Trump Revokes Biden’s Security Clearance, Access to Daily Intelligence Briefings
And as Trump brings back plastic straws, a new study suggests microplastics may cause Alzheimer’s Disease.
President Donald Trump announced that he revoked Joe Biden’s security clearance and ended his daily intelligence briefings.
Trump stated there is no need for Biden to continue receiving access to classified information and that his administration cited Biden’s ‘poor memory”.
Trump, 78, argued that the former president set the precedent when he barred him from receiving access to the same briefings four years ago, citing Trump’s “erratic behavior.”
“There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social Post.
“Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearances, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings,” the president continued.
“He set this precedent in 2021, when he instructed the Intelligence Community (IC) to stop the 45th President of the United States (ME!) from accessing details on National Security, a courtesy provided to former Presidents.”
Ex-presidents and other former senior officials customarily retain access to classified information.

And as Biden’s ‘poor memory” and potential Alzheimer’s condition had been a worry for many Americans until last month’s inauguration of Trump, it is interesting to note that recent research has revealed a concerning connection between microplastics and Alzheimer’s disease.
Studies have found that people diagnosed with dementia, including Alzheimer’s, have up to 10 times more microplastics present in their brains than those without the condition.
Published in the Nature Medicine journal, the study by researchers from the University of New Mexico and the University of Oklahoma found that microplastic levels in human brains have increased by 50% over the past eight years. Dementia patients had up to 10 times more plastic in their brains than others according to the findings.
“This study joins a growing body of research on the potential harm of plastic particle accumulation in the body,” said Dr. Nirit Lev, head of Meir Medical Center’s neurology department.
“We used to focus on risk factors like medical history, physical activity, smoking and weight. Now we have a nearly invisible new factor — plastic particles — that we still struggle to measure and understand,” she explained.
The study examined brain, liver and kidney samples, finding the highest plastic concentrations in the brain. In 2016, average brain plastic levels were 3,345 micrograms per gram; by 2024, they had risen 50% to 4,917 micrograms per gram.
Dementia patients had 7 to 30 times more plastic in their brains than in other organs.

Of course, correlation is not causation. But given how plastic and phony Biden has been throughout his disgraceful career, it certainly is an intriguing explanation…at least in his case.
I would also like to point out that skepticism is warranted. Microplastics have become a target in recent years of eco-activists and those who despise the fossil fuel industry. As the discoveries related to USAID have revealed, a serious look at the funding that inspired this research must be had to ensure the researchers are doing an honest investigation and not one driven by supporting the latest narrative.
Fraud has been associated with research into Alzheimer’s disease. A major scandal in Alzheimer’s research emerged in 2022 when evidence of potential fraud was uncovered in several influential studies.
The controversy centered around a 2006 paper published in Nature, which identified a specific assembly of proteins called Aβ*56 as a promising target for Alzheimer’s treatment.
A publication in Science has uncovered a possible case of fraud in a major line of Alzheimer’s research. The alarm was raised by Matthew Schrag, a neuroscientist and neuroscientist at Vanderbilt University, and the journal itself continued the analysis. Specifically, they identified that there were all sorts of image manipulations in at least ten articles on the so-called Aβ*56 peptide. All of them included the byline of neuroscientist Sylvain Lesné.
Aβ*56 is a form in which the beta-amyloid protein, the substance that is found forming plaques in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients and which, according to the dominant theory of the last decades, is responsible for initiating the disease, can occur.
One of these ten papers is one of the most cited in the history of Alzheimer’s research. Published in Nature in 2006, it claimed that injecting the Aβ*56 form into healthy rats caused them to develop memory loss. It was the first time that a substance, theoretically present in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease, had been shown to directly cause these symptoms. It was an endorsement of the amyloid hypothesis.
Hopefully, a sweep-and-clean of grant funding and controls and better oversight of what type of research receives funding will make all scientific findings more trustworthy.
And, of course, the new study will likely be used as another excuse to attack Trump.
Probably the greatest achievement by Trump so far – a return to plastic straws!

