If President Joe Biden is elected odds dictate that he will pass away because of age related ailments, a 60% chance he will sadly not live past his first year in office. And the odds go up each year. Heck, he, and Vice President Kamala Harris have already both referred to her as President on many occasions.
This column wishes our President a long life, but the actuary tables are against it, the President’s brain surgeries are contributing factors to his long-term health, mental acuity, and cognitive decline.
It is sad, but medical emergencies take years off the back end of our lives, surgery can and does save our lives, but it takes a toll on our general health as we age. Our President is not exempt from this. It is probably true you or most Americans do not know a blood vessel ruptured in President Biden’s Brain and a second one was close to rupturing when emergency brain surgery repaired them.
If you pay attention to conservative media, you will think President Biden is drooling in his pablum. If you pay attention to the socialist media, you will think President Biden is a physical and mental god. The truth is President Biden’s mental acuity like all of us has sadly diminished with old age.
Like President Biden or not, a reasonable and prudent person should question the darn near week per month he spends on vacation. Age has an impact on stamina, no denying it, those of us who are pushing 75 just do not have the stamina we did when we were in our 50s or 60s, no way no how. In my 50s I took up distance running and skydiving, completing 19 marathons, running into my mid-60s. I just could not do it today just too old and do not have the stamina.
This column has maintained that both likely candidates (Presidents Biden and Trump) are too old and younger folks should be considered. The folks around President Biden are making the decisions and running our nation. To some extent, that is normal, however, President Biden appears to be a puppet with his staff being the puppeteers much more than normally found in that level of leadership.
As President Biden makes gaffs, his staff and the media step in and deny he meant it or ever even said it. Most Americans have not seen the video of our President falling to sleep in a meeting and in joint discussions with foreign leaders. The media are in a full court press covering for him, thoughsome cracks are starting to appear in the aspis or hoplon media shield wall of silence.
If President Trump gets the Republican nomination the media will paint President Biden as Atlas reincarnated, a tireless dynamo who has the mental acuity of Albert Einstein and the physical abilities of Muhammad Ali in their prime and as the savior of the world. If President Trump does not receive the nomination, it will be interesting to watch the media infighting to decide if they want to elect one of the three Democrats standing in the wings or if they will stay with President Biden, despite his age-related problems.
It appears today that both likely nominees are shoe-ins despite their age, but it is early in the process and time will tell who the socialist and conservative media will ordain as the candidates. One thing is certain, most media want President Trump to run and will excoriate any conservative candidates other than President Trump. The media going in high gear to attack Vivek Ramaswamy a minority who dares be a conservative is a good example. Name calling an African American, woman or other minority daring to be a conservative is the norm for the “mainstream” media.
It is interesting that cities, and even states, who declared themselves sanctuaries for undocumented, migrants, immigrants, illegals, whatever the current name is are upset that the folks from the entire world are being sent (willingly contrary to the media coverage) to their sanctuaries? Has any socialist media types asked how they have the intestinal fortitude to object? Not even close. It is like adopting a pet and saying others should clean up the pet’s waste and provide a pet house and food. My opinion.
