“He is incapable of taking care of the necessities of his own day-to-day life, much less running a country of 330 million, with the largest economy and the most powerful army. So, if he is not running the country, who is? It clearly is not Kamala Harris. She has been shipped to political Siberia. She is rarely seen, and barely heard other than the grating echoes of her cackles. …”Someone behind the scenes is calling the shots. So, if is in not Joe Biden, who is running this country? Who decided to open the borders to millions of illegal immigrants? Who signed off on the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal? Who is bringing in tens of thousands of unvetted, non-ally Afghans into America? Who is printing so much money that we’re on the verge of “hyper-inflation”? Who shut down so many parts of our energy sector that we are no longer energy independent, and are back to relying on OPEC for energy? Who is pushing this divisive racial agenda which is tearing our country apart? Who is labelling concerned parents domestic terrorists? Who has weaponized the FBI against everyday citizens based on their political beliefs? Who? “The person orchestrating all of this owns a mansion in the shadows of the White House. He is a power-hungry narcissist who is only concerned with implementing the far-left’s agenda. His name is Barack Hussein Obama. He lives within walking distance of the White House, and the vast majority of Joe Biden’s staff were in his administration. Who do you think those people are listening to, someone who they think is the next coming of the messiah or a cognitively impaired elderly man who doesn’t know what day it is, and just wants to be left alone to have his ice cream cone?”
“Stephens noted it was "fair game" for reporters to question former President Ronald Reagan's age in the 1980s after he took office at the age of 69 and won reelection in his 70s, but that it had somehow become "horrible manners" to raise similar concerns about Biden, who turned 79 last month.Come off it, Stephens, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who could give Biden a good run for his money in the field of mind-boggling incoherence, is, 81 and running Congress into ruination!

Stephens: ”It won’t do. From some of his public appearances, Biden seems … uneven. Often cogent, but sometimes alarmingly incoherent," he wrote. "What’s the reason? I have no idea. Do his appearances (including the good ones) inspire strong confidence that the president can go the distance in his current term, to say nothing of the next? No.” (Fox News)Good grief, “often cogent”? WHEN?!
“Stephens added that making such an announcement would be "liberating" for Biden, and allow him to be more statesmanlike. (Fox News)“Joe Biden “STATESMAN-LIKE?!
"It would put an end to the endless media speculation. It would inject enthusiasm and interest into a listless Democratic Party. It would let him devote himself wholly to addressing the country’s immediate problems without worrying about reelection," he wrote. "Greatness is often easier to achieve when good policies aren’t encumbered by clever politics. Biden should think on it — and act soon.” (Fox News)HOW?!
“Stephens mentioned a story published by The Times earlier this week that claimed there was "no shortage of chatter" about potential replacement options for Biden within Democratic circles. (Fox News) "This is not healthy. Not for the president himself, not for the office he holds, not for the Democratic Party, not for the country," he added.”That’s politics, Buttercup!
“Stephens wrote that the expectation Biden was going to be a "transition figure" who would eventually lead to a fresher Democratic face felt betrayed, and that things might be different had Biden gotten off to a better start as president.” (Fox News)Could have been. Should have been—but wasn’t!
"The man who once gave his party hope now weighs on his party’s fortunes like a pair of cement shoes," he added, referencing Biden's weak poll numbers and the economic and domestic challenges facing the country. (Fox News) “He also noted Vice President Kamala Harris' poll numbers being worse than any modern vice president, and it would give the party "every reason to panic" if she became the default nominee. "So what’s the president to do? He should announce, much sooner than later, that he will not run for a second term," Stephens wrote, arguing that although it would turn Biden into a lame-duck president, he was currently facing worse prospects. "Right now he’s worse than a lame duck, because potential Democratic successors are prevented from making calls, finding their lanes and appealing for attention," he wrote.(You could have fooled us!)
"It would put an end to the endless media speculation. It would inject enthusiasm and interest into a listless Democratic Party. It would let him devote himself wholly to addressing the country’s immediate problems without worrying about reelection," he wrote. "Greatness is often easier to achieve when good policies aren’t encumbered by clever politics. Biden should think on it — and act soon.” (Fox News)Don’t hold your breath waiting, Mr. Stephens. Meanwhile, patriots won’t hold their breath waiting for the New York Times to go pounding on Barack Obama’s door!
