A Shadow Presidency: The Greatest Scandal in American History

Biden’s Cognitive Decline Undermined American Constitutional Order

The fog of deception is finally lifting, revealing what many Americans suspected all along – the Biden administration orchestrated perhaps the greatest constitutional crisis in modern American history. As more evidence emerges about President Biden's cognitive decline and the extensive use of an autopen to sign critical legislation and pardons, we're forced to confront a troubling reality: was America being led by the individual sworn into the Presidency, or by an unelected cabal operating in the shadows?

The Manufactured Illusion of Leadership

For years, anyone who questioned Joe Biden's cognitive fitness was dismissed as a conspiracy theorist and sidelined by the mainstream media. But now, even the gatekeepers are coming to terms with the truth.

In their new book Original Sin, CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson lay bare the extent of the cover-up inside the Biden Administration — and admit their own complicity. Perhaps most telling is Tapper’s 2020 interview with Lara Trump. Now, he is publicly conceding he was wrong in how he conducted the interview and revealed he has called her to privately apologize.

It’s a stunning reversal from a so-called “prominent reporter”.

Yet, as the curtain falls on this administration, even former allies are admitting what was painfully obvious to millions of Americans – Joe Biden was not cognitively fit to execute the duties of the presidency for significant portions of his term.

The evidence is overwhelming and undeniable. According to a new Secret Service whistleblower, President Biden frequently got lost in the mornings in his closet at the White House residence.

Special Counsel Robert Hur's February 2024 interview and newly released audio reveals a President struggling with basic memory functions, unable to recall when his son died or when he served as Vice President. These weren't minor lapses but fundamental cognitive failures that call into question his capacity to fulfill the constitutional duties of Commander-in-Chief.

How can a President who can’t recall key details of his own life be trusted to make life-or-death decisions for 330 million Americans? The answer, apparently, was that in many cases, he simply didn't.

Maybe the mishandling of classified documents—found in his Delaware garage or a D.C. storage unit across from a Chinese restaurant—wasn’t just about Joe.

Maybe the real story hasn’t even begun to be told.

Remember the Parkinson’s Specialist at the White House?

Remember when it came to light that a Parkinson’s disease specialist had made over a dozen visits to the White House? The official response? “Nothing to see here”.

If we were still living under the standards of the mainstream media, we’d be expected to nod along and accept that answer without question.

But that moment marked a turning point. Even some of the most loyal defenders in the press began to squirm. The story didn’t just whisper concern—it shouted it.

The attempts to spin it into bureaucratic normalcy only made things worse. The Press Secretary’s line? That the doctor was simply part of “standard protocol” and could have been treating “any number of people” in the White House Medical Unit.

That’s the kind of non-answer that starts to sound like a siren. You don’t need to be a conspiracy theorist to recognize when the deflections stop adding up and start pointing to something being deliberately buried.

This wasn't merely an administrative convenience; it represents a fundamental subversion of presidential authority and accountability.

The Constitutional Crisis No One's Talking About

When our Founding Fathers established the office of the presidency, they envisioned a single individual wielding executive power – accountable to the people through elections and to Congress through constitutional checks and balances.

What they never imagined was a puppet presidency, where unelected staffers, family members, and political operatives would make decisions while maintaining the façade of an engaged president.

The use of an autopen on critical documents isn't just a procedural footnote – it's evidence of a constitutional crisis.

If Biden wasn't cognitively capable of understanding or authorizing the documents bearing his "signature," then who was actually making these decisions? Who was the de facto President of the United States?

Former President Trump has rightly questioned the validity of pardons signed by autopen, arguing they should be considered void if Biden lacked the mental capacity to authorize them.

This isn't mere political posturing – it's a legitimate constitutional concern that legal scholars will debate for generations.

What is Popular Sovereignty?

What too many forget is that our elected officials aren’t supposed to be an untouchable ruling class—they’re public servants in a Republic built on popular sovereignty, where the people hold the ultimate power.

The democratic process exists so we can entrust our rights to representatives who serve us, not themselves. Their legitimacy hinges on our consent and our ability to hold them accountable at the ballot box.

When politicians start acting like unaccountable elites—or when citizens stop demanding accountability—that’s when self-inflicted crises erupt and the very foundation of our Republic begins to crack.

The Modern Edith Wilson

The unfolding story of Biden's cognitive decline and the extraordinary measures taken to conceal it represents what may well be "the greatest scandal in American history”. It calls into question the legitimacy of specific policies, decisions, and the constitutional foundation of an entire presidency.

History offers us troubling parallels to our current situation.

The only other scenario that may come out on top of the current situation would be that of Edith and Woodrow Wilson. The comparison between Biden and Wilson is particularly striking and deserves serious examination.

After Wilson suffered a debilitating stroke in 1919, his wife Edith effectively became the gatekeeper to the presidency, deciding which matters would reach the President and essentially running the executive branch behind the scenes.

The First Female President

In the aftermath of President Woodrow Wilson’s devastating stroke in October 1919, the American public was plunged into a carefully orchestrated fog of deception. Wilson was left paralyzed and barely able to speak, yet the White House, his doctors, and top officials launched a full-scale disinformation campaign, insisting he was only suffering from “nervous exhaustion”.

