Joe Biden & the Biggest Cover-Up in American History

by Jeff Crouere, ©2025

(May 4, 2025) — For several years, it has been apparent that Joe Biden is mentally incompetent and suffering from a significant cognitive decline. Honest observers noticed Biden was having trouble in the 2020 presidential campaign. In response, his political advisers sidelined Biden to the “basement” throughout the campaign as he held few public events.

As President, Biden spent his entire term making embarrassing gaffes, displaying forgetfulness, and having a challenging time communicating. Repeatedly, he was unable to identify his cabinet members and called Vice President Kamala Harris the “President.”

At one event, Biden asked for a deceased member of Congress to come forward and be recognized. Even worse, Biden was regularly unable to exit the stage after a speech and was seen shaking hands with invisible people.

Along with the mental decline, Biden experienced significant physical problems. He suffered spectacular tumbles on stage, on the stairs of Air Force One and on his bike.

However, when his critics mentioned videos highlighting his deteriorating condition, his defenders, including former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, called them “cheap fakes.” In an interview on MSNBC, Jean-Pierre fumed that the criticism was “very insulting” and filled with “much misinformation.”

Jean-Pierre and Biden’s allies claimed that videos of the President wandering into a rainforest, being distracted by a parachuter during an event with European leaders or being led away by former President Barack Obama at a fundraiser were “manipulated videos…done in bad faith.”

Biden Campaign Spokesperson James Singer said the concerns about his mental competence were being spread by Republicans “so scared of losing to Joe Biden, they’ll make anything up.”

Joining in on the lie of Biden’s aptitude was the White House physician, Kevin O’Connor, who claimed that the President was “fit for duty” after his physical in February of 2024. However, the physical was woefully incomplete because Biden did not receive a cognitive test.

According to the authors of a new book,  2024: How Trump Retook the White House, and the Democrats Lost America, Biden’s team debated whether he should take the cognitive test. Ultimately, as reported by The New York Times, his advisers decided “not to have the president take a cognitive test in February 2024, over concerns that taking the test itself would raise more questions about his age.”

Of course, the real problem was that Biden would have failed any type of honest cognitive test, which would have exposed his incompetence and his unsuitability for the world’s most demanding job, President of the United States.

Thus, his aides were attempting to cover up what was obvious for all Americans to see: that Biden was not fit to be President. He belonged as a resident of a nursing home receiving treatment for his age-related illnesses, not living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

While Biden’s mental decline was being hidden by his staff and his physician, Special Counsel Robert Hur was not so forgiving. In his report on Biden’s mishandling of classified documents, Hur refused to indict him because he believed a jury would be sympathetic to a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

Audio of Hur’s interview with Biden was so damaging that it was also covered up and never released to the public. Add that bombshell audio tape to the list of revelations that Attorney General Pam Bondi should provide to the American people.

Despite the best efforts of his handlers to prevent the truth from being disclosed to voters nationwide, Biden’s horrific performance in the June 27, 2024, debate with President Donald Trump settled the question. It was too apparent, no “cheap fakes” in that performance; every American who watched could see that Biden was utterly incompetent.

Yet, Biden performed in the debate the same way he had been acting his whole presidency. Amazingly, his handlers are now trying to convince the American people that the debate opened their eyes.

In another new book, “Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History,” author Chris Whipple writes that in helping Biden prepare for the debate former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain noticed he was “fatigued, befuddled and disengaged.”

Supposedly Klain “was startled. He’d never seen him so exhausted and out of it. Biden was unaware of what was happening in his own campaign. Halfway through the session, the president excused himself and went off to sit by the pool.”

How ridiculous! Was Klain really “startled?” This is the same person who spent countless weekends at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware lounging on a recliner under an umbrella, looking exhausted.

Klain is not the only former staffer peddling such a ridiculous story. Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told Semafor that Biden’s debate performance shocked her. “I never saw that person —not a single time, and I was in the Oval Office every day, that was on that debate stage,” said Psaki.

She absurdly stated that the problem was due to Biden “aging…quite quickly.” Of course, there was nothing quick about Biden’s decline; it was apparent for years. Those who identified the problem were ridiculed and criticized as the Biden White House, the Democrats and the media attempted to cover up the truth.

Once the debate exposed Biden’s true condition, the reelection campaign was over. Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh wrote that the major Democrat donors ended Biden’s second-term dreams when they “called off the game of ‘see no evil, hear no evil.’” Otherwise, the liars supporting Biden, both inside and outside the White House, would have tried to continue the biggest cover-up in American history.

Within weeks of the debate, George Clooney noted Biden’s decline in a damaging editorial in The New York Times and, soon thereafter, Biden withdrew from the campaign and endorsed Kamala Harris.

The consequences of this cover-up included the autopen presidency, the invasion of our southern border, the massive increase of our federal debt, the horrible “woke” and “New Green Deal” policies and the chaos overseas that almost resulted in nuclear war.
