The Wall Street Journal wrote on Thursday that White House aides immediately “insulated” President Joe Biden, even from his top Cabinet members, from the very start of his presidency in 2021.
This means top aides have been lying, not only to people within the administration, but to the entire country, all while understanding and trying to disguise the fact that Biden was unable to function as president.
The Journal report starts by revealing that during the 2020 campaign, “Jill Biden campaigned so extensively across Iowa that she held events in more counties than her husband—a fact her press secretary at the time, Michael LaRosa, touted to a local reporter.” That press secretary was then told to immediately call the reporter back and downplay the fact that Joe Biden, then 77, was unable to keep up with his wife, who was doing the campaign for him while he stayed in the basement of their home and read prepared scripts.
After he took office in January of 2021, his official staff quickly realized they had to rearrange his schedule to accommodate for his episodes of fuzzy-headedness and fatigue.
It wasn’t until Democratic lawmakers and donors spoke to the Wall Street Journal that the extent of this coverup has been known, with staff shielding him from the public and the press in a coordinated fashion.
By the spring of 2021, Biden’s “good days and bad days” were forcing schedule changes routinely. During one meeting on national security, one senior official told an aide at the time: “He has good days and bad days, and today was a bad day so we’re going to address this tomorrow,” as relayed by the aide to the Journal.
As his first year as president continued, officials were told that briefings must be short and to the point, meetings with top cabinet members, including national security officials, became rare. According to the Journal, one cabinet member finally gave up on trying to schedule a talk with Biden after being repeatedly put off.
Biden was so mentally frail that he wouldn’t take a call from Rep. Adam Smith, Democrat chair of the House Armed Services Committee in the hours leading up to Biden’s catastrophic withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, when 13 U.S. soldiers died, 45 were injured, and 170 Afghan civilians were killed. The last military aircraft left Afghanistan on Aug. 30, 2021, just nine months into Biden’s presidency, when already his staff had formed a shield around him. Biden left the Taliban in charge of $7 billion in military weapons, aircraft, and equipment that he abandoned to the terrorists.
“I was begging them to set expectations low,” Rep. Smith told the Journal, because he thought the withdrawal was going to be more difficult than Biden was imagining. But he could not get a call through to Biden due to the protection racket.
The newspaper revealed that a voice coach was brought in to try to help Biden with his increasingly faint and whispery voice, described by the newspaper as a “fading warble.”
What the newspaper is describing is an extensive, coordinated cover-up that was executed at the same time the Democrats, including people like Rep. Mary Peltola, were describing Biden as not only competent, but sharp.
“I think that Joe Biden’s mental acuity is very, very on. He’s one of the smartest, sharpest people I’ve met in D.C.,” Peltola told NBC’s Meet the Press one year ago this month.
In February, it was determined that Biden could not be prosecuted for having highly classified documents at his house, because he has such poor memory issues, wrote Robert Hur, special counsel fo the Justice Department. Among documents stored along with various garage junk were papers that are still classified “up to the Top Secret level and includes Sensitive Compartmented Information, including from compartments used to protect information concerning human intelligence sources,” Hur said, including documents about Afghanistan and the U.S. military. While Biden could have classified documents as vice president, he kept them when he became a private citizen after leaving office in 2017.
A question now is whether Democrat voters will lose faith in their party leaders to tell them the truth, after such a coordinated propaganda campaign, where top operatives put power ahead of their country, has been revealed. Another question Americans might be asking is how much of this was a criminal act by staff members in the White House who knew full well that the lights were on, but nobody was home in Biden’s brain.
“There is a bigger problem here, and that is that I think Democrats are at the point where Republicans might have been right after the Bush election or after the Bush term was up, which is that I think Democrats are starting to mistrust their institutions,” Roginsky said. “And this goes back to a bipartisan effort to lie us into the Iraq war, not just by George Bush, but also by a lot of Democrats.
Lisa and Mary complicit in this hiding too.
What else are they hiding from us?
The truth will eventually come out!
“You can only push people so far!”
What are they hiding from us everything with money laundering stealing from the till lying about bio labs and FJB health.
Why the American taxpayer doesn’t get mad about how and where their tax dollars go is beyond me.
We work hard and play by the many rules but the politicians lie cheat and steal our tax dollars that wind up in pockets of the rich.
Wake up America the day of being broke is near.
This is the reason the Democrats lost and couldn’t be considered trustworthy. Man of us who experienced the elderly decline in our own families recognized the Biden issues and knew they were pissing on our leg. They definitely lost my trust.