For over a year, the true severity of his condition was kept secret—not just from the citizens, but from Vice President Marshall and much of the Cabinet, who were either deliberately excluded or fed misleading updates.

While Wilson remained president in name, the machinery of government was commandeered by his wife, Edith Wilson, and a tight circle of trusted advisors.

The result?

A shadow presidency that bulldozed the principles of transparency and constitutional order, concentrating executive power in unelected hands during a moment of national uncertainty.

The political and constitutional crisis that followed was as dramatic as it was unprecedented. Senior officials, including Secretary of State Robert Lansing, pressed for clarity on presidential succession, but Edith Wilson, with the backing of the president’s physician, Admiral Grayson, refused to yield.

She managed the flow of paperwork, screened visitors, and effectively ran the executive branch, all under the guise of protecting her husband’s recovery. Vice President Marshall, wary of igniting a political firestorm, hesitated to assert his rightful role.

Thus, for more than a year, the United States was governed not by its elected leader, but by a first lady acting as de facto chief executive—a constitutional sleight of hand that set a dangerous precedent for secrecy, unchecked power, and the subversion of democratic accountability.

The Puppet Masters Behind the Curtain: Who Was Really Running the White House?

Evidence suggests that Jill Biden, along with a small circle of advisors including Hunter Biden, may have wielded extraordinary influence in the Biden White House.

The "fake doctor and the son who has been plagued with addiction" became critical decision-makers in an administration that was rapidly losing its constitutional legitimacy.

Is this the constitutional order our founders envisioned? Absolutely not.

The presidency was never meant to be a family business or a cover for unelected bureaucrats to implement their agenda without accountability to the American people.

Unfortunately, power, corrupts, absolutely.

The Doctor Who Wasn't and the Son Who Shouldn't Have Been

Jill Biden, whose doctorate in education (not medicine) never qualified her for any role in governance, nonetheless appears to have played a central role in managing her husband's affairs and public appearances.

Meanwhile, Hunter Biden – a man whose personal struggles with addiction and treasonous levels of corruption that has been well-documented – reportedly gained significant influence over the “Biden Crime Family” as his father's cognitive abilities declined.

Most fundamentally, we must restore respect for the constitutional order.

Consider this: Joe Biden granted his son a blanket, unconditional pardon spanning eleven years—a move without precedent in modern American history. Typically, a pardon is issued in relation to a specific crime or set of charges. Yet Hunter Biden received a sweeping pardon, the likes of which we’ve only seen once before—when Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon for actions taken while serving as President, and even then, it only covered a five-year span.

Hunter’s pardon? It conveniently covers his recent federal convictions and, yes, keeps him out of prison. But Joe didn’t stop there—and that forces us to ask the question: Why?

Why was it necessary to grant his son immunity for a time period that begins during Joe’s vice presidency—an era that now, beyond reasonable doubt, overlaps with verified evidence of systemic corruption?

Need I say more? Actually, yes—because this is the Biden Crime Family we’re talking about. And Joe didn’t just shield his son. He handed out similar pardons to other close family members—none of whom have even been charged with federal crimes. So again—why?

Is Joe Biden afraid Trump will use the same lawfare tactics his administration deployed? If that’s the case, he’s effectively admitting guilt. Because if you did nothing wrong, why the panic?

This whole thing reeks of cover-up, fear, and guilt. Biden knows what a second Trump term could expose: a trail of corruption, profiteering, and abuse of power that implicates him and his inner circle. They tried to imprison Trump—and failed. Now they’re terrified of the boomerang.

Let’s not forget, we were told 2020 was the “most secure election in American history.” Anyone who questioned it was mocked, silenced, or labeled extreme. And now, even the media is starting to admit what they once called ‘crazy’ wasn’t so crazy after all.

So really—can you rule anything out?

There are messages on Hunter’s laptop that barely made headlines but paint the portrait of someone willing to sell out the country for a dime bag of crack.

The way he talks about his stepmother suggests she may have played a deeper role in the corruption than most realize.

She plays the part of the sweet, blonde educator with a motherly image—but it’s always the ones you least suspect, isn’t it?

If these people show no regard for the Constitution, no moral compass, and no hesitation to bend the system for power—then what’s stopping them from stealing an election?

I firmly believe the 2020 election still warrants serious scrutiny—as one of many necessary steps toward restoring public trust and constitutional integrity.

The presidency is not a prize to be captured by any means necessary. It's a sacred trust, established by our founders to ensure that executive power is exercised by a single individual directly accountable to the American people.

As more details emerge, Americans of all political persuasions should demand full transparency and accountability.

This isn't about partisan advantage – it's about preserving the integrity of our constitutional republic for future generations.

Who Was Really Running the Show? The Rise of Biden’s Gatekeepers

Let’s pull back the velvet rope and take a hard look at the real power brokers who shielded Joe Biden from scrutiny and, by extension, ran the country from behind the scenes.

