The Elephant
The elephant in the room, a phrase that aptly applies to the current intellectual state of the President. His mental fumbles have become so enormous that the Biden press acolytes ignore them because they are too uncomfortable to deal with. Ample evidence continues to surface that some of his cognitive processes, clear thought, knowledge, memory, and judgement are missing-in-action.
Glaring examples of this condition again surfaced last week with some public appearances that should give citizens pause.
Joe Biden gave a muddled national statement on the horrific rise of violent crime in cities. In a disturbing monotone he read from a teleprompter in a gravelly voice he stated that he will use the full power of the federal government to crack down on “gun dealers who violate the rules.” Huh? Nothing about a crackdown on drug gangs who are killing and wounding thousands in New York and especially Chicago. Not one word about increased funding for beleaguered police departments. What about coming out against the insane “no bail” laws that progressive district attorneys have championed?
Apparently, Joe or his advisors don’t see those things as drivers of violent crime. The country doesn’t have an illegal gun dealer problem, there is a serious enforcement problem. Who writes this stuff for him…does he even read this nonsense? Clear thought, knowledge and judgement are cognitive processes, his speech contained none of those elements.
Going after illegal gun dealers will do little to stop crime, nor will expanded community programs. The solution to violent crime is to relentlessly punish the lawbreakers who are wounding and killing people. Because his administration is focused on “equity”, no one is going to recognize that black-on-black crime accounts for 40% of all murders, a national tragedy that cries out for a realistic solution.

Then last Thursday, Joe whispered answers three separate times to reporters during an impromptu press conference at the White House. Social media erupted, with many calling his behavior creepy. He hunched over his lectern and was wide eyed when he whispered. It was weird and creepy. Who remembers any President ever acting this strange?
Then off he went to Raleigh, North Carolina to speak about the importance of getting a COVID-19 vaccine and continue his bizarre behavior. In his speech he said, "It's awful hard as well to get Latinx vaccinated... Why? They're worried they'll be vaccinated and deported." Again, this isn’t fiction, The POTUS said that. The term “Latinx” is the latest wokerista name for Hispanic Americans, which by the way the vast majority of whom never use that term. Was he off script or just reading what he was given?
Not content with that faux pas, in the same speech about vaccinations, the 78-year-old Biden made a very offending claim when he confused the courageous Black Tuskegee Airman of World War II with the victims of the infamous decades-long Tuskegee syphilis study. He actually said, “There’s a reason why it’s been harder to get African-Americans, initially, to get vaccinated, because they’re used to being experimented on – the Tuskegee Airmen and others. People have memories. People have long memories.” Joe’s apparent merging of the two was impressively irrational.
Over two days last week, the Nation was treated to a spectacle of Presidential confusion rarely seen in the Republic and it was largely unreported in the mainstream media.
Former White House physician who served Presidents Obama and Trump, and now Texas Congressman, Admiral Ronny Jackson (Ret) offered the following, “The mainstream media and the far left and the Democrats, they were relentless in the pursuit of me when I was taking care of President Trump, just demanding that he have a cognitive test, that he have a physical exam that included a cognitive test. They said that every President should have that. It should be the new standard, and we should know that our Commander-in-Chief and our head of state is capable of leading the Nation. And so, we did. We submitted to that.”
Jackson added, “President Trump … had a perfect score on his cognitive test, an outstanding performance, and I’m just saying that is the new standard, that the precedent has been set and I’m asking Joe Biden and his medical team to get out there and to get this physical exam done, get this cognitive testing done, and get the results back to the American people.”
The American people deserve to know whether their President has all his dots on his dice, all his horses are up to the trough and that the elevator does go to the top floor. The press must stop ignoring his bumbling gaffes.
Take the test Joe. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
