The book alleges that Biden may not be fully capable of executing his presidential duties, a claim further fueled by revelations of his <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vitamin-k-for-the-two-biggest-mens-health-problems\/\" title=\"Vitamin K for the Two Biggest Men&#039;s Health Problems\">advanced prostate cancer<\/a> diagnosis<\/a>, which has metastasized. While this diagnosis has elicited sympathy, it raises questions about who truly has been in control during Biden&#8217;s presidency. The authors of the book describe a small group of influential figures, referred to as the &#8220;Politburo,&#8221; that has been steering the administration, which includes some of Biden&#8217;s family and long-standing political advisors.Concerns are expressed about Biden&#8217;s awareness of his administration&#8217;s inner workings and his apparent acceptance of a diminished role. Ultimately, the piece suggests that voters may feel betrayed, as Biden&#8217;s administration is portrayed as advancing a radical agenda rather than the moderate approach that many hoped for. The author concludes by lamenting the lack of accountability mechanisms for perceived failures in leadership.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>There is and was quite a bit wrong with everything about the administration of former President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>(It&rsquo;s literally almost impossible to cite just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-doj-reverses-biden-administrations-handcuffing-local-police-departments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one example<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>While disdain for Biden&rsquo;s inner circle has long been simmering for a litany of reasons, that frustration reached a fever pitch last week with the back-to-back bombshell revelations that Biden was stricken with an advanced prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones &mdash; typically terminal &mdash; and the release of &ldquo;Original Sin: President Biden&rsquo;s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,&rdquo; a damning book criticizing the controversial titular material.<\/p>\n<p>While the cancer diagnosis drew sympathy for Biden himself &mdash; even President Donald Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-makes-first-public-comments-bidens-cancer-proving-spectacular-class-act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">had nothing but glowing things<\/a> to say &mdash; the reveal also opened up an entire bait box of worms that &ldquo;Original Sin&rdquo; had already thrust to the forefront.<\/p>\n<p>Namely, as Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-issues-genuinely-shocking-message-joe-biden-extremely-kind-furious-handlers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">also alluded to<\/a>, if Biden were as incapacitated as &ldquo;Original Sin&rdquo; suggests and the cancer diagnosis reveals, who in the bloody heck was actually running this country during Biden&rsquo;s lone term as president?

That&rsquo;s the term we used in the book.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>This inner-inner circle was apparently made up of a number of longtime swamp creatures, like former White House chief of staff <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ron-klain-retweets-ridiculous-analysis-bidens-inflation-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ron Klain<\/a>, and also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judged-by-matt-walsh-ep-6-car-theft-and-a-cat-custody-battle\/\" title=\"Episode 6: Car Theft and Cat Custody Battle with Matt Walsh\">included family members<\/a>, like former first lady Jill Biden and embattled ex-first son Hunter.<\/p>\n<p>And last checked, not a single one of those names garnered a single electoral vote.

Discontent with Biden&#8217;s inner circle has been building for various reasons, but it escalated dramatically last week following two major revelations: Biden&#8217;s advanced prostate cancer diagnosis, which has spread to his bones and is typically terminal, and the release of &#8220;Original Sin: President Biden&#8217;s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,&#8221; a critical book addressing these controversies. While the cancer news elicited sympathy for Biden-even from former President Donald Trump-the situation also raised questions about who was truly in charge during his presidency if he was as incapacitated as suggested by &#8220;Original Sin.&#8221; The ongoing debate about whether someone other than Biden was operating the infamous autopen adds fuel to claims that his presidency may have been controlled by a shadowy group referred to as a &#8220;politburo.&#8221; This term describes a small circle of influential individuals within the administration who were allegedly making decisions behind the scenes. Notably, none of these individuals were elected officials. Although this raises serious concerns about accountability during his presidency, it&#8217;s important to acknowledge that no one deserves suffering due to health issues. However, past actions cannot be overlooked; many Americans feel betrayed by what they perceive as a departure from moderate governance towards an extreme left agenda under Biden&#8217;s leadership. As more troubling information emerges, it seems we may only be scratching the surface of deeper issues within his administration<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2439171,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Biden-and-Aides.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[3620,51418,50402,15240,5894],"class_list":["post-2439170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-biden","tag-governance-2","tag-leadership-2","tag-politburo","tag-politics"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Biden-and-Aides.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2439170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2439170"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2439170\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2439174,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2439170\/revisions\/2439174"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2439171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2439170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2439170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2439170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