Rather than digging into the qualifications of the individuals being hired—or even questioning the motivations behind those choices—NBC News ran a headline on November 17, 2020, that read: “3 Latinos among first chosen for Biden White House senior staff.” That was the story. Not their experience. Not their competence. Just their identity.

By then, the executive branch had become fully intoxicated with the dogma of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. And the media? Too giddy with symbolic victories to bother asking real questions.

While the country needed sober leadership, we got virtue signals. And instead of holding power accountable, the press cheered from the sidelines, blinded by identity checkboxes and hashtags.

The Shadow Axis: Unelected, Unaccountable, Unchecked

The so-called ‘politburo’ or better phrased as “Biden’s Brain Trust”—Ron Klain, Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti, Bruce Reed, and Anthony Bernal—weren’t just advisors; they were the Praetorian Guard, controlling access, messaging, and, crucially, the flow of information to and from the President.

These individuals—along with a handful of loyalists and family members—became the de facto decision-makers, filtering out “bad news” and insulating Biden from the consequences of his own administration’s actions.

It’s shocking but not surprising when you learn that Biden staffers felt justified in taking “undemocratic” measures to ensure the president remained in power.

What’s sickening goes beyond the cover-up. It’s the smugness, the presumptuous arrogance that is so palpable when these people try to explain away the inexcusable.

One insider reportedly said—paraphrasing here—“I can’t believe how easy it was to fool the media and the public.”That’s not just unethical. It’s a gut punch to the very foundation of a functioning republic.

Forget the cabinet, this group’s sole mission was to keep the illusion alive.

Ron Klain

Biden’s chief fixer and “handler-in-chief”.

Klain was more than just Chief of Staff—he was the gatekeeper, the final voice on policy, personnel, and every strategic move.

By the time he exited in 2023, he had already seen the writing on the wall. There's a video of his last day, showing hundreds of staffers clapping him out like Derek Jeter taking his final lap at Yankee Stadium—fitting for someone who ran the show from behind the curtain.

Mike Donilon

Known as Biden’s conscience and “narrative architect”, Donilon played the role of surrogate mind.

He filled in the blanks when the President’s memory failed him, crafting messaging and appearances with surgical precision.

But the true kicker? Donilon reportedly demanded a $4 million payout to leave the White House and rejoin the campaign from the outside. Public service, indeed.

Steve Ricchetti

The regime’s strategist-in-residence and “mouthpiece mechanic”.

Ricchetti had his hands on every message that came out of the White House, making sure the media, Democratic politicians, and surrogates all sang from the same hymnal.

If you ever wondered why the same talking points magically appeared across CNN, MSNBC, and late-night shows in unison—thank Ricchetti. Think of him as the administration’s very own propaganda minister.

Bruce Reed

Things took a strange turn with Bruce Reed, the administration’s so-called policy oracle, whose guidance often resembled vague fortune-telling more than serious strategy.

Reed was also responsible for prepping Joe Biden ahead of what many consider the worst presidential debate performance in modern history—earning Bruce the more fitting title of “debate fluffer”.

Not only was he unqualified to lead debate prep, but he also installed his own daughter as Biden’s daily scheduler. Was that representative of his judgement or yet another clue as to how this cover up was thought out and orchestrated.

Anthony Bernal

Jill Biden’s right hand and her “personal enforcer”. Bernal officially served as Jill Biden’s Chief of Staff, but inside the White House, he was known more for his erratic behavior than his competence — reportedly swinging from praise to verbal abuse within seconds.

One aide memorably summed him up by saying, “He’s the last person I’d invite to my funeral.” Widely disliked among staff, Bernal was the subject of multiple sexual harassment complaints and was considered a central figure in what many described as a hostile work environment.

His presence wasn’t just tolerated — it was protected in spite of many describing how he was largely feared by staffers and aides. Others are noting that he “wielded an absurd amount of power”, and keep in mind that we are talking about the First Lady’s Chief of Staff.

But Jill kept him close, like a junkyard dog, which speaks volumes about the Biden family’s true priorities — and just how hollow their claims of supporting women really are.

Honorable Mention

Jen O’Malley Dillon and Annie Tomasini, both serving as Deputy Chiefs of Staff in the Biden White House, are deserving of honorable mention. While there isn’t yet conclusive evidence to suggest they engaged in overt collusion to the same extent as others mentioned, there is certainly enough to place them within close proximity to the core power circle.

Given their positions and involvement, it seems only a matter of time before their culpability comes into sharper focus.

Family & Loyalists: The Real Presidents

Joe Biden didn’t have a team—this was his protective ring. Their goal? Preserve the Biden brand at all costs. Cabinet officials were sidelined. Congressional oversight was stonewalled. Dissenters were frozen out. Even high-level insiders were kept in the dark about Biden’s cognitive condition.

In preparation for the Trump debate, Bruce Reed brought in none other than Steven Spielberg to assist—yes, Hollywood’s top director, recruited to apply cinematic gloss to a political disaster. If it sounds surreal, that’s because it is.

Kamala Harris: Joe’s VEEP

There’s a persistent myth that Kamala Harris was being quietly groomed to take the reins after a hypothetical 2024 Biden victory — a narrative repeated so often it started to sound believable. But it never held water.

