Joe Biden’s physical and mental deterioration has been evident for years to any sentient human being. But now, a new book has revealed even more disturbing information that has been hidden from the public. As TGP readers may know, liberal CNN hack Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson have written a new book called “Original Sin,” which is due out on May 20. The book details Biden’s initial run for re-election despite clear evidence of decline and his regime’s efforts to censor the truth from the public. Tapper and Johnson reveal that Biden’s decline had become so serious that his handlers considered putting him in a wheelchair. But Biden’s employees believed doing so would doom any hope he had at seizing another term (Biden, of course, was forced out of the race anyway). From Axios: “Biden’s physical deterioration — most apparent in his halting walk — had become so severe that there were internal discussions about putting the president in a wheelchair, but they couldn’t do so until after the election,” the authors write. Biden aides believed it was politically untenable to have Biden use a wheelchair during his re-election campaign. “Given Biden’s age, [his physician Kevin O’Connor] also privately said that if he had another bad fall, a wheelchair might be necessary for what could be a difficult recovery,” the authors report. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/new-book-reveals-alarming-new-details-about-extent/ Inflation dipped to a four-year low despite tariff uncertainty, indicating consumer prices have barely been affected by President Donald Trump's trade war. The annual inflation in April fell to 2.3%, which is the lowest rate since February 2021. Although Trump's tariff policies sparked fears that prices would skyrocket, the annualized inflation rate during Trump's second term so far is only at 1.6%, which is considerably slower compared to former President Joe Biden's term, which saw an 8.6% annualized inflation rate during the first 18 months. Trump also struck two trade deals in the last week with the United Kingdom and China, alleviating consumers' concerns about market volatility. The Justice Department's probe could spell trouble for controversial Biden pardonees such as Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, members of the Biden clan, and former members of the House Jan. 6 select committee — including Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), whom President Donald Trump and other Republicans have faulted for various alleged crimes and improprieties. For instance, Trump has suggested that Milley may have committed "treason." While previously serving as Trump's most senior uniformed adviser, Milley called his communist Chinese counterpart, communist Gen. Li Zuocheng, on two occasions — four days before the 2020 election and on Jan. 8, 2021 — to reassure Zuocheng that he would provide him with actionable warnings should Trump decide to attack. Milley received a pardon just hours before former President Joe Biden left office. Fauci, the fifth director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, received a "full and unconditional" pass for possible federal crimes going back to Jan. 1, 2014 — around the time the Obama administration supposedly halted funding for dangerous gain-of-function research. In February, over 16 state attorneys general launched an investigation into Fauci's role in the COVID-19 pandemic response, "demanding accountability for alleged mismanagement, misleading statements, and suppression of scientific debate." Without his autopen pardon, Fauci would be legally exposed at both the state and federal levels. Biden's cognitive decline was already enough for Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (R) and others to question the legal legitimacy of pardons bearing his machine-printed signature; however, suspicions about the validity of the documents was compounded by reports of staffers and family members making decisions on Biden's behalf; evidence that his signature appeared on documents while he was on vacation... President Donald Trump soon weighed in on the autopen controversy, declaring in a March 17 post on Truth Social that the "'Pardons' that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them!" "The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden," continued Trump. "He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime.... WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is hearing its first set of Trump-related arguments in the second Trump presidency. The case stems from the executive order President Donald Trump issued on his first day in office that would deny citizenship to children born on U.S. soil to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily. The Supreme Court is taking up emergency appeals filed by the Trump administration asking to be able to enforce the executive order in most of the country, at least while lawsuits over the order proceed. The constitutionality of the order is not before the court just yet. Instead, the justices are looking at potentially limiting the authority of individual judges to issue rulings that apply throughout the United States. These are known as nationwide, or universal, injunctions. New Jersey Solicitor General Jeremy Feigenbaum stepped up to make his case...He is arguing on behalf of the states that say they’ll lose millions of dollars in benefits available to U.S. children and also have to overhaul identification systems. Arguing first is D. John Sauer, the solicitor general and the government’s top attorney before the Supreme Court. Sauer began by taking aim at decisions from lower courts that apply nationwide. He argued that they go beyond the courts’ authority and allow people who want to file lawsuits to go “judge shopping” for those they expect to agree. Trump says in an online post that granting citizenship to people born here, long seen as a constitutional promise, makes the country look “STUPID” and like “SUCKERS.” His executive order at the heart of today’s case aims to end birthright citizenship for children born to people in the U.S. illegally, something many legal scholars say would require amending the Constitution. During a hearing this week, Kennedy told members of Congress that the Biden administration’s policies regarding the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) program — where migrant kids are turned over to HHS for care and resettlement with relatives in the United States — resulted in potentially 500,000 UACs going missing in the U.S. “The estimate from the Office of Inspector General, and it is considered a very low estimate, is 291,000 children missing. The actual numbers are actually much higher than that; they could go up to half a million,” Kennedy revealed. As Breitbart News chronicled, former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra reportedly carried out a policy that prioritized the release of UACs to adult sponsors over long-held protocols to protect such children from labor trafficking, sex trafficking, and child abuse. The result, federal watchdogs have found, is that HHS under Biden lost track of hundreds of thousands of UACs who were resettled with adult sponsors who were not their family members. “My predecessor was deliberately employing a policy of speed over safety so they waived all of the identification requirements for sponsors,” Kennedy said. “Sponsors were not required to show valid identification, they were never fingerprinted, so we don’t know if there’s a criminal record. There was no DNA testing so the claims that they were taking a family member were … they were dubious. Kennedy said that under his direction, HHS has launched a criminal task force and has already opened 500 criminal investigations, 80 of which have been brought to court thus far. “We are going to try to find everything we can, we need DHS to find these children,” Kennedy said. “The federal government under the Biden administration became the biggest facilitator for child abuse, certainly in the history of our country.” President Donald Trump’s administration has imposed significant reforms to the UAC program, ensuring that adult sponsors seeking UACs are required to hand over fingerprints, undergo DNA testing to prove familial relation to the UAC they are trying to take custody of, and meet income requirements. HHS is also verifying IDs to ensure sponsors are who they say they are. “Nobody gets a kid without showing that they are a family member,” Kennedy said.
