Months in early 2024 Conservatives like me were trying to sound the alarm to reduce the physical and mental health of President Joe Biden. It was obvious that he was not ill.
Yet the Democrats and a large part of the inherited media ignored this reality and even attacked those of us who were ready to tell the truth. They claimed that we were making fairy tales and spreading unjustified conspiracy theories.
Now the story has changed dramatically. Journalists publish books and news articles that detail Biden’s poor health, but also an orchestrated cover in the White House. According to one of the books, even one of the closest former Biden assistants now admits that the chief commander was “outside him” last year when he tried to run for re -election.
This is one of the biggest scandals of my adult life. We now know that Biden’s internal circle deliberately misled the US people in the election year about the current president’s ability to endure a second term.
We also know that journalists were too passive, at best, reporting the revelations that Americans need to know before the election.

“Biden can die in the office”
Politico announced last week that at least four books will be published in the next few weeks that provide new details about the unsuccessful health of Biden and the conspiracy to conceal it.
One of these books “Fighting: In the Largest Battle of the White House,” by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes on NBC News, it includes incredible details of Biden’s poor health while he was still in office.
The authors report that democratic leaders are worried that Biden cannot win other elections and has “conversations with grief”, discussing his potential withdrawal from the race back in 2023.
Biden retired, but until July 2024, after his catastrophic debate against Donald Trump.
The mostocuted part of the “fight” is the revelation that Vice President Kamala Harris’s assistants were so concerned about the president’s health that they “strategized Biden’s ability to die in service.” The authors report that Jamal Simmons, the Director of Communication of the Vice President, composed the “list of death of death” by federal judges who could swear in Harris as a president if Biden died.
Ides Biden “believed what they wanted to believe in”
In “Uncharted: How Trump defeats Biden, Harris and the chances of the biggest campaign in history,” Chris Whiple describes in detail the serious mental and physical decline of Biden.
“I have fresh hour by hour, every day of Biden’s last days, and obviously his decline is a major part of history,” Wiple told Politico.
Following the extensive reporting, Whiple, a former producer of “60 minutes”, came to the conclusion that the Democrats were in deep denials about Biden’s condition: “I accidentally think that we call it” hiding “is simplified. I think he’s unknown and more worried than this one.
President Joe Biden delivers his goodbye to the nation from the White House Oval Cabinet on January 15, 2025.
Ron Klein, a longtime assistant to Biden and his former White House chief, helped the president prepare for a fateful debate with Trump last year. Klein told Whiple that Biden “doesn’t know what Trump says and can’t understand what’s up -back.”
Klein also described how Biden “did not really understand what his argument for inflation was” and “there is nothing to say about a second term other than the completion of work.”

The Americans deserve better
Biden not only applied for re -election, left and handed over to Harris. He was a sedentary president who was in a serious decline and surrounded by people who knew him but was silent.
Review of the Washington Post of “Fight” notes, “so much fresh materials, so many bruised ego, so many results to settle. … each of them saw that the remains are coming, of course the train got out of the station, but no one will listen. Now, at the end, they can say anything.”

But the Americans deserved to tell them the truth at least a year ago, not months after the 2024 election, the fact that they were not only a scandal for the Democrats but also of a large part of the inherited media.
Democratic internal persons knew that fears about the president’s ability to continue to serve was serious. The journalists who covered the president had sufficient evidence to assume that these concerns were valid.
Only now, a year too late, finally tell us the truth.
