The President’s Current Condition - Still a Mystery

I'm somewhat confident that Joe Biden is still alive. That said, what physical or mental state he currently is in is anyone's guess. The White House has communicated that Biden will be taking approximately 9 days off from the job of the presidency — not that he was performing many presidential duties before this break, except for staring agape at Independence Day fireworks or misidentifying Zelensky as Putin at the NATO summit.

It's concerning that Biden still hasn't been seen on camera since he returned from Las Vegas on a campaign trip that was cut short. Questions are now being raised as to whether POTUS had a medical emergency while in Las Vegas and was nearly hospitalized before expediting him back to the airport and Air Force One to make a hasty trip back to Delaware.

From Jordan Schachtel of The Dossier:

Radio dispatchers responsible for coordinating with the president’s detail requested an immediate “surge” of law enforcement resources into the area, both to secure the vicinity and to expedite the president’s movement. According to these law enforcement sources, the president’s motorcade was initially planning on heading to University Medical Center (UMC), which was located about two miles up the road from the president’s position. Police answered the call, rapidly deploying their “in the box” emergency squads to faciltate[sic] the reroute to the hospital. While researching for this story, we found that the local NBC affiliate KSNV confirmed last week, without much publicity, that UMC “was on standby after being alerted about a possible medical issue with President Joe Biden Wednesday afternoon while he was visiting Southern Nevada.”

The entire Dossier article is worth reading.

Did Joe Biden have a stroke? A mini-stroke? Did those around him believe that he had suffered a stroke? His appearances in Vegas were abruptly canceled. Doesn't sound like a bout of COVID for the ever-vaccinated/boosted president. So, what happened?

Is Kamala Harris the acting president as I write this? Is Joe Biden confined to bed rest? Why haven't we seen photographs or video of him? We heard his disembodied voice today on a phone call (not a video call) to Harris when she was speaking at a campaign event. Was he in bed at the time? Was he being coached by Jill on what to say over the phone?

When he returned home and deplaned from Air Force One, it appeared that he needed a great deal of assistance to be buckled into his seat in the Beast, the presidential limo.

Is he dying? If he was, would those around him and those who know...like Kamala...or his doctors...tell us? Does Kamala know? Shouldn't the Speaker of the House and others in the line of succession be informed of the president's current physical condition if it's serious or even grave?

    Good questions, every one. Good post, Brian.

    If this was Trump or any other Republican the press would be baying.

    This is so much more likely than COVID. Who knows who made the “call” to election HQ. I wouldn't bet any of my money that he’s rooting for Kamala. Or even knows he’s no longer running for President again. One cannot be too cynical nor skeptical.

    Don't forget that his brother said, "we want to enjoy whatever time he has left." That sounds like bad.

    I think I am more comfortable with Dr. Jill running the country than K.Harris the next 6 months.
