The New York Magazine, hardly a bastion of conservative or Republican punditry, has broken Axis ranks with a story headlined “The Conspiracy of Silence to Protect Joe Biden.” Longtime Biden family friends and associates admitted to the magazine that Biden’s deterioration has been known for a very long time, and that “they did not want to blow a whistle. They wished that they could whistle past what they knew and emerge in November victorious and relieved, having helped avoid another four years of Trump.”
“When they discussed what they knew, what they had seen, what they had heard, they literally whispered,” the magazine reports. “They were scared and horrified. But they were also burdened. They needed to talk about it (though not on the record). They needed to know that they were not alone and not crazy. Things were bad, and they knew things were bad, and they knew others must also know things were bad, and yet they would need to pretend, outwardly, that things were fine. The president was fine. The election would be fine. They would be fine. To admit otherwise would mean jeopardizing the future of the country and, well, nobody wanted to be responsible personally or socially for that.”
Unethical, indefensible conspiracies often have well-meaning rationalizations behind them. (The horrible imprisoning of law-abiding Japanese-American citizens during WWII is one example.)This is how the Democratic Party has let itself slip into quasi-totalitarianism. It was inevitable that someone in the captive media would reveal this disgusting cover-up. Now it’s out. The absurd enablers, liars and spinners have no traction now. Every one of them should be—must be— mocked, exposed, and permanently relegated to Distrust Purgatory—including the President himself.
“He needs to get more sleep.” Really? That’s the best he can do?
For the record, I wrote and said that Biden was slipping into senility before he was nominated in 2020. It didn’t take any special perception on my part, just eyes and ears, and a belief that the public in a democracy should know who and what they are voting for. The Democrats owe the public a massive, groveling, unequivocal apology. Of course, they won’t give one, because the whole party has allowed itself to rot to its core. maybe beyond repair.
There have to be consequences for such an unprecedented betrayal of trust.

I am of two schools of thought. Accept the revelation at face value to be true. Alternatively, this was a carefully orchestrated piece designed to force the President to withdraw and get the Biden clan to go along.
I am leaning toward door number two. Personally, I would have done it behind closed doors. Just ask the Biden clan how much money they wanted to have Joe resign. It would have been more practical and a lot cleaner.
I’ve been saying for quite a while now…
The political left hiding Biden’s deteriorating mental condition by openly lying about it is just another piece of evidence that supports my statement about their pattern of propaganda lies.
We’re missing the forest for the trees. The Democrats have come to consider any Republican winning the presidency an existential threat to (they say) the country. But of course, it’s simply a threat to their holding onto the presidency and all they think that entails. All the arguments they make are simply interchangeable widgets. There’s no point responding to them, they’ll just toss out another, infinity (as Pee Wee Herman would say). So what if Biden’s demented. TRUMP! Shoes aren’t dropping. “Trump’s demented too! And he’s TRUMP!”
And will any of these people suffer consequences? Hell no. They’re in charge!
So the press is now beginning to admit that it actually tampered with the 2020 election…after spending 4 years trying to find evidence – and failing – that President Trump did just that with Russian help in 2016.
Yet anyone who questions the 2020 results is a “denier”? The Left always accuses others of what they themselves are doing.
The consistent projection is breathtaking, non? It’s as if they say, “Okay. What are we doing? Right. Let’s accuse the Republicans of doing it.”