Watching Harris in action evokes uncanny parallels to the fictional Selina Meyer from VEEP — all style, no substance, and chronically out of her depth.

From day one, Kamala was a political misfire: a candidate her own party rejected in the primaries and whose approval ratings have remained stubbornly underwater. Even she knew a future presidential run was dead on arrival. So why stay? Why run? Two words: optics & power.

Kamala played ball and unknowingly helped prevent what could have escalated into a constitutional crisis if Democrats acknowledged what we all saw during Biden's presidency.

The situation echoed the final chapter of Woodrow Wilson’s presidency, when his wife assumed the Presidency in secret to avoid the shame of a resignation. In both cases, optics and power took precedence over duty to country.

But unlike 1919, we now have the 25th Amendment — a safeguard that went conspicuously unused.

Kamala Harris’s decision to conspire to prop up a visibly diminished President wasn’t about public service; it was political self-preservation cloaked in identity politics.

Biden clearly stated his choice of Kamala as his running mate was not based on her qualifications: he was looking for someone who merely checked a box.

Jill Biden: Shadow President

Jill Biden wasn’t just the First Lady — she was the Chief of Staff, unofficial National Security Advisor, personal scheduler, and….(drum roll please) the shadow President.

Keep in mind—Joe Biden’s White House employed 15 staffers in the “scheduling department” alone, draining $1.2 million per year from the taxpayer. Why would she ever need to be so deeply involved in this of all things? Because it wasn’t ‘scheduling’ — that’s shielding. That’s not administration — that’s orchestration.

Frankly, I almost feel bad for the woman. Imagine the mental gymnastics required to run public cover for a husband whose cognitive decline has become the worst-kept secret in Washington. And when I say “open secret,” I’m talking about the kind of blatantly obvious denial that everyone sees but no one says out loud — like the neighborhood dad who’s clearly gay, hasn’t touched his wife in a decade, yet she plays along like they’re still living some suburban dream on Wisteria Lane.

It’s theater. Bad theater. And the First Lady? She’s stage-managing a national charade—not out of love, but out of political ambition.

She ran interference, tightly controlling access to the President, managing every minute of his day, and sitting in on high-level Cabinet meetings as if she were an elected official. Like a modern-day Edith Wilson, Jill saw herself as the guardian of her husband’s legacy — even if that meant shielding him from accountability or hiding his condition from the American people.

That image of her leafing through classified documents sitting at the President’s desk on Air Force One (with Joe’s inscribed Presidential Air Force One jacket conveniently draped over the chair she's sitting in), documents meant for the Commander-in-Chief, speaks volumes. The best part is how much she shoved it in all of our faces — I mean the caption for the Facebook post was “prepping for the G7”.

Have you ever heard of a First Lady needing what looks like a thousand page binder to prep for a G7? The answer is no, it’s not a thing.

She didn’t want to give up the power. She enjoyed it. And she made damn sure nobody came close to removing her husband from office — even if it meant subverting the chain of command.

Jill Biden didn’t just support the President—she became the Presidency.

While Joe stumbled through teleprompter scripts and staged photo-ops, Jill was running the West Wing like a substitute principal who suddenly got handed the keys to the Pentagon. Far from the ceremonial First Lady of tradition, she was a daily gatekeeper of the so-called leader of the free world. She wasn’t elected, wasn’t confirmed, and yet there she was—leafing through classified documents, attending high-level Cabinet meetings, and dictating the President’s schedule like it was her classroom syllabus.

Why was the entire federal bureaucracy bending the knee to a community college instructor with a doctorate in education? Because she controlled access to the President. Because she made the decisions he couldn’t. And because—let’s be honest—Joe Biden wasn’t calling the shots. Jill was.

Sound familiar? It should. Think Edith Wilson 2.0—the difference? Back then, we didn’t have the 25th Amendment. Now we do—and it was ignored.

Ask yourself: What kind of republic hands over executive power to the spouse of a compromised commander-in-chief?

Answer: One that’s lost its constitutional compass.

According to Original Sin, Jill was at the center of the ‘politburo’. Cabinet members were sidelined. Senior officials were blocked from engaging with the President unless cleared by her first. One insider said trying to speak with Biden meant “getting past Dr. Biden’s secret service wall.” That’s not democracy. That’s monarchy in a pantsuit.

Her influence wasn’t just organizational—it was ideological. She was the one keeping Joe in the race. She was the one pushing back against calls for him to step aside. She was the one who insisted “he’s fine” while the rest of America watched him shuffle, mumble, and wander offstage. Jill wasn’t protecting her husband—she was protecting the power they’d seized.

Because once you taste it, you never want to let go.

She campaigned, she conferred, she commanded—and she made damn sure no one got close enough to see the full extent of his decline. Why? Because if they had, the charade would’ve been over. The whole rotten edifice would’ve collapsed. And maybe that’s the point.

Let’s not sugarcoat it: We were governed by a group the American people never elected, who operated with the confidence of someone who knew no one in the media would dare challenge her. And why would they? She checked all the right boxes: educator, wife, mother, power behind the throne.

