Joe Biden is (Brain) Dead

December 23, 2024 - The Wall Street Journal's timing was nigh-perfect.

Imagine you’re The Editor at a Respected News Organization (the Caps are Important!). You have an explosive report that confirms the President has been incompetent for months, if not years. It implicates many influential people in power in an active coverup of this sad state of affairs. It all but confirms what those crazy tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists have been saying—that the 2020 election was stolen to install a senile puppet in the Oval Office to allow the nation to be run by an unelected Cabal of shadowy figures, in pursuit of an agenda not approved by a majority of Americans.

Your report is ready to go, or very nearly so.

When do you drop the story?

You can’t just kill the report—you’ve had too many people working on it for too long. It WILL leak, and when word gets out that you killed it, you’ll never get that egg off your face.

When it drops, the powerful people and shadowy figures it implicates will NOT be happy with you. That’s bad. Potentially Michael Hastings, Gary Webb, Seth Rich-level bad. Your sole protection is that reporters suddenly acquiring a bad case of Unalive is rare, but…. Most of the people implicated are still reeling from Kamala’s loss and rattled by the fear that Donald Trump and Kash Patel will do to them what they’ve been doing to their opponents for years. There’s not much telling what some of them might do before they start wearing orange.

Yes, it’s almost a guaranteed Pulitzer if you pull it off, but…exploding Mercedes. “Suicide.” “Mugging.” At least it doesn’t directly implicate the Clintons….

If you drop it, say, on 4 PM Christmas Eve, that’s such a blatant “we’re burying this” move that it’ll backfire. It’ll run every hour, on the hour, during the dead news week between Christmas and New Year’s. So, forget that.

Dropping it at 4 PM on the Friday before Christmas is almost as bad. Everyone knows that 4 PM on a Friday is when you release information you want people to ignore, but since you’re entering a news dead zone, it’s also too blatant a “we’re burying this” move. Forget that, too.

Here’s the final kicker: an independent journalist has just released a hidden camera video of a White House insider saying exactly what your report says. You’ve been scooped, but your report is much, much larger. It doesn’t just confirm what the insider told his “date,” it lays out a years-long national scandal and expands it into something potentially bigger than Watergate. This is the kind of thing that topples administrations and sends people to prison—but it never seems to send the ones truly responsible to Club Fed. So, the long-term consequences to you and your organization…well, those powerful people who’ll be very unhappy with you have long memories.

This was the situation the Editors of the WSJ found themselves in last week. On Monday, 12/16, James O’Keefe dropped a hidden camera interview with a White House insider who spilled the beans writers for the WSJ had been diligently collecting on Joe Biden’s horrible mental status for some time.

The insider seemed completely honest when he said, “Joe Biden is, like, dead. Not literally. Like, he, like, can’t say a sentence. He’s like, really, like, progressed in his old age.” That guy’s since been fired, btw. What a lousy Christmas he’s gonna have!

The Journal had been scooped…but they had reams of collaborating testimony from nearly 50 sources that confirmed everything O’Keefe’s latest victim said, and much more.

Put yourself in The Editor’s place. When do you release your story?

How about on a day when most of the media air is being sucked up by yet another squabble about continuing resolutions and a government shutdown? That way it’ll be out there, but hopefully it’ll go unnoticed by the low-info masses who get their Narrative programming from the legacy media.

That’s what the WSJ did. They buried it without burying it last Thursday. Then, they probably went and cried into quite a few craft beers and top shelf cocktails because their Pulitzer Prize-worthy exposé got scooped by one of O’Keefe’s girls with a hidden camera.

There’s no Pulitzer Prize for “further collaboration.” Bummer.

As luck would have it, last Thursday was a very busy day for news in the Imperial Capital, and in days gone by the WSJ’s report might have slipped past under the radar. But, it didn’t.

Pity we have alternatives to the legacy media these days, ain’t it? Because a lot of us noticed the WSJ’s report when it exploded on social media. Some of us didn't learn anything new except some details from this new report, but we certainly noticed it. We noticed, and we remembered all the times over the last four years when we had serious questions about old Joe’s cognitive abilities. From Joe repeating his instructions to “salute the marines” at his inauguration and “I don’t know what I’m signing” the next day, all the way through the June 27th debate when no one could ignore his failing capacity any longer, we remembered.

Some of us even remember back in 2022 when former White House physician-turned-Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson questioned Biden’s mental status, and got himself a scathing email from Barack Obama née Soetoro for his trouble. We remember Nancy Pelosi, even after the debate, insisting that Joe “was attuned to the issues,” “how informed he is,” and “he’s right there” while insinuating that Donald Trump was the one with dementia. We remember Chuck Schumer saying about Biden that “His mental acuity is great, it’s fine, it’s as good as it’s been over the years.” We remember Joe Scarborough on Monday morning Joe saying “he’s cogent, but I undersold him when I said he was cogent. He’s far beyond cogent. In fact, I think he’s better than he’s ever been.”

We remember how Kamala ducked and dodged questions about her boss’ capabilities. We remember what Special Council Hur’s report said. We remember all those times we saw Joe wander off, or get lost during brief remarks or…or…or….

All the lies of the Biden Regime are tumbling down, and the coverup of his mental status is just one of the largest. It’s big enough, organized and complicated enough that it merits being described as a conspiracy or a racket. So, can those involved be RICOed?

Since it apparently started on Joe’s first day in office, and involved the usurpation of the power of the President, isn’t that at least seditious conspiracy, if not outright treason?

If nothing else, what does it mean for the legitimacy of all his Executive Orders? All those pardons and commutations he’s made? The bills he signed into law? If the President isn’t competent to stand trial, how could he be competent to govern—which we all kind of assume means he knows what he’s signing, right?

It looks like we’ve actually been in a rolling constitutional crisis for four years now—so, what’s to be done about it?

You all know my preference. Treat it like the high crime it is, fully investigate all those involved, both in the Democratic Party and their media lapdogs. Charge, try and punish as appropriate, keeping in mind the historic precedents for crimes of this magnitude. Do this not just to punish the guilty, but to ensure it never happens again.

And yet, we all know that won’t happen. There are too many powerful interests who’d be inconvenienced by seeking justice for this. There are too many corrupt and/or compromised people in both parties and the DC Swamp to allow it. Trump and Patel won’t be able to do a fraction of what’s needed to address this mess.

In a just world, this scandal would crack the Democratic Party like the rotten egg it is. It’d finish destroying the reputations of the legacy media. It’d be a major step forward in excising the Deep State from the body politic, draining the Swamp, and restoring government of, by and for the People to these shores.

Pity that ain’t gonna happen. Just like the WSJ’s Pulitzer for their story.
