Axios reporter Alex Thompson said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that former President Joe Biden’s inner circle of family and advisors chose loyalty to him over duty to the country. Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “So every White House, no matter which party Republican or Democrat administration part of the job is to make the president look good.” He asked, “What makes this administration do what they did to protect their principal? Why is that a cover-up?” Thompson said, “I think a lot of these things start innocently enough, to your point. You know, the speechwriting team early on realized that...

President Donald Trump used a White House meeting to confront South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, accusing his country of failing to address the killing of white farmers. "People are fleeing South Africa for their own safety," said Trump, who at one point dimmed the lights in the Oval Office to play a video of a communist politician playing a controversial anti-apartheid song that includes lyrics about killing a farmer. "Their land is being confiscated and in many cases they're being killed." Ramaphosa, who sat quietly watching these videos, pushed back against Trump's accusation. "I'd like to know where that is...

The White House doctor who previously gave now former President Joe Biden a clean bill of health is a longtime family friend — as speculation of a cover-up over his new cancer diagnosis continues to ramp up. Dr. Kevin O’Connor served as the 82-year-old’s official physician during his White House stint — and repeatedly insisted for years that Biden was in top mental shape despite his obvious cognitive decline. Now, in the wake of Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis, O’Connor’s longstanding relationship with the Biden clan has come under renewed scrutiny. The physician also has business ties to Biden’s young brother,...

On Monday’s broadcast of Comedy Central’s “Daily Show,” host Jon Stewart stated that the attempt to hide then-President Joe Biden’s mental decline “was a terrible coverup, because we all f*cking knew. All of us knew. There was no coverup. Poll after poll showed vast majorities of the public thought Biden was too old and too out of it to run again.” While discussing the book “Original Sin” by CNN host Jake Tapper and Axios National Political Correspondent and CNN Contributor Alex Thompson on Biden’s mental fitness and the promotion for the book in light of Biden’s cancer diagnosis, Stewart mocked...

Ezekiel Emanuel said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that there are a lot of life-extending treatments available to treat former President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer. Emanuel said, “When you have a lesion that’s in the bone, and therefore it’s metastatic and incurable, the prostate cancer will not go away. He will have it, that doesn’t mean he’s going to die from it because there are a lot of treatments. There’s androgen blockade that’s basically preventing the testosterone from circulating. There’s also androgen receptor signaling inhibitors, a second line of treatment that prevents, when the androgen does bind to the cell...

CNN analyst Brian Stelter has questioned the timing of Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis announcement — insisting it’s “extraordinary” the news broke just as the former president was battling an onslaught of criticism over his mental decline while in the White House. “The timing … is just extraordinary,” the anchor said on the left-leaning network Sunday. “We know from the statement from his personal spokesman that Biden learned of the diagnosis on Friday. “Well, what was the biggest Biden story on Friday? It was the release of those audio excerpts from his conversations with Robert Hur back in 2023,” he noted.

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” CNN Senior Justice Correspondent Evan Pérez reacted to audio of then-President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur by saying that the interview took place right after the October 7 attack when Biden “had spent that entire time, obviously, on the phone and working long hours.” And so you could wonder if Biden’s struggles in the interview are “because of fatigue” or due to his decline. After agreeing with host Jake Tapper that Biden’s decline got particularly bad in 2023, Pérez stated, “They did not want this to come out before the...

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) responded to questions on if she saw signs of President Joe Biden’s decline by saying that she didn’t see Biden that often and she “can’t speak to that directly.” Co-host Pamela Brown asked, “You were a co-chair of the Biden-Harris campaign. You stuck with Biden until he dropped out of the race. Given your position in the campaign, what signs of decline did you notice?” Whitmer responded, “I have not read the book. I can tell you this, that, if, as the book reports, Cabinet members didn’t have...

Doctors discovered a “small nodule” in former President Joe Biden’s prostate during a recent physical, which required more examination, according to several reports. A spokesperson confirmed to ABC News that “In a routine physical exam a small nodule was found in the prostate which necessitated further evaluation.” Per the outlet: A “small nodule” can mean a wide range of things and will require further testing to understand the underlying cause. It is too early to say if it is a benign lump caused by inflammation or something more serious. A spokesman also confirmed to the New York Times that Biden...

Former President Joe Biden and former first lady Jill Biden are weighing a $30 million tell-all book deal that would likely include details from the diary Jill kept during her time at the White House, The Daily Mail reported. “She could write a very explosive book if she wanted to,” a former White House aide told the outlet. The joint book deal is contingent on Jill, whom experts say could be worth $15 million on her own, according to the report. However, Jill would likely be required to reveal details surrounding her husband’s declining mental health, as well as his...

