Pollak: Why Is No One Discussing the 25th Amendment for Joe Biden?
President Joe Biden called for the late Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-IN) to appear during a live event on hunger and nutrition Wednesday. Walorski was killed in a car accident last month, and Biden had previously called her family to offer condolences.
Though the White House attempted to spin his faux pas as a mere sign that Walorski was “top of mind,” describing it as the kind of mistake that anyone could make, the embarrassing error was the latest evidence that Biden may not be mentally competent to hold the office of president.
And yet there is no talk about removing him from office, using the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, under which the Vice President and the Cabinet submit a written statement to the leaders of Congress that the President is unable to discharge his duties. When President Donald Trump was in office, the media talked constantly about the 25th Amendment. There were even reports that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein tried to invoke the 25th Amendment and replace Trump with Vice President Mike Pence.
Now, however, the media area silent. There are three reasons. The first may be that Biden’s gaffes are nothing new. In 2008, for example, then-Sen. Biden — younger and sharper than he is today — told a wheelchair-bound state senator in Missouri to stand up at a rally. The second reason is that Vice President Kamala Harris may not offer much of an improvement: on Thursday, during a visit to the Demilitarized Zone, she mistakenly praised the “strong alliance” between the U.S. and the “Republic of North Korea.”
But the third and most important reason is sheer political partisanship. The media, and the Democratic Party, and important parts of the executive branch itself, wanted Trump removed from power. Therefore any pretext — an offensive tweet, a slow walk down a ramp — became an excuse to demand that the Cabinet get rid of Trump. And it might have happened, too: the problem was that the same Mike Pence who would later decline to reject the Electoral College vote was not going to go along with a constitutional coup.

IN A REAL DEMOCRACY, GAMER LAWYERS JOE BIDEN, HUNTER BIDEN AND JAMES BIDEN WOULD ALL BE IN PRISON AS TRAITORS AND INFLUENCE PEDDLERS.
Naïve American people had no idea what they were getting with Biden: A senile, corrupt, debauched old man with a son who was a conduit for his dirty dealings and who has a personal life so disgusting it’s hard to write about it. That’s what the American media and the tech tyrants have done to America.

Joe Biden’s mental faculties are declining before our eyes
Just yesterday, Joe Biden was speaking at a conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health conducted at the White House.
As he concluded his remarks, he expressed his gratitude to a bipartisan group of lawmakers who, he said, pushed the White House to organize the event.
Among the names was Indiana Rep. Jackie Walorski.
"Jackie, are you here? Where's Jackie? I think she was going to be here," Biden said looking for Rep. Walorski in his audience.
Sadly, Rep. Jackie Walorski died in a car accident last August, along with two staffers.
Biden had even paid tributes to Walorski upon the news of her passing in August.
In fact, a video paying generous tributes to Warloski was already played at the very conference where Biden was speaking.
In addition, the Senate passed legislation naming a Veterans Affairs clinic in Indiana after Walorski, and that legislation will soon be signed by Biden.
During the same event, the following also happened:
Biden just had a random outburst.
Biden confused his Agricultural secretary with a senator:
Finally, a reporter during yesterday’s White House Press briefing asked an elementary question about the obvious, which has become an act of bravery in today's times. For a change, it wasn’t the fearless Mr. Doocy.
White House Press Secretary Karin Jean-Pierre did what she always does -- she beat aimlessly around the bushes, mentioning occurrences unrelated to the answer.
She mentioned the importance of food insecurity and that Biden was naming the congressional champions on this issue and oh, by the way, was acknowledging Walorski’s incredible work.
She added that Biden had planned to welcome the congresswoman’s family to the White House on Friday where a bill will be signed in her honor.
She added that Walorski was ‘of top of mind’ for Biden.
Surprisingly the reporter was not willing to let go, she pressed Jean- Pierre again about Biden looking for Walorski.
Jean-Pierre merely stuck to the claim that she was on top of Biden's mind, She then proceed to repeat exactly what she claimed earlier.
The Democrat mouthpiece the New York Times and the Washington Post reported these as honest mistakes, obviously.
Now for a look at the past.
Over a week ago, at the Global Fund's Seventh Replenishment Conference in New York, Biden seemed lost on stage following his address. See the video here.
A few months ago, at the White House, following an appearance alongside President Obama, Biden looked baffled. See the video here.
Biden even wandered around the White House lawn despite being directed by his security detail. See the video here.
A while back, Biden shook hands with a ghost. See the video here.
Biden even struggled to put on his jacket and needed assistance from his wife Jill. See the video here.
