THE BIDEN OF OUR TIMES

 

                                       BY BILL JUNEAU 

                                                                 The aged and broken mind of President Joe Biden  has been laid bare for all Americans to see.  But then, it is not the first time that Biden's brain waves, or lack thereof, have been displayed, and very likely it will not be the last.

                      

                         After five hours of interviews by Robert Hur,  a special counsel who investigated President Biden's alleged criminal mishandling of classified documents by leaving them scattered about in his dirty, oily garage in Delaware, Hur concluded that Biden had indeed broken criminal laws and was a candidate for  prosecution, notwithstanding any controversy over whether a sitting President can be indicted and tried for an offense.

                                  However, the investigating Hur found that the 81-year-old Biden, the nation's 46th President, was a  pathetic, "elderly and forgetful" man who lacked the poise and brain power to defend himself in a formal trial.  Consequently, he was given a pass from prosecution. 

                                 No question but that it is sad and depressing for trusting citizens to be informed by an unassailable source that their President, "Good Old Uncle Joe,"  is actually a moron. 

                                 Those that have watched him stumbling and bumbling on television in interviews; and have seen him fall on steps and wander aimlessly on a stage looking for an exit, are wondering why it took so long for a publicized  assessment of his acuity, and how this mindless shell, who used Covid as an excuse to hide in the basement of his Delaware home instead of  campaigning, was ever elected to the office of United States President.    

                                 Millions of Americans believe that the 2020 election was "stolen" with the help of the FBI and its director Christopher Wray, who concealed evidence of Biden's bribe taking and corrupt practices; and by virtue of an unmonitored mail-in ballot program; and the counting of tens of thousands of ballots for Biden when the paper ballots were blank except for a single mark for a candidate; and that candidate was Joe Biden.  

                                   Forty-five other men have served as President of the United States over the past 250 years, and now, for the first time, a card-carrying liar and a corrupt airhead was  elected and given access to  the Oval Office of the White House;  and to the keys and buttons which could trigger nuclear aggression. 

                                  Joe Biden is 81 years old.  For 36 years he was an elected U.S. Senator from Delaware and in 2008 he signed on as Barack Obama's Vice president.  In 2021, he was sworn in as the nation's 46th President.  His plan, he has said, is to run for a second term as President in November, 2024, against Republican Donald Trump, Biden's predecessor as President. 

                                   No one knows what Biden's IQ is, although he has boasted that it is high. Former classmates of his at Syracuse Law school where he finished close to last in his class, reportedly have described him as the "dumbest S.O.B in the school." Some say that he has never taken a standardized IQ test.  President Trump has called Biden a "Whacko with a low IQ," and the notorious and disliked North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un, has called Biden a "low IQ idiot."     

                                   Navy Admiral Ronny Jackson, now a Texas congressman, served as the White House doctor to Presidents Bush, Obama and Trump; and he was in a position to observe the  goings and comings of Joe Biden in his conduct as a senator, and a vice president; and now as the nation's 46th President seeking reelection in 2024. 

                                         Said Rep. Jackson:  "President Biden is  totally incompetent and does not know what he is doing.....and is dangerous."  Others, he has said,  pull his strings from behind a curtain, and Biden uses crib notes and a teleprompter at press conferences. It has become  obvious to many press conference observers that Democratic party-controlled newsmen  do the bidding of their party and  shield him from the tough questions.

                                        After joining congress, in 2020, Dr. Jackson authored a letter to Biden requesting that he take a "cognitive" examination which would provide insight as to his acuity and ability to function as President.  Biden has never answered the letter which was cosigned by more than a dozen congressmen.  Newsmen have consistently declined to ask him about the letter. 

                                        After President Trump was elected in 2016, reporters demanded that he take a cognitive test.  He complied, and made a prefect score. 

                                        Victor Davis Hanson is a military historian and a retired professor, widely known and highly respected on all sides of the political spectrum, who has been writing political commentary for many years for major publications.   In interviews, he has provided the following assessment of Biden's acuity: 

                                         "Joe Biden is tragically suffering a mental eclipse and is sliding away at a geometric rate. Understandably, his handlers have kept him out of sight whenever possible. Often, Biden cannot finish a sentence. Names are vague eddies in his mind’s river of forgetfulness."   

