Weekend At Biden's

Now that you’ve safely navigated the first full unofficial weekend of summer, you might be a little worn out. You may have stretched muscles that haven’t been used in months. You might have gotten sunburned going to the beach. You may have imbibed a little too much Friday and/or Saturday night and are still feeling the effects of getting hammered. Whatever your malady that brings you to the beginning of another workweek, you didn’t have the weekend Joe Biden did. Not by a long shot.

The Sunday shows were full of Never Trumpers defending FBI Director Christopher Wray, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, an actual sitting member of Congress, blaming Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, neither one currently serving in the Congress, for the debt ceiling compromise bill that’s giving both ends of both political parties heartburn.

Chuck Todd announced on NBC’s Meet the Press that he was stepping down in the fall after a 9-year run, turning over the reins to Kristen Welker, in a move that is reminiscent of the string quartet on the deck of the Titanic as people were wildly scrambling all around them to see which form of death was more preferable.

But the President had himself a weekend to remember. That is, if he is capable of remembering anything these days, which is very much in doubt. Since the regime media is covering up and/or covering for this administration instead of covering it, here’s how it went down.

Thursday, Biden flew out to Colorado Springs to give the commencement address at the Air Force Academy. Oh, yes, the fall, but this column is so much more than just the fall. Let’s begin with Biden arriving on the field and headed to the stage. Notice how many times he’s directed to the stage. And then he climbs the stairs onto the stage, and still is asking for directions to the podium…that’s right in front of him.



Now we get to the commencement speech itself. I’ll bet you didn’t know that Joe Biden applied to the Air Force after high school. You can be forgiven for not knowing that, because it isn’t true.



Last year, Biden spoke in Annapolis at the Naval Academy commencement, and told a story about how he almost became a midshipman. That wasn’t true, either. He had already graduated from the University of Delaware by 1965, and Annapolis didn’t have post-graduate degrees then. It would have been impossible for him to have been appointed to go there.



Of course, that would have been hard to do with all of his civil rights protesting and activism, which all didn’t happen, either. Here’s more from Biden at the Air Force Academy.



I’m going to go out on a limb and say this didn’t happen, either. But wait, there’s more.



Okay, I’ve got nothing. Maybe the Donepezil hadn’t fully kicked in, yet. But when it finally did, Biden unloaded with this whopper.



He tried this one a couple weeks ago. It wasn’t true then, either. Donald Trump and then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo created the Quad, which consists of the United States, Australia, India, and Japan meeting about their shared concern, China. Here’s Pompeo talking about the Quad back in 2020, a time when Biden was in his basement chasing that bothersome squirrel outside his window with his slipper.



I’m sure Glenn Kessler is busy fact-checking that, being that Biden has repeated it a few times now. Perhaps he’s trying to invent the mythical 5th Pinocchio to give him, considering how egregious this claim is and how easy it is to prove it nonsensical. That must be why the delay in at least attempting to look fair in how the Post applies scrutiny to the veracity of our politicians. Back to the speech. Commencement is over. Biden thinks he’s done, forgetting that he’s supposed to greet the graduates and do some pictures. Biden wanders off to the first chair he sees, has to be dragged back by one of his keepers on stage, reminding him he’s not done, yet.



Either one of two things have to be true. Either Biden’s administration has the absolute worst advance team and protocol office in the history of the White House, because every single event Biden attends, he is clueless about what is supposed to happen next. So either it’s horrible advance work, and a stubborn unwillingness to get someone in there to brief the President so he doesn’t look like a doddering old fool on stage, or he’s a doddering old fool on stage and nothing can be done about it except limit the exposure by shortening or reducing the number of events.

Then, this.



Okay, now he’s done. Flies back to Andrews, hops, or shuffles, rather, onto Marine One for the short trip to the White House lawn. Remember, this isn’t the first time he’s taken the helicopter. He’s made this trek a couple times by now.



A day later, the President attended the historic Friday Evening Parade held at the Marine Corps Barracks in Washington. Notice how micromanaged the guiding of Biden to his mark is, leaving nothing to chance. Yet Biden notices that pesky static cling still affecting his right pants leg, and slowly bends at the waist, making the long journey down to try and adjust the bottom of his trousers.



After reviewing the Marines with Commandant David H. Burger, Biden is returned to his seat. Again, note how many times the Commandant has to remind Biden which way to turn and when to turn in order to make it safely to his seat. Biden has to confirm the coming right turn by pointing himself in the direction he should turn. You can almost write the thought bubbles yourself as you’re watching this video. Once he’s made the turn, headed to the grandstands that have the chairs in them, he points to another officer to confirm that he is indeed headed in the right direction to the chairs. Remember, this is the guy who decides where to crack open the nuclear football and deploy nukes, if necessary.



Back at the White House, from behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, Biden attempted to spike the ball on the debt ceiling bill.



Most everyone who has filed a return making $20,000 or over saw their share of the tax burden go up. This is a lie Biden has told hundreds of times, and it still isn’t true.



Revenue isn’t and hasn’t been the problem in any of this. As the Tax Foundation points out, we’re near record highs for receipts coming into the Treasury. This whole debt ceiling debate has never been about a shortage of money coming in. It’s always been about spending too much money.

You probably saw clips of the fall. You know that was really bad. But now you’ve seen the rest of the weekend, which you probably hadn’t seen before now. Biden is not up to this job. And keep in mind, today is the best Biden is going to be. At 80-years old, he’s on a steady decline. He will not be as sharp next week, next month, or next year as he is now. It only gets worse from here. How steep the rate of decline is anybody’s guess. This should be an issue that’s discussed daily, because it affects all of us, but it won’t. Regime media treating Biden like Terry Kiser in Weekend At Bernie’s isn’t doing anyone any good.
