Jill Biden: Lady Macbeth Redivivus?

Does Mrs. Biden lament her Lady Macbeth-like ambition in persuading her husband to try for another four years?

Allusions are stirring and rumors abound about Jill Biden, the former first lady. Aides to Joe Biden are being called to testify on Capitol Hill about accusations of a “cover-up” regarding the former president’s cognitive decline — who knew and when did they know it?

A Presidency Defined by Obfuscation and Denial

Though it has rightly generated criticism for one of its coauthors, Original Sin is a vital account of the White House cover-up of Joe Biden’s decline.

Joe Biden’s was a presidency encumbered by chronic, preexisting conditions. The overarching condition was a mythologized persona—avuncular, vibrant, warm—long curated by Biden and guarded by his compliant staff. In exchange for this devotion, Biden had left a long trail of disenchantment among those who knew and worked with him. In 2012, the New Yorker profiled Jeff Connaughton, a Biden Senate staffer who became a lobbyist, about his time with “Scranton Joe.” Connaughton recalled how, in 1994, he needed a reference for a job opportunity in the Clinton White House and asked Ted Kaufmann, then Biden’s chief of staff, if the senator would make a call on his behalf. Biden refused. “Jeff, don’t take this personally,” Kaufmann reportedly told Connaughton. “Biden disappoints everyone. He’s an equal-opportunity disappointer.”

Bombshell: Secret Service Whistleblower Revealed Troubling Account Of Biden In The White House

A Secret Service whistleblower has come forward with a shocking allegation: former President Joe Biden was so mentally impaired during his time in the White House that he would “get lost in his closet,” according to Sen. Josh Hawley. On Friday, Hawley revealed the disturbing claim as part of a broader accusation that Democrats engaged in a deliberate cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline—what he now calls one of the most egregious political scandals in modern presidential history.

Here are the ‘politburo’ members who were really running the Biden White House, according to ‘Original Sin’ authors

A small, tight-knit group in former President Joe Biden’s inner circle was running the White House like a “politburo,” and they were the “ultimate decision-makers” as Biden’s health and cognitive function continued to decline, according to the authors of a bombshell new book.

This group, dubbed the “politburo,” included a coterie of seasoned political veterans, including Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti and Bruce Reed — but also family members such as first lady Jill Biden and the president’s son Hunter, the authors of “Original Sin” claim.

Pick Your Scandal: Democrats Installing Their Deep State Meat Puppet? Or Is it America Finally Accepting Subjugation?

Years ago, when I began using the phrase “meat puppet” to describe those useful idiots the party would drag out to testify in favor of tax increases or open borders or welfare for illegals. And the political left couldn’t help seething as they attacked me.

But I liked “meat puppet” and kept using it because it works.


Good thread on the Autopen Presidency.

Meet the Biden ‘politburo’ accused of running the country in secret

“They did such a disservice to Joe Biden and to the country. The family as well. I don’t understand how you could see him in the condition he’s in and think, ‘Yeah, you oughta go [run for president again].’ To do that to someone you love?”

This is the verdict of President Obama’s long-time adviser David Axelrod in Original Sin, the new Biden tell-all by the journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson on the inner circle that kept Biden in the race for a second term even when the president’s own cabinet was raising alarm about his mental acuity.

PBS, NPR, and the ‘Unfounded’ Charge of the Bidens Hiding Cancer

Spokesperson for Joe’s butt.

You can always tell when a leftist media outlet doesn’t like a story angle. They’ll cry “no evidence,” and you want to ask them if they actually spent any time searching for evidence. It’s their way of suggesting the story is too disreputable to pursue, like Hunter Biden’s laptop.

On the PBS News Hour on May 19, the term was “unfounded.” Republicans are “pouncing” on the news that Joe Biden has an aggressive case of prostate cancer. PBS anchor Amna Nawaz lamented: “Donald Trump Jr. has posted online, claiming that the diagnosis here was part of a wider cover-up around Mr. Biden’s health. He’s also repeating unfounded claims that Biden clearly had dementia.”

Trump claims ‘treasonous thugs’ took advantage of Biden’s mental decline to open borders: ‘Wanted to destroy our country’

President Trump claimed that “treasonous thugs” in former President Joe Biden’s administration allegedly took advantage of his predecessor’s cognitive impairment in the White House.

Trump alleged that Biden never wanted open borders or for criminals to “flow into our country,” but the ideas were from his allies, who “wanted to destroy” the US.

People have gone on record stating that in direct discussions with Biden while he served as president that he was bewildered to discover he had supposedly approved specific acts of legislation.

Jill Biden ‘could face elder abuse charges following ex-president’s cancer diagnosis’

Jill Biden could face criminal charges if she helped to cover up her husband’s health decline, a department of justice official has suggested.

Leo Terrell, who works in the department’s civil rights division as senior counsel to the assistant attorney general, made the suggestion in a post on X.

“Elder abuse! Criminal charges??” he wrote, sharing a picture of the former first lady behind a desk on Air Force One.

The Easiest Thing Republicans Can Do Right Now Is Find Out Who Was Running The Country For Four Years

On Sunday it was revealed that President Joe Biden has an aggressive form of prostate cancer — a diagnosis that likely was made in the early days of his presidency. The revelation comes on top of the quasi-reckoning taking place about the cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline. While Democrats and the propaganda press try to obscure their roll in the cover-up, Republicans need to get their boots dirty for once and start figuring out who was acting as president for four years.

A Medical Doctor Dropped a Bombshell on MSNBC About Biden’s Cancer Diagnosis

After that statement, there are going to be congressional hearings. There’s got to be a reason because we have yet another Joe Biden medical issue that the Democrats covered up. After facing damning anecdotes about his deteriorating mental health, including the release of some of the Robert Hur tapes where it’s now for all to see that Joe Biden did forget when Beau died, we learned the former president has an aggressive prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones. It was an obvious pivot to dampen the incrimination stories of the Biden mental health cover-up. Instead, it only magnified this con job.

America’s liberal media will pay for covering up Biden’s incapacity

The fact that so many ‘serious’ US journalists denied what was obvious to anyone explains why trust in their reporting has collapsed

There are many causes of the breakdown of trust in Western societies. The breakdown of trust in politicians is easy to map. The breakdown of trust in scientific expertise can be pinpointed to a very specific moment – the Covid years. But the breakdown of trust in the media has been a long time coming and is already having long-term consequences.

In the UK just 31 per cent of the public say that they trust the media. In the US it is 39 per cent. Into that gap of trust a lot of charlatans and know-nothings can now roam. But the old media – or at least much of the old media – only has itself to blame.

“For Posterity’s Sake”: Why the Biden-Hur Tapes is a Virtual Racketeering Indictment

“For posterity’s sake.” Those words from President Joe Biden sum up the crushing impact of the leaked audiotapes from the interview between then-President Joe Biden and Special Counsel Robert Hur. Not only did they remove any serious doubt over Biden committing the federal crimes charged against President Donald Trump, but they also constituted what is akin to a political racketeering indictment against much of the Washington establishment.

The interview from Oct. 8-9, 2023, has long been sought by Congress, but was kept under wraps by the government even as Biden campaigned for a second term.

What Top Democrats Said Then, And Now, About Joe Biden’s Decline

The release of a new book by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson, detailing President Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline during his term in office, has landed like a bomb inside an already disoriented Democratic Party — sending shockwaves through its ranks.

Obtained by Newsweek ahead of its publication on May 20, Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again paints a stark portrait of a presidency in turmoil—and of a leader whose public image of control and clarity masked private struggles with memory, stamina and recognition.


Worse than imagined.
