In what can only be described as a political spectacle of the highest order, the Senate recently embarked on what appears to be a long-overdue inquiry into Joe Biden’s cognitive capacity during his presidency. A hearing was held to address concerns surrounding Biden’s ability to execute the duties expected of the President of the United States. The Republicans are on the hunt for explanations, as they suspect the Wizard of Oz might have been pulling the strings from behind the curtain during his administration. One can’t help but wonder if the Oval Office’s decisions were coming from a man barely able to find the bathroom, as some whistleblowers suggested, rather than the man elected to the position.
This first hearing posed pressing questions about the former-president’s competency in handling pivotal situations and even the most routine tasks. With the 25th Amendment drafted to handle such situations, the question remains as to why it wasn’t invoked. After all, ensuring the President’s capability is not a small matter in a republic where power is supposed to rest firmly in the hands of the people, rather than becoming a game of marionettes where voters simply pick the figurehead.
Interestingly, the hearing wasn’t graced with a robust Democrat presence. No shock there as they decided to boycott the proceedings altogether, save for a couple of brave souls who broke from the herd. The absence was perhaps due to an innate discomfort in answering questions central to national governance, a tactic which might as well be renamed the Ostrich Strategy—see no scandal, hear no scandal.
It seems like every time there’s a question of accountability or responsibility, fingers instinctively point at legacy media and political opponents. Some Senate members, along with a strangely reticent media, have chosen evasive maneuvers over transparent answers. Democrats have seemingly ignored the mounting evidence and the blundering responses from Biden over the years. They were content keeping mum, perhaps hoping nobody noticed who was really running the show—whether it was left-wing radicals, radical left wings, or a farcical coalition of the two.
The Republicans, led by figures like Missouri’s Senator Eric Schmitt, continue to champion the cause of transparency, demanding uncovering just what was happening behind those closed doors. They plan to pursue documents with fervor, seeking any shred of evidence that might reveal the true command structure of the Biden administration. The tale of an autocue presidency isn’t merely anecdotal now; it’s on the verge of being historic—that is, if they can ever get past the red tape and evasive counter-narratives. The saga continues, intent on preventing future debacles that might leave U.S. governance in the hands of anyone but a duly elected, cognitively sound President.
