“This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” lied Joe Biden in 2021. Also that year, he added another lie: “You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.”

Since then, vaxxed and boosted President Vaccine Mandate has gotten COVID three times, including now — arguably the worst possible time. Or is it the best time?

Terminally behind in national polls and, more importantly, every battleground state in the Electoral College, Biden said just before the diagnosis that he might consider dropping out for medical reasons. “If I had some medical condition that emerged,” he conceded in a BET interview on Tuesday, “if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem…”

Lo and behold, he’s got COVID. After running around unmasked while shaking hands and taking selfies with people yesterday, he’s canceled events and retreated to Delaware. Again.

He’s stubbornly flailing against mounting calls for him to step aside due to Parkinson’s or whatever is causing his manifest cognitive decline, and now this. It happened just when California’s Adam Schiff became the 21st congressional Democrat to publicly call for Biden to “pass the torch.” Just when ABC News reported a private conversation in which Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer pressed Biden to step aside, and The Washington Post confirmed the same message came from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in a separate conversation. Just when reports say Nancy Pelosi privately told him he can’t win and will ruin Democrat chances in Congress.

Just when there are more leaked conversations of DNC delegates plotting his imminent retirement, which Axios reports could come as early as this weekend.

And just when Senator John Hickenlooper told Reuters that Biden “has always put the country first” and “he’s working towards that.” Another unnamed senior Democrat adviser says Biden is finally “receptive” to the idea of stepping aside. “He’s gone from saying, ‘Kamala [Harris] can’t win’ to ‘Do you think Kamala can win?’” the adviser added. Is all that code for announcing the end of his pathetic attempt for a second term?

The president could barely climb the Air Force One stairs yesterday after giving a weak thumbs up to a screaming reporter’s question about how he felt. Even when he’s been healthy in recent weeks, he can barely get through one sentence coherently.

Nevertheless, he has his dead-ender defenders. The Trump-hating Biden sycophants at MSDNC MSNBC could only see a comparison — I kid you not — to the assassination attempt against Donald Trump. Joy Reid opined:

These two men are both elderly. Donald Trump is an elderly man who — for whatever reason — was given nine seconds to take a iconic [sic] photo op during an active shooter situation. … His survival of that and bouncing right back and going right to his convention is being conveyed in the media world as a sign of strength. This current president of the United States is 81 years old and has COVID. Should he be fine in a couple of days, doesn’t that convey exactly the same thing? That he’s strong enough, older than Trump, to have gotten something that used to really be fatal to people his age? So, if he does fine and comes back and is able to do rallies, isn’t that exactly the same?

“It should,” agreed Jen Psaki, Biden’s former spokeswoman.

Well, you see, it’s all relative to the candidate’s strength. https://t.co/1gaCpVdKOl

Speaking of spokespeople, whoever runs Biden’s X account evidently thought it would be clever to post as a standalone tweet, “I’m sick.”

I’m sick

— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 17, 2024

And then follow that up with a reply: “of Elon Musk and his rich buddies trying to buy this election.”

There are currently 87,000 replies to that first tweet, filling in proof of Biden’s sickness. It shouldn’t have taken a genius to figure out exactly how that would go.

Back to the BET interview, Biden addressed the question on everyone’s mind: Why is he running again after saying in 2020 that he’d be a “transitional” leader, implying a single term?

“I said I was going to be a transitional candidate, and I thought I would be able to move on from this and pass it on to somebody else,” he said. “But I didn’t anticipate things getting so, so, so divided. And quite frankly, I think the only thing age brings is a little bit of wisdom.”

That “wisdom” has been shown through Biden’s incessant efforts to divide Americans. From his “unity” Inaugural Address to that extremist speech in front of the Nazi-like backdrop, Biden has done nothing but sow hatred and division. He’s not a good or decent man, and the president whose Justice Department prosecutes his opponent and who ignores the Supreme Court and Congress to transfer student loan balances to taxpayers (including another $1.2 billion just today) is not the guy to “save democracy.”

The funny thing is that his party is becoming increasingly unified — against him. Senator Hickenlooper put a hilariously unbelievable spin on that. “I don’t think a lot of people realize how beloved Joe Biden is and what sorrow and anguish people feel that he might not be the candidate. Even people who feel that he should not be the candidate feel a great sense of loss,” Hickenlooper eulogized. “He’s been one of the greatest presidents, perhaps the greatest president of my lifetime.”

Give me a break! That’s a bunch of malarkey!

I’d be remiss if I didn’t once again highlight that Mark Alexander predicted in October 2022 that Biden would not be the nominee. Well, the walls are closing in.

If, after all the division over the coronavirus he brought, Biden were to drop out even in part because of COVID, it would be poetic justice of the highest order.
