The first – and likely only – Presidential debate of the 2024 campaign was an unmitigated disaster for Joe Biden.
All hell broke loose when it was over.
And Jill Biden did one thing after the debate that left everyone in shock.
Debate debacle
Joe Biden proved once and for all that he is in severe cognitive decline.
Biden stared vacantly into space during the debate with eyes that looked like a bottomless black well.
A raspy Biden rambled incoherently through his answers, at one point committing an act of terrorism against the English language with one of his glitches.
“We’d be able to help make sure that all those things we need to do – childcare, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our healthcare system, making sure that we’re able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I’ve been able to do with the, uh, with the Covid. Excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with, look, we finally beat Medicare,” Biden said.

But, amazingly, when Biden didn’t speak, he was even worse.
When Trump spoke, the split screen image showed Biden standing there, confused, with mouth agape, and his pupils dilated to look like a bottomless black pit.
The worst comes last
The most damning image – and what may be the final nail in the coffin for the Biden campaign and Presidency – came at the conclusion of the debate.
And that was video of Jill Biden helping an enfeebled Joe Biden walk down three stairs to exit the debate stage.

Texas Congressman Chip Roy saw this video and asked, “Who is the Commander in Chief?”
For a week, the media followed the marching orders handed down by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and declared any video clip of Joe Biden’s brain freezing, mindlessly wandering around the G-7 Summit talking to ghosts, or needing physical assistance to simply walk were nothing but “cheap fakes.”
That was all a lie.
Just like it was a lie when, for four years, the media attacked conservatives for pointing out that Joe Biden was senile.
On August 19, 2021, CNN’s Chris Cillizza wrote of conservatives questioning Biden’s lucidity: “Scott, Hagerty, Hewitt and Geraghty are not doctors. Or medical professionals . . . This is the sort of gross, lowest-common-denominator politics that drive people away from public life. If Republicans have some sort of proof that Biden is declining, they should bring it forward. If they don’t, they should stop doing what they’re doing. Immediately.”
Democrats and members of the press all knew for the last four years the Joe Biden that showed up on the debate stage was the real Joe Biden.
But they lied and covered up, knowing that if they told the truth, it would help Donald Trump.
That charade ended at the debate.
