A SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS

The steady deterioration of Joe Biden’s mental capacity is increasingly apparent. The United States literally bombed a target in Syria, and no one is quite sure who ordered that attack. Few suspect it was Joe Biden. Today, his press secretary delayed her press conference because she needed to prep Joe for his Texas visit. Seriously, the President of the United States needed to be prepped by his press secretary?

Now it appears that the State of the Union address has been delayed. My guess is that due to COVID 19, the White House will announce that the State of the Union address will be hand delivered to congress so they can read it themselves. That is, after all, the way this was handled for more than a century. Thomas Jefferson was the first president to abandon the in-person speech. It appears even he knew that although he was a gifted writer, he wasn’t exactly a great orator. That is the way every state of the union message was handled until 1913, when Wood Wilson appeared in person.

Dan Bongino is a former Secret Service agent. He was in the Presidential Protection Division for both George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Now Bongino claims that friends have told him that the Secret Service is aware of the mental decline of Joe Biden. There is no way to confirm this. Secret Service agents are famously reluctant to discuss confidential information. But it is likely that Bongino either has friends who are currently Secret Service agents or friends who know active Secret Service agents. If any Secret Service agents were going to talk about this it would not be a surprise if Bongino knew that.

However, whether true or not, Bongino should not have repeated this.  I am not sure which would be more dangerous, whether this is true or not true. If true, and it has leaked, it puts us all at risk. If our enemies believe the President of the United States is incapable, they may seize the day. If not true, it also puts us at risk, because it might lure an enemy into making a huge mistake.

But the real problem is that the mental incapacity of Joe Biden is increasingly obvious to everyone. That is why 36 Democrats literally asked him to give up control of the nuclear codes. We are very close to a worst-case scenario. In their lust for power, Democrats may have only succeeded in putting someone obviously incompetent into the most demanding and powerful position in the world. That does not benefit anyone. What makes this worse is that no one, in either party, is expressing any confidence in Kamala Harris taking over.

It seems more than likely that someone, other than Joe Biden, is the acting President of the United States. This may even be a group of people, some of which were never elected and others who are cabinet members confirmed by congress. This is what happens when a political party focuses solely on gaining power with little or no regard to the real-life consequences. What makes this worse is that it sure seems like they cheated during the 2020 election to make this possible.

Sunday night Donald Trump will speak to CPAC. The viewer audience is likely to be enormous. Even CNN will probably cover this, not because they want to, but because they need viewers. The contrast between Donald Trump, focused, energetic and in control with Joe Biden struggling to read a couple of paragraphs on a TelePrompter will be beyond obvious.

We don’t know how long this will last. Woodrow Wilson was totally incapacitated because of a stroke on October 2, 1919.  His wife, Edith, took over. She hid the extent of his capacity from both the press and his opponents. She screened all his paperwork, and some believe she signed papers on behalf of her husband without necessarily consulting him. He remained in office until March 4, 1921 when Warren G. Harding was given the oath of office.

This time things will be different for a lot of reasons. One is that Joe Biden’s mental capacity is impossible to hide indefinitely. In addition, while Wilson did get better, Biden is extremely unlikely to improve. I suspect there are already secret bi-partisan discussions regarding a solution to this obvious problem. But how exactly would that work? Democrats and Republicans are hardly in a compromising mood about anything. Clearly no one thinks Kamala Harris is the answer. Republicans, already furious at the election and the treatment of Donald Trump, are probably not terribly interested in offering Democrats an easy out. This is made even worse by the people nominated for key positions in Biden’s cabinet. None of them are exactly inspiring confidence either.

The only thing certain is that this is a very bad situation, and there is not going to be an easy solution. Eventually, the American people and the MSM will find this impossible to ignore. One only hopes that is not delayed until after there is an unprecedented disaster. We can be certain of one thing. Those who made this happen are going to pay a very high price for inflicting this disaster on the American people.

Our country is bigger than any one man. This is truly a sad state of affairs, but the future still looks very bright. If nothing else, Democrats have exposed themselves as radical socialists determined to press full speed ahead with their radical agenda totally oblivious to how this is impacting millions of Americans. They are putting on a public display on why they can never again be trusted with power. Donald Trump is brilliant at listening to the American people and he will demonstrate that again Sunday night. Time doesn’t stop or even slow down for anyone and that includes Joe Biden and the DNC. The 2022 election will start before summer and November 2022 is getting larger and larger in the DNC rearview mirror.
