My first thought when I heard the announcement yesterday is it was spin to deflect from the Tapper book and others to come that put Biden in a bad light. This press release from yesterday was probably orchestrated by Jill Biden, who is trying to protect the brand for her own personal gain. Nothing like a little cancer to gain some sympathy. He has probably been diagnosed with it for months and already under hormone treatments. It was kept quiet when that served the family. But Jill had this announcement in her back pocket to deflect from her own horrible judgement and obvious elder-abuse. Well done "doctor" Jill!
It's just been an avalanche of lie after lie after lie, couched in hoaxes and deceptions by the DNC and DNC-Media for ten years now. I am so sick and tired of this. There has got to be a way of legally sanctioning these villains. This cannot be our lives.
For one, DOJ must indict and prosecute Garland for contempt of Congress. He refused to turn over the subpoenaed Hur tapes. Holder got away with the same crime over Fast & Furious, but Navarro and Bannon did not. They served jail time. Garland must serve jail time.
Two, Congress must pass a law the makes it a crime for a federal official, elected or unelected, to commit fraud on the people. We have a law (18 U.S. Code § 371 ) in the reverse which Manafort and other Trump associates have been prosecuted and jailed for.
Three, Democratic and Republican members need to hold their corrupt leaders accountable and not just at the ballot box, but by running these assholes out of business and probably out of town, too. I recommend forcing them to run a gauntlet of irate citizens outfitted with switches, down the Capitol steps, out Pennsylvania Avenue, and into the Potomac River and told to never, EVER, return to public life.
The GOP has acted shamefully in the past, but the Clinton-Obama-Biden DNC and their co-conspirators in news & entertainment media are the penultimate corrupt, rotten, no-good, fucking jerks... cannot hate them enough. I don't want to hurt them, but I never want to see or hear from them ever again. They've been the most destructive, toxic force our country has been forced to endure since its founding. God damn them all to Hell. Sorry for the profanity, but Jeez, I'm pissed about this.
"The GOP has acted shamefully in the past, but the Clinton-Obama-Biden DNC and their co-conspirators in news & entertainment media are the penultimate corrupt, rotten, no-good, fucking jerks... cannot hate them enough."
Talk about coruption. You are utterly blind to trump taking every opportunity and constantly devising new ways to enrich himself and his family. Did you follow his trip of self-enrichment to the middle east? Turns out qatar wanted to SELL the flying palace to the US but trump claimed it was a GIFT! The only things trump is interested in is money and being the center of attention at all times.
Well, right wing media ignores anything that shows trump in a bad light. "A contest of sorts has played out across Europe, the United States and the Middle East in recent days as President Trump’s two older sons have pursued a blitz of family moneymaking ventures capitalizing on their father’s name and power, each seemingly trying to outdo the other.
It is a rush to cash in that involves billions of dollars with few precedents in American history.
A luxury hotel in Dubai. A second high-end residential tower in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Two cryptocurrency ventures based in the United States. A new golf course and villa complex in Qatar. And a new private club in Washington. In many cases these new deals promoted over the last week will personally benefit not only Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., but also President Trump himself." The club in DC, the " Executive Branch" cost $.5M to join and gives members a chance to hob not with cabinet members & other trump officials. The Trump family is offering a private dinner at the White House—which is owned by the American taxpayers—to the winner of an auction for their $TRUMP cryptocurrency.
All these business ventures are disclosed to the public and are ordinary business for the Trump kids. As far as is known, they are not laundering money through a couple dozen shell companies, right?
I don't know if it was just Jill Biden, it could have also been their ‘crisis PR’ person who instructed them to hold off the medical announcement until the exact week the Tapper/Thompson book launches.
1. The Deep State KNEW Biden's mental decline would be exposed in the debate to get rid of him.
2. Kamala did WHAT SHE WAS TOLD. She couldn't ALLOW NUTHIN!
3. It's very nice of you, Sasha, to wish the best for Joe Biden but because of the damage he's done, the sweet virtue you've shown is difficult for many.
