President Joe Biden's handlers provided photos and instructions on how to enter and exit the venue stage during his fundraising events, Fox News reported. The cards even included instructions such as "Walk to podium" in large print.
The images were from a five-page document were leaked to Axios. They were part of a template used to prepare Biden for these types of events down to the most minute detail.
Some believe the images, which include the official White House logo, were part of an effort to help the 81-year-old conceal his deteriorating cognitive function. "I staffed a simple fundraiser at a private residence, but they treated it like it was a NATO summit with his movements," one informant who worked at an event in the previous year and a half told Axios.

The images from the president's briefing materials reveal just how much help Biden needed to carry out the simplest functions in the event spaces. He was provided with images labeled "View from podium" and "View from audience" to orient himself in the space.
While honest observers have sounded the alarm about Biden's cognitive decline for years, the establishment media only recently began to admit the truth. There was no denying it after his debate performance on June 27 against former President Donald Trump.
Still, the White House has attempted to explain away the proof of just how far gone Biden is in his mental function. Andrew Bates, White House senior deputy press secretary and deputy assistant to the president, responded with a statement to Fox News Digital that it is routine to hand these to officials.
"High levels of detail and precision are critical to presidential advance work – regardless of who is president – and these are basic approaches that are used by any modern advance team, including the Vice President’s office and agencies," Bates said. "And then-Vice President Biden’s team did the same, as did other principals, during the second term of the Obama-Biden Administration."
Kirsten Allen, communications director for Vice President Kamala Harris, similarly claimed there's nothing to see here. "These documents are standard logistical briefing materials and photos for any principal, including the Vice President," Allen said.
Still, it's clear Biden's aides were attempting to hide the severity of the president's mental deficiencies. This only worked so long because of his accomplices in the media. Of the myriad news outlets that likely knew the truth but hid it, none is so egregious as Morning Joe's Joe Scarborough, who said "this version of Biden" was the "best ever" in March, according to The Hill.
"He’s better than he has ever been, intellectually, analytically. F you if you can’t handle the truth," Scarborough said into the camera. "This version of Biden … is the best Biden ever."
Scarborough had a brief moment of sanity after the debate but soon doubled down on his endorsement of the president. He blamed the "media elites and billionaire donors" who want to replace him as the Democratic nominee, the Washington Examiner reported.
It's undeniable that Biden is in the throes of a cognitive breakdown. Continuing to cover for him is a threat to national security as America's enemies are watching.

Physicians who were threatened and abused by various tyrannical credentialing boards that sought to suppress anything but the official government story line about COVID-19 have been given the go-ahead by the courts to sue.
The case was brought by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons Education Foundation against the American Board of Internal Medicine, the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the American Board of Family Medicine and the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security over various situations in which those organizations threatened or actually acted against doctors because of what they said about COVID.
Their medical opinions essentially contradicted the government's talking points about taking various experimental shots, which evidence now shows have been extremely damaging to thousands of people.
The challenge focused on the coordinated campaigns to "censor and chill the speech of physicians," with special targeting of those who criticized the unfounded positions taken by White House adviser Anthony Fauci, lockdowns, masks and more.
A district judge had claimed that the AAPS "lacked standing," but a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit has reversed that dismissal.
It's headed back to the lower courts for discovery, and potentially a full trial.
A report in the Federalist documented the ruling.
"The AAPS Educational Foundation brought the case because of a series of physicians who were being threatened with loss of their board certification because they had made comments that were either critical of the COVID0 vaccines or that advocated for early treatment with repurposed drugs," explained AAPS chief Jane Orient.
"Particularly bad were the three defendants of the internal board who were also engaged in threatening physicians who supported the overturning of Roe v. Wade or had anything to say about abortion and its side effects."
The case also cited the egregious censorship schemes that were being developed by Homeland Security’s Disinformation Governance Board which, Orient explained, "was devoted to seeking out and finding ‘disinformation,’ ‘malinformation,’ and, or pressuring people, including those on specialty boards and social media companies, to take action."
