Yup, it was a scam from Covid tainted elections to a basement candidate, and on to 4 more years of mischief by government. We know who the actors were but can’t get the actual authors in the spotlight. While applauding the righteous crucifixion of these actors we should be painting their sponsors with the same tar brush.

"Joe Scarborough, the morning host of MSNBC, did not just defend Biden against accusations of senility, he called the current Biden the best version of Biden ever. Was Scarborough unbelievably dumb or utterly dishonest? I’ll go with the latter. It’s a wonder he was not fired forthwith, but then it’s an affiliate of NBC."

Has Joe Scarborough ever apologized for this? /Silly Question.

Excellent piece Roger as always! The list of 'Benedict Arnolds' (Uncle Joe and Aunt Jill if I may say so at the top!) both in the political and MSM arenas is far too long to include here and would prevent me from eating some leftovers from a Sunday morning casserole I enjoyed yesterday! What flabbergasts me even more is the ongoing verbal assaults on POTUS and his administration and complete lack of effort toward bipartisanship. Both at the political levels an sadly, in our daily lives with friends and family! I try to understand why so many individuals I meet just 'Don't Get It!' Are they brainwashed? Do they just lack common sense? Are they devoid of basic morality/virtues? Do they enjoy Kool-Aid that much? Or as I have stated many times to you, are they just part of the left-wing, pseudo-intellectual 'hate Donald Trump no matter what' lemming brigade? I have been a 'Birder' for many years and it is a hobby that brings me some measure of inner peace along with my love for Christ. Every morning I look out my window, watch a family of newly born Finches gather around my feeders and wait for their parents to eat, then feed them. Wouldn't it be nice if our society had the same philosophy of life that our birds have? Maybe not the best analogy I could come up with, but certainly not the worst. Time for my casserole, have a very blessed day!

The Trumpster is on a mission to 86 the Democratic Party. He's an existential threat to their grifting livelihood. When they say he's a threat to democracy, they actually mean he's a threat to the Democratic Party. Go get'em...

Thank you, Jim. Also watching birds hanging out in our huge Burning Bushes ( named for the gorgeous crimson color they become in the Fall.) Nature is so beautiful, God is good.

Freedom is our biggest challenge, because we are free to be despicable, and, sadly, many choose that route.

It seems old habits of the players in "the system" die very hard. This is a leadership issue. They've nearly deep-sixed themselves...and this is BAD for our nation.

We need to help the Ds to actually represent the people, rather than "mind-bending" them into thinking what serves this, now damaged, "system". I mean this with respect and for the good of our nation.

Excellent points👍 The foisting of a demented Biden on the American people will go down in history as the biggest political scam ever. The Democratic gaslighting was so intense that they should forever be known as the Gaslight Party. Normal people have been leaving the Dem party because they feel the Dem policies are repulsive 🤮. The stake in the heart of the party (and the legacy media) should be this disclosure of Olympic level gaslighting. Jake is just as guilty as anyone and would be awarded the Olympic gold medal of Hypocrisy, if there was such a thing.

The Dems and their mindless sycophants in the legacy media deserve the organizational deaths which they are currently experiencing. In the words of the despicable Jimmer Comey, both should experience 86…..

As someone who had to deal with a mother with dementia, I can say that she never really understood what had happened to her. So I don't blame Biden personally for that. His staff, cabinet and family on the other hand... Probably no one but the doctor and Jill Biden and perhaps other family members knew about the cancer. Did they tell Joe and did he understand it? HIPPA and all of that. The doctor needs to lose his license and Jill Biden needs to go to prison for elder abuse.

Oddly somebody with the autopen keys pardoned Joes whole family except for Jill, his wife??? I initially wondered why but then it would have been more than suspicious if she was included. That would have indicated she did something that needed a pardon. I guess now we know what it was, his deep dementia and his cancer. Both would kill his chances at another term. I believe the key to unraveling the illegal acts is Dr Jill. She deserves to be water boarded until she fesses up and names names.....

Among the many offenses Biden’s staff reportedly engaged in was shielding him from any information that suggested his performance as President was less than stellar. Fine. But what head of a public business, much less the presidency, is so incurious as to avoid turning on the TV once in a while just to find out what’s going on? Institutional denial? Even absent an official diagnosis of dementia or the like would make such an individual mentally deficient. I do blame Biden, not for getting cancer but for surrounding himself with enablers for four years.

Yes-men are unfortunately common. This seems to be especially common in the Senate where he spent much of his career. Job description is to bloviate.

