Republican Senators Open Hearings Into the "Massive Cover-Up" of Biden's Cognitive Decline
Democrats Boycott Hearings Entirely

Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) on Wednesday accused former Biden Cabinet officials, Democratic members of Congress and the media of participating in a massive "cover-up" to hide what they claim was former President Biden's obvious and alarming cognitive decline during his final two years in office.
"There was a conspiracy to hide the president's true condition by his family, by his staff, by the media, and many elected officials. This was a constitutional crisis bigger than President Biden, bigger than any single election, and one that cannot be absolved by the collective apology of the press and an election where the president's party lost," Cornyn said in his opening statement of a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Cornyn and Schmitt rolled out their accusations against the former president and his inner circle to a mostly empty room after most Democrats on the panel boycotted the hearing.

"Most"? Try "all."

Well, okay, one Democrat showed up for a short time.

Schmitt declared that Biden was "mentally unfit to carry out the responsibilities of the most powerful office in the world."
"Given his mental incapacity, the American people deserve to know who was running the country the last four years," he said.
Schmitt called it "deeply disappointing" that most Democrats on the panel chose to "boycott" the meeting and decided not to call a single witness to testify.
Schmitt claimed that Biden's decline "did not suddenly begin in June of 2024," when he performed disastrously at the presidential debate against Trump.
"It was a persistent and obvious truth that was evident for years to anyone who was willing to see it," he said.

Note that Cornyn asked Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson to testify. They refused.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) revealed Thursday he sought congressional testimony from CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios's Alex Thompson for a hearing later this month on former President Joe Biden's mental acuity while in office.
The pair are authors of Original Sin, a recently published book with revelations about the former president's alleged cognitive decline in the White House and the effort by those in Biden's orbit to orchestrate a "cover-up."
"We reached out to Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, and they were otherwise occupied," Cornyn told reporters.
Neither reporter responded to a request for comment.

Why is this pussy asking for a voluntary appearance? Subpoena them. They claim they have inside information that can help Congress pass legislation to stop this from happening again.

Biden's nefarious doctor and Biden, Inc. business partner also refused to testify. They have subpoenaed him, but I imagine he will just refuse to answer, citing doctor-patient privilege.

House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today issued a subpoena to Dr. Kevin O'Connor, President Joe Biden's physician, to appear for a deposition on June 27, 2025, as part of the investigation into the cover-up of President Joe Biden's cognitive decline and potentially unauthorized issuance of sweeping pardons and other executive actions.
Chairman Comer recently requested Dr. O'Connor appear voluntarily for a transcribed interview, but he refused. Last Congress, Chairman Comer also requested Dr. O'Connor appear for a transcribed interview to discuss his medical assessments and involvement in the Biden family's influence peddling racket, but the Biden White House blocked his testimony.

So why is Fake Jake Tapper getting a pass?

If Tapper and Thompson had written a book about Trump, and had been asked by Democrats to testify, you can be sure these straight-shootin' non-partisan Servants of the Truth would have been there with bells on.

Notice something about the Dems' side of the dais for this hearing on Biden's mental capability? There's NO ONE there

Why? Because Dems don't want to answer for the 4 years of lies & hypocrisy they fed the American people about how Biden was "fit for office" pic.twitter.com/GeTJtCCg5d

85 "4-5 missiles downed. No injuries or damage."

WSJ did a video report on how many interceptors Israel can keep firing. They said they cost like $2M each, and often more than one are required to take down the much cheaper offensive missiles.

USA has also been helping, but our supply (three variations from ships, and some shot downs with fighters I guess) is also not unlimited, and they are also expensive. So the plan is to take out Iran's ability to constantly target civilian centers.

94 USA has also been helping, but our supply (three variations from ships, and some shot downs with fighters I guess) is also not unlimited, and they are also expensive. So the plan is to take out Iran's ability to constantly target civilian centers.

108 This is absolute bull excrement. It's the Senate Republicans spinning their wheels. The hearing(s) serve no purpose other than to make it look like their doing something instead of what they SHOULD be doing.

Simply put, the DOJ investigates which White House lackey was using the Autopen. Jail. The DOJ determines what decisions that came out of the White House did not originate with the president or involve his hand. Jail. This is not a Senate task.

As we have seen they have failed magnificently at their primary purpose (representing their constituents and oversight). The various wastes, fraud and laundering could only occur because they have NOT been doing their job. In a lot of scenarios they were encouraging it.

At the very least, they should be raising holy hell over the unconstitutional obstacles thrown up to fix the abuse. Instead they are doing show hearings that serve no real purpose.

- CA is not the only state with this problem
- the fraud is not for the tuition (since the school gets that) but for the stipend (cash given to student to show that they are loved by the State.)
- This is often done with AI, and is only viable because classes are on internet and often not even zoom, or if zoom no camera is required.
- Money ultimately comes from federal gov. which is why states don't care.

Note that school is complicit in this as they get tuition, teachers get paid to teach ghosts, so everyone wins. Well, everyone except taxpayers.