Good piece, Sasha, and please be safe on your travels!
I think you long ago got to the point known as "blinded by hate". You seem to routinely engage in Reverse Engineering in order to justify hate, indicating a desideratum. Though my mother was certainly a very problematic person, she did, like Tolkien has Saruman say about Gandalf, have her own "store of wisdom", once saying to me something like "Hate does more harm to the hater than the hated". Or as my fellow Texan Don Henly once said/sang "You keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside". My first impression is that Donald Trump was an obnoxious jerk with good common sense. In the years since then, I have seen no reason to retreat from that.
Random note: the element "saru-" in "Saruman" is a Celtic word meaning "craft" or "skill". An equally petty form of enlightenment is that Celtic geographic names in Britain often have a Celtic word followed by its Germanic equivalent, as in the "calibur(n" in "(Ex)calibur" going back to "stream-stream". Somebody must have misread "he got his sword out of calibur(n)" as "he got his sword "Excalibur".
My first impression of trump is that he was a conman and a ignorant buffoon. "In the years since then, I have seen no reason to retreat from that." I think he is trying to establish a dictatorship by 2028. And I think he has some truly evil people in his entourage, especially Stephen Miller who is one of his chief strategists, trying to turn Civil Rights backwards to claim white people (who have all the power and wealth in the US) are the main victims of discrimination. He must be doing a happy dance that he pulled off getting white S. African "refugees" admitted to the US while expelling thousands of black and brown people; he even wants to "denaturalize" ones that are already citizens. I think Hegseth is evil also, an incompetent drunken rapist who is trying to whitewash the Pentagon database, even eliminating black medal of honor winners.
Over the years, I have read many, many hateful right wing posts about Biden & democrats, and my comments are mild compared to those.
Not sure how the cancer story helps with the autopen situation. But you are correct, the autopen is a real disaster for the Biden team and the Dems since it is likely it was used to sign most legislation and EOs without the awareness / knowledge of the elected President. That makes all those EOs, pardons and such, null and void and also raises legal issues for those who signed the docs without the elected authority, basically impersonation of a President or forgery, take your pick. I guarantee Bondi's legal team is investigating it and might even be subpoenaing those in the know.
Here’s a theory (unsubstantiated). If the autopen investigation gets to a critical stage, couldn’t Team Biden reveal that actually Joe was undergoing chemo treatments and you know, those cause ‘brain fog’, so the autopen was just to carry out his will while he was undergoing cancer treatment.
No. When the President is disabled, as Reagan was after he was shot, the Presidency is to transfer to the VP. Period. That is what the Constitution calls for. There are no other alternatives for an ad hoc presidency
Yes. That is what is supposed to happen. But the 25th Amendment was ignored by those around Biden. We likely just lived through an ad hoc 46th presidency? Remember when Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin went into the hospital (secretly) and it was reported he didn’t inform White House? I think that story was also fabricated that Team Biden didn’t know. As it were, Lloyd’s secret hospital stay was also for prostate cancer treatment.
I’m with you Matt, we just witnessed an imposter serving as 46th POTUS with control ceded to the radical left. It’s the only thing that can explain Biden’s policies for 4 years. The COVID bill, the Inflation Reduction Act, the Infrastructure Act and the Chips Act, - $4 trillion in all. These were all loaded with largess to many left wing causes. And this doesn’t even consider the border, title IV changes, Afghanistan pull out, Ukraine war, Israel - Hamas war, boys in girls sports, and much more. Yup, Joseph Biden was not making the decisions nor executing upon them.
I hope the burners are well calibrated and I suspect the WH is being very smart about taking them out. Jesus I hope so. I have felt exactly the same about this as you have written. Well done. I think I have been too pissed off to write it out. Lo, it keeps getting wider and deeper.
Biden himself was a mere pawn to a higher level of power. Who used him, and the "Basement Strategy" to use a puppet leader as the face of a hidden cabal that actually ran our government. An unelected cabal. This happened. This isn't conjecture, this isn't conspiracy theory. We all just lived through it.
