The day has finally come. After a long legal battle, the House Oversight Project has begun releasing the audiotapes of Joe Biden’s conversation with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer back in 2017. As you may recall, Joe Biden fought tooth and nail for years to keep these recordings from coming out. And now, we know why. Not only do the tapes reveal that President Autopen disclosed classified information to his ghostwriter. But, they show that he knowingly did so. At several points in the recordings, Biden clearly mentions that he is discussing “classified” details. SNIP

A trove of secretive audio tapes showcasing former President Joe Biden's 'poor memory' and 'diminished faculties' have been released The recordings were made by the ghostwriter who assisted in the publication Biden's 2017 book Promise Me, Dad. They were shared by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee, who began publishing the audio files for the first time Monday evening In one of the sit-downs, Biden struggled to speak at all for several minutes, and only after he was prompted by the ghostwriter, Marc Zwonitzer

Audio recordings that former President Joe Biden fought for years to keep private have now been released. The roughly 70 hours of audio recordings, shared with CBS News, were cited in a 2024 special counsel's report, which said Biden kept volumes of notes at his home that included classified information. Biden, now 83, is at one point in the recordings heard telling his ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer: "Some of this may be classified … So, be careful. I'm not sure ... It's not marked classified but —" At another point in the recordings he says again: "The next thing I have...

🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL: DC US Appeals Court delivers MAJOR BLOW to Joe Biden, BLOCKING his emergency suit to prevent the release of the devastating 5-hour Special Counsel Robert Hur tapes He’s DESPERATELY trying to hide it! These tapes prove he was not fit for office. Expose it all and overturn the autopen pardons! MULTIPLE people who were pardoned need to face justice 🔥 H/t @axios @ItsYourGov

Recently in the news, Dr. Jill Biden shared she was afraid that her husband Joe Biden had a stroke during the June 27, 2024 presidential debate between then President Biden and Republican nominee and now President Donald Trump. Immediately after the debate, Jill said, looking at her husband in the eye while on national TV, “Joe, you did such a great job, you answered every question; you knew all the facts.” Then she turned to the partisan crowd and said, “What did Trump do? He lied.” Here we are two years later and who is the liar? It’s Jill Biden,...

Dementia is a degenerative disease that no known drug can completely stop or reverse, despite decades of tests. Now, a historically vilified psychedelic is emerging as a possible new avenue for controlling Alzheimer's symptoms. Neuroscientists around the world are starting to investigate if psilocybin – the psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms – can help protect the aging brain. A recent case study in Brazil hints at that tantalizing possibility. It reports that after a patient in her 80s with advanced Alzheimer's disease took a high dose of psilocybin-containing mushrooms, she temporarily regained bladder control and the ability to speak beyond...

Gerardo Hernandez, a spy for Communist Cuba and the man responsible for the murder of four humanitarian workers (three of whom were American citizens) over international waters, was freed from prison last year by the Obama administration, due in part to the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). This was revealed at a February 6, 2015, celebration of Hernandez’s release, along with two of his fellow Cuban agents (collectively known as the “Cuban 5.. At the beginning of the event, an IPS official thanked all who who took part in the 17-year campaign and singled out a number of organizations that...

Serious moves are afoot to allow ending the lives of dementia patients, either by allowing them to be killed by lethal jab euthanasia if requested in a written advance directive (where legal), or to allow a document to be signed requiring caregivers to withhold sufficient food and water to sustain life. New Jersey seems to move subtly in the latter direction with a vaguely worded bill, S.B. 4186, that could open the door to intentional legal undernourishment. From the bill: It is the public policy of this State to respect the dignity, autonomy, and previously expressed wishes of individuals living...

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) doesn’t think 100 is too old to serve in Congress, as we reported last week. Despite twice being duped by Russian comedians and regularly making little sense, the 87-year-old is hitting the campaign trial once again this year to seek a 19th term, which would have her serving 38 years in office. And she’s not alone, as other members of Congress are showing advanced signs of senility and, in some cases, dementia — but remain determined to stay the course. Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) Florida Democrat Frederica Wilson, 83, has had a month-long, unexplained absence from...

A new study by Texas A&M University scientists offers fresh clues to a long-standing puzzle: why people who drink coffee tend to live longer and develop fewer chronic diseases. Their results suggest brewed coffee contains compounds that interact with a little-understood protein in the body, potentially influencing inflammation, aging and cancer-related processes. Hailemariam et al. demonstrate that brewed coffee and its major polyphenolics and polyhydroxy constituents are NR4A1 ligands and that NR4A1 may play an important role in the health-protective effects of coffee. Image credit: Sci.News. “Coffee is the most highly consumed beverage worldwide,” said Texas A&M University’s Professor Stephen...

