Joe Biden addressed the U.S. Coast Guard altering of the guard ceremony Tuesday. On Tuesday, Adm. Linda Fagan was elected Coast Guard Commandant. This is the first time a woman has led a branch within the military service.
Fagan is a four star admiral and has been serving as the vice-commandant in number 2 since June.
Biden spoke about ten minute, beginning by complaining how hot it was. Maybe no one wants him to talk and maybe he should just eat. Maybe he has something.

He wasn’t joking and he probably should have just skipped saying anything. It’s obvious how hot this was in the photo.

Unfortunately, Biden didn’t stick with that thought and tortured us with remarks anyway.
Biden spoke about increasing the number of women in the armed services, claiming there was “more work to be done” to ensure diversity including at the highest levels.

Women and men must be selected for their potential to fight as the best fighting force that they can.
Biden mentioned the importance the Coast Guard could have in Arctic. This was something that I enjoyed hearing. The Arctic was a priority for President Donald Trump. He didn’t get nearly enough credit for being on top of that. Not enough people have been paying attention to Russia’s moves in the Arctic, but Trump was paying attention. But as Biden continued his comments on the Arctic, he started speaking about the involvement of the Coast Guard in dealing with climate change “as the Arctic melts.” This was some jumble of words.

“To manage the impact of climate change, becoming more extreme, more extreme weather and growing migration flows. In addition, you see what’s happening in the Arctic. Arctic’s gonna change drastically and become a place that is gonna also potentially generate potential conflict in terms of dominating in the Arctic as it melts.” So the Arctic is going to change, generate conflicts and dominate itself, as it melts? What? I’m so confused.
But I suppose that given what he’s said about 9 mm guns blowing the lung out of the body, this probably is stunning clarity for him, even if it makes no sense and is just confusing word salad.
Biden had difficulty spelling the name Lt. McCarron, his Coast Guard military aide. Commander Jayna McCarron, seeming to call her “Jane” at about 3:38.

It’s his aide, how can he not have her name running off the tip of his tongue?
About five minutes into his remarks, it seemed that he had a bizarre space out. It was like he lost where he used the teleprompter, or lost a line. I’m not quite sure what happened as he talks about the Coast Guard being central to the country’s Indo-Pacific strategy.
“Building partnerships with nations throughout the region. To take on illegally and unreported and unregulated fishing,” Biden said. His brain began to break as he turned his head towards the right, looking at the teleprompter. He didn’t seem to be able to comprehend what he was saying. “Reported…shared threats…that conduct and coordinate human-environmental missions.” What was he even trying to say here? But at least he didn’t rip off Ronald Reagan (badly), quote Mao, and get mad at the graduates for not clapping, as he did at the Coast Guard commencement ceremony last year.
But if the Biden team wants to answer the question of why he’s facing such crushing depths in the polls, his incoherence is a big part of it, in addition to inflation and his bad policies with which Biden and his team also can’t seem to deal.
