Several presidents have had their policies fact-checked, but the majority do. Joe Biden has received the most sleep-deprived fact checks of any other president, but this is due to the fact that presidents typically don’t doze off during important occasions like overseas leaders’ visits or memorializations of recent natural disasters. Even in the best of circumstances, it’s not entirely clear if Biden is awake or asleep. But occasionally, before waking up, he closes his eyes and seems to drift off. The media then rushes in to refute the claim that he wasn’t actually unconscious. This occurs so frequently that video of a concealed Biden appearing to doze off with his eyes closed was captured when former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett visited the White House in 2021. Benjamin Netanyahu, the current prime minister, made a joke in his own video, saying,” I heard Biden was paying close attention at this meeting.” In agreement, he bowed his head. According to media fact checks, Biden’s sleeping video had been” misleadingly cropped.” This year, Biden welcomed Israeli President Isaac Herzog( an unaccountable official) to express his opposition to political judicial reform in Israel by appearing to close his eyes, clasping his hands, and muttering something about” coming along at a social level.” The media clarified that he was reading from a note in his lap, contrary to what some people initially believed. with his eyes shut. The media accused” misleading clipping.” Although Biden has come under fire for avoiding meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, it’s likely that by the time he spoke, Netanyahu would be unconscious. Biden’s drowsiness isn’t actually anti-Israel, unlike the different policies of the administration. Biden seems to have dozed off at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference while a speaker spoke about the” destruction of the planet” before being abruptly awakened by an aide during an MSNBC interview, at NATO meetings in front of Turkey’s Islamic dictator, and during the USS Delaware commissioning ceremony. Biden doesn’t distinguish between domestic and global events or give a damn which nation is involved when it comes to falling sleep. Ceremony, protocol, global relations, and significant crises are all powerless to stop Biden from dozing off. In the most recent naptime incident, Biden appeared to nod off before shaking himself out of it and nodding in confusion during a chapel event for those who perished in the Hawaii wildfires. The media has consistently claimed that the video was inaccurate or out of context. Media fact checks claimed that the original video of Biden dozing off during the Maui memorial was” low quality” and that he was simply looking” downward” but that” he kept his eyes open for the majority of the time, looking downward.” Simply Biden can be certain that he was actually asleep because sleep is subjective to the beholder. You don’t need to be 80 years old to nod off while listening to a speech. I completed it myself. And the majority of us have probably dozed off momentarily at some point before waking up right away. Beyond a little bit of social awkwardness, there is nothing particularly wrong with that, but lying about it is another story. It’s not at all improbable that an 80-year-old man who had just completed a lengthy flight, visited wildfire damage in the heat, and participated in numerous events might have momentarily dozed off at around 9 PM before boarding an aircraft to return to Nevada. The issue is not that Biden’s employees are fabricating information about the sleeping, but rather that the media is. A sane person would have to wonder whether it’s more likely that there is something wrong with all the videos of Biden dozing off in public or that occasionally an 80-year-old man could theoretically catch a dozen unlucky Zs while acting as though he cared about the impending destruction of our planet, NATO, Israel, or several people who were burned to death in Hawaii. A nap isn’t always only a nap. Maui seemed to experience a bout of heavy breathing at the same time as Biden’s immediate somnolence. Past videos seem to imply something comparable. Biden might never be nodding off as much as he might be experiencing something that makes him close his eyes, budge his head, and take deep breaths. He may momentarily lose consciousness based on his reaction, but another times he can speak without stuttering. This appears to be a health issue, despite the fact that I’m neither an expert on clinical matters nor an theorist of conspiracy theories. In June, the White House declared that Biden had started using a CPAP machine to treat sleep lapses. It’s no improbable that he has breathing problems in addition to those that are still unknown. The Biden administration has made an effort to keep its mythical figurehead on vacation and when far away from the media as possible in order to avoid putting pressure on him. In order to prevent the whole public discourse from devolving into a mutual exchange of conspiracy theories, it is the media’s traditional role to pose such queries and think conspiratorially but objectively. However, the media is now that to spread false information about its political rivals while claiming that their boss isn’t actually sleeping; rather, he simply has his eyes closed. No one truly believes the media these days, and yet they don’t particularly believe them. The media is the best at recognizing that clicks and politics are its sole driving forces. A crooked 80-year-old man who tells crazy lies, such as falsely claiming that his son died in Iraq, ends speeches with proclamations of” God Save the Queen ,” and does other incomprehensible things that not even his staffers can explain is responsible for the media’s party. When Biden is covered by the media, an unreliable force clashes with an unexplainable politician, which amounts to complete nonsense. Despite countless photos and videos of Biden groping and sniffing the wives and daughters he encounters, the same media that oddly ignored his misbehavior around women and girls must also explain away all the sleeping videos. Is there a health issue or is the media merely masking the old candidate’s short attention span? The media itself might not be aware. In crooked organizations, cover-ups become the default concerned, so even when there isn’t a crime, there will still be one. The media starts the cover-up before the scandal, not waiting until there is a scandal to launch it. To avoid the possibility that Biden may be snoozing due to medical issues, at which point dreamland becomes an election issue, it is safer to deny that he is sleeping. Although there is a time and place for falling unconscious, lying about it is not. We recently passed a public concert where the aged The Tokens band’s new members and the remaining members were singing their hit song from the 1960s,” The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” Joe Biden is a liar who can lie yet while he is asleep. He is not lion-like. Joe Biden, who lied about being alive while sleep and sleep while awake, set new records for politicians. Most politicians lie while they are awake.