Now have archives demand Biden return every document he took with him and if he doesn’t return them quickly enough send in the FBI to raid his residence.
Raid it anyway, just in case he made copies.
No — now raid his garage and his UPenn think tank! Quick!
Pretty sure no one wants to see Dr Jill’s underwear.
I dunno, given how Kamala’s husband keeps kissing Jill in public…
It’s OK, she’s their babysitter.
If they evidence has classified documents- like they had with ‘the moron’- they have every right to ask for it to be returned. If he refuses to cooperate- like ‘the moron’- then they have probable cause to raid his residence- like they had with ‘the moron’. Got it?
He had, you moron, and they found them, you moron, and he suffered no consequences at all, much less raids.
Considering what we know about the Biden syndicate, his plug should have been pulled day one.
Joe will just have to borrow Corn Pop’s briefings.
Corn Pop hasn’t been seen since he was dropped off at Joe’s Beach house along with a bag of groceries. Some suspect he may have been eaten by Dr Jill who mistook him for breakfast cereal. Others think he was misidentified by ICE as MS-13 and ended up on a flight to Guatemala.
Paint and tires are the biggest sources of microplastics. Banning straws or plastic packaging do nothing but virtue signal.
I suggested he do that. Along with all the other ex-potus’s.
Tit for tat works if you use it.
I’d like to know why ex-POTUSes need such briefings in the first place. They are no longer in office. They hold no critical positions.
Oh, for the days like in 1952, when Harry and Bess put suit cases into the trunk of their Chrysler, drove off the White House grounds, and drove home to Missouri. No fanfare, no airplanes, no motorcades of 50+ vehicles, no pomp, no circumstances.
I use stews daily , it helps me get me desired copious amount of fluids down
I’m not a big drinker of water in plastic but really, all liquids, OJ, milk, yougurt, juices are bottled in plastic
There are glass milk bottles that have returned, at a pretty price, but might be a good investment
It would be great if someone invented something innocuous that would rid us of internal plastics
I’d say inject acetone… but I’m not a biologist.
You remind me of Justice Jackson.
Inject, not huff.
This is very unfair to Hunter. How will he make any money if he doesn’t have classified info with which to barter? Hunter’s paintings have great value in the art world, but President Xi really prefers actionable classified info.
Now do Obama and Clinton….why stop there.
Truly. Obama and his cadre of fellow travelers are the people who need to be cut off from classified information.
Turnabout is fair play. He should take a mental health test if he wants it. But I doubt we will see much of Biden anyway.
It might just be me not noticing, but it seems the press has dropped Biden coverage to virtually nothing since 21 January.
To be honest, this move was not to deny Biden access to the daily intelligence briefings. It was to cut off the flow of intelligence to the crooks and liars who cluster around him, who have been using that information to fatten their own wallets at the expense of the US. Gravy train is over.
This is a good move. Joementia hasn’t got a clue what’s in the briefings so cutting this off cuts off the subversives that control him!
I am not tired of all this winning! 😂
They could give him the same briefing every day and he wouldn’t notice.
“Trump, 78, argued that the former president set the precedent”
Winning is slamming their own rules back in their faces… good and hard.
Too bad for Joe — no idea where he’ll get his intelligence from now. He’ll surely run out of what little he has left by National Ice Cream Month.
This move directly responds to Hollywood awarding Joe a talent agency contract. Without access to sensitive, declassified and top-secret information, Joe and Hunter’s family brokerage business is caput and rendered worthless. For Joe, turn out lights, the party is over
There is no reason that anyone who formerly worked for or was elected to a position in government gets any briefing or still has a security clearance. As for Biden, let’s be honest. The people who have been running the country the last few years are the ones using his clearance to see things they shouldn’t. This was a reasonable move for someone who is suffering dementia as who know what he might say in public or show to someone.
‘Moron’ who illegally mishandled classified documents worried about somebody else.smh. Just another day for ‘the moron’. Lol
No, he didn’t. Biden, on the other hand, undeniably did. There is no possible explanation for why, as a senator, he removed classified materials to which he had no right.
Nor why he did so again as vice president, and then as ex-vice-president. He wasn’t president at the time, so he had no power to declassify anything; unless 0bama specifically authorized him to do so, which nobody has so far claimed.
“‘Moron’ who illegally mishandled classified documents worried about somebody else.”
The article’s not about Biden, dummy.
I would also like to point out that skepticism is warranted. Microplastics have become a target in recent years of eco-activists and those who despise the fossil fuel industry. This. As soon as I saw the report alarm bells went off in my head.
Sure, it’s possible that this time the warning is for real. After all, that’s the real moral of the story of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. Because people didn’t believe the boy the one time when there really was a wolf, they lost their sheep. The boy didn’t lose anything. He couldn’t be blamed for the loss, since he did his job and reported the wolf exactly as he was supposed to, so it stands to reason that he kept his job, and the sheep owners learned their lesson, that even a liar occasionally tells the truth.
So yes, it’s possible that this time microplastics really are bad, that after so much effort they’ve finally found some harm that microplastics do. But that’s not the way to bet.
Oops, that first paragraph was a quote. I must have screwed up one of the blockquote tags.
I thought the same thing about cutting off subordinates’ access to briefing materials, and given the timing I wonder if Trump and his people deliberately waited to see if things from the briefings leaked from Biden’s camp to the press or others. And they saw it happen more than once.
Just spitballing here, but was the tip-off on the planned ICE raid the other day the final, ahem, straw that precipitated this announcement?
The beauty of doing it on a Friday when so many other things are going on, particularly the Kennedy Center announcement coming a few hours later, is that with the media admittedly unable to cover everything that outrages them, this action won’t get the coverage it otherwise would have because it isn’t deemed important enough. Even then, if “Trump deserved it in 2021!” gets thrown around Trump can then say, “I received conclusive evidence someone in Biden’s camp was leaking portions of the briefing to people who shouldn’t have it, which is dangerous to our country. I doubt it was him, because of his memory issues. I never betrayed our country like that.”
But Crossfire Golden Showers Hurricane during a threatening Ukrainian phone cal to Georgia!
I’ll say it again: anyone who leaves a job for any reason, and who had a security clearance for that job, should lose said clearance.
Yes, of course. And people in private industry do in fact lose their clearances after moving on from their jobs.
But we know that for ex-gov employees retaining their access to classified info gives them something to sell when out of government service. While this seems to ordinary people to be the exact reason to strip those clearances,, government folks refuse to consider losing one of their “benefits”
As we are being made brutally aware, there is a vast and grossly entwined system of government and private companies, busily at work shifting tax money out of our pockets and into theirs.
God bless DOGE,
And should not take classified documents and then refuse to return them when requested,right?
Unless, of course, they declassify them before taking them, having the authority to do so. Which Biden never had as a senator or as vice president.
You’re so far behind the curve, Junior.
You’re like a hallucinating AOC.AI .
Seems obvious, mentally deficient people shouldn’t be trusted with state secrets. Especially when they’re also grifting traitors.
I’ve haven’t heard a better description of Trump. Traitor ( 1/6) . Mentally unstable….
The constitution defines treason. Nothing Trump is even accused of by his most deranged enemies fits.
I have. A better description would be “Your President.” And there’s absolutely nothing you can do to change that. So enjoy Trump being your President for the next four years. 🙂
I have to differ on that. He’s only president of the united states, and none of us is a state. So he’s not our president.
That’s an important distinction to bear in mind.
