It was clear to me from the beginning that when the media all began touting concerns about “age” in the 2020 election, it was intended to be used as a Swiss Army Knife. The mediacrats could deploy the epithet with abandon against any candidate, pretending they were being fair and balanced by using it can opener against their guy, while using the sharp blade epithet to knife Donald Trump in the back when needed.
For those with IYKYK (If You Know You Know) radar, you could see the operation conceived of and deployed in the run-up to the 2020 election. It exploded in the media's faces in the 2024 campaign.
The “age” trope was always about Trump.
The mediacrats, White House aides, and President Autopen substituted "age" for Joe Biden losing his mind so that they could claim that all people of a certain age, like Donald Trump, were too old. See, men this age all have lost a little something off the fastball, they reasoned. They hoped that by deploying the chaff, you couldn't see Joe falling while running the bases.
As I’ve said in the past, it was never about “old”; it was always about Joe’s dementia and his stiff and enfeebled body. They just used “old” as a proxy so they could deploy it against indefatigable Trump when the time suited them. The mediacrats can't even catch up with "old" President Trump to slip the knife between his ribs.
Now, Vodkapundit reveals that in his story “Just When You Thought Biden's Health Cover-Up Couldn't Get Any Worse…” that White House aides went into DEFCON 1 panic mode in 2024 when they learned that Joe’s doctor — you know, the one who attested that he was in perfect health? — might stick the doddering cadaver in a wheelchair if he fell one more time.

Aides chalked up questions about Joe tripping over a sandbag at the Air Force Academy as "partly the result of him fracturing his foot in November 2020, and then refusing to consistently wear his walking boot. In short, they said, Biden was being undone by his own vigor."
The liars at the White House, mediacrats, and minions could not tolerate a picture of an old man in a wheelchair. It was a bad look for Brand Democrat.
Do you know the old post-Watergate axiom: The cover-up is worse than the crime? The in-progress cover-up by Jen Psaki, who was the White House spokesperson, now claims that she “never saw that person — not [Dementia Joe] a single time, and I was in the Oval Office every day.” She claimed she’d never seen Biden lose the plot like he did on the debate stage.
Oh, please.
Ol’ Jen saw plenty and heard plenty more. America saw it.
I know plenty of sharp 80-year-olds. Joe Biden ain’t one.
In February 2022, an ABC News/Washington Post poll showed that 54% of Americans didn’t believe Joe Biden possessed the “mental sharpness it takes to serve effectively as president.”
Here’s a report in The Independent (!) about what she said in February of 2022 when asked about President Non-Compos Mentis by none other than George Stephanopoulos:
White House press secretary Jen Psaki dodged the public sentiment about Biden’s presidency when questioned about his mental capacity by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.
“A majority in our recent poll out this morning even question the president’s mental capacity, how is he going to turn that around on Tuesday night and how much has the State of the Union been changed by this war in Ukraine?” Mr Stephanopoulos asked during his Sunday program.
In her response, Ms Psaki ignored Mr Stephanopoulos’ question about the septuagenarians’ mental fortitude and insteadfocused on the president’s upcoming speech.
“You know, George, from covering State of the Unions for some time, that it is about delivering a message to the public at a moment in time. And if you look back when President Obama gave his first State of the Union, it was during the worst financial crisis in a generation,” Ms Psaki said.
George, who’s gone into a bit of a hidey hole since his network settled a defamation lawsuit with Donald Trump, never followed up.
This was also at the time when 38 Republican congressmen, including former presidential physician Rep. Ronny Jackson, demanded that Biden take a cognitive test.
Now, Psaki from her perch as a host on MSNBC says, “I’m not a doctor,” so she couldn't possibly speculate on Biden's mental acuity. Spoken just like a woke Supreme Court Justice.
These were some of the same reporters who called octogenarian Nancy Pelosi whip-smart while referring to others in her cohort as too old. We’ve got Supreme Court justices bumping up to the sliding scale of “too old." The mediacrats stand ready to pounce.
This is a scandal larger than Watergate, of course. They did "Weekend at Bernie's" to Joe Biden for four-plus years to retain power and threw every law book within reach at Donald Trump to hold him back. There were three attempts on Trump's life that we know about.
During Trump 45, they staged multiple coup-like operations to undermine or oust him. These occurred by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, January 6 operators, multiple attempts by a CIA operative in cahoots with Democrat lawyers, the FBI, and Hillary's team, and the lying Dan Goldberg, Pelosi, and Adam Schiff.
They all lied for their political party to win an election and claw back power. New "tell-all" books concede that Joe wasn't "too old"; he was an empty vessel.
