In a bid to tout his book Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, CNN's Jake Tapper agreed to be interviewed on "Piers Morgan: Uncensored." In his book, Tapper attempted to contrast the Biden cover-up to former President Richard Nixon's Watergate scandal to imply that Watergate was worse. Morgan asserted "I am not entirely sure I agree with that conclusion. Nixon was not non compos mentis. He had some notable accomplishments like achieving detente with Russia, establishing diplomatic relations with China, and abolishing the military draft. His effort to spy on the Democrats...

ABC News is reporting that Republicans are planning to investigate Biden’s mental decline, but they frame it on Twitter/X and in the actual report as “what they call Biden’s decline.” Jake Tapper and other liberal journalists are writing books about Biden’s mental decline and doing massive media tours to promote these books, but when Republicans decide to investigate, suddenly it’s framed as a partisan accusation. Also, when did investigations become a bad thing? Democrats and the media sure seemed to love them when they focused on Trump. Take a look at this:

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) said that part of the reason for the coverup of former President Joe Biden’s mental fitness is because Democrats feared being honest would help Donald Trump. CNN host and “Original Sin” co-author Jake Tapper asked, “[D]on’t you think, also, one of the issues for your party was the idea that Donald Trump, Democrats perceived him to be an existential threat to the world and only Joe Biden had ever beaten Donald Trump, therefore, he had to be the nominee again and any word that deviated from that was helping...

HBO host Bill Maher talked to Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) and Jake Tapper on Friday's "Real Time" about left-wing extremism on college campuses. "There is this idea on campuses. It's not just the Israeli thing," Maher said about radicalism on the campus. It's that all of Western civilization is suspect." "And, you know, I'm not saying Trump is a guy reading historians every night, but to the average person, he seems to get the idea, Western civilization good, that a lot of these kids don't," Maher added. BILL MAHER: What is odd to me that there would be so much...

As the ongoing court case with President Trump over the Kamala Harris pre-election interview continues, CBS and parent company Paramount Global are becoming more mired in trauma. This week, the announcement was that in their desire to end the process, and facilitate a pending corporate merger, Paramount was offering a $15 million settlement. Trump has rejected that outright. He has called for the sum to be $25 million, but that may not be the hitch in getting an agreement, given this is holding up the merger valued at roughly $8 billion. It appears that his demand for full retraction and...

“The modern politics of division have become a banally hectoring faux morality play put on by the theater kids for the other theater kids.” —El Gato Malo on X. President Trump Alone While Jake Tapper leads the Mea Culpa Chorus singing Kumbaya in a minor key, absolutely nobody is fooled that the grotesque psychotic deformities of US politics can be reduced to a few White House factotums lying to the news media about “Joe Biden’s” cognitive abilities. For one thing, the news media was not lied to. The news media (including Jake) lied to the nation, consistently, flagrantly, mendaciously, for...

During an appearance on Bill Maher’s show this weekend, CNN’s Jake Tapper suggested that Biden’s mental decline was responsible for the border crisis of the last four years, claiming that it wasn’t official policy. This is ridiculous. So much of Tapper’s book and the media tour to promote it is about rewriting history and this is just one more example. It is obvious that what happened at the border was policy. It was a strategy to flood the country with new Democrat voters in an effort to change the electorate. Jake Tapper claims that Joe Biden’s mental deterioration led to...

Former US President Joe Biden delivered his first public address since the announcement of his Stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis, participating in a Memorial Day commemoration in his home state of Delaware on Friday. Speaking to reporters following the event, Biden addressed his health and his decision not to seek re-election in 2024. Biden firmly dismissed any concerns regarding his cognitive and physical fitness. "You can see that I‘m mentally incompetent and I can‘t walk, and I can beat the hell out of both of them," he quipped in response to a reporter's query about discussions surrounding his health during...

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called on former first lady Jill Biden to “answer for” her role in the massive cover-up of her husband’s declining mental aptitude, accusing her of still “lying to the American people.” Leavitt unleashed her fiery tirade against the wife of former President Joe Biden while speaking to reporters on Thursday: “I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak up about what she saw in regards to her husband… Because I think anybody, looking again at the videos and photo evidence of Joe Biden, with your own eyes and a little bit of...