Senile, addled, and cancer ridden, a puppet for hidden interests.
Will anyone bother to try to find out who was behind this? Who the real powers were running the nation? Biden, as patsy, allowed them to govern further Left than anyone in the public would have ever voted for. It allowed for open borders.
At this point if you truly believe the 2020 election wasn't rigged, you are but a fool. One who deserves such subterfuge and lies, right in your face.
83 million votes for Biden proves the rigging, beyond any reasonable doubt. Obama and Clinton each got 63 million. Even Harris, likely still using some of the ballot box stuffing tricks available in states that do not require voter ID, could only muster 73 million. So where did the 20 million extra votes, 34% more than the savior Obama, come from?
I think many will try to figure this out. I think we're all, really--all the time--trying to figure out who has been running that show. It's possible that there hasn't been just one mastermind, but many powers and forces at work-- the angel of light behind all of them. One thing we do know: they are ever working to destroy.
We must stay awake and vigilant, having learned so many lessons over the past eight -plus years. We cannot afford to fall asleep again and expect others to do the fighting for us.
But Biden isn’t even the story. The cover-up is, and now they’re left with no place to hide.
The Hur tape along with Tapper’s book and media mea culpa’s about “how did we miss that?”, and then blaming the Whitehouse staff, have put the real question front and center: Who was running the country for those 4 years!
And… Biden having cancer and undergoing secret prostate cancer treatments (like Sec. of Defense Lloyd Austin did) would be a perfect explanation down the line for why surrogates needed to keep the country ‘safe and running’. We lied for the good of the American people!
They’ve been left with no place to hide for over 10 years now. They don t care. Actually It’s worse. They love to advertise their loathsome ways For all to see.
The cancer story is bullshit, and a smokescreen to deflect from all the books coming out, telling the public what many of us have know for years. Prostate cancer doesn't just 'show up' as it's an extremely slow growing cancer that's easily detected as part of routine annual physicals. This is just more of the same ridiculous alternative reality that we've experienced over the past four years, and actually, going back to the Obama Presidency.
Also--of course he was getting PSA tests for many years, no doubt. Why, unlike other presidents, were his PSA levels not part of the released presidential (and veep) exams results? Layers and layers of lies that are so deep, they finally cannot run (or gaslight) anymore. Four years of a pure scam that infected every level of the admin. This BS now is just the latest attempt at the cover-up--but, it's not working anymore....
Well, let's hope that this may be the toxic wave finally cresting. Seriously, if this isn't rock bottom, I'm might have to take my retired ass to some nice expat community down in central America.
It's not any cancer, it's prostate cancer which is very slow growing, easily tested during an annual physical with a PSA test (that has only 15% probability of missing it) and takes years to spread to the bones.
For a US President getting the best health care in the world, it's just impossible to believe this wasn't known years ago.
Please be aware that the PSA test is notoriously unreliable - see https://unbekoming.substack.com/p/the-great-prostate-hoax for a full analysis. I worked for a testing lab for 13 years that used to include PSA with a men's health panel. We stopped doing the PSA as it caused more problems than it solved. It is not specific for prostate cancer and a positive test can lead to unnecessary procedures. The rectal exam would have picked up the cancer much earlier, before it metastasized. The bone metastases on their own would have been harder to detect. An old friend of mine, who never went to the doctor for routine tests, was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer; the very first symptom was that he broke his femur during a fall off a ladder. The bone metastases had weakened his bones. He started treatment for the prostate cancer but it was already too late and he passed away a year later.
The PSA test is unreliable because it gives many false positives: claiming cancer when there really isn't any, so people undergo biopsies and other procedures for no reason.
But the PSA test has only a 15% chance of false negatives, not detecting a cancer when it does exist. That alone would have made it less likely that prostrate cancer would have been undetected.
I delayed taking the PSA test for years because of its false positive rate but changed my mind because I'd rather risk that than not detecting a real case.
