    Earlier in his political career, President Biden showed gritty refusal to be counted out. Now his trademark defiance seems to be hardening into denial.

    "When Stephanopoulos relayed Pelosi's question to the president, he
    batted it away. "It was a bad episode," he said. "No indication of any
    serious condition."

    But Biden acknowledged that he has not undergone a full neurological
    or cognitive evaluation. "No one said I had to," he said.

    "I have a cognitive test every day," he added, referring to the many
    meetings he attends as president. ==============================================================

    Unknown about his mental reasoning, but his wife and those who attend
    the meetings should be aware.

    He has had a lifetime speech issue, and I am aware of people who can
    interject unrelated thoughts, but whose cognitive abilities are good.

    Speech and thinking are not on the same page in the brain.
