A presidential health crisis that ultimately resulted in the first lady of the United States wielding extraordinary power while covering up the president’s condition began in Pueblo more than a century ago.
That crisis and the ensuing cover-up have similarities to today’s controversy regarding the physical and mental abilities of President Joe Biden.
President Woodrow Wilson was elected in 1912 largely due to the split within the Republican Party when former President Theodore Roosevelt ran on the Progressive Party ticket against Wilson and incumbent Republican President William Howard Taft. Narrowly reelected in 1916, Wilson was only the second Democrat to be elected since the Civil War. Although elected as a reformer, he segregated the federal workforce after decades of desegregation.
President Wilson’s first wife, Ellen, died in 1914 and he married Edith in 1915.

It has becoming increasingly clear Dr. Biden has played a major role in trying to conceal the decline of President Biden’s physical and mental abilities, which came to a head during his disastrous debate with former President Donald Trump on June 27. But she isn’t alone.
Ever since Biden was inaugurated in January 2021, national Democratic leaders have zealously defended President Biden’s faltering health and attacked critics as political cheap-shot artists. Dr. Biden embarrassed herself at a rally following the debate where she lauded the president for “answering every question” establishing a new low for evaluating a presidential debate performance.

Dr. Jill Biden’s impressive lifetime of accomplishment and service is being sullied by her refusal to accept the reality of the president’s mental and physical infirmities.
By allowing the president to continue running, she is failing her family, her Democratic Party and ultimately her nation.
Commentary:
Edith Wilson found herself in charted waters. No one knew how to handle an incapacitated president. With no rules, you couldn’t do it “right”, but you also couldn’t do it “wrong”. So she played president because no one said she couldn’t.
Since then, Congress created the 25th Amendment. To quote The Big Lebowski: “This is not ‘Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.” Jill Biden knowingly violated the Constitution. Unelected family members don’t get to play president. There is a “right” way to handle this situation, and (of course) the Bidens did it wrong.
This coul not have been done unless the DNC and unspoken leaders of the Democrat Party agreed and conspired to do this to America and it's citizens...
