Now that former President Biden has been diagnosed with a serious, Stage IV, Gleason scale 9, prostate cancer with metastasis to the bone, normally I would be supposed to feel sympathy for him.
Sorry, I don’t. Far from it.
I have sympathy for millions of people near and far but one of them is not Joe Biden who defrauded his country and the people in it a variety of ways. He is not a good man, period, end of story, not even a decent one.
On top of this, since I had prostate cancer, not as severe as Biden’s fortunately but still had to have a prostatectomy after roughly eight years of what’s called “active surveillance” during which I was fully aware of the problem, I have to wonder if this too was being covered up.
Was his prostate cancer hidden from the then president or did Biden just allow his doctors to lie about it to the public? Or was it some combination of the two? And when did the Democratic leadership know about the cancer? We know they knew about the senility but worked to keep it quiet.
As we have seen from the portions of the now finally available recording of his interview with federal prosecutor Robert K. Hur, the extraordinary extent of Mr. Biden’s senility was clearly heavily covered up.
Alex Berenson has an accurate enough description of the rather lengthy leaked portions. (You can listen for yourself here if you have the stomach):
“They are awful. They show a man in severe cognitive decline. Biden couldn’t recall even basic facts, like when elections are held. Yes, Joe Biden — who had lusted for the presidency his entire life — thought Donald Trump had won in November 2017, not 2016. It wasn’t a verbal slip. He didn’t know. An aide had to correct him.
“Even that summary doesn’t capture Biden’s struggles.
“What he says is bad. How he says it is worse. His voice is weak and whispery. He goes silent for stretches, loses his train of thought, offers oddly emotional asides about his son Beau — though he could not remember when Beau died. He seems not to remember being vice-president; he speaks of being a senator and then jumps to running for president.”
Is there anything remotely surprising about this? Not at all. If anything, it’s understated. Nevertheless, it’s good that we could finally hear some of the interview. .The reasons it was covered up are all too obvious.
When did Biden’s decline begin? We can be sure that it was a long time before this interview since the man had already had two strokes. I am an octogenarian (81), play tennis with half a dozen men in the same category, and have never encountered anyone near my or Biden’s ages with anything approaching his cognitive issues. Almost certainly there are some, perhaps many, but they are not, thank G-d, president of the United States.
You can also be sure that every major and most of the minor nations of the world were well aware of what was happening simply by watching television, as the rest of us did, or through their intelligence agencies in greater detail. They may even have known about the cancer before any of us.
To put it bluntly, Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Ayatollah Khamenei and Kim Jong-on, to name a few, all knew the so-called Leader of the Free World was “gaga.” They also may know more of who was really calling the shots behind him.
Meanwhile, inflation ran rampant and illegal immigrants of all sorts flooded into our country weakening it, destroying our economy and threatening the safety of our citizens.
And yet Democrat Party leaders like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries said nothing. Indeed, they did the opposite. They insisted Biden was fine, as did the vast percentage of the mainstream (aka legacy) media when almost all knew better. They did it for so long that when Biden finally fell apart they had no choice but to turn to Kamala Harris, far from the most formidable of competitors.
In this country, treason is defined as levying war against the United States or “giving aid and comfort to the enemy.”
This coverup or coverups sounds like the latter to me. Whether it would hold in a court of law is another question, but nonetheless the perpetrators are people who still act as if they deserve to lead us. They decidedly do not. They are, quite clearly, liars.
That they remain in their political positions is, for lack of a better word, nauseating. It is also shameful.
As for the media, we are now confronted by the specter of CNN “star” Jake Tapper, who spent the better part of the last few years covering for Biden, now publishing a book exposing how they were lying all along as if this would exonerate him from his turpitude. It does just the opposite. The word hypocrisy does not even begin to define this man’s reprehensible (and greedy) behavior and no one should waste a penny on his nauseating apologia.
Joe Scarborough, the morning host of MSNBC, did not just defend Biden against accusations of senility, he called the current Biden the best version of Biden ever. Was Scarborough unbelievably dumb or utterly dishonest? I’ll go with the latter. It’s a wonder he was not fired forthwith, but then it’s an affiliate of NBC.
Treason or not, American media is in bad need of a housecleaning—and a fumigation. It seems to be getting it. From the blog revolution onwards into Substacks the number of alternatives is growing. The future is promising.
Meanwhile, much digital ink is being spilled these days about how the Democratic Party is at sea, has no center, no leader. Even old-timers like Maher and Carville are admitting as much in different ways. The explanation for this is the fundamental dishonesty in which the party has been wallowing for some time. I learned a phrase in French class years ago that sums it up. “Mentir est honteux.” To lie is shameful. Fixing the dishonesty is the indespensiblet step in the road back. It won’t be easy.
Yup, it was a scam from Covid tainted elections to a basement candidate, and on to 4 more years of mischief by government. We know who the actors were but can’t get the actual authors in the spotlight. While applauding the righteous crucifixion of these actors we should be painting their sponsors with the same tar brush.

Has Joe Scarborough ever apologized for this? /Silly Question.
