The fundamental principle of American democracy rests on citizens’ right to know who is actually governing their nation. When that sacred trust is violated, it strikes at the very heart of our constitutional republic.
Throughout the Biden administration, concerned citizens and constitutional experts have raised alarm bells about the true state of affairs within the executive branch. Those warnings were often dismissed as partisan attacks or baseless speculation.
The reality, as it turns out, was far more troubling than even the skeptics imagined. Indeed, the extent of the deception has only now come to light. Sadly, it’s worse than we ever thought.
Biden Officials Knew He Was Senile From The Beginning
A bombshell investigation by The Wall Street Journal, drawing from nearly 50 interviews with administration officials and insiders, reveals that President Biden’s cognitive decline was apparent within months of him taking office. Shockingly, his own staff actively worked to conceal it from Americans since January of 2021.
“He has good days and bad days, and today was a bad day so we’re going to address this tomorrow,” one national security official admitted in the spring of 2021, according to the WSJ report. This stunning admission came as critical decisions about American security hung in the balance.
Even more concerning, Democratic lawmakers – members of Biden’s own party – are now coming forward with disturbing accounts of an administration in crisis. Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, revealed that Biden’s White House was “more insulated than most.” He added that there has been unprecedented restrictions on access to the president.
“I spoke with Obama on a number of occasions when he was president and I wasn’t even chairman of the committee,” Smith told the Journal, highlighting the extraordinary measures taken to limit Biden’s exposure.
The Deception Gets Worse
The pattern of deception extended to the highest levels of government. While Cabinet meetings under previous administrations were regular occurrences, Biden held just nine full cabinet meetings between 2021 and 2024. This is less than half of Barack Obama’s frequency and only a third of Donald Trump’s during their first terms.
Instead, a small circle of unelected staffers effectively managed presidential duties. This raised serious constitutional concerns about who was actually making critical decisions affecting national security and American interests.
Democratic Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut, the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, admitted that he had “no personal contact with this president.” This is an unprecedented situation for someone in his crucial oversight position.
Chaotic Afghanistan Withdrawal
The implications for national security became frighteningly clear during the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal. In the spring of 2021, as crucial decisions loomed, a national security briefing was postponed because Biden was having what staff termed “a bad day.” Months later, 13 American service members would lose their lives in the disastrous evacuation of Kabul.
The White House’s attempts to dismiss these revelations through spokesman Andrew Bates contradict the overwhelming evidence. Bates claims that Biden “speaks with members of his cabinet daily.” However, multiple high-ranking officials document a pattern of restricted access and carefully managed interactions.
The constitutional crisis this presents cannot be overstated. When unelected staffers manage a president’s schedule, control information flow, and effectively make decisions that should be made by the commander-in-chief, we have departed from the system of governance established by our Founding Fathers.
Americans deserve to know who is truly running their government. These revelations demand immediate congressional investigation and raise serious questions about the integrity of our democratic institutions. The systematic deception perpetrated by unelected officials represents more than a political scandal. It is a direct threat to the principles of constitutional governance and transparency.
As this story continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Constitutional order must be restored through full accountability for this unprecedented breach of public trust. Our republic depends on it.
