Last week, liberals were furious that The Wall Street Journal stated the obvious: President Biden is not all there anymore, and his mind often wanders.
“When President Biden met with congressional leaders in the West Wing in January to negotiate a Ukraine funding deal, he spoke so softly at times that some participants struggled to hear him, according to five people familiar with the meeting. He read from notes to make obvious points, paused for extended periods and sometimes closed his eyes for so long that some in the room wondered whether he had tuned out,” the newspaper wrote.
After the president’s allies pushed back against the report, Biden let them all down by meandering around the stage and looking confused while memorializing the D-Day invasion in France.
Things have only gotten worse since he came back stateside. Fox News pointed out that the president had another apparent health episode during a Juneteenth celebration at the White House.
Biden, 81, was filmed standing still as stone while those around him, including Vice President Kamala Harris, clapped and danced to a concert featuring gospel singer Kirk Franklin.
Video shows Biden staring blankly and not moving an inch for about 30 seconds before Philonise Floyd — the brother of George Floyd, whose murder triggered nationwide riots in 2020 — noticed the president and put his arm around him. Biden then smiles as Floyd leans in to say something, and they bump fists after exchanging a few words.
The incident echoed two occasions last year when Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. froze in front of reporters at the Capitol and at an event in Covington, Kentucky. McConnell, who was 81 at the time, later announced he would step down from leadership after the election and would not seek re-election when his current term expires in 2027.
Critics say Biden is declining in his old age and can’t handle the responsibilities of the presidency.

After the event, Biden did his best to reassure everyone he was alright.

The president’s physical decline over the past year or two is likely why Merrick Garland has been doing everything he can to hide the audio of the interview between the president and Special Counsel Robert Hur.
