LOS ANGELE.–President Joe Biden, 81, exposed for all to see at the June 27 CNN debate in Atlanta that his cognitive impairments make him a clear-and-present danger to U.S. national security. No one connected to the White House has done their Constitutional duty to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. All it would really take would be for his 73-year-old wife Jill or his 78-year-old sister Valerie Owens to ask Joe to step aside. His June 27 performance exposed for the country to see that he’s not fit to serve as president because of his age-related cognitive decline. Gone are the days after the Feb. 5 released of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report that said Biden, in June 2023, was a memory-impaired old man not fit for trial for violating confidential records. No matter how much the White House railed about Hur’s report, the truth finally came out.
Joe’s wife Jill and sister Valerie knew before the debate Joe’s mental state, not fit for answering any questions, let alone going up against 78-year-old former President Donald Trump. As former President Barack Obama’s campaign manger David Plouffe said, Biden and Trump looked 30 years apart, when there’s only three years between them. Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward, a real Democrat hack and Trump-hater, said Biden’s debate performance was an “H-Bomb,” to underscore damage to the Democrat Party. Former President Bill Clinton’s 80-year-old chief strategist James Carville said Biden has no advisers, only employees. Well, does Joe’s wife Jill Biden and Valerie Owens count as employees? Carville said he never thought it “was a nifty idea” for Joe to run in 2024. Yet the Democrat Party faces a real dilemma with Joe refusing to step aside.
Voters are angry with the Democrat Party for covering up Joe’s disabilities, thinking they can dupe voters by letting campaign ads do the talking. Biden told a small campaign audience he’s not what he used to be but he still knows his job. Yet he’s clearly not running the White House or operating as commander-in-chief, something essential to U.S. foreign policy and national security. Because Joe got the U.S. into a proxy war with the Kremlin, hasn’t done anything in Gaza and allowed Iran-backed Houthis to destroy commercial shipping in the Red Sea. Vice President Kamala Harris told CNN’s Anderson Cooper June 27 that Joe’s abysmal debate performance didn’t matter, insisting Joe’s done many good things over the last three-and-a-half years. Well, it Kamala thinks starting a proxy war with the Kremlin is a good thing, there’s little left to say.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, one of Trump’s most bitter enemies on Capitol Hill, dismissed Joe’s face-plant in the debate, saying Biden “got off to a band start,” insisting Joe’s integrity was “far better” than Trump’s “dishonesty.” Yes, Joe had more “integrity and honesty” exposing his true self to the American public after Pelosi and every other partisan hack has denied Joe’s age-related cognitive decline. Pelosi went after Special Counsel Robert Hur for daring to say in his Feb. 5 report that Joe suffered from severe memory impairments. How dare anyone say something negative about President Biden? Hur did his job and explained that he would not prosecute Joe because no jury would find him suitable to stand trial because of his old age and memory impairments. Yet Democrats, even after Joe’s June 27 debacle, continue to cover-up his cognitive disabilities.
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (D-Calif.) said something quite telling about Joe in all his recent interactions with him during his time as House Speaker. McCarthy said he couldn’t negotiate with Joe because he was so distracted most of the time all he wanted to talk about was his Corvette. McCarthy thinks no one can talk, discuss and negotiate with Joe about stepping aside and letting 58-year-old Vice President Kamala Harris run for president. McCarthy found out what everyone close to the White House knows that Joe doesn’t deal with anyone other than his wife Jill, sister Valerie and possibly his 85-year-old friend Ted Kaufman. Sending Joe out for the slaughter June 27 proves the Jill and Valerie have no intent of relinquishing their power in the White House. Embarrassing Joe was a small price to pay to hold on to the presidency.
Voters know firsthand that Democrats and the White House have duped the public about Joe’s deteriorating mental condition, reduced to a babbling, a bungling shell of his former self. White House officials, including 62-year-old Secretary of State Anton Blinken and 46-year-old National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, have both covered up Biden’s disability. They’ve helped destroy U.S. relations with Russia and China, leaving the U.S. in the most dangerous national security place since the end of WW II. No American citizen can tolerate Joe letting his wife Jill and sister Valerie run foreign policy into the ground. All of Biden’s apologists ignore the real risks of WW III and nuclear war, with Biden incapable of engaging U.S. adversaries in cooperative, pragmatic relations. Any honest appraisal knows that Biden must be replaced as President of the United States.
