What The Biden Health Coverup Reveals About The Political Class

Over the weekend, the Biden family announced that former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with stage IV prostate cancer. The statement said that the cancer was characterized by a Gleason score of 9 out of 10, indicating it is highly aggressive, and that it has already spread to the bone.

Well-wishes poured in from both the former president’s allies and political opponents as the Bidens reportedly reviewed treatment options. But it didn’t take long for people to note a few questionable details about the nature and timing of this announcement.

First, it happened to come a little over thirty hours before the release of a highly-anticipated book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’s Alex Thompson that detailed Joe Biden’s mental decline while in office and the effort by people around him to cover it up and deny it was happening at all. While other books have already come out claiming to tell this story, none have come from journalists as highly respected by the political establishment as Tapper and Thompson.

Also, the day before the announcement, Axios released the full recording of Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur, where the president’s difficulty answering straightforward questions was on full display at the same time his allies in the media were trying to claim he was “as sharp as a tack.”

That convenient timing and speed at which some Biden allies, like David Axelrod, came out and said that talk of the former president’s decline should now be set aside because of this diagnosis led to some skepticism about the claim that the cancer was discovered only a few days ago.

That skepticism only grew as doctors began reacting with disbelief that cancer at this late a stage could have either just developed in the past few months or gone undetected for years while Biden was president. That’s especially true considering that prostate cancer is typically easier to discover early than most other cancers due to antigens it releases in the blood that can be detected with a simple blood test—a blood test we know both presidents Obama and Trump had taken while they were in office.

It is certainly possible that no physical health problems were covered up during Biden’s presidency, that his cancer was only detected for the first time a few weeks ago, as his office has said. But many of those most aggressively denying that anything shady is happening with the timing of this announcement will have a much harder time getting the public to believe them because of the blatant and unsuccessful attempt to censor, hide, and deny Biden’s deteriorating mental state in the lead up to the 2024 election.

DOJ Pardon Scandal Deepens as Whistleblower Alleges Biden Allies Profited from Autopen Access

A deepening scandal tied to former President Joe Biden’s final acts has sparked a Justice Department (DOJ) probe into a last-minute pardon spree, with critics pointing to signs of a mechanical signature on every order.

Ed Martin, the DOJ’s pardon attorney, revealed that a whistleblower from within the Democratic Party has alleged that several high-ranking Biden aides financially benefited from managing access to the president’s autopen.

The explosive claim comes as concerns mount over whether Biden was mentally fit when he authorized dozens of controversial pardons on his final day in office.

Martin recently appeared on the “2WAY Tonight” podcast with journalist Mark Halperin to shed light on the deepening controversy. 

“I had a whistleblower in my office 10 days ago, senior, senior Democrat saying, ‘Look, it was these three people that controlled access, and they were making money off of it,’” Martin said, according to The Gateway Pundit. 

“I don’t know if I believe it yet, but the point is I think we have to get to the bottom of it for the American people and to protect the process. And that’s what we’re doing.”

Though Martin declined to name the whistleblower, he described the source as a “high level advisor” from Biden’s 2020 campaign. 

The claims focus on alleged misconduct by Biden’s former Chief of Staff Ron Klain, senior adviser Anita Dunn and Biden’s personal attorney Bob Bauer. 

Former White House counselor Steve Ricchetti and First Lady Jill Biden were also described by Martin as “lead characters” in the decision-making process.

The core of the investigation centers on Biden’s widespread use of an autopen to sign last-minute clemency orders on Jan. 19, just one day before President Donald Trump was sworn in for a second term. 

According to watchdog group the Oversight Project, every single pardon issued that day featured identical autopen signatures from Biden.

Joe Biden’s Cancer Diagnosis Shouldn’t End Scrutiny of the Cognitive Decline Cover-Up

Former President Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis has prompted entirely appropriate expressions of sympathy from notable Republicans, Democrats, world leaders, and the public at large. Extending well-wishes, thoughts, and prayers to political opponents is a humane and civilizing instinct that might, in some small way, improve the U.S.’s fraught political climate. Regardless, it’s just the right thing to do.

But the former president’s prognosis must not bring a premature end to the conversation about whether Biden was cognitively fit for office in 2024. On the contrary, the public should demand answers and accountability on this topic with renewed vigor—precisely because of the well-founded mistrust engendered by Biden’s family members and inner circle, Democratic elites, and to some extent, the mainstream media. The reason we cannot necessarily accept, at face value, that Biden himself just learned about his diagnosis last week, is due to Biden’s own actions and the actions of his senior advisors, campaign staff, and party leaders.

