Did those who missed Biden's dementia also miss his cancer? Joe Biden Diagnosed With ‘Aggressive’ Prostate Cancer

 Daily Caller  "Former President Joe Biden received a diagnosis of prostate cancer on Friday, according to a Sunday announcement by his personal office.

"The statement characterizes the cancer Biden has as “a more aggressive form of the disease” that has metastasized to the bone, but the statement adds that it can be effectively managed. The diagnosis follows renewed scrutiny on Biden’s physical and mental decline, along with its cover-up, ahead of the release of a book on the subject titled “Original Sin” by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson. (RELATED: After Democratic Panic, Harris Lines Up Softball Interview Tour)

“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement reads. “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management. The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”

"A Gleason score of nine indicates high-grade cancer, meaning that the tumor is more likely to spread aggressively, according to Mount Sinai. A lower Gleason score would indicate that the cancer does not grow as quickly and is less likely to spread elsewhere.

"Since leaving office in January, Biden has delivered one major public speech and participated in interviews with “The View” and BBC. In his May 8 appearance on “The View,” he denied reports that he experienced cognitive decline during his presidency.  

"After Biden’s son Beau passed away from brain cancer in 2015, he decided not to run for president in 2016 before running again and securing the White House in 2020. Excerpts from “Original Sin” and other revelations about the Biden presidency indicate that the former president was in declining physical and mental condition throughout his term, and that the extent of his decline was no longer deniable after his poor performance in the June 2024 debate against President Donald Trump. 

"Trump issued a statement on Truth Social shortly after news of Biden’s diagnosis broke on Sunday."

“Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis,” Trump wrote. “We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.”

Here’s What Would Happen If The Trump Administration Used The Comey Standard Against Comey

 The Federalist   "Comey’s latest post would no doubt be pursued as incitement to violence — something Comey himself would seem to advocate were he not the subject of investigation."

Ian Macfarlane

"James Comey dog-whistling his desire for President Donald Trump to be assassinated via a now-infamous “86 47” social media post — only to play dumb after well-deserved backlash — is a final befitting act by the disgraced former FBI director in his long-running campaign to destroy the president. Justice demands he answer for this outrageous act, particularly because the holier-than-thou G-man has to date completely skirted justice.

"Indeed, Comey, among those most responsible for eviscerating the rule of law and undermining our republic over the last decade, has evaded any accountability for his sordid and malevolent conduct — besides being fired during the Trump I administration. Yet consider the parade of horribles for which Comey bears culpability.

"The Russiagate hoax originated and festered under Comey’s leadership. Comey briefed the incoming president on the wholly uncorroborated Steele dossier days before his first inauguration — a briefing whose leak triggered the media to report on the garbage oppo research package. This in turn undermined the incoming administration and helped foment the Trump-Russia collusion narrative. The FBI would of course use the dubious dossier to justify the unjustifiable spying on the Trump campaign through Carter Page, via a civil rights-obliterating FISA warrant that Comey and his comrades zealously pursued.

"Comey also orchestrated the brazen ambush interview of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn in a bid to set a perjury trap that would lead to his demise and destabilize the administration. Flynn was poised to radically restructure the deep state. That’s one of the reasons why he was among its first targets in the Trump administration.

"Instead of being able to help the president root out the rot and corruption and reorient the national security and intelligence apparatus toward America’s national interest, Flynn ended up having his career destroyed, his reputation tarnished, and his finances ruined — despite having committed no crime. He underwent a devastating sham trial before a judge who, botching the facts of the case, slandered the storied terrorist-hunting Flynn as a traitor, and has never received restitution for this ordeal.

"Comey delivered public testimony to Congress discrediting President Trump months into his presidency by claiming he was under investigation as part of the Trump-Russia collusion “probe” Comey’s FBI cooked up, while privately reassuring the president he was not a target of investigation." . . .

On Democrats

Want to Understand the Modern Democrat Party? Look no Further than Apocalyptic Cults 

The demise of every single apocalyptic cult is built into the very fabric of the cult itself.  Until the Democrats can become a dynamic political party rather than a stagnant apocalyptic cult they will continue to self-destruct.


"Apocalyptic cults provide a window on some amazing complex group dynamics. First, of course is the "apocalyptic" part. This is what they are best known for -- the world is going to end next Tuesday or the aliens will be arriving the first of the month to take the chosen to space heaven, or a hundred other crazed ideas.

"The cults preach that the only way to “escape this impending doom is by joining the group, adhering to its leader's teachings, and following its prescribed rituals.”

"For the Democrat party, the most recent apocalyptic tale is of course the horrors of climate change. A few decades ago, it was the world was going to end in an overpopulated gigantic snowball and now it has gone 180° and the world is going to end in an underpopulated boiling desert.

"Trump is like the gift that keeps giving in this area. Everything Trump does -- or even considers -- is a coming apocalypse that must be fought to save us all.

