The Biden/Harris Regime / June 11, 2025
Who Were Biden’s Autopen Puppeteers?
“[Biden] managed to wake up long enough to let almost every single killer off of death row. Was Biden making these terrible decisions, or was someone else the de facto president?”

“No Wall of words … no mound of parchment can be so formed as to stand against the sweeping torrent of boundless ambition on the one side, aided by the sapping current of corrupted morals on the other.” —George Washington (1789)
In a recent column reference to the plethora of Leftmedia fabrications by “journalists,” I noted the most celebrated example currently is the book Original Sin by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’s Alex Thompson, in which they preposterously claim they had no idea Joe Biden was mentally incapacitated. I also noted that they were in “collusion with the Biden/Harris regime to cover up Biden’s degraded mental capacity in order to pave a post-2024 Democrat primary path to the presidency for Kamala Harris and Tim ‘Stolen Valor’ Walz.”

The Tapper/Thompson clown show wanted America to believe the entire mainstream media could not see what anyone with an IQ equal to their age could clearly see: overwhelming evidence of Biden’s cognitive decline. Despite their “shock and surprise” claim about Biden’s mental status, Tapper noted that, according to a well-placed White House source, “Five people were running the country, and Joe Biden was at best a senior member of the board.”

“At best,” Joe Biden may have been present.

This was not just a decline in Biden’s last year. I checked columns I have written since Biden became a primary candidate in 2020, and I have referenced him as “non compos mentis” (Latin for “of unsound mind,” the loss of memory or ability to reason) 65 times — the first in January 2020, when I noted that if Biden made it beyond Super Tuesday, despite the fact he was obviously and demonstrably non compos mentis, the Demo primary was rigged.

Beginning with his nomination in August of that year, I have repeatedly referenced his “controllers,” his “handlers,” and his “puppeteers,” as have our other analysts. The speculation that someone else was in charge was no revelation for us.

This week, Barack Obama’s White House physician, Jeffrey Kuhlman, told The Washington Post that Joe Biden’s White House physician, Kevin O'Connor, clearly should have administered cognitive tests to Biden in his last year in office. Kuhlman, who also served as Biden’s doctor in 2009 when he was vice president, said O'Connor’s 2024 assessment of Biden as “fit for duty” included no neurocognitive testing.

According to Kuhlman: “Sometimes those closest to the tree miss the forest. It shouldn’t be just health, it should be fitness. Fitness is: Do you have that robust mind, body, spirit that you can do this physically, mentally, emotionally demanding job?” He added: “I didn’t see that [O'Connor was] purposely hiding stuff, but I don’t know that. Maybe the investigation will show it.”

Now, Donald Trump and Congress have elevated a very important question: Who was actually in charge when Biden was in office?

Trump had previously raised the issue in March, laying the groundwork to prompt an investigation. As The Wall Street Journal put it, “Congress should get to the bottom of the ‘Politburo’ that governed while the president declined.”

Last week, Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate whether Biden’s aides “abused the power of Presidential signatures through the use of an autopen to conceal Biden’s cognitive decline and assert Article II authority.” Actually, we now know there were three Biden autopens.

The order notes: “This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history. The American public was purposefully shielded from discovering who wielded the executive power, all while Biden’s signature was deployed across thousands of documents to effect radical policy shifts.”

Last week, Biden responded with an unequivocal denial: “Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.”

No idea who wrote that denial!

Trump’s order is supported by Special Counsel Robert Hur’s February 2024 investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents, in which Hur concluded that Biden “willfully retained and disclosed” classified information but should not be prosecuted because he is a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” I detailed his report that month, asserting that Demo delegates would eventually dump Biden. That seemed obvious to our team, and in fact, 16 months earlier, in October 2022, I stepped way off the prognostication reservation and as

Conservative Lessons From My Father That Shaped My Perspective
He believed that relying on government assistance could encourage dependence, and I realized that my father’s hard work was subsidizing luxuries for others.

I remember the day I became a conservative. I was in eighth grade, sitting in the school cafeteria during lunch. I noticed that everyone in line was receiving free lunches, but I was not. My father had to give me cash each week to buy my lunch. Meanwhile, my classmates used their cash to buy juice and snacks. That was when I started to question why I didn’t qualify for free lunch like the others.

I approached the cafeteria lady and asked why I wasn’t eligible. She handed me a form to be filled out by my parents. I took the form home and asked my father to fill it out so I could get free lunch and use my cash for snacks. He told me that he made too much money to qualify. I was confused because I thought everyone just needed to fill out the form; I didn’t understand why I was excluded.

