The Case for Uncovering the Fraud Behind Biden’s Presidency

Last night I encountered upon the stair

A diminutive figure who wasn’t present

He wasn’t around once more today

Oh, how I long for him to stray away . . .

— Hughes Mearns

January 20 will mark the finale of an unprecedented chapter in American presidential history. For the past four years, the supposed leader, Joe Biden, has been the man who wasn’t really here.

Chaotic and historical moments — from Russia’s incursion in Ukraine, Hamas’ atrocities in Israel, and the ensuing multi-faceted Israel-Iran conflict — have rocked the world, yet Biden was absent.

Countless non-Americans, including terrorists, criminals, and members of the Cuban Communist Party, have surged across the Mexican border into our cities, costing taxpayers billions to manage — and still Biden was missing.

And regarding finances: Trillions were expended by a disorganized administration that constructed nothing and accomplished little, yet succeeded in igniting an inflationary surge that has made basic necessities — food, vehicles, and housing — less affordable for everyday Americans — though Biden wasn’t there for this either.

One would expect the president of the United States to actually preside — it’s part of the job title.

Biden failed to do so because he was unable.

From the outset of his term, we now hear, advancing age has severely compromised his strength and dulled his capabilities — not that he was ever particularly sharp.

The individuals managing Biden did their utmost to keep him away from responsibilities. He spent 40% of his presidency vacationing, much of it indulging in ice cream on the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk.

Quite a cushy gig, I must say.

However, even during Biden’s time in Washington, he experienced “bad days” when he wasn’t permitted to act presidential.

Only seven cabinet meetings took place throughout his tenure — averaging a mere 1.75 meetings a year, if you are keeping track. Did these members even know each other’s names?

One could imagine that, rather than engaging in policy coordination, the meetings were taken up with attempts to figure out who the cheerful individual two chairs away was.

This was a cabinet that was absent.

The outcome was an absolute void in policy. The US government ran on slogans: “arsenal of democracy” signified Ukraine, “immediate ceasefire” signified Israel, “equity” signified racial issues, etc.

Once the slogans were voiced, they became permanent fixtures. It has been impossible for a government lacking coherence to learn from errors — particularly in our relations with Russia and the Middle East.

Even during what were supposedly good days for Biden when he appeared in public, he was prone to spontaneous, bizarre remarks.

He declared that regime change in Russia was essential. He asserted that the US would go to war with China in the event of a Taiwanese invasion. He made numerous statements that contradicted longstanding American policy, which had never been part of his administration’s agenda — remarks that had to be retracted and explained away by panicking White House staff.

When Biden remarked about his Republican rival, Donald Trump, “The only garbage I see out there are his supporters,” staffers flailed about, exclaiming, “No, no — you’ve missed an apostrophe,” which evidently made a significant difference.

How does this unfold? Who are these individuals? Who possesses the authority to inform the president that he’s behaving like a misguided fool — that he’s committed yet another faux pas and needs to retreat?

Who is truly present when Biden is not?

Is it his wife, the admirable Dr. Jill? His sister, Valerie Biden Owens, referred to by Wikipedia as “an American political strategist”? Or his White House chief of staff, Jeff Zients?

As global conflicts rage, who is responsible for these dreadful decisions on behalf of the most affluent and powerful nation? Is it national security adviser Jake Sullivan — or perhaps the indefatigable Antony Blinken?

During most of Biden’s presidency, aides were portrayed merely as subordinates who cleaned up after their leader’s occasional missteps.

Following his cognitive decline becoming painfully apparent during the debate with Trump, and especially after he withdrew from the presidential race, the narrative shifted.

Family and staff were now seen as overprotective, claiming they had “covered up” Biden’s evident decline out of love and loyalty.

This perspective profoundly misrepresents the reality that has existed for the past four years.

Regardless of who has been making decisions on Biden’s behalf, they have unlawfully seized presidential power. In 2020, Americans did not elect Jill or Valerie Biden, Sullivan or Blinken — they elected Joe Biden, endowing him with the significant powers of the presidency.

If, tragically, Biden had become too incapacitated to fulfill his responsibilities, he could have resigned or been removed via the 25th Amendment.

