President Biden is unquestionably unfit to run this country. Anyone who watched the debate in June knows this to be a fact. Many of us knew it for years, but many others were simply not paying attention and had no idea Biden was so mentally and physically frail.

The Biden administration, including Kamala Harris, other Democrats, and the mainstream news media repeatedly denied allegations that Biden was anything less than "as sharp as a tack" even though they knew otherwise.

But then came the disastrous debate performance against Republican nominee President Trump and suddenly everyone saw it for themselves. The senile cat was out of the bag. He fumfered, dithered, muttered, misstated facts, and quite literally looked like the proverbial deer in the headlights.

One of the best lines of the night was when Biden proudly said, "We beat Medicare!" and Trump responded, "You sure did. You beat it to death!"

Instantly panic ensued throughout the Democrat Party.

Democratic lawmakers and donors put pressure on the 81-year-old president to get out of the race amid concern his mental fitness would destroy the party's chances of holding onto the White House and Senate, as well as reclaiming the House of Representatives in November.

But Biden resisted the pressure, stubbornly saying he was in it all the way and no one could convince him to quit except the "Lord Almighty." Well, the Lord Almighty came in the form of Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Chuck Schumer and all of a sudden, BAM, he was out of it. Just like that. Another one of the Lord Almighty's miracles, I guess.

The question that nobody is asking is, if Biden is cognitively defective, if indeed he has some major form of dementia, and since Kamala Harris is very busy campaigning for the office of president of the United States, then who exactly is running things in the White House? Who is calling the shots? Who is the person or persons in charge? Who is holding down the fort?

Last Monday Nicole Shanahan, Robert Kennedy Jr.'s running mate, put out a video on X in which she said, "Tonight, we are going to hear from President Joe Biden, who at this point is basically president in name only.

"You know, no matter what your opinion is of Joe Biden, if you love him or if you hate him or don't really care, you have to realize that something feels very wrong about how the Democratic Party ran a full core pressure campaign to get him out of office after he won 14-15 million votes in the primaries," she said.

"Isn't it strange how he bowed out because he didn't feel like he could serve another four years, but somehow he's OK to serve four more months as we face historic inflation, debt and war? Any impartial observer can look at that and realize the DNC machine did what they always do. They pushed someone out they couldn't successfully puppeteer," Shanahan said. "So much for defending democracy."

After Biden's tearful farewell "passing the torch" address at Monday night's Democrat Convention, he and Jill jumped on a plane and took off for California, yet another week of "vacation" for joe. Word is that Joe is in the Santa Barbara area. Kamala is in Chicago at the DNC party. So again I ask, who is running things? Who is acting president?

The new president will be inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2025 which means that Biden has something like 150 days left of his term. Believe me, he won't be doing anything except continue to pretend he is president. But in fact, that's what he's been doing for his entire term. Since the very beginning someone has been pulling Biden's strings.

I think the American public deserves to know just who the hell has been in charge these past four years? We may never get the real answer, but you can bet, just like Biden's decision to "pass the torch," Obama and other Democrat operatives hiding in the shadows have had their hands in it.

All the way up to their elbows.
