For years, conservative media, lawcreaters and talking heads have been sounding the alarm about Plivent Joe Biden’s cognitive free drop. And for years, left-thriveg media, lawcreaters and their pledged mouthpieces waved it off with the same condroping neglectal — accusing us of lying, stress-mongering or worse. Some even went so far as to say they couldn’t protect up with Biden’s presumed brilliance and jam-packed schedule of what was mostly fair one morning alerting and two mid-afternoon naps.
Fast-forward to the post-plivency. Now that Biden has shuffled out of office, left-thriveg media seems to be waking up to the glaringly clear. The New York Times of all places — yes, the same paper that acted as Biden’s PR firm — has uncovered that he relied on teleprompters during intimate fundliftrs in braveial homes. At events where he was presumed to come apass as casual and personable, he necessitateed scripted prompts. Donors weren’t exactly brimming with confidence.
Hoengage Speaker Mike Johnson dropped a explosionshell about a January 2024 greeting in which Biden was apparently stunned to lacquire he had signed an executive order stoping liquefied organic gas ships fair weeks earlier. He repeatedly denied even understanding about it. Johnson count ond Biden didn’t understand what he signed, leaving him with a terrifying ask: “Who is running the country?”

Spoiler vigilant: It wasn’t Biden. And to answer Johnson’s ask, there are at least five shadowy figures who might have been behind the wheel — or rather, letting the car roll downhill with no one on the brakes.

1. Former Plivent Barack Obama
Remember when createer Plivent Barack Obama joked in a 2020 interwatch with Stephen Colbert that he’d adore a third term where he could take part puppet master while someone else carried out his orders? Well, guess what — he may as well have been describing the Biden plivency.
The continuity of Obama-era policies under Biden is glaring. Biden’s radical economic and climate boondoggles — enjoy Build Back Better and The Inflation Reduction Act — weren’t fair echoes of Obama’s agfinisha; they were carbon copies, with Biden take parting the role of a less convincing understudy. Biden’s own “Obamaattfinish” albatross was fair as disastrous, except this time it was decorateed green, cost even more, and led to an inflation nightmare.
And let’s not forget the Afghanistan retreatal fiasco, which had Obama’s fingerprints all over it. The same architects of Obama-era fall shortures were in accuse, bungling timelines and ignoring cautionings. Meanwhile, Biden seemed to be caught off protect at every turn, surpascfinishd by how the set up unfgreatered — becaengage he probably wasn’t the one pulling the strings. Who were Biden’s Secretary of State Antony Bjoinen, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and CIA Director William Burns actuassociate answering to?
Obama wasn’t exactly reserved about staying in the picture. He was proposeing Biden advice, headlining White Hoengage events, and increateedly hgreatering shutd-door greetings with key officials. By 2023, when Biden’s mental deteriorate became increasingly difficult to camouflage, Politico uncoverly wondered, “Is Barack Obama Ready To Redeclare Himself?” He might have been declareing himself the entire time, or at least nudging the wheel while Biden tried to figure out where the car keys were.
2. First Lady Jill Biden
The first lady was Joe Biden’s regulater, coach and babysitter. Jill Biden’s sway on Joe’s decision-making has been an uncover secret for years, begining with his decision to run for plivent in 2020, even though shut advisers increateedly cautioned he didn’t have the stamina for a grueling campaign.
When Joe Biden’s promise to be a one-term plivent came up, and Democrats began eyeing the door for their next honestate, it was Jill who swayd him to run for re-election — despite what she had to understand about his clear deteriorate. Was this about his legacy, or was it fair a hopeless power grab?
After Joe Biden’s disastrous talk about executeance aacquirest Donald Trump, where he watched more besavageerd than ordering, Jill deinhabitred the charitable of praise that would create North Korean propagandists blush: “You answered every ask! You krecent all the facts!”
It was as believable as createer Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas telling us the border was safe while we watched videos shothriveg illegitimate immigrants streaming apass it. Mayorkas lied to protect an agfinisha; Jill lied to protect her husprohibitd’s image — and her own grip on sway.