Most presidents are fact checked about their policies, few have been fact checked about whether they were awake. Joe Biden has had the most sleeping fact checks of any other president, but that’s because presidents usually don’t fall asleep at major events like visits by foreign leaders or commemorations of mass deaths in a recent natural disaster.Even at the best of times, it’s never that clear whether Biden is awake or asleep. But sometimes he closes his eyes and appears to drift off before stirring awake.And the media rushes in to argue that he wasn’t really asleep.This happens so often that when former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett visited the White House in 2021, video showed a masked Biden seeming to doze off with his eyes closed. Current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joked in his own video that, “I heard that Biden was very attentive at this meeting. He dropped his head in agreement.”Media fact checks claimed that the video of Biden sleeping had been “misleadingly cropped”.This year, Biden welcomed Israeli President Isaac Herzog (an unelected official) to express his opposition to democratic judicial reform in Israel by seemingly closing his eyes, clasping his hands and mumbling something about everyone “coming together at a political level”.Some people thought he was sleeping, but the media explained that he was reading from a note in his lap. With his eyes closed. The media blamed “misleading clipping”.While Biden has been criticized for avoiding meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, the odds are he’d be asleep by the time Bibi opened his mouth.Unlike the administration’s other policies, Biden’s sleepiness isn’t even anti-Israel.Biden appears to have fallen asleep at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference while a speaker intoned about the “destruction of the planet” until seemingly woken by an aide, during an MSNBC interview, at a NATO session opposite Turkey’s Islamist dictator, and at the commissioning ceremony for the USS Delaware. When it comes to falling asleep, Biden doesn’t discriminate between national and international events or care which country is involved.Ceremony, protocol, international relations and major crises can’t stop Biden from napping.In the latest naptime incident, Biden appeared to nod off during a memorial event for those who died during the Hawaii wildfires before shaking himself out of it and nodding in confusion.Each time the media has argued that the video was somehow misleading or out of context.After a video of Biden dozing during the Maui memorial went viral, media fact checks claimed that the original video was “low quality” and that he was just looking “downward” but that he “kept his eyes open for most of the time he was looking downward”.Sleep is in the eye of the beholder and only Biden knows for sure whether he was really asleep. You don’t have to be 80 years old to fall asleep during a speech. I’ve done it myself. And most of us have probably briefly nodded off at some occasion only to quickly wake up again. There’s nothing especially wrong with that, beyond a little bit of social awkwardness, but lying about it is another matter. It’s not at all far-fetched that an 80-year-old man after an extended flight, touring wildfire damage in hot weather, and taking part in multiple events might have briefly dozed off at 9 PM or so, before boarding a return flight to Nevada.The problem isn’t that Biden’s people are lying about the sleeping, it’s that the media is doing it.A reasonable person would have to ask whether it’s more plausible that there’s something wrong with all the videos of Biden falling asleep in public or that sometimes an 80-year-old man might conceivably catch a few inopportune Zs while pretending to care about the imminent destruction of our planet, NATO, Israel, or a bunch of people burned to death in Hawaii?Sometimes a nap isn’t just a nap. Biden’s sudden somnolence in Maui appeared to coincide with a bout of heavy breathing. Previous videos appear to suggest something similar. Biden may not be nodding off so much as he may be experiencing an event that causes him to close his eyes, bow his head and breathe heavily. Based on his reaction he may briefly lose consciousness, but other times he’s able to continue speaking, but slurs his words.I’m neither a doctor nor a conspiracy theorist, but this looks like a medical issue. The White House announced in June that Biden had begun using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea. It’s not impossible that he has breathing issues beyond those that have yet to be disclosed. The Biden administration has done its best to limit its titular figurehead’s schedule: and keep him vacationing and away from the press as much as possible to avoid placing strain on him.It’s the traditional role of the media to ask such questions, to think conspiratorially, but factually, so that the entire public discourse doesn’t devolve into a mutual exchange of conspiracy theories. Unfortunately these days the media is there to throw conspiracy theories at its political opponents while explaining that its boss isn’t really sleeping, he just has his eyes closed.Nobody really believes the media anymore and even the media doesn’t especially believe the media. The media knows better than anyone that its only motivations are clicks and politics.The media’s party has tethered its fortunes to a corrupt 80-year-old man who tells bizarre lies, like falsely claiming that his son died in Iraq, finishes speeches with declarations of “God Save the Queen” and does other incomprehensible things that not even his staffers can explain.When the media covers for Biden, an untrustworthy force meets an inexplicable politician resulting in total nonsense. The same media that awkwardly ignored Biden’s misbehavior around women and girls, despite legions of photos and videos of him groping and sniffing the wives and daughters he encounters, has to also explain away all the sleeping videos.Is the media just covering up their elderly candidate’s limited attention span or a medical issue? The media itself may not know. Cover-ups become the default responsible in corrupt organizations so that even when there’s no crime, there’s still a cover-up. The media no longer waits until there’s a scandal to launch the cover-up, it commences the cover-up before the scandal. It’s a safer bet to deny that Biden is sleeping to avoid the possibility that he may be snoozing because of medical problems at which point dreamland becomes an election issue.Falling asleep is not a crime or a moral failing (although there’s a time and a place) but lying about it is. Recently we walked past a public concert where the surviving descendants and a few new members of the old The Tokens band were performing their sixties hit song, ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’. Joe Biden isn’t a lion, he’s a liar, and he manages to lie even while sleeping.Most politicians lie while they’re awake, but Joe Biden has broken new ground by lying while awake and asleep, lying about being awake while asleep and asleep while awake.
