Joe Biden’s Big Mouth
BREAKING NEWS: Gov. Glenn Youngkin will join Kerry and Mike this morning with a major news announcement. Tune in between 9 and 10 to News Talk 790 WNIS!
What was it they said during World War II? “Loose lips sink ships…”
Someone should tattoo that somewhere on Joe Biden’s saggy skin. The man never learns to keep his mouth shut.
Look what the commander-in-chief blurted out yesterday:
Biden on sending cluster munitions to Ukraine:

Yep, he told the whole world, including our enemies, Russia and China, that we’re running out of ammunition.
Smart, huh?
Hopefully, Putin and Xi know that Biden is rapidly slipping into dementia and may have misspoken. Or perhaps his top military advisors have learned that he can’t be trusted with important information.
I have no military training, but even I know that you never tell your enemies about any weak spot in your defenses. Running low on ammo for 155mm weapons would be a big problem. Once our enemies know, it compromises national security.
Then again, perhaps Old Joe believes we have some sort of gentleman’s agreement with our adversaries to fight by Marquis of Queensberry Rules. Once they know we’re out of ammo they will politely refrain from any aggression until we make some more.
Or maybe Biden is not smart enough to be president.
This isn’t the first time Biden’s compromised national security with his loose lips.
Anyone else remember that it was Biden who confirmed that it was SEAL Team Six that took out Osama bin Laden?
No? Reuters is here to refresh your memory with a timeline from 2011:
Reuters reports that late on the evening of May 1, 2011, “then-president Barack Obama announced that the U.S. had killed Osama bin Laden…Obama noted that the attack…had been carried out by a small team of Americans who worked with extraordinary courage.”
Simple and non-specific.
But two days later, the big mouth veep couldn’t resist giving more details. In a keynote address to the Atlantic Council Awards Dinner - one of the make-work assignments routinely given to America’s useless second banana - Biden spilled the tea.
He confirmed that it was SEALs who killed bin Laden, something that national newspapers had guessed at, but had not confirmed. If memory serves, he even revealed the name of the Belgian Malinois that was involved: Cairo.
Two days later, on May 5th, Al-Qaeda vowed revenge.
A week after that, on May 12th, “Defense Secretary Robert Gates expressed concern about the safety of the members who participated in the raid and their families. At a town hall meeting in Camp Lejeune, a Marine Corps base in North Carolina, Gates said: “There is an awareness that the threat of retaliation is increased because of the action against bin Laden.
“Frankly, a week ago Sunday, in the Situation Room, we all agreed that we would not release any operational details from the effort to take out bin Laden,” Gates said. “That all fell apart on Monday — the next day.”
Then, tragedy struck on August 6th, “Taliban fighters shot down a helicopter transporting U.S. military personnel on a mission to capture or kill a senior Taliban leader. Among the crew onboard were members of SEAL Team Six, according to Newsweek…
The parents of Aaron C. Vaughn, a Navy SEAL killed in the incident, publicly criticized the Obama administration’s handling of information related to the bin Laden operation and filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Biden and former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta…The complaint alleged that Biden and Panetta prompted the August attack by revealing the SEAL team’s role in the raid against bin Laden, according to a local media outlet.”
This is what happens when you elect a C-student to public office. They often aren’t smart enough to know when to keep their mouths shut.
Even before they begin slipping into dementia.
And this loose cannon wants another term.