The cynicism of the timing of the announcement of Biden's cancer removes any sympathy I might have had for him... The Biden's are truly awful people...
Sorry, I'm going to reserve my "empathy" for the American people, not The Biden Crime Family.
The same group of cretins that hijacked the Presidency are trying to use poor, demented Joe one last time, literally wringing the last drops of his usefulness to them out of his failing body before they relegate him to hospice care and an eventual ignominious death. Regardless of what Joe deserves, these mendicants cannot be allowed to use him as a shield from accountability. It's not about a lack of sympathy , it's an attempt to stop the people who have abused him from doing it again right in front of our faces.
I sort of agree, but sort of not. Your comment implies Joe and Jill are not, ultimately, calling the shots, which is incorrect in my view. I see the timing of the prostate news as their last desperate attempt to regain control of the narrative. But yeah, the party apparatus is seeking to use the story to shield the both the Bidens and the Dems from accountability. That cannot be allowed to happen.
Point of order: My comment does not imply that Jill's not calling the shots.
As far as Joe's role, I'm not implying anything. I'm asserting that most of the decisions coming out of the White House during his term were not made by him, and may even have been made without his knowledge.
He gave us his word "as a Biden" that he wouldn't issue the thick sheaf of pardons that flew off his desk in the last days of his Presidency. Those pardons need to be reviewed to determine whether he intended to grant them.
An elemental distillation of the character of Mr. Biden would reveal that this man is a coward — subject to moral cowardice, personal cowardice, ethical cowardice — and his survival instincts are always his first priority. The man is damaged goods!
That word describes him very well. A ne'er do well who made his way to the top of the nation by making himself a useful pawn to those who are more courageous, even if also evil
Yet another transparent, failed manipulation on the part of the Democrats, intending to make us "look here, not there."
And give me a break about the "thoughts and prayers" everyone on tv is spewing today. Political correctness be damned. Ask the families of the hundreds of thousands of people who were killed by fentanyl and murdered by illegals' violence if they have any prayers for the POS who made it all possible.
And then there’s poor Jake Tapper who will not make his bazillion dollars on his book because the elite are dangling a shiny object in the opposite direction.
Joe Biden has had more than his share of tragedy in is life but he has also shamelessly exploited these tragic events for political gain. He repeatedly lied about the car accident that killed his first wife and young daughter by claiming that the driver of the truck involved in the accident was drunk. He wasn't. Biden's accusations were needlessly cruel.
He also lied about the death of his son Beau, claiming he "lost his son in Iraq". Beau died at home in Delaware of a brain tumor. There is no evidence that Beau's service in Iraq caused his death.
Unfortunately the Biden family is not above exploiting the basic decency of people, and the sympathy that they extend in times of tragedy, for their own benefit
Remember--in his medical past, is that he blew a head gasket--twice! They say when a brain is operated on, you're never the same. Although, in his case--almost anything would be an improvement...
First, I'm sorry you're in Barstow, the armpit of America. What's worse is if you have to suffer that drive on I-15 to Vegas, the absolute worst stretch of concrete some fool designed to let 6 million cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles/minute fight to get nowhere worthwhile.
Avoid it at all costs. Do not take your life in your hands by letting some illegal run you over.
Second, keep up the fantastic work. America needs your voice of reason and sanity.
My first thought when I heard the announcement yesterday is it was spin to deflect from the Tapper book and others to come that put Biden in a bad light. This press release from yesterday was probably orchestrated by Jill Biden, who is trying to protect the brand for her own personal gain. Nothing like a little cancer to gain some sympathy. He has probably been diagnosed with it for months and already under hormone treatments. It was kept quiet when that served the family. But Jill had this announcement in her back pocket to deflect from her own horrible judgement and obvious elder-abuse. Well done "doctor" Jill!
It's just been an avalanche of lie after lie after lie, couched in hoaxes and deceptions by the DNC and DNC-Media for ten years now. I am so sick and tired of this. There has got to be a way of legally sanctioning these villains. This cannot be our lives.
