In the face of almost daily evidence to the contrary, Democrats continue to insist that Joe Biden is not senile. At least they say this for public consumption. What they think in private is anyone’s guess and may not be suitable for this family publication.

If high-level officials of the political party in power truly believe that President Magoo has not lost the plot, then we’re in bigger trouble than I thought we were. I take comfort in the knowledge that most of them, perhaps all, know they’re lying. If Joe Biden is not senile, I’d hate to have to make a living on the difference between senile and whatever Biden is.
This past week we were treated to the cringe-worthy spectacle of the president of the United States, after giving a speech, being led off the stage by his ambitious wife, who, unlike her husband, still has her wits about her. She intervened apparently to ensure that Joe didn’t walk into a broom closet or attempt to shake hands with a coat rack. I’m sure this display of frailty made the highlight reels in Moscow, Beijing, Tehran, and Pyongyang, with many replays.

Then came the stunner that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austen spent days in the ICU at a local hospital for an undisclosed ailment without bothering to inform the White House. With American troops under attack in the Middle East and the vital sea lanes there at risk of being closed down by Iranian proxies, the man at the top of our military chain of command was MIA. Magoo, oblivious to the end, didn’t notice. After all, mandatory seminars on the latest acceptable pronouns were continuing apace in all branches of our military, so: “What, me worry?” (RELATED: US Secretary of Defense Goes AWOL)
In the 1930s, the world ignored the growing threat from an axis of expansionist dictatorships until it was too late to stop them without a world war that cost 65 million lives. That axis was made up of Germany, Japan, and Italy as the junior partner. Today’s axis is Russia, China, Iran, and their AA affiliate, North Korea. This last is headed up by the chubby and comical Little Rocket Man, who belongs in a C-list comedy club. Funny, but with missiles at his disposal.
Magoo is ignoring this new and threatening axis even as they attack us. (He’s joined in this by our NATO “allies,” the military establishments of most of which have roughly the same fire power as the Tampa Police Department.) He’s ignoring these genuine threats in order to expend such energy and attention span as he has left in an attempt to keep the keys to Air Force One by convincing Americanos that Donald Trump is the real threat to our democracy.
The mantra in America for the longest has been that with talent and hard work anyone could grow up to be president of the United States. Joe Biden has certainly proved this. He’s also shown that under some circumstances, we may be better off not having one at all.
