To the editor:

Last night (Oct. 21) Biden held a “town hall”, more appropriately called an awkwardly staged event aided by the CNN representative. It would be interesting to have him answer real questions in a real town hall hosted by NewsMax or Fox. Just watching the highlights posted online makes it clear that the “leader of the free world” needs to be in an assisted living environment. When President Trump was in office the press was often quoted as saying he needed to be tested for mental competency. The performance by Biden last night should have had headlines screaming the same thing.

For instance, his comments on why gas prices have skyrocketed in the last nine months. His plan for gutting the energy industry is right in line with the disaster of the Afghanistan surrender. Right now we are no where near the point where green energy is capable of sustaining even a fraction of our needs. This is not the time to shut down the fossil fuel industry.

His border plan or rather lack of one is laughable at best. He made the comment that he is too busy. Someone should fact check this with his daily schedule. Right now there are 20,000 steel panels ready to be put in place to plug the massive holes in the border wall. Mind you, these have been paid for by us-Republicans, Democrats and all the rest who pay taxes.

Trickle down-he seems to have succeeded in promoting folks who have no clue as to what their jobs entail:

1. Secretary of state, gets eaten alive by China even while on our own soil

2. Attorney General claims he has not heard of the sexual assault by a transgender male in the restroom of the Virginia school that in turn prompted; him to dispatch the FBI to investigate parents attending school board meetings.

3. Director of Homeland Security for the longest time said “The border is closed”.

4. Press secretary, daily trying to prop up the Big Guy. Two of the most newsworthy: When the last surge of illegals stormed the border she said they did not need to be tested for the Chinese Virus because they will not be staying very long. Just this week regarding the covert transport of illegals b;y airplanes to unnamed sites in the middle of the night, “those are early flights.”
