An Axios report that details how White House aides are "miserable" as Democratic Party influencers call on President Biden to drop out of the 2024 race revealed new details into the protective cocoon around the 81-year-old chief executive.

Officials quoted in the report said Deputy Chief of Staff Annie Tomasini, the first lady's close adviser Anthony Bernal, and longtime aide Ashley Williams have been assisting Biden when he has a mental lapse.

Once dismissed as normal lapses for any president, now longtime aides wonder if the president's staff has been hiding the severity of his mental decline from voters.

"Annie, Ashley and Anthony create a protective bubble around POTUS. He's staffed so closely that he's lost all independence," a former Biden aide told Axios. "POTUS relies on staff to nudge him with reminders of who he's meeting, including former staffers and advisers who Biden should easily remember without a reminder from Annie."

In a statement, White House spokesman Andrew Bates pushed back on the claims.

"These are standard processes for any White House, regardless of president or party. The claims about these individuals — whose professionalism and character are respected across the administration — are inaccurate," Bates said.

I suspect the note cards are utterly useless at this point. He can't even read the big screen teleprompter anymore.

Jill and son Hunter push Joe to fire staff as yet ANOTHER Biden swoops in to circle the wagons with presidential bid on life support

By Emily Goodin, Senior U.S. Political Reporter In Washington D.C.

Published: 11:27 EDT, 4 July 2024 | Updated: 15:36 EDT, 4 July 2024


Jill and Hunter Biden are taking command behind the scenes at the White House, urging President Joe Biden to fire staff they believed were of disservice to him and to fight on as the Democratic nominee.

Meanwhile, the president's sister, Valerie Biden Owens, who has served as Biden's 'gut check' and closest adviser, is on her way to the White House for the July 4th celebrations, where she will have face-to-face meetings regarding her brother's re-election campaign.

The trio's support for the president comes amid reports he has told allies he is considering dropping out of the race. The White House denies this, saying Biden is in it to win it. Biden and his team are working frantically to shore up support among party members, lawmakers, governors and donors to reassure them he can beat Donald Trump in November.

Jill, Hunter and Valerie are the three most important people in any decision Joe Biden makes about his future.

He listens to them the most. They would need to give their blessing from him to exit the presidential race.  But a new report from NBC News reveals how the trio is circling the wagons in support of Biden staying in the race.

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

The most dysfunctional family in the history of American politics

Worse than the Kennedys.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
