It’a like the old story of the Emperor’s New Clothes. We need a kid to point out that while not naked, Joe is several sandwiches short of a picnic.

Dr. Jill really, really wants to stay in the White House. When asked by a softball CNN interviewer about Joe’s age and competency she answered: “How many 30-year-olds could travel to Poland, get on the train, go nine more hours, go to Ukraine, meet with President Zelenskyy?” Well, dear, the answer is — all of them!

We know Joe is failing despite what they are claiming about the recent medical examination. We can see it. He fell off his bike. He falls up the airstair on Air Force One pretty much every time he boards. He fantasizes. He was not raised by Puerto Ricans, the price of gas was not over $5 when he took office, there’s no evidence he was a civil rights activist (and plenty that he wasn’t), and whatever he’s talking about here – well no, just no.

Apparently it’s real. Video posted by PBS (clip starts at 1:10)

The Daily Wire ran a good piece:

If we listen to Biden, he’s a devout Irish Catholic who’s also Jewish and went to synagogue, who’s also Greek, who sometimes wished he were Polish, who was raised by Puerto Ricans and also the black community. He’s also a former truck driver who was part of the civil rights movement, was offered a Naval Academy football sponsorship, was arrested in South Africa with Nelson Mandela, and whose dad was cool with gay men kissing in public in 1950s Scranton.

It’s all very well for a politician to get folksy with his audience, but Biden goes beyond that. He sometimes crosses the line into fiction. His ever-growing collection of anecdotes about his apparently incredibly varied life experiences seem to contradict each other as well as beg belief.

Last week, Biden told the Polish president that he grew up near a lot of Polish people in Wilmington, Delaware, and was “self-conscious my name didn’t end in an ‘s-k-i’ or an ‘o.’”

Biden added “all kidding aside,” but he often tags a “not a joke” onto the end of his outlandish stories.

“I probably went to shul more than many of you did. You all think I’m kidding,” Biden said in September at a Jewish new year celebration.

“I’m a practicing Catholic, but I’d go to services on Saturday and on Sunday,” he said. As the audience laughed, he repeated, “You all think I’m kidding. I’m not.”

At least one psychiatrist is suggesting that Biden’s exaggerated stories may be connected to mental decline.

“One would assume that it has been pointed out to Biden by people in his circle, that he has been embellishing half-truths or even telling tall tales,” said Dr. Carole Lieberman, M.D., a forensic psychiatrist who has provided expert witness testimony in several high-profile cases.

“Biden doesn’t seem able to stop himself. Indeed, it has only gotten worse, as have other symptoms of his dementia,” Lieberman told The Daily Wire.
