Golly gee, wizards. They just learned that Joe Biden has aggressive prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. And nobody knew a thing til just like, last week?
What malarkey, as Old Joe from Scranton would say. Biden is diagnosed with prostate cancer, Gleason Score 9, group 5 - the most aggressive prostate cancer there is - yet we're just NOW learning about this. And we're apparently supposed to believe that HE just learned about this.
The most powerful person in the world until four months ago, with the best medical staff available, and they weren't doing regular PSA tests on him? What total horse-hockey. They've surely known about this for years. Like everything else with Biden, they covered it up to try to get him to a second term.
Even the leftiest doctor in the country, Zeke Emanuel, a former Biden advisor and noted oncologist, said there’s no way Biden “just” developed this cancer. He told Joe Scarborough in an interview, “Oh, he’s had this for many years, maybe even a decade, growing there and spreading.” Further along, Scarborough asked, “If he has had prostate cancer that has spread to the bone, then he most certainly had it when he was president of the United States?” Emanuel replied, “Oh yeah. He did not develop it in the last 100 to 200 days. He had it while he was president. He probably had it at the start of his presidency in 2021. Yes, I don’t think there’s any disagreement about that.”
What's even more risible about the claims that this cancer was “just discovered” is that Biden accidentally admitted in a 2022 speech that he had cancer, supposedly from oil in the air in Delaware he inhaled as a child, or something.
My point is not to mock a man afflicted with a terrible illness but to point out that this is likely just another example of Joe Biden’s penchant for exploiting a personal tragedy for the sake of political opportunism.
This news happens to break just after the audio of Biden’s interviews with Robert Hur is released, demonstrating the dilapidated state of his mental faculties. At the same time, he was president, and just before an insider account book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson trashing Biden was about to come out.
It’s a helpful distraction likely designed to mitigate the fallout from those two narratives. It's pathetic.
Joe Biden for years repeatedly, falsely, and despicably accused the truck driver who collided with the car driven by Biden’s first wife, Neilia, in 1972, tragically killing Neilia and the couple’s 1-year-old daughter, of being intoxicated - because it fit Biden's "I am a victim" narrative.
There was zero evidence to support Joe Biden’s slanderous claims in later years that the driver of the truck, Curtiss Dunn, had been drinking before the accident, or was at all culpable in the crash, let alone intoxicated. Police found no evidence he had been impaired.
Delaware Superior Court Judge Jerome Herlihy, who oversaw the police investigation in 1972, said there was no evidence to support Joe Biden’s repeated assertions that Dunn “drank his lunch” that day. It was surmised that Neilia may have turned her head at the wrong moment and not seen the oncoming truck. Alcohol was not found in either driver. Dunn swerved to avoid Neilia’s car, overturned his vehicle, and then ran to help her and her children. Police did not charge Dunn.
Yet in a speech at the University of Delaware in 2001, Biden would claim that a drunk driver killed his wife. And he made a similar claim in 2007. The slanderous accusation made its way into a New York Times article when Biden was running for vice president, and was repeated by the likes of Katie Couric on CBS.
Why would Biden say such a thing, defaming a man who reportedly suffered mental torment for years after the crash? It is because Biden is a craven, despicable man who lies as easily as any of us breathe, if he feels it can help him politically.
Eventually, Dunn’s daughter, Pamela Hamill, who had once supported Biden, could no longer tolerate the lies and publicly demanded that Biden apologize for defaming her father.
Similarly, for years, Biden would falsely represent the circumstances behind another personal tragedy, the death of his son Beau from brain cancer, to advance himself politically. Biden repeatedly said or implied that his son, a military lawyer, died in combat in Iraq. In fact, he died of a brain tumor in Washington, DC.
All of this is to say that nothing that Joe Biden says can be taken at face value. It invariably serves a craven political purpose. News of his prostate cancer diagnosis is designed to deflect attention and suppress criticism. But it will do neither, for this nation will suffer for generations from the catastrophe of his presidency.
