It’s been an insane news cycle—Joe Biden unintentionally revealed to the world that the left and the corrupt media have been lying to us for years and that he is actually mentally compromised—a fact that he made clear during one of the most consequential political debates in history, where he basically faceplanted—the former president and now-GOP nominee for president was shot, Biden quit his reelection campaign, and now Kamala Harris is being sold to us by that same corrupt media as the Second Coming despite her long record as a raging leftist.
I will quote Fox News political commentator Brit Hume, who said Wednesday night:
It’s as extraordinary period of news as I can remember; I’ve been in this for well over a half century, [and] in terms of news, this is the most tumultuous period I can think of.
Political junkies therefore tuned in Wednesday night for an Oval Office speech by Joe Biden, who was supposedly going to explain why he abandoned his reelection efforts despite vociferously assuring us for months that there was no chance that he would do so. Would the president deliver moving remarks, would he bring the country together in the way that Ronald Reagan did after the Challenger disaster or George W. Bush did after 9/11? Would he come clean on his health issues, which are so obvious to any sentient American, would he fully reveal his thought process surrounding the monumental decision to give up on his campaign? Would he explain how he’s still capable of running the country for six more months despite the fact that he’s now essentially a lame duck?
No, no, no, and no. He did none of those things. In fact, it was an inexplicable, sleep-inducing monologue that tried to throw in all sorts of high-minded ideals like “Democracy” and “who we are” but essentially said nothing.
RedState’s Bonchie didn’t feel the thrill up the leg:

I cannot imagine who thought this was a good idea or thought it would quiet the questions that so many citizens have about what’s going on and what things look like going forward.
RedState held a lively Live Blog on the whisper-fest; you can see what we had to say here. As we watched, many of us thought that he was going to do the right thing and resign, but that did not happen.

Biden has delivered angry speeches, he’s delivered divisive speeches where he calls half of the electorate enemies of Democracy, he’s dropped remarks that he’s plagiarized from others, but this… this was a nothing speech. He revealed little of consequence, he assuaged no fears, he accomplished zero except perhaps to show that he’s still breathing. I have no idea what the point of it was, and except for shameless cheerleaders like CNN’s Van Jones—who was once again almost in tears, he was so moved—I don’t see how it helps Americans feel better about their security knowing that we have a lame-duck president who doesn’t make much sense. We all know that Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are paying attention.
Speaking of which: was this incursion just a coincidence? Sure doesn’t feel like it, considering it happened on the exact same day as Biden’s tepid “farewell” speech:
