Joe Biden and the Wawa Cannibals—An American Tragedy

by Stephen Kruiser

Seriously, I don’t get how people can look at the Joe Biden who shows up in public these days and say, “Yeah, he’s still got it.”

I know they’re really thinking, “I can’t believe we’re stuck with this drooling imbecile.” They won’t consider voting for anyone else, of course. They’re Democrats — free thinking is programmed out of them at an early age. They end up developing almost superhuman powers of denial after a long enough time.

We’ve discussed Biden’s accelerated decline a lot lately. Now, it seems as if he gets worse with each public appearance. The titular head of the United States of America has had a doozie of a week. If this guy were your neighbor, you’d forever be calling the cops to do wellness checks on him.

Joey Scranton headed back to his hometown and gave a speech that — in classic Biden fashion — had only a tenuous connection to reality. This is from Rick:

On Wednesday, Biden claimed that his uncle Ambrose Finnegan crashed on an island in New Guinea and was eaten by cannibals.

“He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals at the time,” Biden initially told reporters. He was visiting a war memorial in his hometown of Scranton, Pa., that bears his uncle’s name.

“They never recovered his body, but the government went back when I went down there and they checked and found some parts of the plane.”

It’s a good story. Too bad it’s not even close to the truth.

As Rick goes on to detail in the post, the Pentagon’s official version of what happened greatly differs from that of the commander-in-chief.

One of the most galling results of the mainstream media’s dereliction of duty is that every syllable that Donald Trump utters is fact-checked seven or eight thousand times, while Biden is given carte blanche to keep repeating stories that are truth-free garbage. They don’t even call him on his oft-recited lie that his son Beau was a casualty of war. This isn’t merely an elderly man’s confusion about a date or a place; either he’s so addled that he truly doesn’t remember where and how his son died, or he knows he’s deliberately lying.

Neither is a good look for an American president.

Nearly every personal anecdote that Biden shares in public is laden with misstatements of facts or completely devoid of the truth, yet the MSM can’t seem to find the time to report on it.

The most embarrassing Biden moment of the week happened yesterday when his handlers decided to let him off-leash in a convenience store for a photo-op, which Matt wrote about:

Naturally, the Biden campaign had to respond so they sent him to a Wawa in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with Mayor Cherelle Parker. According to a report from CBS News, “Biden ordered a classic-size Italian hoagie with American cheese and a black-white milkshake from the Delaware County-based convenience store that recently celebrated its 60th anniversary.”

Because, you know, he’s a regular guy.

But the stop was another bust. Video from the visit showed that the only fans Biden had at the event were those in the media covering the campaign stop, and what made it even more hilarious is that Biden struggled to close his takeout box before ordering one of this handlers to take the box so he could order a milkshake.

What they were trying to respond to was Trump’s wildly entertaining and successful foray into a Chick-fil-A in a Black neighborhood in Atlanta last week. As Matt notes, the counterstrike was a massive failure. There’s video in his post that shows just how pathetic the trip was. No amount of editing can put lipstick on that pig.

This happened in Philadelphia, mind you. Biden has a lot of living human supporters there, not just mail-in ballots that appear out of the ether in the middle of the night. It’s the bluest of blue cities. The slightest hint that the president of the United States — the one Philadelphia was integral in electing — should have been enough to draw a crowd that overflowed into the next block.

Instead, the place looked like it was closed for repairs.

Biden’s brain cell has already forgotten the incident, of course. His campaign higher-ups will be spending the weekend mainlining Prilosec and wrestling with the reality that Joe-mentum is really no-mentum.

I’ve honestly been surprised that they’re leaning into their belief that the media narrative can prop up Biden and letting him out in public so often. I wouldn’t be surprised if this week hasn’t made them reconsider. We could soon see a reboot of the 2020 basement video strategy, albeit with a more well-appointed basement. Look for a lot more Kamala Harris and DOCTOR Mama Jill on the campaign trail soon.

Not really an upgrade, is it?