It’s an ugly side of politics, the staffers and aides that work to keep their own political power and an organization so weak they won’t cull their own from the herd.
Political power is incredible until the gig is up. It’s finally over Joe and Jill so please just stay home in Delaware.
Every one of those cabinet members, aides, WH staff members is guilty of treason, or at a minimum, gross negligence and belongs in prison, with a live feed of Joey enjoying his time on the beach.
You draw that T word like a gun. Too bad you can’t comprehend the meaning.
Too bad your boy has been found out to be a fake.
Live with it Greg you have bought it hook line and sinker.
I don’t have a boy in the race.
Not no more he is going to the pasture.
You can go feed and pet your failed experiment.
Wall Street Journal has lied before. It’s not the number one trusted news source in the USA among journals even by Republicans, and has faced more than one controversy about its ‘slant’ as well as lack of fact-checking. Numbers don’t lie and it’s published mainly for its business and finance pages as it is owned by Dow Jones & Company, a subsidiary of News Corp, the media conglomerate controlled by Rupert Murdoch family. Greg, take this opinion as well as WSJ with a grain or two of salt.
30 days until daddy’s back
Trustworthy. It’s a terrible word Greg. Something you as a democrat would know nothing about .
Lots of comments will flow from the WSJ piece. My observation, and I hope many would be of the same mind – is just how UN-democratic the Democrat party has become. All I see are wealthy and connected people in the shadows, deciding who the party’s candidates will be, and pouring lots of money into election of those candidates. The whole operations looks, feels and functions like a cabal or criminal enterprise. Clinton, Obama, Biden and Harris are all members of the cabal.
Given that we rarely see contested primaries on the Democrat side here in Alaska, isn’t it just part of the same thing?
I’m occasionally reminded to cover my mouth when I yawn. People apparently don’t want to view my tonsils and snaggle teeth.
“White House aides immediately “insulated” President Joe Biden”
which is the narrative used to deflect the fact that every president since Reagan, and the brief aberration of Trumps’ first occupancy of the White House are simply puppets who are manipulated to continue the unchanging policies of exploiting America’s resources, using the unlimited power of printing money to benefit globalist oligarchs, and cause massive international terror and mischief in an attempt to maintain a global hegemony.
The massive conflict between Trumps’ administration and the permanent unelected government exposed this reality into the open, as Trump actually attempted to use the power of the office to change policies for the benefit of our country and its’ people, instead of serving the donor class.
No one paying the slightest attention couldn’t already see this reality, this pathetic WSJ article as though its’ breaking news, is an attempt to disguise the real underlying threat that we live in a totalitarian state, by pretending it was just an anomoly of a mentally deficient individual who was installed in the presidency office.
By the Grace of God, we have one last chance to reclaim a democratic Republic from the administrative autocracy with Trump coming into office again.
The public will need to openly support him as the gates of hell and all manner of attacks and obstruction will be unleashed against him by both Democrats and so called Republicans, to protect the special interests.
Constitutional Republic
Our Constitution is so shredded and the concept of a free, and sovereign citizenry is so far gone that a slight turn towards a democratic Republic is the best we can do for several generations.
The administrative state kleptocrats cannot take freedom from a functioning people. We, as a distinct nation and people, willingly surrendered our birthright in favor of a dysfunctional pretense of security and unearned benefits.
Our ancestors were told you have a constitutional republic, IF you can maintain it. We didn’t.
100% agree Brian.
LOL. The White House didn’t hide anything. The entire WORLD knew about Joe Biden. The most visible Alzheimer’s patient ever. The WH was nothing but a lock-down facility for a mentally deranged, incompetent, incontinent, stumbling idiot. The WSJ should have done a detailed piece on Jill Biden, the most visible elder abuse First Lady ever. She kept Old Joe drugged up for over four years.
He was locked up in his basement the whole campaign. It’s no surprise, it sucks getting old.
So you were with him in the basement.
The truth comes out Greg lives in the basement.
It sucks a lot more, Greg, when Americans are forced to be involved in it. Joe Biden, the fictitious winner in the 2020 presidential election, should have been medically ineligible before 2020.
Possibly. They knew he couldn’t stand the rigers of active campaigning. Even hillary had to be flown home every night to get her transfusion of baby vampire blood so that she could go another day. They had a fresh batch at chelsea’s apartment for when she ran out, and she threw a shoe when they were shoving her into that van. That still remains one of the highlights that I often refer back to for a giggle.
Only you laugh, Mr. Forkner. The rest of us have had to deal with the Clinton’s criminal legacy for 40 years. A sad truth in American politics.