At times, Biden has trouble recalling words from the English language and fumbles. See the video here.
At times, Biden struggles to recall or remember names. See the videos here and here.
Biden even struggles while reading from his teleprompter. See the video here.
At times, he even reads the instructions off a teleprompter. See the video here.
Biden frequently makes claims that need to be walked back by the White House.
Biden recently claimed that the pandemic is over, but his handlers rejected the claim. See the video here.
An easy way to verify Biden’s decline is to watch videos of him during his tenure as vice president from 2008 to 2016.
Biden wasn’t exactly the most eloquent of speakers, but he was at least able to string together coherent sentences and exit a room.
He was always prone to gaffes.
As vice president, Biden paid premature condolence to Irish then-prime minister, Brian Cowen, on the death of his mother. Unlike Walorski, she was very much alive. See the video here.
Some of Biden’s ardent admirers may attempt to compare that decade-old premature tribute to Biden looking for Rep Jackie Walorski, attempting to make it look like a careless or innocent gaffe.
But that would be an unfair comparison.
Biden merely confused the passing of the Irish premier’s father with his mother. During the rest of his remarks, it was amply clear Biden was in full control of his cognitive and mental faculties. It was an insensitive and careless mistake perhaps emanating from apathy towards his job.
Also, the Irish premier wasn’t his colleague whom he met frequently, it is easy to forget details about his parents. Walorski was a sitting representative and her passing made headlines, especially in Washington. She was in the news recently following the legislation passed in her memory. Anybody with a functioning mind would remember this.
But Biden’s frequent listless displays are not mistakes, they are a result of a mind that is obviously not functioning fully. See the video here.
Biden’s rapidly declining cognitive abilities were obvious to anyone watching since he launched his presidential bid.
Even his fellow Democrats taunted him during a primary debate. See the video here.
Despite that, someone in the Democrat party leadership saw this as a boon. They saw Biden as the empty vessel where they could pour their far-left agenda that alters America forever.
Biden struggles to remember his way around the White House lawn, so the notion of his legacy is never going to cross his impaired mind.
The Democrat lackeys who masquerade as late-night comics and the Saturday-night comics are either too compromised or too cowardly to make fun of Biden.
Hence comedians from Saudi Arabia have stepped in.
Is there more freedom of expression in Saudi Arabia than in the U.S.?
So what do we have now?
The nation is struggling on myriad fronts due to Biden’s misgovernance. The world is in chaos with a never-ending war ravaging Ukraine and Afghanistan back in control of ISIS and al-Qaida.
How should the GOP react?
The GOP, irrespective of the midterm outcome, must compel Biden to take a thorough cognitive test. The test must be administered in the presence of Dr. Ronny Jackson and Dr. Rand Paul in addition to Biden’s team of doctors. The test results must be made public.
If the Democrats could secure the appointment of a Special Counsel while the GOP held the Senate, the House, and the White House, in 2017, the GOP can surely compel Biden to take such a test.
In fact, there is no reason to wait till the midterms, a test must be conducted as soon as possible.
If Biden falls short he must be relieved from his duties, immediately.
The first alternative is the 25th Amendment where the vice president and the majority of the president’s Cabinet determine the president is unfit for office. Congress then approves that process by a two-thirds vote in both chambers.
But this is unlikely to happen.
Firstly the vice president and Biden’s cabinet are Democrats.
Secondly, nobody wants Kamala Harris as president.
The second alternative is impeachment.
Biden will not be convicted in the Senate, but the impeachment in the House will be a symbolic statement.
Also, if it is established that Biden is mentally compromised, it will cause public pressure.
Installing a puppet and running a government by proxy are tactics used by the deep state of third-world totalitarian regimes. This must never be allowed in one of the world’s leading democracies.
The least the nation deserves is a physically and mentally fit leader.
Time for the absurdity to end now!
Over to you, Republicans.

True Fact: Hunter Biden took $5 million in a deal with his Chinese business associate Patrick Ho — who he referred to as “the f**king spy chief of China” in a recording on his abandoned laptop.
However, the lust for power and immense pecuniary gains cause people to behave in the most cold-hearted fashion. It is inhuman of Biden's wife and family to allow him to be exploited like this, such that he becomes the target of ridicule.

Harvard Caps Harris Poll: 56% of Voters ‘Have Doubts’ About Biden’s Mental ‘Fitness’ for Office
(CNS News) -- According to a September 2022 Harvard Caps Harris Poll, President Joe Biden’s (D) approval rating is at 41%, inflation is the top concern (38%) among voters, and 56% say they “have doubts” about the president’s mental fitness for office.
