The curtain is about to rise on the Biden White House, and it looks like the show was a tragicomedy all along. The mainstream media may have done its best to mask the president’s escalating gaffes and declining competencies, but investigative reporters from The Wall Street Journal have begun peeling back the layers. As if Biden’s presidency wasn’t enough of a spectacle, the public will soon be treated to a front-row seat of revelations, likely lining the pockets of the first Biden aide brave enough to spill all the beans in a memoir.
The Journal’s investigation seemingly peeled back the veil on how the Biden administration has been run, revealing the degree to which Biden has been hidden from the public eye. This difficulty in communication dates back to his first year in office, notably during the disaster that was the Afghanistan pullout. Even congressional leaders found it nearly impossible to get through to him. One can only wonder if anyone’s tried using a string and tin can.

This deep dive into the administration’s malfunctions didn’t come from casual observations but rather from nearly 50 individuals who directly witnessed or were involved in the operations. It’s the kind of sourcing that would make any fact-checker weep with joy, particularly with quotes from party insiders that convey an utter disbelief at Biden’s grip—or lack thereof—on his own re-election campaign. One Democratic donor apparently found it shocking that Biden’s team insisted on pre-approved questions for a casual gathering. It’s almost reminiscent of a skeptical parent explaining to their child why “it’s not you, it’s me” doesn’t really apply to political gatherings.
Democratic insiders are certainly beginning to sweat bullets. While Biden was busy likening his polling position to a tossup—despite a mountain of evidence indicating otherwise—party members were starting to speak in hushed tones, worrying that their leader wasn’t receiving the reality check he so desperately needed. Indeed, the usual suspects like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer were reportedly expressing serious concern, which, given the current landscape, feels more like an unspoken plea for a lifeboat.
All of this has culminated in a bipartisan “where are you?” message echoing across the political aisle. With Trump still dominating discussions around Congress and international negotiations, Biden’s silence is deafening. While the former president commands attention, the sitting president seems like a figment of a bygone era, more akin to a ghost at a banquet. America is watching other nations make deals with Trump in the backdrop while Biden is reduced to issuing pardons and keeping his calendar surprisingly barren.
The eerie similarities to Woodrow Wilson’s incapacitation during his presidency can’t be overlooked. The question remains whether Jill Biden is the power behind the throne or if Biden’s staff deserves the bulk of the blame for failing to keep the executive branch afloat. As the revelations unfurl, the Biden family’s attempt to conceal the president’s cognitive decline will likely become the stuff of political legend, sparking debates for generations to come. And if The Wall Street Journal’s latest exposé is any indication, the dam holding back the deluge of critical information is already starting to crack. The world has its popcorn ready; let’s see how this drama unfolds.
