Joe Biden continues to age at warp speed on the campaign trail
There's a bad joke about a music scholar who visits Beethoven's grave in Vienna. As he nears, he hears the Ninth Symphony being played backward. He turns to the cemetery caretaker and asks, "What's that strange music?" The caretaker answers, "Oh, that's just Beethoven de-composing." That joke pops into my mind every time I see photos of Joe Biden or hear him speak. On the one hand, Biden is holding up better than I would have expected a few months ago. On the other hand, no one can deny that the man is aging with incredible speed
Today, several people emailed me the same meme. I looked at it and saw a photo that purports to be Joe Biden, placed next to a picture of a monster character from Mattel named Skeletor:
You'll note that I said a photo that "purports to be Joe Biden." You see, when I first saw the photo, I assumed that it was a manipulated spoof photo. That couldn't really be Biden, could it?
Well, yes, it could. Jim Hoft, at Gateway Pundit, explains that it was a photo by Carolyn Kaster of the Associated Press. She snapped it when Biden was speaking on Saturday at the Plumbers Local Union in Erie, Pennsylvania. If you go to Gateway Pundit, you can see the original photo as well as a close-up showing Biden's skeletal visage.
Later, the Boston Globe, which is where Hoft found the photo, replaced it with another photo. I wonder why!
When you look at a video of the event, Biden doesn't appear a whole lot better:
Contrast that drained man, speaking with a flat voice, with footage of Biden just five years ago, in 2015, when he had decided not to run for president in 2016:
As we all know, looks aren't everything. Biden's rapid aging is also apparent because he is as confused as ever. While in Toledo, Ohio, Biden announced that he was running for the Senate, a mistake he's made before. (He did correct himself, which is not included in the footage below.)
"I'm running as a proud Democrat for the Senate"

Biden also confused Teddy Kennedy with Robert Byrd. It's not clear how he did it, because the two men were very different, and both were his good friends. You'd think Biden would know that it was Teddy Kennedy who left a woman to die to protect his career, while it was Robert Byrd who was both an Exalted Cyclops and a Kleagle (or recruiter) for the KKK.
Biden used to tell this story correctly (like in his book and when he was eulogizing Byrd at his funeral) pic.twitter.com/r7QZ6fYFnL

Biden also forgot entirely Mitt Romney's name, referring to him as "a Mormon." I'm not a Romney fan, but surely Biden could do better than that:

Biden's going to hang in there until the election. He may (God forbid) even win the election.
I just wanted this post to be a reminder of how cynical the Democrats are. They know that Biden is useless. They know that we, the People, know that Biden is useless. But they're running him anyway because he's a placeholder. I don't like Biden, but that's a pretty darn cruel way to use an old man who seems to be rapidly approaching that final meeting with his Maker.

Biden Considers Killer of 11,000 Seniors for Attorney General
Joe Biden's whole coronavirus argument is that the Trump administration failed to control the virus based on the death toll. Meanwhile New York accounts for between 1/6th and 1/7th of the country's death total. And, despite Cuomo's recent attempt a victory lap, the resurgence is arriving, which he's trying to blame on Orthodox Jews.
A big chunk of that comes from the 11,000+ excess senior deaths at nursing homes. And a sizable chunk of that death toll would have been driven by Cuomo's horrifying decision to force nursing homes to accept thousands of infected coronavirus patients.
If killing 11,000 seniors doesn't disqualify you from a cabinet position in a Democrat administration, how many seniors do you have to kill to be disqualified?
The last time Cuomo held a role in a presidential administration, he helped bring on the great economic collapse of the oughts.
When he held down the governorship, he killed 11,000 seniors.
So, of course, Joe Biden is considering him for Attorney General.
After causing a nationwide economic meltdown and killing 11,000 seniors, how much harm can he do in control of the Justice Department?
Joe Biden Rakes in Nearly $20M from Wealthy Real Estate Developers
Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden is wooing wealthy real estate developers, outpacing President Trump in contributions from the industry.
Analysis from the Center for Responsive Politics reveals that Biden has taken about $19.8 million from real estate professionals, which is 19 percent more than Trump has taken.
As Forbes has noted, billionaire real estate brokers such as George Marcus have donated millions to elect Biden and Democrats this election cycle.
Biden’s housing plan, as Breitbart News reported, would implement an unprecedented expansion of Section 8 housing vouchers while requiring that local communities abolish strict zoning laws in order to become eligible for certain federal grants.
The plan provides a $300 million investment “to give states and localities the technical assistance and planning support they need to eliminate exclusionary zoning policies and other local regulations that contribute to sprawl.”
Communities unwilling to eliminate their zoning laws to allow multi-family, mixed-income housing development in their neighborhoods would be shut out of federal grants under Biden’s plan.
Biden’s housing policy has also excited Wall Street investors who see the expansiveness of his plan as a cash cow. During a campaign event last month in Wisconsin, Biden touted Wall Street’s support for his housing plan, saying it would increase GDP.