Public outrage that the government would assemble such a force prompted that particular coalition to be disbanded, but that doesn't mean that scheme has been abandoned.
When physicians made public comments, press comments, testified in hearings – and their statements did not align with the Biden administration's political agenda – they were threatened with loss of their credentials, which in many cases could mean the loss of their income.
The power structure simply labeled, without evidence, dissenting opinions as "misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation," the case charged.
One facing punishment was Dr. Peter McCullough, a professor of medicine for decades, who was forced into independent practice over his views after those in "academic practice" refused to allow him free speech.
He questioned, during a state legislative hearing, the experimental shots, and the ABIM later adopted a rule about "misinformation" and retroactively applied it to him, the report said.
McCullough confirmed to The Federalist he provided documentation and evidence regarding his opinions on COVID, but the organization refused to accept it.
The power structure lined up against the dissenting doctors including those credentialing agencies as well as insurance companies that would refuse to provide compensation for treatment if the doctor's opinion differed from theirs.
Lawyer Andrew Schlafly, litigating for AAPS, said, "Viewpoint-based censorship of freedom of speech is one of the most important issues today, and essential to the future of both our country and the ability of patients to obtain quality medical care. It is vital that we restore freedom of speech and end improper interference with it. Physicians must be able to speak candidly about issues of public concern without fear of retaliation."

A new report from the Wall Street Journal has shown how insurance companies in the U.S. are taking advantage of loopholes and cashing in on Medicare for treatments that were never actually diagnosed or treated by a doctor.
According to the report, one patient was diagnosed with diabetic cataracts by a registered nurse, despite the fact she didn’t have diabetes, nor cloudy vision after she consulted with her own physician following the RN’s diagnosis.
After the WSJ analyzed billions of Medicare records, it was found that private insurers involved in the federal government’s Medicare Advantage program made thousands of suspicious diagnoses between 2018 and 2021 – that were all eligible for extra payments to insurance companies.
These included diseases such as AIDS, for which the report notes patients did not receive any type of follow-up care, as well as conditions the person could not possibly have. Oftentimes, the patient and their physician had no idea this was occurring.
Private insurers oversee Medicare benefits for Medicare Advantage – a $450 billion per year system – that was born from the notion that a more economical healthcare system could be delivered by private insurers.
The report points out that the program has ballooned by tens of billions of dollars per year in costs, namely because insurers can add a diagnosis to one submitted by the policy holder’s own physician to “catch conditions.”
The WSJ further notes their analysis found many of these added diagnoses included no treatment for patients, or they directly contradicted their physicians’ views. It was also found these new diagnoses were often made after an insurer had viewed medical charts, had used artificial intelligence, or sent registered nurses to visit a patient in his or her home.
In total, it was found that over $50 billion in diagnoses had been added solely by insurers between 2018 and 2021. Around 18,000 Medicare Advantage recipients had insurer-diagnoses of HIV – the precursor to AIDS – which adds $3,000 per year in additional payments to insurers, and less than 17% of these patients were on antiretroviral drugs.
UnitedHealth Group and another insurer, Humana, dispute these claims.
However, a recent report from the U.S. Office of the Inspector General found that insurance company Cigna intentionally made enrollees appear more sick to get additional funds from the federal government. As a result, Cigna was ordered to pay the government $172 million for overcharging Medicare and penalties for fraud.

Every day, prominent voices sound an ever-more-urgent alarm over the Biden administration's border policies and the multiple threats to the nation's security they are causing.
* In late June, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas concerned about the poor vetting procedures of Afghans by the Biden administration.
* Around the same time, U.S. officials claimed there was no imminent threat to the homeland from eight men from Tajikistan residing in Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia, even though sources said the individuals have ties to ISIS.
* Earlier in June, the Daily Caller reported that a Chinese government agent ran a private social network to provide thousands of illegal immigrants with resources to enter the U.S. and evade authorities at the border.
