Nearly three dozen House Democrats led by Jimmy Panetta (CA) recently sent a letter to Joe Biden requesting that he give up his unilateral authority to launch the U.S. nuclear arsenal. In the letter, Panetta contends, “Vesting one person with this authority entails risks. Past presidents have threatened to attack other countries with nuclear weapons or exhibited behavior that caused other officials to express concern about the president’s judgment.” Anybody wonder if Biden is cognitively up to the task?
Panetta asserted that his motivation for calling on Biden to give up control of the nation’s nuclear launch codes has everything to do with “checks [and] balances in our nuclear command-and-control structure.” While he makes no mention of Biden’s advanced age and mental acuity, Panetta’s suggestion of requiring both the vice president and speaker of the House to okay any nuclear strike tacitly underscores fears that Biden can’t be trusted with nukes.
Would Panetta be making this same request of Biden if the man were 10 or more years younger?
Just yesterday, Time Magazine published an article titled, “We Need an Operation Warp Speed for Alzheimer’s and Dementia.” Story authors Maria Shriver and George Vradenburg almost humorously observe, “No president has entered the White House with as clear a focus on Alzheimer’s disease as Joe Biden. The commitment and attention on Alzheimer’s at the highest levels of our elected leadership is long overdue.”
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
