(RepublicanWire.org) – Numerous polls show the majority of Americans are concerned about the decline of President Biden’s mental acuity and health.

If there is any lingering doubt, Biden appears to have forgotten the truth about what happened to his late son Beau Biden.

During a trip to Japan, Biden falsely claimed that his son died in Iraq during the war. In reality, Beau passed away at a hospital in Maryland due to brain cancer.

“My son was a major in the U.S. Army. We lost him in Iraq,” Biden said.

Biden spread the lie while speaking to U.S. Marines at the Marine Corps Air Station in Iwakuni, Japan.

Beau Biden was in the U.S. Army and briefly stationed in Iraq for roughly one year between 2008 and 2009.

However, Beau didn’t pass away until six years later at age 46.

“How could he possibly forget that his son died in the United States and not on the battlefields of Iraq?” one person asked.

On May 30, 2015, Beau died at Walter Reed Military Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland.

While Beau’s service and sacrifices as part of the U.S. military should undoubtedly be recognized and appreciated by all Americans, it’s patently false for President Biden to promote the claim that Beau was “lost in Iraq.”

The more obvious explanation for Biden’s gaffe is that he’s either lying or his cognitive decline has worsened.

“If Biden genuinely cannot remember where this rather pivotal moment in his life took place, that should be very worrying to the American people, as it brings his ability to do his job in serious doubt,” political commentator Peter Partoll said.

Recent polls have shown that a majority of Americans have concerns about President Biden’s mental health. A Washington Post-ABC News poll conducted in May 2023 found that 62% of Americans believe that Biden’s mental fitness is a real concern about his ability to be president.

This is up from 54% in March 2022 and 40% in May 2020.

The poll also found that a majority of Americans (54%) believe that Biden is not in good enough physical health to serve as president. This is up from 46% in March 2022 and 33% in May 2020. These polls suggest that a majority of Americans are concerned about Biden’s mental and physical health.

Despite this serious concern, Biden’s doctor has somehow declared him to be “healthy, vigorous, and fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency.” Many people have questioned the doctor’s assessment.

Ultimately, Biden has remained in office until there is action on the part of Congress or if the American people decide he’s unfit for office during the next election cycle.

President Donald Trump wanted National Guard troops in Washington to protect his supporters at a Jan. 6 rally that ended with them attacking the U.S. Capitol, leaving five dead, Trump’s former Pentagon chief testified on Wednesday.

Former Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller told a House of Representatives panel that he spoke with Trump on Jan. 3, three days before the now-former president’s fiery speech that preceded the violence and led to his second impeachment.

According to Miller’s testimony, Trump asked during that meeting whether the District of Columbia’s mayor had requested National Guard troops for Jan. 6, the day Congress was to ratify Joe Biden’s presidential election victory.

Trump told Miller to “fill” the request, the former defense secretary testified. Miller said Trump told him: “Do whatever is necessary to protect demonstrators that were executing their constitutionally protected rights.”

House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) presides during a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing titled “The Capitol Insurrection: Unexplained Delays and Unanswered Questions,” regarding the onMiller made the remarks during a contentious hearing held by the House Oversight Committee, which is investigating security failures in the days leading to and during the riot.

Representative Carolyn Maloney, the Democrat who chairs the committee, demanded answers from Miller on why National Guard troops did not arrive until hours after the building was Miller testified that the U.S. military was deliberately restrained that day when Trump’s rally turned into an assault by hundreds of his followers that left five dead, including a Capitol Police officer.

Miller testified that he was concerned in the days before Jan. 6 that sending National Guard troops to Washington would fan fears of a military coup or that Trump advisers were advocating martial law.

If Pelosi was really that concerned about protecting the Capital, wouldn’t she have accepted Trump’s request for additional troops, who’s fault is it now Nancy?
