Joe Biden has officially fallen off the radar, conspicuously avoiding the public spotlight for an alarming five days. The last anyone saw of him was a slow and labored exit from Air Force One, a sight that could only be described as reminiscent of a sloth trying to climb a tree. With the president now MIA, conspiracy theories are springing up like weeds in an untended garden.
Representative Lauren Boebert has blown the whistle, demanding “proof of life” before the clock struck five on Monday. That deadline came and went with as much fanfare as a canceled circus—without so much as a whisper from the man in charge. Meanwhile, news broke that a planned meeting between Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu won’t happen. The information came courtesy of the Israeli government, raising eyebrows regarding Biden’s apparent unavailability. If Biden and his administration can’t inform the American people about their own leader’s movements, it leaves one wondering who’s really in charge.
This is the fakest shit I’ve ever seen.
Kamala almost said recording and stopped herself to say call.
This is definitely a recording.

Adding to the drama was Vice President Kamala Harris’s trip to Delaware, which was not, as some may have hoped, a secret mission to find the missing Commander-in-Chief on the beach. Instead, she made her presence felt at a two-hour journey away campaign event, reinforcing the notion that the administration might be a ship navigating rough waters without a captain—or worse, sailing straight into an iceberg.
The timing of Biden’s written announcement to step aside from his campaign raises eyebrows. One has to ask, is he taking a break from the rigors of running for president, or finding a cozy corner to forget how to sign his own name? Questions abound about whether he even penned that “statement” or if a rubber stamp or fancy digital signature was employed instead. And let’s not even get started on the promised live updates that never materialized.
It is beyond absurd that the nation is left asking such dire questions. Is Biden sidelined by some mystifying illness? Has he been struck down by COVID or something else entirely? The responses from Biden’s physician have been less than reassuring, serving as little more than a flimsy blanket over a burgeoning pile of questions. Still, there’s an undeniable urge among the public to see their president, to hear him speak, and to confirm he’s not merely a figure propped up in a political puppet show.
The state of affairs is troubling; as political violence simmers just beneath the surface, the public deserves transparency. If the Democrats continue to keep Biden under wraps, it’s not just a bad reflection on their leadership—it’s a harbinger of what could lead the United States down a disastrous path toward dysfunction. The country teeters on a significant crossroads, one where the leader seems intent on disappearing from the scene instead of stepping up to the plate. It’s time for answers, and the American electorate is growing weary of the smoke and mirrors that have characterized this administration’s approach to governance.
