform his job anywhere, whether it’s Camp David or his own private residence. But Biden is barely appearing in public, not saying much of anything when he does, not answering any questions outside of his lone scheduled interview, and sounding angry when he did face questions from Stephanopoulos.
quote:
This morning, Douglas London, a former CIA counterterrorism chief and former member of Biden’s counterterrorism working group, writes that the president is lying: “Ultimately, it was assessed, Afghan forces might capitulate within days under the circumstances we witnessed, in projections highlighted to Trump officials and future Biden officials alike.” Biden not only dodged questions — we’re used to politicians doing that — he offered a barely coherent word salad in some responses: Jon Ralston, no knee-jerk critic of Biden, was appalled. “This is so bad. No mistakes? No responsibility? No contrition? My God.” The obvious answer to why Biden rarely appears on camera or takes questions is because every time he does it, he inflicts more damage upon himself and his agenda. The president whose empathy is endlessly touted now sounds cold and dismissive when asked about Afghans’ desperately crowding into American planes or falling to their deaths. All of the available evidence indicates that the president ignored the warnings of his foreign-policy team, withdrew the armed forces before evacuating the civilians, gave up Bagram Air Base, and now is in a large-scale foreign crisis that is mostly the result of his own choices. The president turns 79 in November. He last released a summary of his health condition in December 2019. In May, a White House spokesman said Biden had not had a medical checkup or taken a physical this year, but that he would by the end of the year. There have been no updates on the president’s health since. Back on July 26, John Ellis astutely analyzed how it was acceptable to acknowledge Biden’s age and mental condition if you used certain euphemisms: Somewhere along the way of the last few years, Biden transitioned from “young old” to “old.” Veteran reporters describe the transition in code. “He’s lost a step or two.” Or: “he’s lost something off his fastball.” You’re not supposed to talk about it. If you do, and you’re a Democrat, you’re scolded for aiding and abetting the enemy. If you do, and you’re a Republican or (God forbid) a MAGA voter, you’re a horrible hate-mongerer, trying to overturn the results of a free and fair election (and you probably watch Fox News to boot). The problem is that it’s there for all to see. Pretending not to see it is untenable. Something is wrong with President Biden, and we are all being asked to pretend we don’t notice.
The knives are being sharpened, and the results of the coming presidential health checkup will be the end.

Article :Something Is Wrong with the President
I've said for months it was going to be a sight to behold once word circulated that it was time to finally acknowledge this reality. Sure, honest people on the right have been talking about this for 18 months, but it was totally ignored regardless of Biden's actions.
Suddenly, this will be the new talking point once they are ready to install Kamala...and the press will behave as if this is new information to all of them. Like this slide just started and became apparent to them. The right will attempt to point out the hypocrisy, and they will be shouted down as meanies trying to kick an elderly man with dementia.
We're about to witness the gaslighting of the century.

It doesn’t matter. I appreciate your optimism, but America’s political elite are so inept and neutered by the Chinese that it doesn’t matter who is in office. The results will be the same. If we’re lucky, Kamala will accelerate the collapse while we still have a few generations capable of rebuilding.

Astounding insight.
Author must have watched with his eyes open or something.

This took some deep investigation and research Captain Obvious.

You're making a huge assumption: that we'll be give the true results of the medical exam.
I highly doubt it!
I fully agree with you, as should anyone with half a brain: there is somehting very wrong with Joe and he belongs in a nursing home.

Out with the old, in with the less old...Typical D.C. behavior.
It's the Federal government that protects itself, even from Presidents.

But no more fricking mean tweets, right?
frick every one of you that voted for him. You fricking knew what you were getting, but your hatred for Trump caused you to vote for a dementia patient with obviously failed cognitive ability.
All 60 million of you did this, and Dominion did the rest.

It’s tough to live a lie
All the libs criticized Trump relentlessly on his intelligence, but none of them were anywhere near versed in practically everything going on in the world. Trump knows so much because he was involved at the exec level, Biden is a polar opposite

Joe is in really bad shape. His health has deteriorated faster than Cankles did. I really don’t think he lives much longer.

It's amazing that us folks on this board are a year ahead of political experts who are getting paid more money than us.