Those surrounding Biden were fully aware of what was occurring. It was not subtle. “Joe Biden is, like, dead. Not literally. He can’t, like, formulate a sentence,” remarked Henry Appel, a national security staff member.

Those closest to the president must have witnessed his deteriorating condition.

Yet, they opted to perpetuate a charade in which Biden was molded into a scripted figurehead while they reveled in wielding power.

“Blind ambition” is a cliché — but the depth of blindness involved in this scandal would make Lady Macbeth blush. The entire federal government, throughout this time, was navigating without guidance, like an aircraft perpetually on autopilot.

I have, as you may have noticed, many questions, but I will restrict myself to two primary inquiries.

The first is: What specific individuals within the administration — names and positions, please — were responsible for the continued infringement on our civil rights?

Someone authorized the FBI and Homeland Security to treat Catholic groups and anti-transgender activists as domestic terrorists. Someone established and allocated resources for a sprawling online censorship structure that muted or demoted views undesirable to those steering the ship.

Someone “debanked,” or ostracized from the financial system, individuals lawfully engaged in artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency. Someone misused prosecutorial power to target and persecute political opposition, particularly against Trump supporters.

We know Joe Biden wasn’t responsible for any of these unconstitutional actions. He was too detached.

So who was? And what should be their repercussions?

My second query is: Where was the news media during this farce?

Everyone with functioning sight could observe that Biden had drifted to a distant reality, from which there was no returning. Many of us have experienced that painful moment with a parent or grandparent — suddenly, the parent devolves into the child, and the child becomes the caretaker.

This condition was evident even from the outset — why else would Biden have operated his 2020 campaign from the comfort of a couch in his Delaware basement?

The media is expected to confront power with truth. It should have diverse sources and deep connections. Journalism’s esteemed goal is to educate the public and turn the uninformed masses into better citizens.

However, none of this has ever truly been the case — and it is now glaringly evident as a laughable illusion.

Journalists possess privileged access to the White House. They accompany Biden on his travels, often aboard Air Force One. They witnessed what Appel described: a president who “can’t articulate sentences.”

And they chose to remain mute, displaying either disinterest or complicity, either with a lack of curiosity or outright deceit to gain favor with the powerful.

The media’s corruption is too self-evident to require further explanation. Yet there should be repercussions.

Here’s a modest proposition: disband the White House press corps. Expel them like money-changers from the temple. Randomly select American citizens assigned to question the president, akin to how the Athenians chose their public officials.

Frustratingly, what we now refer to, for convenience, as the “Biden administration” is determined to exit with a flourish.

Hundreds of pardons and commutations have been granted, simply because they could be.

Hunter Biden is now shielded from prosecution for a wide range of crimes, committed between 2014 and 2024. Which crimes are in question? Perhaps Jill Biden has the details.

Barbaric murderers on death row have been spared from execution and will continue to live off taxpayers’ generosity until the end of their days. What motivated this? Maybe someone within the White House could clarify.

Medals have been bestowed liberally to political allies. Liz Cheney, of all people, received one.

Cheney lost her last primary by a hefty 30%. Her considerable unpopularity, I presume, has made her a darling of the establishment.

On Monday, Biden has “permanently” halted offshore drilling, as part of the plethora of allegedly irreversible regulations issued. On December 3, Biden exceeded his predecessor, Barack Obama, in regulatory additions to the Federal Register for the year: 96,088 pages.

Who incited this needless last-minute frenzy? A millisecond after Trump takes office, those irreversible mandates, no matter how inscribed in stone, will be eradicated with a mere stroke of a pen.

A new wave of rebels and reformers led by the president-elect — who is certainly very present — is converging on Washington, DC. The distant rumble can already be detected.

Never before in my lifetime has there been a greater demand for transformation.

The incoming administration will strive to slim down the bureaucracy dramatically. I wish them success. However, what I desire at this moment are credible answers concerning their predecessors — who did what to whom, and why.

Transformation can only emerge from truth.

This process of uncovering will commence shortly, after the president who was perpetually absent has finally departed.
