Joe Biden's mental decline, covered up by the White House and media, made him appear non-functional, which made Donald Trump seem comparatively normal. This shift in perception was a major factor in Trump's re-election.
Biden's diminished mental state was evident as early as spring 2021, just three months into his term, as he struggled with long meetings and made mistakes. His staff had to adjust schedules to avoid potential missteps, indicating his decline was noticeable from the start.
The White House controlled who Biden spoke with, what information he consumed, and limited his interactions with cabinet members and lawmakers. They also pre-screened questions for public events to avoid exposing his cognitive decline.
The media turned on Biden because his poor performance during the debate was embarrassingly obvious to everyone, exposing his cognitive decline. This public humiliation forced them to acknowledge what they had previously covered up.
Biden's staff acted as proxies, handling most interactions and policy decisions due to his diminished capacity. They also controlled his information flow and limited his direct involvement in critical meetings and policy discussions.
Republicans struggled due to internal disagreements, particularly over raising the debt ceiling for two years. Many Republicans opposed the bill, leading to its defeat despite coordination between Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Democrats attempted to portray Elon Musk as the de facto president, suggesting he was running policy decisions, in an effort to create tension between Musk and Trump and undermine their coalition.
Advent focuses on three dimensions: looking back at the historical arrival of Christ, looking around at Christ's presence in the present, and looking forward to His second coming. It emphasizes the idea of Christ's arrival and His ongoing impact on history and individual lives.
Hanukkah, with its theme of the rededication of the temple, aligns with the Christian belief that Jesus is the new temple. The idea of God dwelling within believers, as expressed in Paul's writings, is a central theme that connects Hanukkah to Christian theology.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the White House covered up Joe Biden’s decline; House Republicans struggle to pass a bill to avoid a government shutdown; and Democrats try to create dissension between President Trump and Elon Musk.
