The current White House resident has once again shown his incompetence and confusion.
Joe Biden hosted a reception for Greek Independence Day in the East Room on Thursday. It wasn’t clear why Greek Independence Day was worthy of a White House event, nor what the president had to say.
Biden performed his Forrest Gump-style routine, where he tried to fit himself into all aspects of culture. Just two days before this speech, President Obama repeated the tall tale that he was raised by Puerto Ricans. Biden made similar claims about the Jewish and Black Communities. He will use almost any ethnicity in some way.

What the president means by that is unclear. Is he referring to the 2020 election? Did Americans of Greek descent vote for him overwhelmingly in the 2020 elections? Although I could not find any data to support or refute his claim, most likely is just another mindless ploy by a man who wants to change his fortunes before November.
This speech also gave a glimpse behind the curtain when Biden began talking to his teleprompter man after another brain-break.

I have been following politics for many years, and I never saw a president order the teleprompter operator back to the original script. It’s not surprising that Biden was showing signs of mental decline as he continued to speak.

You know that things are going to get weird when he “leans in” towards the microphone. Can you call this weird, given the prevalence of senility? It’s normal for Biden. That’s why it is so alarming.
It wouldn’t have been a Biden address without him repeating an old lie that he has worn out like a catcher’s glove. He chose to repeat an old lie: that he had traveled “17,000 miles” with Xi Jinping, and stood on the Tibetan plateau with him.

This claim has been debunked many times. The president has told the story many times, even though it is not true. The president has repeated the story so many times, that The Washington Post could no longer ignore it and corrected it.
White House officials acknowledged that Biden’s claim of “traveling” with Xi was not accurate. He said that the term “traveling with” Xi was meant to refer to all the travel, both domestically in the U.S.A. and China as well as internationally for the meetings they held. “Some travel took place in parallel and some separately, to the same destination.”
We tried everything we could to get the total to be 17,000 miles, but it was not possible.
But, there’s no harm in doing nothing. There are no consequences when there is no motivation to stop. Biden will continue to put on these absurd performances until the voters force him from office.
