Joe Thomas •   June 6, 2025

With all the “he-said-she-said” over President Joe Biden’s failing mind and the “politburo” (their word, not ours) that was making all the executive branch decisions in his stead, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia have been in the news lately. But what if we were actually able to take a giant leap forward in curing the Alzheimer’s scourge that leaves 7 million Americans alive but without the memories of who they are?

What about the 8 million caregivers who spend day and night caring for a loved one who doesn’t remember who they are?

What about the economic impact to our nation that affects all of us? Actual costs and lost productivity are estimated to be in the billions of dollars.

The Daily Signal’s own Tyler O’Neil exposes this leftist cabal in his new book, The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government.

In this book, O’Neil reveals how the Left’s NGO apparatus pursues its woke agenda, maneuvering like an octopus by circumventing Congress and entrenching its interests in the federal government.