(Photo credit: Exclusive Image for Unsplash+) Research Shows That Avoiding Eggs Entirely Linked To 22% Higher Risk Of Memory-Stealing Disease In A Nutshell People who ate eggs regularly had lower Alzheimer’s diagnosis rates over 15 years. The lowest risk appeared in those eating eggs five or more times per week. Eggs provide nutrients linked to brain health, including choline and vitamin B12. The study shows a connection, not proof that eggs prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Eggs have spent decades bouncing between dietary hero and villain, praised for their protein one year and vilified for their cholesterol the next. A new study...

Scientists are working to understand how aging itself can be modified to prevent age-related diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. A new study has discovered that calcium alpha-ketoglutarate (CaAKG), a safe, naturally occurring metabolite commonly studied for healthy aging, can restore key memory-related brain functions that have been disrupted in Alzheimer's disease. The main aim of the study was to evaluate whether CaAKG could also enhance synaptic plasticity in the Alzheimer's brain, restore memory-related signaling, protect neurons from early degenerative changes, and contribute to healthier cognitive aging. The study shows that CaAKG helps brain cells communicate better in Alzheimer's disease models. It...

The parents of a girl with 'childhood dementia' have revealed why they felt they had no choice but to terminate their much-wanted second pregnancy after discovering their unborn child also has the disease. Leni Forrester, now two, was born seemingly healthy to parents Emily, 33, and Angus, 35, from London. But when a close family member underwent genetic testing six months ago, their lives changed forever when results showed the family carried a recessive gene which can cause Sanfilippo syndrome, a rare genetic disorder dubbed childhood dementia. The degenerative disease causes children to gradually lose all the motor skills they've...

Donald Trump has encountered online mockery after disclosing he completed a cognitive test three times, amidst worries about his well-being. Concerns regarding the president's cognitive health have been escalating recently. Since beginning his second term in office, Trump has displayed a series of unusual symptoms, including bruising on his hands and apparent mental disorientation. Despite performing his duties as normal, many consider that the situation has reached a pivotal point in recent weeks. * * * Multiple individuals referenced a test he allegedly took as a screening tool to detect dementia in patients. @JoJoFromJerz questioned: "Why does he think bragging...

A daily cup of coffee or tea may do more than wake you up—it could also help keep your brain sharp as you age. New research tracking hundreds of thousands of people over decades suggests that moderate caffeine consumption is linked to a lower risk of developing dementia.“Caffeine increases the brain’s activity and can accelerate the speed of messages between the brain and the body,” Jolene Knight, psychiatric nurse practitioner at Stony Brook Medicine’s Center of Excellence for Alzheimer’s disease, and not involved in the study, told The Epoch Times. Caffeine Linked to 20 Percent Risk ReductionThe study, recently published...

Officers were dispatched to a business to assist an elderly customer who appeared to be suffering from dementia. At the scene, officers found him extremely confused. He told them the year was 1948 and that the president was George Washington. So they call his daughter to come pick him up. So how did things go so terribly wrong that day, that this 74 year old man ended up dying alone in a jail cell 9 hours later, confined in a restraint chair with a hood over his head? The story of Lester Isbill is one that could happen to anyone....

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D) reportedly wants to push California Gov. Gavin Newsom as the 2028 Democratic nominee for president. Sources close to Pelosi told Axios that the Democratic Party leader has been pushing Newsom for 2028 behind closed doors, given that the two have been working together, going back to his days as San Francisco mayor. “Pelosi has one of the strongest donor networks in Democratic politics. She’s been a key validator for Newsom as he’s emerged on the national stage and become one of President Trump’s most visible foes,” noted Axios. …

Chlamydia pneumoniae—a common bacterium that causes pneumonia and sinus infections—can linger in the eye and brain for years and may aggravate Alzheimer's disease, according to a study. The discovery suggests this bacterium can amplify Alzheimer's disease and points to potential interventions including inflammation-limiting therapies and early antibiotic treatment. The study shows for the first time that Chlamydia pneumoniae can reach the retina—the tissue lining the back of the eye—where it triggers immune responses linked to inflammation, nerve cell death and cognitive decline. "Seeing Chlamydia pneumoniae consistently across human tissues, cell cultures and animal models allowed us to identify a previously...

Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact visions. Every year, doctors at a hospital in the Yunnan Province of China brace themselves for an influx of people with an unusual complaint. The patients come with a strikingly odd symptom: visions of pint-sized, elf-like figures – marching under doors, crawling up walls and clinging to furniture. The hospital treats hundreds of these cases every year. All share a common culprit: Lanmaoa asiatica, a type of mushroom that forms symbiotic relationships with pine trees in nearby...

Low-fat dairy and other dairy foods showed no clear association.People who regularly ate higher-fat cheese and cream had a lower risk of developing dementia over 25 years, while low-fat dairy and other dairy foods showed no clear association, according to a new study. Those who consumed 50 grams per day or more of high-fat cheese daily – roughly a third of a cup – had a lower overall risk of dementia, vascular dementia, a form of cognitive decline caused by impaired blood flow to the brain, according to the 25-year Swedish study of nearly 28,000 people published in Neurology, the...
