The biggest political scandal of our lifetime is unfolding right before us.
Joe Biden is the current president of the United States. Just a few weeks ago, he was the Democratic nominee for president of the United States.
Then, he took part in a debate with Donald Trump, and he completely collapsed on stage and demonstrated to the entire world that he actually is senile, that there is nothing going on upstairs, that he does not have working synapses, and that the neurons are not firing. That became clear to literally everyone, so much so that the entire Left-wing press, which had been on Biden’s side, decided he had to be replaced as the nominee, but not as the president.
That is the point: The current president of the United States — the most powerful man on planet Earth, by every available description — is effectively dead. That person has been dead for years at this point, and he is clearly dead right now, which means the vice president of the United States, in a typical working scenario, would have a constitutional duty under the 25th Amendment to supplant the president.
Kamala Harris has a constitutional duty today to oust Joe Biden. This man is not functional, which does have ramifications for the United States and for the world. Thank God the Founders built an incredibly durable system in which many of the cogs in the machine can be replaced so the machine continues to function.
But the world is becoming a more dangerous place — not just because Biden was the president, but also because he currently is the president.
Astonishingly, we are all supposed to simply forget he is the president of the United States. Yet he is not alive. He’s spending half of his time sleeping on a beach in Delaware and the other half wandering around into walls in the White House.

On Friday, tape emerged of a public cabinet meeting, the first to be held in quite a while.
Joe Biden was not leading that cabinet meeting. So who was?
Jill Biden.
Jill Biden has been elected by no one. (This sounds like Harris getting the presidential nomination, doesn’t it?)
Jill Biden has no public support to be doing what she is doing right now. She sat at the head of the table and led the cabinet meeting.
This is a person with a doctoral degree in education from a local college who’s never, ever been elected to a political position. All she did was marry Biden some decades ago.
And now, she is the sitting president of the United States.
This is insane. At least Edith Wilson had to pretend that Woodrow Wilson was still standing, even though he was a vegetable. Joe Biden isn’t even pretending.
This is a scandal. Did you elect her? I didn’t elect her. I didn’t vote for Joe Biden, but he’s still the president of the United States, even if he is brain-dead.
The tape of the meeting shows Joe Biden sitting slack-jawed, staring off into the distance at death approaching.
And we’re supposed to pretend this is normal?
The entire media have decided this is not interesting. For them, it is not worth covering because all they care about is maintaining the functioning of the Democratic media machine.
That is all they care about. It doesn’t matter to the media who is the head of it. Slap a new coat of paint on it. Call it Kamala Harris. It doesn’t matter.
The presidency, however, does not work that way. The president has plenary power over, for example, foreign policy. So who exactly is filling the seat right now? Who is the president of the United States?

Over the weekend, Joe Biden gave a speech in which he was supposed to introduce the Prime Minister of India. Right in the middle of speaking, he lost it. He had no idea who he was introducing. None.
This was not some obscure world leader. Prime Minister Modi is the leader of the most populous country on the planet. On the planet.
And Biden couldn’t remember who he was supposed to introduce. He started yelling into the microphone, asking, “Who am I introducing today? Who’s next?”
That is the person who is currently the president of the United States.
How is this not the biggest scandal in modern American history? It’s happening right in front of our eyes. And we’re all supposed to pretend it means nothing.
Why?
The answer is pretty obvious. The reason we are all supposed to pretend that it does not matter that the current President of the United States is non compos mentis is because if we were to notice, the constitutional solution to that is to make Harris the president.
So why doesn’t she step up? Why doesn’t she, along with the Cabinet, declare the 25th Amendment and put herself in Biden’s place?
Two reasons. One: She is afraid that, as a revenge move for being ousted from the presidency, the zombie corpse of Biden would wander the landscape and explain to the American people just how terrible she is. That’s part of it.
But that’s not the real reason.
Two: Harris can only run and win if she is not perceived as part of the Biden administration, if she is perceived as having nothing to do with the policies of this administration.
That’s the dirty secret of this entire campaign.
Harris cannot run on the Biden record. Joe Biden couldn’t even run on the Biden record. His record is trash, which means her record is trash. She can’t run on that record. She has to run as a “change” candidate.
The problem, of course, is that she is not a change.
If you spend one iota of a second thinking about it, you know she’s not a change, but she needs the patina of not being the current president of the United States. She can’t politically remove Biden and put herself at the top of the White House without losing the election because then she would be viewed as obviously responsible for the things that have been done. She wants all of the credit for being vice president and none of the accountability for anything her entire administration has done.
The minute she supplants Biden, the facade falls away, the Potemkin village that is this administration falls away.
And Harris is the person left responsible.
That’s the whole campaign. They have to promote the lie: Joe Biden doesn’t exist. In fact, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris never existed.
It’s a massive scandal. It’s a massive lie.
And they shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it.
