An Epidemic of Cognitive Impairment?
American Greatness ^ | 5 Oct, 2022 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 10/06/2022 6:22:45 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Why is the supposed party of youth dominated by such frail and forgetful elderly?

Joe Biden, the nominal head of the Democratic Party, is 79. But he increasingly acts and sounds 89.

Recently, Biden has pivoted repeatedly on stage with his arm outstretched to shake the hand—of someone not there.

On one recent occasion Biden called out for Representative Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) who passed away in a car crash in early August. He was insistent, shouting to the crowd, “Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie? I think she wasn’t going to be here—to help make this a reality.”

Biden’s fantasy was the reality that Rep. Walorski is no longer with us.

Biden slurs his words. He truncates sentences. He speaks in a muddled voice that often makes comprehension impossible. When questioned, he grows irate, growls, and stutters.

Biden’s messaging is even more confused than his medium. On any given day, Biden may impetuously announce that U.S. soldiers will defend the soil of Taiwan, or that the “killer” Vladimir Putin, unhinged head of nuclear Russia, must be removed from office promptly.

If Biden doesn’t like a question, he may deride the reporter as a “stupid son of a bitch.” He habitually lies about everything from COVID-19 vaccinations being unavailable until his presidency to the nature of his son’s military service.

Biden confuses Iran with Ukraine. He calls a senior African American assistant “my boy.”

For much of the Trump presidency, leftist opponents sought to remove Trump by the 25th Amendment. A Yale psychiatrist diagnosed Trump in absentia and declared him deserving of a straitjacket forced intervention. Partisan charges grew so intense that Trump voluntarily took—and aced—the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.

Strangely, the same Left arm-chair psychiatrists offer no such worries about Biden’s clear mental decline.

Good Gosh. I did not see that bizarre Pelosi thing where she was rubbing her hands together as Biden talked about soldiers and toxic burn pits.

“It’s time to stop voting for old people.”

I am old and I agree.

I would have no problem with a mandatory maximum age limit for all public offices.

Please take me off the ping list. I like VDH very much but I don’t like getting a long ping over and over with the same material. Thanks.

Sounds like somebody is thinking that it’s better to vote for a young Communist than an old one. How about doing one better.....make a concerted effort to get every Communist of any age out of the country.

That’s fine with me. Your are telling me there are no conservatives under 70? If that is the case, the movement is dead. Period.

I won’t vote for more geriatric patients.

Comrade joe has a lot of imaginary friends. They helped elect him with their imaginary ballots.
