There is no doubt that former President Joe Biden was suffering from cognitive decline and health issues when he was supposed to be running the United States.
The videos do not lie when he was confused and did not know which way to walk off the stage or where to stand at an event. The audio clips of his stumbling and stuttering tell the truth. His age really showed and he had a tough time performing his duties.
Heck, we all start to have issues as we get older. Memory loss, health issues and other things can affect our daily lives.
But if you run and are elected as the leader of the free world, then you should be of good mind, as well as mental and physical health.
“I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak up about what she saw in regards to her husband and when she saw and what she knew,” current White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a recent press briefing.
“Anybody looking again at the videos and photo evidence of Joe Biden with your own eyes and a little bit of common sense can see this was a clear cover-up, and Jill Biden was certainly complicit in that cover-up,” Leavitt added.
Perhaps the former first lady and the staff surrounding Biden need to answer some questions under oath. Were they lying or deceiving Americans?
Now the possibility that someone used an auto-pen (an automatic signing machine) to sign executive orders and the hundreds of pardons Biden granted in his last days in office are under investigation. This includes his son Hunter Biden.
In Biden’s defense, he may not have known that many of his orders, pardons and documents were signed using his signature. If this is the case, then there needs to be an investigation. If this proves to be true, then are those pardons and orders legal?
There had to be others on the staff of former President Biden, like former Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, former Vice President Kamala Harris, and others who met with him daily, who probably had to realize his cognitive abilities were in major decline.
Pierre also dismissed the many videos of Biden appearing disoriented or frail as “cheap fakes.” She insisted that they were based on “misinformation” in a June 2024 interview. She stated, “That is not a question that we should be even asking.”
Most of us saw it with our own eyes. They can deny all they want.
Was there a cover-up about Biden’s mental and physical decline? It certainly appears that could be the case. Was he a puppet for certain behind-the-scenes politicians?
American citizens need to know the truth.
Short stuff:
Regardless of politics, how can anyone still support biological males competing against females in sports? It is just wrong for transgender persons to go up against someone they have an obvious physical advantage over.
It happened again in a high school state track and field meet in Oregon. Two young, brave ladies refused to get on the medal stand with a transgender athlete.
This also happened in the state of California.
Good for these girls. We should support their protest.
… Did you see where two Chinese students were arrested for smuggling a “fungus” into the U.S. that can poison crops and also make humans sick? This is something right from the HBO show “The Last Of Us.” Except this is real folks.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the case involving two Chinese nationals who were charged last week with allegedly smuggling a “dangerous biological pathogen” into the U.S. to study at the University of Michigan laboratory demonstrates a serious national security threat to America’s food supply. It shows you that biological warfare is real and is something we need to be concerned about.
The two individuals were students at the University of Michigan.
There will be more on this story. But this is scary and worrisome.
Until next time.
