Or about anything else.
Joe Biden is sick. This is not news, nor is it new. But he is sick. Prostate cancer; advanced and “aggressive.” I’m no doctor, but wasn’t he constantly monitored by doctors while President of the United States? How are we just hearing this now?
We were told last year that Joe Biden was completely fit and ready to serve another 4 years at President of the United States. In February of last year, his government doctor, one who you’d assume was pretty good, reported the following:
“An extremely detailed neurologic exam was again reassuring in that there were no findings which would be consistent with any cerebellar or other central neurological disorder, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s or ascending lateral sclerosis, nor are there any signs of cervical myelopathy. This exam did again support a finding of peripheral neuropathy in both feet. No motor weakness was detected. He exhibits no tremor, either at rest or with activity. He demonstrates excellent fine motor dexterity. But a subtle difference in heat/cold sensation could be elicited as it was last year. This heat/cold sensation deficit was detected a couple of inches higher on his ankle/calf this year, which is not unexpected. There may; in fact, be day to day subjective variation of these findings, as during last year’s exam, this area of sensation deficit was actually found to be smaller than the year before.”
Joe was ready to rumble, they said. But it turns out that Joe was only ready to rumble with a dead Corn Pop, who I am told was a bad dude. Living people, on the other hand, were an altogether different matter for Joe.
The year before, his doctor reported that Joe “remains a healthy, vigorous 80-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency.”
Are we really supposed to believe that there were zero signs of prostate cancer in Joe for his entire presidency? It appears to develop slowly in most cases, and one would assume that a President would have the most thorough examination of everything that is available. Did they miss it? Did they not look for it?
If they were telling the truth about what they found in regards to Joe’s mental fitness during his term, they are less observant than Hellen Keller would have been if she’d served as a look-out from a perch at deer camp. If they weren’t telling the truth about that, why would we believe they were telling the truth about this? --->READ MORE HERE

We need accountability and greater transparency on matters of presidential health and competence.
“Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie?”
When then-President Joe Biden asked in September 2022 if U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski, an Indiana Republican who had died weeks earlier in a car accident, was in a meeting, observers were shocked. Biden had not only issued a statement of condolence, he had lowered the flags at the White House in her honor.
As Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple noted last week, that moment should have been a wake-up call. In Washington parlance, it left no room for “plausible deniability” about whether Biden was still fit to hold the office of president. And it wasn’t just Democratic politicians who were willfully blind to Biden’s obvious deterioration; it was the media, too.
President Donald Trump’s June 4 order for his administration to investigate Biden’s competence may answer some of these questions, including the possible abuse of an autopen to sign legislation, pardons and other documents while he was president. Last month, the Republican-led House Oversight Committee took the first steps in its own investigation, demanding sworn testimony from Biden’s doctor and top advisers.
The New York Times called Trump’s orders for an investigation part of a “campaign of retribution against his perceived enemies” and “the latest effort by President Trump to stoke conspiracy theories about his predecessor.”
There is a weird dissonance when journalists blame Biden’s White House for a coverup, but then criticize efforts to investigate that coverup. While criminal charges are unlikely to stem from the investigation, if the White House autopen was indeed used without Biden's consent, that could amount to forgery, obstruction of justice, fraud or other serious crimes.
The complicity of politicians, staff and even the press in deception is nothing new in Washington. A century ago, after President Woodrow Wilson experienced a severe stroke in September 1919, his wife, Edith, and his staff covered up the severity of his condition, which made him incapable of fulfilling his duties till the end of his term and affected the race for a Democratic successor. To end such abuses, we must demand accountability and greater transparency on matters of presidential health and competence.
The 25th Amendment of the Constitution, ratified in 1967, was intended to address succession issues, including the incapacity of a president, but it is very difficult to remove a president without the support of the vice president and most of the Cabinet, meaning, little can be done without a virtual mutiny within the White House. --->READ MORE HERE