My father then explained a fundamental conservative principle: personal responsibility. He believed that relying on government assistance could encourage dependence and discourage working hard. Instead, he emphasized the importance of taking responsibility for oneself and paying for one’s needs through effort and hard work. He explained that we should be self-reliant rather than expecting government programs to support us.

He also pointed out that our income placed us in a different tax bracket. Our taxes were funding those free lunches for other students. As he spoke, I looked around and saw many kids wearing brand-name shoes and clothes. I realized that my father’s hard work was subsidizing those luxuries for others, which made me think about fairness and the role of government in redistribution.

My father’s decision not to sign those papers was rooted in the conservative belief that dependence on government programs can create a cycle of reliance. He wanted me to understand that success comes from effort, not entitlement. He believed that individuals should be empowered to succeed through their own initiative, not through government support that might discourage personal responsibility.

That moment was pivotal for me. It shaped my perspective and taught me key conservative principles. I learned the importance of personal responsibility, the value of limited government, and that hard work and individual effort are essential for success. It reinforced my belief that government should serve as a facilitator, not a crutch. From that day forward, I understood that policies encouraging self-reliance and fiscal responsibility are vital for a thriving society.

Newsom’s Nonsense
The first part of Governor Newsom’s Tuesday night speech had no audio. The second part had an echo, and most of it had no truth. It was lie after lie.

California Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to address the nation Tuesday night on social media. California Democrats can’t seem to do anything right.

We know they can’t build mass transit, adequate housing, or do the basic maintenance to prevent wildfires. Apparently, they can’t even do a live video on X. Newsom’s address was bedeviled by technical difficulties.

The first part of Newsom’s speech had no audio. The second part had an echo, and most of it had no truth. It was lie after lie.

First, Newsom said there was no trouble in Los Angeles until Trump “inflamed a combustible situation” by mobilizing the National Guard. “That’s when the downward spiral began,” the governor insisted.

That’s laughable! No timeline supports what Newsom said, but it’s become one of the Left’s major talking points. The violence started Friday night after leftist demonstrators interfered with federal immigration enforcement operations.

Knowing that Democrats refused to act during the 2020 riots, Trump proactively mobilized National Guard troops Saturday evening as the situation continued to deteriorate. Newsom also said Trump acted without ever calling him first. That’s a lie.

Newsom claimed that President Trump was forcing the military to “put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past.” That’s a lie.

The First Continental Congress voted to create the Continental Army on June 14, 1775. That is why the Army has always celebrated its birthday – not Donald Trump’s – on June 14th. This year is a special anniversary – the 250th anniversary of the United States Army.

When Newsom calls the duly elected president a “dictator,” he is intentionally doing everything he can to incite more rioting and violence, not only in Los Angeles but across the country.

By the way, one thing we would expect to see a lot of is reporters interviewing the protesters in the streets of Los Angeles. But we’re seeing very little of that. The reason is because the protesters are so out of the mainstream that their socialist, globalist rhetoric would likely alienate the average American.

The ‘Trans Woman’ Everyone Wants to Cancel
Members of the “transgender” tribe built their house on the shifting sands of subterfuge and shaming — it will not last against the rock of reality and truth.

Lily Tino, a “transgender” TikTok creator with nearly half a million followers, has become the center of a firestorm that’s got everyone — Left, Right, and even the trans community — scratching their heads.

Tino, known for livestreaming restaurant visits where he seems to bait servers into “misgendering” him, has already put his audience on edge, as most view his behavior to be obnoxious and unnecessarily confrontational. However, it’s Tino’s latest antics at Disney World that have pushed the controversy to new heights. From taking selfies in women’s bathrooms to talking about his private parts in kid-filled spaces, Tino’s actions have sparked petitions, legal debates, and a rare moment of bipartisan agreement that this might be going too far.

So, who is Lily Tino? Born Nick Contino, Tino grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, and began his transition after moving to San Francisco in 2020. Now identifying as a woman, he has built a TikTok platform around documenting his life as a trans person, often focusing on the self-inflicted victimhood that comes with being “misgendered” or the fear of navigating gendered spaces like bathrooms. With more than 400,000 followers, he has a solid audience, but his content, especially his Disney World escapades, has landed him in hot water.

The latest controversy kicked off last month, when Tino visited Disney World in Florida. Already known for videos where he sets up cameras to capture “transphobes,” Tino took things up a notch at the Magic Kingdom. He posted a TikTok ranking women’s bathrooms across the park, snapping selfies with other guests, including women and children, visible in the background. One video even featured him bragging about how he “peed while standing up” in a women’s restroom, while openly challenging Florida’s conservative leanings: “I’m a woman, so I’m going to use the women’s bathroom.”