                                            We can look back, said Hanson,  at  his plagiarism of a speech in 1987 which forced him to withdraw as a presidential candidate;  and at the racism of Biden’s riffs about a “clean” and well-spoken Obama; and his unforgettable and foolish "Corn Pop" stories.  Those are the trademarks of Joe Biden, who in past years was at least alert when compared with his "current catalepsy." 

                                         Dr. Hanson noted that if Donald Trump can be at times  ungrammatical, Biden is A-grammatical.  "He  simply streams together half-thoughts without syntax and then abandons the sentence entirely."                                                                                                                                                        President Biden has been around Washington for about 55 years.  His IQ has always been an issue, and he has been called the "Lamborghini of Gaffes," by the far left Washington Post. He will turn 82 next November, insisting that he has earned a second term. Pollsters are saying that if the race of Trump v Biden was held today, Biden would be defeated by a heavy number.                     

                                                  Some insiders believe that Biden will never be a candidate in 2024, because even Democrats recognize that he is mentally deficient. Some are predicting that he will be removed beforehand from the office of  President via the 25th Amendment, and that Vice President Kamala Harris will take his place; and that she will name a vice president who will then be maneuvered into becoming the Democratic candidate for President, running against former President Trump. 

                                               A  campaign for President by Kamala Harris, who has been largely invisible during a time when a strong vice president was sadly needed, is strongly resisted by Democrats  who consider her dumb, unlikeable and unpopular.

DEFAMATION NONSENSE AND E. JEAN CARROLL

 

                                      BY BILL JUNEAU

                        Behind every anti-Trump story, there appears to be the political fingers of Democrats, with the customary clapping  from the media. This extraordinarily, suspicious story line involves Ms. E. Jean Carroll, a journalist and author, who sued the former President for  rape and for defamation of character and won  judgments totaling $88.3 million dollars. 

                       The ex-President says it is all part of the continuing witch hunt against him.  Many lawyers are predicting that the nonsense of the case and the lame partisan rulings from the bench will never withstand the scrutiny of an honest appellate court. So what's it all about?

                       Ms. E. Jean Carroll's main forte in life was dispensing advice to love-torn women via her column, "Ask E. Jean"  in the "Elle" magazine. She provided her wisdom to unhappy and struggling women for some 26 years before retiring in 2020. 

                      Somewhere around late 1995 or early 1996, Carroll isn't sure, she tells of bumping into real estate mogul Donald Trump inside the fashionable Bergdorf Goodman department store across the street from Trump Towers on Fifth avenue in Manhattan.  She related her story in a written article and in her book, 'What do we need men for: A Modest Proposal" published in 2019; and later in testimony in a federal court in New York.  

                        Carroll has said that they hit it off on a friendly note, and chatted over Trump's desire to find a nice gift for a lady friend.  E.Jean, is now 80, but then was in her 50s. She has noted that she was a couple of years older than the "handsome," wealthy, and well known real estate pro. He asked her "advice" for an appropriate  gift, and she agreed to help. They talked of possible gifts, and E Jean admits to being a bit flirty as they made small talk and discussed the airy possibility of Trump's purchase of a "lace bodysuit."  

                          With laughs about who will try on a bodysuit, they made their way to the lingerie department and into a dressing room  where customers try on clothes. Carroll has said that they ribbed  each other about who would actually try on the bodysuit.   

                        The next moment, Carroll said, Trump did an about face.  Still wearing his business attire composed of a shirt, tie, and jacket, under an overcoat, she said, he opened the overcoat, unzipped his pants, pulled down her underclothing,  and forced his fingers around her private area....and "thrusts his penis halfway or completely, I’m not certain — inside me."  The whole episode lasts no more than three minutes...."

                              She has written:  " I am wearing a pair of sturdy black patent-leather four-inch Barneys high heels, which puts my height around six-one, and I try to stomp his foot. I try to push him off with my one free hand — for some reason, I keep holding my purse with the other — and I finally get a knee up high enough to push him out and off and I turn, open the door, and run out of the dressing room onto fifth avenue."  The busy store was practically empty at the time, she recalled. 

                            She did not report the attack to police, and subsequently was told there were no cameras which could verify her story. Big stores in Manhattan generally have cameras all around but Carroll said she was told there were none there.  Unlike President Clinton's situation in past years, Carroll had no "blue dress" which would confirm her story.  She kept the attack secret for 22 years, but has said that she did share the story with two close friends.  One told her to inform authorities of the attack, and the other advised her that making a police report would invite unnecessary problems.  At her trial, her two friends testified and said, yes, they remember Carroll telling them of Trump's attack more than two decades ago.    

