Sadly, Biden was oblivious to what was happening around him, but key staffers in his White House were certainly aware of his cognitive decline and they exploited his weakness to enact the most radical leftwing agenda in American history
Former President Joe Biden was suffering from a cognitive decline before he was elected to the White House in 2020. During his term in office, it was evident to every American that Biden was incapable of serving as President. Often, he was forgetful of names, even people serving in his cabinet, and unable to express his thoughts in a coherent way.
Biden’s White House staff covered up his mental incompetence by scheduling very few public events and never allowing him to have unscripted press conferences. On the rare occasions that Biden did address the press, the reporters and questions were selected in advance.
During his debate with President Donald Trump on June 27, 2024, Biden’s utter incompetence was displayed to the world. His aides could no longer hide his mental decline, and Biden was eventually forced to withdraw from the race. The rest is history and, thankfully, President Trump won again in November and is serving in the White House today.
Despite Trump’s victory, the nightmare of America having an incapacitated President is still with us today. Not since President Woodrow Wilson suffered a debilitating stroke in 1919, had the country’s real leader been so unclear.
In Wilson’s case, his wife, Edith Wilson, stepped forward to assume many presidential duties during his illness. In the case of Joe Biden, Americans still do not know who was making the decisions and leading the country.
During his presidential term, Biden did incredible damage to our nation with far-left policies such as his climate agenda and the open border. One of the major questions that remains unanswered is did Biden personally authorize these policies? Or did his progressive staff members advance this agenda without his approval?
At this point, the evidence is mounting that Biden and Americans were manipulated by radical White House staffers. For example, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) recently shared a chilling story about Biden’s lack of knowledge about an executive order he “signed” pausing liquified natural gas (LNG) exports, which was damaging to Louisiana’s economy.
After much insistence, Johnson was able to secure a meeting with Biden at the White House in January of 2024. To his surprise, when he arrived, he was greeted by not only Biden, but others, including the CIA Director and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Fortunately, at one point, Biden asked to meet with Johnson alone, so the House Speaker used the opportunity to complain about Biden’s LNG executive order. He said, “Sir, why did you pause LNG exports to Europe? Liquified natural gas is in great demand by our allies. Why would you do that?”
In response, Biden told him, “I didn’t do that.” Even when Johnson reminded Biden of the executive order, the President denied he signed it. Johnson left the meeting with a feeling of “fear and loathing.” He thought, “We are in serious trouble—who is running the country?”
The answer, Mr. Speaker, is that it was never Joe Biden. This has been confirmed in recent days with the brewing scandal about the autopen. In the New York Post, it was revealed by “a Biden White House source,” that an unnamed aide to the President “may have made unilateral determinations on what to auto-sign.”
If true, this aide would have “exceeded their authority” by having documents signed without Biden’s knowledge or approval. This informant told the New York Post that the powerful staffer “basically was the President” and that in the Biden White House there was “no clarity on who actually approved what.”
Attorney Mike Davis, Founder and President of the Article III Project, told the New York Post that “If an authorized autopen operator is using the autopen on a particular document against the President’s will, it’s clearly not valid.” Davis listed potential “criminal” charges including “forgery, obstruction of justice and fraud.”
The autopen scandal may have been happening throughout the Biden presidency. The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project discovered that on December 30, 2022, Biden “signed” pardons for six criminals using an autopen signature. At the time, Biden was in the U.S. Virgin Islands vacationing, even though the pardons were signed “City of Washington.”
The Oversight Project asked on social media the main question involved in the autopen investigation, “Who is behind?” the signatures and highlighted the stunning ramifications, “Whoever Controlled the Autopen Controlled the Presidency.”
The Attorney General of Missouri, Andrew Bailey, understands the significance of this scandal and is demanding the Department of Justice launch an investigation. According to Bailey, this probe should determine “whether President Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval. If true, these executive orders, pardons, and all other actions are unconstitutional and legally void.”
In a letter to Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, Bailey claims there are “profound reasons to suspect that Biden’s staff and political allies exploited his mental decline.” Bailey believes that this “would explain why the Biden administration’s orders were aggressively much farther to the left than any previous President.”
Along with the extreme agenda, the vast number of pardons must be questioned. On Biden’s last day in office, an autopen was used to sign all seven of the pardons that he issued. It is a legitimate question to ask, “Was he aware of these pardons?”
On Friday, in his address to the Department of Justice, President Trump said the Biden autopen controversy was “a big deal.” He said, “you don’t use (an) autopen. Number one, it’s disrespectful to the office. Number two, maybe it’s not even valid because, you know, who’s getting him to sign? He had no idea what the hell he was doing.”
Sadly, Biden was oblivious to what was happening around him, but key staffers in his White House were certainly aware of his cognitive decline and they exploited his weakness to enact the most radical leftwing agenda in American history. In the process, crimes were possibly committed in a scandal that makes Watergate look like child’s play.
