Joe Biden recently revealed that the idea of completing a second term at age 86 might be beyond his capabilities, proving yet again that he is either remarkably candid or blissfully unaware of his own labyrinthine situation. This admission is a bitter cherry on top of the cognitive cake conservatives have been feasting on for years. As the clock ticks down to the imminent departure of Biden from the White House, a wave of schadenfreude washes over those who have long pointed out the glaring issues with his mental acuity and physical vitality.
In an enlightening exposé from the New York Times, it is laid bare that those closest to Biden have worked tirelessly to keep the curtains tightly drawn on his declining health. They micromanaged his schedule, ensuring that he was never faced with challenging inquiries or scrutinized by the public eye. It seems that keeping him buoyed and his cognitive mishaps at bay was a full-time job for his aides. One could almost picture them setting up a series of elaborate distractions to keep the wolf from the door. Modifications even extended to Air Force One, where steps were altered to avoid showcasing how challenging even a simple stair climb had become for the Commander-in-Chief.
Biden’s inner circle, made up of family and loyal aides, has become synonymous with the phrase “deceit is the best policy.” They recognized privately what they publicly scoffed at: Biden’s physical decline is no conspiracy theory. While they incessantly downplayed the mounting concerns regarding his age and health, it was clear they were far more aware of the reality than they let on. The irony stings—the same people who were downright dismissive of any mention of cognitive issues now stand exposed as the protective wall behind which Biden has operated these last few years.
Among the officials pulling the strings are his wife, Jill Biden, and son Hunter, fervently believing in their father’s potential to beat Trump, regardless of the obvious signs that he was running on fumes. Meanwhile, inner council members like Donilon and Ricchetti played the information delivery game like seasoned puppeteers, doing their absolute best to shield their aging leader from negative press and uncomfortable realities. They closely controlled Biden’s public appearances, providing pre-written responses that surely rolled off the teleprompter smoother than they did from his lips.

Despite Biden claiming he could have taken Trump down if he stayed in the race, history will likely reflect on him not as the champion who vanquished the Trump dragon, but as the unfortunate soul who unwittingly laid the groundwork for its return. The Biden administration appeared to be a series of grand theatrical performances, with a cast devoted to making an aging star look vibrant and capable. Meanwhile, the mainstream media have played their part seamlessly, choosing to brush aside growing questions about Biden’s capabilities, instead labeling them as melodramatic right-wing conspiracies or attributing gaffes to a stutter.
As the curtain falls on this administration, it’s important to hold accountable not only those intimately involved in the cover-up but also the media and Democrat operatives complicit in this saga. They, like the Sinister Six of Biden’s inner circle, chose to turn a blind eye to the clear indications of trouble ahead. Only time will tell how history will judge them, but one thing is certain: for every Biden admittance about aging, there is a sigh of relief echoing from conservatives across the country, ready to welcome back a leader who can think straight and climb stairs without needing a handrail.
