Why are they Hiding Joe Biden? Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary who spends more time refusing to engage with the White House Press Pool than answering their (usually) sycophantic, pedantic questions, is starting to feel the burn.
Even a gelded press corps, such as the sort that currently populates the White House, can only take so much abject humiliation before it goes from being perversely enjoyable to downright degrading.
President Joe Biden, you see, has been avoiding the press. Sure, he’s been spotted intermittently speaking in very controlled settings with the press in the last few months. Even when Biden takes shouted, off-the-cuff questions from the press, it is rarely that they ask him such contentious questions the way they did of former President Donald J. Trump—their great orange whale.
Certainly, none have behaved as grotesquely as CNN’s Jim Acosta did when infamously challenged former President Trump over claims the forty-fifth president had made while speaking live to the nation from the East Room of the White House.
Sleepy Joe Biden Hides
Nevertheless, Biden’s interactions with the press are carefully choreographed and scripted. And the majority of the White House Press Pool is fine with it because, of course, they are on his political team. So, for that group to not only begin publicly castigating the White House press secretary but to openly mock the White House’s press interaction—including Biden himself—is a big step.
It should tell you that something is amiss in the Biden Administration.
This might also mean that the forty-sixth president, irrespective of that which he and his supporters have intimated over the last several months in public, is not planning on running for reelection in 2024.
Acting as though he has already secured the GOP presidential nomination for 2024, former Donald Trump began posting on social media his belief that Biden was not, in fact, planning to run for reelection because “something is not right” about Biden, according to the forty-fifth president.
The world is in a bad place since Joe Biden became president. While the forty-sixth president could conveniently blame his hated predecessor, that would only work for a few years. At some point, the failures become yours as president the longer you remain at the top of the organization. Everyone knows it. Even Democrats, who will always stand by their man at the end of the day, are quietly acknowledging that Biden is not the one they’ve been waiting for.
Think about it: the world is teetering on the brink of a potential nuclear war with Russia over Ukraine. Tensions are bubbling up both in the Greater Middle East with Iran and China is on the march everywhere—especially against Taiwan. Venezuela might be getting ready to pick a fight with their oil-rich neighbor, Guyana!
Where in the World is Joe Biden (Does He Even Know)?
And where is Joe Biden?
He’s gone to Ireland in a bizarre attempt to unite all the political parties of Northern Ireland in what is obviously a cockamamie plot to wrestle Northern Ireland away from the British and to ensure that it is restored to the rest of Ireland.
For the record, this is an emotional and historically sensitive topic for both Ireland and Britain. What’s more, Britain is America’s strongest ally globally during a time when many allies are fleeing the Americans’ orbit in favor of China’s.
Why is Biden seeking to potentially mar that relationship with these unnecessary antics?
The White House Press Corps is correct in asserting that the Joe Biden handlers are hiding their boss. Just look at the way that the president behaved with super friendly Al Roker of NBC News. When asked a basic question: are you running again for president? Biden vamped, got lost in a verbal maze of his own making, and then meandered away awkwardly—all without ever answering the question and leaving many more, serious questions in his wake.
The Hunter Biden Probe Closes In
Beyond the concerns that Biden simply isn’t there mentally anymore and the White House is facing increasing difficulty containing his rotting brain, it could be that the Hunter Biden investigations have the forty-sixth president distracted.
It is increasingly obvious to all but the biggest Democratic Party shills that the First Son was the frontman for a major influence-peddling scheme aimed at enriching the entirety of the Biden Family—including the president—by trading access to Joe Biden’s various government positions in exchange for lots of money from foreign governments (including China) and mega-corporations.
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives is doggedly pursuing the various loose threads. Rep. James Comer (R-KY), who is leading the investigation into Hunter Biden’s nefarious activities, believes that he will get his man. And in getting Hunter, it is hoped that they can connect his schemes to the president.
In these investigations, once you open a part of the scab, all the puss comes out, so I’d expect the Republicans to make the connections at some point. Especially since the Republicans recently gained access to some of the Biden Family’s personal financial records.

Bottom line: the fact that the Biden Administration has so carefully shielded their boss from any serious media scrutiny has made even the most loyal press people apoplectic. It is hard enough covering for Biden on a good day. But try carrying water for a man who won’t even provide a bucket.
The White House is isolating Biden from the press because they likely know his responses will be far more incriminating either of the true nature of his health decline and/or of the actual relationship he had with his son’s illicit schemes.
There’s no greater disinfectant than sunlight. That light—even if it is the dimly lit bulbs of the White House Press Corps—could be the final act of Biden’s thus far pathetic (non) reelection bid. That’s why he’s being hidden.

Sad that the most powerful economy and nation is headed by a confused old man. It’s understandable why his handlers refuse to put he in front of reporters who are asking difficult questions – he might just tell the truth by mistake. I don’t see how he holds up to another election cycle. He won’t be able to hide in his basement this time.
In regards to Hunter, as long as the MSM keeps burying the story, not sure a conviction will have much impact. Seems everyone has glossed over the millions that flowed into the Biden family. But that seems pretty commonplace these days with our politicians.
We’re certainly living in interesting times…

God bless people in the world.
After the U.S. Democratic Party leaked information of South Korea’s military policy, South Korea’s socialism political party, the Democratic Party of Korea, ask the South Korea government to review military cooperation with the United States.
God bless America.

This article is clearly right-wing but can we all agree that the U.S. doesn’t need another OLD, WHITE MAN in office?
Let’s hope we can find someone who we all can agree upon and who has the betterment of our nation as their first priority. Starting with affordable heath care and enough gumption to look into the rising costs of…well, everything. No more “paid-for” politicians.

