We’ve had a couple of days to digest that damning classified documents investigation report and the Biden administration’s disaster of a response to it. This morning I did some browsing around to try to determine where the dust is settling in terms of the White House, the Democrats, the GOP, the media, and even foreign countries…
First Lady Jill Biden lashed out at special counsel Robert Hur over his scathing report that raised alarming questions about her husband’s advanced age and mental acuity.
While Hur cleared President Biden of any charges related to classified documents found at his Delaware home, he also flagged multiple instances of the commander-in-chief being forgetful, describing him as a “well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.”
Joe Biden has senile dementia. I have been saying this for some months now.

The 2024 election took another unpredictable turn on February 8 when Justice Department special counsel Robert Hur concluded that President Biden had willfully retained and disclosed classified information but did not deserve prosecution because a jury would see him as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” The special-counsel report reinforced GOP criticisms of a two-tier system of justice while amplifying widespread doubts that Biden is up to the job of president.
On the heels of the Hur report, laying out memory problems so severe that Joe Biden had trouble remembering the dates when he was vice president or the year his son died, here’s another very unhelpful story.
Hell has frozen over, and some in the left-wing corporate media have finally begun to entertain the notion that our 81-year-old President might, in fact, have some cognitive issues. Now is as good a time as any to remind everyone of how desperate these same journalists were to dismiss that idea as a “right-wing” conspiracy theory cooked up by cynical Republicans and “Russian television,” until ten seconds ago.
Special Counsel Robert Hur placed a spotlight on US President Joe Biden’s biggest political weakness – his age – by describing him as “an elderly man with a poor memory” who had difficulty recalling key milestones in his own life.
On Friday, as the president’s team went on the offensive to attack Mr Hur’s report – the result of a year-long inquiry into Mr Biden’s handling of classified files – Vice-President Kamala
Harris accused the special counsel of being “clearly politically motivated”.
A White House spokesman said the report was “inappropriate” and suggested legal experts held the same view.
You knew it was coming. The 25th Amendment exists for a reason. It’s time to dust it off and use it.
CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said Thursday on “Anderson Cooper 360” that voters will remember President Joe Biden calling Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi “the president of Mexico” in a press conference where he was addressing his age and memory after Special Counsel Robert Hur decided not to charge the president for keeping classified documents.
Hur said Biden was an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
Special counsel Robert Hur‘s report on his 15-month investigation into President Joe Biden‘s mishandling of classified documents includes damning assessments of the president’s mental acuity amid concerns about his age before November’s election.
In his nearly 400-page report, Hur provides details regarding his decision not to prosecute Biden criminally, unlike former President Donald Trump, such as the likelihood that a jury would sympathize with him and that he could not remember, “even within several years,” when his son Beau Biden died, among other important dates.
Devastating report; classified documents investigation yields telling evidence of 81 year-old Joe Biden's serious memory problems. 25th Amendment territory. https://t.co/MjpKFvZ5Fn pic.twitter.com/ab4PkQVQiE

Old Joe Biden on Sunday recounted a conversation he says he had not long after he was elected with “Mitterrand of Germany.” Of the many remarkable achievements of this singular man’s presidency, this has got to rank as the most remarkable of all, for François Mitterrand was not “of Germany;” he was president of France from 1981 to 1995, and he died in 1996. Many people are pointing to Old Joe’s words as just the latest in a long string of indications that he is unfit for the presidency, but look at the bright side: if the man can summon the dead, maybe he could have a chat with Charlemagne or Jan Sobieski, and turn this mess around. Four more years!
President Joe Biden’s foreign policy has collapsed. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan effectively admitted that to CNN’s Dana Bash on February 4.
“You have said now a couple times on this show and you have said this many times before that the administration is trying to prevent this from spreading into a regional conflict,” Bash told Sullivan on “State of the Union,” referring to the war in Gaza.
Joe Biden is in retreat.
Not literally this time, as we witnessed in Afghanistan in 2021, but from his ideologically driven reversal of a host of Trump policies upon taking office in January 2021.
In what might be called the Great Reversal, President Biden rolled back Trump policies as a matter of course and on principle, assuming that anything his predecessor was responsible for must be immoral or ineffectual.
As the November elections loom on the horizon, virtually every indicator points to a spectacular defeat for Joe Biden. He has the second-lowest third-year approval ratings of any recent president, and according to reports, Barack Obama is even telling him to drop out of the race. Things aren’t looking good for him at all, and with an increasingly vocal chorus from within the party telling him he can’t win, he’s getting increasingly desperate.
Old Joe Biden’s advanced age is an “asset,” Jill Biden assured the world on Thursday, and who could be more honest than Jill Biden? On Friday, however, the alleged commander-in-chief displayed this wonderful asset yet again, and raised new doubts not only about his viability as a candidate for reelection this November, but upon his fitness even to pretend to be president at this very moment.
PALM BEACH, Florida — Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that years ago when he was a U.S. senator that now-President Joe Biden was regarded by then-Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and his colleagues as the “dumbest” person in the U.S. Senate.
