On Wednesday, while President Joe Biden was speaking before Air Force personnel in the United Kingdom, he had quite the senior moment, which is not atypical for the 78-year old. As the president began his remarks, it took him a moment before he realized that the military personnel in attendance were still standing, as he had not told them to sit down. He had already started telling a story when he noticed.

"Please, at ease," Biden said. "I keep forgetting I'm president," he told the crowd. The service members did as they were told and sat down, while there was laughter over the so-called joke.

I wonder how much “influence” the Administration put on the Base Commander to fill the hanger with airmen and civilians to give a false positive of support for this fraud.

Self deprecating humor is usually pretty effective.

Done in context of telling the troops to stand at ease.

Doesn’t play week to the headline.

Counter productive attack.

Joe ‘forgets’ he’s president, because, those pulling his strings are the ‘real presidents’. He’s just a puppet for the democratic party.

Such a statement I’m sure reassures the troops who may have to fight and die upon Biden’s command.

A leader of armies can NEVER forget his heavy burden of leadership for a single second !

Military Service Academies Go Woke

Critics: Military academies’ focus on ‘inclusivity’ distracts from mission of winning wars
Jack Beyrer • April 13, 2021 4:59 am

America’s military service academies are using “anti-racist” and critical race theory teaching tools to train their faculty and future officers.

Administrators at West Point are embracing the radical racial politics that have taken hold over many American campuses, according to documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. The prestigious military institution will not only adapt critical race theory into its curriculum but will also use such practices in admissions. A West Point diversity and inclusion plan for 2020 to 2025 said that in order for the academy to remain competitive with the civilian sector among potential applicants, the school must appeal to the sensibilities of “America’s younger generation.” Inclusivity will matter just as much as marksmanship, according to the documents.

“The Armed Forces represent the nation it defends, including reflecting our nation’s diversity,” the document reads. “It is imperative that we leverage all aspects of the nation’s diversity … to create and sustain an inclusive organization that attracts the best that the nation has to offer. We must create an environment that appeals to the aspirations of American’s younger generation. Only then will we be successful in competing with the civilian sector for the highest quality recruits.”

Always publicly setting the bar low for yourself isn’t very Presidential.

Which is why so many liberals love this fool.
