Flotsam and Jetsam - Joe Biden Has Advanced Cancer

So when were they going to tell us, shortly before he stepped down to allow Kamala to serve 2 1/2 terms? BNO News @BNONews "BREAKING: Biden diagnosed with aggressive form of prostate cancer." Fox, Joe Biden diagnosed with 'aggressive form' of prostate cancer with metastasis to the bone. "Biden's office said the cancer is hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management." Driscoll at Insty, DEVELOPING: Biden Diagnosed With “Aggressive Form of Prostate Cancer.” . . . "Flashback to CNBC in February of 2024: Biden is a ‘healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male,’ his doctor says after physical." . . UPDATE: Trump’s comms team issues well-worded response:" Sundance at CTH, Joe Biden Diagnosed with “An Aggressive Form of Prostate Cancer” "Just in time to get rid of the questions about his cognitive abilities during his term in office . . . " Althouse is suspicious too, Is the news of Biden's advanced cancer news of a terrible scandal? "I'm reading "This is the Most Dangerous Cover-up in the History of the Presidency...." "Advanced prostate cancer takes +10 years to develop to the stage where Biden’s diagnosis is. Prostate cancer is also *easy* to find. Simple blood test or prostate exam will give you near 100% accurate results. You’re telling me that the best doctors and testing on earth did not *find* Biden’s cancer in all these years of testing? Was every medical report a lie? For how long?" Are we only receiving this news now to distract from the just-released Hur tapes — to quiet all criticism?" At the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 05.18.25 (Sunday Substackery)  STUMP: Best Wishes To Former President Biden – A Prostate Cancer Diagnosis.  Matt Vespa at TownHall, Hey, CNN, Here's What's Really 'Extraordinary' About Biden's Prostate Cancer Diagnosis. End Wokeness @EndWokeness ""We just found his stage 4 cancer" is the new "he just has a stutter" 

To be fair, beginning with the finding of a nodule and then discovering advanced disease does not pass the sniff test. Someone not receiving adequate or routine healthcare this would make some sense but does not fit the level of medical supervision given to POTUS. https://t.co/ldujgqqWiM

Jonathan Turley, “For Posterity’s Sake”: Why the Biden-Hur Tapes is a Virtual Racketeering Indictment. Althouse highlights "When asked why he removed classified material on Afghanistan, Biden admitted 'I guess I wanted to hang on to it for posterity’s sake.' That is precisely..." "... what critics on CNN and MSNBC accused Trump of doing: removing material as types of keepsakes or trophies. One president was indicted for that and one was sent along his way to a second term in office. The real indictment that comes out of these tapes is a type of political racketeering enterprise by the Washington establishment." Dave Strom at Hat Hair, Everybody Pretends to Be Shocked By Biden-Hur Tapes. Nobody Actually Is, Though. Randy Barnett @RandyEBarnett, "We don’t need @jaketapper or anyone else to tell us Biden has been increasingly senile since the 2020 election. We need them to tell us who was actually running the federal government from 2020-2024 and how they did it. You’re not coming clean until you come clean about that." Mark Judge (remember him?) at Hat Hair says Jake Tapper Is Why We Can’t Quit Stephen Glass, the New Republic fabulist. "In such an environment, where there is no honor and lies can actually help your career, Tapper is going to hang on, hire a crisis pr firm, and try and snake his way through." At Fox, Dave Marcus opines Old Man Biden’s autopen pardons should be null and void, "If he didn't know what was going on, then who really signed those zombie 'get-out-of-jail free cards?" A nice thought, but it'll never happen.

From Da Caller, Trump Says Zelenskyy ‘Pissed Away’ Ukraine Aid. Roger Kimball at Am Great sees Trump in Riyadh: A Rejection of the Globalist Gospel. "Trump’s Riyadh speech rejected nation-building and globalist dogma, marking him as a bold champion of sovereignty over interventionism." Althouse responds "It is often said that the fact that Trump was not seen to have won in 2020 was a blessing in disguise." ""Why? Because had he been allowed to take office in January 2021, he would have still been surrounded by swamp creatures. His great liability when he first took office was that he did not understand how Washington worked. ..." The Brussels Signal seek to Understand Trump: a new doctrine for foreign policy without nuisance. At Hat Hair, Stephen Moore notes Trump wants to Cut Taxes on Made-in-America Products.

Matt Margolis, Is the Dems’ Worst Nightmare Coming True? "How could the country be revolting against Trump when Trump's popularity is surging in the deep blue state of New Jersey? According to a new Emerson College/Pix 11/The Hill poll, Trump is now viewed more favorably than New Jersey Democratic Governor Phil Murphy."

Buck Throckmorton at Ace's, Dear Lee Zeldin: One More Item… "EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is constantly fulfilling my political wish list and reversing regulations in a manner that I only dreamed might ever happen. Again, this is why I voted for Donald Trump. Here are just a very few of the headlines we’ve been enjoying. This wish-list item just got passed in the past week: EPA Chief: Auto Start/Stop Technology Is Done. This headline obviously thrilled me: EPA Takes Action to Terminate EV Mandate. As did this one: EPA head says he'll roll back dozens of environmental regulations, including rules on climate change 2025." Gas cans!

The Manhattan Contrarian is considering Cutting Federal Spending: The Case Of Food Stamps. "Covid was the excuse for letting the food stamp rolls begin to explode again.  But at this point the pandemic has been over for at least three years.  It’s hard to escape the conclusion that the rolls are at a high level because the Biden people wanted them to be at a high level."

Beege Welborn at Hat Hair adds As my friend, a retired federal prosecutor, explains, this could be a very big deal if it turned out to be true.

Charles Glasser at Insty, I HAD THIS ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE THIS EVENING: "See the double dodge here? The AP does a little fluffy piece on what “86” means. And the chatter is that Comey — God’s gift to law enforcement — had to know what it means. But see, the real whopper gets assumed away, missed or ignored. His Comeyness says: “I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk….” Who in their right mind believes that he “just came across” this? AP’s story at link below: The old slang term ’86′ probably started as restaurant-worker jargon. Suddenly it’s in the news."
