President Joe Biden doesn't just lie about how the economy is doing or whether his family has gotten payoffs for access to him, he even lies about minor stuff that doesn't really matter much.
When speaking at North America’s Building Trades Unions Legislative Conference in Washington on Tuesday, Biden said that he was born in the same hospital where his grandfather died, two weeks after his passing.
“My grandpop, who I never met, died in the same hospital I was born in two weeks before I was born,” Biden claimed. “My grandpop was, as they say in Maryland, from ‘Blamer.'”
According to the Baltimore Sun, however, his grandfather died in Baltimore in September 1941. Biden was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania in November 1942.
Biden's lie about his grandfather just doesn't make any sense unless you accept the fact that the man is suffering from dementia and that his mental decline is getting worse, not better.
Any fully functioning person would know that it's exceedingly easy to fact check his statement, and would not say things he knew to be false.
But Biden is not fully functioning, and in his deteriorating mental state, he probably believes wholeheartedly that what he's saying is true.
If he were not the president of the United States, the polite thing to do would be to go along with the story and not to challenge what he is saying, but his position as the leader of the free world demands that citizens confront the awful reality that he doesn't even know what he's saying or doing a lot of the time.
We can't afford another six years of out-of-control spending, unfettered illegal immigration, and adversarial world powers not taking the U.S. seriously.
We're already paying 30-40% more on gas and food than before he took office (CPI says 20% but if you grocery shop, you know it's higher than that). We've already had over six million illegal immigrants come into the country. And we've already seen Russia invade Ukraine on Biden's watch, almost with his encouragement, even though he has thrown money and military equipment at Ukraine ever since.
If you extrapolate these events and circumstances out another six years, we will have doubled food and gas prices as well as many other items, allowed about 25 million illegal immigrants into the country, and China will probably control Taiwan and the computer chips the whole world needs to function and progress.
Even though it is clear that many Democrats are only looking at the D by the candidate's name and not the results of Democrat policies, it is hard to understand how over 40% of people can think Biden is doing a good job and should be the president for another six years.
It's hard for some people to look at former President Donald Trump, the likely GOP nominee at this point, as the lesser of two evils, but his policies (not his personality) were far superior to Biden's.
Is it too late for an increasingly emotion-driven populace to think logically about who should lead them for the next six years? Let's hope not.