But patriotism isn’t about who looks good on a magazine cover. It’s about principle. And the principle is this: power must come from the people—not from marriage, not from manipulation, and certainly not from a spouse-turned-shadow-president.

Jill Biden wasn’t guarding Joe’s legacy. She was burying the truth.

Hunter Biden: Shadow Vice President

Now to the most jaw-dropping, disgraceful player in this entire saga: Hunter Biden.

I say this as someone who’s been through addiction — I get it. But Hunter wasn’t recovering. He was relapsing, repeatedly, all while operating within spitting distance of the most powerful office in the world.

The contents of his laptop, which I’ve reviewed, tell a story of someone still deeply in the grips of addiction, self-deception, and moral rot.

Yet in 2023 and 2024, Hunter Biden was reportedly spending more time in the White House than many Cabinet officials. He sat in on military briefings without a security clearance. He took meetings in the Oval Office. He allegedly made financial decisions on his father’s behalf, bypassing Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen entirely.

This is the same man whose public rap sheet includes acting as Joe Biden’s international bagman, leaving a trail of corruption, betrayal, and exploitation — from dating his deceased brother’s widow to getting her addicted to crack.

And let’s not forget the White House cocaine incident. The press played dumb, the administration deflected, and the public was expected to accept Biden’s claim that Hunter is “the smartest person I know” — and move on without asking questions.

If you ask me, the real story still unraveling is right here with the crackhead. The deeper we dig, the more layers we peel back from this rotten onion.

Consider this: Hunter Biden was reportedly circumventing the Treasury Secretary — a move that would require serious confidence and backing. To me, that suggests our generation’s Andy Warhol, a.k.a. R. Hunter Biden (as he’s known in the art world), may very well have been selling last-minute death row pardons to the highest bidder.

National Security for Sale: The Biden Family’s Foreign Entanglements

The consequences of this coordinated deception go far beyond political gamesmanship.

The House Oversight Committee’s investigation uncovered a decade-long pattern of influence peddling, with Biden family members leveraging Joe Biden’s public office for personal gain—often with America’s adversaries. Evidence points to business deals with entities linked to the Chinese Communist Party, Russia, and Ukraine, raising the specter of blackmail, extortion, and compromised national security.

The Six-Minute Nuclear Nightmare Scenario

The most chilling aspect of this entire charade isn't just the constitutional crisis it represents – it's the genuine national security threat it posed.

As Commander-in-Chief, the President has sole authority to authorize the use of nuclear weapons. In a crisis scenario, they might have as little as six minutes to respond to an incoming nuclear attack.

What happens when that President is experiencing cognitive decline or is incapacitated?

This isn't an academic question – it was our lived reality. For years, America's adversaries could observe what the mainstream media refused to acknowledge.

They saw a Commander-in-Chief who frequently appeared confused, who struggled to complete sentences, and who required extensive coaching just to make it through basic public appearances.

We should count ourselves fortunate that hostile powers didn't take greater advantage of this vulnerability.

The fact that America wasn't attacked during this period of presidential weakness isn't a vindication of the Biden administration – it's a testament to how lucky we were to avoid catastrophe.

The Media Cover-Up: Obstruction, Censorship, and National Security Time Bomb

How did we reach this point? How was a president with obvious cognitive issues able to maintain the façade for so long? The answer lies in the unprecedented media collaboration in hiding Biden's condition from the American people.

The mainstream media didn't just fail to report on Biden's cognitive decline – they actively worked to conceal it.

Press conferences were carefully stage-managed. Questions were pre-screened. Biden's public appearances were limited and tightly controlled. When gaffes or concerning episodes occurred, they were downplayed or simply ignored by supposedly objective journalists.

Only now, as Biden exits the stage, are we seeing limited admissions that yes, perhaps there were concerns about his mental acuity all along.

This represents a fundamental betrayal of the media's role in a democracy – to inform citizens about the fitness of their leaders, not to protect political allies from scrutiny.

The Great Wall of Secrecy: How the Biden Team Stonewalled Oversight

As congressional investigators dug into the Biden family’s foreign business entanglements, the administration’s strategy was simple: obstruct, delay, and deny.

The Treasury Department refused to release over 150 Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) tied to Biden family finances, despite decades of precedent and formal congressional requests. Banks stonewalled, citing the need for subpoenas, while the White House ignored document requests and hid behind executive privilege.

But the cover-up didn’t stop at the White House door. Big Tech and the legacy media became willing accomplices, suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story and labeling any discussion of Biden family corruption as “Russian disinformation”.

Twitter locked out the New York Post, Facebook throttled the story, and intelligence officials—now moonlighting as TV pundits—ran interference for the campaign.

That quote right there is a glaring example of NPR citing how the Hunter Biden Laptop story was a waste of time — an assertion the outlet has since stated they were mistaken about.

This unprecedented censorship was about protecting Joe Biden’s reputation and rigging the information environment to ensure the American people never saw the full picture before heading to the polls.

The Censorship Complex: What Did They Know and When Did They Know It?

