President Biden's Cognitive Decline Cannot Be Ignored
"President Biden again showed his precipitous cognitive decline when he confused the lawsuit on the federal mask mandate for public transportation with his administration's repeal of Title 42"
Opinion
President Joe Biden's cognitive decline is extraordinarily evident. At this point, anyone denying that fact is overtly lying. The President has gone on numerous obscure, almost certainly made up, ramblings about men such as "Corn Pop" and a hunter in the woods who allegedly had a gun policy debate with him. Other ramblings include Biden's stories of children playing with his leg hair and sitting on his lap. He often nonsensically discusses policy, openly contradicting his past positions and even, at times, the stance of his own administration.
On a nearly daily basis, Biden forgets the names of important people – members of his administration, the Obama administration, leaders of powerful foreign nations, and even people in the same room as him. Biden also frequently forgets or confuses the names of countries, policies, and events. Biden then pauses and says, "you know the thing," after giving up on recalling that information from his memory. We have seen the President forget the end of his sentence more times in a little over a year than most presidents would in eight years.
Biden, in press conferences, relies on notecards with the pre-approved reporter's names he is allowed to call on and, at times, the exact questions the reporters will ask. President Biden makes outrageous, potentially devastating claims – such as that we will respond "in-kind" to Russian nuclear weapon usage. Finally, we see Biden quickly ushered off stage by his wife and members of his administration regularly to hide his senility and prevent him from rambling any more than he has to.
Last week, President Biden was ushered away from attendees at an Easter event by a person in an Easter Bunny costume. The "Easter Bunny" removed Biden as he began speaking about the administration's failed withdrawal from Afghanistan with attendees. The President then left with the Easter Bunny in a seemingly confused state of mind. The spectacle of the Easter Bunny ushering the leader of the free world away from attendees because he could not stick to his talking points made for an equally hilarious and concerning scene.
Last week, President Biden again showed his precipitous cognitive decline when he confused the lawsuit on the federal mask mandate for public transportation with his administration's repeal of Title 42. Biden stated,
"No. What I'm considering is continuing to hear from my — my — First of all, there's gonna be an appeal by the Justice Department. Because as a matter of principle, we want to be able to be in a position where if, in fact, it is strongly concluded by the scientists that we need Title 42 that we'd be able to do that. But there has been no decision on extending Title 42."
The White House quickly released a statement, cleaning up Biden's mess. Biden's written statement said, "I want to clarify that, in comments at the conclusion of my remarks this morning, I was referring to the CDC's mask mandate and there is no Department of Justice action on Title 42."
Electing a barely sentient man as President of the United States might appear to be an unfortunate mistake. In reality, it was a meticulously orchestrated plan to push forward the far left's agenda. Despite Biden's evident cognitive decline, Democrats intentionally elected a seemingly moderate, barely sentient man to serve as the face of their radical leftist policies. It is one of the most cynical, disturbing political moves in modern American history.
One of the more remarkable aspects of the Biden presidency is the refusal of the media and Democrats to acknowledge Biden's cognitive decline. We heard calls to have President Trump removed from office under the 25th Amendment for four years because he was "unfit for office." In reality, it had nothing to do with Trump's fitness for office. The left disagreed with Trump's rhetoric and policies – neither of which are sufficient reasons to remove a President from office. With Joe Biden in office, we have a man who could realistically be considered unfit for office based on his severe cognitive decline. However, the media and the left are silent. We do not hear any calls to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Biden, namely, because Biden's administration is doing the radical left's bidding.
Despite Biden's cognitive decline, he should not be removed from office under the 25th Amendment. That measure should only be reserved for the most severe and dire circumstances, where our country is at extreme and imminent risk. It is a dangerous precedent to weaponize the 25th Amendment against political opponents. However, it would be nice to see the media and the left hold a consistent standard for once and at least raise the question of invoking the 25th Amendment, as they incessantly did with President Trump.

Excellent points Garrett. It is perfectly clear now that Biden is not calling the shots, he is just the left's puppet and spokesman. Not only is this an embarrassment, it is a threat to our national security. The fact that Biden needs to be removed is an understatement, the problem is the next person in charge!
