Lie of the Year: Joe Biden Is “Sharp, Intensely Probing, Detail-Oriented, and Focused”
They were all complicit in a massive fraud against the American electorate.
All politicians lie from time to time, but the Democrats have elevated it to an art form. They understand that if a lie is repeated often enough, it gains traction, and most people will eventually believe it. They’ve also learned that the most effective lies are the ones that are the most difficult to disprove, such as their insistence in 2016 that President-elect Donald Trump was an agent of Russia.
The Russian collusion narrative was a stunning success for the Democrats, creating endless challenges for candidate and eventually President Trump. Buoyed by its effectiveness, party operatives felt emboldened, pushing them to concoct even bigger and bolder lies.
When former Vice President Joe Biden entered the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, the party quickly rallied behind him, convinced he was their best chance to defeat Trump. It was evident, however, that Biden had changed during his time out of the spotlight. He had slowed down, struggled to speak without a teleprompter, slurred his words, and frequently lost his train of thought. While Republicans and foreigners recognized the early signs of cognitive decline, Biden’s handlers worked tirelessly to cover it up.

Four years later, Biden’s cognitive lapses have become too big to hide. Yet the party continued to insist he was fully compos mentis, a vital trait for any world leader. Their carefully constructed narrative came crashing down during a late-June debate in Atlanta, Georgia, when the truth was laid bare. In that moment, the leader of the free world was exposed as a senile, doddering old man, shattering the illusion his party had tried so hard to maintain. No amount of spin could save the situation.
The electorate was horrified by Biden’s frail physical condition, his incoherence, and his vacant, slack-jawed stares during the debate. And Democratic politicians and pundits, the same ones who have assured voters for years that Biden was “sharp as a tack,” were finally forced to admit the truth: The president was not fit to serve.
But Biden’s candidacy wasn’t the only casualty of the debate. Among the wounded were First Lady Jill Biden, every member of the president’s inner circle, Democratic members of Congress (except for Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN), who challenged Biden in the Democratic primary because of his age), Biden’s personal physician, and the legacy media, which has become the party’s Praetorian Guard. Each one of these individuals was willing to vouch for Biden’s mental competence and physical stamina, knowing full well that he is a senile man in physical decline. They are all complicit in a massive fraud against the American electorate.
The Washington Post has FINALLY confessed that President Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical decline was obvious during his debate with Donald Trump on June 27.
Yet the Post also claimed that Biden’s decision to quit the presidential race was “selfless,” even if he was removed… pic.twitter.com/ZhCarvwMmU

The X account @EndWokeness compiled a montage showcasing top Democrats lying through their teeth to convince voters that not only was Biden cognitively fit, but that they struggled to keep up with him.
The first clip features White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre caught off guard when CNN’s Don Lemon asks if Biden has the stamina to remain in office beyond 2024. Laughing, she replies that she herself can’t keep up with him.
Next, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas appears on Meet the Press and states, “The most difficult part about a meeting with President Biden is preparing for it. He is sharp, intensely probing, detail-oriented, and focused.”
And, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi tells CNN’s Anderson Cooper, “Biden has vision, he has knowledge, he has (sic) strategic thinker.”
And so it goes—lie after shameless lie. They should have chosen a lie that was harder to disprove.
Incredible montage of the regime telling us Biden is sharper than ever. Literally North Korea.

In the following clip, a panel of liberals on CBS News show “Face the Nation” identifies Biden’s obvious decline as “the most underreported story of the year.” In perhaps one of the most tone-deaf comments of the year, Jan Crawford, the network’s chief legal correspondent, tells colleagues, “That would be, to me, Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate.”
“And, it’s starting to emerge now that his advisers kind of managed his limitations [as] reported in the Wall Street Journal, for four years,” she says with a straight face.
“Yet he insisted that he could still run for president. We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another four years. Which could have led to a primary for the Democrats. It could have changed the scope of the entire election.”
The story in the Wall Street Journal was interesting, yes, because it provided specifics. But it was hardly new news to anyone who covers politics for a living. Crawford was simply trying to shield herself from blame for her part in perpetuating the lie.
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) sums up the Democrats’ hypocrisy perfectly in the tweet below:
They blamed it on a "Stutter."
They blamed it on "Russian Disinfo."
They blamed it on "Cheap-Fakes."
They hid him at every opportunity.
They scripted every public event.
They denied the Hur Report findings.
They sent him on vacation for 570 days.
They brazenly lied to you FOR… pic.twitter.com/ovnQtFsX8t— Byron Donalds (@ByronDonalds) December 30, 2024

All one needed to see was Biden’s exchange with Clarence Thomas during the latter’s confirmation hearing over thirty years ago to conclude he was a moron.
Moron’s don’t typically get smarter when dementia sets in and that was plainly obvious in 2020.
The sooner the MSM & the Democrat Party are tossed into the circular file of history the better.
IMO Biden has not been “all there” since his 2 brain surgeries for aneurysms in 1988, one of which had burst. I also suspect that these surgeries make current diagnosis more difficult. Finally, that video suggests that it is no wonder Biden thinks he could have beaten Trump. I would not bet that he has ever been told of his real situation. There has been too much at stake for all these people to risk Biden “slipping” and mentioning a diagnosis.
For example, he still thinks he was the president. 😂🤣
According to Trump, Ted Kennedy once told him that Biden was the dumbest of all the senators. I wrote about this last year.