It might very well be the case that Biden only recently became aware of this very serious health problem. But the timing is suspicious, coming just after the release of special counsel Robert Hur’s taped interviews with Biden, in which the lie that Hur had mischaracterized Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory” was definitively exposed. The Biden White House had attempted to discredit Hur; Biden himself raged at a press conference and blamed Hur for bringing up Beau Biden’s death. The tapes, obtained and released by Axios, explicitly contradict Biden’s version of events—it was the president who first referenced the death of his son, evincing confusion over the exact date.

If anything, Hur was too gentle with Biden. He patiently listened to the president’s rambling, incoherent anecdotes, and attempted to steer him back to the topic at hand: alleged improper storage of classified documents. Biden’s behavior during the five-hour interview raised serious questions about his fitness for office at that time, let alone whether he remained sharp enough to perform the most demanding job in the world for another four years.

Top Democrats, however, echoed Biden’s talking points that behind closed doors, the president was at the top of his game. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D–N.Y.) said Biden’s mental acuity was “as good as it’s been over the years,” and that the pair would talk several times a week. The message from virtually every Democratic leader who interacted with Biden was the same: Hur is a partisan actor and shouldn’t be trusted, Biden is absolutely fine. Everyone knows that’s false.

And it’s not just the Hur tapes. Original Sin, the new book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, is slated for release later this week; excerpts from the book have already publicized the elaborate steps taken by Biden’s campaign staff to shield him from press scrutiny. The inescapable conclusion is that party leaders were well aware of Biden’s diminished capacity and were more than willing to mislead the voters—their own voters—about that fact.

Ed Martin Identifies ‘Gatekeepers’ Involved in Biden Autopen Scandal, Says Whistleblower Has Come Forward with Shocking Allegations

DOJ Pardon Attorney Ed Martin discussed Biden’s growing autopen scandal this week with journalist Mark Halperin on the “2WAY Tonight” podcast.

Last Tuesday Ed Martin said that the Justice Department is reviewing Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons since it has become increasingly clear he was incapacitated during his presidency.

Ed Martin this Tuesday revealed he wrote to the Biden family and others and a senior Democrat whistleblower came forward with shocking allegations.

A couple of people “lawyered up” Ed Martin said.

“The Biden pardons are unprecedented,” he added.

“I had a whistleblower in my office 10 day ago, senior, senior Democrat saying, ‘Look, it was these three people that controlled access, and they were making money off of it,’” Ed Martin told Mark Halperin. “I don’t know if I believe it yet, but the point is I think we have to get to the bottom of it for the American people and to protect the process. And that’s what we’re doing.”

Although Ed Martin couldn’t name names, he said the senior Democrat whistleblower worked as a high level advisor in Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign.

The three gatekeepers who were allegedly selling access to the autopen were Biden’s Chief of Staff Ron Klain, Mao lover and senior White House Advisor Anita Dunn and Biden attorney Bob Bauer.

Ed Martin said former Biden counsel Steve Ricchetti and Jill Biden were also lead ‘characters’ in the Biden White House.

Democrats Don’t Get The Benefit Of The Doubt On Biden’s Health, ‘86,’ Or Anything Else

Joe Biden’s inner circle can’t stress this enough: Before last Friday, the former president had never been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Pinky swear.

A Biden spokesman “clarified” the “timeline” in a statement to multiple news outlets after widespread speculation that Biden’s Sunday cancer announcement wasn’t so much a new diagnosis as a new disclosure.

Even Democrat doctors came out of the woodwork this week to note that prostate cancer and metastasis to the bone don’t just happen overnight, meaning this cancer isn’t “new.” Either Biden and his team of elite health care practitioners are incompetent, or they covered up his diagnosis. So now his PR people are doing a full-court press to convince the suspicious public that Biden’s handlers aren’t lying liars who lie — they’re just really bad at their jobs.

This isn’t the only Democrat pinky swear of the week. Americans also got assurances from former FBI Director James Comey, who recently posted a threatening message to Donald Trump on Instagram in the form of a photograph of seashells spelling out “86 47.” We all know what that means. And considering a would-be assassin already shot Trump in the head and another tried to snipe him on the golf course, Comey’s message could credibly incite violence.

But no, seriously, guys, he had no idea what “86” connoted (even though he investigated the mafia for years). He also definitely just found those shells on the beach and had nothing to do with arranging them. And it’s crazy to think that this is all a cynical ploy to sell more copies of his weird new novel that’s out this week.

Biden doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt for the same reason Comey doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt for the same reason the Democrat Party and their media enablers don’t get the benefit of the doubt. They lie about everything.

