‘Cognitively Impaired’ Biden Tries to Attack Trump, But Garbled Mess Is All That Comes Out of His Mouth

President Joe Biden has a loud-and-clear message to GOP front-runner Donald Trump and America: Don’t uhhiminauhwemerica with it, or you’ll lose out.

Got that?

That’s what our sharp-as-a-tack 81-year-old head of state had to say just hours before polls closed in New Hampshire as he was making a speech in Manassas, Virginia. I’ll be charitable and assume the choice of locale isn’t because he reads maps and calendars as well as he reads teleprompters; Biden and the Democratic National Committee have been trying to pretend the New Hampshire primary didn’t really count, since the DNC moved the “official” start of the primary season to South Carolina, and only started officially pushing a write-in campaign for the president in the Granite State when it became clear Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips, his only serious primary opposition, might embarrass him there. (He didn’t.)

Instead, the Manassas rally was intended to focus on celebrating the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the overturned Supreme Court decision that made legal abortion the law of the land. He promised to do that again, naturally, and veto any national abortion ban that crossed his desk — which, given the current political landscape, is a bit like promising to negotiate a peace treaty with Superman if he turns out to be real.

Alas, the official transcript of the event wasn’t up on the White House’s website as of early Wednesday morning, so we can only speculate/take bets on what his spin artists will interpret this garbled mess as:

“We’ll teach Donald Trump a valuable lesson: Don’t mess with uhhiminauhwemerica unless you want to get the benefit,” Biden said.

Now, I’m giving 3-1 odds on “the women of America,” although the statement doesn’t make much more sense then. (The benefit of what? Their vote? He could just say that, you know.) However, I’m also offering 10-1 odds on “the limit of America” and 65-1 odds on “the a-wim-o-we a-wim-o-we in the jungle unless you want to get the benefit.” The point is that he tried to own Trump, and he ended up with a self-own. Nice work.

Is Joe Biden cognitively impaired?

It’s worth noting that the mush-mouthed remark came during the same speech in which Biden engaged in what the media, in other circumstances, calls “election denial:”

“Hello Virginia! And the real governor, Terry McAuliffe,” Biden began, either forgetting or just bulldozing through the fact that McAuliffe lost rather convincingly to GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin in 2021.

I’m sure there’s a good chance that, somewhere on social media, former Harvard president Claudine Gay said that “election denial” depends on the context. There’s also a good chance that, an hour or two later, that social media post was deleted because someone noticed Gay copied it word-for-word from former University of Pennsylvania president Liz McGill’s post on the matter.

But I digress. Biden would go on to have an otherwise good day, despite the unforced errors. Phillips’ challenge to Biden in New Hampshire seems to have fallen short of expectations, with the Minnesota representative sitting at just short of 20 percent as of midnight Wednesday, according to The New York Times. Meanwhile, write-ins for Biden and unprocessed write-ins — which are also likely for Biden — sit at just short of 70 percent of the total. In short, Phillips’ attempt to pull a Eugene McCarthy and send a sitting president back home to shrivel away failed.

However, the victory still doesn’t tackle the issue of whether or not Biden is “cognitively impaired,” as the Trump War Room X account put it. Poll after poll seems to say that Americans are unconvinced at best — and those who are convinced aren’t falling in the “fit as a fiddle” camp.

It would have been a nice day for Joe Biden to shut up, in other words. But that’s not how the president rolls. No, he had to celebrate the 51st anniversary of a dead Supreme Court decision and remind America that high-mileage Joe still hasn’t undergone a cognitive restoration.

Nor is this the only time in the past week that these moments have come up. Here’s Biden on Monday, mixing up his cabinet members:

And here’s Biden last week in North Carolina, forgetting that a Democratic congresswoman wasn’t in the room:

This, in short, is the first time I can remember where an incumbent’s supporters probably chant “four more years” with a question mark as opposed to an exclamation point at the end of that statement.

And, to make matters worse, Donald Trump’s victory in the New Hampshire primary almost certainly means that — absent some kind of miracle that resembles the ’69 Mets winning the World Series, Buster Douglas winning his fight over Mike Tyson, and your 17-year-old’s hand-me-down ’92 Camry winning the Indianapolis 500 all rolled into one — Nikki Haley’s time remaining in the Republican primary process will be a short one. That means an elongated one-on-one general election campaign — and, unlike 2020, it can’t be held from anyone’s basement.

On the plus side, that gives the president’s campaign plenty of time to figure out what “uhhiminauhwemerica” means. On the downside, it gives him another 10-plus months of “uhhiminauhwemericas.” Still feeling confident about that Biden write-in, New Hampshireites?


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning
