Fox News' Peter Doocy set the record straight about his coverage of former President Joe Biden's mental decline, Fox News reported. While other leftist news outlets ignored the warning signs, Doocy held Biden's feet to the fire, and he has the receipts to prove it.
During his presidency, it was taboo to notice any of the apparent signs of aging in Biden. While the mainstream media ignored it, Doocy was not afraid to bring it up, and he reposted those instances in a thread on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday.
"I have some unique insight on President Biden, having dedicated six years of my life to covering him. If you are wondering why nobody asked about his mental fitness, and why nobody asked if White House staffers were covering up his decline… then you weren’t paying attention. Here are 7 times I did just that," Doocy promised.

One of the many instances that made Biden's mental deficits clear came after Special Counsel Robert Hur interviewed the then-president about mishandling classified documents. Hur decided not to prosecute Biden because he would be seen as a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" by the public.
This was problematic because it occurred while Biden was supposed to be the leader of the free world. Doocy brought up the comment and asked Biden about it in one of the quintessential exchanges about his mental acuity.
"I'm well-meaning and I'm an elderly man and I know what the hell I'm doing. I'm the president; I put this country back on its feet," Biden claimed. "I don't need his recommendation," he added.
Biden's speech sounded slightly slurred, but he managed to get the statement out in a way that was forceful. Rather than letting it deter him, Doocy saw it as an opportunity to press Biden about his memory and whether it would impede his ability to serve.
In his usual way, Biden got snippy and took a shot at the Fox News correspondent. "My memory is so bad, I let you speak," Biden sniped.
When Doocy wasn't personally confronting Biden, he would interrogate then-White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. One of those confrontations specifically involved questions about Biden's mental and physical health.
The questioning came after the disastrous debate performance that ultimately forced Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race. Doocy asked Jean-Pierre about the White House's unwillingness to give Biden a proper cognitive evaluation.
"And are you guys just not — since February, testing President Biden for Parkinson's or for dementia because, if he gets a bad result, it's all over that day?" Doocy asked Jeanne-Pierre. The press secretary tried to skirt the issue by claiming Biden had a "comprehensive" exam.
Doocy pressed on, noting that if his wife had seen him "on TV misspeaking or saying the wrong thing or seeing a change in my appearance, she would probably say, 'Let's go to a doctor just to make sure that you are okay,'" Doocy said. "You have a family. You have an important job. Why doesn't anybody in the President's family urge him just to go to get checked out to say the coast is clear?" Doocy said.
Nobody got an answer to these questions, including Doocy, until well after the time when the truth mattered. The leftist media is now trying to say there was a cover-up they were unaware of, but Doocy's dogged pursuit of the truth at the time gives lie to them all.
Rep. James Comer (R-KY) believes Attorney General Pam Bondi should work to put members of the Biden family behind bars, Breitbart reported. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform chairman said that he lacks prosecutorial powers that the Department of Justice could use.
Comer made these remarks on the "Alex Marlow Show" podcast on Wednesday. He told the Breitbart editor-in-chief of his wish to bring former President Joe Biden and his allegedly corrupt family members to justice.
"I can’t prosecute. If I could prosecute, there would be Biden family members in prison now. There would be deep state actors in prison now. I can’t prosecute. I can only investigate. But Pam Bondi can prosecute, the Department of Justice can prosecute. So, we want to work with them," Comer said.
Comer has been beating the drum against the Biden family and urged President Donald Trump's Justice Department to dig into the outgoing president's family members. In particular, he wants James Biden, Joe Biden's brother, to answer for allegedly lying to Congress.
In a letter to Bondi on Jan. 17, 2025, Comer urged her to prosecute James Biden, according to the committee's news release. "On December 1, 2024, President Joseph R. Biden Jr. issued a written statement announcing ‘A Full and Unconditional Pardon’ for his son, Robert Hunter Biden," Comer wrote.
He claimed James Biden was "Hunter Biden’s main accomplice in his influence peddling schemes (aside from Joe Biden himself)" and that he was alleged to have "misled Congress regarding Joe Biden’s participation in his family’s influence peddling and deserving of prosecution under federal law." The matter was referred for prosecution by three Congressional committees.
