It is safe to say that in a normal world, few Americans could experience a worse nightmare than awakening to find Kamala Harris has become our 47th President. However, we are not living in a normal world.
In the wake of Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance with Donald J. Trump in Atlanta late last month, world leaders joined voters in expressing real concerns over the cognitive abilities of the man with access to America’s nuclear codes. Oh, sure, minor things like skyrocketing grocery prices and pain at the pump as we fill up our cars were already on our minds. The fact Biden has additionally abdicated his responsibility for our national security by allowing murderers, mental patients and rapists to stroll across our border to ply their evil acts merely added to our national tensions. But collectively we hoped maybe—just maybe—it was a “bad night” and our Commander in Chief hadn’t really gone crackers on us.
Then came Thursday’s “big boy news conference.”
This week marked the 75th anniversary of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO, which held its summit in DC. The Biden team saw it as an opportunity for the President to pull his re-election campaign out of the nosedive that resulted from his astonishingly bad debate performance and the growing calls for him to step aside. However, the presence of NATO only appeared to magnify the concerns over a weak president fueling greater global instability.
Panicked White House aides came up with the idea for Biden to hold a news conference to answer “unrehearsed” questions from reporters, using leaders of our NATO allies as props for a photo-op which would ease fears about the President’s grasp on reality. It did not go well.
First, lackeys like press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and even National Security Council spokesman John Kirby kept using the bizarre term “big boy news conference” in briefings leading up to the event. Then Biden himself rolled out weird malaprops like introducing Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin.” Or referring to his confidence in “Vice President Trump,” prompting comically restrained on-camera grimaces by his advisors including Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. Or Biden simply freezing at one point and saying “I beg your pardon?” as he stared into space…almost as if someone speaking to him via an earpiece had distracted Joe.
The “big boy news conference” had barely wrapped up when three more Democrats in Congress issued statements calling on Joe Biden to abandon his hapless campaign for President…no doubt worried that his blunders and meanderings would drag their own re-election campaigns down this November.
Let’s face it: this is dangerously bigger than just politics. The stakes for America—and the world—are too critical to let Biden’s ego or his wife (but I repeat myself) let this high-wire act continue to play out, while the new Axis of Chaos and Evil led by China, Iran, Russia, North Korea and Cuba continue marshalling their forces against the United States.
On the newest edition of the Salem Media Group program THIS WEEK ON THE HILL, Speaker of the U.S. House Mike Johnson tells host Tony Perkins that he supports a resolution by Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) calling on Vice President Kamala Harris to use her Constitutional authority to begin a conversation with Biden cabinet members about invoking the 25th Amendment and removing Joe Biden from office. Immediately.
“We’re in uncharted waters as a nation,” Johnson contends. “This is an alarming situation.” Noting that he had private meetings with many NATO leaders during the week, Johnson says they privately expressed genuine concerns for the impact Biden’s obvious cognitive decline could have on world peace.
Prime Ministers from several nations told Johnson that if America projects weakness on the world stage, it adversely reverberates across the oceans and jeopardizes the stability of the entire globe because America is the leader of the free world.
“What we’re seeing out of the White House right now is of great concern,” according to Johnson. “This is not about Joe Biden or his personal life or his interests or his family…this is about the actual security of America and 300-million Americans, as well as by extension the stability of the entire world.”
Johnson concedes that at the end of the day, Congress has no role in invoking the 25th Amendment; that authority rests solely with the Vice President and a majority of cabinet members who would need to remove Biden based on his incapacity and decline. However, the Speaker and other Republicans feel sadly compelled to communicate the will of Congress to Kamala Harris.
Elevating this particular Vice President to the Oval Office roughly 100 days before the November election would be a scary, next-level definition of the “uncharted waters” Mike Johnson cites on THIS WEEK ON THE HILL.
But with Donald Trump heading to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this week and seemingly on a glide path to another term as our President, it speaks volumes that members of the GOP-led House are urging that the safety of our globe supersedes the ego of Joe Biden and his irresponsible handlers.
