Joe Biden Has Dementia and It Is Wickedly Evil To Use Him as a Puppet
His team knows the truth; it’s time for the public to know, too
Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is standing for re-election.
Or rather, he’s being propped up like a marionette, loosely supported by puppeteer strings controlled by his corporate sponsors behind the curtains.
Despite the fact that I believe the Democrats to be the slightly lesser of the two evil parties who dominate American politics, in this short article I will make the case that the people who are using him to maintain power are wicked; that they undermine democracy; and that anyone who denies Biden’s dementia is, at this point, deluding only themselves.
And I should know a thing or two about using an old man with dementia as a puppet —
I did the same thing to my grandfather.
My precious grandfather Clarence was in his seventies when he was diagnosed with dementia. His decline was steep and rapid. One day he knew me, and the next time I saw him he’d forgotten my name. I wept in my wife’s arms that night.
About a year before he died, I had an idea. I knew he liked chocolate, and I knew he could still read (but couldn’t comprehend) newspapers.
So I secretly arranged a private appointment with the care facility. I positioned my wheelchair-bound grandfather in a beautiful library, set up my camera and tripod, and hit Record.
“Grandpa,” I said. “Can you please read the first line of this paragraph?”
I slid a piece of paper in front of him.
Painstakingly, line by line, sometimes word by word, I used Rolo chocolate pieces to bribe him to read the words I’d written on the page.
When we finished, he exclaimed, “That’s good stuff!”
The week of my grandfather’s death was one of the happiest seasons of our family’s life.
His three daughters, their husbands, and all his grandkids held vigil in his room, singing and praying and telling stories and sharing meals. It was a holy moment none of us will ever forget. He breathed his last near dawn, painlessly, his hand held by family until the very end.
The nurses wept as his body was rolled out in a coffin.
At his funeral, each of the grandkids spoke. I was last. I explained how Grandpa loved chocolate, how I’d bribed him to read his “last words” — words that I believe he would have said, had he been given the choice. I hit play on the greatly-edited video.
It shattered the room.
Several of my cousins fell to their knees, literally unable to stand. The funeral home director started crying, having never witnessed this in all his thousands of ceremonies.
The entire family agreed I’d captured the essence of what Grandpa would have wanted to say.
The President has dementia
“My name is Joe Biden, and I love ice cream.” — President Biden
Joe Biden, age eighty and the oldest American President in history, has not lived a healthy life.
- He played football in high school and university, getting bashed in the head.
- He was a lawyer and Senator for years, two careers known for long hours under high stress/cortisol levels.
- He eats like a dumpster, claiming his favorite foods are pasta, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, milkshakes, pizza, Gatorade, and Coke Zero, and ice cream. (The Biden campaign once spent $12,546 at one ice cream joint in a one-year period.)
- He’s endured a grueling nine election campaigns (Senate 6X, VP 2X, POTUS 1X), which are notoriously brutal on the body. In 2016, Hilary Clinton got pneumonia and collapsed. In 2019, Bernie Sanders had a heart attack. In 2020, The Donald, Emmanuel Macron, and Boris Johnson all got Covid. In 2019, Trudeau was diagnosed with a throat infection. In 2008, Obama was diagnosed with acid reflux and in 2014 had surgery to remove a polyp from his vocal cord. In 2019, Angela Merkel suffered several episodes of shaking in public caused by tremors due to dehydration and stress.
- Joe lost his first wife, Neilia, in a car accident along with his daughter, Naomi.
- Joe’s son Beau died of brain cancer at age 46.
- In 1988, Biden suffered an intracranial hemorrhage from two life-threatening brain aneurysms while campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination.
A lifetime of sugar, sleep deprivation, stress, sorrow, and various forms of physical and emotional trauma… the textbook definition perfect cocktail for brain disease.
The cracks are showing
Things are definitely getting worse as the years go by…
Aug 8, 2019: Biden’s campaign stops at the Iowa State Fair, where he proclaims, “We choose unity over division. We choose science over fiction. We choose truth over facts.”
Dec 1, 2019: Biden tells a crowd, “By the way, you know, I sit on the stand and it’d get hot. I got a lot of — I got hairy legs that turn blonde in the sun,” Biden said. “And the kids used to come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and then watch the hair come back up again. I love kids jumping on my lap.”
November 2020: Biden fractures his ankle while playing with his dog… and gets a CT scan.
March 19, 2021: Biden trips while walking up a plane’s steps… three times.
March 25, 2021: In his first official press conference as President, Biden suggests “The best way to get something done if you, if you hold near and dear to you that you, uh, um, like to be able to, anyway, I, we’re going to get a lot done.”
June 13, 2021: Biden confuses Syria and Libya three times.