* And in May, a pair of Jordanian nationals were arrested for attempting to ram their way into Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia with a box truck. One of the two had recently been screened by the Border Patrol, but was subsequently allowed into the U.S. with no restrictions anyway.
But for global security expert and Army veteran Ben Varlese, the Jordanians' attempted terror attack "was nothing more than a test run."
WND spoke in-depth with Varlese, a former Army Mountain Infantry Platoon Sergeant who served in domestic and overseas roles from 2001-2018, including as a sniper section leader. Since 2018, Varlese has also provided security consulting services for public and private sectors, including tactical training, physical and information security, executive protection, protective intelligence, risk management, insider threat mitigation and anti-terrorism.
"There have been several incidents in previous months," Varlese told WND, "that serve to highlight the continued national security threat presented by this administration's encouraged flood of illegal aliens over the last three and a half years."
The number of people entering the U.S. illegally is concerning beyond explanation, said Varlese. "At least 8 million illegal aliens from over 100 countries have crossed the southern border in the last three-and-a-half years," he noted, adding that "almost all have been released and even transported to 48 states by the DHS or various non-governmental organizations."
What about security vetting?
"Almost none have been properly vetted," Varlese told WND, including many thousands of individuals from "hostile or terror haven countries" like Afghanistan, Venezuela, Syria and China. He also pointed out, chillingly, that, "Most of the illegals that have flooded the southern border since … Biden undid all of President Trump's border policies are military-age males."
Although "most are likely here for economic reasons," he said, "there are undoubtedly a significant number of bad actors that have been given a free pass to create sleeper cells in almost every American urban area."
Example: "Because there are tens of thousands of Chinese nationals, hundreds on the terror watch list, and millions of unvetted individuals scattered across the country," warns Varlese, "it is not a question of if something bad will happen, but when."
Moreover, adds Varlese, "The Biden regime welcomed this disaster."
He pointed to a brand-new threat with great terror potential: "This threat will only be exacerbated if [Biden] allows unrestricted access to so-called Palestinian refugees, who, let us not forget, celebrated the wanton murder of innocents on Sept. 11, 2001 and Oct. 7, 2023."
Apart from the Islamist threat, Varlese told WND that the Chinese communist regime poses a nearly equal threat.
"In recent years," he said, "there have been an unusual number of physical infrastructure and agricultural – food processing plants, stockyards and herd/flock deaths 'attacks' or curious circumstances connected to U.S. logistics and supply chains that have already been strained from tyrannical COVID-19 lockdowns in years past."
"As a result of the illegal immigration crisis," he warned, "the threat of sabotage – physical or digital – from Chinese interests is exponentially compounded because of the illegal immigration crisis."
"Similarly," Varlese told WND, "individuals from Iran and Venezuela, as well as other bad actors connected to the Taliban, Al-Qaida and Da’esh (Islamic State/ISIS) have infiltrated the U.S. and could cause no end of havoc domestically."
Whatever the stated altruistic motives of the Biden regime, said Varlese, in reality "they're inviting disaster."

As Democrats continue to panic over who will be their 2024 presidential nominee due to Joe Biden's poor cognitive health, a parody video titled "Walk Like a Joe Biden," is resurfacing and making the rounds online.
The song, originally debuting last year on "Louder With Crowder," is a spoof of the smash 1980s pop hit "Walk Like an Egyptian" by the Bangles, who do not appear in the recent lampoon, despite prominent look-alikes.
