Other articles posted here noted that he has sleep apnea but didn't explain the possible dementia connection. The information in this article suggests that he has Alzheimer's.

I see no sign he's going to call off his reelection campaign - contrary to what so many people are saying. He just made a campaign speech yesterday. We might think he will be almost incapable of campaigning a year from now. But he'll keep getting confused on a daily basis and it will generally be ignored. If he's well ahead of Trump he'll likely decline to debate. If he does debate he'll say some weird, confused things like "God save the queen" and the usual incoherent garbled things. The media will say "This is what he meant", or just ignore it and say how sharp he was like The Emperor's New Clothes.

I agree. There's no reason he can't run a "basement campaign" as in 2020. Covid will no longer be an excuse, but it won't matter.

Biden's just a warm body to occupy the office. It's his handlers that will be up for re-election. And Democratic voters prefer Biden's secret handlers to any Republican.

That's because untreated sleep apnea leads to intermittent oxygen deprivation in the brain, causing certain brain cells to die. Those brain cells are among the same cells "that we know die in dementia," according to Australian neuroscientist Elizabeth Coulson. As a result, Coulson and her coauthors found in a recent study, untreated sleep apnea can lead to increased risk of dementia.

I'd say most of his brain cells have died.

Not only does he have sleep apnea and dementia, but surgeons took out half his brain in 1988 and no one noticed!

It's unclear how exactly Biden has treated his sleep apnea for the last 15 years.

We don't have his chart. But you would think his wife would be more proactive in his treatment due to constant snoring. Or they may not be sleeping together.

“And Democratic voters prefer Biden’s secret handlers to any Republican. “


I find it hard to believe (well, maybe not that hard to believe) that Biden’s secret handlers have managed to remain secret for so long.

Now it's "sleep apnea"? LOL!

Any follow-up on the "root canal" Biden had last week?

I found out I had “significant” sleep apnea a couple of years ago. No idea. Tried the CPAP with two different masks and just couldn’t sleep more than an hour at a time the whole 90 days. Went with a dental device instead. I don’t like it, but I sleep better and The Colonel’s Wife says I don’t snore nearly as much. I guess Biden could have been using a dental device for the last 15 years, but I kinda doubt it...

Angelino ,I think you’re right as far as it goes. The rat base prefers the handlers to any Republican. But the polls are clear that a majority do not want him as the nominee. If RFK, Newsom, or someone else decided to buck the party establishment and come on out and talk about his self-evident cognitive decline, I think that candidate could successfully primary
him. That’s a high risk gambit to be prepared to buck the party establishment’s blowback, but all could be won on that one roll of the dice. It’s amazing that the press has so successfully suppressed discussion of the elephant in the room

Well they do a good job of hiding themselves. Even dress up as the Easter Bunny😂.

It's curious, isn't it. Everyone knows that Biden isn't in charge. But nobody knows who is. Obama? Ron Klain? Jill Biden?

I suspect that no one person is in charge. It's an oligarchic hive mind. Garland runs his fiefdom at Justice, answerable to no one. Likewise the CIA, Pentagon, Treasury, State are all doing their own thing.

Everyone's sort of on the same page, going in kinda the same direction (empire, DEI, globohomo). But there's also a lack of coordination, with occasional jurisdictional clashes and head butts.

I don't think this nation, its financial system, or its ruling elite, can survive a serious war or crisis.

I have had untreated SA for years and snoring was not one of my symptoms. I just had trouble falling asleep and thought I needed to pee 5 times per night. We blamed it on an enlarged prostate, when I finally got proper treatment I found that I slept through the night. Lungs and heart are weak as a result and I had two brain bleeds. SA is very dangerous — and not noticed by MDs until recently when they had good treatments . Mine requires a ventilator. CPAP is not high enough pressure.

biden has also been in permanent atrial fibrillation for decades, a condition in which the cardiac atria quiver instead of beat and the ventricles beat with an irregular pattern ... atrial fibrillation causes the loss of about 20% of the cardiac pumping power and, if not surgically fixed, requires a lifetime of anti-coagulation medication ... AND permanent atrial fibrillation ALSO has a correlation with dementia ... [best to get your afib fixed, folks]