Will they bring back a clone of The Shah, or some Zoroastrian new model, idk. But disposing of the Khomeini regime seems good.

btw, the guys studying the star of Bethlehem were (allegedly) some form of "Zoroastrian". iirc, there were the good Zoroastrians that studied major signs (like stuff in Book of Revelation), but the dark side of Zoroastrianism went with the astrology angle/angel ... "what's your sign?" stuff.

Of course you can and people in. Class relations ship can laugh together. However saying "sugar tits" about some woman a person doesn't know and will never meet but thinks is sexy is IMO both a subtle put down ( Oh, those women politicians!!) and the realization that they won't ever have a relationship with her.

1. when this started they said the goal was to get rid of the production capability

2. it is war when you bomb another country, and guess what, they were aware they did not have the ability to do those sites when this began,

selling weapons is not the same as giving weapons and or using weapons

249 Words have precise meanings. We are not at War with Russia. Ukraine is fighting a Proxy War and losing. Both sides know this to be so. The moment Russia thinks it is at war with us, their missiles will be falling on cities minutes later.

These shades of meaning are what foreign affaris are about.
Posted by: Oldcat at June 18, 2025 06:09 PM (8avO+)

Nonsense.

A million Ukrainians are dead because the U.S. of A. is the cause of the war, and the reason it continues.

Playing semantics is what rogues and maniacs are doing with this stuff.

Your government is all about perpetual war. It's what we do. It's all we do. Either you're at peace with that, or you're not.

251 Because we find it suspect that they "sincerely don't want to do this" while having no problem with sincerely wanting to do other things when the needle points the other way.

And it also smacks of apparently somehow surviving the 40-something years without being aware of a single thing the Islamic rulers of Iran have promised are in store for the US.

everybody saying, now, that the gov is going to be removed is saying the same thing that has been said forever.

Now, since Israel has started this were getting involved because they do not have the capability or capacity to finish the thing.

252 Fucking Bret Baier on FNC has polling numbers that are maddening.

Less than half of VOTERS polled, 48 percent, say they support Israel knocking out Iran's bomb-making facilities.

But an overwhelming majority, 78 percent of same VOTERS, say that Iran is a huge threat to the U.S.

That first one, the less than half being OK with Israel ending it, comes from the relentless "Israel is bad" "Israel is genocide to Gaza" "Israel is poopy" tirade coming from the mainstream press, from entertainment, from the pop culture.

It's why Trump keeps saying, hey, I might end it, and I might not end it. Might not means he hopes Israel can do it, but how exactly, he does not know.

Who would be Ambassador Huckabee. A good man and Christian.

I am a Christian and see no comparison of Jesus Christ and the 12th Imam, rising up out of a well.

To sum, as this is rather insane and I am surprised to read this at all here, Jesus is for peace. He died for all of us, even you. Christianity is not pro violence or in any way wanting followers by islamic caliphate destruction or murder if you don't believe in our Lord.

No comparison. And don't yammer about religious wars of Northern Ireland and other things in the past. Possibly my own ancestors were killed for their heretic beliefs of Huguenots. I am talking of 2025.

A radical jihadist would rather cut your throat than have a dialogue about your different beliefs.

The very reason many are still barbarians, forcing women as basic slaves, marrying 14yr old girls, etc, is BECAUSE there is no reform in Islam. Any who have attempted to reform, well, after the '70's, in radical states of Iran are killed. THIS IS WHY there is fear.

325 less so when conquering Iran proper. Lots of kinglets, in forts, in bad terrain blocking the roads.

Oddly, similar results for Trajan with the Parthians.

326 Reasserting a falsehood doesn't make it any more true, it just shows you to be Satan's servant.

If you'd like to fix your ignorance, maybe you could explain your thinking on the topic with some specificity so that you can be corrected.

Well, the Sunnis justifiably hate and fear the Shiites in Iran. And they don't want to be beholden to Israel, of all countries, for saving their bacon.

Armageddon is a field in north Israel. Battle of Meggido was fought there.

336 Even though they are different brand of Islam they are still Muslim. That want to be able to influence the situation via the US. To their own ends. I also think Tucker Carlson got some infusion of cash from the ME. Just a theory I have.

338 322 Trump keeps giving them leeway... but I don't think the US is in the driver's seat. Israel had plans to do it alone for a long time. It's just that the likes of our "friend " Qatat and our " friend" Saudi want US to get involved.
Posted by: runner at June 18, 2025 06:25 PM (nQcpu)

Okay great. They should continue to go it alone and the US can stop being involved. Fair? Or does the Israeli plan hinge on the US getting involved?

Yeah even just a little bit of a veil over things would help them 'save face' even though that's not a middle eastern term. They do not want the pernicious Hebrew to be responsible for destroying their hated heretical enemies and saving them from crazed Shiites with nukes. Puts them in a tough place.

349 Thank you for clarifying the level of intellectual rigor you intend to bring to this or any other discussion.

There comes a point in some discussions in which you're forcing someone to double down on wrong and forcing them to commit to thinks they know are wrong but cannot stop or lose self esteem and feel ego damage. That's the point at which you back away for their own good.

350 Give them land? What would they do with it? Sell it to the highest bidder. Probably China. Then run through the money in less than a year. Then run back to the government for more free stuff. Never ending grift.