Yeah it’s sad.
Careful Greg I’m starting to like you
As a wise old man told me when I said it sucks getting old.
“ It’s better than the alternative”
The obfuscation of the Biden administration has been completely unacceptable. Say what you will about Trump, he might be a complete idiot, but you ALWAYS know what he’s thinking!
I don’t think I’d consider Trump an idiot. He runs circles around you.
Oh SNAP!
Did that make you feel better about yourself?
Yeah. It’s about me me me.
No Greg it’s not about you sorry now go cry.
I was doing my best trump impersonation.
No you were being your own typical blowhard who thinks he always has to get the last word in. Must suck to be that guy.
It is not very good
Exactly what is the WSJ trying to do with this article? More than half the country could see Biden was gone between the ears. We were daily shown how he was falling apart, falling down, not knowing where to go, who he was talking to and speaking complete jibber jabber. Four. Long. Years. Where was this reporting in 2021? 2022? 2023? No, WSJ, you are not reporting on this now. You are covering your tracks. And trying to remain relevant. You were part of the four-year cover-up of Biden’s mental incompetence. Try this: report on the people who were actually running the government and the people, including the media like yourselves, that were covering it all up for four years.
Dead on correct. The real story is : “Media Complicit in 4 Years of Cover-up of White House Staff Treason “
Anybody that believes the BS that comes out of Washington and our federal government and possibly our state governments deserves what they get if they believe that stuff. Everybody oughta know by now the politicians will lie to you to get their vote and they will steal you blind.
The lies and deception started right after the rigged election and Biden was never more than a puppet. It’s been like that old movie “Weekend at Bernie’s.” We’ve been ruled by a shadow government that is still ruling today.
Yep. Since Truman.
Who was making the decisions and writing all the awful executive orders? The ghost writers were certainly not elected.
I would like names and titles of the unelected shadow government that has been running out country into the ground for the last four years. It’s time for them to be held accountable!
Maybe we should start by naming our so-called representatives; hard to believe that they were & are blind to it… dear God, they’re just down the block & they love gossip!
Maybe Kari Lake should use her position on Voice of American as a source-description on what they are currently drafting & where each representative is on the descriptive issues included; & co-broadcast it on X.
By protecting a feeble old man, Biden’s aids put America into grave danger. Certainly Afghanistan, Ukraine and the Middle East are paying the price, as are we Americans with illegal immigration, a woke military and ultra-high inflation. 😡
Since we’re pattern seeking primates, many often prefer a conspiracy theory to no theory at all. MRAK and the majority of commenters on here prove this truism on a daily basis.
The only thing we need to know you and your side kick Greg lost the election and your boy has been proven to be an idiot.
If a who i’m thinking of I didn’t vote for him so how can he be my boy?
Now Greg,
Just admit that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are your heroes. Such a talented duo, and very talkative, sort of like you.
I lost the election? I wasn’t running for office. You prove that our species is only half a chromosome away from chimpanzees.
It’s no longer a theory once it’s proven.
Cman, it is over for you and your troll buddies. Consciousness has already shifted and your demoralization efforts no longer work. Your time is over. You will have nothing of value in life and will never be happy until you learn to operate in love and kindness. We are a part of you. When you use words to harm us, you only serve to harm yourself.
We are taking our country back from the old sick minds like yours and there is nothing you can do to stop that.
Give thanks that your world will not be shaken apart in this time of transition, else you will fall apart with it.
Rapture language. You have a very high opinion of yourself it seems. All will be fine. As I have stated, President-elect Trump deserves the chance to govern, and I’m willing to give him that chance. Were you saying the same thing when Biden won in 2020? I doubt it.
You may be confined into thinking we are just these bodies. Although they have close relationships to primates, these bodies also have relationships to any living creature. These electro-biological vessel are a result of intelligent programming with DNA, RNA and genetic sequences being the program language. We are related to plants, we are related to mushrooms, to birds, fish and lizards. We are also related to the inanimate by the fact that all physical things are constructed with atoms.
You believe you are just the character you play.
The fact is, we are all awareness, and the bodies are just vessels for the physical experience.
What you do against those outside of yourself, is an action against your greater self.
It you can believe me or not, but without care you will experience the consequences of cause and effect. The duality of life is you think you are just one person, but the reality is that we are all one.
It takes a bit to internalize this, but once you gain perspective, you will realize that your power plays online are but symptoms of a powerlessness you feel inside.
Be well. This is going to be a long ride.
