Undercover footage released by investigative journalist James O’Keefe has left many Americans scratching their heads — and in some cases, laughing out loud. A National Security Council adviser has been caught admitting to the alarming reality of President Biden’s mental acuity. Let’s just say, he’s not exactly winning any spelling bees. In the candid discussion, the adviser, Henry Appel, characterized the president’s current state of affairs as “like dead,” which raises the question: how bad does it really need to get before anyone takes notice?
Appel, who is employed in the Intelligence Programs Directorate of the NSC, didn’t shy away from discussing the difficulties his team faces when trying to brief the President. He described Biden as struggling to put together a coherent sentence, which begs the question: is he fit to lead the free world? Appel’s account of a recent call, during which Biden reportedly misunderstood the term “novel phenomenon” for a book reference, sounds like something out of a comedy sketch rather than a serious governmental briefing.
WHOA: NSC advisor for Biden admin is allegedly seen on undercover video captured by OMG talking about Joe Biden's mental decline.
"He'll be dead in a year."
"He can't say a sentence."

The comedic highlights didn’t stop there. Appel recounted a phone call where Biden, seemingly lost in his own world, repeatedly asked for National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, despite Appel’s attempts to clarify that Sullivan was indeed on the same trip. This is the leader of the free world, folks. Misplacing a senior adviser while you’re on the same plane? Now that’s a plot twist worthy of a sitcom.
What’s more alarming are the implications of these revelations within the White House. Appel expressed that officials felt “trauma-bonded” after the 2020 election because of their fears about a potential Trump comeback in 2024. Isn’t that just rich? Biden’s staff seems more concerned about a Trump presidency than addressing the concerns about their own boss’s diminishing communication skills. If only they devoted the same energy to making sure the President could remember who he’s talking to.
As these admissions circulate, one can’t help but wonder if this is just a symptom of a larger issue. With the Biden Administration stumbling left and right, is anyone really surprised that aides are cranky about the prospect of another Trump win? It looks like the circus isn’t just in the Biden Administration, but also in the heads of those who are tasked with steering the ship while ignoring the fact that the captain might have just dozed off during their last briefing. The nation deserves a leader who’s fully awake at the wheel — not one who requires a GPS to figure out who’s on the same flight.
