Investigation Into Biden Admin Releases Results
If Democrats had their way, President Joe Biden would still be sitting in the Oval Office — at least in theory. In reality, Biden’s presidency had long since become a symbolic front, with the real levers of power seemingly managed behind the scenes by an unelected circle of aides, advisors, and bureaucrats. The illusion held for years — until it didn’t.
For the better part of his presidency, anyone who dared suggest Biden was experiencing cognitive decline was met with scorn. Dismissive labels like “cheap fakes” were thrown at videos showing him confused, wandering aimlessly, or fumbling basic interactions. Prominent Democrats and media allies insisted he was “sharp as a tack,” brushing off all concerns as partisan smears.

But the June 2024 debate shattered that narrative. Live and unfiltered, the American public saw what the carefully curated White House appearances had masked. The denials, the downplaying, the excuses — all lost their potency in the face of undeniable evidence.
Now, newly uncovered documents from the National Archives provide even more insight into how deeply choreographed Biden’s public appearances truly were. Fox News Digital obtained five “palm cards” — hand-sized note cards prepared by staff to guide the president through events. These weren’t your average talking points.
They included names, photographs, and basic identifiers of longtime allies such as Hillary Clinton and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. The implication? The President of the United States needed visual and written prompts to recognize individuals he had worked with for decades.
Four of the cards were formally stamped “PRESIDENT HAS SEEN,” suggesting these were not merely optional aides, but official tools to keep Biden on track. Another card detailed pre-submitted press questions from an ABC News reporter — a startling sign of media coordination. Critics have long claimed that the White House curated press events down to the last detail, but this revelation adds weight to those claims.
Taylor Rogers, Assistant Press Secretary under President Trump, didn’t mince words in her response. “President Trump gives unfettered access to the media and answers every question imaginable, without pre-screening the press questions or collecting reporters’ palm cards ahead of time like his incompetent predecessor,” she said. “Unlike Joe Biden, President Trump is actually running our country.”
The White House has yet to comment on the findings or clarify how often these palm cards were used, but the silence speaks volumes. Even among Democrats, the whispered questions have grown louder: Who was really governing?