Meanwhile, we’re supposed to believe that “Biden” is able to pardon all kinds of criminals and spies and NO ONE is doing or saying anything about that. And I suppose one of these days they will break the news that our “elections” are completely manipulated and fraudulent as well and that is how the uni-party keeps “winning”
“I think that Joe Biden’s mental acuity is very, very on. He’s one of the smartest, sharpest people I’ve met in D.C.” Peltola told NBC’s Meet the Press one year ago this month.
And you wonder why Begich won mary?
Go fishing, stay away from politics!
Missed 40% of votes anyhow, what a failure you were!
“A question now is whether Democrat voters will lose faith in their party leaders to tell them the truth”
First, Democrat voters are dumb and will not lose faith; second, their party leaders will never tell the truth.
Case closed….
John, I agree, as it turns out most “progressives” seem more herd animal than anything else. Mary Peltola is a prime example. I don’t think she has had an original personal opinion, she stood up and voiced in her entire time in politics and she simply followed the leader. I guess it is easier that way. At the same time we have conservatives of every shade, who generally are much more individual minded. This leads to the well known dilemma of too many voices and votes that sabotage the overall mission with too many cooks in that proverbial kitchen. Sometimes I think we should focus on principle instead of nuance, but in the end I’d rather have a healthy debate than blind obeisance to leadership.
At least half the country was aware of this for over four years. The Democratic Party, the useful idiots who comprise the base of the Democratic Party, and the main stream media were all complicit in gaslighting America.
The entire Biden cabinet should be acknowledged for their failure to act according to the US Constitution, they’ve betrayed this country and their duty. This Administration will go down in history as the absolute most corrupt and anti-American Administration ever. They’ve shredded the Constitution.
Anyone who loves this Country and believes in our Constitutional Republic should be irate about the Manchurian candidate that was the figure head of the third Obama term and those who were functionally running the country during the last four years. The left does not believe in democracy, they do not believe in the constitution, and they do not believe in republics, they only belive in control.
Well said. That the demorats went along with this charade shows they are as demented as joe biden.
I asked Sen Sullivian several times during Biden’s term. Sen Sullivian called for the impeachment or enactment of the 25th Amendment. It is a shame that none of our congress or senate acted to remove an incompetent person from the president’s office. The Congress and Senate had no interest in stopping Biden’s insanity
It needed to come from the VP and the cabinet.
Can you post the public statements that Senator Dan made calling for impeachment? The only things I saw publicly being said by him was being amongst the first senator to congratulate Biden on his “win” and of course, his panty twisting dramatic letter on the J6 event that he barely survived. He definitely was not amongst the legislators demanding a review by each state that requested it on J6.
Not really, kinda like calling for impeachment, no restrictions on who could call for the 25th be invoked.you sure have a clouded view of how this country works. Vp and cabinet had no say as no one really knows who was pulling Joey’s strings.
It must be in Democrat DNA to truly believe that lying is part of their job. Michael Savage told us twenty years ago that Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Those people put us as a nation in danger. They need to be brought up on treason charges. Then I would suggest a public hanging. I volunteer to kick the trap door.
Thanks for bringing us all up to speed on President Biden. Now, would MRAK please brief us all on the ethics report on Matt Gaetz, and explain how MAGA World wanted him to be AG? Fair and Balanced, right?
You may have missed the report from yesterday, where we linked the entire report and appendixes, but thanks for playing. Merry Christmas. -sd
WTD Merry Christmas!
Fair and Balanced? Shouldn’t fact based and objectively correct be more important?
Where are you when personalities like Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, AOC, the NY Times or the loony ladies from the view etc. make preposterous statement with no basis in fact 24/7. They are never fair or balanced yet I do not hear you complain about them.
Fair and balanced is up to you, seeking out various sources and judging their reliability. Anything else amounts to indirect censorship of “can’t say this without promoting that” (which I think is the whole point of your comment)
And by the end of his (mercifully last-ever) term in office, Trump will be almost as old as Biden, and just as feeble. Remember: What goes around comes around.
Your TDS is just that, Tedious
Fooled 70M voters in 2020 . Biggest landslide in history . Too bad they couldn’t drag that old horse of a carcass over the finish line in 2024 .
Even dumbest of election deniers I know are starting to smell a rat in 2020 .
I knew he was a fraud from day 1, it radiated off him. Jan 20 can’t come quickly enough.
The worst kept secret in history. Everyone knew Biden was demented. They lied right to our face. We knew it, and they knew it. Nobody was fooled.
The first tool of deception is a lie…
