I am older than dirt.
I do not say that with glee or pride. I say that to demonstrate my bona fides as an observer of the truly surreal and extremely dangerous reality we now find ourselves in - a President found by his own Department of Justice to be too old and senile to be convicted of a Federal felony but one we are assured is perfectly fit-even mentally- to occupy the most powerful and demanding job in the world.
A note about these observations: what I hope to say and the way I hope to say them should not, to any reasonable mind, be considered “political” or “partisan” or the fringe comments of just another MAGA supoorter. The cyberspace contains more of those, and those of the other fringe, than any human can possibly read. I hope my thoughts will reflect something I have been thinking about for some time, prompted by my own advanced age, the fact that I have seen dementia in my own family, and the fact that one sees these concerns expressed more and more in the commentary by responsible writers not at all identified as MAGA suporters. There has been a definite uptick in those kinds of concerns being expressed since the release of the devastating report on Biden’s cognitive deficits by a member of his own Department of Justice, appointed by his Attorney General, a person who is about as far from the world of Trump supporters as one can get.
We are bombarded by reports, often supported by photographic and/or video evidence of this man’s collapsing cognitive ability so there is no need to recap those here. A few of those which have been especially alarming to me, not just out of concern for a fellow human being, as much as I loath the person and all he stands for, but for the security of our nation, are the following. The fall up the steps of Air Force One was brutal and could easily have been fatal to most of those who have passed the 81st milestone. The fall at the Air Force Academy resulted in a very hard landing from which he fortunately got up albeit not quickly. The fall from the bike hit home for me as I had a very similar fall last year and know from personal experience that an aging body does not recover from those rapidly, to put it mildly.
These incidents, combined with the seemingly daily incidents of not knowing where he is, not knowing how to get off the stage (literally and figuratively), shaking hands with the air, and recognizing and telling stories about dead people should have made Mrs. Biden realize long ago his need for some kind of assisted living care.
All of this taken together reflects a pattern of Mrs. Biden, aided and abetted by those “Co-Presidents” running the White House, pushing and cajoling an increasingly frail and disabled man out of motivations it is reasonable to assume are not borne of love and compassion for her husband.
What kind of spouse would allow these kinds of potentially serious injuries or worse to a spouse she is assumed to have taken a solemn oath to love, honor, and obey? It seems to this non-medical observer, albeit one with considerable experience in growing old, that what she and her enablers are doing is the polar opposite of loving and honoring a loved one.
These are obviously lay opinions and are in no way intended to be taken as medical or legal opinions in any way. That said, according to a poll just out, 74% of those polled think Biden is too old and cognitively challenged to perform the duties of his office.
This is also the opinion of more and more commentators and analysts in writings going back several years. Here are a few highlights from those expressions of concern for the person.
For example, in a column from last summer with the most appropriate title Opinion: It’s Time to Address the Cruelty of Jill Biden by Sister Toldjah, the author had this to say:
That brings me to the central point of my extended thought bubble, and that’s “Dr.” Biden’s continued enabling of the farce of Joe Biden’s presidency via actions that come pretty close, in my opinion, to elder abuse on a widespread scale; with Mrs. Biden reportedly being the central figure in coordinating his notoriously aggressive handlers, scripting his public appearances, and ridiculing staffers when Joe comes off looking bad – which is often.
I’ve taken to calling Jill Biden the Handler-in-Chief and the Shover-in-Chief: the former, for obvious reasons and the latter, for her propensity to all but literally shove Joe Biden offstage whenever he veers off-course – which is often.

