Biden’s cancer diagnosis raises the question: Was he ever in good enough health? | Opinion
On May 18, Americans learned that former President Joe Biden has stage 4 cancer that has, unfortunately, metastasized to his bones.
It’s sad that Biden, who for decades served our nation as a senator, vice president and president, now faces a life-threatening illness only four months after leaving the White House.
But I can’t help but think about what Democratic Party leaders and much of the news media told Americans only a year ago. Biden was then portrayed as “active” and “robust.” He was more than ready, according to the Democratic Party, for four more years as commander in chief, even as he approached his 82nd birthday.

So, I have questions for the Democratic Party. When did Democratic leaders know that Biden was incapable of serving a second term? Why did they insist on a debate with Trump so early in the election year? Was the debate a fail-safe before the party’s convention in case Biden proved to be as shaky as we all eventually witnessed? Why should voters trust that the party will tell them the truth in the future?
They won’t. But, Democrats will still vote Democrat no matter what.
Hur decided not to prosecute Biden for improperly possessing classified documents because the special counsel thought a jury would view the president as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
That raised justified questions about whether Biden was competent enough to serve as president. But Democrats and much of the media brushed aside those concerns.
And the media will still pimp for Democrats. That’s what they do. It won’t change. They have fallen too deep down the well to get out and actually be reporters. Nor do most want to.
Conservatives were right to be suspicious a year ago about Biden’s health. But why weren’t more journalists asking tough questions at the time? Why weren’t Democratic leaders pressing for the good of their party and the country for Biden to step aside long before the debate debacle?
Conservatives were suspicious during the 2020 campaign, with Biden being hidden away for the most part.
Biden’s Late Cancer Diagnosis Exposes Democrats And The Media As Legitimate National Security Risks
Until Democrats start naming names and apologizing for their reckless, craven conduct as it relates to Joe Biden, I don’t want to hear another word about Pete Hegseth’s Signal chats.
It was fine timing to get news over the weekend that the former president, a well established dotard, has an advanced and aggressive form of prostate cancer that has reached his bones. There’s a strong likelihood that Biden was diagnosed with some stage of the disease before he was even elected president, and he almost certainly had it while in office. Yet the public knew nothing until Sunday.
Prayers up for Biden, but this is an appalling scandal. And it comes just as the dying news media are finally acknowledging that, yeah, Biden’s brain was rapidly browning over as he sat in the Oval Office, where he was losing track of space and time as the commander of the United States military, the point person for nuclear war.
Yeah, always good to have someone mentally incompetent driving the the world into WWIII.
Recall that now-Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson, when he was serving as Donald Trump’s first-term White House physician in 2018, rendered a medical summary on the president that more or less described Trump as in good health, if a little overweight and in need of some exercise. The dying media questioned him for an hour at a press conference. They were sure that Jackson was deceiving the public by not divulging some mental affliction that would have affirmed their feverish desire to see Trump removed from office by way of the 25th Amendment.
But, not only did the media not ask questions, they covered it up. I don’t expect anything to change.
