This is serious
We need to keep Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in Washington, D.C., where they’re less apt to do any harm.
Let’s start with the vice president.
And I quote: “It is time for us to do what we have been doing and that time is every day. Every day it is time for us to agree that there are things and tools that are available to us to slow this thing down.”
Or: “Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine.”
How about: “I haven’t been to Europe.”
That last one was when a reporter tried to pin her down on why the “Border Czar” had yet to visit our southern border, where hundreds of thousands of people have been illegally crossing into the U.S. since Biden took office.
Harris’s public statements are like every seventh-grade theme of 500 words, restating some innocuous idea several different ways without saying anything. She is completely in over her head. (And if news reports are true, she is horrible to work for…the turnover has been remarkable.)
The president recently returned from a disastrous visit to Europe. He stepped in it horribly and he doesn’t even know it.
Biden stumbles and bumbles whenever he’s in front of a microphone, and his confusion and degradation of mental acuity—and anger—is indicative of a person well into decline.
Watch any current senator, representative, cabinet official, anyone currently on point in today’s tumultuous political arena, and they’re clicking, firing on all cylinders, snappin’ out comments and ideas as they talk extemporaneously.
Now compare Biden. His voice is soft, until he gets fired up about something. His words falter, he loses his train of thought.
He told soldiers of the 82nd Airborne what they’d see when they went into Ukraine. He told a reporter that if Russia used chemical weapons, NATO would respond “in kind.” After imposing economic sanctions, he later insisted that “sanctions don’t deter,” and upbraided the media for, in his demented perception, repeating that sanctions do deter.
Something is horribly wrong with Biden. Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Biden, in a news conference this week: “Are you worried that other leaders in the world are going to start to doubt that America is back if some of these big things that you say on the world stage keep getting walked back?”
In a bizarre switcheroo of roles, Biden then asked the reporter a question: “What’s getting walked back?”
Can’t you just see his handlers in the wings cringing, knees buckling, face in hands?
“It sounded like you told U.S. troops they were going to Ukraine,” Doocy answerd. “It sounded like you said it was possible the U.S. would use a chemical weapon. And it sounded like you were calling for regime change in Russia.”
Que “Twilight Zone” theme music.
“None of the three occurred,” Biden said.
Submitted for your approval…the world on the brink of World War III…a madman making threats that could lead to global thermonuclear war…the country most capable of standing up for freedom being led by a man clearly in the early stages of dementia, prone to rash, incoherent statements while on the world stage. Is this real? Or is it another episode of … The Twilight Zone?
Frighteningly, it’s real and we’re living it.
Every day.
And that time is every day. Every day it is time for us to agree that there are things and tools that are available to us to slow this thing down.
Maybe she had a point.
