President Biden is obviously suffering from some form of age-related dementia. Everyone can see it. Thus everyone could see it during the debate with President Trump this past Thursday evening.
The Wall Street Journal puts it less bluntly in its editorial this morning: “[Biden’s] blank stare when Donald Trump was speaking suggested a man who is struggling to recall what he has been prepped for weeks to say, but who no longer has the memory to do it.”
The Journal’s related news story by Annie Linskey and others is more euphemistic, but the point is the same: “[Signs of Biden’s decline] had already become increasingly apparent in Washington’s corridors of power and across the world for months.”
There’s a word for this condition. In common parlance, the word is “senility.”
Everyone around Biden knows it. It’s why they treat him like a child. His decline has accelerated. It appears to be an open secret among Washington insiders.
The Journal aptly uses the word “cover-up.” The Journal declares that “[t]he debate…has exposed [Biden] and their long cover-up of the truth.”
Who are the “they” involved in “their long cover-up of the truth”? The Journal leaves it at “those closest to Mr. Biden.” (The Journal adds: “They owe an apology to Dean Phillips, the sole Democrat willing to challenge the President.”)
Biden’s handlers have orchestrated a cover-up to the best of their ability. The Journal editorial poses a rhetorical question: “[D]id they really think they could hide his decline from the public for an entire election campaign?” It’s a leading question that assumes a negative answer, but the answer is “yes.” They still do.
The cover-up has begun to unravel, but it has prominent participants such as Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. The cover-up is a sickening disgrace. Chances that Biden can complete a second term if reelected must asymptotically approach zero. The over/under on his completing his current term must be something in the vicinity of 50/50.
It’s time for him to go. Dan McLaughlin takes up the national security implications of Biden’s incapacity in this New York Post column. When we are allowed to see him, we can see that Biden is declining before our eyes.
Thus the concerted efforts to limit Biden’s public appearances and foster the disbelief of what we see with our own eyes. Biden has entered what Shakespeare’s Jaques describes as “Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history” — “second childishness and mere oblivion[.]”