The parody lyrics state:
The American president is doomed/
The little old man can barely move/
If he moves too quick/
Oh whey oh/
He'll topple just like a domino/
He's got that sinister smile/
And thinks he just might win the bet/
But he's just hanging on/
Oh whey oh/
Dangling like Hunter's cigarette/
Hunter types with their hookah pipes say/
Whey oh, whey oh, oh whey oh/
Walk like a Joe Biden/
And when he boards Air Force One/
He spins around and he hits the floor/
He's got the moves/
Oh whey oh/
He hits the deck, then he hits some more/
All the Dems are so sick of Joe/
They really would like to see him end/
He sh** his pants/
Oh whey oh/
When he went to the Vatican/
All the kids in the DNC say/
Whey oh, whey oh, oh whey oh/
Slide your feet up the street, hump your back/
Stiffen your arms, don't pull 'em back/
Life's hard you know/
Oh whey oh/
When entering sun the Cadillac/
If you wanna know where it stops/
It ends in dementia and the cops/
They sing and dance/
Oh whey oh/
When finding the confidential docs/
Then they arrest all his men/
While Putin laughs in the Kremlin/
And the Chinese know/
Oh whey oh/
He's owned by them and Ukrainians/
All the cops in the DOJ say/
Whey oh, whey oh, oh whey oh/
Walk like a Joe Biden/
Some online reaction includes:
"I swear I laughed so hard I was crying and I still have a gut ache lol, Damn good job, you all nailed it."
"This video deserves an Academy Award."
"You convey the incompetence and allude to the corruption. This is a masterpiece."
"Simply lovely parody, it's a shame it so accurately depicts the physical state of our corrupt and demented figurehead of a president. It's not going to get any better."
"Notice that when he turns around to shake hands the Invisible Man left already! "
"I grew up in the 80s and this parody ROCKS! You nailed it to the 'T' of how things are now!"
"Good stuff but the lyrics should have been 'Way old, way old.'"
"This is EPIC ... LOL ... Didn't make it 20 seconds and I was laughing so hard I had to restart it."
"That shuffle he does will come in handy when he's wearing leg irons."
"The most beautiful song I've ever heard."
"I'm a Democrat and I approve this message."
"You know, it's hard for a mummy to become a comic but Joe Biden has somehow managed it."
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) sent a letter to White House Physician Kevin O’Connor on Sunday, demanding that he testify before the committee about President Joe Biden's "declining mental state" along with O'Connor's alleged involvement in Biden family business dealings.
O'Connor is "in a position to provide accurate and independent reviews of the President’s fitness to serve," Comer wrote.
In particular, Comer wants to find out whether O'Connor's medical assessments of Biden were influenced by his involvement in the family's business, such as consulting with James Biden about Americore.
"After a concerning debate performance by President Biden against former President Donald Trump on June 27, journalists have rushed to report on what Americans have seen plainly for years: the President appears unwell," Comer wrote.
Comer questioned O'Connor's most recent report on Biden, characterizing him as "a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old-male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency."
O'Connor notably did not recommend or administer a cognitive test to Biden at any point during the 2020 presidential campaign or his time in office so far.
Biden performed poorly during the CNN televised presidential debate on June 27, leading to fresh questions about his mental acuity.
He and his campaign have tried to brush it off as a "bad night" exacerbated by a common cold, but many Democrats are now questioning in the media and reportedly behind closed doors whether to replace Biden as the 2024 nominee.
James Biden testified to the committee earlier this year that O'Connor "provided him counsel in connection with the alleged work he was performing for Americore."
If O'Connor stood to benefit financially from Biden remaining in office, it's possible that he would report that Biden was functioning well when he actually wasn't.
Comer has previously accused Biden of cashing in on his name and position to enrich himself and his family during his time as vice president under Barack Obama, and in the years between his tenure as vice president and president.
Numerous financial records point to tens of millions of dollars in payoffs of Biden family members, and former Hunter Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski claimed that Biden, called "the big guy," was getting a cut of the payments.
The investigation into Biden by the Oversight Committee has seemed to bog down in recent months with the investigation ongoing but little action being taken.
There is also an impeachment inquiry into Biden, but that has not really gone anywhere either.
The last few weeks have witnessed a media firestorm of questions about President Joe Biden's cognitive state, with many now wondering about the extent to which his appearances in recent years have been carefully stage-managed and scripted.
Amid those concerns, Andrea Lawful-Sanders, a Philadelphia radio host who recently interviewed Biden, came forward and admitted that the queries she posed to the president were taken directly from a list provided to her by the White House, as Breitbart reports.
