To the editor:

“Oh! What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive,” (Sir Walter Scott, 1808.) Many Democrats are still trying to deceive us about Joe Biden’s administration. For years we saw his mental and physical deterioration. Some Democrats are trying to profit by writing tell-all books, but others are still claiming that he was mentally fit.

Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson published a book apparently describing what actually happened. Karine Jean-Pierre, the worst press secretary in history, is promoting her book about the reasons she left the Democrat party. How many times did Jean-Pierre look into the camera and lie to us about Biden’s mental fitness? Recently, Bill Clinton claimed that Biden was mentally fit and a “good president.” Remember when Clinton looked straight into the camera, wagged his finger at us and proclaimed, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky?” Clinton lied then and he is still lying. Many more lied about Biden’s mental status, including Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Attorney General Merrick Garland, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Shumer and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Biden has “aggressive prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones.” Many doctors report that prostate cancer is slow-growing and takes years to metastasize. The prostate gland encircles the urethra. When the prostate gland enlarges, it causes urinary symptoms. Biden would have had those symptoms years ago and should have been evaluated for prostate cancer. Was he diagnosed and treated or were the symptoms ignored? Was he too mentally impaired to report his symptoms?

The use of the autopen to sign many documents, including the last-minute pardons, has been questioned. Who chose the people to be pardoned and used the autopen to sign the documents? Biden now claims that he approved all of those pardons. When Biden was interviewed about having classified documents scattered all over his house and garage, he did not remember the year that his son, Beau, died. A man who could not remember the year that his son died now remembers the names of all the people he pardoned?

FBI Director Kash Patel reported that he found a file with information that the Chinese Communist Party interfered with the 2020 election. This file contained fake driver’s licenses and fake mail-in ballots. This information was hidden by the Biden Justice Department.

There were enough fake materials to sway the election in many states. This is evidence of election manipulation.

The Jefferson County Democratic Party chairman recently wrote that President Donald Trump “confused world leaders and nods off in public settings.” I have seen Trump numerous times, live and recorded, in a variety of settings, including foreign countries. I have heard him answer endless questions from members of the media. I have never seen him “confuse world leaders or nod off in public settings.” Instead of making general statements with no evidence, I suggest that Democrats give a specific date, time and place when they witnessed these events. Truth or deception?
