She writes that Biden\u2019s \u201cdecline is obvious to everyone but the press.\u201d And it\u2019s true that we still have many major newspaper columnists and cable news talking heads who insist that any questions about the President\u2019s current grasp on reality are simply insulting, spurious plots by his critics to discredit him and that everything is just fine. But as Markowicz points out, that\u2019s becoming an increasingly difficult position to maintain.<\/p>\n<p>She begins by reminding us of the Q&#038;A from last week when Biden was asked a very serious and important question about ending Title 42. He launched into a meandering answer that probably sounded confusing until you realized that he was actually answering a question about the mask mandate for public travel. She then moves on to comments he gave on Friday where he attempted to criticize Ron DeSantis over actions that Florida is taking regarding Disney. It didn\u2019t go well. <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>This isn\u2019t simply misspeaking. He seems fully out of it, and we\u2019re all watching quietly.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Biden tried to comment on Florida\u2019s new Parental Rights in Education law and came out with this word salad: \u201cThere\u2019s nothing conservative about deciding you\u2019re going to throw Disney out of its present posture because Mickey Mouse? In fact, do you think we should be not be able to say, you know, \u2018gay\u2019? I mean, what\u2019s going on here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What is going on here, indeed? Is the president OK? He doesn\u2019t seem like it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s funny, sure, but it\u2019s also kind of scary. Who is really running the show at the White House? The president often makes comments about what he\u2019s \u201callowed\u201d to say, how many press questions he\u2019s permitted to take and which specific reporters he can call on. Who is making these decisions? Is Joe Biden the president or not?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Also covered is the event at the White House on Easter Sunday. When a reporter asked Biden a question about Afghanistan, he began to answer but a woman in a rabbit suit rushed up, waved her arms in front of the President\u2019s face and ushered him away to another area. (The costumed woman turned out to be Meghan Hays, the White House director of message planning.)<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve brought all of this up here before, though it can be difficult to talk about. When Joe Biden answers a question from the press that isn\u2019t a complete softball, his aides inevitably wind up rushing out to \u201cclarify\u201d what he said, frequently describing a policy that\u2019s almost entirely the opposite of his answer. Joe Biden does not make policy in his own White House. And we\u2019re not being told who does.<\/p>\n<p>He frequently seems confused and his answers sometimes don\u2019t make sense. But the answers a president gives matter, particularly when we\u2019re in a situation in Ukraine that is teetering on the verge of World War 3. And if someone else who nobody in the country voted for is actually pulling the strings, we deserve to know who that person is and what avenues are available to ensure they are accountable to the public.<\/p>\n<p>As I\u2019ve already discussed here, this is a difficult topic for me personally. I have had multiple family members dealing with mental acuity issues in their later years that go far beyond just \u201csenior moments,\u201d including my mother, who suffered from advanced dementia for the last decade of her life. Now that I\u2019m over sixty, as I have admitted here previously, I\u2019m experiencing those senior moments myself and it\u2019s worrisome, so I take no pleasure in pointing fingers at Joe Biden. But the reality is that I have a job writing articles that others frequently look over for me. If I get something wrong (which absolutely happens) it can be edited. Oh, and I don\u2019t have the launch codes for the nation\u2019s nuclear weapons stockpile. <\/p>\n<p>I also don\u2019t know what, if anything, could or should be done if Joe Biden truly has entered a serious cognitive decline. We only found out after the fact (officially, anyway) that Ronald Reagan was battling Alzheimer\u2019s during his second term in office. Of course, the Gipper had a way of covering his bases and a sense of humor that would have everyone laughing along with him. And on his worst day, he never seemed to reach the level that Joe Biden seems to be displaying.<\/p>\n<p>Even if Joe Biden resigned or was somehow removed through a 25th Amendment procedure, we\u2019d be stuck with Kamala Harris. Perhaps we just need to ride this out for a couple more years and hope for the best. We should also hope that whoever is really making the decisions inside the White House knows what they are doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a recent series of public appearances where President Biden has acted rather confused (to be charitable), Karol Markowicz at the New York Post decided to take the gloves off<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":498,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1453607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1453607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/498"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1453607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1453607\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1453607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1453607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1453607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