The radio personality's disclosure came during an appearance on CNN's First of All during which she discussed her conversation with the president on her show, The Source, on WURD.
CNN host Victor Blackwell inquired about Lawful-Sanders' experience with the president and his handlers, wondering about how she put together the segment that ultimately aired.
Referencing her chat with Biden and that of another radio host, Blackwell said, “Andrea, let me ask you here about your interviews and something -- I listened to both of them, and there's something that's similar here, you each were -- you asked four questions, and maybe that's what you were allowed to ask by the campaign or the White House.”
“But they were essentially the same questions, both interviews, about accomplishments, progress in your respective state, what's at stake in the election, what he has to say about his debate performance, and what he would say to voters who think their vote doesn't matter, or might sit this election out,” he went on.
Then Blackwell posed the question to which everyone wanted an answer, saying, “Were those questions given to you by the White Houses or did you have – or the campaign or did you have to submit questions ahead of this interview?”
Answering that question directly, Lawful-Sanders replied, “The questions were sent to me for approval. I approved them.”
She was then asked to verify that the White House provided questions to the host in advance of her discussion with the president.
“Yes. And I got several questions, eight of them, and the four that were chosen were the ones I approved,” she added.
Reacting to that admission, Blackwell said, “Okay. And the reason I ask is not a criticism...it's just that if the White House is trying not to prove the vim, vigor, acuity of the president, I don't know how they do that by sending questions first before the interview so that the president knows what's coming.”
As ABC News subsequently noted that it was not just Lawful-Sanders who received pre-written questions from the White House before interviewing Biden, as Wisconsin radio personality Earl Ingram reported a similar experience.
“Yes, I was given some questions for Biden,” he stated. “I didn't get a chance to ask him all the things I wanted to ask.”
A Biden campaign spokesperson insisted that it is not “uncommon” for interviewees to suggest preferred topics in advance of a discussion and said the hosts remained free to ask whatever they liked, but whether Lawful-Sanders and Ingram felt that way at the time is another matter altogether.
There's been an intense new focus on President Joe Biden's cognitive health in the wake of his disastrous debate with former President Donald Trump.
While many of us have known for years that Biden has shown a sharp decrease in cognitive function -- because we have eyes and ears -- many are just now starting to wonder what's going on with the 81-year-old president.
According to a bombshell report, the president's physician has met with a leading expert in Parkinson's disease at the White House on multiple occasions.
The New York Post noted that top Washington D.C. neurologist Dr. Kevin Cannard, met with Biden's doctors earlier this year at the White House.
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), a physician and former doctor to several presidents, confirmed that since Dr.Kevin O’Connor is Biden's primary physician at the White House, his meeting with the Parkinson's specialist was almost certainly about the president.
"It’s highly likely they were talking about Biden," Jackson told the outlet.
HAPPENING NOW: President Biden arrives back at the White House.
I tried to ask why a Parkinson’s disease specialist visited the White House and if there are concerns that he may have Parkinson’s.
He still has not answered unscripted questions from the press. pic.twitter.com/Tl3xKs2FDs

The NY Post noted:
Since 2012, he has served as the “neurology specialist supporting the White House Medical Unit,” according to his LinkedIn.
His most recent paper was published in August 2023 in the journal Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, and focuses on the “early-stage” of the crippling disease.
Jackson, like many others, is convinced that Biden undoubtedly has a medical condition that's responsible for his extremely obvious cognitive decline, and insists that Jill Biden and others in the White House are actively covering it up, or trying to.
"I believe he and Jill Biden have led the cover up. Kevin O’Connor is like a son to Jill Biden — she loves him. It’s crazy. Kevin O’Connor was in that job on day one of the Biden administration because they knew they could trust Kevin to say and do anything that needed to be said or done and cover up whatever needed to be covered up. He is part of the Biden family," Jackson said.
Many have speculated that Biden has something serious going on, but Dr. Rob Howard, a professor of old age psychiatry at University College London, is convinced that the president could have early stages of Parkinson's.
