What did former President Joe Biden not know, and when did his staff know it? That is the question that will haunt the former president and his inner circle for years to come as tell-all books and reports from Hill Republicans tell the story of Biden’s mental decline, which a tight-knit group of top Biden aides tried to hide from the public. The latest revelations come via the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which released a 91-page report, “The Biden Autopen Presidency: Decline, Delusion, and Deception in the White House,” on Oct. 28. But really, the report’s name should be: “The Gang That Couldn’t Spin Straight.” I’ve read government reports on corrupt behavior that you knew would make for sophisticated drama. The autopen report shouts comedy gold. Think Mel Brooks’ “The Producers”—which fits because Team Biden got filmmaker Steven Spielberg and producer Jeffrey Katzenberg to coach Biden before his 2024 State of the Union address. With a script and advice from two Hollywood legends, Biden was a star. But also, Biden enjoyed a low bar. His winning line during his 2020 debate against now-President Donald Trump: “Will you shut up, man?” According to the report, White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor failed to order a cognitive test on the president. It was a choice that screamed: “We don’t want to know.” Former senior adviser to the president Anita Dunn brought up the question of whether Biden should undergo a cognitive test—”the one test that would provide some assurance to the American people that the president was not in mental decline,” quoth the report—and it still didn’t happen. They knew. They didn’t want you to know. “Original Sin,” the tell-all book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, reported that the inner circle discussed having Biden use a wheelchair to prevent POTUS from falling—”but they couldn’t do so until after the election.” O’Connor invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination when the committee questioned him, as did Annie Tomasini, Biden’s deputy chief of staff, and Anthony Bernal, then-first lady Jill Biden’s chief of staff. The report looked at Biden’s use of presidential pardon power, which was highly controversial given that Biden pardoned his son Hunter, who had a record of tax fraud and gun charges, after telling voters he would not pardon his son. Then there were pardons for family members who had not been charged with crimes. The committee estimated that 96% of Biden pardons were issued during his last four months in office. No worries, Biden family. “Presidents cannot undo the pardons of their predecessors. If they could, even long-settled pardons could be vulnerable to challenge,” Jeffrey Crouch, American University associate professor of American history, informed me. Dunn and company were able to contain the story of Biden’s decline—a decline that awaits us all—by wrapping Biden inside a small bubble within the infamous White House bubble. The team put communications aide Ian Sams in charge of answering media questions on Biden’s health and fitness for office, but Sams told the committee his meetings with Biden were “very infrequent.” They numbered four. Sams was in charge of responding to the findings of special counsel Robert Hur, who looked into allegations of Biden’s habitual mishandling of classified information. As he talked with Biden, Hur witnessed the president forgetting when his son Beau passed away and when his term as vice president concluded. Hur also found that Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.” But Hur did not file charges because of the challenges of prosecuting a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” Former White House staff secretary Neera Tanden said she saw the president every six to eight weeks. Why did top White House aides try to cover up Biden’s decreasing capacity? To them, I imagine, there was a choice between holding onto power and letting go. Alas, there was no George Washington in this swamp. In the beginning, they may have told themselves that only Biden, an experienced hand, could beat Trump, which he did in 2020. But then the experienced hand invited chaos at the border, oversaw a botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, and embraced “gender-affirming care” for minors. My favorite quote in the report came from senior Biden adviser Ashley Williams, who offered, “I wouldn’t characterize having a good memory as something that is important in the White House.” COPYRIGHT 2025 CREATORS.COM We publish a variety of perspectives.

Democrat Abigail Spanberger has won the Virginia governor race, defeating Republican Winsome Earle-Sears, numerous outlets project. Spanberger, a former CIA agent who served in the House of Representatives from 2019 to 2025, overcame the headwinds from attorney general candidate Jay Jones, whose politically violent texts threatened to derail Spanberger’s campaign. Spanberger campaigned against President Donald Trump and his policies to root waste, fraud, and abuse out of the federal government through the Department of Government Efficiency. Early results show the Democrat’s strongest support came from the Northern Virginia suburbs near Washington, D.C., home to many federal bureaucrats. The race changed in early October, when National Review’s Audrey Fahlberg exposed text messages in which Jay Jones, the Democrat candidate for attorney general, fantasized about shooting then-House of Delegates Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican. Jones said that, in the hypothetical situation where he had only two bullets and could shoot Adolf Hitler, Cambodian dictator Pol Pot, or Gilbert, he declared he would use both bullets on Gilbert. He later fantasized about Gilbert’s children dying in their mother’s arms, and he defended this disgusting death wish by saying, “Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.” While Jones sent the texts in August 2022, the revelation came less than a month after the political assassination of Charlie Kirk. Spanberger said she was “disgusted” by the remarks. She added, “as a candidate—and as the next governor of our commonwealth—I will always condemn violent language in our politics.” The Democrat enjoyed a polling lead against Earle-Sears for most of the race, but the Republican gained steam in mid-to-late October.