                           Carroll's book actually revealed tales about a score of unsavory and unlikeable men she has known through the years.   The President, she said,  was not the only man who had gone after her sexually.  In fact, E. Jean told of other men, who had  sexually made a move on her. One. she identified as Leslie Moonves, former CEO of CBS Television.  She announced in her writings that  Moonves had accosted her "in an elevator," after she had interviewed him for a story and began kissing her and attempted to force his tongue into her mouth.   

                                  Moonves vehemently denied the allegation and the story of his attack ran out of steam in short order. The allegation and denial  prompted speculation of a settlement by Moonves to make the story go away. 

                                When Donald Trump learned of the story and the allegations against him, he was the nation's 45th President.  From the White House, he exploded with loud public denials, and said he had never met the "Elle" columnist and that the story was fiction and that "E. Jean" was pursuing a big pay day.  She is a "liar" and a "whack job," said Trump. It is just more of the same old political witch hunt;  along with efforts to sell her book. 

                                  In the face of Trump's denunciations of Carroll who hid her "story" for almost a quarter of a century, Carroll reportedly consulted a well-known Trump-hating New York lawyer who recommended that she sue the President for the assault and for defamation for calling her a "liar and a whack job." It was a "smoking hot" story about the menacing Donald Trump and New York has the citizenry and judges and politicians eager to endorse  that type of lawsuit. 

                                   The Donald Trump advance on an innocent woman, a former Miss Indiana university in the 1960s,  was filed as a civil suit seeking monetary damages  and it went to trial in Federal District court in spring of 2023.  A  New York jury heard Carroll's story of the attack, but the President declined to testify, and E. Jean was victorious. The jury assigned damages for defamation and sexual abuse at $5 million.   

                                    Yes, Trump had abused E. Jean sexually in that tiny room, the jury found, and never even took off his heavy overcoat or suit coat. Trump's alleged humping and pumping,  and E. Jean's muffled cries in the busy. fifth avenue store never drew notice, asserts Carroll.  The New York jury was chosen in a city where Trump detractors dominate in overwhelming numbers.  Citizens in the Big Apple will never forget how the anointed Hillary Clinton, known to Trump as "Crooked Hillary," went down in defeat in the 2016 presidential election. It was a "get Trump" yarn which New Yorkers loved, and a new chance to put Trump down and get even on behalf of Democrats.   

                                    There has been a good deal of criticism of the jury's finding of defamation in light of Trump's right to speak out and  criticize the plaintiff with First Amendment protection. Many aspects of E. Jean's allegations are questionable and are part of the President's pending appeal to a higher court.                                                                                                                             Following the jury verdict in the first civil litigation, the 80-year-old Carroll was a guest at CNN and she told how the President had raped her and then defamed her.                                                                                                                                                          In response, Trump again tore into E.Jean calling her a "liar" and and a "whack job" out to sell her book.  In response to the President's upbraiding Carroll again, anti-Trump legal experts persuaded her to file a second complaint  for defamation seeking actual and punitive damages. 

                         Trump then countersued E. Jean for defamation against him noting that she had lied on CNN claiming that she had been raped when the jury declined to make that finding.   She had maliciously defamed him and knew she was lying, Trump charged.  

                                   The second case was tried before a New York jury and was presided over by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan who was  appointed to federal bench in 1994 by President Clinton after recommendation by Democratic New York Senator Patrick Moynihan. 

                                  The jury, relying upon challenged rulings of the judge concerning defamation law, awarded plaintiff Carroll $16 million for actual damages to her reputation and $65 million in punitive damages.  With the earlier judgment against him, Trump became indebted to Carroll for a total of $88.3 million. Trump's countersuit for defamation was thrown out by Judge Kaplan who declared it to be a tactic for delay, according to news reports.                                                                                                                           Trump is appealing both jury decisions to higher courts and is confident that the judgments will be overruled.   

                                    Trump and his lawyers maintain that the President has a right of free speech in accord with the First Amendment.  Words alone and name calling do  not constitute defamation, and plaintiff Carroll never suffered any loss of income or humiliations as a result of calling her a "liar" looking for money. Her "actual" damages as a result of the so-called defamation,  are nothing,  according to attorneys for Trump.

                           The findings that Trump assaulted Carroll who he had never known, are not based upon provable evidence. The punitive award is grossly excessive and is a political judgment  designed to weaken him and prevent him from running for another term of President in 2024.