The timeline of deception now demands investigation. Did Democratic Party leaders know about Biden's cognitive issues before the 2020 election?

Yes, the 2020 election in addition to the 2024 election.

Did they knowingly put forward a candidate they suspected would not be able to fulfill his duties for a full term?

These questions aren't partisan attacks – they're essential inquiries into the integrity of our electoral process.

Many observers now suspect that Biden's candidacy was always intended to be transitional, a Trojan horse to install an administration with policies far more progressive than what most Americans would have supported if presented honestly.

The recent revelation of Biden's cancer diagnosis adds yet another layer to this deception – was this too being concealed from the American people?

The Legitimacy Question That Won't Go Away

The mounting evidence of Biden's cognitive decline inevitably reopens questions about the legitimacy of the 2020 election itself. If voters had been fully informed about Biden's mental state, would they have made different choices?

If the media had reported honestly on his condition rather than running interference, would the outcome have been the same?

These aren't comfortable questions, but they're necessary ones.

Democracy depends on informed consent.

When crucial information is withheld from voters – especially information as fundamental as whether a candidate is mentally capable of executing the duties of office – the very foundation of democratic legitimacy is undermined.

The justification offered by some on the left – that the "threat to our country's future was at stake" – reveals a disturbing willingness to "blur the lines" of ethical behavior and transparency in service of partisan goals.

This ends-justify-the-means rationalization is antithetical to democratic principles and represents a dangerous path for our republic.

The Autopen Presidency: A Legal and Ethical Minefield

The revelation that an autopen was regularly used to sign Biden's name to legislation, executive orders, and even pardons raises profound legal questions.

If Biden was not cognitively present enough to understand or authorize these actions, can they be considered legally binding?

Consider the parallel to contract law.

A contract signed by someone who lacks the mental capacity to understand its terms is generally considered voidable. Similarly, if a will is changed late in someone's life when they're in cognitive decline – particularly if the changes benefit caretakers rather than family members – courts often view such changes with extreme skepticism. Meaning, you stand on solid ground to contest the will.

Why should the standards be any lower for the presidency?

If Biden lacked the capacity to understand the documents he was "signing" (or that were being signed on his behalf), how can those signatures be considered valid expressions of presidential authority?

The Constitutional Crisis Nobody Wanted to Address

The 25th Amendment was created specifically to address presidential incapacity. Yet despite mounting evidence of Biden's cognitive decline, it was never invoked.

This represents a failure of constitutional duty by Cabinet officials who are obligated to ensure the President is capable of discharging his duties.

The founders feared centralized power for this exact reason. What we have now isn’t just a distortion of their design — it’s a betrayal of the very principles they fought to establish.

The question is no longer whether we’ve gone too far. It’s whether we have the courage to claw our way back.

Was political expediency allowed to override constitutional obligation?

The evidence increasingly suggests it was. Cabinet members and White House officials who observed Biden's decline firsthand had a patriotic duty to invoke the 25th Amendment if they believed he was no longer capable of serving. Their failure to do so represents a profound betrayal of their oaths of office.

The Founders’ Executive Intent: A Presidency of Purpose, Not Power

The Executive Branch wasn’t always part of the American equation.

Under the Articles of Confederation, the United States wasn’t so united at all—thirteen sovereign states operated like rival nations, each hoarding power, bickering over borders, and economically undercutting one another. There was no president. No central enforcement. Just chaos wrapped in parchment.

It was only during the Second Continental Congress, as the smoke of revolution lingered, that the framers realized what was missing: a spine. So, at the Constitutional Convention, they wrote a new blueprint. A stronger, smarter federal government with three co-equal branches—and for the first time, an executive. But let’s be crystal clear: this new presidency was never meant to rule.

It was meant to lead.

The President’s role was conceived as limited but effective—not to micromanage daily life with alphabet agencies, notto be a king in a suit, and certainly not to weaponize bureaucracy against citizens. The President was meant to act quickly in moments of crisis—interstate disputes, diplomacy, defense, border security. Period.

The Battle Over the Bank

The founding debates were fierce. Jefferson vs. Hamilton—two titans of vision, but polar opposites in scope. Jefferson, the intellectual purist and liberty-first statesman, feared that too much federal power would birth a new monarchy cloaked in republicanism. He resisted taxation, tariffs, and central banking. No surprise from the man who called the Boston Tea Party “a signal to the world that Americans would not be ruled by faceless power.”

Hamilton, brilliant but brash, saw things differently. As the first Secretary of the Treasury, he pushed for a strong national bank, a federal tax system, and centralized economic authority. Yes, he wanted to pay off war debts—but he also wanted to plant the seeds of a permanent federal apparatus.

The infamous “dinner table bargain” between Jefferson and Hamilton known as The Compromise of 1790 — a capital in the South for a Treasury in the North—was one of Jefferson’s greatest regrets. He admitted as much before his death.

The Jefferson-Hamilton Irony

Jefferson feared a federal machine. Hamilton feared a fractured nation. We needed both—and didn’t know it yet.

