Joe Biden
June 20, 2025 — John Hinderaker
I didn’t really observe Juneteenth this year, but on Instagram I was reminded that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris celebrated it in 2024. Here they are, with other Democratic notables. Biden looks fine. There is nothing wrong with him. You can see why all the reporters and everyone in the White House thought he was A-OK, and were shocked when it turned out he couldn’t run for President after all:

I wrote on Power Line a few days before my cousin Dean (i.e., Dean Phillips) announced his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination: “When Dean throws his hat in the ring, it won’t be because he thinks it will advance his career. It won’t. This past summer he called for some prominent Democrat to challenge Biden because he thinks challenging Biden is the right thing to do — the right

“I’m a geriatric MD — Joe Biden’s plight shows telltale signs of elder abuse,” reads the headline from a New York Post opinion piece yesterday by Dr. Elaine Healy. I am not a geriatric MD, but I wrote this on Twitter (X) nearly four years ago, At this point, the Supreme Court needs to step in and appoint a Plenary Guardian for Biden. He is the ongoing subject of elder

As we and everyone else have pointed out, journalists who have belatedly tumbled to the obvious fact that Joe Biden was disabled throughout his presidency (or, at a minimum, most of it) are asking all the questions except the most important one: who ran the executive branch on the Democrats’ behalf, and how did that work? European journalists are perhaps a little less reticent. The London Times headlines: “Meet the

Adding to the controversy over Joe Biden’s mental and physical condition–not now, but during the time when he purported to be president–is the revelation that he suffers from an advanced form of prostate cancer. The cancer, now metastasizing, must have been with Biden for a long time, almost certainly since before he became president in 2021. But his staff claims that it has only now been discovered. I expressed skepticism

Miranda Devine argued over the weekend on X that President Biden was senile like a fox in the interviews conducted in the Special Counsel documents investigation. She turned her argument into the column “‘Crazy like a fox’ Biden shows selective memory in belatedly released special counsel interview.” Her argument is that the Special Counsel used Biden’s age and mental fog as an excuse not to charge him in the case.

Today is the official publication date of the new book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson on the cover-up of President Biden’s cognitive decline from those (like Tapper) who couldn’t or wouldn’t see what was in front of their nose. The Free Beacon’s Andrew Stiles has now arrived on the scene with “The Tapper Dossier: How the CNN ‘Journalist’ Covered (Up) the Biden Cover-Up—Before Writing a Best-Selling Book About It.”

Joe Biden’s office has announced that he has been diagnosed with an advanced form of prostate cancer: The 82-year-old former president was diagnosed Friday after doctors found a “small nodule” on his prostate during a medical exam earlier this month — with the cancer cells having spread to the bone, his spokesman revealed Sunday. His team said the cancer had been graded a Gleason score of 9, suggesting his form

The new Jake Tapper/Alex Thompson book on President Biden’s cognitive decline is to be published tomorrow. With all the discussion it has triggered — including the Wall Street Journal editorial “A reckoning for the Biden coverup” and the Wall Street Journal column “Biden was unfit in 2020” by Barton Swaim, both in today’s paper — I want to add our own experience and commentary to the mix. Below I quote

As one who publicly described Joe Biden as “senile” in 2020, and who documented many instances of his incompetence in the years that followed, I am not impressed by belated “revelations” of his dementia. Via InstaPundit, Randy Barnett sums up the situation concisely: We don’t need @jaketapper or anyone else to tell us Biden has been increasingly senile since the 2020 election. We need them to tell us who was

In early July 2024, after President Biden’s disastrous debate performance, a flock of Democratic governors met with Biden in the White House. The governors expressed their relief that that they are not up for reelection that year. (Just kidding.) They had an exchange of views. When they emerged from the White House, Minnesota’s own Governor Tim Walz took center stage to express his support for Biden: We are all looking

Axios has obtained recordings of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s October 8, 2023 interview of President Biden in the Biden version of the documents case. Marc Caputo and Alex Thompson introduce the four-minute audio clip below: “Amid long, uncomfortable pauses, Joe Biden struggled to recall when his son died, when he left office as vice president, what year Donald Trump was elected or why he had classified documents he shouldn’t have

Mark Halperin has the new podcast Next Up on Megyn Kelly’s new podcast/video network. In the clip below, Halperin analyzes the video compiled by the publisher of Tapper’s new book (written with Axios reporter Alex Thompson) on the “cover-up” of President Biden’s cognitive decline by the Biden administration. Penguin Press is the publisher of the Tapper/Thompson book and knows that Tapper may not be the perfect messenger to “cover” the

Who didn’t? I was on Australian television during the 2020 election campaign, and casually mentioned that Joe Biden was senile. Rita Panahi was startled and said, “Wait, what? Joe Biden is senile?” I explained that this was why he was running a basement campaign rather than putting on campaign events like Donald Trump did. It seemed obvious at the time. Biden’s debility became increasingly clear over the four years of

This is not the way I remember the campaign, but Joe Biden must be thinking he would have defeated Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Appearing on The View, Biden said he “wasn’t surprised,” by Kamala Harris’s defeat by Trump. “They went the route of, uh, the sexist route, all, the whole route. I mean, ‘this is a woman, she’s this, she’s that,’ uh, I mean, it really, I’ve

Miranda Devine captures the quote of the day in her Devine Online newsletter this morning: Joe Biden just reminded us all why Donald Trump is president. Republicans should give the old guy a medal for services to their party! His first sit-down interview since leaving the White House was on the BBC, for some reason. Maybe he still thinks he’s president of NATO. Clearly he wanted us to pine for

In his recent column “Joe Biden’s decline: The inside story and the outside story,” Byron York writes: There is an inside story of Biden’s decline and an outside story of Biden’s decline. The inside story is the effort by the White House staff, plus its Democratic allies, plus its supporters in the press, to conceal Biden’s problem. The outside story is the many public appearances — moments of Biden appearing
