  • A new book reveals alarming details about President Biden’s cognitive and physical decline, including internal White House discussions about him potentially needing a wheelchair if re-elected.
  • Biden’s team reportedly concealed his deteriorating health, altering public appearances to hide frailty, while his physician privately warned that his grueling schedule worsened his condition.
  • The book describes shocking moments of disorientation, such as Biden failing to recognize George Clooney at a fundraiser, contradicting White House claims of his robust health.
  • Critics question if the timing of Biden’s prostate nodule announcement is a distraction from the book’s explosive revelations about his decline and cover-up.
  • The Biden administration repeatedly dismissed concerns about his fitness, raising doubts about media transparency and political deception in protecting power.
Just as a bombshell new book exposes the full extent of former President Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical decline during his presidency, including internal White House discussions about him potentially needing a wheelchair, a spokesperson revealed on May 13 that a small nodule was found in Biden’s prostate during a routine exam. The 82-year-old former president, whose mental lapses and deteriorating health were systematically downplayed by his handlers, now faces renewed scrutiny as the public learns more about the severity of his condition—and the lengths his team went to hide it.

A convenient distraction?

The prostate nodule, which requires further evaluation, was disclosed the same day excerpts from Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, co-authored by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson, began circulating. The book, based on over 200 interviews with Democratic insiders, paints a damning portrait of a president in steep decline, with aides allegedly discussing the possibility of Biden requiring a wheelchair if re-elected. “Biden’s physical deterioration—most apparent in his halting walk—had become so severe that there were internal discussions about putting the president in a wheelchair, but they couldn’t do so until after the election,” the authors write. The revelation aligns with earlier reports that Biden’s team meticulously managed his public appearances to conceal his frailty, even altering event logistics to minimize his risk of stumbling.

Cognitive lapses and cover-ups

The book also details shocking moments of disorientation, including Biden failing to recognize actor George Clooney at a high-profile fundraiser in June 2024. According to the excerpt published in The New Yorker, an aide had to remind Biden who Clooney was after the president appeared confused. “It seemed clear that the President had not recognized Clooney,” the authors noted. Clooney, reportedly “shaken to his core” by the encounter, later penned a scathing op-ed urging Biden to drop out of the race. These incidents contrast sharply with the White House’s relentless insistence that Biden was “healthy, active, and robust.” His physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, repeatedly downplayed concerns, even as Biden’s public stumbles—like freezing on stage or requiring guidance from Barack Obama—went viral. The book reveals O’Connor privately clashed with Biden’s political team, warning that the grueling schedule was worsening his condition.

A pattern of deception

The Biden administration’s strategy was clear: deny, deflect, and discredit. When the Wall Street Journal reported in June 2024 that Biden showed “signs of slipping” in private meetings, Democrats and their media allies dismissed it as partisan smears. Even after Biden’s catastrophic debate performance in which he froze mid-sentence and mumbled incoherently, his spokespeople doubled down, blaming jet lag or “cheap fakes.” Now, with the prostate nodule announcement, critics question whether this is another attempt to soften public perception ahead of the book’s release. After years of gaslighting Americans about Biden’s fitness, will the media finally acknowledge the truth? The American people deserve leaders who are honest about their capacity to govern. Biden’s team prioritized political survival over transparency, hiding his decline until it became impossible to ignore. The prostate nodule may be a legitimate health concern, but its timing—alongside revelations of a far graver cover-up—demands skepticism. If there’s one lesson from this saga, it’s that power corrupts, and those who cling to it will deceive the public to keep it. The full truth, as always, lies beyond the carefully crafted narratives. And it’s clearer than ever that the legacy media can no longer be trusted to report it. Sources for this article include: TheEpochTimes.com ABCNews.go.com CNN.com FoxNews.com Axios.com
