President Biden's Dementia

The order also raises the possibility of the president being manipulated by radical ideologues.  This, too, strengthens the case that he is no longer mentally fit for the job.  Instances people of Biden's age being fooled by con men abound.  We are not a government of puppeteers. Time to confront the issue and seriously consider the 25th Amendment.

It’s like watching a Visiting Angels commercial

  Robert Weissberg; American Thinker    "Has President Biden become so senile that he is [no] longer qualified to be commander-in-chief?  The outward signs of dementia are everywhere.  He often appears confused, unsure of his next move, and unable to remember his speech.  Key political terms such as the "national debt" are improperly used, while his memory lapses include falsely claiming to have observed an events or declaring a climate emergency.  Even the Washington Post has raised serious doubts about the president's mental acuity.  Off-the-cuff remarks sometimes make no sense whatsoever.  Such incidents have become commonplace and cannot be explained by slips of the tongue or fatigue.". . .

"The smoking-gun evidence for dementia here is the missive's obvious crackpot nature, an example of identity politics run amok.  Does the president honestly believe that the



Department of Defense will work better if its workforce better resembles the general population?  Will planes fly on schedule if we hire more LGBT identifiers or senior citizen as air traffic controllers?  This is delusional thinking, and one can only wonder why a sensible adviser did not counsel the president not to sign it.

"Equally important, the order unambiguously violates numerous anti-discrimination and civil rights laws and will surely invite litigation that will invalidate it.  These lawsuits would number in the tens of thousands and not only paralyze the legal system, but stop all federal hiring due to legal uncertainty.  No more park rangers will be hired until the courts decide if a job applicant claiming to be victimized by systemic racism can be put at the front of the line.  If these mandates are declared illegal — highly likely — the federal government may be liable for billions in compensation to white males who lost their jobs to recently protected minorities." . . .

Democrats Are Worried About Joe Biden (newsweek.com)

Biden's age is a legitimate problem but not the worst. His personal intelligence and his character (along with that of today's Democrats) I see as a much more significant problem. TD
