Joe Biden’s comeback tour continued in Michigan on Friday, and it was the real-life equivalent of tweeting through it. With the president’s stalwart insistence on staying in the race despite his clear mental and physical decline, he and his handlers have decided to go full-bore no matter how much it further exposes his condition.
Perhaps that’s because the press has gotten their marching orders and is now spinning every rambling utterance by Biden as absolute proof he’s a picture of vigorous health. Whatever the reason, the rest of us have eyes and ears, and anyone telling you the president is fine is simply lying to you.
Biden was attempting to list off the names of the Michigan House members present at the rally who had been hosting him throughout the day. He managed to get through two before his brain fried, leaving him stammering before he turned to his patented “by the way” to try to escape the flub. From there, Biden creepily claims that people thought Rep. Debbie Dingell was his wife because “she looks like Jill.”
Could someone check and see if CNN “fact-checker” Daniel Dale is still on vacation? Because there is no evidence that Biden was ever involved in the civil rights movement. The claim that he was going to an AME church in Wilmington, DE, to plan how to “desegregate the restaurants and streets of our city” appears to be completely made up. No one has ever come forward to back Biden’s tales of being a civil rights hero, and every piece of data we do have says he was rather uninterested at the time.
Here’s another clip that MSNBC will no doubt be praising as part of the best rally speech in history. Again, it doesn’t matter what Biden does at this point. The order to circle the wagons has gone forth.
With the press firmly back on his side, Biden is free to abide in his delusion, such as the idea that the “majority agree” that the economy is headed in the right direction.
On the contrary, every single poll available shows that the majority of Americans disagree with the direction of the economy or rate it negatively. It’s not even a close call. The average of polls shows that the spread stands at -18.6 percent negative concerning views on the economy.
By the way, did you know that grocery prices and airfare are down under Biden? Yeah, me neither.
BIDEN: Overall prices fell last month. Core inflation is the lowest it’s been in three years. Prices are falling for cars, appliances, airfare, grocery prices have fallen since the start of this year.
The truth is that grocery prices are up at least 27 percent since the president took office. How do I know that? Because Biden’s own administration told us.
As of March 2024, the USDA recommends a family of four on a thrifty budget spend $976.60 monthly and $1,585.20 for a liberal budget. On average, across the four food plans, the monthly budget recommendation has risen 27% since the start of 2020.
From there, the brain malfunctions continued throughout the speech.
Let me try to transcribe that last one for you.
BIDEN: And by the way, I got criticized for taking on Medicare, I mean on taking on the drug companies, pharma, for that, (inaudible) it’s not, damn right, it’s alright.
Biden was also heckled, presumably by the Hamas supporters he continues to coddle. That led to him staring awkwardly, as others tried to chant “four more years” with mixed success.
So that’s about how his speech went. The comeback is on, and the press will do their part to push that narrative. How many people were actually at this rally? The Biden campaign protects wide shots like they are nuclear codes so I’m not sure. What I do know is that those standing behind the president were decked out in SEIU gear, which means they were almost certainly paid to be there.
All of this is astroturfed. Whether it’ll be enough to change Biden’s fortunes by convincing the broader American public that he’s “back” is an open question. I sense a dogfight ahead.
