In the closing years of my mother’s life, when she was living with Carol and me, she suffered from a form of dementia or perhaps Alzheimer’s. One of the indications there was something wrong was that she would say something to us and just a minute or two later, she would bring up exactly the same subject and repeat exactly what she had just said.

It was very frustrating and depressing. It broke our hearts because my mother was a very sharp lady, yet she couldn’t help it. As she deteriorated, she had to give up some things in life because she could no longer handle them, given the state of her mental condition.

That’s what we’re dealing with in our current president, but those around him who love him won’t tell him that. Or maybe they do, but he forgets.

Here’s why I’m raising this issue now.

Earlier this week, Joe Biden attended a fundraiser in Manhattan and explained to the audience why he decided to run for president in 2020. Biden claims he made the decision to run after he allegedly witnessed Donald Trump calling neo-Nazis at the 2017 Charlottesville riots “fine people.”

Biden has told this story before. But at the Manhattan fundraiser, he told it twice within a few minutes, just like my mother used to do.

I don’t think the main issue with Joe Biden is that he’s incapable, which is serious enough.

The main issue is that he’s a liar, and he’s empowering evil people. The Charlottesville story he told twice is a bald-faced lie, one he has repeated over and over since the day he launched his campaign.

Just like his son, Beau, dying in combat, it’s not true.

Just like his days as a truck driver, it’s not true.

Just like his uncle’s Purple Heart, it’s not true.

Just like his three degrees and graduating at the top of his class, it’s not true.

Just like he never discussed Hunter’s business with him, it’s not true.

And it’s the worst kind of lie to suggest that Donald Trump praised Nazis. He did not.

This is wrong on so many counts, and it’s another sign of the great danger we’re facing on so many fronts.

By the way, if it wasn’t already obvious after the Afghanistan debacle, Biden’s shrinking mental capacity is another reason why no one should be pushing Biden to get the United States involved in a war with anybody!
