We reported that Joe Biden visited Kentucky earlier to visit Gov. Andy Beshear was on the way to South Carolina for a week when he stopped in Kentucky during his Delaware vacation. Biden spoke about flooding last week, which claimed many lives. He’s just out of isolation for COVID, but he wasn’t wearing a mask as he sat next to Gov. Andy Beshear hacked up one lung.

Biden looks a little out of sorts there, and Beshear is prone to flinching when Biden coughs. He wasn’t wearing a mask in any of the pictures or videos of him next to people in Kentucky.
But Biden wouldn’t be Biden if he didn’t make comments that make you go, “Huh?”
He had one such comment on Monday before he got to Kentucky when he was asked by a reporter about China’s threatening actions after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan.
Biden speaks to reporters about China’s response to Pelosi’s Taiwan trip.
“I am not concerned, but I worry that they are moving as much as possible. However, I do not believe they will move any further than they already are.

“I’m not worried but I’m concerned that they’re moving as much as they are. But I don’t think they’re going to do anything more than they are,” Biden said. No one can do any more than what they have done. Perhaps he is trying to say more than what they already have. But that’s Joe — you always have to try to interpret what he is saying. That’s concerning since he’s always wrong. If Joe says China isn’t going to do anything more, that means they probably are going to do something more.
Biden then asked Governor Beshear to join him at the briefing. Beshear if he may say something and noted, “I still have to ask permission.” Biden is just so used to being controlled, he asks permission automatically.

Biden then put the blame for flooding and death on climate change.

That’s more than a little offensive to use people who have just died to burnish your agenda points. Flooding is a fact of life since before the invention of time. He didn’t present any evidence this has anything to do with climate change.
Biden made additional remarks to flood victims and went off-script.
Joe Biden grabs the microphone standby and tells the crowd that it is time to leave his formal remarks.

“Everybody has an obligation to help,” Biden said. “It’s not like it’s beyond our control. The weather may be out of our control for now, but it is not beyond our control.” Yikes, does he think he can control the weather now? It’s not clear because that last sentence conflicts with itself, and is incoherent.
Next, he talked about the infrastructure bill that was he said cost “a billion two hundred million.” It cost $1.2 trillion. He also claimed that the “Inflation Reduction Act” will “take care of everything like health care and God knows what else.”

Exactly — they intend to spend on all their goals, while it does nothing at all to address what it is allegedly for — inflation — except to drive it up.
Biden stated that he would do whatever he could legally for the Americans. But if it wasn’t legal, he said, he would “change the law.”
Joe Biden has seen flood damage in KY and has pledged to do his best to aid the victims.
“I promise you. It’s legal, we’ll do it. We’ll work with you to make it legal.

Now, I’m all for him doing everything he can for these people. But what he said is truly a window into how Biden works, and it’s not good. He thinks he can do that– that he can “change the law.” That’s a truly problematic interpretation of the role of his office. No, sorry, Joe, that’s not in your power, you don’t get to just “change the law.”
Biden just can’t seem to stop the cockamamie comments, even after a week in isolation.
