The revelations from the Wall Street Journal’s latest report are jaw-dropping but, let’s be honest, not entirely surprising to those paying attention. For years now, whispers about President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline have been more than just a conservative talking point—they’ve been a flashing neon sign ignored by the mainstream media. But now, with dozens of Democrats breaking the omertà and spilling the beans, the situation sounds even worse than anyone could have imagined.
Let’s start with the basics. The report paints a picture of a president so shielded, so coddled by his handlers, it’s less like he’s leading the free world and more like he’s the headliner in a perpetual game of charades. From who he talks to, to the news he consumes, to what he’s allowed to see, Biden is insulated to an extreme that makes “The Truman Show” look like an open forum. When even cabinet secretaries and congressional leaders are relegated to dealing with middlemen instead of the president himself, it’s fair to ask: Who’s actually running the country?
Take, for example, the story of Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA). Here’s a top-ranking Democrat, desperate to warn Biden about the impending disaster in Afghanistan. His calls? Ignored. The result? A catastrophic withdrawal that not only cost 13 American service members their lives but also humiliated the United States on the world stage. You don’t need a PhD in political science to connect the dots between Biden’s cognitive challenges and the devastating outcomes of his administration’s policies.
Then there’s the revelation that his staff had to prepare him for a week just to sit for an interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur about his classified documents scandal—and even then, he reportedly couldn’t recall basic details or stick to the script. If this doesn’t scream “unfit,” what does? Imagine the panic among his handlers, knowing that a simple misstep could unravel months of careful spin.
The concealment of Biden’s mental decline shows not only the failure of the media, but also the limits of the 25th Amendment. The combination of lying officials and an enabling press left the system dangerously vulnerable as Biden struggled in office.https://t.co/HwMDK4fXRV

But it doesn’t stop there. The report dives into Biden’s reelection campaign strategy, which is so absurdly controlled it borders on parody. Donors couldn’t expect spontaneous answers from the president—questions had to be pre-submitted, approved, and even printed on cards for them to read aloud. And even then, Biden managed to fumble. This is the guy who Democrats expect to take on a resurgent Donald Trump in 2024?
It gets worse. Apparently, Biden’s handlers went so far as to shield him from polling data, feeding him a steady diet of sunshine and rainbows to keep him from realizing he was headed for electoral doom. When reality finally broke through, the president reportedly became defensive and hung up on his own advisers during a tense call. This isn’t leadership; it’s delusion.
A new report from the Wall Street Journal alleged that the White House has been hiding Biden’s cognitive decline since he was in Barack Obama’s White House. The cover-up included hiring vocal coaches and canceling critical national security meetings.

And let’s not overlook the irony here. The same party that questioned Donald Trump’s mental fitness for office is now scrambling to keep its own president from wandering off the proverbial stage. They’ve built a wall of enablers around him, not to protect the country but to protect their own political interests. What they’re really hiding is a president who struggles with the demands of his office to such a degree that his own staff has to micromanage his every move.
The American people deserve better. Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, this level of dysfunction should concern you. It’s not just a political issue—it’s a national security risk. And as this report lays bare, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
