Aides Panicked, Changed Biden’s Number After He Unknowingly Answered Reporter’s Call Then Started Answering Questions: New Book

Despite being out of office, former President Joe Biden’s aides are keeping a close watch on the former president and who he communicates with.

On Tuesday, Axios wrote about “2024,” a new book from reporters Josh Dawsey, Tyler Page, and Isaac Arnsdorf, who worked together at the Washington Post during last year’s presidential campaign.

As the title indicates, this book is about President Donald Trump’s campaign and subsequently victory to retake the White House, running first against Biden then former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Axios highlighted one especially sad, yet hilarious, moment that demonstrates just how lucky the American people are that we did not get a second Biden term and illustrates the extent of his lack of authority over his own decisions.

Pager called Biden on March 25 — two months after he left office — after having obtained his personal cell number.

“Biden said he would be willing to speak for this book the next day,” the authors wrote. “The next morning, he answered and said he was running late to catch a train. He said he had a ‘very negative’ view of Trump’s second term. … ‘I don’t see anything he’s done that’s been productive,’ he said.”

After saying he did not dwell on if he regretted dropping out of the race, Biden hung up the call.

Pager then received texts and calls from Biden’s aides, who were not happy: “After the first call,” the aides, “repeatedly called and texted [Pager]. After the brief second call, his aides blocked the reporter‘s calls to the former president,” the book continued.

“Two days later, a message from Verizon Wireless replaced Biden’s voicemail: ‘The number you dialed has been changed, disconnected, or is no longer in service.’”

Even post-presidency, Biden does not make his own decisions, his aides do.

Biden Doctor’s Refusal To Answer A Single Question Blows Up The ‘Doctor-Patient Privilege’ Excuse

Joe Biden’s White House doctor refused to answer a single question during a congressional interview on Wednesday, raising more concerns about efforts to conceal the former president’s decline while in office.

According to House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., Biden physician Kevin O’Connor pled the Fifth at his previously scheduled deposition with House lawmakers. The revelation came a day after the Trump administration waived executive privilege for O’Connor to sit down with members of the committee for the transcribed interview.

According to a House Oversight Committee official, O’Connor did not simply plead the Fifth on questions related to doctor-patient privilege, but on any and all prospective queries posed by lawmakers.

“The American people demand transparency, but Dr. O’Connor would rather conceal the truth,” Comer said in a statement. “Dr. O’Connor took the Fifth when asked if he was told to lie about President Biden’s health and whether he was fit to be President of the United States. Congress must assess legislative solutions to prevent such a coverup from happening again.”

What Is He Trying to Hide? Biden Doctor Desperately Trying to Stall Key Hearing, Cites Confidentiality

Former President Joe Biden’s White House physician is attempting to delay his testimony before Congress, citing concerns about the scope of lawmakers’ questions, sparking speculation that he is stalling for time.

Dr. Kevin O’Connor, who served as Biden’s physician during his presidential term, asked the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Saturday to “postpone his scheduled testimony over disagreements on the scope of the questions,” The Hill reported.

O’Connor is presently slated to give a deposition on Wednesday, as part of the committee’s investigation into Biden’s mental capacity, as well as his use of an autopen to sign legislation, orders, and pardons.

David Schertler, a lawyer for O’Connor, reportedly sent a letter to Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky — who chairs to committee — asking to postpone the start of the hearing to July 28.

In the letter, Schertler cited doctor-patient confidentiality as the main issue and said Republican lawmakers haven’t established what can — and cannot — be asked.

A committee representative accused O’Connor of trying to “stonewall” Congress, in comments made to NBC News.

Doctor-patient privilege is sacrosanct. Privacy should be expected and protected.

In Biden’s case, however, we’re talking about the leader of the free world. Divulging certain aspects of your life comes with the territory.

Tulsi Gabbard Declassifies Biden Admin Documents, Exposes Weaponization of Intelligence Against Americans

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard’s task force, charged with carrying out President Donald Trump’s executive orders related to the intelligence community (IC), is interviewing “whistleblowers” who could expose Russian collusion hoaxers, analyzing previous election processes to investigate vulnerabilities, and more as part of the administration’s goal to maximize transparency.

The Director’s Initiatives Group (DIG), established by Gabbard in April, was launched with the mission of “rebuilding trust in the IC,” starting with “investigating weaponization, rooting out deep-seeded politicization, exposing unauthorized disclosures of classified intelligence, and declassifying information that serves a public interest.”