July 8, 2022: Biden reads off a teleprompter: “It is noteworthy that the percentage of women who registered to vote and cast a ballot is consistently higher than the percentage of the men who do so. End of quote. Repeat the line.”
August 22, 2022: Biden asks a reporter, “Tell me how you do that. Now, I understand it — I mean, it’s clear in its face you’re accurate. But how, in making the case of the freedom men have — what do you do to — other than to sort of embarrass men into — getting into the — into the argument and voting the right way on this issue?”
October 29, 2022: Biden claims there are 54 states.
June 8, 2023: Biden calls UK PM Rishi Sunak “Mr. President.”
June 14, 2023: Biden tells a crowd “We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean.”
June 16, 2023: Biden ends a speech on gun control by saying “God save the Queen, man.”
All of this would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.
And these are just the tip of the iceberg.
If someone did this to my grandpa, I would sue.
Den of liars
I have no doubt that, behind closed doors, Biden is getting the best possible medical treatment for his condition.
But in front of the curtain, Biden’s team has turned into a pack of contortionists, going to extreme lengths to explain away his behavior.
- His “God save the [dead] Queen” remark was just a reply to “someone” in the audience.
- His falls on the plane steps were caused by non-existent wind gusts.
- Pretty much everything else gets blamed on his stutter.
But mostly, people just hagiographize the man, insisting they’ve seen him lately and that he’s perfectly coherent and perfectly succinct and perfectly sane.
My grandfather, too, had mostly lucid moments early in his decline. Unlike my grandfather, Biden almost certainly has top-notch drugs to keep him as clear as possible and slow the decline. But the undulating wave in telling — some days he’s on, and some days it’s a trainwreck.
Now, of course, Biden’s team isn’t the first to hide a serious presidential illness:
- Grover Cleveland secretly had a cancerous tumor removed on a yacht and then wore a prosthetic jaw to hide his disfigurement.
- Woodrow Wilson had a massive stroke that left him partially paralyzed and blind in one eye, so his wife and doctor essentially ran the White House without telling the public or Congress.
- Nevermind Franklin D. Roosevelt’s polio-paralyzed legs — suffered from high blood pressure and heart disease, which led to a cerebral hemorrhage that left him dead, in office, at age 63.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower had a heart attack that affected his speech and memory and didn’t even bother to tell his vice president.
- John F. Kennedy had Addison’s disease and back problems that required surgery and the use of crutches. (And a back brace that propped him upright, allowing his assassin to get off a second kill shot.)
Clearly, the Biden team hasn’t learned from history.
Who benefits?
Like Cicero and the ancient Romans, we must always ask Qui bono?
Who profits from abusing an old man?
Evil people.
Democrats are just like their Republican counterparts — malevolent, visionless, corporatists who are willing to lie to the public in order to keep a tenuous grasp on power in order to shove their private agenda down the throat of the nation.
These people should be put in jail for elder abuse.
Joe Biden is precious in the sight of God, and no old person deserves this sort of public humiliation and embarrassment.
In conclusion
Was my use of my grandfather as a parrot strictly ethical?
I cannot say for certain.
But there’s a huge difference between my grandpa and Joe Biden:
- No one in our family was trying to hide the fact that Clarence had dementia.
- I was 100% upfront and honest that I had bribed Grandpa with chocolate to read the words I think he would have said.
Now obviously, no one can say for certain that Biden has dementia without a proper diagnosis. Bookmark this article and let’s re-convene 2073—I would bet any amount of money that, fifty years from now, it will come to light that Biden had, indeed, been diagnosed and that the diagnosis was hidden from the public by his malevolent team.
And I know that I’m going to get nothing but hate and ad hominem attacks in the comments for even speculating that Biden has brain problems. That’s the major challenge with right-wing Democrats and righter-wing Republicans. They’re so dyed in the wool that they can’t see the truth before their eyes — that this man gets lost and confused constantly. Dems are more like Repubs than they care to admit. They’d rather have an addled corporatist who’s “their” guy than anyone from Team Red. Dems will run the incumbent because they’re just as scared and cowardly as the blowhard MAGA crowd.
Run Bernie instead. He’d still thump Tr*mp or DeSantis or any other corporatist schmuck the Repubs throw up. Giving social democracy a chance is the smartest thing America could do right now.
As for the President, there is a very simple way to set the record straight:
Give Joe Biden a public brain scan and livestream the results.
Then be merciful and put the dear old man out to pasture. Let him enjoy his friends and family. Pick a different corporate puppet to run for President. It’s wicked to use a sick man for political expediency.
As the good book says, “The truth will set you free.”
But politicians aren’t interested in the truth. They just want power, and they’ll use a poor old brain-addled man to get it.
