This shouldn\u2019t be a hard pitch \u2014 but here we are talking about it, so you know things didn\u2019t go smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>(Here at The Western Journal, we\u2019ve been pointing out since the beginning of Biden\u2019s campaign that he\u2019s lost more than a step or two cognitively \u2014 and while the rest of the establishment media was ignoring his gaffes or laughing them off, we were cataloging them and noting why, as part of a larger pattern, they should have precluded him from serious consideration as a presidential candidate.

Again, that should be a straightforward thing.<\/p>\n<p>Biden made it anything but straightforward. The plan would \u201cenhance our underlying effort to accommodate the Russian oligarchs and make sure we take their, uh, take their ill-begotten gains,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"in-article-trending\" class=\"in-article-more inner-content\">\n<p>Trending:<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-more-right\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/libs-tik-tok-doxer-doesnt-like-billboard-conservatives-just-put-times-square\/\" data-type=\"Internal link\" data-type-location=\"in-content-trending\">&#8216;Libs of Tik Tok&#8217; Doxer Doesn&#8217;t Like the Billboard That Conservatives Just Put Up in Times Square<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Then, there was a strange laugh. \u201cWe\u2019re gonna accommodate them,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/devastating-biden-gaffe-potus-asked-title-42-starts-babbling-something-totally-different\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biden<\/a> said again, flashing a tough-guy half-smile.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re gonna seize their yachts, their luxury homes and other ill-begotten gains of Putin\u2019s kleptocrack\u2013,\u201d he said, pausing when he realized that word wasn\u2019t going to come out right.<\/p>\n<p>After closing his eyes for a bit, he blurted out, \u201cKleptocracy.\u201d Correct word, yes.<\/p>\n<p>Then, more weirdness. \u201cKlep\u2013 The guys who are in the kleptocracies.

(The strike-through and bracketed words are both theirs.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHa, we\u2019re going to \u2018accommodate\u2019 them,\u201d the transcript continues. \u201cWe\u2019re going to seize their yachts, their luxury homes, and other ill-begotten gains of Putin\u2019s kleptoc- \u2014 yeah \u2014 kleptocracy and klep- \u2014 the guys who are the kleptocracies. (Laughs.)\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this isn\u2019t an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-screws-bad-white-house-doctor-official-transcript-cover\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">uncommon pattern<\/a> with the White House\u2019s transcriptions of Biden\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n<p>Late last month, for instance, Biden was making a speech touting actions he was taking in an effort to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/blistering-new-report-takes-medias-gas-price-narrative-reveals-81-ways-biden-sent-prices-sky-high\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lower gas prices<\/a>. But, of course, he couldn\u2019t do that without pushing alternative energy hard \u2014 and by the sound of his remarks, having a green home could save you an insane amount of cash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf your home is powered by safer, cheaper, cleaner electricity, like solar or heat pumps, you can save about $500 a month on average,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that\u2019s not true, though \u2014 so, on the transcript page, the team crossed out \u201cmonth\u201d and put \u201cyear\u201d in brackets.<\/p>\n<p>However, that change is more forgivable and understandable, inasmuch as one can confuse \u201cmonth\u201d and \u201cyear\u201d much more easily than \u201caccommodate\u201d and \u201chold accountable.\u201d The first two are measures of time. The second two are near-antonyms.<\/p>\n<p>This time, the editor\u2019s pen came out in the midst of an incoherent word jumble by the president \u2014 one that isn\u2019t attributable to a \u201cchildhood stutter,\u201d as Biden\u2019s most perfervid defenders love to claim, but by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/stunning-biden-gaffe-last-night-television-television-telephone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">diminishing returns of age<\/a> \u2014 and served to make it semi-coherent. There\u2019s a difference between fixing mistakes and changing or creating context; this clearly falls into the latter category.<\/p>\n<p>And even then, Biden\u2019s transcription team could barely make sense out of this. This is the man who\u2019s supposed to be leading us until at least January of 2025, remember. Imagine what the corrections on the transcripts page will look like by\u00a0<em>then.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"author-info-44670\" class=\"author-info inner-content\">\n<div class=\"author-image\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/cillianzeal\/\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/static.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/profile-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"image\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-meta-text\">\n<p>Contributor, Commentary<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-tabs\">\n<input type=\"radio\" name=\"ff-author-tab-44670\" value=\"summary-tab\" id=\"summary-tab-radio-44670\" checked \/><label for=\"summary-tab-radio-44670\">Summary<\/label><input type=\"radio\" name=\"ff-author-tab-44670\" value=\"more-info-tab\" id=\"more-info-tab-radio-44670\" \/><label for=\"more-info-tab-radio-44670\">More<span class=\"rmation\"> Biographical Information<\/span><\/label><input type=\"radio\" name=\"ff-author-tab-44670\" value=\"posts-tab\" id=\"posts-tab-radio-44670\" \/><label for=\"posts-tab-radio-44670\">Recent<span class=\"rmation\"> Posts<\/span><\/label><input type=\"radio\" name=\"ff-author-tab-44670\" value=\"contact-tab\" id=\"contact-tab-radio-44670\" \/><label for=\"contact-tab-radio-44670\">Contact<\/label><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-tab summary-tab\">\n<p>C.