This wouldn’t even be their first lie about Biden’s health. CNN propagandist Jake Tapper’s new book this week is yet another reminder that the corporate media and Democrats couldn’t even be trusted to tell the truth about Biden’s decline that we could see with our own eyes — no PSA test or urologist needed. When Americans observed Biden wandering aimlessly away from photo ops, falling down stairs, appearing to doze off in interviews, trailing off mid-sentence, slurring his words, and looking for a deceased congresswoman, Democrats, including fake journalists like Tapper, engaged in a cover-up to prop up Biden and hurt Trump. They said Biden was “sharp” and “focused,” “the best Joe Biden ever,” and that he just had a “bad debate.” When Lara Trump noted the cognitive decline, Tapper accused her of “mocking his stutter.” It was all a lie.

Before denying his “86” stunt, James Comey was a key architect of the lie that Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election, also known as the Russia collusion hoax. Days before Trump’s first inauguration, then-FBI Director Comey briefed Trump on the bogus Steele dossier, a leak of which gave the corrupt media just the hook they needed to peddle the nonsense oppo research. Comey later used this dossier as a pretext to spy on the Trump campaign through Carter Page. Comey also attempted to ensnare Mike Flynn, Trump’s national security adviser, in a perjury trap through an ambush interview to sabotage the Republican administration. As my colleague Matt Kittle so eloquently put it, “Comey tried to ‘86′ Trump’s first term.” It was all a hoax.

NewsGuard STILL Gives High Marks to Media that Covered Up Biden Mental Decline Scandal

CNN anchor and slick-haired blowhard Jake Tapper’s tell-all book on how Democrats covered up President Joe Biden’s mental decline the past four years was just released today. Not surprisingly, website traffic cop NewsGuard is still giving the liberal media outlets that helped perpetuate this cover-up stellar marks for journalistic credibility.

Outlets like CNN, Politico, Bloomberg News, Slate and others have falsely tried to cast Biden’s conservative critics on his deterioration and on the media’s complicity in burying the story as peddling “unfounded” “conspiracy” theories, which now look utterly ridiculous in retrospect of Tapper’s new book. As syndicated radio host Chris Plante has repeatedly noted on his show, Biden’s “brain? She’s-a Broke! She’s-a no good!”

But these outlets have not corrected the false stories MRC Business uncovered that tried to hide or obscure this and the media and Democrats’ complicity, but yet still managed to attain high scores from 80-100 from NewsGuard for allegedly adhering to the dystopian ratings outfit’s pathetic excuse for “standards for credibility and transparency.” 

To be fair, the aforementioned outlets did eventually lend credence in other stories they published to the notion of Biden’s mental state declining as the evidence was too obvious to deny. But it still doesn’t excuse the articles they did run that tried to cast doubt on the entire story and the argument that the media was intentionally ignoring the glaring signs of the former president’s worsening senility, and it definitely doesn’t excuse NewsGuard’s efforts to still treat these outlets as star-studded examples of bang-up job journalism.

Arguably the worst offender was — there’s an ironic surprise — CNN, where Tapper anchors The Lead. The pro-Biden network, which holds a comfortable 80/100 by NewsGuard, was simping for Biden’s supposed genius as early as 2021. Then-CNN Editor-at-Large Chris Cillizza published a retrospectively absurd August 19, 2021 story headlined, “Republicans keep trying to make Biden’s mental capacity an issue.” Cillizza pompously dismissed that “[d]espite the issue being, largely, moot during the campaign, Republicans continue to keep questions about Biden’s mental health front and center.”

Democrat Lawmaker Admits Biden Was Not Running the Country – “Maybe we Should have Asked Questions”

Democrat Rep. Ami Bera (CA) on Tuesday admitted that “maybe we should have asked questions” and that he thinks maybe Joe Biden wasn’t the one running the country during his presidency.

This comes as more and more questions arise surrounding who was really running the country, especially with the Biden autopen scandal, which revealed that many official actions during the sham Biden presidency were fraudulently signed with an automated signature.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) has alleged that staffers in Joe Biden’s administration engaged in a “cash for clemency” scheme, using an autopen to issue pardons in exchange for financial payoffs.

Outgoing Acting US Attorney for DC and now incoming Pardon Attorney, Ed Martin, announced earlier this month that the Justice Department is reviewing Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons amid the growing autopen scandal.

President Trump recently said in a fiery Truth Social post that the autopen conspirators “stole the Presidency of the United States, and put us in Great Danger.” He continued, “This is TREASON at the Highest Level! They did it to destroy our Country.”

