Joe Biden once again showcased a spectacular mix of contradictions and confusion during a recent event, demonstrating vividly that his grasp on reality might be slipping faster than his approval ratings. In a video clip that recently went viral, Biden made statements about the border situation and the involvement of Secret Service agents that left many scratching their heads. The video, actually recorded on January 5 but only now coming to light, featured the President making outlandish claims that would make even seasoned political commentators raise an eyebrow.
Biden kicked things off by insisting that when he entered the White House, border issues mysteriously improved. However, anyone keeping tabs on immigration statistics understands this to be a blatant fabrication. Rather than the supposed decline Biden touted, numbers regarding illegal crossings have skyrocketed since his administration began, an outcome directly linked to his policies that rolled back the effective measures implemented by his predecessor, Donald Trump. The President’s attempt to rewrite history defies logic and showcases a troubling disconnect from actual border realities.
This is a breathtaking lie. Illegal crossings absolutely exploded after he became president. Numbers finally dropped very late in his term after his team implemented policies (near an election) they’d resisted for 3+ years. https://t.co/g5GHCG5W95 pic.twitter.com/ny9eNRM0wX

The most baffling part of Biden’s remarks came when he suggested increasing the number of Secret Service agents at the border. One has to wonder whether this is a case of verbal fumbles or an alarming lack of understanding of who is actually responsible for border security. The Secret Service’s mandate is to protect the President and certain officials, not to patrol the nation’s borders. Such a fundamental misunderstanding might provoke a chuckle if it were not so concerning, illustrating not just a lapse in judgment but a stray thought process that raises questions about his grip on important national issues.
BIDEN: "Let's get something in mind about the border. When I became president, the numbers came way down!"
He also says he "pushed very hard" to "put more Secret Service agents" on the border 🤔 pic.twitter.com/WofMS4OFFQ

As the countdown to his exit from the White House continues, Biden’s gaffes seem to pile up as if they were a badge of honor. Recently, he mentioned that Vice President Kamala Harris could have defeated Trump in a fair election, entirely disregarding the reality of her loss. These kinds of comments reflect a whimsical detachment from the facts that many would argue poses real risks during high-stakes political discussions. It’s as if Biden takes pleasure in conjuring up alternate pasts where everything seems to go his way, despite clear evidence to the contrary.
With only days left in his term, the commentary made by Biden raises significant questions about the state of leadership in the country. Many Americans are left wondering how such an individual managed to lead the nation for years, navigating complex issues with apparent ease, yet frequently stumbling over the basic facts. The relief that the end of this chaotic chapter is near might just be the silver lining amidst the avalanche of absurd remarks and policies that have perplexed conservative America. As Biden prepares to retreat to Delaware, it’s hard not to anticipate the moment when sanity, reason, and a coherent strategy can make a triumphant return to the White House.
