For four years, Americans watched their president fumble through teleprompter readings, stumble on stairs, and forget the names of world leaders. We were gaslit. Plain and simple. We were told we were imagining things, that Joe Biden was sharp as ever, fully in command. Now, with Biden safely out of office and Trump back in the White House, his former aides are finally singing like canaries.

The House Oversight Committee’s new report on Biden’s “autopen presidency” reveals a brazen scheme of deception that goes far beyond typical political spin. These weren’t just loyal staffers putting on a brave face. They were willing accomplices in hiding a president’s decline while the country suffered the consequences. (Remember when questioning this got you banned from social media?)

From ‘The Daily Wire’:

Biden’s White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients told Oversight that the president increasingly forgot names — even names of people he saw regularly, as his presidency progressed. He also recalled working to “reduce the number of steps” Biden would take in order to decrease the risk that he might fall. Months prior to Biden’s exit from the presidential race, in early 2024, Zients had referred to Biden as “energized” and voiced his confidence in a successful reelection campaign.

This admission from Zients perfectly captures the disgusting duplicity at the heart of the Biden administration. Let that sink in for a moment. While privately managing a president who couldn’t remember names or navigate stairs safely, these same officials went on television to assure Americans that Biden was running circles around staffers half his age. But sure, we were the conspiracy theorists.

The Lies They Told

The depth of deception is staggering. Ron Klain, Biden’s former Chief of Staff, told MSNBC viewers that Biden was “great in meetings” just months before that disastrous June debate. Behind closed doors? He’s now admitting he screamed “We’re f***ed!” when Biden mumbled that infamous line about beating Medicare. The exact moment he knew the jig was up.

Anita Dunn defended Biden’s debate performance on air while privately acknowledging his voice was weak and his childhood stutter had conveniently reemerged after decades. Mike Donilon helped limit Biden’s travel because flying from Europe to Los Angeles was “a lot to ask.” Yet he continued defending Biden’s mental acuity at Harvard events even after leaving office.

These weren’t mistakes or wishful thinking. This was calculated deception of the American people. And the media? They played right along, attacking anyone who dared question the emperor’s new clothes.

Who Was Running America?

The most disturbing discovery from the Oversight Committee’s investigation is the question it raises. If Biden wasn’t capable of basic functions like remembering names or walking safely, who was actually making presidential decisions? The committee’s focus on the “autopen presidency” suggests that Biden’s signature—and perhaps his authority—were being wielded by unknown hands.

When Biden’s personal physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination, alarm bells should be ringing. What exactly does the president’s doctor fear might incriminate him? What medical information was hidden from the public that could potentially lead to criminal charges?

For four years, while America faced economic crisis, international chaos, and social upheaval, we had a president whose own staff knew he was declining rapidly. They chose power over patriotism. They were willing to risk another four years of this charade, pushing Biden toward reelection even as they reduced his steps and limited his travel. Only when the debate disaster made the truth undeniable did they finally let Biden step aside. Not for America’s sake, but to save their party’s electoral chances.

This wasn’t just dishonesty. It was a betrayal of constitutional governance and democratic accountability. The American people deserved to know the truth about their commander-in-chief’s capacity. Instead, we got coordinated lies from an administration more concerned with maintaining power than serving the nation. The damage they’ve done to public trust may take generations to repair. And don’t hold your breath waiting for anyone to be held accountable.