However, Joe Biden's administration refused to act. "Though President Biden’s saccharine (and wholly ironic) rantings of political persecution and weaponized prosecution of Hunter Biden are specious, they are inapplicable to the non-prosecution of his brother, James Biden, who has lied to the United States Congress and has faced no accountability to date," Comer continued.
"I write to encourage the Department under your leadership to hold James Biden accountable for lying to Congress to protect his brother, the soon-to-be-former President Biden. No one should be above the law, regardless of his last name," Comer wrote.
The Associated Press reported that in the final moments of Joe Biden's presidency, he preemptively pardoned his siblings and their spouses as Trump was giving his speech. This unprecedented move included James Biden, and Trump pointed out its absurdity.
"Did you know that Biden, while I was making my speech, pardoned his whole family? The brother — the whole deal was pardoned. Can you imagine that?" Trump said.
However, Reuters noted, this presidential pardon is not absolute and may work against Hunter Biden in the end. The Justice Department and the House of Representatives may still investigate the shady business dealings of the Biden family.
Moreover, Hunter Biden could be forced to testify. If the pardon grants him immunity, he wouldn't be able to plead the Fifth Amendment since nothing he said would be considered incriminating under the pardon.
There is enough evidence that the Biden family's dealings were amiss, to say the least, to continue with this investigation. Comer is right that this should proceed, and Bondi is more than capable of getting the job done.
After weeks of talks, the House passed the "big beautiful bill" that is at the center of the president's plan in a close vote just before 7 a.m.
Early in the morning on May 22, the House of Representatives passed a bill to carry out President Donald Trump's executive and economic agenda. This ended weeks of talks and uncertainty in the House Republican conference, as The Daily Caller reported.
The House barely passed the bill by a vote of 215-214, largely along party lines. The vote happened just before 7 a.m., after the lower house had been debating all night.
The bill is now on its way to the Senate, where changes are likely to be made. If there are any disagreements, they will have to be worked out in a meeting before going to Trump's desk.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) applauded the bill after it made it through the lower chamber of Congress, saying: “It’s a great day to be an American. It’s great to be a Republican.”
Johnson said he believes the law is a strong reflection of the conservative party's principles, including fiscal discipline, personal liberty, and limited government.
The speaker said that he had doubts about the party's ability to come together on the bill.
“I give glory to God,” he said. “There’s a lot of prayer that brought this together.”
Some Republicans were less than positive about the bill, however, and declined to support the legislation over spending concerns.
“It’s a debt bomb,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) told reporters about the recently passed legislation.
Two Republicans from Ohio, Massie and Warren Davidson, voted against the measure. The House Freedom Caucus chair, Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), did not cast a vote.
Those holdouts plus the close margins in the House caused the long-term debates over the bill.
Trump offered his thanks for the bill’s passage, calling the package “arguably the most significant piece of Legislation” in the country’s history.
“Now, it’s time for our friends in the United States Senate to get to work, and send this Bill to my desk AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!” he wrote on Truth Social.
House members finally returned to work at approximately 11:00 p.m. on Wednesday following a 21-hour hearing in the House Rules Committee. That marathon cleared the package for a vote on the floor.
In the evening of May 21, Republican leaders released an addition to the megabill that was made to address concerns from moderates and fiscal conservatives in the Republican conference.
A recent Senate report has raised questions about the transparency of the Biden administration's handling of COVID-19 vaccine side effects, sparking concerns among lawmakers and the public.
According to the Daily Wire, the report reveals that the administration was informed of side effects linked to the COVID-19 vaccines early in 2021, but the information was not shared with the public until months later.
The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations unveiled findings indicating that the administration knew by February 2021 about the potential risk of myocarditis and pericarditis associated with the COVID-19 vaccines. However, it wasn't until June of that year that these health risks were communicated to the public.
U.S. officials were reportedly warned about these concerns by CDC official Lauri Markowitz. According to the report, Markowitz communicated confidential details in late February 2021 regarding nearly 1,000 death reports following vaccination, noting cardiovascular causes in certain cases.
Additionally, Israeli health officials informed the CDC that they were observing a significant number of myocarditis cases following the administration of the Pfizer vaccine, underscoring the seriousness of the issue.
The delay in reporting these side effects has been attributed to concerns among U.S. officials about potential vaccine hesitancy that could have arisen had these risks been publicized promptly.
Sen. Ron Johnson, who chaired the committee behind the report, has been a vocal critic of the administration's handling of the issue. Johnson emphasized that health agencies had internally recognized a safety concern regarding myocarditis but opted not to make this information public at the time.
According to Johnson, "The federal government was very well aware of the myocarditis signal, particularly in young men, as early as February [2021]." He contended that the delay violated the principle of informed consent, which he views as inviolable.
Johnson also spotlighted the administration's efforts to distribute talking points that minimized these risks to major health officials, thereby underscoring what he describes as an intentional "cover-up."
Among the revelations, Johnson's report highlights that vital records and documents were withheld, delaying both public and congressional access to essential information. This lack of transparency reportedly persisted under the new administration.
The White House only revised COVID-19 vaccine labels to include myocarditis warnings in late June 2021. This revision was prompted by the increased attention the issue received, although stakeholders argue it came too late for those who could have benefited from the information earlier.
The report spans over 2,400 pages, with much of the documentation acquired via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. These documents articulate the nuanced exchanges and considerations within U.S. health agencies during the period in question.
The next steps involve a Senate hearing led by Johnson, where the findings of the report will be discussed further. Johnson aims to bring greater awareness and accountability to what he considers a significant breach of trust in public health communication.
Furthermore, Johnson has publicly criticized federal health agencies for their failure to ensure informed consent by not openly communicating potential risks to the public in a timely manner.
Melania Trump celebrated a major victory on Monday as she added her signature to the new revenge porn ban that she helped push through Congress.
The Take It Down Act makes it a federal crime to share intimate photos of someone without their consent, including digitally fabricated images, known as "deep fakes."
While her husband's signature made it law, Melania was invited by President Trump to sign the Take It Down Act in recognition of her efforts to get it passed.
“C’mon, sign it anyway,” the president told his wife. “She deserves to sign it,” he said.
The ban was a priority for Melania, who made it part of her campaign against online bullying and intimidation, #BeBest.
In March, Melania made a rare trip to the Capitol to lobby for the ban alongside revenge porn victims.
"It's heartbreaking to witness young teens, especially girls, grappling with the overwhelming challenges posed by malicious online content, like deepfakes," she said at the time.
She hailed the law as a "national victory" at the signing ceremony, where she spoke about the addictive harms of social media and AI and the potential for these tools to be "weaponized" against innocent women and children.
“This legislation is a powerful step forward in our efforts to ensure that every American, especially young people, can feel better protected from their image or identity being abused through nonconsensual intimate imagery (NCII),” she said.
“AI and social media are the digital candy for the next generation, sweet addictive and engineered to have an impact on the cognitive development of our children,” she said.
"But unlike sugar, these new technologies can be weaponized, shape beliefs and, sadly, affect emotions and even be deadly.”
The Take It Down Act passed Congress overwhelmingly, with every Senator voting yes and only two Republicans in the House voting no.
The law's few critics say it could open the door to censorship. But supporters argue the new regulations are needed in a fast-changing era of AI technology that has given powerful new tools to abusers and blackmailers.
As President Trump noted, "With the rise of AI image generation, countless women have been harassed with deep fakes and other explicit images distributed against their will. This is wrong and it’s just so horribly wrong. And it’s a very abusive situation, like in some cases people have never seen before, and today we’re making it totally illegal."
"Doctor" Jill Biden should face criminal charges for elder abuse, according to one Trump administration official.
Leo Terrell, a former Fox News contributor and current lawyer at the Justice Department's civil rights division, argued Jill Biden is guilty of "elder abuse" in the wake of her husband's shocking cancer diagnosis.
During Joe Biden's presidency, the former first lady was often accused by critics of exploiting her aging husband for her own selfish purposes.
Following her husband's pivotal debate performance on CNN last year, which effectively ended his political career in one stroke, she infamously told Biden that he "answered every question," as if he were a child.
Jill Biden is under more scrutiny than ever as her family's former media allies finally begin reporting critically on Joe Biden's cognitive decline, and the effort to conceal it.
Some have even suggested Jill Biden knew about or possibly overlooked her husband's prostate cancer in the pursuit of political power.
Terrell responded to a post on X that claimed Jill Biden "knew about President Biden’s health problems” but “still wanted him to run for President.”
“Elder abuse! Criminal charges??” Terrell wrote.
The initial outpouring of sympathy that followed from Biden's cancer announcement has been replaced by broad skepticism.
Many have questioned how the aggressive, stage four cancer was not caught earlier. Before his recent diagnosis, Biden's last known prostate cancer screening was in 2014, according to his office.
Some have wondered aloud if the Biden family withheld the diagnosis from the public or even timed the news strategically to quash the recent scrutiny of the former president.
As President Trump put it, "Somebody is not telling the facts.”
The speculation is not limited to Trump and his following. Democrat Dean Phillips, who challenged Biden in 2024, said the timing of the cancer news looks suspicious.
“I don’t think it’s coincidental that this was announced this week,” Phillips told The New York Times in an interview published Monday.
Biden's White House doctor, Kevin O'Connor, has also fallen under scrutiny for certifying that Biden was "fit for duty" as recently as last year.
The famously close-knit Biden family, meanwhile, continues to put on a united front.
“Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places," Biden wrote on X, quoting Ernest Hemingway.
"Thank you for lifting us up with love and support,” the post read.
The Supreme Court has ordered Maine's Democratic legislature to restore the voting rights of a Republican member who was punished for defending girls' sports.
Republican state legislator Laurel Libby was barred from speaking or voting on the House floor over a viral Facebook post.
"This is a victory not just for my constituents, but for the Constitution itself. The Supreme Court has affirmed what should never have been in question — that no state legislature has the power to silence an elected official simply for speaking truthfully about issues that matter," Libby said in a statement.
"This decision restores the voice of 9,000 Mainers who were wrongly silenced. I am grateful for the Court’s action, and I am ready to get back to work representing the people of House District 90."
The Supreme Court's 7-2 ruling came with no explanation, which is typical when the court rules on emergencies. Sonia Sotomayor would have denied the application for relief, and Ketanji Brown Jackson authored a brief dissent.
Jackson argued that the case does not qualify as a true emergency, but she acknowledged that it "raises many difficult questions" that could be resolved in Libby's favor eventually.
Two lower courts had ruled against Libby before she went to the Supreme Court and asked the justices to let her participate in the current legislative session, which ends in June. The Supreme Court's ruling allows her to vote again while a legal battle continues in the First Circuit Court of Appeals.
The controversy arose in February after Libby, a mom of five kids including three girls, shared a Facebook message criticizing the inclusion of males in girls' sports. The post included the name and photo of a male student who won a girls' high school pole vault competition.
Democrats accused Libby of endangering the student to advance an agenda, and she was censured for conduct "reprehensible and in direct violation of our code of ethics." Libby was blocked from voting until she apologized.
Libby then sued Democratic House Speaker Ryan Fecteau to restore her voting rights, saying the legislature had disenfranchised her 9,000 constituents by preventing her from speaking on a matter of public concern. She said the male student's name and face had already been widely publicized, and Democrats were retaliating against her for advocating on behalf of girls in the state.
Maine's stubborn transgender advocacy has led to clashes between Governor Janet Mills (D) and President Trump, who confronted Mills during a meeting of governors at the White House earlier this year. Trump's administration has sued Maine for violating Title IX, a civil rights law that bars sex-based discrimination.
The transgender issue has been cited as an example of cultural overreach by Democrats, who have struggled to find their footing since Trump's stunning re-election last year.
Indeed, some Democrats have begun to distance themselves from a cause that is now widely seen as detrimental to the party.
Rather than have an open debate, Democrats in Maine are clinging to their dogmas and silencing dissent - or at least trying to, anyway.

U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver, a Democrat, now is facing federal charges for assaulting, impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers over when she barged into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility without permission.
"Representative LaMonica McIver assaulted, impeded, and interfered with law enforcement in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 111 (a)(1)," explained Alina Habba, the acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey.
"That conduct cannot be overlooked by the chief federal law enforcement official in the State of New Jersey, and it is my Constitutional obligation to ensure that our federal law enforcement is protected when executing their duties."
A report at Fox News said McIver took to social media to claim she's in the right.
"Earlier this month, I joined my colleagues to inspect the treatment of ICE detainees at Delaney Hall in my district," McIver said. "We were fulfilling our lawful oversight responsibilities, as members of Congress have done many times before, and our visit should have been peaceful and short. Instead, ICE agents created an unnecessary and unsafe confrontation when they chose to arrest Mayor Baraka."
"That woman was out of control," said President Donald Trump Tuesday when asked about the arrest during a visit to Capitol Hill. "The days of that crap are over in the country. We're gonna have law and order."
Media personality Benny Johnson posted online video he said showed "clearly" that McIver was "verbally and physically assaulting federal agents in New Jersey after illegally entering an ICE detention facility. In the video you can see indisputable evidence of Congresswoman McIver (in the red jacket) punch, push and hit a federal agent, refusing to follow the ICE officers orders and impeding in a lawful arrest. In the body cam footage you can also watch Rep. McIver verbally threaten to 'put hands' on the federal agents. 'I touch whoever I want mother fu****!' Rep. McIver then threatens to destroy the ICE officers careers, 'You will pay!' before descending into a profanity-laced rampage tirade."
McIver claimed the charges are "purely political."
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem explained, "No one is above the law."
She said, "If any person, regardless of political party, influence or status, assaults a law enforcement officer as we witnessed Congresswoman McIver do, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
Fox reported McIver faces several felonies and now must turn herself in.
Habba also confirmed charges against Baraka, who originally was arrested for trespassing, are being dismissed.
Baraka, McIver and Reps. Robert Menendez Jr., and Bonnie Watson Coleman, both Democrats, were outside the ICE facility last week "with a group of protesters when the gates opened to allow an ICE bus in. All four officials then allegedly rushed through the gates past security, according to officials from the Department of Homeland Security. "
"If it was a typical U.S. citizen, and they tried to storm into a detention facility that's housing dangerous criminals or any person at all, they would be arrested," federal officials said.

It turns out Ed Martin, the Justice Department's director of the Weaponization Working Group, before he left the office of interim U.S. attorney for D.C., had begun an investigation into the last-minute "autopen" pardons of then-President Joe Biden.
And now Martin is naming names and identifying people in the former administration who were presidential "gatekeepers."
On Tuesday, Martin talked to journalist Mark Halperin on the streaming show "2WAY Tonight."
Martin said the investigation had been underway for weeks and that as part of it, he has reached out to Biden family members. He also noted that some persons of interested have already begun to "lawyer up."
"I had a whistleblower in my office 10 day ago – senior, senior Democrat – saying, 'Look, it was these three people that controlled access, and they were making money off of it,'" Martin told Halperin. "I don't know if I believe it yet, but the point is, I think, we have to get to the bottom of it for the American people and to protect the process, and that's what we're doing."
Martin indicated that the whistleblower he spoke to was involved with the 2020 Biden campaign at the highest levels.
Though refusing to name the actual alleged exploiters in the autopen scandal, Martin provided Halperin with the names of "gatekeepers" who were "dominant characters in the White House."
As reported at The Blaze, Martin identified the following three "gatekeepers": Ron Klain, Biden's White House chief of staff from 2021 to 2023 who returned to the fold last year amid Biden's debate preparation; former senior Biden adviser Anita Dunn; and Barack Obama's former personal attorney Robert Bauer.
