Remember when you claimed he couldn’t fly in airplanes because of his dementia?


He shouldn't fly, but it is necessary for the job.

Air travel is stressful for dementia patients. Biden is accompanied by staff and caregivers, usually including his wife, which makes it easier for him.

Unlike Trump, when Biden lands, they never allow him to give a short speech or take questions.

Arriving home, confused Biden ignores Secret Service directions not to walk on the lawn and take the short route. Then appears to be lost as he walks past the Agent pointing to where he should enter the White House.

Short lapses of awareness happen to many people even when they're 20 years old. Can this substantially increase when you're nearly 80 without being full-on dementia? Probably. I don' deny he could still be headed into full-on dementia at some point. He's certainly old enough for it.

Gosh. Here is the FRC scam.


FRC was loaning out home mortgages (at least $58B) at rates below 3% for interest only for 10 years to the super-rich in high class areas in 2020-2021.

No wonder why they received a $30B injection from 11 large banks the other day.

They wanted the info hidden.


No one so far wants to buy their junk.

Stock hit a low today around $4.72 or so.

Big difference between “shouldn’t” and “can’t” (what you previously said).

Honest question for the woke brigade: is this “woke”?

I think it is awesome. I can't wait for Tourettes Barbie because I like girls that talk dirty.

Anything that leads to sterilization could be considered as woke.

All persons are just as valuable as anyone else.

To encourage a person not to be able to reproduce is unethical.

I think quad amputee Barbies have been created by the end user since Barbie hit the market. Or perhaps by the mean little brother.

I think it’s a nice thing if you have a child with DS to give her a doll that’s ‘like her’. Don’t they also make ‘wheelchair’ dolls and ‘bald’ dolls to appeal to those with those afflictions? I don’t think anyone on the left or right would have a problem with this concept.

It's hard to be against this, but is there really a market for this?
