Biden’s latest escapade in Austin, Texas, raises more questions than it answers. The president, sporting both a baffling moment of speech and a general lack of awareness, launched an ill-timed tirade against the Supreme Court. One has to wonder if this is a case of a senior moment or just sheer cognitive dissonance, as he doubles down on his intentions to push a reform package that’s about as popular as a root canal. His legislative agenda is practically screaming “dead on arrival,” which seems fitting given the direction of his presidency.
During this strange press interaction, a brave reporter dared to inquire about House Speaker Mike Johnson’s observation that Biden’s Supreme Court reform initiative was, in fact, as lifeless as a doorknob. To this, Biden responded with the eloquence one might expect from a confused elderly relative at a family gathering. He asserted that Johnson was also “dead on arrival.” One can’t help but wonder if Biden was talking about the speaker or referencing his own legislative efforts.

Katie Pavlich, an astute observer of the political scene, underscored the absurdity of Biden’s remarks, labeling the president’s speech as disingenuous and cynical. Those words certainly fit the bill, as Biden’s attempts at reasoning seem to have all the coherence of a broken record. The rhetorical gymnastics on display only serve to highlight his disconnect from reality, leaving even the most ardent supporters scratching their heads.
In the age of social media, it didn’t take long for Andrew Bates to showcase a “threat” made by the president toward Speaker Johnson. The idea that Biden might be flinging around threats, all while promoting a facade of unity and lowering the political temperature, is reminiscent of the theatrical performances of a bad soap opera. One has to wonder when the press would whip itself into a frenzy if the tables were turned, a clear double standard evident in the media’s selective outrage.
With the impending question of when this administration will finally vacate the White House looming over the nation, the absurdity of Biden’s recent comments only magnifies the frustrations of American voters. What’s next? A cozy fireside chat about how much he misses the distilled wisdom of his predecessor? The answer remains unclear, but one thing is certain: the longer Biden stays in office, the higher the stakes for conservatives eager to reclaim their political ground.
