Audio of Biden's interview with Hur exposes Biden's problem

 Newsmax:

The Trump administration, possibly as soon as Saturday, is planning to release the audio of former President Joe Biden’s interview with then-special counsel Robert Hur in the classified documents case, Politico reported Friday.

The Biden administration refused to release the audio of the October 2023 interviews that led Hur not to prosecute, asserting that a jury would find Biden "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

The White House and Democrat leadership excoriated Hur for the remark, accusing the former prosecutor of smearing Biden in a politically motivated attack. However, after Axios obtained and published the audio of the interview on Friday, the outlet reported it’s now clear why the White House under Biden only released the transcript and not the audio.

Amid long and “uncomfortable” pauses in his interviews with Hur from Oct. 8-9, 2023, Biden struggled to remember when his son Beau died, when President Donald Trump was first elected, when he himself left the White House as vice president, and why he had classified documents at his properties, Axios reported.

“The newly released recordings of Biden having trouble recalling such details — while occasionally slurring words and muttering — shed light on why his White House refused to release the recordings last year, as questions mounted about his mental acuity,” Axios reported.
...

I thought it was clear before the release of the audio that Biden had dementia.  Even in settings where he was allowed to speak, he was having problems.  I saw similar things from my Dad's Mother late in life.  I stopped by to see her to introduce her to her first great-grandson, and she was unable to comprehend who he was or who my wife was.  She was no longer the golly and doting grandmother I knew.

We Were Lied To Chris Bedford: “The person being recorded is not capable of making national security decisions. He’s confused… doesn’t know what year it is.” “This is a massive cover-up—and we can see that now.” Merrick Garland’s excuse? A complete lie.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
