All the King's Men Have a New Spin: Biden Is So Vigorous You Couldn't Believe It, He's Just an Absolute Beast of Energy and Pure Animal Power!

Much like Ruth Bader Ginsburg before him.

Ishallah.

This story comes out just as Biden is demanding that his frenz in the press, especially in the New York Times, propgandize on his behalf even harder.

When will The New York Times finally stop pulling punches and go after Donald Trump?

That's the question Joe Biden's campaign asked the media this week. "For the political press corp (sic) --especially our friends at the Gray Lady," pleaded the White House, "it's time to meet the moment and responsibly inform the electorate of what their lives might look like if the leading GOP candidate for president is allowed back in the WH."

The New York Times is, indeed, a friend. It "meets the moment" all the time. So, no, Biden isn't working the refs here. He's demanding obedience. And the fact that the White House can brazenly petition a supposedly free press to join his campaign effort tells us a lot about how little the contemporary Democrat cares for a free press.

Recall that on the rare occasions that the Times slips up and writes an honest headline, celebrity journalism "professors" and leftist Twitterati swarm and demand it be changed to something more suitable. More often than not, the Times obliges them. They will oblige this time, as well.

In this instance, the White House didn't even profess they wanted a factual error corrected, which would be understandable. Biden was upset that the Times published a piece offering a quite banal, if inconvenient, observation about Trump and the issue of abortion.

In a piece headlined, "Why Trump Seems Less Vulnerable Than Other Republicans," Ruth Igielnik points to existing polling data that "seems" -- lots of hedging going on in the piece -- "to have effectively neutralized abortion as an issue during the Republican primary" with "vagueness" and attempts "to occupy a middle ground of sorts."

This is inarguable. Trump, despite all the bluster, is perhaps the most ideologically moderate and malleable major Republican candidate to run for the presidency in a very long time. As the piece mentions, the former president has taken virtually every position on abortion during his political life. And while it's true he's nominated constitutionalist jurists, as a candidate, he now claims that Florida's pro-life law is a "terrible mistake."

And because Trump, who has a substantial lead in the polls, is already running a general election campaign, while his GOP primary adversaries are compelled to shore up conservative support, he can moderate positions -- like every candidate ever.

Now, if the Times were responsibly informing the electorate, it would let everyone know that "devout Catholic" Joe Biden supports unfettered "access" to abortion until the baby hits the crib. Instead, we are inundated with the narrative that says radical abortion "bans" are sinking the GOP nationally. And the White House demands this notion be pushed at all times, with no exceptions.

As soon as the left stopped debating and knighted themselves sentinels of "democracy," they had their justification to act in "undemocratic" ways. The notion that there is an overriding duty to campaign for Biden to save the nation rather than engage in mundane traditional journalism is widely held on the left.

The other day, John Harwood -- who, until recently, was LARPing as a journalist at NBC -- posted that the media had a duty to "better convey 2 realities: --the US economy is doing well, not poorly --Biden at 80 is handling the job effectively right now."

Some people -- sentient people -- might argue the latter contention is dubious while the former one is highly debatable. Those debates should be left to pundits. But Harwood, like the celebrity "journalism" professor and institutions that crank out credulous activists rather than skeptical reporters, believes he has a higher purpose than letting voters figure these things out for themselves.

These orders are released just as Biden is preparing to attack Trump for being old and too feeble to be president.

And now: A Biden aide tells us that Joe Biden is a "beast."

On Aug. 31, NPR noted that Old Joe "has been avoiding climbing up the sometimes-wobbly 18-foot staircase that is trucked over to the plane's upper door. More often than not, he is using a much shorter and sturdier set of stairs that fold out from the belly of the plane."

But the problem wasn't that the stairs were wobbly. The problem was that the rapidly deteriorating kleptocrat was too weak to navigate them: "Biden, 80, has stumbled on the tall stairs more than once. The short stairs have the distinct advantage of moving most of Biden's ascent into Air Force One out of public view. But for those who have noticed the shift, it also draws attention to one of Biden's greatest political liabilities as he seeks reelection: his age."

Indeed. But now one of Old Joe's wonks, Mitch Landrieu, a man who has the lofty title of "White House infrastructure coordinator," is here to tell us not to believe our lying eyes....

For those of you that think the president might be too old or doesn't have enough energy or whatever it is that you all think, This guy gets up early. He stays up late. We have made trips, if not every week, sometimes twice a week and three times a week. And we have done it over and over again and there's nothing new here. What's wonderful about it is how relentless that it is and how many places that we have been.

As if that weren't laid on thick enough, Landrieu added: "The guy is, like, he's a beast."

BEASTMODE ACTIVATED!

He's a cyclone of energy, meaning he spins around aimlessly, randomly, and sometimes dangerously.