The survey, conducted Sept. 7-8 among 1,885 registered voters, gathered answers from Americans to understand the mood of the country on a variety of issues.
For instance, the survey asked, “What would you say are the most important issues facing the country today?” In response, 39% said “price increases / inflation” is the most important issue.
The second top issue was “economy and Jobs” (26%) and immigration was third (22%).
Some of the least important issues cited by registered voters were “income inequality” (6%), “political correctness/cancel culture” (5%), and “foreign policy” (4%).” Only 15% of voters named the “environment/climate change” as important.
The survey also asked, “Do you think that President Biden is fairly raising issues around MAGA Republicans or is the President trying to avoid talking about inflation, immigration, crime, and other issues?”
In response, 59% said he is raising the topic to avoid “talking about inflation, immigration, crime and other issues.” Forty-one percent said he was “fairly raising MAGA Republican issues.”
When asked about the “U.S. Economy: Right Track / Wrong Track,” 64% said the economy is on the wrong track; only 30% said the right track.
Those surveyed were also asked, “How strong do you think the U.S. economy is today?” Results showed that 66% thought the economy was weak and 34% thought the economy was strong.
In addition to the economy questions, the surveyed asked, “Is Joe Biden mentally fit to serve as president of the United States or do you have doubts about his fitness for office?” Fifty-six percent said they “have doubts about his fitness; 44% said Biden is “mentally fit.”
Voters were then asked, “Do you think Joe Biden is showing that he is too old to be president of do you think he is showing he is fit to be president?” A strong majority, 63%, said Biden is “showing he is too old.” Only 37% said he is showing he “is fit to be president.”
When asked if Biden should run for a second term or not, 67% said “not run,” and only 33% said “run.”
Among those who said Biden should not run in 2024, 48% said it was because “he’s a bad president,” and 30% said “he’s too old.”

Joe Biden wanders off lost, again
The day before yesterday, amid all the United Nations festivities, Joe Biden was addressing the Global Fund's Seventh Replenishment Conference in New York.
The event was organized to raise funds to fight AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria.
Biden ended his speech by thanking all the participants for their contributions.
Biden had managed the challenging part of the exercise, reading off the teleprompter devoid of major gaffes. All he had to do was exit the stage into a safe zone away from prying eyes and camera lenses.
Anyone with functioning cognitive abilities could achieve this with ease. Alas, that wasn't the case with Biden.
Biden walked toward the right side of the stage to disembark but suddenly stopped, looking confused and lost.
Biden appeared to be mumbling under his breath. His utterances were inaudible owing to the surrounding noises at the venue.
The host then read out a thank you note, which attracted Biden's attention but seemed to compound his bewilderment.
The video has been viewed nearly six million times.
To be fair, this was an unfamiliar venue, and camera flashes can temporarily impair visibility. But when this happens, most individuals promptly look for guidance from personnel from the venue.
But in Biden's case, this was more than a momentary confusion. He seemed utterly lost for quite some time.
This isn't the first time Biden seemed to be disoriented.
It happened at the White House following an appearance alongside President Obama.
It even happened on the White House lawn, where Biden ambled around aimlessly despite being prompted by members of the Secret Service.
At one event, Biden once shook hands with an invisible man.
Biden recently struggled to accomplish the simple task of getting his jacket on. When he tried, he dropped his sun goggles. He needed the assistance of his wife Jill.
Biden seems like an appliance struggling to function when the battery is almost drained.
An easy way to verify Biden's decline is to watch videos of his from a decade ago. Biden wasn't exactly the most adept of wordsmiths or astute of thinkers. But he was able to construct coherent sentences and exit a room.
Yes, Biden was always prone to gaffes, but those gaffes often emanated from carelessness and overconfidence bordering on arrogance.
As vice president, he paid condolences to an Irish then–prime minister over the supposed death of his mother. However, his tribute was utterly premature, because the lady in question was alive and well.
Biden's recent gaffes are of a different nature. They originate from a mind that is obviously not functioning fully.
Months ago, Texas GOP rep. Ronny Jackson, who was the White House physician for the Obama and Trump administrations, demanded that Biden take a cognitive test
So what is this condition?
Johns Hopkins Medicine's website states that cognitive disorder impairment, or dementia, usually affects older adults. This condition affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It progresses to the point where it affects basic activities and functions.
An individual who suffers from this mustn't be assigned stressful or complex tasks such as leading one of the world's largest democracies and having access to nuclear weapons.
