The Democrat's Biden Situation Keeps Getting Worse
Aides keep spilling the tea, a memo pushing for donors to back Kamala is circulating, more Democrats say he needs to get out, and everyone wants to know, who is really in charge?
Now that the media has taken the kid gloves off, all sorts of hell is breaking loose for the democrat party. White House aides have been speaking out. They say that Joe is not fun to be around. His legendary temper has caused them to take all the bad news out of his daily briefings because “he is not a pleasant person to be around when he’s being briefed. It’s very difficult, and people are scared s**tless of him.” Apparently, Jill is acting much like Edith Wilson, and shielding Joe from as much as possible.
Ben at Semafor had a “government official with access to the West Wing” reach out to him. He was told, “It’s unclear even to some inside the West Wing policy process which policy issues reach the president, and how. Major decisions go into an opaque circle that includes White House chief of staff, Jeff Zients (who talks to the president regularly) and return concluded.” This only confirms previous reporting here that the top aides are keeping the president in a bubble.
Axios, which has broken most of the recent stories about the President’s health and leaks from the White House staff, quotes someone as saying, "Everything else feels like 'Weekend at Bernie's' by his inner circle to prop him up."
The same Axios report says that the top three protecting the president are Jill’s top aide Anthony Bernal, a serial sexual harasser in the workplace, Ashley Williams, who has racked up a massive amount of student debt, and the deputy chief of staff and longtime Biden aide Annie Tomasini.
Axios even got their hands on a copy of the document staffers are told to use as a template whenever Biden attends a function or gives a speech. Apparently, the staff has to include big photos showing the president where he is going.
NBC had 13 different sources contact them, all saying the same thing. The Biden family, which includes the top aides who have been with the family forever, is now fighting with everyone else. Joe’s sister Valerie is now at the White House and has joined the inner circle. Hunter is now attending meetings with his father. One source close to the family told NBC, “The debate fiasco has opened up a lane for the family to surpass staff and start helping out their father and brother who they love dearly.”
The NYPost reviewed the White House Visitor logs and found that a neurologist from Walter Reed, Dr. Kevin Cannard, and a cardiologist had visited the White House doctor for several hours in January. Then, reporter Alex Berenson went through the logs looking specifically for the good doctor and uncovered at least nine total visits, including the January one, from July 2023 through to March 2024. The Free Press spoke with a neurologist, and at the same time, a different neurologist reached out to Alex. Both doctors, who do NOT treat the president, said that Biden’s slow gait, stumbles, rigid posture, and cognitive issues all point to Parkinsonism.
All of this recent chatter raises the question: Who is in charge of the country? Anyone with a functioning brain has known for a long time that it can’t be Joe Biden. The steady stream of bad decisions and lack of cohesiveness is reminiscent of the Washington Commanders football team in recent years. Under Dan Snyder, the team did not have a general manager, and a committee of board members made all their decisions. The White House's missteps and messaging feel similar, as if a committee of people looking out for their own best interests is pushing and pulling the country in different directions.
Recent reporting makes it appear that Jill and Hunter are making decisions on behalf of Joe, supported by the triple A’s - Anthony, Ashley, and Annie, and Jeff Zients. Biden’s sister Valerie has also joined that team. Others who are likely part of the committee are Sec. of State Blinken, National Security Communications Advisor Kirby, and SecDef Lloyd. Rep Jeh Johnson, in his attempt to cover for Biden’s terrible debate performance, let slip a few other names: Dir. of Nat’l Intelligence Avril Haines, Administrator of the USAID Samantha Power, and Commerce Sec. Gina Raimondo. Then, of course, there is Kamala. RNC Research has a great thread of all the times Kamala has covered for Joe. Clearly, she is part of the team.
Joe’s attempts to reassure everyone that he is fine have backfired spectacularly. From yelling “Ho! Ho! Ho!” at the crowd at the White House Fourth of July celebration, to telling a Philly Radio host he was the first black woman to serve as VP under a black president (Sidenote: she got fired for admitting the White House scripted her questions.), to his bad ABC interview, and then declaring to Mika and Scarborough that he was there with Trump in Normandy in 2018 to hear Trump utter the debunked “suckers and losers” line, no one is convinced that Joe is okay. In fact, the list of high-ranking democrats calling for him to leave the race keeps growing. Rep. Lloyd Doggett was the first. He has since been joined by MA Gov. Healey, HUD Sec. Julian Castro, and six others. Many more are expressing their concerns behind closed doors, like Rep. Beyer:
White House staff and Democrat elected officials aren’t the only ones freaking out. Several big democrat donors have signaled that they will not support the party with Biden on the ticket. Then, Friday night (July 5), a writer for several left-wing publications, Teddy Schleifer, publicized a memo he claimed was circulating around the donor class called Unburdened By What Has Been: The Case For Kamala. It is such a fun read, completely full of copium. To add fuel to the fire, The Telegraph reports that Kamala is already considering VP options.
Because the NATO Summit is in DC this Tuesday through Thursday, rumors are that the Democratic party will wait until Friday to take action against Biden, who continues to insist that he is staying in the race.

Hey Lorraine...Is Dana out this week?
Would really like to know when the wh will get a gerontology expert to evaluate Biden’s current health status. Tired of hearing the alphabet soup of chronic neurological conditions- ie, als (Lou Gherig’s disease), m/s (which latest diagnosis-onset is late 40’s) parkinsons- all the neuro experts ruling out is fine- gerontology would be better at evaluating for dementia/alzheimers. This was conveniently left out of the alphabet diags.
The docs are neurologist ms not gerontologist.
And for those who need a refresher- joe biden had two separate brain aneurysms- both requiring surgical “clipping” of the weakened blood vessels.
That was the reason i didn’t vote for the man. He’s always, imho, one more aneurysm away from visiting the pearly gates.
