Michael Goodwin: Dems’ cover-up of Biden’s mental, physical decline is a bombshell of bad news – and it’s going from bad to worse

A favorite Lily Tomlin line was made for this moment: “No matter how cynical you get, it is impossible to keep up.” 

She could have been talking about the Biden White House. 

Those of us who were long convinced that aides were hiding the president’s cognitive decline weren’t cynical enough.

We also needed to believe they were hiding other serious ailments, such as prostate cancer. 

Hmm, what else didn’t we suspect that we should have? 

Whatever it is, the odds are soaring that we are going to find out.

The announcement of his advanced cancer follows the release of the recording of the former president’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur. 

Together, they amount to a bombshell of bad news for Biden and his party. 

The interview, about the stash of classified documents he kept, electrified Washington because it revealed how bumbling and incoherent Biden was back in October 2023, 16 months before he left office, meaning we had a president unfit for duty for at least that long. 

And to think he was then still seeking re-election and was effectively tied with Donald Trump.

Gallup found that 75% of Democrats supported him.

Joe Biden’s Cabinet Meetings Were Scripted, Used Cameras Creatively to Cover Mistakes

The hits just keep coming for Joe Biden’s presidency and the Democrat party.

One of the details in Jake Tapper’s book, which came out today, is that Biden’s cabinet meetings were scripted, meaning that they were little more than theater. People in these meetings were more like actors than government officials. They also reportedly used cameras to cover any mistakes.

If this is accurate, it basically means that Biden’s presidency was almost completely fake.

From The Hill:

Tapper and Thompson also reported Biden increasingly relied on teleprompters and note cards even for private discussions like Cabinet meetings.

“Before these meetings, White House staff called the various departments and agencies to figure out what they were going to ask the president so that answers could be prepared. The conversations were largely scripted, even after the press had left the room,” the authors reported…

When a group would ask Biden to record a five-minute address for keynoting an event, the White House usually responded that the video would be one to two minutes, Tapper and Thompson report. But Biden still struggled with that.

“To compensate for that, aides filmed Biden with two cameras instead of one. If Biden messed up, the edit was less obvious with a jump cut,” they reported. “Other politicians use jump-cuts, but Biden aides noted to themselves how much more often they had to use them for the president.”

Chicago priest accused of molesting kids makes bombshell claim against Pope Leo

A defrocked priest who was accused of sexually abusing at least 13 children has made a bombshell claim against the new pope. 

Robert Prevost, who was named the new head of the Vatican earlier this month, has been accused of turning a blind eye to the Church’s sexual abuse scandal in Chicago when he served as the head of the Midwest Province of the Catholic Church’s Augustinian order.

Now, former priest James M Ray also claims Prevost signed off on his move to a Hyde Park monastery near a Catholic elementary school – despite the fact that Ray had already been accused of molesting children.

‘He’s the one who gave me permission to stay there,’ Ray recently told the Chicago Sun-Times. 

The priest is included on an Archdiocesan list of accused sexual offenders, which claims he was subject to ‘limited ministry with restrictions’ starting in 1990 following sexual abuse allegations.

Still, he worked for three parishes – and in 2000, the Archdiocese of Chicago stepped in to help him find a place to live where he would not pose a threat to the public.

However, they ultimately let Ray stay for two years at the St. John Stone Friary – which is less than one block from the St. Thomas the Apostle Elementary School and across the ally from a child care center. 

The school was never notified that Ray – who has never been convicted of any crime and is not included on any government sex offender registries – was moving into the area, and there is no indication that the child care center was notified either.

Top Democrat Doubles Down on the Biden Cover-Up

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is demanding everyone stop talking about one of the biggest political scandals of the century: President Joe Biden’s mental decline. He says it’s insensitive given Biden’s latest cancer diagnosis, a fresh scandal which was also covered up. 

Jeffries clearly doesn’t know what time it is. Doubling down on the cover up isn’t going to work. In fact, it’s making things much worse. 

Even the DC swamp bubble isn’t buying it anymore. From a top Axios story this morning: 

Biden’s cancer diagnosis draws sympathy — and suspicion.Former President Biden’s disclosure that he had Stage 4 prostate cancer was quickly met with sympathy late Sunday. By yesterday morning, the questions – from Democrats and Republicans alike – had begun, Axios’ Marc Caputo, Alex Thompson and Tal Axelrod write.

Why it matters: The timing of Biden’s announcement, coupled with the way his handlers tried to cover up his health issues in the past, fueled speculation about how long he’d known about the cancer.

People in both parties, whether they love Biden or despise him, wondered whether the announcement was timed to change the subject after a week of reports about his physical and mental deterioration when he was president.