The decline in Biden's cognitive abilities was apparent from the day he launched his presidential bid.
Even his fellow Democrats taunted him during a primary debate.
But someone in the higher echelons of the Democrat party hatched this plan to install a puppet in the White House. Someone knew he could use Biden to push a far-left agenda that would alter America forever.
Most presidents are concerned about their legacy and are reluctant to bring about drastic changes. But Biden struggles to remember his way around the White House lawn, so the notion of his legacy is unlikely to even cross his impaired mind.
So what do we have now?
Biden is lost, both in the literal sense and the metaphorical sense.
The nation is struggling due to Biden's misgovernance on matters ranging from record inflation to an open border. The world is in chaos. Afghanistan seems to be back in control of ISIS and al-Qaeda, while the conflict in Ukraine seems to be needlessly escalating due to war-mongers in Washington. Taiwan is on tenterhooks. Venezuela has descended into a full-blown narco-state and puppet of Russia, its nationals fleeing that country in their millions.
Biden frequently makes claims that the White House has to walk back, which even his allies in the media are forced to chronicle.
Biden claimed that Vladimir Putin must be ousted from power. Perhaps Biden inadvertently revealed the mission behind the U.S. intervening in the conflict in Russia, as that claim was summarily walked back.
Biden recently claimed that the pandemic is over, but the puppetmasters repudiated that statement, too.
Beyond the walk-backs, Biden's schedule when he is in the White House is always light. He frequently escapes to Delaware, even when the country is struggling under myriad crises due to his misgovernance.
Biden rarely is subjected to the press for impromptu questions, and in fact, Biden's staffers often prevent him from answering questions. Live broadcasts are frequently delayed by an hour, quite possibly because Biden is unprepared.
Biden read cluelessly from a teleprompter, making it obvious that he doesn't comprehend the words he is pronouncing.
He reads anything before him, including the instructions.
The White House may manage to "manage" Biden, but his incapacity is exposed when he has to deal the shrewd adversaries such as Russia's President Putin.
Putin surely realized during his one-to-one meeting with Biden that Biden was compromised and not in control. Perhaps it emboldened him to engage militarily in Ukraine.
What should the GOP do if they win majorities in the Senate and the House following the midterms?
They must compel Biden to take a thorough cognitive test, and the test results must be made public. The test must be administered in the presence of Dr. Jackson and Dr. Rand Paul in addition to Biden's team of doctors.
If Biden were to fail those tests, he must be relieved from his duties, immediately.
The first alternative is the 25th Amendment, which has never been used previously. Here the vice president and the majority of the president's Cabinet determine that the president is unfit for office. Congress then approves that process by a two-thirds vote in both chambers.
This is an impossibility since the vice president and Biden's Cabinet are Democrats.
The second alternative is impeachment.
Despite the fact that the GOP won't be able to convict Biden in the Senate due to the likes of Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, and other usual suspects, a Republican Congress must impeach Biden for symbolic reasons.
Installing a puppet and running a government by proxy are tactics used by the Deep State of third-world totalitarian regimes. This must never be allowed in one of the world's leading democracies.
However, the lust for power and immense pecuniary gains cause people to behave in the most cold-hearted fashion. It is inhuman of Biden's wife and family to allow him to be exploited like this, such that he becomes the target of ridicule.
Biden is the empty vessel into which anything can be poured.
This dream is for the Democrats eager to force their unpopular and unsustainable ideas on the public, yet this has become an unmitigated nightmare for the American people.
The Democrats have diminished the highest office in the nation and the nation itself.

WATCH: Joe Biden’s Senior Moment of the Week Vol. 12
It was another challenging week for President Joe Biden. The 79-year-old commander in chief attempted to reassure the American people of his mental fitness during an interview with 60 Minutes, but he struggled to form a coherent sentence. "I have trouble even mentioning, even saying to myself, my own head, the number of years," Biden said. "I no more think of myself as being as old as I am than fly. I mean, it's just not."
Biden's handlers need to do a better job of corralling him immediately after he stops speaking to prevent him from wandering off like a nursing home patient on the loose. White House aides are presumably overwhelmed, given how often they are forced to publicly disavow something Biden blurted out in public. For example, administration officials scrambled to clarify Biden's assertion that the COVID-19 "pandemic is over." White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre suggested Biden might have been distracted while "walking through the Detroit car show" and "looking around."
The president fired back in an exclusive guest column for the Washington Free Beacon, insisting his brain is working just fine. "Joe Biden is not a question of fitness to serve as president," he wrote. "Repeat the line."
Have a great weekend!