Those people will never admit guilt, resign or, in a nutshell, do the right thing. I do have some sympathy for Biden, who was a useful tool for the left. However, while trying to destroy Trump, he inadvertently destroyed the left. If he didn't do what he did, and they didn't do what they did, we might not have a Trump presidency. Not only do we have that President, but the country is now aware just how corrupt Biden and his administration were and the fake media right along with them. IMHO, we are, in fact, blessed. God works in strange ways, and I thank God.

Roger like you I’m an elderly man, 77, living in an airpark community with other elderly men who still fly, do physical labor to maintain the airpark and none of them are showing signs of dementia, so age has nothing to do with cognitive ability. All of us could see the evidence of Biden’s decline every time they let him out of his box. There was no question we were being lied to starting in 2018 with Covid. What amazes me is not the hypocrisy of the the media and the Democratic establishment but the fact that some of them are STILL defending the party and what it did to the country. I don’t blame Joe, he didn’t know what was going on half the time, I blame the enablers around him who were willing to destroy the United States in order to remain in power.

Stealing votes in 2020 looks like it will backfire on the Dem Party. They've stepped on fresh dog poo and they can't get the stench (of Joe) off their shoes.

I agree and sorry that he was diagnosed with cancer. I am a cancer survivor and both parents died from this horrible disease. BUT, Biden, his family, his administration and the MSM put my family and friends in DANGER as the leader of our country with THEIR deceptions! I can't forgive this complete lack of morality and concern for America and it's people. Sorry!

The underlying matter also needs very broad attention. Mr. Biden, bless him, was simply one more "player" in a highly collectivized political system, which borders on empire (and demonstrates the type of authoritarianism that our founders (and history) warns of). All Americans should turn their attention away from the distraction, which is Mr. Biden's decline, and instead, focus on reforming or dismantling "system" that placed him into office and what transpired during the 2008 - 2024 period. (To be clear, during Mr. Trump's first term, this system was still "commanding"; for one example, how else can one explain 80M votes during a pandemic for a man who was a last minute Bernie replacement, campaigning from his basement, during a period of overt cheating of themselves in their own primaries?) The harm done has been substantial, but they "got theirs".

The damage to our nation, domestically and abroad, has been severe. Have a look. When you do, please understand that Ds, moreso than the Rs, run a "system" and it has gotten out of hand in many ways...unchecked and now embedded in our non-elected government, yet propelled by the same "master", whose goals seem to directly align with China's hard right. (The ones who "feed", command.)

This globalizing socialist system continues also to drive the behaviors of Western European leaders to our detriment. Contrast their stated and acted upon ideals and values with those of (oddly) Eastern European Leaders. (Hating an old image is no substitute for maintaining American, Western Liberal Values.) The D party has transformed into what we see today...WE NEED TWO STRONG AND COLLEGIAL PARTIES, who represent the will of our people, rather than to satisfy the desires of a private "collective". (What begins as "a little" self-serving turns into "alot", especially when unchecked.) Given this, expect to see constant distraction and subterfuge, like Jake Tapper's book, to obfuscate the real issue: it is a wicked and unAmerican System that has driven us these past 16 yrs - harming Americans and therefore our national competitiveness, demonstrably including themselves. Time to return to the system that ALL ELECTED MEMBERS take and oath to preserve and support.

But is any of this really new? Woodrow Wilson's wife seems to have run the country while he was incapacitated, the final year or so of his life. Same with Eleanor Roosevelt while FDR was at death's door ... Oops, I've got the explanation! They were Democrats too!

Roger, I agree. I have no sympathy for Dementia Joe's diagnosis. I seriously doubt he ever ran an honest election in his entire political career. Certainly his illegitimate Presidency was anything but upright. As for the Democratic Party and the MSM and its supporters, I honestly doubt that there is a road to recovery for them. They reek in their hypocrisy with a proud and arrogant display of self righteousness that only Satan himself could be proud of. Lying is not second nature to them, it is their first love.

"Cherchez la femme" is a French phrase which literally means 'look for the woman'. It is a cliche in detective fiction, used to suggest that a mystery can be resolved by identifying a femme fatale or female love interest.

Anyone seen Jill Biden lately ?

It's pretty much the one and only job of the President's doctor to lie about presidential health conditions - call it the hypocritic oath - it was an oath taken by FDR's doctors, Ross McIntire and Howard Bruenn, by JFK's doc, Janet Travell, by Ike's doctor, Howard McCrum Snyder (who remembers Ileitis?)... hell, apparently Grover Cleveland's doctor... but at least these doctors pay house calls. It's called Need To Know, and what exactly do we need to know? We're not even kibitzers in this game of Global Monopoly that only Presidents get to play.
