Staff ReportsThe current state of American politics presents an enigma that even the best conspiracy theorists might struggle to crack: Why is Joe Biden still holding down the fort at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? With the Wall Street Journal dropping its latest report exposing the president’s rapid decline, the question looms larger than ever—and so does the potential answer: fear of Kamala Harris.
No conservative could forget the unmistakable whispers about Harris being the real insurance policy against Biden’s early exit. When the shenanigans of the Democratic Party led them to pick a candidate as malleable as Biden, it seems they were simultaneously signing their own defeat warrant. If they wanted to replace their puppet president, the alternative wasn’t exactly a great improvement. After all, swapping Biden for Kamala is like trading a 2003 Pontiac for a broken-down scooter—sure, it might be an upgrade in theory, but the realities of governance require something with a little more horsepower.
The Wall Street Journal’s report revealed some eyebrow-raising details that set the stage for Biden’s prolonged tenure, despite his staggering ineptitude. Biden’s team allegedly conspired to keep him in a bubble, swaddled away from any unsettling realities. Imagine a sitcom where the main character is utterly oblivious to the chaos swirling around him. The administration seems to have treated Biden like a delicate artifact, shielding him from polling data and feedback from leading Democrats who were increasingly frustrated with his insularity. Senators had to jump through hoops just to get a moment of his time, which begs the question—who exactly is running this show?
Even the notorious blunders during the Afghanistan withdrawal can’t be swept under the rug. Biden exhibited a level of incompetence that would have sunk most presidencies long ago, yet here he sits—stubbornly entrenched. His approval ratings took a nosedive, leading Democrats to wonder why they couldn’t reach their leader to offer critical advice before the debacle unfolded. Call it a failure of leadership, or just a poor reality show gone wrong, but the tragic outcomes have painted Biden as a leader who neither learns from mistakes nor acknowledges them.
QUESTIONS FROM 2022: Why the Hell Is Joe Biden Still President? https://t.co/7cPKMo9Sjd

As the Democrats’ grip on reality seemed to loosen, their attempts to present Biden’s policies as effective became ever more laughable. They pushed ahead with a political agenda that contradicted the facts, and insiders described Biden’s circle as “the eager beavers,” a bunch of wannabe overlords steering a ship that was already taking in water. The disconnect between what was being presented to the public and the internal chaos paints a vivid picture of a party in disarray, scrambling to prop up a president who long ago lost the plot.
Ultimately, Biden’s tenacity in the Oval Office is a testament to a political machinery that rewards loyalty over effectiveness. In a world where the moral case for his removal seems irrefutable, the Democrats chose instead to stick to the script and hope for the best. Their outcome? A reputation shot to pieces while the president continues to ensure that any goodwill with the public is thoroughly obliterated. With the 2024 elections looming, the real question isn’t whether Biden should go, but rather what the Democratic Party plans to do when they finally admit they’ve hitched their wagon to the wrong star.
