LOS ANGELES.–President Joe Biden, 81, demonstrated for all to see at his State-of-the-Union Speech last night that he’s not fit for office, showing the kind of angry intemperance that is commonly seen in age-related dementia. For much of his 107-mimute diatribe, Biden’s appeared hyped up on something, if nothing else coached by his handlers to show high energy but instead looked like an raving lunatic, certainly not the kind of even disposition needed to keep the world safe. Anyone watching from the European Union [EU] or NATO knows now that Biden isn’t capable of leading the United States but certainly not the NATO alliance. When it comes to political speeches, Biden’s speech writers did their job, giving the Democrat audience enough red meat to cheer about. But the speech did answer the question of Biden’s senility, showing he can’t control himself from his own internal rage.
No U.S. citizen, Democrat, Republican or independent, can allow someone with Biden’s cognitive impairments to stay in office four more years, no matter how much rancor was exhibited in his hour-plus emotional outburst. Everyone listening, except the most partisan Democrats, saw firsthand a man not in his right state of mind. Gone is any semblance of emotional or cognitive control required of any leader, certainly of the largest nuclear arsenal on the planet. Biden’s first inclination was to go after Russian President Vladimir Putin, not to push for peace in Ukraine but to pander to the crowd’s base instincts for more war. Biden let all EU and NATO allies know that if reelected, he will continue the war in Ukraine, whether it starts WW III or nuclear war. No U.S. ally can be reassured by what they saw-and-heard, an angry old man ranting like a lunatic.
Politics is the great smokescreen to cover-up the obvious that Biden cannot be trusted as commander-in-chief, certainly not with the nuclear codes. Biden has lost all touch with reality, saying Putin wants to take over Europe and the world, pretending he’s living in 1939 with Adolf Hitler starting to take over Europe before WW II. What’s equally frightening is the claptrap from Democrats in the audience all applauding the idea of unending war against the Kremlin, approving of the idea of WW III or nuclear war. What’s happened to Congress that they can see they have disabled leader, far gone from reality, requiring a Cabinet to act quickly on the 25th Amendment to remove Biden from power? No matter how distasteful the idea of 59-year-old Kamala Harris becoming president, it’s preferable over Biden who lacks the logic and internal controls for commander-in-chief.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, 51, sat in disbelief like anyone with a rational mind listening to Biden rant uncontrollably about all the laundry list contained in the rambling speech. State-Union-Speeches are so heavily scripted on a teleprompter that practically anyone could read the speech, disseminated in minute sound bites. Even so, Biden slurred many of his lines, sometimes showing the same confusion when he goes off script to speak extemporaneously. Johnson’s expressions showed an admirable degree of decorum, something he urged the GOP caucus to maintain during the speech. Except for 49-year-old Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene blurting out the name of Laken Riley, a victim of an illegal alien murder, or one Gold Star family member bellowing his against over his dead son in Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal, the GOP caucus maintained perfect decorum.
Biden left no doubt for anyone with a shred of objectivity that he’s not fit for president or any other job short of retirement. Ranting-and-raving for over an hour should be enough for anyone to tolerate, knowing that U.S. national security lies in one man’s hands who isn’t fit to for any job, let alone President of the United States. With the U.S. press so polarized against 77-year-old former President Donald Trump cheering on Biden for a second term, there’s no objective calls for Biden to step down. When Trump ran for President in 2016, a group of psychiatrists and mental health workers led by Yale University Dr. Bandi X. Lee railed publicly about Trump’s lack of mental fitness for office. Compared to Biden, Trump looks like a paragon of mental health, certainly not cognitively impaired. No, the anti-GOP psychiatrists proved to be completely phonies in their public outcries.
Biden gave no one any reassurance that he’s capable of managing his job today, tomorrow or certainly not four more years. If Biden’s Cabinet took their jobs seriously, they would have Joe removed from office immediately under the 25th Amendment. Content of Biden’s speech was partisan enough but the way it was delivered cannot pass unnoticed because it answered all remaining doubt about Biden cognitive fitness to continue in office. Biden ranted-and-raved for over an hour, not because it helped his cause because he was out-of control delivering his speech. No EU or NATO leader can possibly think that Biden is in his right mind, giving advice on how to deal with Ukraine or Russia. EU leaders knowing the risks to their countries must call forcefully for an end the Ukraine War. Biden’s belligerence toward Putin has gone over the top.
