President Joe Biden’s catch-and-release policies for illegal immigration that caused a historic invasion of the United States was the first scandal of his presidency, but it was his catastrophic withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan that destroyed his public standing and pushed him permanently into disapproval.
These pages noted at the time that Biden’s mental capacity was slipping and that his diminished ability to remember key facts may have cost the lives of many Afghan civilians and 13 American service members.
At a White House press conference days before those 13 soldiers were killed, Biden falsely claimed that al-Qaida had been driven out of Afghanistan entirely, and the White House was forced to retract this nonsense just hours later. Biden also falsely claimed that there was “no indication” that Americans stuck in Kabul “haven’t been able to get” to the airport, a vacuous statement rebutted by news outlets within minutes. The president was clearly losing his grip on reality.
We are now learning that it was not just outside observers such as the Washington Examiner that were worried about Biden drifting off into la la land. The Wall Street Journal has revealed that as early as spring 2021, the start of his presidency, national security officials admitted to each other that Biden “has good days and bad days,” often causing key national security meetings to be canceled.