“In a recent interview with Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo, former President Donald Trump recounted a long-ago conversation he’d had with the late Sen. Ted Kennedy. He claimed he asked Kennedy whom he considered to be the smartest senator. “I won’t tell you the answer because I don’t particularly like the guy. I said, ‘Who’s the dumbest?’ He said, ‘Probably Joe [Biden].’”
“According to Trump, Kennedy said, “He’s hale and hearty and well meant, [great] personality, but you go to policy or you go to taxes or anything that’s complicated, he doesn’t have a clue.”
Agree, Elizabeth.
That’s damning coming from someone in your own party.
If Kennedy was the Lion of the Senate, what would that make Biden? The Turkey?
The Liar of the Senate
I always thought of Biden as a buffoon. I think a lot of people did. And that was long before his symptoms of dementia began showing.
A crooked buffoon. What amazes me is how dull witted people can be effective crooks.
EVERYBODY did. Even the Democrats used to joke about Biden being Obama’s ‘insurance policy’ because nobody was stupid enough to kill Obama and leave the idiot as President.
Biden graduated 76th in a class of 85 at Syracuse University College of Law.
So yeah, he never was the sharpest knife in the drawer.
From the Bee:
White House Insists Jimmy Carter Is Still Sharp
And Focused Behind Closed Doors
The entire reason Biden has always whined about ‘comparing IQs’ is that back in the…. 70’s or 80’s (forget which), a group ranked all of the Senators by intelligence, and Biden was DEAD LAST.
He’s never gotten over it.
it doesn’t matter what his mental condition was.
I saw plenty of signs that said “vote blue, no matter who “
Dewey Defeats Trump!
For the last year?
This went on for 4 years.
“Don’t believe your lying eyes”
Agreed. This has been the “Lie of the year” for the 4th consecutive year.
the only thing surprising to me was the large majority of democrats that believed he was sharp as a tack for the entire 4 years.
I don’t think any Dems actually believed it.
I don’t either. I saw a cartoon recently that showed a hallway of presidential portraits. There was Obama and Trump, then there was a huge group of Democrats where Biden should have been. Biden’s vacancy allowed a lot of unelected people to run the country. And that’s the way they wanted to keep it.
A lot of Dems are too dumb to see through the lies.
The talking heads never did, they just repeated it to con the rubes.
Their idiot voters actually DID believe it.
There are “professional Dems” and there are “registered Dems.”
I’m sure whole bunches of the latter believed it.
On the other hand, leftist voters are quite willing to believe any number of conflicting “facts” and obediently regurgitate them when asked.
They were told Biden was fine, so he WAS fine.
They blame it on a “Stutter”. They blame it on “Russian Disinfo.” They blame it on “Cheap-Fakes.”
They do like the parents of the gender confused children and say, “Hey, he was born that way.”
“They should do….”
I asked Santa for an edit function for Christmas, but he said he only had one and he gave it to Joe Biden’s handlers so they could edit his remarks and make him look sharp like Jimmy Carter.
There is no reason the democrats should not have felt confident in peddling this lie, given the complete charade that passes as the Obama biography. A charade so effective it is considered beyond the pale to broach even in conservative circles. The difference is that Obama was able to support the charade, whereas Biden, by definition, was not. Their only mistake was in not isolating him from the public with the excuse that in these perilous times his keen mind was too focused on the urgent business of the people to allow for the customary public appearances. With controlled access given to certain tame media stars, this would have worked.
There are two ends of a tack. So much talk of someone who is and has been tackless.
I suspect biden will take one more blow against Trump. He’ll resign 15 minutes before Trump takes office so that he’ll be 48, not 47. Kamala will pardon some of her cronies
Joe Biden, “intensely probing?”
Tara Reade unavailable for comment?
No, that was the second biggest lie.
The biggest is that he was a friend of Israel.
Lie of the year, ‘TRUMP CAN’T WIN’.
“… Sharp,
intensely probing,
detail-oriented,
and focused.”
What kind of ice cream are we having? Vanilla? No, no, NO! I want chocolate ice cream … two scoops … with multi-colored sprinkles … on a waffle cone.
The current LIE is that they covered up Biden’s mental incompetence for just the last year.
The man was clearly 20+ years along with crippling senile dementia when he was running in 2020.
The legacy “mainstream” press was fully aware of this at the time, but they did their actual job: Helping D’s win elections no matter what.
None of them are actual journalists, not a single one. Rather, they function as the PR firm for National Socialism.
“…challenged Biden in the Democratic primary because of his age), …”
Just one more misleading phrase… It was NOT his “age” it was his mental incapacity. If it were just age, then we should toss a number of Congresscritters … well, I guess we should do that anyway.
And every serious “journalist” (both of them?) should be starting every interview with these people by asking bluntly:
“And considering your duplicity in the ‘Biden Senility Coverup’ why should anyone trust ANYTHING you say now?”
…. and not move on until a believable answer is given.
