Bari, First thank you for the opportunity to submit a question for Honestly, here is my question.

It has been said the job of Vice President is to inquire as to the health of the President on a periodic basis, so why as the President became more and more isolated by his staff and unavailable to Cabinet secretaries why do the Original Sins authors think she did not fulfill her duty under the 25th Amendment?

There seems to be a conspiracy of silence surrounding President Biden’s cognitive decline. Key Democratic leaders—Vice President Kamala Harris, President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Senator Schumer, Rep Clayton are not being mentioned or interviewed by the press. . They surely would have been aware of his condition. Why the silence?

Should Kamala Harris, Chuck Shummer, Rep Clayton and Nancy Pelosi be barred from running for political office.? President Obama should also be publically shamed.

You asked for questions for Tapper and Thompson on their book on Biden. The book says almost nothing about the disastrous pullout from Afghanistan. Would be of interest to know whether this was due to a faulty assessment of the capabilities of the Afghan army, or did Biden either ignore or was incapable of understanding the intelligence.

This is the Left. They celebrate Luigi Mangione. They celebrate taking 1300 innocent lives at a rock concert. They defend illegals who kill Americans. They dance and sing about abortions. It's a hideous look, but they own it. And you do too if you defend being on the Left. You know who isn't killing young Jewish lovers, businessmen, and children at their most vulnerable? The Right. But next week we'll see another article in TFP about far-right antisemites. I know you have looked at Milgrim's and Lischinsky's faces. Now tell me they were any less innocent than every baby thrown away because it was inconvenient. The Left is a culture of death dressed-up as diversity and openness. Time to leave the Left, @bari.

This is not a question. It’s an observation and I find it troubling in the extreme. Tapper was absolutely complicit in the cover up that he, pearls firmly clutched, “reports” on in his book. While there are no doubt some important revelations in this book, I find it nearly impossible to reconcile with Tapper’s behavior up to this point. That, along with the fact that he is currently making the rounds to promote this book, leaves me disgusted and ready to declare the death of our Fourth Estate and its intended role in society. This damning expose will have zero impact on the legacy media at large. No lessons will be learned. They will double down on there TDS, and Tapper will lament with false humility that he might have fucked up, but he really didn’t know because he was being lied to. Well, no shit. But he sure as hell didn’t exercise any journalistic curiosity or he would have seen what we were all seeing from the beginning. I for one am not interested in supporting his attempt at making fools of everyone while he profits from it.

"You know one person who wasn’t surprised by any of this? Former Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips, who effectively ended his political career to mount a hopeless primary challenge against Biden in 2024."

Actually Bari, no one was surprised by "any of this." It's just that leftist Democrats tried to gaslight the whole country that Joe Biden was just a little old. Shame on the Dems and shame on the media. We all knew. Some pretended not to.

Ask Tapper to name the source and the reason that the legacy media, as one person, created the lie.

Please ask why a seasoned reported failed to even examine or report on what we all so obviously observed. Why the book now and not an in depth investigation during the Biden years. At this point it looks like it it was all about furthering agenda or future profit

Ask him why he isn’t investigating who was actually running the country during the Biden administration. Not that anyone should be surprised as to what damage the Biden administration did to our country. It was EXACTLY what the Democrats said they were going to do at the Democratic convention in 2020 when the Democratic Party wholeheartedly embraced the Bernie Sanders platform. Jake Tapper was complicit in lying and misleading voters about Biden and about Trump and helping skew the election but this country got exactly what was promised. Please , Bari, don’t let him off the hook for his own lies and purposeful obfuscation of the truth.

An extension of the Biden cover up was the MSM's coverage of Kamala during the campaign. No one is talking about how the MSM, and Jake Tapper, portrayed her as the Second Coming while validating the lawsuits and assassination attempts against Trump. The end of democracy and Hitler talk was a turn off for me (and I voted for Biden in 2020), especially when the DNC did not allow for a primary--and hasn't allowed for a real primary for years.

And perhaps while resting and enjoying a cookout, reflect on all the military men and women who have sacrificed life for their countries.

Bari, please ask Tapper why we should believe him now? I would never read his book. He has no credibility. He is not a reporter, he is a propagandist.

Bari, it seems there is an open secret as to the members of the "White House Mafia." It would be great if you could get Tapper to break his code of silence, his "omerta." But??? The consequences?

Bari, you're a classier and more gracious journalist than I would ever be. I know you would never ask this, but to get it off my chest, my question for Tapper et al. would be "Where did you two tools get the chutzpah to write a book about a cover up that you were complicit in?"
