JOE BIDEN SHUFFLES OFF THE STAGE. It’s hard to believe now, but at this moment, 82-year-old President Joe Biden once imagined he’d be getting ready for a second term in office. Instead, he delivered a “farewell address” Wednesday night, making very clear, for the nth time, that he is not mentally or physically up to the job of president of the United States. The idea that Biden could serve four more years, which many Democrats accepted as fact just last year, was ridiculous.

So, with a small group watching inside the Oval Office — wife Jill Biden, recently pardoned son Hunter Biden, and Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff — Joe Biden made his last speech to the public. Apart from a lot of sentimental boilerplate, its key message was: The super-rich have too much power in politics. But it was a very specific type of super-rich person who is worrying the president.