For one, DOJ must indict and prosecute Garland for contempt of Congress. He refused to turn over the subpoenaed Hur tapes. Holder got away with the same crime over Fast & Furious, but Navarro and Bannon did not. They served jail time. Garland must serve jail time.
Two, Congress must pass a law the makes it a crime for a federal official, elected or unelected, to commit fraud on the people. We have a law (18 U.S. Code § 371 ) in the reverse which Manafort and other Trump associates have been prosecuted and jailed for.
Three, Democratic and Republican members need to hold their corrupt leaders accountable and not just at the ballot box, but by running these assholes out of business and probably out of town, too. I recommend forcing them to run a gauntlet of irate citizens outfitted with switches, down the Capitol steps, out Pennsylvania Avenue, and into the Potomac River and told to never, EVER, return to public life.
The GOP has acted shamefully in the past, but the Clinton-Obama-Biden DNC and their co-conspirators in news & entertainment media are the penultimate corrupt, rotten, no-good, fucking jerks... cannot hate them enough. I don't want to hurt them, but I never want to see or hear from them ever again. They've been the most destructive, toxic force our country has been forced to endure since its founding. God damn them all to Hell. Sorry for the profanity, but Jeez, I'm pissed about this.
I really love your perspective and righteous anger. You speak truth.
Preach.
Can I get this on a bumper sticker?
"The GOP has acted shamefully in the past, but the Clinton-Obama-Biden DNC and their co-conspirators in news & entertainment media are the penultimate corrupt, rotten, no-good, fucking jerks... cannot hate them enough."
This is so true!
Talk about coruption. You are utterly blind to trump taking every opportunity and constantly devising new ways to enrich himself and his family. Did you follow his trip of self-enrichment to the middle east? Turns out qatar wanted to SELL the flying palace to the US but trump claimed it was a GIFT! The only things trump is interested in is money and being the center of attention at all times.
I see your "Buh, buh, but Trummmpp!" and raise you "Where do you get that information?"
Well, right wing media ignores anything that shows trump in a bad light. "A contest of sorts has played out across Europe, the United States and the Middle East in recent days as President Trump’s two older sons have pursued a blitz of family moneymaking ventures capitalizing on their father’s name and power, each seemingly trying to outdo the other.

The club in DC, the " Executive Branch" cost $.5M to join and gives members a chance to hob not with cabinet members & other trump officials. The Trump family is offering a private dinner at the White House—which is owned by the American taxpayers—to the winner of an auction for their $TRUMP cryptocurrency.
All these business ventures are disclosed to the public and are ordinary business for the Trump kids. As far as is known, they are not laundering money through a couple dozen shell companies, right?
I don't know if it was just Jill Biden, it could have also been their ‘crisis PR’ person who instructed them to hold off the medical announcement until the exact week the Tapper/Thompson book launches.
It’s just incredibly timely.
Several things here..
1. The Deep State KNEW Biden's mental decline would be exposed in the debate to get rid of him.
2. Kamala did WHAT SHE WAS TOLD. She couldn't ALLOW NUTHIN!
3. It's very nice of you, Sasha, to wish the best for Joe Biden but because of the damage he's done, the sweet virtue you've shown is difficult for many.
Good piece, Sasha, and please be safe on your travels!
Much love to you! ❤️
He had the cancer for years!
Even Zeke Emmanuel (brother of Rahm, bid democrat donor, oncologist) said he had this cancer at least 5 years to spread to the bone
It’s all just more democrat lies
Prostate cancer can have different levels of aggresiveness.
Even the most aggressive ones don’t move fast in 80 year old
Well, if he didn't have symptoms, it may not have been diagnosed.
Blood test is done routinely on men 60 and over at annual physical. It’s as standard as measuring cholesterol
I’m a retired nurse, this “sudden diagnosis” is utter BS
I think you long ago got to the point known as "blinded by hate". You seem to routinely engage in Reverse Engineering in order to justify hate, indicating a desideratum.

