So apparently Biden has prostate cancer which has metastasized to his bones. Not only that, but this bombshell hit today too:
https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2025/may/18/biden-book-health-original-sin
So not only does Biden have rapidly advancing prostate cancer which I’m guessing he had while he was president and kept a secret from the public while running for president, but many loyal democrats are clear that while Biden was president his memory was failing, and he could not recognize some of the most famous people in the world, who he had met before, that anyone with a basic cultural awareness and full mental cognition would recognize instantly.
I feel sorry for the Biden family that a member of their family has cancer. Cancer is horrible. But I am also furious that they were dishonest with the American people about the health of the president. Millions of people could tell Biden’s health was failing as they pretended that he was extremely healthy. He wasn’t.
Again, I send my condolences to his family that he has a serious form of cancer. No one deserves to go through this.
But I am furious about the lying.
Democrats have a choice. We can defend every last thing Biden did to our deaths or we can learn from our mistakes and win elections. We cannot do both.
To Americans who are inconsistent voters who lean Democrat, seeing that Biden and his entire cabinet lied to the American people about his health is a big fucking deal. Now, based on the polls which I have already written about here on my blog it’s not the first major miscalculation by the New Democrat Caucus.
The Taliban taking over Afghanistan was a big fucking deal and Biden’s approval plummeted 20 points over the month following that horrible day. There was no other major event at that point in time to explain why 20% of Americans went from approving of his job to disapproval. Acknowledge and learn from it or lose elections.
The majority of Democrats and Independents support Ukraine and believed Biden should have done more to support Ukraine.
The majority of Democrats do not support Israel’s onslaught on Gaza.
On every major foreign policy decision, Biden was out of step with his party, and in line with what Donald Trump would have done in his stead. This lost voters. I voted for Harris in November, I do vote for the Democrat every time I can. But many voters don’t, and it is the job of the Democratic Party to run candidates who will do a good job and win elections. They have no other job.
And now this.
Not only was Biden instrumental in three major global human rights catastrophes, but now it turns out his entire team was lying about his health through at least the last year of his presidency while he was running for reelection. This is crass, reprehensible, and irresponsible.
Not only that, but doctors claimed Biden is a superager last year. https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-appears-superager-doctors-say-1858473
That was clearly a complete and total lie. It is extremely unlikely that this mestasized in less than 12 months, which means Biden’s doctors lied. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/bone-metastasis
CDC guidelines state clearly that men who are over 70 should not get screened for prostate cancer routinely. Biden had the best health care in the world as president. Perhaps they didn’t screen him once in four years, but when he’s the president, I find this hard to believe.
More importantly, he probably had PSA 9 testing while he president according to this scholar from Harvard. So I find it pretty inconceivable the president would not be getting tested for such things.
Given how far his cancer has mestasized it is possible Biden had early stage prostate cancer back in 2020. I’m just guesssing here, I’m not a doctor, but it sure looks like it based on those numbers. He was definitely getting annual prostate cancer screens as a former Vice President man over the age of 70. But they couldn’t handle having another progressive nominee, so he kept going when he knew he had health problems.
When they go low, we go high.
What happened to that spirit?
The lying from the Biden administration about his health combined with his disastrous foreign policy led right into Trump’s victory last year. That is why Trump won the popular vote.
Of course I’m angry Biden lied. You should be too.
It was so obvious that 70% of Americans when polled stated that they believed Biden did not have the health to serve as President last June. Americans could tell his health was failing, and knew that his entire administration was lying to the world. I was worried about losing a Key to the White House. But it is now obvious he should have chosen not to run for reelection by the middle of 2023, giving us plenty of time for a proper primary.
Here’s the problem for the New Democratic Caucus… they were all in on it and they don’t have any other candidate who will be able to win the presidential election in 2028. This combined with everything else will hopefully remove everyone from Biden’s cabinet from being considered for the presidency in 2028. It’s far too risky. That means AOC is the highest polling Democrat right now in the primary. The second highest is Cory Booker. Gavin Newsom is shooting his campaign in the foot with his transphobic comments. Tim Walz killed his future by running on a ticket with Harris. Josh Shapiro is out of line on foreign policy.
The next president will likely be AOC or Cory Booker, and New Democrats are freaking out about it.
Because if we have a progressive and intelligent president who can quickly clean up Trump’s mess after the multiple foreign policy disasters under Biden’s administration it will be damn near impossible for the New Democrats to gaslight their way out of this one.
Not only that but if either of them win the entire argument that Harris lost because she was black will be proven wrong. On top of that, if AOC wins then the reason Harris lost will clearly not be because she is a woman…
But we already know that it wasn’t because she was a woman because Hillary Clinton won the popular vote and President Barack Obama is the only Democrat to win a majority of the popular vote twice since President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
So we already know it was a policy and keys issue. The “Americans won’t vote for an African American or a woman” nonsense has been debunked at this point in history.
I hope we will have a strong progressive as president in 2029. But I’m pissed off that this is the way we are going to get there.
I know that Republicans do the same thing all the time. I don’t really care about that.
Biden did some great things on domestic policy and pushed for many important reforms as president. I have a clear track record of praising his domestic policy. If you ever cared about Biden’s domestic policy wins, you need to care that we can keep Democrats elected and don’t feed this easy fodder to Republicans to run against us with.
Coping will not win the presidency in 2028. If coping and suck up to the centrist nominee was going to win elections, Kamala Harris would be president. But she is not. Because the strategy of the New Democrats has lost 4/5 of the last elections where they were the nominee.
Biden’s decisions have destroyed his legacy. His domestic wins will be overshadowed by setting up a situation where Donald Trump could win a second term in the history books.
We need a different strategy. This is not working. We need to be honest, we need to be clear. We need to win elections and pass good policy which improves people’s lives. Lying is not going to get us there.
One of the cardinal rules of politics is don’t hand your opponents easy wins. Play with a clean slate all the time. Don’t feed the animal. This sort of reckless behavior breaks that most important rule.
Democrats need to win. Biden made that significantly more difficult through his reckless behavior.
I’m pissed off.
Vote Blue.
