The Morning Briefing: Nothing Is Going to Bump Jill Biden From the Elder-Abuse Train

Top O' the Briefing

Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. The Sine Qua Non-Sequitur was out a little too late last night with Keith Richards and Sydney Sweeney at a pickleball fashion charity.

Yes, this is another discussion about Joe Biden being addled, embarrassing, and a detriment to the security of the country. These are tough to avoid because Joe Biden is, after all, addled, embarrassing, and a detriment to the security of the country.

I'm going a little easy on him there. He's actually a detriment to the security of a lot of people all over the world.

Joe Biden had already mentally lost a step or three thousand when he got into office in 2021. He was never the sharpest tool in anyone's shed in the first place, so the drop-off was disturbing once it was paired with access to the launch codes.

His decline since then was steady for a while but has accelerated in the past year. Biden's physical deterioration has picked up the pace quite a bit during that time as well. None of this is a partisan mean dig on Biden. He's 80; this stuff happens.

The most power the average 80-year-old man has access to is the TV remote, though. Maybe a riding mower.

Joe Biden is currently playing the role of the Most Powerful Man in the World, which is where this becomes a David Lynch/John Carpenter collaboration.

Biden's latest "Why do they let him on camera?!?!?" moment isn't going to ease the fears of anyone who's worried about him being the titular head of the United States while the world is sprouting violent hot spots all over. Matt wrote about it yesterday:

During an Oval Office meeting with the Prime Minister of Iraq, Mohammed Shia’a Al-Sudani, observers noticed President Joe Biden holding an extremely detailed crib sheet to get through the meeting.
And when I say detailed, I mean detailed.
"Biden, 81, turned to the script — which included an all-caps stage direction on when to pause in his comments to allow for an interpreter to translate — to make his first public statement since Iran launched an unprecedented direct missile and drone attack on Israel over the weekend," noted the New York Post. "The president glanced down at his script repeatedly as he sat beside Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’a Al-Sudani."

Yowza.

It's incidents like this that give people a legitimate reason to think that Biden won't make it to November. The thinking is that he'll get so bad that the DNC will force him out. Some even believe that he may step aside of his own accord.

I maintain that neither of those scenarios is realistic as long as Jill Biden is drawing breath.

It was the summer of 2020 when I first wrote about Jill Biden's lack of concern about her husband's embarrassing public episodes. Her ambition and desire to be first lady are all that matter to her. Woe be unto anyone who tries to get in her way, even the higher-ups at the Democratic National Committee.

I'm not saying that Jill Biden is willing to go full "Weekend at Bernie's" to cling to power, but there's not much short of that she wouldn't do. Whenever someone hits me with a scenario with Biden being moved aside before November, I insist that Jill Biden is the immovable force that will be encountered.

The DNC wants to keep Biden at the top for several reasons, but that's an entirely separate column.

As long as they have DOCTOR Mama Jill in place, they don't have to worry about him going anywhere.

NPR/Pravda Sends Whistleblower to the Gulag for Being Honest

"Way back in the 20th century (Google it, young'uns), liberal media bias was far less 'in your face' than it is now. It became a lot bolder when His High Holiness the Lightbringer Barack Obama was elected president. The Democrats' flying monkeys in the mainstream media simply could not contain their schoolgirl glee over what they perceived as Obama's dreaminess. To this day I'm surprised that The New York Times and other Coastal Media Bubble™ outlets didn't allow for font changes so their writers could dot their i's with hearts when writing about Obama."

Projection Much? 'Morning Joe' Scarborough's On-Air Meltdown

"That's the kind of aggressive nonsense people spew when they're coked out of their minds. I'm not accusing Scarborough of taking illicit drugs, but I am saying that he makes as much sense as a coke-fueled Hollywood wanna-be trying to peddle his screenplay for a 'Commando' reboot where Alyssa Milano gets into shape to rescue her aging dad, still played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has been kidnapped by white supremacists in Idaho."