Martin also mentioned Steve Ricchetti, former counselor to Biden who previously served as chairman of his 2020 presidential campaign, and "obviously Jill [Biden]."
As WND reported, President Donald Trump on Tuesday vowed an investigation into the Biden administration's use of the autopen, the electronic presidential signature device, as he said, "This government was illegally run for four years."
As Trump appeared at the U.S. Capitol to rally support for his "big, beautiful bill" to lower taxes, Trump discussed at length the problems created by a mentally incapacitated Biden.
"We're gonna start looking into this whole thing with who signed this legislation," Trump said.
"Who signed legislation opening our border? I don't think he knew. I said there's nobody that could want an open border. Nobody. And now I find out that it wasn't him. He autopenned it.
"Who was operating the autopen? This is a very serious thing. We had a president that didn't sign anything and he autopenned almost everything."
Martin initially was Trump's nominee as the permanent D.C. U.S. attorney, but his name was pulled after opposition by Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of Oklahoma.
President Donald Trump's Department of Justice has opened a probe against New York City mayoral hopeful Andrew Cuomo, the Daily Wire reported. The investigation will determine whether he allegedly lied to Congress about his handling of COVID-19 while governor of New York.
Cuomo was eventually forced out of office over sexual misconduct allegations. However, that was after the then-governor made one of the deadliest decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As part of his COVID-19 response plan, Cuomo mandated that patients positive for the virus be admitted back into nursing homes. This may have resulted in thousands of needless deaths at these facilities.
When asked about it in front of Congress, Cuomo may have downplayed his role. "The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation of Andrew M. Cuomo, a front-runner in the New York City mayoral race, after Republicans accused him of lying to Congress about decisions he made during the coronavirus pandemic as governor," a source close to the matter shared.
In a June 2024 hearing, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) claimed there was "overwhelming evidence" that a 2020 audit underreported nursing home deaths from COVID-19 by 46%. Cuomo was involved in that audit and was governor at the time of the issue.
Moreover, Comer said that Cuomo made "criminally false statements" about the issue. Rich Azzopardi, a Cuomo spokesman, said that the GOP had cooked up the investigation since his client was the frontrunner for Democrats.
"We have never been informed of any such matter, so why would someone leak it now? The answer is obvious: This is lawfare and election interference, plain and simple — something President Trump and his top Department of Justice officials say they are against," Azzopradi claimed.
The spokesman added that Cuomo "testified truthfully to the best of his recollection about events from four years earlier, and he offered to address any follow-up questions from the subcommittee — but from the beginning this was all transparently political." However, as Fox News reported, the matter had been referred to the Department of Justice under then-President Joe Biden and ignored.
Cuomo made the decision to send patients infected COVID-19 back to nursing homes in an effort to alleviate hospital overcrowding. Instead, it became a way for the virus to spread like wildfire through the most vulnerable population.
A March 2022 report by the New York state comptroller said that the Health Department under Cuomo "was not transparent in its reporting of COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes" and "understated the number of deaths at nursing homes by as much as 50%" during some points of the pandemic. This tracks with Comer's findings as well.
Last month, Comer sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi asking for the case to be taken up again as "the Biden Administration ignored this referral despite clear facts and evidence." He urged Bondi to "take appropriate action" based on his referral and reiterated that request in a statement Monday.
"Andrew Cuomo is a man with a history of corruption and deceit, now caught red-handed lying to Congress during the Select Subcommittee’s investigation into the COVID-19 nursing home tragedy in New York. This wasn’t a slip-up – it was a calculated cover-up by a man seeking to shield himself from responsibility for the devastating loss of life in New York’s nursing homes," Comer said.
"Let’s be clear: lying to Congress is a federal crime. Mr. Cuomo must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The House Oversight Committee is prepared to fully cooperate with the Justice Department’s investigation into Andrew Cuomo’s actions and ensure he’s held to account," Comer demanded.
Of all the failures and injustices from politicians during the pandemic, Cuomo's was arguably the worst. He has yet to pay for that decision, but his time may have finally come.
