The White House called a lid for Joe Biden on Thursday, after an inch of snow and sleet fell in Washington, DC.

Calling a “lid” informs reporters the president will not appear in public or travel anywhere for the rest of the day.

The lid was called by White House staff at 8:00 a.m. Thursday morning. A few inches of snow and sleet are forecast to fall in Washington, DC, for the rest of the day.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki held her daily 12:30 p.m. briefing over the phone.

Wednesday night, officials announced they postponed Biden’s trip to a vaccine manufacturing facility in Michigan planned for Thursday.

Biden still has yet to publicly voice his concerns for Americans suffering in Texas, even though his predecessor former President Barack Obama voiced sympathy on Twitter for those affected by the storms.

Psaki told reporters during her phone briefing with Biden’s Homeland Security adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall that the White House and the federal government would continue working behind the scenes to get more aid to Texans.

I think he’s still learning his way around the White House. Reports were that he never had been in the residential part of the White House when he was Obama’s VP. And he wakes in the morning and asks Jill where the hell are they?

It’s a big house, so he’s got to take tours of the place to learn his way around.

Last night around 8:30 I noticed air traffic in the skies in the air space area around the White House. Two planes had flown over to the right of the White House. There were no other planes escorting them. Helicopters were also landing in the distance on the other side of the Washington Monument. (by the water) Then around 10:30-11:00pm there appeared several helicopters in the skies. As many as 6 or more at a time and through all this..a large plane takes off and enters the air space of the White House and no escort.

It really shocked me and I private messaged a couple people about this. Then we noticed lights came on in the colonnade to the right of the White House...as the camera spanned to the right there were vehicles around the Eisenhower(?) Building and lights there.

I can't see anyone staying in the White House without the upstairs hall landing light on. AND it was dark on the entire left second floor. And only one NG at the outside front door doing a rotation with only one other.

>>>continue working behind the scenes to get more aid to Texans.<<<

WHAT “more aid”?? Have they sent any aid at all?

My MO. city’s Convoy of Hope is on the road to Dallas and Houston areas with aid. Anything from the Feds?

Seems like Joe’s handlers are putting him to bed earlier so they can gradually position Kamala Harris as our regent.

Wish it was the lid on his coffin.


Think about who is our V.P. before making such wishes. I see Biden as stupid and lazy. I can see Harris as stupid and energetic

German General Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord classified officers/leaders:

I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff. The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage.

Was thinking about the 25th amendment. The president’s removal from office depends on his cabinet. Since his cabinet has not been approved
By Senate (they were busy with impeachment). Are they unable to put the 25th in action?

????

I have seen President Trump talk with hostile reporters for ten or fifteen minutes while just walking out to the presidential helicopter and he fielded their questions well.

Joe Biden will not even do this with the friendly press corp. He is not capable of coherent conversation from soft ball questions. He would totally be destroyed by questions from conservative reporters that are not allowed access to him.

He is mid stage senile dementia. He can not converse on an ad hoc basis with logic. A year ago he could read a teleprompter with few mistakes. He can not do this today.

Note of importance. I know who my sister is. I never introduced her as my wife at a campaign event. Joe did.

I must give much complements to the DNC and the Media in electing a mid stage senile dementia man as president living in his basement for 12 months. He lived there not due to covid but if he came out of the basement on a regular and ad hod basis his mental decline would be evident in the extreme.

Who is really president today? Is it Harris, is it Rice or is it others behind both that are really making policy and decisions? It is not Joe Biden! He is mentally compromised.

Oddly I think our president today is Obama. He pulls the strings of all of Biden’s advisors and cabinet.

I have taken off and landed as pilot in command in such conditions.

The pilots in front on Air Force One exceed my ability in the extreme. What is really going on is the attempt to limit Joe's exposure to the public which reveals his dementia day by day. It is really that simple.
