Biden congratulates himself

Introduced by the absurd Secretary of State Antony Blinken — he who elicited the lying statement of the Deep State 51 on the New York Post’s coverage of Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2020 and turned it over to Politico to publicize it — President Biden provided a farewell assessment of his foreign policy achievements yesterday afternoon. He appeared at the State Department before a cheering audience that must have been drafted to supplement whatever stimulants Biden otherwise relies on for assistance in his public appearances.

The White House has not yet posted the text of Biden’s speech at Speeches and Remarks. I have posted the White House video complete with Blinken’s fawning introduction below. As he read it off the teleprompter, Biden slurred and shouted his way through the speech. The New York Post covers it here.

I used to say Biden has half a mind to be president. Based on the speech, it seems that some adjustment downward is required. According to Biden, Biden did a fabulous job protecting the national security interests of the United States over the past four years. Among the foreign policy achievements he bragged about were the catastrophic exit of the United States from Afghanistan and the weakening of the Iranian regime by the armed forces of Israel. One of these is not like the other. Biden was responsible for the former but antagonistic to the latter.

Immediately following the live broadcast of the speech on her Fox News show, Martha MacCallum invited retired General Jack Keane to comment. In his understated critique of Biden’s self-congratulations General Keane injected the reality principle: “The facts speak for themselves.”

UPDATE: The White House has finally posted the text of Biden’s remarks here.
