‘Senile’ Joe Biden is bringing shame to the United States:
Joe Biden’s cognitive deficits are increasingly apparent, even to the most amateur observer.
Whether he has dementia at this point is immaterial. Half the world thinks he does and that weakens the United States and imperils us all.
Whether he is falling up the stairs of Air Force One or falling off a stationary bike, whether he is wandering around on stage in a fog or clutching cheat sheets designed for a 4-year-old, whether he is shouting incoherently or whispering creepily, the optics are shocking.
With his 80th birthday approaching next month, even if most Americans are too polite or willfully unobservant to say so, it’s clear that Biden is not up to the world’s most difficult job.
He projects weakness and folly at a time of international turmoil. Disrespect for the president echoes around the world, among allies and enemies alike.
Even when he went to London last month for the Queen’s funeral, people were filmed yelling, “Let’s go, Brandon” at his passing limousine. He and first lady Jill Biden arrived late to Westminster Abbey and, after they were ushered to the cheap seats 14 rows back, he was mocked for playing with his tongue during the service.
It’s criminal that the Democratic Party has placed America in such an invidious position with an emotionally febrile part-time president who appears not to be all there an awful lot — either in his mind or at the White House. The least they could do is cover up his deficits more skillfully. --->READ MORE HERE

America deserves answers on President Biden’s cognitive function:
Though I have never examined President Joe Biden nor read through his full health records, nevertheless, as a practicing internist who treats many elderly patients, I have reason to be concerned. What exactly is his level of cognitive function?
Most worrying is the area of executive function, which includes the ability to plan, pay careful attention to detail, perform tasks, concentrate on detailed information and most of all make decisions. It goes without saying that the president as this country’s chief executive must have a very high level of executive function.
The best way to approach Biden’s apparent multiple memory lapses and periods of disorientation is not to speculate based on video clips alone but to demand full disclosure and transparency, especially of a president almost 80 years old with a significant medical history. If he decides to run again, I’m on record demanding full health transparency of all candidates for higher office, tracing back to when John McCain was 71 and running for president in 2008. I called it “the McCain Protocol” in 2016 when both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were over 70 and running for president.
I would prefer Biden have a cognitive neuropsychiatric test right now, much as Trump underwent the Montreal Cognitive Assessment when he was in office and released the results.
Of course, there’s substantial precedent for ill presidents hiding their ailments from the public, from Woodrow Wilson’s severe case of Spanish flu (which arguably affected the Treaty of Versailles) and subsequent stroke to Franklin Roosevelt’s heart failure to the extent of Dwight Eisenhower’s heart disease to John Kennedy’s Addison’s disease, all while still in office. --->READ MORE HERE
