Biden Accidentally Exposes Himself

Biden needs to say off the stages and podiums.

CHICAGO, IL — Former President Joe Biden raised new concerns about his mental fitness Thursday night after delivering a visibly slurred and meandering speech at the National Bar Association’s 100th Anniversary Gala. The speech came just hours after one of his top aides was grilled by House Republicans over Biden’s cognitive state and actions during his final year in office.

In front of a crowd of left-leaning legal elites, Biden attempted to highlight his record on judicial appointments, including Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson—the first Black woman to serve on the nation’s highest court. But the former president repeatedly slurred his words and lost his train of thought while recalling his time with former President Barack Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“I kept my promise,” Biden mumbled, “I appointed the most… demographically diverse… judges in history.”

Biden bragged that his administration appointed 13 Black women to federal appeals courts—“more than all other presidents combined”—while also celebrating appointments of Hispanic, Asian, and Muslim judges.

Critics argue Biden’s focus on identity politics reflects the core problem with his presidency: prioritizing box-checking over merit and qualifications. Many conservative observers noted that while Biden praised “diversity,” he made no mention of legal excellence, constitutional fidelity, or experience.

Aide Admits Potential $8M Windfall if Biden Had Stayed in Office

Adding to the controversy, longtime Biden confidant Michael Donilon testified earlier that day before the House Oversight Committee, revealing under oath that he could have personally earned up to $8 million if Biden had won re-election in 2024. That revelation, first reported by Axios, sparked further scrutiny into the financial motivations surrounding Biden’s final year in office.

Republican Investigations Into Biden’s Fitness Accelerate

Biden’s shaky appearance only fueled growing demands for answers from Capitol Hill. Multiple GOP-led investigations are underway, focusing on Biden’s declining mental health and whether key executive decisions were made without proper oversight—or even by someone other than Biden himself.

The catalyst for these probes was Biden’s disastrous June 2024 debate against President Donald Trump, where millions watched as Biden struggled to speak, lost track of questions, and appeared confused on live television. That moment ignited a firestorm, with top Democrats quietly urging him to exit the race soon afterward.

Several best-selling political books released in 2025 have since detailed the chaos inside the White House, alleging that staff often shielded Biden from public view and possibly made decisions on his behalf.

Elite Audience Cheers While Nation Watches in Concern

The audience at Thursday’s gala, including left-wing figures like MSNBC’s Joy-Ann Reid, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), and New York Attorney General Letitia James, applauded Biden’s remarks despite his noticeable verbal stumbles. But for many Americans watching clips online, the performance only raised more doubts.

The National Bar Association, originally founded after Black lawyers were barred from the American Bar Association, now boasts more than 60,000 members and often aligns with liberal legal causes.

Meanwhile, questions continue to swirl: Was Biden truly in charge during his final year? Or was the presidency quietly run by unelected insiders behind the scenes?

As investigations continue and the 2024 election fallout unfolds, one thing is clear — the Biden administration’s legacy is under intense scrutiny, and Americans are still searching for answers.
