According to his aides, President Joe Biden is a spry 80-year-old — at least between the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Outside of that time frame, he’s back to being Sleepy Joe, according to a new report.

On Friday, Axios reported that the Biden White House has a hard time planning any public and private events before midmorning and in the evening for the 46th president given his age and lack of energy. This, of course, comes as no surprise to most Americans who witness his diminished stamina and mental acuity on a near-daily basis.

“Biden’s close advisers say he’s mentally sharp,” Axios reported. “But even some of them concede his age has diminished his energy, significantly limiting his schedule.”

It sounds like a joke, but Axios even reported that “Many White House officials say they’re amazed at Biden’s stamina — often adding the caveat: ‘for his age.'”

According to Axios, Biden’s 2023 schedule has just four public events before 10:00 a.m., 12 public events after 6:00 p.m., and 12 weekends out of the public spotlight.

Even when Biden is in public during his purportedly preferred hours, he’s not exactly functional. For example, on Thursday, Biden failed to remember the last country he visited when asked by a child.

“Ireland!” a kid in the crowd yelled.

“Yeah, you’re right, Ireland,” he replied. “That’s what it was. How did you know that?”

The president was in Ireland just two weeks ago. As Biden runs for reelection, it appears likely that his campaign will try his 2020 strategy all over again: Hide him in a basement and limit rallies.

It’s a bold move, but when you can only operate at peak capacity 30 hours a week as president of the United States, what else can you do?

President Joe Biden claimed he had six grandchildren Thursday, leaving out his seventh grandchild, an illegitimate child of his son, Hunter.

The president hosted hundreds of children at the White House on Thursday for a “take your child to work day” event. When taking questions from some of the children, he bungled an extended answer about his family, claiming to only have six grandchildren instead of seven.

“The best part of it all, I have six grandchildren, and I’m crazy about them. I speak to them every single day,” Biden said. “Not a joke,” he added.

He then went on to name each of his grandchildren in turn, finishing with his youngest, three-year-old Beau, named after Biden’s eldest son who died of brain cancer in 2015. He missed one, however.

Four-year-old Navy is the daughter of Hunter Biden and former stripper Lunden Roberts. Navy lives in Arkansas with her mother, who has long battled Hunter Biden in court over his paternal duties.

Last week, lawyers for Roberts filed a request in an Arkansas court to force Hunter to turn over financial documents. The documents were supposed to be turned over to the court as part of her ongoing lawsuit to obtain paternity payments from Hunter.

Hunter is “flaunting the dignity and authority of the court,” Roberts’ legal team wrote, according to the New York Post. The Biden heir has failed to provide “one single item or word [of] discovery.”

“This court should incarcerate the defendant in the Cleburne County Detention Center until he complies with this court’s orders,” the court filing states.

Hunter’s refusal to recognize Navy as his daughter, despite a court-ordered paternity test proving the relationship, may be getting reinforced by President Biden, who has also never recognized Navy. A report by New York Post columnist Miranda Devine suggests that Hunter is staying at his father’s to avoid being served legal papers in his court fight with Roberts.

While not recognizing his granddaughter in Arkansas, President Biden earlier this week made remarks suggesting he had a great interest in properly caring for children.

“There’s no such thing as someone else’s child. No such thing as someone else’s child. Our nation’s children are all our children,” he said.
