New in PJ Media:
Old Joe Biden has been in politics for over half a century, and before the onset of his dementia, he could be a fluid and occasionally effective public speaker, although he was never as charming or compelling as he clearly believed himself to be. But as he has aged, the doddering corruptocrat who pretends to be president of the United States has lost whatever ability he ever had to move an audience.
Now, more often than not, he tries for an emotional effect and only manages to come off as weird, as with his bizarre habit of whispering points he wants to give particular emphasis. But Old Joe has never been weirder than he was on Tuesday in Virginia Beach, where he was supposed to be reading off the teleprompter an address about affordable healthcare, but took the opportunity to embark on a bizarre ramble about a nurse he had when he suffered two brain aneurysms in 1988.
Biden started on the path to his ramble by saying, “And, by the way, you docs are good, but if there’s any angels in Heaven, they’re all nurses — male and female. You know why? You guys let us — you guys make us — allow us to live. Nurses make you want to live. I’m not joking.” Usually when Old Joe assures us he is “not joking,” he is lying, but in this case that’s a perfectly reasonable gambit when speaking about healthcare: praise nurses. It’s especially canny of the old campaigner, since although he went out of his way to point out that nurses are both male and female, they’re mostly female, and so he managed to pander to his feminist base by slighting doctors, who are mostly male, and praising the women in the field.
Old Joe continued, “You lie there in the ICU, which I’ve done for a long time, and you look at those machines. And you know, if the line goes flat, that it’s over. But you just get tired. You don’t care.” But then Biden remembered the woman who made him care again. Not “Doctor” Jill, but a nurse: “When I was at Walter Reed all that time, after a couple of craniotomies, I was lying there. And I had a nurse named Pearl Nelson, military. She’d come in and do things that I don’t think you learn in medical scho— in nursing school.” The sympathetic crowd laughed and applauded at that for some reason as Joe plowed on: “She’d whisper in my ear. I didn’t — couldn’t understand her, but she’d whisper, and she’d lean down. She’d actually breathe on me to make sure that I was — there was a connection, a human connection.” Pearl Nelson deserves kudos indeed: after all, who would voluntarily want to breathe on Joe Biden?

We are left envying El Salvador, which has a far saner leader than we have, and which has cut down homicides from 6,600 in 2016 to something less than 500 today. I dunno about us next year, but I do hope that more Latin American countries, which are almost all Leftist run today, emulate the example of El Salvador

Better to breathe on him than have him breathe on me. Shudder, shudder.
I feel sorry for the nurse, Pearl Nelson.
somehistory says
And what or who would get close enough to him to breathe into his nostrils? Nurses say “no way Jose'”

Every time I hear about the further decline of Joe Biden, it saddens me and I realise his wife must be an incredibly strong woman to handle his decline, a lot of people couldn’t.
I hope I have the capacity to finish the job if I ever end up like that.

Either that, or she is the original Giselle Fetterman. The wife of the new Pennsylvania senator who’s on vacation to Canada w/ the kids while hubby is recuperating in hospital

Keith O,
I see a little bit differently.
First and foremost, it’s a terrible thing to see anyone suffering a cognitive decline. I would not wish that on anyone.
That being said, the POTUS has to have knowledge, skills, and abilities to be able to carry out the essential functions of the job.
Fraudulent Joe does not have that capacity – and his wife is aiding and abetting the fraud.
If Joe were just a “regular” Joe citizen, this whole sham would be considered to be elder abuse.

For those who haven’t done a deep dive into Joe’s Neurological history that is available in the public domain, they are unaware that his “weird” story about Pearl, the Walter Reed nurse, was previously documented in Joe’s 2008 book “Promises to Keep.” Joe has some good remote memories often with some embellishments. In the book, he recalled something in 1988 when he was hospitalized at Walter Reed recovering from his FIRST cranial surgery to clip a ruptured cerebral aneurysm which a near fatal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). He was very likely delirious mistaking a nurse “breathing into his nose” with an oxygen mask—“I could feel her mouth over my nose, forcing her own air into my lungs.” In addition, he recalls his neck pain discomfort, “Pearl worked through pillows until she found one that worked. I suspected she got it outside of the regular Army requisitioning process.”
In 2019 before the disaster known as President Biden, I was totally dismayed that Republicans/Conservatives didn’t have professional Neurologists analyze Joe Biden’s mental fitness based on detailed review of the publicly available documented facts about his 1988 near fatal neurological catastrophe. There are known chronic sequelae to a SAH. They ignored his long h/o atrial fibrillation and his risk for embolic strokes. They didn’t read his or Jill’s books dealing with his medical issues. They didn’t critique and rip apart Dr. Kevin O’Connor’s totally unprofessional and incompetent medical evaluations of 2019, 2021 and 2023 which were laughable. The so-called “detailed” neurological exam done by unnamed “Presidential Specialist Consultant” referred to in the 2021 and 2023 summary reports were never documented. Not only was there no cognitive test, there was no brain or spinal cord imaging. Maybe Biden refused to be tested cognitively. In that case, all of his public appearances become the best evidence for his cognitive impairments by default. We don’t have any report of any brain imaging since 1988 when he had his near fatal SAH.
OLD GUY says
I guess we the American people elected him. That makes me question just how good is our educational system is if we saw Joe as the best candidate to run this country. We need a President and legislators who are supporting the working people of this country not the non-producers who want everything for nothing.