The founders had a tragic brilliance. They knew man’s nature—his vanity, his lust for power, his inability to govern himself once he governs others. They’d studied Caesar and Cromwell. They knew the lesson: once power is seized, it’s rarely surrendered.

This is why George Washington remains the ultimate exception—the general who could’ve ruled like a monarch, but chose to walk away. He set the standard by refusing a third term, showing the world what true American leadershiplooked like: service over self.

Why Originalism is so Important Today

Fast-forward to the present. That vision has been betrayed.

What was meant to be a lean, responsive federal government is now a bloated, unaccountable administrative state—a bureaucratic beast with tentacles in every household, every industry, and every pocketbook. Instead of guarding liberty, it suffocates it. Instead of promoting order, it enforces obedience.

And let’s not dance around the obvious: the last administration didn’t just defy Constitutional intent—it mocked it.

What we saw was not a President in charge—it was a shell. A hollowed-out figurehead propped up by unelected advisors, shielded by staffers, and stage-managed like a nursing home puppet show. Governance by committee. Rule by proxy. Constitutional Republic in name only.

Riddle me this:

What do you call a government where the people don’t know who’s really in charge?
We used to call it a monarchy. Now we call it “the Biden Administration.”

Certainly. Here is your passage enhanced and optimized to align with the tone, structure, and rhetorical edge of the preceding section—while maintaining historical depth, patriotic fervor, and sharp insight:

A Constitution Misinterpreted

The genius of The Constitution—and the visionary brilliance of its framers—is precisely why this Republic has endured where so many others have crumbled.

America has faced wars, depressions, assassinations, civil unrest, foreign interference, and domestic decay—and yet, we still stand. Not because we are invincible, but because we were built on an indestructible idea: that power must be restrained, not worshipped. That liberty must be protected, not rationed. That governance is a duty, not a crown.

And even now, as we watch bureaucrats twist the executive pen like a dagger—signing away sovereignty with a flick of the quill—we’ve managed to survive, and in some ways, even prevail. That alone speaks to the unshakable foundationlaid by the Founders.

The Little Known Tale of Napoleon

When Napoleon Bonaparte sold the Louisiana Territory to Thomas Jefferson in 1803, the conventional wisdom was simple—he needed money for war against Britain. He feared British incursion into North America. He was short on ships, time, and resources. All true.

But that’s not the whole story. There was another motive—a darker one.

Napoleon, the master tactician and imperial lion, was deeply resentful of a young Republic across the Atlantic. Why? Because it had accomplished what he never could—it had forged liberty, then voluntarily relinquished power.

George Washington Haunted Him

To Napoleon, the idea that a victorious general could walk away from supreme command was not just foreign—it was offensive. The French Revolution had failed to produce a Washington. Instead, it produced chaos, blood, and—ultimately—Napoleon himself.

He believed France wanted a Washington. But what it got was an Emperor. So when the chance came to sell an unmanageable swath of land to a fledgling America, he did it not just out of pragmatism—but out of spite.

He wagered that doubling America’s size would break it. That it would fracture under the weight of its own ambition. That no country could govern such geographic vastness.

What Napoleon Didn’t Understand About America

Napoleon understood war, but he didn’t understand America. He didn’t grasp that our strength did not lie in armies or acreage—it lay in the architecture of our Republic. In the checks. The balances. The consent of the governed.

In a system designed by men who didn’t worship power—they feared it. And that’s why they divided it.

Jefferson’s purchase of Louisiana—arguably his most consequential act—should’ve destroyed us. Instead, it propelled us. Because we weren’t built to collapse under pressure—we were built to grow under it.

History is Meant to Prevent Failure

The Founders studied the failures of empires and the flaws of monarchies. They dissected history, psychology, and political theory with the precision of philosophers and the urgency of revolutionaries. They took the best ideas from centuries of governance—and rejected the worst with ink and fire.

And that’s why we must return to their wisdom now. Because if we forget what made us exceptional, we will become the very thing they rebelled against.

This isn’t just about politics. It’s about principles. About liberty, transparency, and accountability. If we’re going to revive the Republic, we must start by restoring the original balance of power—where the Executive executes, not dictates. Where the President answers to the people, not handlers. Where We the People are sovereign once again.

If we don’t reclaim the Founder’s vision, we’ll lose the Republic they fought to build.

Biden’s Retreat from Accountability: Hiding in Plain Sight

The implications of Biden's cognitive decline extend far beyond constitutional theory – they directly impacted policy decisions with real consequences for American lives. The catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan, the unprecedented border crisis, and the inflationary spending that devastated family budgets all occurred under the watch of an administration where the titular leader may not have been fully engaged.

The policy consequences of a shadow Presidency are grave. Who was actually making these decisions?

If Biden was not cognitively capable of understanding complex policy matters, who was driving the agenda that led to these disasters?

Were these the actions of unelected staffers pursuing ideological goals without proper accountability?

Were they the result of a President with diminished capacity being manipulated by those around him?

Americans elect presidents, not unaccountable staffers or family members. When the actual decision-making authority shifts to those who never faced voters, the entire constitutional order is undermined.

