by R. Cort Kirkwood, The New American:
Three reports in the last two days reveal that President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline worsened almost as soon as he entered office in 2020, that a phalanx of gatekeepers kept the president hidden away, and that he suffers with “degraded mental faculties” that began just about 12 months after taking office.
The latest in reports from The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and O’Keefe Media Group follows the revelation from a top national security aide that Biden is out of it mentally.

The disclosures explain why President-elect Trump crushed Biden during their debate in June, and why top Democrats let it proceed: so he would lose, which would force him out of the race.
Presidents always have gatekeepers. In Biden’s case, the walls around him were higher and the controls greater as aides managed the limitations of the oldest president in American history.https://t.co/XAZTDHp8Z9

“Diminished Biden”
Remarkably, the Journal’s refreshingly honest headline didn’t sugarcoat the ensuing report: “How the White House Functioned With a Diminished Biden in Charge: Aides kept meetings short and controlled access, top advisers acted as go-betweens and public interactions became more scripted. The administration denied Biden has declined.”
The Journal noted that wife “Dr.” Jill campaigned more than Biden did. When her press spokesman, Michael LaRosa, highlighted that fact to a reporter, Team Biden chastised him: “The message from Biden’s team was clear. ‘The more you talk her up, the more you make him look bad,’” LaRosa said.
But LaRosa’s inadvertently admitting that Biden couldn’t handle the typically long, hectic, and tiring schedule of a major presidential candidate was just the beginning, the newspaper continued:
The small correction foreshadowed how Biden’s closest aides and advisers would manage the limitations of the oldest president in U.S. history during his four years in office.
To adapt the White House around the needs of a diminished leader, they told visitors to keep meetings focused. Interactions with senior Democratic lawmakers and some cabinet members — including powerful secretaries such as Defense’s Lloyd Austin and Treasury’s Janet Yellen — were infrequent or grew less frequent. Some legislative leaders had a hard time getting the president’s ear at key moments, including ahead of the U.S.’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan.
Senior advisers were often put into roles that some administration officials and lawmakers thought Biden should occupy, with people such as National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, senior counselor Steve Ricchetti and National Economic Council head Lael Brainard and her predecessor frequently in the position of being go-betweens for the president.
Translation: Biden can’t handle the job because he is too old and feeble, and again, mentally declining.
As well, aides tightly controlled meetings by limiting who met with him, limiting what they said, and limiting the information he received.
The Journal also explained that Biden couldn’t remember rehearsed material for his interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, who declined to prosecute the president for mishandling classified documents because he didn’t think a jury wouldn’t convict a forgetful, elderly man.
Biden’s every move was scripted, the newspaper continued. “At events, aides often repeated instructions to him, such as where to enter or exit a stage, that would be obvious to the average person.”
