Did Joe Biden actually die in 1988?

News broke recently that when Joe Biden was at Walter Reed Hospital he needed nurses to do a few things for him:

  1. Go to his home to get his pillows
  2. Whisper in his ear
  3. Breath into his nose

I’m not a male nurse like Gaylord Focker but don’t those 3 things sound like something a nurse/loved one would do when someone is about to go up to the great Spirit in the Sky? You want the dying person to be comfortable so you get pillows for them. Family and friends whisper things like, “I love you,” “Thank you for being the best dad, son, brother, etc.” Breathing into someone’s nose would be in a CPR situation, although odd, for sure.

The backstory is that Biden was at Walter Reed in 1988 after 2 brain aneurysms. In a 2007 book, he wrote this about his time in the hospital:

“Maybe I should have been frightened at this point, but I felt calm,” he wrote. “In fact, I felt becalmed, like I was floating gently in the wide-open sea.”

Feeling like you’re floating gently in the wide-open sea?? That’s what someone does when they’re crossing over the rainbow bridge, isn’t it? DID BIDEN BITE THE DUST 1988???? Is the pale man we now only see in videos a ghost, or maybe Star-Wars-style hologram? Has 1988 Joe Biden gone “back to the future” for one last chance to not lose a presidential election? All of this might explain when he’s had some major gaffes over the years, and even possibly wearing a “vest posey.”

Train graffiti art, pt 1

I was stopped at a railroad crossing for way too long so I thought, “Why not do something while I’m doing nothing?” …so I took some photos of the canvas passing in front of me. Here are a few of the tags (I think that’s what graffiti is called sometimes?) and check back tomorrow for the rest!

Soul change or just behavior modification?

We all understand an alcoholic’s behavior. Phrases like, “I can quit whenever I want” and “I’m not an alcoholic” are so common and even the punchline to jokes on TV and in movies. But let’s say an alcoholic conquers the addiction and actually becomes sober. Great! Awesome! So with this change in the person’s life, which of these three things have happened: 

  1. The alcoholic has changed their behavior but they’re still prone to this weakness
  2. This person has changed their personality which includes a stronger resistance
  3. The very makeup of the alcoholic’s soul has changed

I guess my ultimate question is this: When a person makes a big life decision, is it just behavior modification or has their soul changed? It’s very interesting to me. This thought crossed my mind when I was listening to Kesha’s song “Praying.” 

I hope you’re somewhere prayin’, prayin’
I hope your soul is changin’, changin’
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, prayin’

Is Joe Biden wearing a “vest posey”?

I was listening to a conservative radio show here in Nashville recently and a caller said with 100% certainty that Joe Biden in at least once instance was wearing a vest posey. The host asked the caller to clarify what he was talking about and I’m glad because I had never heard of these things.

According to the Posey website, the recommended use is for “patients at risk from falls or those requiring a restraint to assist with medical treatment.” In context of all of Joe Biden’s mental gaffes, I wouldn’t say it’s out of the realm of possibility that he might also be having some physical issues that require assistance. 

Back to the caller on the radio show, he said his wife is a nurse and she’s the one who pointed out that Biden was definitely wearing one, from her expert opinion on how someone looks/dresses with these things on under their clothing. 

What do you think? If this is true, do you think it should be a concern for those supporting his run for President? If you’re in the medical field and can shed some light on this, please comment below with your thoughts!
