It\u2019s not pretty, but it can\u2019t be ignored. Those of us here on the reality-based side of the aisle are duty-bound to acknowledge when things are amiss.<\/p>\n<p>The first story involves Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, who it often seems has been in the Senate since Andrew Jackson was president. Actually, she has been in office since winning a special election in 1992.<\/p>\n<p>It would appear that the senior \u2014 no pun intended \u2014 senator from the Golden State is not quite as sharp as she used to be,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pjmedia.com\/news-and-politics\/robert-spencer\/2022\/04\/14\/dianne-feinstein-is-a-lot-older-than-you-think-and-its-starting-to-show-n1589944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">which Robert wrote about yesterday<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hunter Biden is just the tip of the iceberg: it\u2019s lucrative to be a politician today, even if your father isn\u2019t playing the role of president of the United States. There are innumerable ways in which our elected representatives can grow rich while doing the bidding of some powerful group, all perfectly legal: astronomical advances for books that hardly anyone will read, similarly inflated speaking fees, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>What was once known as the public service has become so remunerative that it\u2019s no wonder that politicians are clutching to power as they never have before in American history. Washington is now top-heavy with the Geritol set, and it doesn\u2019t look as if that\u2019s going to change anytime soon. But the talk around the nation\u2019s capital Thursday is that Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Beijing) is in the throes of a cognitive decline so severe as to make Old Joe Biden look as sharp as a tack, and that\u2019s no malarkey, Jack.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<em>San Francisco Chronicle<\/em>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/politics\/article\/dianne-feinstein-senate-17079487.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a>\u00a0Thursday: \u201cWhen a California Democrat in Congress recently engaged in an extended conversation with Sen. Dianne Feinstein, they prepared for a rigorous policy discussion like those they\u2019d had with her many times over the last 15 years.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the lawmaker said, they had to reintroduce themselves to Feinstein multiple times during an interaction that lasted several hours.\u201d Dagnabbit,\u00a0<em>Chron<\/em>, \u201cthey\u201d refers to a group, not to an individual, but nowadays when\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pjmedia.com\/culture\/robert-spencer\/2022\/04\/14\/two-women-are-pregnant-in-an-all-female-prison-how-could-this-have-happened-n1589891\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">women can get other women pregnant<\/a>, grammar is the least of our worries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Robert then goes on to brilliantly provide a variety of reference points to give the reader a sense of just how old Sen. Feinstein is. It\u2019s not mean, it\u2019s factual. I have long advocated for the repeal of the 17th Amendment. The Founding Fathers never intended for senators to be able to linger in Washington with multiple six-year terms, acquiring power that rulers of lesser countries might only dream of.<\/p>\n<p>More troublesome is the ongoing saga of decline that we are witnessing in the man who currently occupies the Oval Office.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pjmedia.com\/news-and-politics\/matt-margolis\/2022\/04\/14\/watch-confused-joe-biden-appears-to-shake-hands-with-thin-air-and-its-kind-of-terrifying-n1590003\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matt covered the latest episode<\/a>\u00a0in this national torture tale:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Joe Biden has had his fair share of Joe Biden Moments. Slurred words, confusing people, not knowing where he is. Yet, his senility repertoire seems to be expanding as of late, and on Thursday, seeing people who aren\u2019t there appeared to be his latest trick. After giving a speech in which he again tried to blame inflation on Vladimir Putin, Biden turned and appeared to shake hands with thin air, before wandering around confused.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019m not engaged in some gleeful pile-on here. This is rough stuff. I\u2019m not the youngest guy on the block, I don\u2019t want to end up like this. One of the ways I try to keep my mind sharp is by making sure that I\u2019m not a Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t cruel to point out what we are all seeing whenever Biden\u2019s handlers let him go in front of cameras \u2014 it\u2019s a legitimate concern. He is, after all, still the most powerful man on Earth. While we\u2019re all on edge worrying about a renewal of nuclear tensions with Russia, having a president who rarely knows where he is might be a cause for worry.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re blessed to live in a time when people can have much longer, and more productive, lives. Unfortunately, some people still hit the age wall and need to have the keys to the car taken away.<\/p>\n<p>Or the nuclear launch codes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Many Senile Democrats Does It Take To Ruin a Country?
