The brain dead puppet and the puppeteers -- Now that the end of Joe Biden's occupation of the White House is near, we're seeing reports that dish on just how bad it was and how his "inner circle" went all in to protect him. Among the things they did? They rearranged meetings to make sure Mr. Biden was in a better mood. They surrounded him with aides so the media would have more difficulty picking up his awkward walk that made him look so bad. They even had Biden use a teleprompter for small fund-raisers in private homes and asked people to provide questions for Joe in advance. That freaked out donors. And of course there were the infamous short stairs so he didn't have to walk up the long stairs into Air Force One. - But that hasn't stopped people from seeing how awful he's been. Even this past week, when he announced the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, Biden had difficulties, confusing the Emir of Kuwait with the Emir of Qatar, saying Hezbollah (not Hamas) had invaded Israel on Oct. 7, and calling his National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan "Secretary." He even had trouble with just signing a simple bill. --But there was a little bit more in that report: the chief folks running cover for Biden. The report pointed the finger at six people protecting Biden. And you likely could have figured out at least one of them. -- Jill Biden, the first lady, and Hunter Biden, his surviving son, fervently believed in his ability to win. Mr. Donilon and Steve Ricchetti, the counselor to Mr. Biden, knew when and how to deliver information, along with Annie Tomasini, the deputy chief of staff. She and Anthony Bernal, the first lady’s most senior aide, took tight control over the president’s public schedule. All of them are deeply devoted to Mr. Biden. All are adept at navigating his quick temper. All enjoy proximity to the most powerful office in American politics. --Not only were these six people hiding the truth from us, but they were fooling themselves, thinking they could do this and no one would know. And it came back to bite them because now people despise Biden. -- https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2025/01/19/report-exposes-who-the-key-people-were-behind-protecting-biden-n2184539