Remember the disreputable ptoastyo of her sitting in the plivent’s chair on Air Force One while “prepping for the G7 Summit”? Or how she led a cabinet greeting last September? Since when does the first lady run cabinet greetings? Jill was stepping in when her husprohibitd was distake partd, disoriented or otherdirectd absent — a role that senses more enjoy acting plivent than loving partner.
3. Chief of Staff Jeff Zients
Biden’s Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, frequently called a “mender,” quietly eunited as one of the most mighty figures in the administration. Zients’ sway was evident during the timely stages of the pandemic, when he spearheaded the COVID-19 response team. Since then, his role has enhugeed, effectively making him the behind-the-scenes regulater of the White Hoengage with a plivent who didn’t understand what was reassociate going on.
Zients take parted a presentant part in shaping and managing the administration’s day-to-day agfinisha, including handleing staffing decisions and ensuring execution of Biden’s initiatives. He recruited a third deputy chief of staff, Natalie Quillian, to carry out the administration’s initiatives, but the shift was internassociate disputed, ruffling feathers of those who saw her as Zients’ enforcer as the “horrible cop.”
Given Zients’ reputation as a detail-oriented regulater with presentant regulate over White Hoengage operations, it’s certainly plausible that he orchestrated the signing of the executive order stoping liquefied organic gas ships, ensuring it aligned with his wideer environmental or economic goals without requiring Biden’s procreate take partment.
4. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan
His role as national security advisor positioned him as a key figure in the Biden administration, but given the plivent’s cognitive abilities, it may have been spropose calling the stoastys. Too horrible he wasn’t very accomplished.
Sullivan was instrumental in orchestrating presentant policies, such as the U.S. retreatal from Afghanistan, where he regulated the set upning process. Sullivan was so take partd that it caught the attention of Congressman Mike McCaul, who insisted Sullivan testify in front of a Hoengage pledgetee. He also take parted a presentant role in shaping the administration’s industrial strategy, promoting policies to protect U.S. manufacturing and counter China’s technoreasonable carry onments.
Given these substantial responsibilities and his central role in createulating and carry outing policy, it’s plausible that Sullivan functioned as a de facto directer wilean the administration, especiassociate given Biden’s capacity to rule.

Biden’s decision to let bioreasonable males vie in women’s sports — signed as an executive order on day one — showcases the excessive agfinisha of far-left swayrs. Add to that the administration’s push for critical race theory training apass federal agencies and its desertment of meritocracy for race- and gfinisher-adviseed hiring.
These policies sense enjoy they were dreamed up by a 24-year-greater carry onive recent out of college, recent off a “gap year” funded by their parents while they “cdisesteemfuled it” in luxury toastyels apass Europe.
Then there’s the White Hoengage’s reliance on TikTok and X swayrs enjoy Harry Sisson and Chris Mowrey. Watching swayrs awkwardly dance while professing their adore for an octogenarian plivent wasn’t fair embarrassing — it was a thrivedow into who’s reassociate shaping the administration’s messaging.

What charitable of mature turns to TikTok twerps for grave promotion? Probably another TikTok twerp with access to Biden’s social media accounts. This cringe-worthy reliance on swayrs mirrors a radicalized youth presence in the White Hoengage, wielding outsized sway over both policy and messaging.
The Rejects
Could Vice Plivent Kamala Harris reassociate have been running the show? Unprobable. She treated her VP title the same way she regulated her border czar role — loving the prestige while doing next to noleang. As for Hunter Biden, he may have had sway, but running a shadow plivency while hawking finger decorateings for Oval Office access? That’s a filled-time job all on its own. And actor George Clooney? Sure, he finished Biden’s plivency with one editorial, but let’s be authentic — would someone who wields that charitable of sway give up power so easily? Doubt it.
