Well, well, well—look who’s finally catching up. The Wall Street Journal just dropped a “bombshell” report about President Joe Biden’s mental decline. But let’s be honest, was this really a bombshell? To most of us, it’s like “breaking news” that water is wet.
From the very beginning of Biden’s presidency, the signs were all there. His “Basement Campaign” wasn’t a COVID precaution—it was a strategy to keep the man away from anything resembling a microphone. Remember the drive-in rallies where supporters honked their horns instead of cheering? It’s not like he was going to hear them anyway.
But now, thanks to the WSJ’s “deep investigative journalism” (sarcasm fully intended), we’re learning that White House aides have been managing Biden’s schedule from day one. According to former aides and insiders, they’ve had to “adjust the bruising presidential schedule” to fit his “good days and bad days.” Translation: When Joe’s having one of his “bad days,” everything gets postponed, canceled, or quietly swept under the rug.
The “Protective Shell” Around Biden
This part’s a real gem. The WSJ report says the “protective culture” created during COVID wasn’t just about keeping Biden’s sniffles at bay—it’s about keeping him from embarrassing himself (and the entire country) on the world stage. But here’s the kicker—they never took down that “protective shell.” COVID ended, but the “Keep Joe Hidden” campaign lived on.
They even admit it! Biden’s aides reportedly kept his meetings short, scheduled them later in the day (he’s not “at his best” in the morning—relatable, I guess), and canceled them altogether if he wasn’t up for it. So while you’re out here working nine to five, Joe’s calling it quits if he’s “not feeling it.” Must be nice.
Staff, Not Biden, Running the Show
You’ve heard the conspiracy theories about “who’s really running the country.” Well, surprise! According to the WSJ, it’s not Joe. It’s his staff. They’re the ones making executive decisions when he’s having an “off day.” It’s like Weekend at Bernie’s, but somehow even more ridiculous.
And don’t take our word for it. Jesse Watters and Judge Jeanine Pirro called it out, too, pointing out that Biden’s staff treats him like an “aging dictator.” They’re shielding him from bad news, hiding negative polling, and ensuring he’s never “bothered” with the kind of information a president might actually need to do his job. But it’s all fine because apparently “he’s got the most accomplished record of any modern commander-in-chief” according to White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates. Sure, buddy.
Nine Cabinet Meetings in Four Years
Here’s a number for you—nine. That’s how many full Cabinet meetings Biden’s held in his entire presidency. Obama held 19 in his first term, Trump held 25, and Biden… nine. Maybe he’s too busy checking his watch at military ceremonies or calling a lid at 11 a.m.
And here’s the thing—even his own Cabinet started giving up on him. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reportedly stopped bothering to request meetings with him because, according to sources, they knew “it wouldn’t be welcome.” Imagine being a top official in charge of the nation’s economy or defense and thinking, “Eh, why even ask? He’s not going to show up anyway.”
Donors See It Too
If you’re thinking, “Well, maybe the donors didn’t know,” think again. According to the report, even Biden’s top donors noticed that his staff was “masking” signs of his decline. They’re probably thinking, “Wait, we gave millions for this guy?” It’s one thing to campaign on “Build Back Better,” but this is more like “Prop Him Up and Hope for the Best.”
Kamala to the Rescue? Not Exactly.
When Biden officially bowed out of the 2024 race, he endorsed none other than Kamala Harris, the woman who’s been one “word salad” away from writing her own book of riddles. She’s been covering for Biden’s mental fitness for years, but it’s not like she’s fooling anyone. In a CNN interview with Dana Bash, Harris claimed she had “no regrets” about telling America that Biden was fit to serve. Sure, Kamala. And I’m the King of England.
Final Thoughts
Look, this isn’t shocking to anyone paying attention. It’s not even surprising. We’ve known it for years. The only surprise is that the Wall Street Journal decided to write about it now, with Biden weeks away from handing over the reins. Maybe they figured it was “safe” to report on it once everyone else had already moved on. But for the rest of us, this is just confirmation of what we’ve been yelling from the rooftops since 2021.
If you’ve been waiting for the end of this nightmare, take heart—it’s almost over. Biden’s on his way out, Kamala’s already been rejected by the American people, and soon, we’ll have a chance to clean up this mess. The “protective shell” can only hold so long before it cracks, and this time, it’s cracking wide open.
