Jake Tapper's new book, "Original Sin," claims to expose how Democrats concealed President Biden's cognitive decline. Critics argue that Tapper, who previously downplayed concerns about Biden's mental state, is now engaging in gaslighting by framing the narrative as a revelation.

The decisions made in Washington indicate a clear intention to destabilize Ukraine further, leaving European allies in a precarious situation.