It's supposed to be diagnosed by the usual blood test.
has a 15% false negative rate
Because the exact same people who covered up Joe's mental impairment would definitely draw the line at covering up his cancer diagnosis. 🙄
Interesting and likely scenario.
Don’t forget the audio tape on Friday. That was devastating to all dems who defended it.
The cancer reveal is to ‘help’ explain the autopen. Trump & Co. are likely turning up the burners on this and D’s are scrambling for an explanation.
Not sure how the cancer story helps with the autopen situation. But you are correct, the autopen is a real disaster for the Biden team and the Dems since it is likely it was used to sign most legislation and EOs without the awareness / knowledge of the elected President.

We were robbed- mafia style
Exactly. Well stated.
I think Jill was de facto el Presidente
I hope the burners are well calibrated and I suspect the WH is being very smart about taking them out. Jesus I hope so. I have felt exactly the same about this as you have written. Well done. I think I have been too pissed off to write it out. Lo, it keeps getting wider and deeper.
My sentiments exactly.
Nice insight, Matt.
Um, trump used the auto pen also.

I agree.
This is the only rational explanation to what we just lived through for 4 years.
Wong .
He was always an incompetent fool.
The joke was suppose to be on us.
Well said. I wonder if we will ever find out the truth! I don’t think it could get any worse!
I think many will try to figure this out. I think we're all, really--all the time--trying to figure out who has been running that show. It's possible that there hasn't been just one mastermind, but many powers and forces at work-- the angel of light behind all of them. One thing we do know: they are ever working to destroy.
We must stay awake and vigilant, having learned so many lessons over the past eight -plus years. We cannot afford to fall asleep again and expect others to do the fighting for us.
May Joe Biden live long and die of something other than cancer.
But I refuse to take my eyes off the scandal, including the near-certain cover-up of the cancer itself!
Nor do I accept the lines about his generosity and dignity.
Did he know how to be civil when it suited his purposes? Of course. So did Tony Soprano.
But he has always been an arrogant, bloviating, vengeful, lying, creepy, corrupt wreck of a human being.
My husband likes to say of him: a "sticky-fingered senescent old boob who couldn't manage a two-car funeral."
But Biden isn’t even the story. The cover-up is, and now they’re left with no place to hide.
The Hur tape along with Tapper’s book and media mea culpa’s about “how did we miss that?”, and then blaming the Whitehouse staff, have put the real question front and center: Who was running the country for those 4 years!
THAT’S the story.
And… Biden having cancer and undergoing secret prostate cancer treatments (like Sec. of Defense Lloyd Austin did) would be a perfect explanation down the line for why surrogates needed to keep the country ‘safe and running’. We lied for the good of the American people!
The noble lie.
The Left believes that all their lies are noble.
No doubt!
Too bad! Hang 'em by the neck for treason.
They’ve been left with no place to hide for over 10 years now. They don t care. Actually It’s worse. They love to advertise their loathsome ways For all to see.
Worst government ever . Nobody will beat them
Thank God for President Donald J Trump

The bone metastases on their own would have been harder to detect. An old friend of mine, who never went to the doctor for routine tests, was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer; the very first symptom was that he broke his femur during a fall off a ladder. The bone metastases had weakened his bones. He started treatment for the prostate cancer but it was already too late and he passed away a year later.
The PSA test is unreliable because it gives many false positives: claiming cancer when there really isn't any, so people undergo biopsies and other procedures for no reason.
But the PSA test has only a 15% chance of false negatives, not detecting a cancer when it does exist. That alone would have made it less likely that prostrate cancer would have been undetected.
I delayed taking the PSA test for years because of its false positive rate but changed my mind because I'd rather risk that than not detecting a real case.
ONLY 15% - 1 in 6
Exactly, 5 out of 6 times a PSA negative is correct.
Such odds!
Sounds like high odds to me since I have had a couple things happen to me that were 1 in 500.
One PSA test does not mean all that much. There needs to be a baseline and associated trend line.