“The DIG is also leading assessments of IC structure, resourcing, and personnel to improve efficiency and eliminate wasteful spending,” Gabbard’s office said at the time. 

The task force was created to get the IC into compliance with several of Trump’s executive orders, including Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship, Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing, and Holding Former Government Officials Accountable for Election Interference and Improper Disclosure of Sensitive Governmental Information.   

In a three-month update to Breitbart News, an ODNI official revealed what the DIG has already accomplished, and what it is working on next. 

According to Gabbard’s office, former DNI James Clapper and former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Brennan worked together to create the “deep state” within the IC and bake politicized and weaponized intelligence into its folds.

DNC Insider Spills the Beans: What Jill Biden Did ‘Was Absolutely Elder Abuse’

With the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform looking into the Biden administration and issuing subpoenas to many Biden staffers to review White House autopen use and the covering up of President Joe Biden’s mental decline, more people are coming forward with their stories.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Li, a former National Finance Committee member and former DNC fundraiser, was described as having “a front-row seat to Joe Biden’s presidency and the people who pulled the strings behind the scenes.”

“[Biden is] definitely complicit, but there were a lot of people behind him, like puppet masters,” Li explained.

“[Former first lady Jill Biden] very much knew what she was doing. What she did was absolutely elder abuse.

“There is no question in my mind,” she asserted.

“Joe was not able to do a lot of campaign events, so Jill would come out on his behalf, acting like the president or the presidential candidate.

“That’s why she graced the Vogue cover three times. She loved it,” Li continued.

“If I were to pinpoint two reasons why Joe decided to run again, it would be two people: Jill and Hunter Biden. Because Hunter Biden’s freedom was on the line and Jill’s ego was on the line.”

She concluded, the then-first lady was the one in control of and running the White House — not Joe Biden.

USAID Gave Known Con Man $800M Contract To Do Kamala’s Work On ‘Root Causes Of Migration’

President Joe Biden’s USAID awarded an $800 million contract to a business operating out of a Virginia home even after it formally ruled that its key manager lacked “honesty or integrity” — a reference to the fact that, according to a May 12 guilty plea, he had secured USAID contracts through bribery for a decade.

The contract was for addressing “issues affecting the root causes of irregular migration from Central America to the United States” — the work that Biden assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris, but which she never appeared to address, a Daily Wire investigation found.

The Department of Justice announced Friday that Walter Barnes III, the founder of government contractor Vistant (previously known as PM Consulting Group, or PMCG) and Roderick Watson, a USAID contracting official, pleaded guilty to a bribery scheme in which Barnes and two others conspired to pay Watson $1 million in exchange for $544 million in contracts.

What has not been reported is that the Biden administration continued to steer contracts to Vistant/PMCG even after it knew of the massive corruption: the migration contract, even larger than the $544 million in the indictment, and others that are still active.

The $800 million contract went to a joint venture between Barnes’ company and CollaborateUp, a tiny consultancy run out of a suburban home in Falls Church, Virginia, where its CEO, Richard Crespin — who runs the company while also working at a think tank — lives. The Virginia home was the address listed on the $800 million contract.

In announcing its $800 million contract, CollaborateUp said it would address the “irregular migration from Central America to the United States” by addressing “climate change.” Its website also touts its work “advancing DEIA” and combating “misinformation.”

This year, it added Mark A. Green, a former Republican congressman who served as Donald Trump’s appointee to lead USAID during his first term, to its payroll as a “senior advisor,” according to its website.

My Wray Or The Highway: New Report Raises Troubling Questions Over The FBI Spiking Report Contradicting Director

Newly declassified FBI documents obtained by Fox raise troubling questions over the FBI allegedly spiking findings that contradicted the testimony of  then-FBI Director Christopher Wray.

The FBI had uncovered a Chinese conspiracy to influence the election in favor of then-President Joe Biden, including the creation of false driver’s licenses.

Wray denied that such efforts were occurring and the FBI reportedly proceeded to effectively bury the report.

Agents had found that the Chinese manufactured fake driver’s licenses and shipped them to the U.S. in a scheme to help Biden. That not only contradicted the narrative of the election, but Wray’s testimony.

Wray testified before Congress that the FBI had not seen any coordinated voter fraud ahead of the 2020 election:

“We have not seen historically any kind of coordinated national voter fraud effort in a major election, whether it is by mail or otherwise.”

However, that does not appear to be true.

Joe Biden Made Another Public Appearance, and Oh Boy

If you thought the spectacle of Biden behind a podium was a thing of the past, think again. This week, the former president emerged from his Delaware cocoon to deliver the keynote at the Society for Human Resource Management’s convention in San Diego. 

