According to The Washington Post, the reason has nothing to do with \u00adliberal bias.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is that Biden is so \u201cself-effacing\u201d and his \u201cpleasantly boring presidency has been a welcome return to normality.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s one way to look at the rapidly accumulating crises besetting the nation, especially on the southern border.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>More likely, comics are at a loss because the president already is a walking, talking parody of himself, with embarrassing gaffes and senior moments piling up, despite the best efforts of his handlers to keep him out of sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now that he is president, Biden\u2019s befuddlement and the opaque \u00adnature of White House decision-making is making voters nervous. Readers are writing in to ask who the hell is running the joint.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Upper West Sider Jay Cummings is one reader who has no problem seeing the dark humor in a bleak situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey, did you see Biden in a hardware store the other day?\u201d he writes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe owner asked, \u2018Could I help you?\u2019 and Biden said, \u2018Yes, I have a loose screw.\u2019\u2009\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Boom boom. SNL should give him a job.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kidding aside, America is waking up to what anyone paying attention during the election campaign knew was Biden\u2019s biggest problem, the taboo topic of his cognitive fade-outs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the cause, the pandemic gave him cover, but now that vaccines are kicking in and herd immunity is on the horizon, the oldest president in history soon will have nowhere to hide.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Already, voters have picked up that something is not quite right at the White House.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>More than six weeks since his inauguration, Biden has not held a press conference, or the customary first-year address to a joint session of Congress, and a Rasmussen poll this week shows that more than half of voters are worried about his ability to do the job.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only 34 percent of voters are \u201cvery confident\u201d that Biden is \u201cphysically and mentally up to the job of being president,\u201d while 14 percent are \u201csomewhat confident.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fully one third of Democrats are at least \u201csomewhat concerned\u201d that Biden has not yet held a press conference, as are 56 percent of \u00adindependents.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Whatever his handlers are hiding, even his trusty teleprompter can\u2019t fill in the gaps.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the podium this week to announce two new women <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>s, Biden forgot the name of his secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, as well as the name of the building where Austin works \u2014 the Pentagon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"President Joe Biden visits a COVID-19 vaccination site at the VA Medical Center in Washington\" class=\"wp-image-17528042 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/joe-biden-3-10-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/joe-biden-3-10-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/joe-biden-3-10-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/joe-biden-3-10-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/joe-biden-3-10-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>President Joe Biden visits a COVID-19 vaccination site at the VA Medical Center in Washington.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Patrick Semansky\/AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank the, uh, the uh, the former general .\u2009.\u2009. the guy who runs that outfit over there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Time for a new Loader of the Teleprompter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the rare occasion an un<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp;

Of the tens of thousands of illegal migrants flocking to the border, some wearing Biden T-shirts, only one in three is intercepted, according to Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>An estimated 6 percent have tested positive for COVID-19 but have been allowed to melt into the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Biden has handed people-smugglers a lucrative incentive to prey on vulnerable children.