Joe Biden will run for reelection if he is still breathing, and perhaps even if he is not. They will stand up a cardboard cutout in the basement if they have to, and call it good.

If he cant handle questions from the press, why does anyone think he can formulate policy? Someone else is running this country—they just wanted the foolish voters to choose him as their lap dog.
Oh by the way why do we need to get racial and say we dont need another old white man? We just need a younger more engeretic person able to lead a struggling superpower back to the top. And it is not socialism!!!!

Your comment regarding Joe Biden’s “rotting brain” is totally disrespectful. It makes me wonder if 1945 is a media outlet that I want to look at for my news.

My guess is that you didn’t even hear President Biden’s speeches during his stay in Ireland. Clear, emotional, and spoken without a monitor, looking directly at the people. He has handled the difficult world he inherited from an incompetent, blathering con man, who has an inability to tell the truth, with the mark of an experienced, confident leader who knows more about running the US government than anyone who ran for president in 2016, 2020, or probably in 2024. We are blessed to have Joe Biden as president at this turbulent time whether he runs for president again or not.

I agree I found Bidens speeches in Ireland were very Presidential , articulate and above all inspirational, His speech in front of the Irish parliament was over 45 minutes long without a tele prompt
He quoted historical facts and events that bonded the USA with Ireland . I heard nothing from his predecessor that came even close to this level of quality , all he was good for were dumb , divisional hate speech sound bites – “lock her up ” – somewhat ironic now?
We should be thankful we have atlast a leader who represents all that is good in the USA and a champion of Democracy in the free world, . the last guy was an embarrassment every time he was on the world stage – still cringe at the memory of his pathetic fawning at the feet of Putin

How do you know that he was not speaking from a tele prompt? They must not have given him his medication that day if he was so coherent. People that voted for this lunatic is part of the problem we have today, you voted for a man that can’t even complete a simple sentence because you didn’t like that Trump and his ‘mean tweets’. Now look who is running this country? Look at the price of gas and everything else but you are still worshipping this derange man we have as President; he doesn’t even deserve the title President. He’s a joke, the United States as become a laughingstock to the rest of the world because of this lunatic. And I am sure Democrats will vote for him again just to keep Trump out of office because they didn’t like is truthfulness and what he did for this country. I truly hope that if he does run again in 2024 that the Democrats will have some sense not to vote for him again.

MAGA and those who disagree with Democrats want to think Joe has lost it. Sorry, but that’s not true. Your insults are failing. The GOP doesn’t even have a platform anymore. At least the Dems are trying to help Americans live better lives.

For a guy who has supposedly “lost it”, President Joe did a pretty good job of tricking the GOP members of congress into promising to keep their grubby paws off Social Security and Medicare.

I think we would be hard pressed to find Biden’s equal. Years of experience in the rough and tumble senate; two times US VP. Familiar with and communicating with world leaders. Effectively uniting major European countries to produce mutual outcomes possibly saving us from an enslaved Europe, and beyond. Helps maintain collective response to Ukraine and other global issues.
Passes Legislation for US citizens: nationally: repairing, replacing rebuilding desperately needed bridges, roads and much more. Projects that get going: For example CA flooding. Our local levee almost wiped out entire town and fields after once again failing. . After years and years of levee breaks the work has finally begun.
Seniors and children lifted out of poverty. He is kind and compassionate and activates this in dealing with all sorts of tragedies part of modern life. He promises help and gives it his best
Is he perfect! Of course not! Could he do better…we all can.

As a former practicing physician, now retired, I believe that President Biden very likely has either Parkinson’s Disease or some other degenerative neurological condition. He exhibits at least 2 primary symptoms of this disease: Festinating Gait and Mask Face.

Unbelievable that you leftist are not even willing to admit Biden is mentally non functional to manage a Walmart store, Much less our country, I can supply plenty of video evidence of him completely lost, He can’t even read the teleprompter without fumbling his words and completely forgetting what he is even talking about, sad thing it was already noticeably starting as he was running for president, Then Everyone says oh, this was obviously a right wing written article.. Anyone that actually believes Biden is actually the President are purposely blinding themselves.. The press will not even ask Biden any serious complicated questions because of his cognitive decline.. Like I said I can provide many video clips of Biden lost in space.. Try and Prove Me wrong and I will research and provide you with all kinds of video clips of him display dementia/ Parkinsons type behavior… Anyone that can’t admit Biden is non functional and not really in any kind of control as the leader of our country is pompously ignoring what’s before their very eyes simply because he a democrat and so are you obviously, but even so how can you blindly lie to yourselves and others and deny Biden is a cognitive mess and others are truly doing his job for him , likely a group of people possibly including people such as Obama and Hilary and friends, but it sure is not Biden running the show, And look at the state of our country now with nuclear war possibly looming on us and the Doomsday clock is closer to midnight than ever before including the Cuban missile crisis! And to top it off there are people in our country that truly want us to be Socialist and would love to rewrite our “outdated” Constitution to where our citizens will lose more rights specifically the 1st and 2nd amendments most of all..
And to be clear I would be saying the same exact thing no matter what party the president was left or right, Fact’s are fact’s and there is plenty of video proof proving what you would say are lies are certainly true and you would either have to be sheeple or simply in denial or likely you just a democrat that will support your party president regardless of is mental decline and other shady issues we could get into and that is a crying shame that there are people that will vote for anyone that runs for what ever party they support regardless of whom you see before you even if you know that person had already shown cognitive issues starting even as running for president… I truly feel bad for Biden as I would not wish his mental decline on my worst enemy, if I had one.. At the same time though what has Joe Biden done good for our country in the many years he has been a politician starting as a senator in 1972? 51 years!
