Not All There

“American soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division scaled that 1,800-foot cliff at night, caught the Germans by surprise, captured key positions, and broke through the German defense line at a pivotal point in the war.  Just imagine — I mean it sincerely — I say this as a father of a man who won the Bronze Star, the Conspicuous Service Medal, and lost his life in Iraq. Imagine the courage, the daring, and the genuine sacrifice — genuine sacrifice they all made.”

Beau Biden, Joe Biden's son, did indeed win a Bronze Star and Conspicuous Service Medal, but he did not die in Iraq.  He returned from a tour of Iraq in 2009.  Six years later, he died from brain cancer in Bethesda, Maryland.  President Biden does not remember where his son died.

Last month, Joe Biden asked where Jackie Walorski was during a speech.  Of course, she had died in August.  On the day she died, he released a statement that started thus:

Jill and I are shocked and saddened by the death of Congresswoman Jackie Walorski of Indiana along with two members of her staff in a car accident today in Indiana.

Clearly, President Biden isn't all there, but no talk of the 25th Amendment.  In fact, Democrats are trying to get another politician who is not all there to join Joe in Washington.  Jon Fetterman, Lt. Governor of Pennsylvania, is recovering from a stroke and needed a machine to translate for him because he has trouble understanding English at the moment.  Yeah, sounds like someone totally qualified to join the Senate.
