I knew something like this would happen. I predicted it. Though I didn't think it would be a cancer diagnosis, I predicted after former President Biden left office that within the first three months of retirement, his family would "suddenly discover" his cognitive abilities had so degraded that they had to put an afghan on Joe's lap, sit him in a barcalounger in front of the Wilmington manse fireplace, hire a renta-nurse, and keep him from polite society—or whatever passes for "polite society" in the Biden universe.
I predicted it would be a sudden collapse of the façade erected by the Family Potemkin and that the family would rely on their buddies in the media to bury inconvenient questions about when Joe started losing his marbles. Can you imagine if they had asked them? "Was it before or after he tripped over the sandbag, tripped up the stairs on Air Force One, or kept losing his train of thought at all public appearances," the imaginary press would ask.
I made this prediction before all of Joe's pardons, so I figured that family bagman Hunter and Dirty Jill would sacrifice Pop Pop's (continued) retirement to make sure he couldn't be deposed in any of the inevitable investigations and lawsuits asking such impertinent questions as, "Who has been president for four years?"
You understand that at the time I was predicting this Jake Sullivan and Tony Blinken were vehemently and fraudulently defending the Afghanistan withdrawal, Jake Tapper was still giving side eye to anyone who dared question Biden's cognitive abilities, and MSNBC was still reporting that Biden was a sharp guy and that anyone who said differently was taking a ride on the old Malarky Express.
By parking Joe next to the fire, the Bidens would save money on all the go-juice they were hyping him up with during his presidency. Dr. Feel Good comes with a big price tag.

Now Joe's got prostate cancer. Prostate cancer generally is highly treatable and slow growing, but we're told that Joe Biden's cancer, which was disclosed Sunday, has quickly spread into his bone tissue and is quite "aggressive."
Catherine has the nuts-and-bolts of the Biden press office announcement on Sunday and Matt wonders nearby, as do we all, about the timing of this announcement. How long did the Biden tribe know of this prostate problem? Was he still in office when it was first confronted? Was it diagnosed before he pulled out of the 2024 campaign?
These are all great questions, and it sure would have been nice to have answers to them before November 5, 2024.
One doesn't go from zero-to-60 between May 13, when the nodule was supposedly first found on Biden's prostate and disclosed to the public, and May 18, when his office reported that Biden was afflicted with metastatic prostate cancer so aggressive that it had spread to bone tissue.
Are we to believe that the doctor treating the leader of the free world missed giving him a PSA test? Or was he given a PSA test that missed this fast-growing nodule?
I'm not an expert; I just don't believe this family.
The bad news is the cancer is aggressive and the good news is it's highly treatable with hormones, yet it will not be "cured," according to medical data.
Bear in mind that while in office, President Non-Compos Mentis was never publicly diagnosed with losing his mental faculties despite eight visits by a Parkinson's Disease specialist between 2023 and 2024, and an initial visit in 2022.
When peppered with questions about this at a White House briefing, the mostly incurious media were mollified by presidential spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre, whose binder told her to assure them that the president's health was really none of our beeswax due to "privacy concerns."
Indeed, KJP consulted her orb and assured the president's secret keepers in the White House media that Joe Biden "was not being treated for Parkinson's disease"—legalese for it could be and probably is Parkinson's related. Still, it's technically not Parkinson's disease per se.
These dopey reporters are the same baying hounds who insisted Donald Trump 45 was a Russian spy, that Trump should be ousted via the 25th Amendment, and that a bonafide oddball whose lawsuit was paid for by a billionaire Trump-hater should be believed though she can't remember when he attacked her -- but #MeToo and all that.

During Joe's presidency the White House assured us that Joe was A-OK for duty.
The White House said Joe had neuropathy in his feet, which explained his gait and need to wear orthopedic-like shoes. We were told that Joe had sleep apnea, which explains why he was seen with CPAP markings on his face at noontime White House events. We were told he had atrial fibrillation, which is an irregular heartbeat. He had a basal cell skin cancer, a non-metastatic form of cancer, on his chest which was removed.
Only after Joe left office did the previously incurious media suddenly discovere that Joe's feet weren't really behind the straight gait, trips, and falls. When the above-mentioned Tapper got a payday to write a book, he told about Joe's spine, which was so degraded with arthritis that his doctor thought he might have to spend his second term in a wheel chair.
And now there's this sudden appearance of cancer.
When will we find out the truth about that?
