Joe Biden gave the keynote address at the Society for Human Resource Management’s (SHRM) convention in San Diego on Wednesday.
The Wall Street Journal termed his remarks "rare," which was funny. Yes, you're not seeing people inviting Biden to speak for a couple of reasons. The first, who wants to hear from someone who is barely coherent, not to mention who left the country in such a state? On top of that, and maybe the more practical reason: who is going to pay his reported fee of $300,000 for anything he has to say? Reports indicate people didn't want to pay that.

Biden was asked about what he was doing now. He claimed he didn't have a lot of time because he was working on a memoir about his time occupying the Oval Office, which the publisher wanted in "March of this year." Um, okay, Joe, you're a bit late on that. Does anyone believe that - a publisher wanted a book two months after he left office? Or does Joe not know what he's saying again? This is one heck of a rambling answer.
Then he whined that so much of what he had "done" (what was that?) was being changed. He claimed NATO was "in shambles" when he came in, that he strengthened it, and took on the invasion of Ukraine. Um, no. Russia likely invaded Ukraine under Biden in part because of how weak he had been on things like Nord Stream 2 and how ineptly he handled the Afghanistan withdrawal.
It's actually President Donald Trump who, while putting America first, strengthened NATO by getting the other countries to pony up more for their own defense, both in his first term and then even more in his second term. It's Trump who has been trying to end the war that started under Biden in Ukraine. It's Trump who has significantly brought better security and peace by taking out Iran's nuclear facilities and negotiating a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
Perhaps the most unbelievable part of Biden's remarks was when he said that European leaders were contacting him asking him to "get engaged."
“And I’m getting calls – I’m not going to go into them, I can’t – from a number of European leaders asking me to get engaged,” Biden said, before noting, “I’m not, because things are different.”
“So, I’m doing that,” the former president said, as he began to think about what else he’s been up to since Jan. 20, promoting the moderator to interject, “World peace? That’s nice to do in retirement.”
“All kidding aside, how can you just walk away?” Biden said in his defense. “You don’t see me out there publicly doing a lot of this.”
Does anyone believe any of that even for a minute? And what has he done for world peace? Everything got worse under him. Who would want to hear anything from him?
He even claimed that he has been “dealing with a lot of Democrat and Republican colleagues calling me … wanting to talk and bounce things off of me.” Um, please name the Republicans doing this. I don't believe this for one second. Biden has a long history of fabrication.
Biden also made this claim.
“Every single day, I contact every single one of my grandchildren,” Biden, who as president repeatedly failed to acknowledge the existence of the granddaughter his son, Hunter, fathered out-of-wedlock, claimed.
Should we ask Lunden Roberts if he's contacting Navy, or doesn't she count?
People weren't buying Joe's story about the leaders and politicians.
We should be thrilled each and every day that Joe Biden is back home on the beach in Delaware and Kamala is wandering around somewhere in California.
