In recent political drama that has more twists and turns than a soap opera, it appears the House Oversight Committee Chairman, James Comer, has made some bold moves, suggesting that subpoenas might soon be flying. Yes, he’s on the warpath, and not even Vice President Kamala Harris is safe from his gaze. The reason? Allegations are surfacing about conveniently ignored mental decline and a haze of confusion surrounding President Biden’s time in office.
Let’s start with the curious case of Ian Sams. Apparently, he managed to have only two conversations with President Biden during his stint as a White House spokesperson. That’s like claiming to know what your gym buddy is going through because you nodded at each other from across the treadmill twice. Yet, Sams had no qualms about valiantly defending Biden’s capabilities day after day from the podium, armed with tweets and statements, as if he had an all-access backstage pass to the Biden show. Sams’ passionate endorsements of Biden’s sharpness seem a bit misplaced considering he barely crossed paths with him. It’s almost like having a book club president who has never read the book.
In the midst of this, the looming shadow of the 25th Amendment emerges. Now, this is the fail-safe that the Founding Fathers provided to prevent a potential Weekend at Bernie’s situation in the White House. It seems there should have been more discussion around its application during the recent presidency. But instead, there was Kamala Harris, the other half of this dynamic duo, witnessing the unfolding events firsthand. Apparently, those daily lunches she supposedly had with Biden in the Oval Office seemed to dwindle faster than anyone anticipated. And yet, she remained silent at critical junctions, choosing not to pull that all-important constitutional safety lever.
The nation deserves an answer as to why everyone, those nestled within the Biden circle and those with a seat at the table, decided to present such a united front for a potentially misleading narrative. Rumors about Biden’s state were conveniently placed on the backburner or hidden beneath the White House rug, and the accountability, or lack thereof, needs to be addressed. After all, it’s not just about one individual; it’s about everyone who enabled any charade that might have affected national decisions on war, peace, or the economy.
In this political chess game, holding those accountable who contributed to a potential misdirection is crucial. The tale of the Bidens might have wrapped up somewhat, with them metaphorically riding into the sunset, but the web of influences and decisions linger on in political circles. It raises the question — would things have unfolded differently if Harris and others had taken a stand? The 25th Amendment was designed precisely for situations like this, and it seems America’s political orchestra might have been playing under the baton of a conductor whose hands were steadied by strings unseen by the public eye.
Comer’s investigative zeal, along with his desire to summon witnesses like Harris, lies in the hope that the same will never be repeated. Accountability is a cornerstone of democracy, and without it, power could remain shrouded in mystery, eroding public trust. The tale reminds everyone that vigilance and truth are paramount in public service, even when the spotlight dims and the curtains are drawn.
