Here Are 9 Questions About The Biden White House That Must Be Answered After Cancer Diagnosis

It is now socially safe to state the obvious out loud. Former President Joe Biden was not physically or mentally healthy enough to be president. And based on his 2020 presidential campaign when he was often hidden from public view and mostly stayed home, Biden was probably not even well enough to campaign.
The reason that talk of Biden’s poor health makes the left bristle is because it triggers a big question that can only lead to possibly the biggest presidential scandal in our nation’s history.
Who was acting as president in the shadows, running the country from Jan. 20, 2021 to Jan. 20, 2025 while Biden held office? That key question leads to more detailed questions. The American people deserve answers.
Who was making policy?
This is the main question. Who was calling the shots? Was it mainly a single person, a small team, or a total free-for-all for bureaucrat-led agencies to make any policies they wanted with little, if any, oversight?
Was it family members? Former President Barack Obama staff members who permeated Biden’s inner circle? Appointees? Or a combination of all of these?
Biden was inaugurated, but the American people did not know who was acting as president. The situation created an administration with no accountability. Don’t like the decisions coming out of the White House? Go blame Biden. He is too isolated to hear the complaints. The people pulling the strings stay hidden and shielded from blame.
Biden struggled to communicate, but managed to issue 162 executive orders.
Was it Biden’s job-killing idea to revoke the permit to build the Keystone XL Pipeline on his first day? Was it Biden’s plan to reverse President Donald Trump’s immigration orders on Day One, opening the borders for four years? Or was he advised by more assertive staffers who told him what to do? How can we be sure this never happens again?
Who operated the autopen?
How many people operated the autopen, one or many? Was Biden told about everything signed in his name? Was he unable to write his own name, or incapable of understanding the content of the documents? Do items signed with autopen in the name of a president who was not cognitively capable to make decisions stand as legitimate, or can they be challenged? Rep. James Comer, R-Ky. last week announced the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will investigate this question.
What was former Vice President Kamala Harris’ role?
The vice president is the natural choice to fill roles when the president is not capable. But Harris was given mostly fluffy assignments. She is not capable of articulating complicated concepts.
When Biden’s handlers put Harris in charge of the border, she was criticized because she did little and nothing changed. It was not until she became the presidential candidate that she finally went to the U.S.-Mexican border in September 2024, while campaigning.
Harris has always maintained she did not detect any problems with Biden’s health. Was Harris one of Biden’s handlers, or was she taking directions from the same people who were managing Biden?
Who coordinated Biden’s live events and was still able to sleep at night?
The clearest public sign of Biden’s decline was his behavior at live events. Impromptu question and answer sessions were limited. The measure of a good speech from Biden was not the substance, but if he managed to get through it without an off-topic story of questionable truth or a newsworthy gaffe.
Biden was given notecards with instructions that a seasoned politician should not need, such as how to get to the podium, where to go after the speech, which reporters to call on, and his answer. But if a guy can’t figure out how to get off stage, he should not oversee the codes to launch a nuclear war.
Who wrote Biden’s scripts? Who decided what policy answers Biden would give and what are they doing now? Who decided which media to call on?
Why did they let Biden debate?
The presidential debate was held in June 2024, which is earlier than usual. Before Biden and Trump debated, Biden shirked his presidential duties, spending days at Camp David practicing on a replica debate stage with political handlers.
Surely they saw Biden was bombing in practice. Did they want the public to see Biden fail?
Immediately after the debate, propaganda media was in lock step, reporting Biden tanked and there is no way he could continue to run for president.
The debate was no worse than some of Biden’s daily gaffes, but suddenly everyone agreed he had to go.
If Biden was in no shape to run a campaign, why wasn’t he removed from office for the same reason? Why not put Harris in to fill out the rest of his term, giving her an incumbent advantage in the election? Was it because the White House handlers didn’t want the public to see Harris in action? Or because they wanted to get as much done as possible while the cooperative puppet was still in place?
What did Biden know?
Occasionally, Biden said something in a speech like, “I’m not supposed to say this …” indicating he was being critiqued or even admonished about how he spoke in public.
It was hard to watch when he fell at the Air Force Academy graduation in 2023, or the several times he fell while climbing the stairs to Air Force One.
Bone cancer is painful, often before it is diagnosed. Was Joe Biden in pain? And if so, was he using powerful medicines to manage pain?
How aware was Biden that he needed extraordinary help? Did he resent it? Was he cooperative? If he was very aware, is Biden a victim, or at fault himself for remaining in office after it was clearly too much for him? Did Jill Biden intervene and advocate for the 25th Amendment to have Biden removed for a disability? Did Kamala Harris? Did anyone have the compassion to seek an end to Biden’s humiliation?
Who orchestrated the Covid response?
In September, 2021, the Biden administration mandated mandatory Covid shots for employees at companies with more than 100 workers and workers at health facilities that receive Medicare or Medicaid. Employees were forced to choose between their job or taking a shot some were opposed to. The military lost many seasoned workers and, while hospitals were crowded with patients, employees opposed to the mandatory shot were quitting. The courts were filled with people who wanted to keep their jobs without submitting to the Covid shot.
Who came up with the policies about masking, shots, and social distancing? Who wrote the document “Path Out Of The Pandemic: President Biden’s COVID-19 Action Plan,” and did Biden read and understand it? Who is responsible for the devastating, life changing effects these policies had on Americans?
What did world leaders think of Biden?
Whether slow walking with a teetering Biden during the G7 Summit, or watching him nap during an economic summit in Africa, world leaders saw a weak version of America on Biden’s watch.
Some heads of state had prior experience with Biden and his family.
The Federalist’s Margot Cleveland recounted a House impeachment report, writing, “Joe Biden conspired with his family members and their business partners to monetize his position as vice president. In exchange for access to then-Vice President Biden, foreign individuals and entities gave various Biden family members and their friends more than $27 million —some of those proceeds passed directly on to the Big Guy.”
Biden arrived at the White House already improperly entangled with Kazakhstan, China, Romania, and Ukraine, the report shows.
In 2014, Hunter Biden, with no energy expertise, was placed on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma. While his son was on the board, in 2015, then-Vice President Joe Biden demanded Ukraine remove a prosecutor or lose $1 billion in loans from the International Monetary Fund. The U.S. has spent billions of dollars on defense for Ukraine’s in its war with Russia, and Biden was committed to spending more.
Did Biden’s suspicious dealings with Ukraine years earlier compromise Biden’s willingness to negotiate peace with Russia? (Would he have even been capable of brokering peace?) And if so, how did that play out once his handlers got involved?
Will there be accountability?
Anyone in the Biden Administration’s inner circle who watched Biden and his family benefit from the clout of the presidency while covering up his numerous deficiencies should be punished. At minimum, they should never again be able to hold office or a government job. After lying to the public, no taxpayer should ever back their paycheck again.
Will Republicans and thinking Democrats find avenues to prosecute Bidens and all the players involved in this four-year long open secret.
