COGNITIVE COVER-UP

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 1, 2024

     PRESIDENT BIDEN HAD HIS ANNUAL PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON WEDNESDAY. WHEN A REPORTER ASKED WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY KARENE JEAN-PIERRE WHETHER IT INCLUDED A COGNITIVE TEST SHE SAID “NO, BECAUSE HE DOESN’T NEED ONE.”

     IF ANYTHING SMELLS OF COVER-UP, THIS DOES. THIS PRESIDENT SHOWS AS MANY SIGNS OF COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT AS A DRUNK DRIVER WHO WEAVES ALONG THE ROAD AND WHEN STOPPED BY POLICE SMELLS OF ALCOHOL, BUT REFUSES TO TAKE A SOBRIETY TEST.

     OF COURSE BIDEN NEEDS A COGNITIVE TEST. DURING THE 2016 CAMPAIGN HE WAS ASKED BY A REPORTER IF HE HAD BEEN TESTED. “ALL THE TIME,” HE SAID. HE DIDN’T RELEASE THE RESULTS THEN. AND HE WON’T EVEN TAKE A TEST NOW, BECAUSE I SUSPECT HE AND THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF KNOW WHAT THE RESULTS WOULD BE.

     PRESIDENTS HAVE TRIED TO COVER-UP THEIR MEDICAL ISSUES IN THE PAST. WOODROW WILSON HAD A STROKE AND HIS WIFE COVERED FOR HIM. PHOTOGRAPHERS AGREED NOT TO PHOTOGRAPH FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT IN HIS WHEELCHAIR. JOHN KENNEDY SUFFERED BACK PAINS AND OTHER PROBLEMS. THE MEDIA MOSTLY IGNORED THEM.

     BIDEN’S REFUSAL TO TAKE A COGNITIVE TEST LEADS TO ONLY ONE CONCLUSION: HE IS IMPRAIRED. WHAT’S NEEDED IS A LIE DETECTOR TEST. I’M CAL THOMAS.
