The Mental Decline of Joe Biden

It happens from time to time: You start telling a story, only to lose your train of thought halfway through. Or you walk into a room and cannot remember what you went in there to do. Or the harder you try to remember the name of that kitchen utensil you need to buy, the further its name slips away.  Mental glitches like these happen to everyone and are understandably freaky but aren’t necessarily a sign of cognitive decline. “The feeling of your brain short-circuiting is often more likely due to psychological processes,” says Sarah Garcia-Beaumier, Ph.D., a licensed neuropsychologist and associate professor at Stetson University in Florida. Increases in stress, distractions, multitasking, anxiety or depression (all of which have skyrocketed in the last year) can be big contributors. “A common consideration we have to make clinically is whether cognitive symptoms are due to early dementia, or rather due to a depressive or anxiety disorder,” Garcia-Beaumier says. “This trend has only increased during the pandemic.”

The Difference Between Cognitive Lapses and Cognitive Decline

Cognitive decline is typically a neurodegenerative process where you exhibit a worsening of performance in one or more areas, such as memory, attention, or language. We typically begin showing cognitive aging in our 30s, and some people exhibit more cognitive decline than others their age. Signs often include what we normally experience day to day—forgetting to call someone or losing the word you wanted to say. When those symptoms appear much more than they did previously, so much so that others are starting to notice, “that’s typically an early red flag for cognitive decline beyond what we expect for the normal aging process,” says Garcia-Beaumier. Normal aging will slow down retrieval of memory, for example, and most individuals will have some difficulty remembering names of people, items or places—but these bits of memory come back in 10 to 15 minutes, or sometimes hours later. “These minor glitches in memory aren’t a sign of evolving dementia or cognitive impairment,” says Thomas Hammond, M.D., a neurologist with Baptist Health’s Marcus Neuroscience Institute in Boca Raton, Florida. “Forgetting conversations or important appointments, or feeling lost in familiar places, are more worrisome and concerning for significant early cognitive impairment.” This doesn’t automatically mean you’ll end up with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, though. “In fact, some people who meet the criteria for what we call mild cognitive impairment actually resolve or stabilize, without further decline,” says Garcia-Beaumier. But if your lapses are related to psychological distress—or another underlying health issue—and you allow the stress to go on, she adds, that can put you at a higher risk of dementia.

Obviously, Biden is in a weakened state of health as evidenced by his two back-to-back COVID infections. Prior to his Covid-19 infection, Biden had received both doses of the vaccine and a booster shot. Last week, Anthony Fauci assured us that Biden was quickly recovering from the illness. “The President continues to improve. He’s putting in a full day of work virtually, and as each day goes by, he’s doing fine,” he told CBS Saturday Morning. In case the president is still contagious, his staff is conducting contact tracing to contain any potential spread within the office, a White House official told Fox News. When asked where Biden might have picked up the disease at a recent briefing, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed the question. “Look, I don’t think that matters, right? I think what matters is he prepared for this moment,” Jean-Pierre said on the day his first diagnosis was announced. Biden has appeared at several White House events without a mask since testing negative for Covid-19 on Wednesday, including at a meeting on the economy on Thursday, Fox News noted.

In our analysis, Biden will not be cognitive and healthy enough to complete his first term let alone run for office in 2024.

  1. One department Chance, the Gardner has kept up with is his ability to lie. Don’t confuse that with mental decline. He wears his lies as well as he wears his Covid masks.
    Joe’;s entire political life has been based on lies, starting on his introduction to being a congressional candidate when I was barely out of high school. The sap couldn’t even tell the truth about his ranking in law school.
    He even lied about his first wife’s deadly car accident, only to blame it on a truck driver.
    When one has lied about everything he has ever talked about, why would anyone care about his mental decline? That was already there.

    Besides, the only people I know of who have lied their entire lives, are politicians and sociopaths/psychopaths. The rest end up with all kinds of other guilt associated problems, because they are trying to sort out all their lies and end up as crazy as the psychopaths because of all that guilt. The difference being that the ones who feel all that guilt know their place in the afterlife, and it is hot, and it scares the death out of them.
