We’re witnessing one of the most tumultuous periods in U.S. political history. And we’re only in July.
Beginning with Biden’s face-plant debate performance, continuing through the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the nomination of Donald Trump and selection of J.D. Vance as his VP candidate and the Biden announcement that he’s not seeking the nomination, this election season is all the chaos that has been advertised and more.

Until this afternoon, Biden hadn’t been seen since last Wednesday when he was returning from an NAACP event in Las Vegas.
Officially, Biden left Vegas because he tested positive for COVID. By the way, remember when he said you won’t get COVID if you take the jab? Well, Biden’s fully vaxxed and boosted, and this is the third time he’s gotten the virus.
Or did he?
Did Biden Have a Mini-Stroke?
There are reports that Biden underwent some type of medical emergency in Las Vegas, and that the Secret Service instructed the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to clear traffic for Biden’s motorcade so he could go to the hospital.
The Secret Service subsequently gave the LVMPD a stand-down order and the motorcade diverted to the airport instead.
The LVMPD has confirmed the story. What’s unconfirmed is the exact nature of the medical emergency.
Sources close to the incident say Biden suffered a transient ischemic attack (TIA), or a mini-stroke. Biden’s doctor supposedly determined that it wasn’t a full stroke, and that it wasn’t necessary for Biden to go to the Vegas hospital.
Again, that’s an unconfirmed report. But given Biden’s significant cognitive issues, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least. And again, until this afternoon he hadn’t been seen since in public, arriving at Dover Air Force Base late Wednesday.
The “Weekend at Bernie’s” Presidency
You’d think that a president announcing that he wasn’t seeking reelection would have appeared before the American people on live television.
Instead, on Sunday Biden (in reality his handlers) issued a written statement announcing his withdrawal from the race. It wasn’t even written on official White House letterhead, but on Biden’s personal letterhead. His signature also didn’t quite match his known signature.
That’s not proof that it’s not his signature, but under the circumstances it raised more questions about his health.
Biden, supposedly, also issued an executive order yesterday delegating certain governmental functions to the Treasury secretary and the secretary of state. It read, in part:
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 301 of title 3, United States Code, I hereby order as follows:
Section 1. (a) I hereby delegate to the Secretary of the Treasury the functions and authorities vested in the President by sections 104(a)(1) and 104(a)(2)(A) of the Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians Act (Division F of Public Law 118-50) (the “Act”).
(b) I hereby delegate to the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the functions and authorities vested in the President by sections 104(g), 104(i), 105(c), 105(e), and 105(g) of the Act.
Do we know if Biden actually authorized it? Given how little we knew about Biden’s condition over the past several days, the question isn’t as outrageous as it may seem.
