With President Joe Biden soon to be out of politics for good, the tales of just how far gone he has been over the last four years are getting more and more disturbing. In mid-December, RedState shared a post-election report detailing his memory and sundowning issue. Of course, it's been known for years that Biden was facing serious cognitive decline. That it only became acceptable for major press outlets to discuss it in the last couple of months is an indictment of their credibility.

It's not just news outlets that are sharing scary stories about Biden, though. House Speaker Mike Johnson recently sat down for an interview and described a wild meeting with the outgoing president. 

JOHNSON: In some ways, I actually kind of feel sorry for Joe Biden. He's in the twilight years of his life. He has not, obviously, been in charge for some time, and I know this by personal observation, and now the whole world knows it, and it's been very concerning to me over the last, you know, year-and-a-half since I've held this position. 

REPORTER: Can you tell us a story when you say personal observation? What kind of thing did you see? 

Johnson then begins to recount the struggle he had trying to schedule a meeting with Biden over serious national security concerns. For months, the White House kept saying the president didn't have time, which made no sense given he has spent nearly 40 percent of his entire term on vacation. 

JOHNSON: They wouldn't let me meet with him, and his staff kept giving me excuses. This went on for like eight or nine weeks, "I'm sorry Mr. Speaker, he doesn't have time." What are you talking about? I'm second in line to the presidency, he has time. I need to talk to him. We had, I can't say the classified parts, but we had some big national concerns at the time that I was losing sleep over. Finally, I just went to the whole press corps and said the president is not being allowed to meet with the speaker so they start putting pressure on him. 

Long story short, they finally relented, they invited me to the White House, I show up and I realize it's actually an ambush because it's not just me and the president. It's actually Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem, the CIA Director, and everybody, and then so I walk into the Oval, and I say, "Ah, I know what this is. They're going to hotbox the Speaker on Ukraine funding." That's what it was. 

This is probably the third week of January. We sit down, we're in the midst of it and I'm saying, "We don't need to have this conversation." The president reaches over, just like this, we were sitting right next to the fireplace in the Oval, and he says, "The Speaker and I just need a couple minutes together. We y'all just leave us alone?" And I looked up on the faces of some of staff standing around the wall, and they were like, "No, he did it." 

He called it, he's the commander in chief, so everybody leaves, and he and I are standing awkwardly in the middle of the Oval Office right over the rug by that coffee table, and I said, "Mr. President, thanks for the moments, you know, this is very important, I've got some big national security things I need to talk to you about that I've heard, and I think you know, but first, real quickly, Mr. President, can I ask you a question?"

"I can't answer this for my constituents in Louisiana. Sir, why did you pause LNG exports? Liquified natural gas is in great demand by our allies, why would you do that? Cause you understand, we just talked about Ukraine, you understand you're fueling Putin's war machine?"  And he looked at me, stunned, and he said, "I didn't do that." And I said, "Mr. President, yes you did, it was an executive order like three weeks ago." He said, "No, I didn't do that," he was arguing with me. 

That's where things get even crazier. Biden went on to admit he signed an executive order, but he told Johnson that believed he had only authorized a study on the effects of LNG. 

JOHNSON: I said, "No you're not sir, you paused it, I have the terminal, the export terminal in our state, I talked to those people this morning. This is doing massive damage to our economy, to our national security."

I thought, "We are in serious trouble." Who's running the country?" I don't know who put the paper in front of him, but he didn't know.

In other words, someone had used subterfuge to get the President of the United States to sign an executive order he didn't even know he was signing. Those around him were weaponizing his senility to push through their far-left agenda, and Biden wasn't even sentient enough to notice. That is the very definition of shocking. 

The responsibility for that rests on Biden's shoulders given he chose to not resign despite his decline, but it also makes clear why those around the president never pushed for him to step aside. These shadowy officials had free rein to run the country as they saw fit without ever having to win a single election. Biden was just a puppet, mindlessly signing his name to whatever they told him to. That is the biggest scandal in presidential history. A soft coup was committed by White House staffers.
