Joe Biden, ostensibly the “president-elect” of the United States, has been out announcing who will fill positions in his would-be administration.

For Secretary of Health and Education Services, I nominate Xavier Bacheria.

This is insane. This is not some guy misspeaking or showing unfamiliarity with a teleprompter; this is a guy totally unmoored from what is going on around him.

There is no “Secretary of Health and Education Services.” It is Health and Human Services. A guy who tells us over and over about his 47 years in office should know better. At one time in the distant past, there was a Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. Perhaps Biden confused the two but, even so, that is a damning indictment of his mental decline.

His nominee is Xavier Becerra, Xavier Bacheria. There is no plausible explanation for this other than he simply forgot the man’s name and decided to sling some, to quote Rush, “Spanish lingo,” knowing that the media would not care.

More to the point, when you watch Biden’s face, a couple of things are quite clear. His left eye is partially closed. This is not a Clint-Eastwood-esque stare; this is some kind of nerve atrophy. Likewise, the left side of his mouth curves up. Neither are natural. Neither was there a couple of years ago. There is something gravely wrong with this man physically in addition to his slide into dementia.

While I don’t think that Joe Biden’s foot fracture has the same root cause as Harry Reid’s busted up face, that is, I don’t think a gay hooker tuned him up as part of some perverted S&M activity, neither do I believe it was caused by a robust bout of naked dog chasing. That is just Joe Biden telling one of his many lies. As Biden is forced to move out of his basement and actually walk around and talk to people, we are going to see him for what he is, that would be a doddering old man in a steep state of physical and cognitive decline. And the stage will be set for what comes next: a Kamala Harris presidency.
