A presidential health crisis that ultimately resulted in the first lady of the United States wielding extraordinary power while covering up the president’s condition began in Pueblo more than a century ago. That crisis and the ensuing cover-up have similarities to today’s controversy regarding the physical and mental abilities of President Joe Biden. President Woodrow Wilson was elected in 1912 largely due to the split within the Republican Party when former President Theodore Roosevelt ran on the Progressive Party ticket against Wilson and incumbent Republican President William Howard Taft. Narrowly reelected in 1916, Wilson was only the second Democrat to...

House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) revealed in a bombshell interview with Jason Chaffetz that his committee has identified the shadowy White House staffers responsible for wielding President Joe Biden’s infamous autopen during a period when Biden was “clearly in mental decline.” The autopen scandal first erupted in March when President Trump, in a fiery late-night Truth Social post, declared Joe Biden’s autopen pardons “VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT.” Trump revealed that Biden, whom he branded “the Worst President in the History of our Country,” did not personally sign the pardons, nor was he even aware...

A former top staffer in the Biden White House said on Fox News Sunday that former First Lady Jill Biden’s strategy to prop up former President Joe Biden in public is only harming the Biden legacy. Michael LaRosa, who served as a longtime press secretary to Jill Biden, admitted that Biden’s team is mishandling the fallout regarding his cognitive decline and Joe Biden’s initial decision to seek reelection in 2024. Despite his affection for the Bidens, the former aide urged Jill and Joe Biden to reconsider how they are handling media appearances in the post-presidency period because their current strategy...

The Hur tapes expose what we knew all along: The Democrat cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline is the biggest scandal in U.S. political history. It might be a bigger scandal than we knew. We found out today that Joe Biden has an advanced form of prostate cancer, and it has spread to his bones. How long did people know he had cancer, and who knew? I am reposting two medical opinions because they open up an important question about how long everyone knew Biden had cancer. In 2022, Biden said he had cancer, and we thought it was just another...

The ousted Democratic leader then asserted that had he not bowed out of the last presidential contest, he would have won — pointing to Trump getting “7 million fewer votes” nationwide than in their 2020 matchup. “A lot of people didn’t show up,” Biden said of the 2024 election. Asked by co-host Joy Behar why Trump remains “so fixated on you” and blames him for faults in the last administration, Biden replied: “I beat him.”

Joe and Jill Biden traveled to Rome to attend the funeral of Pope Francis at the Vatican on Saturday morning. The funeral service for Pope Francis was held at St. Peter’s in Rome on Saturday as world leaders gathered. .... Snip.... At one point, Joe Biden needed assistance walking down the steps. He grabbed Nurse Jill and a priest for dear life as he made his way down the steps. Biden’s death grip on the priest’s arm was something else. WATCH:

VIDEOIt sure looks like something strange happened when Joe Biden leaned forward to pray during the Pope's funeral. Notice that Jill Biden right away moved forward to tell Joe something. The people around them also noticed something strange. Did they also smell something strange? Was it something embarrassing? Something like what happened when he previously visited Vatican City? Accidents happen and sometimes they do repeat themselves in the same places.

More often than not, Jill Biden gets it right with her fashion choices (remember that stunning 2024 DNC outfit?) But, much like Ivanka Trump's outfits that missed the mark, the former first lady proved having designers falling over themselves to dress you — and a no doubt impressive fashion budget — still doesn't guarantee a great outfit.Being one of the most visible people in the world during her time in the White House meant Jill had to think hard about her outfits, which she admitted came as a surprise. "It's kind of surprising, I think, how much commentary is made...

And he doubled down during his conversation with Uygur.The ex-staffer said that the Biden team acted like it was operating “out of a bunker” from the moment its principal took the oath of office in 2021, which he professed...

While former convicted felon Hunter Biden enjoys a luxurious vacation in South Africa, with round-the-clock Secret Service protection paid for by the taxpayer, the first whistleblower to report Biden corruption is being brutalized in a Cyprus jail cell. Gal Luft, the Israeli-American professor who told the FBI in 2019 that Hunter and his uncle Jim Biden were paid millions by a Chinese company while Joe Biden was VP, has been in a bleak Cypriot jail for six months awaiting extradition over what he says are politically motivated charges carried over from the Biden Department of Justice. Luft was set to...

A judge in Washington D.C. denied on Tuesday federal prosecutors' motion to detain the two men impersonating federal agents because he says he isn't convinced that there are links to Pakistan intelligence. He also claimed that deleting social media posts wasn't proof that the other defendant would tamper with evidence, as federal lawyers argued. I am going to 'deny the government's request that the two defendants be held pending trial,' Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey said during proceedings Tuesday.

Harvey ordered both men to remain in home confinement, subject to GPS monitoring, with their parents and that they surrender their passports and stay away from airports and embassies. Harvey agreed to stay his order until Wednesday morning...

Mark Zuckerberg says officials from the Biden administration would 'scream' and 'curse' at them to censor anti-vaxxers Nancy Pelosi acknowledged that there has been no communication between her and former President Joe Biden after the former House speaker was asked about ex-first lady Jill Biden’s reported disappointment in her during an interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Thursday.

Donald Trump and Joe Biden exchanged smiles for the cameras as they met at the White House on Monday morning ahead of the president-elect formally taking power. The president-elect and Melania Trump walked up the front stairs hand-in-hand, where President Biden and first lady Jill Biden awaited them. 'Welcome home,' Biden told Trump.
