On Tuesday afternoon, President Joe Biden, or whatever is left of him, ran through the White House TV studio to a small table that looked like it had been put in IKEA for 6 weeks, and continued to talk about “investing in America,” before ignoring the question- asked the press with a strange grin on his face.
The message of this well-written show is very clear, and has nothing to do with economics. The real message that can no longer be ignored is that Joseph Robinette Biden is no longer running the country, if ever.
Later in the day, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that the president is working hard to bring about a cease-fire in Gaza that Biden continues to talk about. In fact, we’ve all been watching Biden, lying on the sand like a beached whale in Delaware a week ago.
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAPPY, MOCKED PRESS QUESTIONS SHOWING ONE MINUTE AT THE WHITE HOUSE EVENT
When I ask the shores of America if they believe that Biden is in charge of the day-to-day operations of the United States, the most frequent response I receive, from both sides, is constant laughter.
Where opinions begin to differ is about whether, or how many, certain individuals are sitting behind the Resolute Table. Is the president just a manager who slowly directs the efforts of unelected career professionals, or is the president a CEO whose imagination and ability matter?
The question reminds me of a story I heard about former President Donald Trump.
I attended a National Security Seminar at the Army War College in 2018 where I heard diplomats who had served under President Trump and Barack Obama speak. This person was asked if the phone at the embassy has ever rang because President Trump then changed US policy in an overnight tweet?
BIDEN laughed and laughed as the press was ushered out of the oval office without questions.
The diplomat laughed, and confirmed the incident, but he said that sometimes, even often, diplomacy can get stuck, where everyone takes the path of least resistance, and Trump has the ability to disrupt those ruts. a method that proves beneficial.
We saw evidence of this when Trump moved the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, or took out Iranian terrorist Qassem Soliemani, or when he reportedly threatened to bomb Moscow if Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine.
This is a decision made by individuals, by Donald Trump, not by top men and women assembled anonymously everywhere to maintain the status quo.
Can anyone believe that foreign leaders and regimes, be they friend or foe, have even the slightest interest in what Joe Biden has to say?
Today, unable to reduce capacity, Joe Biden is set to be the president of the United States for another five months. Does anyone in their right mind think Biden is making a tough call like Trump? Can anyone believe that foreign leaders and regimes, be they friend or foe, have even the slightest interest in what Joe Biden has to say?
In an election year full of surprises and weaknesses, from assassination attempts to Democratic presidential candidates failing to get votes, one can understand why the current president’s lack of leadership is unknown. But a scandal of the highest order.

Just three weeks ago at the Democratic National Convention, Hersh Goldberg-Polin’s parents took the stage to demand their son’s return from the clutches of Hamas. However, a few days later, the monsters executed in cold blood.
This is the country of American leadership under the leadership of Joe Biden. No one fears him, no one respects him, no one cares about him.
There is a reason the founders, in their wisdom, chose to give too much power to one person in the office of the president. One hundred and seventy-five years later, President Harry S. Truman summed up those reasons with the simple words, “the buck stops here.”

The only thing stopping Joe Biden is the respect of the rest of the world for our country’s commander-in-chief. It is difficult to overstate just how dangerous that is.
Americans deserve to know who is running their country, and right now, we have no idea. What we do know is that it’s not Joe Biden.