My theory is that he wanted to stay in, win reelection and then announce cancer and instill Kamala as president
All this looks like treason to me, and it should to any rational person
Biden’s entire 50 year political career was based on lies
To hell with that disgusting man and everyone who participated in the fraud that was his "presidency"
The cynicism of the timing of the announcement of Biden's cancer removes any sympathy I might have had for him... The Biden's are truly awful people...
Sorry, I'm going to reserve my "empathy" for the American people, not The Biden Crime Family.
I agree completely. FJB. F the whole Biden family. Trump is gold. I am glad he had four years to figure out the win on this. Let's support him.
There's a way to view this more charitably.
The same group of cretins that hijacked the Presidency are trying to use poor, demented Joe one last time, literally wringing the last drops of his usefulness to them out of his failing body before they relegate him to hospice care and an eventual ignominious death. Regardless of what Joe deserves, these mendicants cannot be allowed to use him as a shield from accountability. It's not about a lack of sympathy , it's an attempt to stop the people who have abused him from doing it again right in front of our faces.
I sort of agree, but sort of not. Your comment implies Joe and Jill are not, ultimately, calling the shots, which is incorrect in my view. I see the timing of the prostate news as their last desperate attempt to regain control of the narrative. But yeah, the party apparatus is seeking to use the story to shield the both the Bidens and the Dems from accountability. That cannot be allowed to happen.
Point of order: My comment does not imply that Jill's not calling the shots.
As far as Joe's role, I'm not implying anything. I'm asserting that most of the decisions coming out of the White House during his term were not made by him, and may even have been made without his knowledge.
He gave us his word "as a Biden" that he wouldn't issue the thick sheaf of pardons that flew off his desk in the last days of his Presidency. Those pardons need to be reviewed to determine whether he intended to grant them.
An elemental distillation of the character of Mr. Biden would reveal that this man is a coward — subject to moral cowardice, personal cowardice, ethical cowardice — and his survival instincts are always his first priority. The man is damaged goods!
That word describes him very well. A ne'er do well who made his way to the top of the nation by making himself a useful pawn to those who are more courageous, even if also evil
Let’s go Brandon!
Yet another transparent, failed manipulation on the part of the Democrats, intending to make us "look here, not there."
And give me a break about the "thoughts and prayers" everyone on tv is spewing today. Political correctness be damned. Ask the families of the hundreds of thousands of people who were killed by fentanyl and murdered by illegals' violence if they have any prayers for the POS who made it all possible.
Exactly! I may extend condolences, but I would never ascribe to him the flowery language and boo-hoos they are saying and printing!
My favorite quote from the debate was when Trump said, I don’t know what he was talking about and neither does he.
Or ... "You did beat Medicare .. you beat it to death!"
And then there’s poor Jake Tapper who will not make his bazillion dollars on his book because the elite are dangling a shiny object in the opposite direction.
Joe Biden has had more than his share of tragedy in is life but he has also shamelessly exploited these tragic events for political gain. He repeatedly lied about the car accident that killed his first wife and young daughter by claiming that the driver of the truck involved in the accident was drunk. He wasn't. Biden's accusations were needlessly cruel.
He also lied about the death of his son Beau, claiming he "lost his son in Iraq". Beau died at home in Delaware of a brain tumor. There is no evidence that Beau's service in Iraq caused his death.
Unfortunately the Biden family is not above exploiting the basic decency of people, and the sympathy that they extend in times of tragedy, for their own benefit
Remember--in his medical past, is that he blew a head gasket--twice! They say when a brain is operated on, you're never the same. Although, in his case--almost anything would be an improvement...
First, I'm sorry you're in Barstow, the armpit of America. What's worse is if you have to suffer that drive on I-15 to Vegas, the absolute worst stretch of concrete some fool designed to let 6 million cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles/minute fight to get nowhere worthwhile.
Avoid it at all costs. Do not take your life in your hands by letting some illegal run you over.
Second, keep up the fantastic work. America needs your voice of reason and sanity.