It’s just cruel at this point to push him into trying to go the distance one more time, but here we are, because Jill Biden – as she’s said before – is bound and determined to not be known as just a powerful politician’s wife. From all appearances, she wants something more, perhaps the trappings of a presidency itself, without putting in the level of work the candidates themselves ideally have to in order to get there.
In The Elder Abuse of Joe Biden is a National Crisis Jeff Crouere, also gets to the heart of the matter:
Many medical experts, including former White House Physician and U.S. Congressman Ronny Jackson (R-TX) believe Biden is suffering from a serious “cognitive decline.” According to Jackson, “People like Jill Biden and people that surround him and are supposed to love him and care about him. They should be doing something about this, and they should be stopping this, because it’s a shame.”
Why doesn’t the First Lady end this farce? Obviously, it is because she selfishly enjoys the limelight, the prestige and benefits that are associated with her position.

Instead of his loved ones and political allies doing the right thing, they continue this charade. It is because Joe Biden is not the real President, he is a puppet of powerful interests that control his every move.
A recent piece by the New York Post Editorial Board demonstrates in stark terms how long this obvious condition has been ignored by the cabal around Biden. In its editorial, entitled Jill Biden and Dems committed elder abuse on Joe-now they must force him to step aside noted some of the findings of the Special Counsel:
As part of special counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into Joe Biden, he reviewed interviews conducted by a ghostwriter with Biden after he left office.
The former vice president was “painfully slow,” Hur’s report notes, with ” limited precision and recall.”
This is in 2017 — three full years before he ran for president.
What Hur has proven is that Joe Biden’s cognitive decline is not new, and it certainly wasn’t a secret.
Jill Biden knew. His aides knew. Heck, James Clyburn, the entire Democratic establishment knew.

This is elder abuse. And it’s a fraud on the American people.
Finally, in an excellent analysis of the legal and psychological implications of what is going on at “The People’s House”, What’s Happening To Joe Biden is Textbook Elder Abuse by Deirdre Reilly, this discussion illustrates the enormity of what is being done to the President of the United States by Mrs. Biden and her enablers:
There is a case of elder abuse happening within plain sight of millions of Americans — and the victim is President Joe Biden.
The American Psychological Association (APA) says, in part, “…approximately one in 10 people aged 60 and older who live at home experience abuse, including mistreatment and exploitation, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
The home in this case is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and the exploitation is happening to the leader of the free world, as he struggles to perform with what anyone with eyeballs can see is a dissipated and disqualifying mental capacity.
Elder abuse does not happen with caring loved ones and concerned friends taking the helm for an affected senior. “Dr. Jill” Biden should be ferociously protecting her husband, longing to spend his remaining years with him, caring for him, and spending time with him. She could refuse to allow him to run for office again, reminding all the greedy, circling vultures of his two brain aneurysms and informing them that his constant wandering, nonsensical comments are proof enough that the American people deserve more — and so does he.
This author’s phrase “greedy, circling vultures” perfectly describes the way I see this group of Biden’s “friends” and “loved ones”, and they seem to be heedless of the “ .. harm [to] an individual’s physical and psychological health, destroy social and family ties ..” this abuse can cause according to the American Psychological Association and quoted in the article above. Under any other circumstances, Mrs. Biden would have been charged long ago under most state statutes on the subject such as that in the Delaware Code with the crime of elder abuse.
That this will never happen is a sad commentary on our society, as this should be stopped by someone. It is cruel.
Update: Woodrow Wilson's close associates and his wife, in his administration, didn't notify Congress or the public of his Condition (Lloyd Austin?). It was Woodrow Wilson who initiated the League of Nation and it was critical for the U.S to be a member. But because of his debilitating conditions, he could not appear before Congress, and the creation of the League of Nation collapse, which may have made a difference in confronting Nazie Germany.
The Biden administration is 2.0. His mental acuity has been seen in a previous administration. Woodrow Wilson has had 4 strokes, the last one effecting him physically and mentally. But his personal physician refused to diagnose him with not able to perform the duties of the President. His wife perform most of his duties . She was known as "Madame president ". Jill is Also filling some of the roles but not to extend Wilson wife did... Too many handlers in Bidens camp. I believe her role with the handlers is more personal, and it shows.