The massive coverup of Joe Biden’s mental decline has stimulated plenty of indignant commentary. Missing from the hand-wringing is a demand for accountability, which brings to mind the quip: “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” This newspaper and recently published books have exposed the trickery and lies of Mr. Biden’s minions and Democratic allies, who attempted to wield power in a leaderless vacuum. It was perfectly described in Tunku Varadarajan’s review of Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s book, “Original Sin,” as resembling “a hush-hush leftist capture of an infirm president.” A White House cadre, with...

The FBI determined that Fusion GPS -- hired by Clinton's campaign -- likely served as a coordinating hub for creating several bogus Trump-Russia dossiers, and noted an unusually cozy relationship between Fusion GPS and the Department of Justice. A newly declassified FBI memo detailing the findings of its probe into Fusion GPS contractor Nellie Ohr about the veracity of her testimony to Congress delivers new details about the Hillary Clinton campaign’s fingerprints on the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation. The New York Post reported that Ohr, the wife of a former Justice Department official, gave “demonstrably false” testimony to Congress...

CNN cut away from Joe Biden after he got in a female reporter’s face, suggested he’s not mentally stable and claimed he can “beat the hell” out of Jake Tapper. 82-year-old Biden delivered remarks at a Memorial Day Event in New Castle, Delaware, on Friday. This is the first time Biden has spoken publicly since his cancer diagnosis. Or rather, since Biden admitted he has metastatic cancer.

CNN host Jake Tapper had his lowest-rated month in nearly a decade in May despite a whirlwind publicity tour giving him an onslaught of attention. Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson’s new book, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” was released in May to much fanfare. The book helped set the recent news cycle with new accusations of the Biden White House hiding the truth about the former president’s fitness for office. To promote the project, Tapper has embarked on a wide-ranging book tour that landed him on a variety of podcasts,...

This could be awkward. The New York State Attorney General is bouncing from one hot seat to the next, and darn if that isn't an unpleasant mental picture. But she brought it all on herself. Already under fire for her creative accounting tricks and faulty memories while juggling paperwork for out-of-state properties while looking as if she was trying to avoid more city interference and fees on her Brooklyn residence - and who hasn't mistakenly said they married a parent on official documents? 🚨BREAKING: Letitia James is facing 30 years in federal prison and a 1 million dollar fine. She...

Ex-Obama aide and “Pod Save America” co-host Jon Lovett admitted on Jon Stewart’s “The Weekly Show” podcast that he withheld his concerns about President Joe Biden’s physical decline during the 2024 campaign. Lovett told Stewart and his fellow “Pod Save America” host Jon Favreau that he didn’t want to publicly voice his concern over Biden’s declining health because he wanted him “to f—— win.” “I remember feeling I want to talk about this as a huge liability. To talk about this is something Joe Biden can overcome, but I’m not going to go so far as to say, ‘I think...

Reality check: Trump has singled out ActBlue, the Democratic fundraising platform, for federal scrutiny of possible illegal foreign contributions. ActBlue has admitted to more than 200 such questionable donations. Democrats fear that they’re being targeted for political retaliation, and that a probe could force ActBlue to shut down. But AP’s Brian Slodysko and Steve Peoples sifted through Trump’s records and found that he got 1,600 similarly maybe-problematic contributions since 2020 — many through WinRed, Republicans’ answer to ActBlue. The response: The White House didn’t specifically address the AP’s findings, but said House Republicans had “uncovered specific evidence of potentially unlawful...

An energy watchdog group wants to know whether eight of President Joe Biden’s far-left executive orders related to energy were signed by autopen.Power the Future argues that Biden never mentioned the orders publicly, which raises the corollary question of whether the mentally addled president even knew about them, and whether his radical underlings wrote and signed them.The questions are important because of the autopen scandal that surfaced in March. It raised the question of whether autopenned orders — including presidential pardons — are valid.Power The Future’s also invites a look at House Speaker Mike Johnson’s claim that Biden didn’t know...

President Trump’s Crypto Czar David Sacks just exposed Elizabeth Warren aka “Pocahontas” as the one running Biden’s autopen: “It wasn’t Biden. Elizabeth Warren controlled the autopen.” ... David Sacks .. What the Biden administration was doing—and let’s face it, it wasn’t Biden. Elizabeth Warren controlled the autopen during that administration. She, for some reason, has this pathological hatred of the crypto community. She wants to drive this community offshore.” ~The Vigilant Fox
