Leadership Matters: A Warning from the Biden Years

Alan Marley • May 21, 2025

Blunt but Measured


History has a way of catching up with us. As more clarity emerges about the inner workings of the Biden administration, one thing is becoming harder to ignore: the President’s diminished physical and cognitive capacity was more than a political talking point—it was a real concern, one that appears to have been privately acknowledged yet publicly dismissed by many close to the Oval Office.


From White House staff to cabinet members, media outlets, and even members of the President’s family, a wide array of individuals and institutions helped shape a narrative that concealed more than it revealed. Questions about Joe Biden’s ability to lead—once considered off-limits or conspiratorial—now seem painfully valid in hindsight. Those who voiced concerns early on, from across the political spectrum, were often gaslit, mocked, or written off. But their instincts weren’t wrong.


This isn't about partisan politics or scoring points. It's about something far more serious: governing in a world where our adversaries don’t care about our domestic drama—they only care about our weakness.

We live in a time when global powers like China and Russia are watching closely. They see division. They see dysfunction. And they see opportunity. America cannot afford leadership uncertainty or institutional dishonesty—not when the stakes include military deterrence, economic supremacy, and geopolitical balance.


There must be accountability—not to punish, but to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Whether it’s political operatives, cabinet secretaries, legacy media institutions, or staff who chose silence over truth, the American people deserve transparency. If those involved aren't prosecuted, they should at least be publicly held to account and removed from influence.


Leadership isn’t just about who’s elected—it’s about who is making the decisions behind the scenes. And if a shadow presidency was indeed running the show, the public deserves to know who they were and what their motivations were.



America is still the most powerful nation on Earth—but that status is not guaranteed. We must demand honest leadership, responsible stewardship, and the courage to confront uncomfortable truths. Not for the sake of politics—but for the future of the republic.