"But regardless of the current impending doom, the Democrat party is the only solution to stave off the end of everything. Power, money, freedom, your children -- all must be granted to the government to save us.

"As a side note, notice how it is always implicitly assumed they will be running this government for all time? I guess this is their not-so-subtle message that if they aren’t, the apocalypse will come and get us all. So vote D forever! At least if you want to live.

"One of the most incredible features of apocalyptic cults is what happens to them when their prediction of doom -- or aliens -- doesn’t happen. When the world doesn’t end next Tuesday."...

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy Calls on Schumer, Jeffries to Resign for Their Roles in Biden Cover-Up  "Joe Biden's decline has gotten even more focus first with the new book from Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, "Original Sin," and now with Thompson's release of some of the audio from Special Counsel Robert Hur's interview of Biden. 

"We had previously seen a transcript of the interview. But the audio makes it so much worse. You hear his halting, confused responses, how he couldn't even remember when his son died, and that he had confusion about even when President Donald Trump became president the first time.

"Biden was even confused about the classified material they were grilling him over. His attorney had to intervene to attempt a clean-up of one of his answers. He also wandered off into talking about weird, unrelated subjects like technology and Mongolia during the interview.

 Now, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy excoriated Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) for saying they were "looking forward."  . . .

Man Who Turned World Into Dumpster Fire And Covered Up Biden's Senility Says Trump Sucks at Diplomacy

 David Strom

"If you want to set the world to rights, finally end the conflicts in the Middle East and Europe, and rein in China, perhaps you might quit listening to these dolts." 


"Jake Sullivan has been, along with Anthony Blinken, one of the top players in the Democratic foreign policy world for a decade and a half. 

"He is so good at his job that you could call him a key architect of the great policies that brought us the color revolutions, the Libyan collapse, the "Arab Spring," the Syrian Civil War, the Afghanistan withdrawal, the Ukraine War, and then the October 7th attacks and the war in Gaza. 

"Sullivan famously penned an article for Foreign Affairs bragging that the Middle East is at peace under Biden and that the US could finally turn its attention elsewhere. " . . .

"Biden, you see, worked hand in glove with Sullivan. And Sullivan's keen judgment led him to believe that no president was nearly as good at foreign policy as Joe. 

"Is it true that Jake couldn't tell that Biden's brain was toast? I'm almost willing to believe so because his ability to read the room is so manifestly awful that he may indeed not be able to tell the difference between a sentient human being and a toad." . . . 

Known as "Jacked-up Joe" for his supernatural transfiguration from the Biden of the debate to the vitriolic, acrimonious screeds of the SOTU, the DNC convention, and the dark, sinister cosplay outside Freedom Hall. All of which had to be seen as a call for the murder of President Donald Trump. TD


A confused man named Joe
  . . ."President Biden was so confused. He got the dates wrong, and his rambling was scary. Nevertheless, the real issue here is who ran the country. Who signed the pardons or told him to sign them? Or the executive orders? Who would have answered the dreaded 3 a.m. call and given the Secretary of Defense the orders to fire the missiles?

"And where were the media? I can understand that some Democrats were just being loyal to the President. I get that. However, we expect the media to look beyond that."

Exclusive: Prosecutor's audio shows Biden's memory lapses    "Amid long, uncomfortable pauses, Joe Biden struggled to recall when his son died, when he left office as vice president, what year Donald Trump was elected or why he had classified documents he shouldn't have had, according to audio Axios obtained of his October 2023 interviews with special counsel Robert Hur.

"Why it matters: The newly released recordings of Biden having trouble recalling such details — while occasionally slurring words and muttering — shed light on why his White House refused to release the recordings last year, as questions mounted about his mental acuity.
  • The audio also appears to validate Hur's assertion that jurors in a trial likely would have viewed Biden as "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."
  • Partly based on that determination, Hur decided not to prosecute Biden for improper possession of classified documents, angering Republicans because Trump was facing charges in his own classified document scandal then.
  • Democrats and Biden's White House blasted Hur for his observations about Biden. They repeatedly insisted he was "sharp" and that Hur was politically motivated. But the audio from the six hours of interviews indicates he and co-counsel Marc Krickbaum were respectful and friendly.
"The big picture: The audio surfaces as Democrats and the national media are grappling with the legacy of Biden's White House and campaign hiding his decline as he ran for another four-year term at age 81.
  • Democratic leaders have struggled this week to respond to reports about a new book on that topic — "Original Sin," by Axios' Alex Thompson and CNN's Jake Tapper — that will be released Tuesday.
  • The audio — from two three-hour sessions on Oct. 8 and 9, 2023 — adds voice and dimension to the transcripts of the interviews that the Justice Department made available in the weeks after Hur's report was released Feb. 8, 2024.
  • Biden's White House refused to release the recordings last year, arguing they were protected "law enforcement materials" and that Republicans only wanted "to chop them up, distort them, and use them for partisan political purposes." . . .Much more...