The Beach House Presidency: Biden’s Delaware Fortress

As we process the full implications of what appears to be the greatest political deception in modern American history, we must establish safeguards to ensure this never happens again. The American people deserve to know that the person they elect as President is the person who will actually be making decisions.

We need greater transparency around presidential health, particularly cognitive health. We need media that is willing to report honestly on presidential fitness regardless of partisan affiliation. And we need political parties that put country above political expediency when considering which candidates to put forward.

As the President’s public appearances dwindled and his cognitive struggles became harder to conceal, the Biden team retreated to the Delaware beach house—a move that conveniently shielded him from the press, Congress, and even his own Cabinet.

The “Beach House Presidency” became a metaphor for an administration hiding from accountability, governing by proxy, and running the country from behind closed doors.

Congressional Subpoenas

Now, with House Oversight issuing subpoenas to President Biden’s inner circle and the dam of institutional secrecy beginning to crack, the American people are finally catching a glimpse behind the curtain—into a White House shrouded not in transparency, but in orchestration.

The question is no longer if there was a cover-up. That threshold has been crossed.

The question now is how deep the deception ran, who orchestrated it, and how much damage was done—not just to the legitimacy of this presidency, but to the very fabric of the Republic. What backroom deals were struck? What voices were silenced? What truths were buried beneath layers of bureaucracy, media deflection, and weaponized institutions?

We are entering the reckoning phase.

And as the truth emerges—not by the grace of transparency, but through relentless pursuit and subpoenas pried from a resistant machine—it’s becoming painfully clear: this wasn’t mere incompetence. It was calculated control, wielded by a cadre of unelected operatives acting not on behalf of the people, but in spite of them.

What we're seeing is not just a political scandal. It’s a constitutional breach. One that demands not just accountability—but consequence.

The Unanswered Questions That Still Haunt the Republic

- Who really benefited from the Biden family’s foreign business ventures?

- What did America’s adversaries know about Biden’s vulnerabilities—and when?

- How many critical decisions were made by unelected aides, family members, or foreign-influenced actors while the President was incapacitated or out of the loop?

- How many more secrets are still buried in Delaware’s sand?

The Coming Reckoning

The Biden administration appears to have engaged in a prolonged deception of the American people about the President's fitness for office. Those responsible for this deception – from White House staffers to complicit media figures – must be held accountable.

The American people deserve nothing less than the full truth about who was actually running their government for the past several years. Instead of a healthy post-mortem, you have a DNC spending $20 million on brain storming sessions with consultants at the Half-Moon Bay Ritz Carlton — living it up in an attempt on how to win back the male voters they have lost in such large numbers.

Lessons Learned?

The painful lesson of the Biden presidency may well be that our constitutional guardrails are only as strong as the people willing to defend them. It’s scary when you consider that the whole Woodrow Wilson episode was one of the precursors that supported a need for the 25th Amendment.

As of today, the only people who’ve truly learned anything are us—the American people.

If the last election told us anything, it’s that voters saw through the charade. The so-called “come-to-Jesus” moment we’re now witnessing from the left? It’s just more fake news!

But make no mistake—the reckoning ahead must go far beyond the politburo.

A Leaderless Nation

Let’s talk about the Cabinet. These individuals are supposed to serve at the pleasure of the President, taking direction and executing on the elected agenda. And yet, many now claim they were “boxed out.”

But that doesn’t mean the machinery of government stopped. It just went rogue.

Yes, bad ideas were part of the problem—but this went deeper. The American people elect a President to implement a vision. Of course, politicians lie, exaggerate, and stumble. That’s nothing new.

But what we witnessed during the Biden years wasn’t just failure—it was fragmentation. The so-called “moderate Joe” gave way to a chaotic patchwork of conflicting agendas, as if no one was steering the ship.

Any competent organization—government or private sector—requires a leader who knows when and how to course-correct. But when there’s weakness at the top, those below exploit it. Some go rogue. Others fill the vacuum with their own power plays.

And that’s exactly what happened.

Just look at Merrick Garland weaponizing the DOJ against Trump (while the far-left still whined that he wasn’t going far enough—let that sink in). Or how Biden quietly pardoned 37 out of 40 death row inmates.

Was it really so far-fetched to suggest we were living through an unacknowledged constitutional crisis?

Was Jill Biden trying to hold it together behind the scenes, only to be told by Cabinet officials, “What are you gonna do about it?”

Meanwhile, the West Wing was filled with unelected staffers and career bureaucrats making it up as they went, operating without mission or accountability. It’s Leadership 101—and no one was attending class.

So yes, the image of a thousand headless chickens scrambling in different directions, led by power-hungry incompetents who reveled in unearned authority, is not far off. And now that Democrats and the media are suddenly “saying the quiet part out loud,” don’t be fooled—it means the politburo is just the head of the snake.

When partisan loyalty supersedes constitutional duty, the entire foundation of our republic is placed at risk. We must never allow such a betrayal of public trust to occur again.

Are we ready to confront the reality that the greatest scandal in American political history wasn’t just about a single man’s decline, but about an entire system rigged to protect the powerful at the expense of the people?
