Staff Reports
President Joe Biden’s cognitive state is once again under scrutiny, this time due to his apparent forgetfulness when it comes to important personal details. According to special counsel Robert Hur’s report, Biden couldn’t remember the year his son passed away during an interview. But fear not, dear readers, because “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough is here to defend the president!
Scarborough took to his show to argue that forgetting important dates is simply a sign of a busy and active life. He even brought his own personal anecdotes into the mix, claiming that he and his wife wouldn’t be able to recall the years their own parents died if asked during a deposition. Well, isn’t that just a convenient comparison?

Now, let’s not get it twisted. We’re not talking about some grandparent here; we’re talking about the leader of the free world. Dr. Marc Siegel, a medical expert, raised concerns about Biden’s mental condition, pointing out that these memory lapses and moments of rage could be signs of deteriorating cognitive health. And can you blame him? One moment of confusion from the president could have disastrous consequences.
But instead of addressing these valid concerns, Scarborough chose to divert attention elsewhere, claiming that the Trump administration’s White House was like an “old folks’ home.” Well, sorry to burst your bubble, Joe, but this is about Biden and his ability to lead effectively, not some deflection tactic to point fingers at others.
Frankly, it’s concerning that Biden is a big fan of “Morning Joe” and relies on Scarborough’s opinions to shape his perspective. Shouldn’t the president be getting advice from experts and surrounding himself with people who will challenge his thinking? Maybe then we wouldn’t be in this cognitive decline mess in the first place.
It’s time for Biden and his team to be transparent about his cognitive health. We need more than just reassurances that these are mere “gaffes.” They’re mental lapses, and they have implications for his judgment and decision-making. We’ve seen enough of these incidents to warrant a comprehensive assessment of his mental fitness. After all, the fate of our country rests in the hands of a forgetful president who could easily make a catastrophic mistake.
In conclusion, we should all be concerned about Biden’s cognitive abilities. It’s not just about his forgetfulness, but also his temperament and judgment. We need a leader who is sharp, focused, and capable of making sound decisions. The excuses and deflections won’t cut it anymore. It’s time for the truth, even if some may find it uncomfortable.