"I am not saying its Parkinson’s disease, I am just pointing out that there are features to him that are consistent with Parkinson’s disease," Howard said.
The doctor pointed to a long list of symptoms that Biden has displayed that point to Parkinson's.
Whatever Biden has, it was on full display last month to his voters, most of whom have been gaslit by the media for several years and are just now learning that the elderly president is in really bad shape.
In the wake of President Joe Biden's embarrassing, disastrous debate with former President Donald Trump last month, the fallout for his campaign and the White House is growing by the day.
An unexpected but definitely unsurprising scandal to emerge since the debate involves a radio host who said she received pre-written questions to ask the president in a post-debate interview.
According to Fox News, Andrea Lawful-Sanders, host of “The Source” in Philadelphia, admitted during a CNN interview that Biden's team sent a pre-approved list of questions for her to ask.
The radio host said she "approved" of four of the questions.
Fox News explained what the questions involved:
The questions centered around Biden's accomplishments, debate performance, progress in both Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, what's at stake in the election, and what he would say to voters who are considering not voting in the presidential election.
The admission by the radio host ultimately led to her no longer having a job with WURD, a Philadelphia-based Black-owned radio station.
"On July 3, the first post-debate interview with President Joe Biden was arranged and negotiated independently by WURD Radio host Andrea Lawful-Sanders without knowledge, consultation or collaboration with WURD management," WURD president and CEO, Sara M. Lomax, said in a statement.
She emphasized that the station was not a "mouthpiece" for the Biden administration or any other campaign.
Lomax explained in the statement that the host and the company "mutually agreed" to part ways.
"The interview featured pre-determined questions provided by the White House, which violates our practice of remaining an independent media outlet accountable to our listeners. As a result, Ms. Lawful-Sanders and WURD Radio have mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately," the statement read.
Lawful-Sanders's situation wasn't the only one, as another radio host admitted shortly after that debacle that he, too, had received a pre-approved list of questions to ask the president.
Fox News noted:
Wisconsin radio station host Earl Ingram confirmed that he was given five questions to ask Biden during their recent chat and wasn’t able to get through all of them before the interview ended.
The White House defended the practice of sending the pre-approved questions.
However, the excuse was laughable, as the interviews were supposed to show concerned voters that Biden is able to take tough questions on the fly and prove he's not cognitively challenged. Oops.
This story was originally published by the WND News Center.
The Philadelphia radio host for whom the White House provided questions in advance of her interview with Joe Biden has been fired.
WURD Radio made the announcement Sunday concerning broadcaster Andrea Lawful-Sanders.
"The interview featured pre-determined questions provided by the White House, which violates our practice of remaining an independent media outlet accountable to our listeners. As a result, Ms. Lawful-Sanders and WURD Radio have mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately."
Lomax said WURD "remains an independent voice that our audience can trust will hold elected officials accountable. As Pennsylvania's only independent black-owned talk radio station, WURD Radio has cultivated that trust with our audience over our 20-year history.
"This is something we take very seriously. Agreeing to a pre-determined set of questions jeopardizes that trust and is not a practice that WURD Radio engages in or endorses as a matter of practice or official policy."
She continued, saying her station "is not a mouthpiece for the Biden or any other administration. Internally, we will commit to reviewing our policies, procedures, and practices to reinforce WURD's independence and trust with our listeners. But mainstream media should do its own introspection to explore how they have lost the trust of so many Americans, black Americans chief among them."
"Black media matters. As always, we will listen, dialogue and engage with our community, bringing credible information, experts and insights to address the needs, concerns and interests of our people. This is essential as black Philadelphians gear up to be a pivotal player in one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime."
In the pre-recorded interview that aired Thursday, Joe Biden famously told Lawful-Sanders he's proud to be the first black woman to serve with a black president.
"And by the way, I'm proud to be – as I've said – the first vice president – first black woman to serve with a black president," Biden said.
