Just a few minutes ago, I finished taping a new edition of my Duane's World podcast

But the second we finished recording, clips from the President's trip to Las Vegas for the NAACP conference showed up online, and had it been available an hour sooner, I would have covered this wall-to-wall.
Over the past couple of weeks, Joe Biden has latched onto the failed and disastrous economic vision of rent control as the solution to high inflation that's been throttling the economic condition of millions of Americans across the country. Never mind the fact that every area in the country has its own cost of living and individual price structure. Joe Biden wants to create by fiat a 5% rate hike cap on what landlords can charge for rent everywhere. From a policy standpoint, if you thought we had problems now, just wait until a national rent control cap gets implemented.
But the President is in an ongoing state of cognitive decline, and words keep coming out of his mouth that aren't quite what anybody around him envisioned him saying, like Tuesday in Sin City. Get a load of this.
We're not talking about 5% anymore. He's now putting a dollar cap on rent hikes, apparently, set at $55 bucks. I'm sure he misread the prompter, and I'm even more sure he has no earthly idea what the hell he's talking about. But the crowd sure liked the prospects of rents only going up $55. Now good luck finding a place to live, and if you find a place, you're now taking your life in your hands because the building might fall down around you due to the lack of maintenance.

I'm genuinely curious from an neurological basis where Joe Biden came up with the number 55. He's never been good with math. Just this week, when talking about the latest regime media bogeyman, Project 2025, Joe fumbled the line badly.
In fact, every time Biden speaks and numbers are introduced, I'm immediately reminded of Chevy Chase's Saturday Night Live skit as Gerald Ford.
It's well-documented that sufferers of Parkinson's, if that's indeed what the President has, have trouble processing math as the disease progresses. Here's part of an abstract found in a study published by the National Institute on Health.
Patients with PD showed deficits in complex mental calculation and calculation span tasks. Results of this study suggest that impairments in working memory as well as in executive functions, such as inhibition of interference, lead to secondary deficits in numerical processing. The study contributes to better understanding the specific cognitive deficits in early PD and the neurocognitive architecture of arithmetic processing.I'm not making fun of people who have Parkinson's, or those who have family members going through mental decline. I am mocking the President for having obvious impairment, and the White House, the political reelection campaign, and regime media who until very recently opening engaged in covering it up.
Where does the $55 dollar number come from? It most certainly was not on the teleprompter, so what neuron fired in Biden's head to cause him to say it? Is Joe Biden a closet Sammy Hagar fan?

Perhaps he's much cooler than that. I doubt it, but perhaps he's actually a Tom Waits fan.
All I know is that for the Democrats, waking up to polling this morning that showed if the election were held today, Donald Trump would win Virginia by three points, Wisconsin by 6 points, and the former President is looking at a sizeable Electoral College win this November. Even John King of CNN can see the numbers, and they don't look good for the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Things are pretty bleak. So bleak, in fact, that after the disastrous debate, Team Biden didn't even ask for internal polling reaction until Monday night. They simply didn't want to know how bad it was out there. It's hard to report things aren't going great to the President and donors when you don't ask for the data in the first place.
Still, they have to mount a campaign against Donald Trump, and as Will Rogers, the Mike Rowe of his generation, said in 1934, "You can't beat something with nothing."
Biden's economic plan hasn't worked, his foreign policy has been a trainwreck, his immigration policy has everyone ticked off, crime is up, he got his head handed to him during the debate, and his vice president is an abject moron. So what is the closing message? Become President Jimmy McMillan.
Sure, the strategy didn't work for McMillan, but that's only because he tried to reinvent the wheel and form his own party, instead of working within the two-party system. Of course, the fact he was a lunatic didn't help his cause, either, but the message is still the same. It works. It has to work. Nothing else is. Everyone renting a place understands it costs too much money in rent. Even Mel Brooks worked it into his 1974 masterpiece, Blazing Saddles.

When it was Greek independence day, Joe Biden said, "They call me Joe Bidenopoulos." He's used to changing his name. President Jimmy McMillan isn't too far of a stretch for him, and heck, it might even get someone to write a song about him the way they did when the real McMillan ran.
And this was only one clip from his NAACP address. There's more. There's always more with Joe Biden - more incompetence, more regulation, more executive orders, more lies, more decline.
Four months to the election, and then January 20th is right around the corner.
