By now, it’s the worst kept secret in the world that Joe Biden is having cognitive difficulties. (snip) Rush Limbaugh, however, has noticed another piece in the puzzle, and this one yields to empirical evidence rather than first-hand knowledge. This is the fact that, other than the long-ago Democrat debates and his acceptance speech (which may have been live, rather than prerecorded), Biden is never seen at night. (snip) Biden may be suffering from sundowning, something strongly associated with dementia in the elderly, especially with Alzheimer’s. Sundowning is so named because it consistently appears as the sun is setting.

I am less concerned with the constant drumbeat of “something’s wrong with Joe” (we KNOW, already).
The more burning question is: what is the Communists’ end game for the debates and election?
Have ballots been printed already?
Remember Jean Carnahan’s husband won posthumously so they have a way of making things work like they want.

Boston elected a dead guy 100 years ago.
So it can be done.

My grandmother and mother both suffered from Alzheimer's. While my grandmother would experience sundowning a few days a week my mother suffered nightly. If we had any business to take care of (shopping, medical appointments) they were always scheduled early in the day. She would wilt a few hours after lunch. More confused than usual, and she would express fear and her anxiety level rose. What bothers me is how the dems and msm in general have simply ignored this story even though it is obvious that Biden is suffering from some sort of dementia. But as Kamala said they are working on a "Harris administration" agenda. Vote for Biden get Harris, Bernie and the socialist/communist agenda within a few months if Biden actually lasts that long. This is the biggest bait and switch scheme ever.

My mother suffered from sundown syndrome. She would get very agitated and hyper at night. During the day, she was all right. My father had dementia and would wander all over the house at night. I was constantly afraid he would get out and wander off.

My husband started suffering from mini-strokes in his late 40s. They were severe enough to leave over 100 small scars on his brain. These scars contribute to the dementia he developed in his mid 50s. His sundowning got worse every year. He was nearly himself in the daytime, although he talked mostly about our younger years which was rather nice, but at night he would sometimes be combative or want to "go home" or even be afraid. How many brain surgeries has Mr. Biden had? I imagine his scars are larger plus his advanced age is a factor in dementia!

Dana Perino speculated that Biden wouldn't make it to election day but didn't elaborate. She was probably referring to this. I'm no fan of Biden by ANY stretch of the imagination but this is NO way for a man to live out his days and his wife should be ashamed for allowing this to go on. She's probably not, though. Like the article says, she is more interested in being First Lady than in her husband.

Lets be honest. Joe has never fully 'been there'. Now it is so bad that they cannot hide it anymore. Will they continue? will they 'switch' with Harris? The debate date is coming down like a thundering express train. I have this crawling feeling in the back of my neck that something big and nasty is about to erupt!

Especially in the early stages of dementia, the person involved can tell their forgetting things, or getting lost in terms of their place in time. They start pushing themselves to remember, to stay focused.
Most people, even workaholics use habits and familiarity to coast, give their brain a rest. Dementia people feel early on that they can't risk it, and that gets worse and worse the more often they realize they've misspoke.
This constant brain reving is exhausting. Possibly as exhausting as a tough physical workout. Toward the end of her life my mother, slowly drifting off into dementia. Used to break down into tears over how lost she felt, how tired of flipping through events in her past. Of seeing people who she recognized as close friends, only to find they are her long dead friends grandchildren, or mistaking me for my father. It. Is. Exhausting.
By the end of the day, you can't keep on task, you can't even remember who you are, sometimes, and it gets harder and harder with each passing day.

I think the Democrats plan to keep Biden as a literal Straw man, until maybe two weeks before the election. Then he'll mysteriously have a different health problem, and they'll set up dear Kamala as the presumptive presidential candidate. "Vote Harris for poor old Joe!"
All of trump's advertising will be focused on Joe Biden, too late to reset their sights in the final days.
Thats why Biden is still their candidate.

First of all, President Trump sees in 3D strategies..
Harris is usually in the ad campaigns- she is associated with Biden.. Why do Democrat’s keep her profile lower than Joe? She is an unlikeable shrew.. but power brokers are willing to bet on ‘found’ ballots to pull out a victory.
I am more worried on voter fraud than Joe’s cognitive capability.

My mom has that, started out great in the morning then around 4pm things went downhill quick. The solution was to give her Xanax sometimes 1 worked and she would be better, other times you had to give 2 or 3 in which case she would get loopy before she went to sleep.