A couple of months ago, it was revealed that he was having trouble booking speaking gigs — probably because no one was going to fork over the $300,000 speaking fee reportedly attached to his name. 

The Society for Human Resource Management must have had a Groupon code.

So what kind of wisdom did Ol’ Joe share?

Biden was asked about what he’s doing these days. His answer? He’s “working on a memoir” about his time in the Oval Office, which he claims his publisher wanted delivered in “March of this year.” March? 

Does anyone really believe that a publisher was expecting a tell-all Biden tome that quickly, or is Joe once again hopelessly confused about the timeline? Or did the publisher figure that was ample time for a manuscript written in crayon? The answer was a rambling mess, the kind of meandering that’s become his trademark.

Then came the self-pity. Biden lamented that so much of what he “did” is being undone. He trotted out the tired claim that NATO was “in shambles” when he took office, and that he single-handedly strengthened the alliance and took on the invasion of Ukraine. Reality check: Russia invaded Ukraine under Biden’s watch, emboldened by his weakness on issues like Nord Stream 2 and the catastrophic Afghanistan withdrawal. 

President Donald Trump was the one who actually got NATO members to pay up for their own defense, not just in his first term, but even more so in his second. Trump is the one who’s been working to end the war that erupted under Biden’s nose, and it’s Trump who delivered real security by taking out Iran’s nuclear capabilities and brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

But Biden wasn’t done spinning yarns. He claimed that European leaders were calling him, pleading for him to “get engaged.”

“And I’m getting calls — I’m not going to go into them, I can’t — from a number of European leaders asking me to get engaged,” he said.

GOP Rep Calls For Jill Biden To Face Criminal Charges For ‘Elder Abuse’

Republican Illinois Rep. Mary Miller has called for former first lady Jill Biden to face criminal charges for elder abuse after her husband, former President Joe Biden, announced his cancer diagnosis following reports of significant mental deterioration throughout his term.

“Jill Biden was complicit in covering up Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline,” the congresswoman said in a post on X. “She should face CRIMINAL CHARGES for elder abuse!!”

In an interview with The Post , geriatric medical specialist Elaine Healy said that the former president is showing “telltale signs of elder abuse.”

“Visible bruising and other injuries from physical violence are obvious forms of abuse. Non-violent actions — like deprivation of food, causing weight loss, or intimidation, causing social withdrawal and personality changes — are also defined as abusive behavior,” she said.

“A more sinister type of elder abuse, however, involves the exploitation of an elderly individual for the abuser’s financial, personal, or — in this case — political gain,” the doctor said.

She also spoke about what the former first lady did with her husband after his infamous debate with then-GOP candidate Donald Trump, where she had to guide him off the stage.

“What was behind her insistence that he run for office when she, above all others, had to be aware of his failing cognitive capacities and declining physical health?” she said. “Is she a loving spouse or a master manipulator, using his dependency on her to control his decision-making? If the latter, she is engaged in elder abuse.”

Even Sally Quinn, a Washington Post columnist and outspoken critic of Trump, criticized Jill Biden.

Buried Report Reveals What Happened To Cocaine In Biden White House

Within hours of cocaine being discovered inside the West Wing of the Biden White House, security officials moved swiftly to make it disappear forever.

That’s the conclusion of an internal report, until recently buried, which sheds new light on how U.S. Secret Service agents serving the family of President Joe Biden made quick work of the evidence critical to an investigation which never revealed the source of the drugs. Even now, with Republicans controlling every lever of power in Washington, D.C., an audit of how the cocaine was handled has been hard to come by.

Only through dogged reporting by Susan Crabtree of RealClearInvestigations are new details coming to light.

Last month, Crabree reported that the Secret Service moved swiftly to destroy the bag of cocaine found inside a locker in the West Wing. A report by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, titled simply “Destruction,” shows that the drugs were incinerated within 24 hours of their discovery.

The document, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, doesn’t list a date when the cocaine was destroyed. But a chain of custody shows that the Secret Service turned the cocaine over to D.C. Fire Department hazmat technicians and the FBI for testing to authenticate it before retaking possession.

Two days later, the drugs were passed to the D.C. metropolitan police for destruction. The Secret Service closed its investigation into the matter nine days later.

Crabtree notes in her report that the D.C. police force owns an Environmental Protection Agency-approved incinerator which must be used for the destruction of narcotics. No entry date for the destruction of the cocaine was listed in the report.