WASHINGTON — Former President Joe Biden has told some Democratic leaders he’ll raise funds, campaign and do anything else necessary for Democrats to recover lost ground as the Trump administration rolls back programs the party helped design, according to people close to him. Biden privately met last month with the new Democratic National Committee chairman, Ken Martin, and offered to help as the party struggles to regain its viability amid polling that shows its popularity has been sinking, the people said. So far, Biden's overture seems to have fallen flat. Democrats find themselves adrift, casting about for a compelling messenger....

More video has been uncovered of CNN’s Jake Tapper actively engaging in the conspiracy to cover up Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline. The backlash against CNN’s Jake Tapper and the bubbled arrogance that led him to write a book about the cover-up of Joe Biden’s obvious unfitness to be president has been both fierce and glorious. Tapper must think it’s still 2013, a time when the regime media’s snooty hubris could power them through any hypocrisy. Well, those days are over. Social Media and New Media are both blistering Tapper with multiple exhibits proving he actively engaged in covering...

A staggering 75 percent of Democrats do not believe President Joe Biden’s deputies deliberately kept the border open for migrants, according to a February poll by Harvard Harris. The February 19-20 poll of 2,443 registered voters comes just weeks after President Donald Trump deliberately shut down Biden’s destructive, expensive, and deadly migration during his first few hours in the White House. Fifty-two percent of Americans and 80 percent of Republicans recognize Biden’s Democrats — led by pro-migration border chief Alejandro Mayorkas — deliberately encouraged the inflow of up to nine million southern migrants.

Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman told President Donald Trump in a phone call his country hoped to invest at least $600 billion in American ventures in the next four years, the Saudi Foreign Ministry confirmed on Thursday. Mohammed bin Salman held a congratulatory phone call with Trump and separately spoke to Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday, celebrating the “strength of the U.S.-Saudi partnership in this time of momentous change.” The Crown Prince is widely considered the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia representing the interests of the elderly King Salman. The optimism and hopes for...

Migrants waiting in Mexico for an appointment with the Biden administration’s CBP One app broke down in tears after learning their appointments were canceled immediately as President Trump took office on Monday. CBP One went offline at 12 p.m. EST Monday, according to an announcement from Customs and Border Protection. It’s just one small part of Trump’s promises to make sweeping reforms at the southern border beginning the first day of his second term. The app allowed tens of thousands of migrants into the US. Up to 1,450 migrants per day were allowed to schedule immigration appointments and request asylum...

CNN analyst Scott Jennings was among those ripping the “farce” of President Biden’s farewell address late Wednesday -– as others panned the bitter goodbye remarks as the “worst in presidential history.” The reactions poured in as the country’s oldest-ever president attempted to take a victory lap despite his administration’s failings leaving him the octogenarian with record-low popularity. “When I watch this tonight, I remain astonished that he, his family and other people around him thought he could ever run for another term,” Jennings, who worked in the George W. Bush administration, told CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360.” “There’s no way he...

President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief has extended temporary amnesty for 850,000 illegal and quasi-legal economic migrants until 2026, further suppressing American wages and spiking their rents. The 18-month expansion of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) amnesty was announced by outgoing border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas. The beneficiaries include 234,000 illegal migrants from El Salvador who first got their TPS status after a 2001 earthquake that wrecked their home nation’s economy. The small nation’s economy is now growing amid the successful suppression of gang crime by the nation’s popular President, Nayib Bukele. So Mayorkas’s press statement blamed bad weather for his...

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) claimed Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he and other top Democrats did not mislead the American public about President Joe Biden’s decline in mental acuity. Host Kristen Welker said, “Obviously, there has been a lot of focus on President Biden’s role in this. You were, obviously, in close contact with President Biden well before the public tuned into that debate that ultimately led to him stepping down. I want to play you a little bit of something you said last year. Take a look. In 2024, on Capitol Hill, Schumer said, “I...

Less than a quarter of Americans are satisfied with President Joe Biden’s America, a Gallup poll found this week. Biden will depart the White House next month with Americans feeling very pessimistic about the direction of the nation. Americans voted in November for change, electing President-elect Donald Trump to lead the nation after years of managed decline. Under Biden’s leadership and his vow to unite the nation, America suffered the deadly Afghanistan withdrawal, soaring inflation, the weaponization of justice, the prosecution of political opponents, and a gridlocked Congress unable to solve the nation’s woes.

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox News @ Night,” former Kamala Harris Campaign Surrogate Lindy Li said she believes that President Joe Biden is burning things down at the urging of First Lady Jill Biden and cited him coming out against stock trading by members of Congress. Host Kevin Corke asked, “This is from the Daily Mail, this is a piece from Emily [Goodin], very interesting, the headline reads, in part, ‘How Vengeful Jill Biden Is Urging ‘Depressed’ Joe to ‘Burn the Whole Thing Down’ in Their Final Days’, it reads in part, ‘Jill views Democrats on...
