LOS ANGELES.–Whatever fraud existed in the 2020 U.S. election, the real fraud has just come out about how 82-year-old President Joe Biden shielded him from exposing his deteriorating dementia evident during the 2020 campaign but denied by Democrats, the press and Biden’s personal staff. Whether admitted or not by 78-year-old President Donald Trump or his personal staff, 2020 was a bad year to run for reelection with Covid-19 dominating the headlines and voters distracted by friends-and-family dropping like flies from the deadly virus. As the election year wore on, it was impossible to explain away the rising death rates that blanketed the nightly news, stoking fear into voters as things got worse heading to Election Day. Democrats cleverly shielded Biden from the press, letting him run a campaign largely with carefully packaged TV ads, showing how he’d save the country from the deadly novel coronavirus. U.S. press deliberately covered up Biden’s dementia from the public.
When you consider that backdrop, it was the perfect storm for Biden but not for Trump as the Covid-19 avalanche caught up with the White House, regardless of all the work the White House did to combat the growing national public health crisis. Trump was sabotaged from inside his White House Covid czar Dr. Anthony Fauci joining forces with Democrat operatives to sabotage Trump’s 2020 campaign. Biden’s strategists pulled out all the stops enlisting Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward to help discredit Trump. Woodward told the fake news daily that Trump didn’t take the Covid-19 crisis seriously and hordes or Amercians were dying because of his negligence. Every word out of Trump’s mouth was twisted to show he didn’t take the coronavirus pandemic seriously.
When it came to Biden in 2020, Biden’s media handlers had the perfect excuse to keep him away from the press, hiding behind the Covid-19 pandemic, letting carefully prepared campaign ads tell the story during the 2020 race. Biden’s handlers knew that exposure to the press would confirm what Trump was saying regularly in the 2020 campaign, that Biden suffered from dementia, something completely denied by Biden’s campaign, but, more importantly, the U.S. press that had one objective in 2020, as they did in 2024, getting rid of Trump. New reports by the Wall Street journal and New York Times expose the kind of treachery in the U.S. press, something routinely denied in Democrat-controlled broadcast and print outlets. U.S. press did everything possible to hide Biden’s dementia from the public to get him elected in 2020. Biden’s handlers played right along.
Once Biden won the 2020 election, the press continued its cover-up making nothing but excuses for Biden’s increasing gaffes, saying it was only part of Biden’s personality, not a serious underlying medical condition. When Biden called Russian President a “murderous killer” March 18, 2021, the press said nothing on the eve of the U.S. first summit with China in Anchorage, Alaska. At that summit, 63-year-old Secretary of State Antony Blinken and 47-year-old National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan accused Beijing of genocide against Muslim Uyghurs in Western China and brutal crackdown on pro-Democracy protesters in Hong Kong. Needless to say, things only got worse from there with U.S.-Chinese relations. Biden’s inability to conduct normal diplomacy was hidden by the press, barely reporting on his insulting comments toward Russia and China.
White House officials occasionally responded to critics noticing something missing with Biden because of his deteriorating cognitive state. “President Biden speaks with members of his cabinet daily, and with most members multiple times a week, staying close with them about implementation of key law and strengthening our national security,” said Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates. “President Bide leads a modern administration. Cabinet meetings are an important tradition, but the contemporary work environment means they can be fewer and far between,” Bates said, giving more excuses why cabinet meetings were less frequent and tightly controlled by White House staff. Staff were told to insulate Biden from the press to prevent the kind of missteps that would raise questions about his fitness for duty. Members of the press gladly covered for Biden.
Since 2022, Biden has made some of the worse foreign policy mistakes in U.S. history, deciding to fund proxy war against the Kremlin. Biden had plenty of support from war hawks in Congress all gung-ho to battle the Russian Federation, opting to destroy decades of diplomacy, détente and arms control, all to support Ukraine’s war with the Kremlin. Biden’s inner circle kept him on a tight leash with his wife Jill always present to insulate Joe from the press. “The more you talk her up, the more you make him look bad,” Jill’s press secretary Michael LaRosa said, warning the media about Jill’s role in running the White House. New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post played right along covering up Joe’s cognitive decline until it got outed when former Special Counsel Robert Hur released his report Feb. 8, 2024 confirming Biden’s serious memory impairments.
