In February 1988, Biden suffered two brain aneurysms. 33 years later, even with medication, we may be witnessing the damage done.
A wise reader wrote me, “A note on Joe. A person close to me had two brain aneurysm surgeries. They are in reality not the same mental person as they were before. Understanding the complex is no longer possible leading to frustration and early abandonment of the task at hand . . . Joe is not really a fully functioning unit.”
Everyone in the inner circle knows this. He is being used.
The wise man said, “His permanently altered analytic state is what made him truly attractive to the money men and clinched the deal: Not understanding leads to reliance on others who then do what they please.”

Well, we who didn’t vote for him know that some version of this is true – whether it’s Alzheimer’s, damage from brain aneurysms, or underlying stupidity commingled with greed.

Mr. Sailer has smoked out Biden’s precise aspiration. The car dealer’s son wanted to be Kookie from 77 Sunset Strip.

Yes, this is true of Biden, I think, and is also explanatory of a high % of bad behavior in our own time and indeed in any era.

For those not familiar to Lewis’s writing on the Inner Ring, here’s an excerpt and a link:

When you have an Over-Credentialed Clown World Elite and your Peer-level Adversaries do not… Well what could possibly go wrong? Isn’t fixing bridges and maintaining firewalls something those pesky Dirt People are supposed to do? Someone send them a memo to do their jobs properly!

Oh… and also Open Society ™ — Have any of these geniuses ever thought that one through properly?

(conclusion; RTWT for the reasoning)

It’s far too soon to panic over the potential problems in a military transport scenario. But it’s not too soon to be aware of them. Planners in Beijing and Moscow study our critical infrastructure much more closely than the American public does. And however the fracture in the I-40 bridge developed, they are acutely aware of what could now be achieved by taking down another bridge, or some other critical node in the infrastructure, whether for commercial or military purposes. Slowing us down could in many cases get a job done as effectively as stopping us altogether with a logistics obstacle – especially if a major oil pipeline has been taken down at the same time.

While that rendition may have occurred in the early stages it is, alas, a self-serving legend.
Carter’s insistence on certain parameters almost blew up the Camp David talks.
Begin and Sadat, having succeeded in developing a personal chemistry, agreed between themselves that they would have to negotiate without Carter to reach any mutually agreeable accommodation, which is ultimately what happened.

Carter was thus essentially ignored. His ego sorely bruised—and directing most of his
animus towards Begin—he nonetheless was forced to acquiesce (because “circumstances”) to the Sadat/Begin fait accompli and was reduced ultimately to flashing a wide smile, mouthing mealy platitudes and praising copiously both Sadat and Begin while taking the (fictional) credit for it.

Sadat paid a far higher price.