This didn’t sit well with many folks. Social media erupted, with users accusing Tino of invading privacy and exploiting bystanders for clout. A Change.org petition started by a “concerned parent” called for Tino’s removal from TikTok, racking up over 365,000 signatures.

The petition argues that Tino’s behavior — especially filming in women’s restrooms and allegedly acting inappropriately around minors — poses a danger to young users and normalizes harmful actions. It reads, “Social media networks have the power to shape perceptions. … It is essential to ensure these platforms remain safe for impressionable young people.”

Both conservatives and liberals have been weighing in on this issue, agreeing that Tino’s actions are out of line. An opinion piece in the New York Post called his bathroom selfies a “selfish movement,” suggesting they undermine the trans community’s broader push for acceptance. Similarly, Disney Dining highlighted potential legal issues, noting that Florida’s Statute 810.145 prohibits video voyeurism in private spaces like bathrooms. While Tino’s still-shot selfies might not meet the legal threshold, the outlet emphasized the ethical breach of filming others without their consent. Another source, DeepNewz, reported on Tino’s demand for a Disney refund after being “misgendered” by park staff, framing it as an escalation of his confrontational style.

But here’s where it gets wild: Even the trans community and left-leaning activists, who’ve long championed behavior similar to Tino’s, are distancing themselves from him.

On platforms like Mumsnet and Reddit, trans creators and allies have called him out. Some label him a “pervert” or accuse him of faking his trans identity for views. One Mumsnet user wrote, “I can see why they would want to distance themselves from him because he makes TW [trans women] look terrible.” A Reddit thread in the “asktransgender” community went further, with users arguing that Tino’s “rage bait” content — like his Disney bathroom videos or using cake pops to discuss genital surgery near kids — harms the trans community’s image.

The irony is rich. For years, conservatives have argued that self-identification without clear standards opens the door to problematic behavior. In light of the backlash Tino is receiving from what should be his allies, we find ourselves asking, What is a trans person?

Yosemite Bans Giant Leftist Flags
El Capitan has been dealing with leftist protests, which finally led to a ban on large flag displays — a win for those who want an escape from the madness that is American politics.

Yosemite National Park’s granite rock faces are a Mecca of sorts for climbers. Formations like Half Dome and Cathedral Spire are popular spots to climb. None, however, is more famous than the imposing wall of El Capitan. It is a sheer granite edifice that is front and center when you first enter Yosemite.

Over the past several years, El Capitan has been hit by leftist political protests. In 2023, a climbing group known as Climbers With Palestine unfurled a large “stop the genocide” banner that was intended as prominent propaganda to greet park visitors.

One of the members who hung the sign, Miranda Oakley, is an expert climber and a Yosemite climbing guide who has scaled El Capitan over 20 times. She is also half-Palestinian. She told Climbing Magazine: “I’m not an activist. I’m a climber, that’s why I’m up here. Do what you can do to end this madness. Maybe it’s calling your representative, maybe it’s boycotting brands that profit from the apartheid, talking to friends and family, whatever. We’re just up here doing what we can do.”

This statement is silly. Oakley became an activist the second she decided to hang a political banner up on a prominent rock wall and when she involved herself in a climbing group called Climbers With Palestine. That’s about as politically neutral as a climbing group called Pro-Life Climbers. She is, however, not a very good activist. How many minds did her sign change? Probably less than the amount of people it annoyed. People don’t come to Yosemite to see political slogans plastered on majestic natural formations. It kind of defeats the purpose.

Some members of the National Park Service were part of the next group that decided to deface El Capitan with a political message. They hung a giant American flag upside down — a nautical symbol of distress — in protest of DOGE cuts to America’s national parks.

Finally, late last month, a group of transgender activists hung an obnoxiously large trans flag across the famous monolith. The flag was, according to the activists, 55’ by 35’. In other words, you couldn’t miss it. They were protesting rollbacks in “trans rights” — i.e., executive orders restoring common sense, military readiness, and protections for women and children.

An activist climber and drag queen named Wyn Wylie, a.k.a. “Pattie Gonia” — you may remember him from his 2023 North Face ad — apparently helped hang the flag. He told reporters: “We flew the Trans Pride flag in Yosemite to make a statement: Trans people are natural and Trans people are loved. Let this flag fly higher than hate. We are done being polite about trans people’s existence. Call it a protest, call it a celebration — either way, it’s giving elevation to liberation.”

While the very notion that they aren’t permitted to “exist” has always been a silly one, the claim that they have been “polite” is revisionist and laughable.