Here Are 9 Questions About The Biden White House That Must Be Answered After Cancer Diagnosis

It is now socially safe to state the obvious out loud. Former President Joe Biden was not physically or mentally healthy enough to be president. And based on his 2020 presidential campaign when he was often hidden from public view and mostly stayed home, Biden was probably not even well enough to campaign.

The reason that talk of Biden’s poor health makes the left bristle is because it triggers a big question that can only lead to possibly the biggest presidential scandal in our nation’s history.

Who was acting as president in the shadows, running the country from Jan. 20, 2021 to Jan. 20, 2025 while Biden held office? That key question leads to more detailed questions. The American people deserve answers.

Who was making policy?

This is the main question. Who was calling the shots? Was it mainly a single person, a small team, or a total free-for-all for bureaucrat-led agencies to make any policies they wanted with little, if any, oversight?

Was it family members? Former President Barack Obama staff members who permeated Biden’s inner circle? Appointees? Or a combination of all of these?

Biden was inaugurated, but the American people did not know who was acting as president. The situation created an administration with no accountability. Don’t like the decisions coming out of the White House?  Go blame Biden. He is too isolated to hear the complaints. The people pulling the strings stay hidden and shielded from blame.

Biden’s Cancer Diagnosis Raises Serious Questions About Who Made These 5 Decisions

On Sunday it was revealed to the public that President Joe Biden had been diagnosed with a “more aggressive form” of prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bone. Dr. Zeke Emanuel said Monday on MSNBC that it’s more likely Biden “had it while he was president.” That means that on top of the obvious cognitive impairment, Biden may have also been suffering from an aggressive cancer, further calling into question who was actually making key decisions during his administration.

Here are five of the most consequential decisions of the Biden presidency that, in light of this diagnosis, have many Americans asking whether Biden was truly the one behind them.

Appointment of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

Biden nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant after Justice Stephen Breyer stepped down in 2022. Prior to taking office, Biden made nominating a black woman to the Supreme Court a top priority, as pointed out by The Federalist’s Jordan Boyd. Jackson had notable shortcomings — including the inability to define what a woman is because she is “not a biologist.”

Pardons And Commutations, Oh My!

Biden gave preemptive pardons to former Rep. Liz Cheney, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, Adam Schiff and others who sat on the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol as well as to the “police officers from the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department or the U.S. Capitol Police who testified before” the committee, according to The Lawfare Institute.

Biden also issued pardons to his brother, James Biden, James’ wife Sara, his other brother Francis T. Biden, and his sister Valerie T. Owens along with her husband John T. Owens.

As noted by The Federalist’s Beth Brelje, “To be pardoned for a crime, there must be a crime. None of the people on this list have been charged for the awful ways they harmed people in their official capacities.”

Biden also announced in December that he was granting 39 pardons and 1,499 commutations in what his administration described as the “largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.”

Weeks before that set of pardons and commutations, Biden quietly commuted the sentences of two Chinese spies. In one case, Yanjun Xu was convicted in 2022 for “conspiracy to commit economic espionage; conspiracy to commit trade secret theft; attempted economic espionage by theft or fraud; attempted theft of trade secrets by taking or deception.”

Hegseth Launches Special Task Force To Investigate Biden’s ‘Chaotic’ Afghanistan Withdrawal

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the creation of a special review panel on Tuesday to investigate the Biden administration’s “chaotic” 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal.

“President Trump and I have formally pledged full transparency for what transpired during our military withdrawal from Afghanistan. The Department of Defense has an obligation, both to the American people and to the warfighters who sacrificed their youth in Afghanistan, to get to the facts,” Hegseth wrote in an agency memo released on Tuesday.

In his directive, Hegseth disclosed that the Defense Department has been conducting “a review” throughout the past three months of what the secretary described as a “catastrophic event in our military’s history.” Based on the probe’s findings, Hegseth “concluded that we need to conduct a comprehensive review to ensure that accountability for this event is met and that the complete picture is provided to the American people.”

The memo tasks Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs and Senior Advisor Sean Parnell to “convene a Special Review Panel (SRP) for the Department who will thoroughly examine previous investigations.” As noted in a Defense Department press release, Parnell spent 485 days stationed in Afghanistan and was “wounded in action” along with many of his fellow soldiers.

According to the directive, the agency’s Parnell-led investigation will “include but [is] not limited to, findings of fact, sources, witnesses, and analyz[ing] the decision making that led to one of America’s darkest and deadliest international moments.”

“This team will ensure ACCOUNTABILITY to the American people and the warfighters of our great Nation,” Hegseth wrote.

As highlighted in the memo, the consequences stemming from the Biden-led withdrawal from Afghanistan were severe.
