The Issue: Mainstream media outlets beginning to report on President Biden’s cognitive decline.
Nobody, including the left-leaning media, “suddenly realized” that President Biden has suffered a disastrous decline in mental acuity (“Media suddenly realizes Biden is addled,” July 3).
They knew it all along and helped lead the charge to cover it up until it became too obvious.
Just imagine if Biden were a Republican: They would’ve hounded him out of office. But being a Democrat, Biden got a free pass and unwavering support, until it all collapsed like a house of cards.

The New York Times has brazenly bragged through the years with its catchy masthead that it runs “all the news that’s fit to print.”
However, in recent years, there has been at least one major exception to that journalistic slogan: That would, of course, be Biden’s greatly diminished mental capacities.
Finally, the Times decided that this was news fit to print after everyone became keenly aware of Biden’s increasingly declining faculties. Hardly a brave or prescient move.

The media have been in bed with the Democratic Party, covering up for this babbling fool of a president for more than four years.
Now, after the American people have seen with their own eyes how the debate went, there is no way for them to cover for this disaster of a presidency.

Many journalists made the recent discovery that President Biden has signs of cognitive decline.
Beginning during the 2020 election, it was obvious to those with eyes that then-candidate Biden was being hidden and protected.
Yet the media refused to investigate this or any further sheltering of Biden for four more years. The media must be held accountable for this malpractice.

I think most people paying attention knew Biden was not well.
The Democrats and progressives in the media hid it from the American people. Winning an election is more important to them then the well-being of America.
Let’s get Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on this. I’m sure he could come up with a few felony charges for true election interference.

The Issue: FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh’s scathing criticism over the FDNY’s male workforce.
As a former FDNY member, I know for a fact that most current members have little-to-no respect for FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh (“Commish’s ‘fire’ ire,” June 30).
It’s not because she’s a woman, but because she’s a leftist who doesn’t like the fact that the department is still mostly male. Her bending over backward in an attempt to kiss up to a fellow leftist and Trump-hater, Attorney General Letitia James, is no surprise.
Liberals used to advocate for free speech. However, now they only advocate for speech they agree with. Those who booed James had every right to, and this nothing-story should have been put to bed a while ago.

Laura Kavanagh has absolutely no right to be sitting in the seat of commissioner of the FDNY.
She has the appointment by way of our fool of a mayor. She has never been a firefighter; all she ever was a marathon runner, stair climber and political hack for former President Barack Obama.
It is a disgrace that this incompetent fool is commissioner over all the men who put their lives on the line every single day — of which she knows practically nothing about.