All the Demos want to do is get Joe elected and take total control of Congress. They need to keep the public convinced that Old Good-natured Affable Uncle Joe is the antidote for TDS.
The problem is that dementia cannot be controlled or scheduled. They can't roll out Joe at any given time and know for sure what he'll say or do. He could rehearse a hundred times and yet when it's time to perform he could start dismantling the microphone or simply walk off the set. There is no way to predict what will happen. HE can't be controlled; but his environment can. So that's exactly what the Demos are doing now---keeping him restrained, micromanaging his every minute. A normal candidate has some spontaneous moments, but not Joe. That tells you all you need to know.
So yes, Rush could be right. Biden could be considerably more agitated at night. But the Demos don't care about JOE or his sundowning per se---he's just a stand-in empty suit actor symbolizing the polar opposite of Trump. They just need to carefully control his environment for the next 47 days, 18 hours to obtain their goal of taking control of our entire government.

This brings up an interesting point. People avoid those who make them feel their own vulnerability. Biden may be losing votes by those who feel their own sense of security. As the article points out Biden's is obviously losing his grasp and people, especially the elders, who have may be thinking they are being more forgetful, or other indicators, won't like the mirror like effect of Biden. Biden magnifies the question for them. He makes them very uncomfortable.
Reasons for Biden to lose abound.

I am intimately familiar with 'sundowning.' My wife suffered with it. She was a brilliant woman who slipped away mainly because of the destruction of the medical profession by the idiot Obama. By the time I finally got someone who could have helped her to realize what was happening to her, it was too late. If for no other reason, that is why I will always despise the Kenyan Kommie.

Who says Harris Biden is never up at night?
When it's daytime in Delaware - - it's nighttime in China - - isn't it?

The scary part is Joe could be wandering around the White House at night and wonder what that box is that says Launch Missiles. ''I'm gonna, you know, press the big red button. C'mon man - let's see what happens''.

As you age your retinas lose rods and cones.
This usually happens at a different rate in each eye so by the time you get to 70 you should noticethe difference. At some point you lose enough rods to make night vision in one eye or the other just disappear. Wandering around in the dark, with recurring partial night blindness, can certainly be frightening.
I base this on experience gleaned from 11 different eye surgeries over the last 15 years.

What kind of political party would push to the American people a candidate with dementia? And what kind of voters would even vote and passionately campaign for him?

Yes indeed, the debates are at night and sundowning will be in full bloom. My mother had it and she became very combative and hostile in the evening. I have this theory about sundowning. In the morning the brain is well rested and fresh. As 4 pm rolls around the brain, like an old machine becomes tired and overheated and confusion and chaos sets in.
I predict Joe will be on some sort of medication this. Although, I'm not sure if there is one to counter sundowning.

Let just say Biden has always been a low IQ stupido since his first day in Washington. The guy is a dull and obnoxious braggart even before dementia. I don't really care what happens to him or what he does we all know he a 'screen saver' for the democrats who are up to no good in this election.

Biden will not appear on stage with Trump for debates. Mark my words. Lots of ways to make that happen. Pick one!
Biden will suggest, and Trump should accept, a "virtual" debate only with the following conditions:
1. Trump can do it from the Oval office
2. Reps from the Trump team must be present with Biden to ensure no earpieces or Teleprompter use
3. Trump must insist that at least HALF the commentators are conservatives (Rush, Levin, Bongino, Hannity, etc)
Let the games begin!!

With dementia comes irritability. That too is worse during the sundown and after period. Say from 5:00 or so on.

#13 Barry, my brother and I saw our mom go the same way. A very intelligent woman, strokes (at least 1 possibly 2) brought her down. God be with you and give you strength through this terrible time. And please take care of your own self and sanity.

My Mom's dementia went from stage 3 to 6 very quickly. So quickly that she didn't even realize she was forgetting things and who people are. Her sundowning was severe, keeping her very agitated and up all night. She was put into a home after the Police found her wandering on her street on a cold night in her nightgown around 1am. Stage 7 also came quickly and she passed in 2017, 4 years after being diagnosed.
If Joe does suffer from this, 9pm is not a good time.

Having had to deal with this phenomena with my late FIL, this is probably the best indicator of proof that something is wrong with Biden. I loathe the politics and sleaze of Biden and his decades in office, but I would not wish dementia on anyone, even an enemy. Dementia is no respecter of politics, it can strike anybody.
I think we know, or at least have a very good idea, of what the democrat endgame is gonna be. It never changes for them, vile creatures that they are.

Don't know if this is accurate or not. But if true, it would confirm what many believe--Joe Demento is meant to be a place holder for Kamala Harris, should he win in November. Should this nightmare come true, watch Harris, the MSM, and the left in general, start lobbying to have Joe removed under the 25th amendment, paving the way for the communist to become POTUS.

Not only does he have dementia, but some older people get agoraphobia. I think that's why he isn't going out or far.