Biden’s 2022 cancer ‘slip-up’ that was downplayed by White House resurfaces after ex-president’s surprise diagnosis

Former President Joe Biden’s heartbreaking prostate cancer diagnosis has drawn renewed attention to his 2022 slip-up in which he claimed to have had cancer during a public speech.

Biden’s alarming comments came during a speech about emissions from oil refineries near his childhood home in Claymont, Del., and which he appeared to blame for his cancer.

“That’s why I and so damn many other people I grew up with have cancer and why for the longest time Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation,” Biden said during his 2022 remarks about global warming at Brayton Power Station in Somerset, Massachusetts.

Biden’s use of the present tense “have” raised eyebrows at the time, but former White House spokesperson Andrew Bates referred The Post to Washington Post fact-check honcho Glenn Kessler, who suggested it was a reference to “non-melanoma skin cancers.”

“Check out Biden’s medical report. Before he became president, he’d had non-melanoma skin cancers removed,” Kessler posted on X at the time in response to consternation about Biden’s cancer comment.

Trump Suggests Biden’s Cancer Diagnosis Is Part Of A Bigger Coverup

President Trump noted Monday that there could be a more encompassing scandal behind Joe Biden’s sudden diagnosis of advanced cancer. 

During an open briefing in the Oval Office, the president suggested that an investigation should be conducted into how Biden’s cancer could have gone undetected for so long.

“If it’s the same doctor who said there was nothing wrong there, that’s being proven to be a sad situation,” Trump stated.

He added, “In other words, there are things going on that the public wasn’t informed. And I think somebody is going to have to speak to his doctor, if it’s the same or even if it’s two separate doctors.”

“Why wasn’t the cognitive ability — why wasn’t that discussed?” Trump continued, adding “I think the doctors said he’s just fine, and it’s turned out that’s not so.”

“It’s very dangerous. Look, this is no longer politically correct. This is dangerous for our country,” the President urged.

From all accounts, if this diagnosis is to be believed, Biden must have had cancer before he entered office in 2021.

Media Ignored Biden’s Health After Spending Years Obsessing Over Trump’s

It’s become fairly obvious that for four years under Joe Biden, the United States was subjected to a puppet presidency in which its commander-in-chief was out to lunch on major policy initiatives enacted by unknown officials within his administration. And for four years, this unelected oligarchy was permitted to exercise its will with virtually no critical oversight from America’s legacy media, whose newfound interest in the subject is only now happening because some of their biggest hacks have a book to sell.

While these left-wing propagandists want Americans to believe their sudden coverage of Biden’s decline proves their credibility, it’s actually an indictment of it — especially when contrasting their years-long silence to how they fomented worries about Donald Trump’s health.

Throughout his first administration, the media relentlessly pushed conspiracy-laden articles and “questions” about Trump’s physical and mental fitness to serve as president.

In February 2017, Forbes ran an article by then-contributor Emily Willingham highlighting an online petition signed by tens of thousands of self-professed “mental health professionals.” Started by a former Johns Hopkins psychologist, the petition and its signatories — whom Willingham admits have “not been confirmed” to be actual “mental health professionals” — declared without evidence that Trump “manifests a serious mental illness that renders him psychologically incapable of competently discharging the duties of President of the United States” and asked that “he be removed from office” under the 25th Amendment.

Shameless Liar Hakeem Jeffries Accuses Republicans of Pushing ‘Conspiracy Theories’ When Asked if Democrats Were Dishonest About Biden’s Health

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries spun an astounding lie while speaking to the press today.

A reporter asked Jeffries, “Given the revelations with Biden’s cancer diagnosis, and the release of the Hur recording, why were Democrats not more open to talking about President Biden’s age in 2024?”

Not only does Jeffries not answer the question, he completely ignores it.

First, he talks about thoughts and prayers for Joe Biden. Then he launches into a ridiculous rant about how cruel Republicans are spreading conspiracy theories.

To make matters worse, he then advances fake news about Republicans cutting healthcare for Americans.

Democrats and the media used to call Joe Biden’s diminished mental state a conspiracy theory. How did that work out?

You know what’s very telling about this clip? There is no mainstream media reportage on it. None. Zero. Why do you suppose that is? Could it be because the media knows that every single thing Jeffries says here is pure deflection or an outright lie?

What Joe Biden’s Cancer Can (And Should) Teach Us About The Media

Last night the news broke that former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer, which has already metastasized to his bones.

The conversation has gone in two predictable directions.

On the one hand you have the predictable “out pouring of support” from fans of Team Blue, “liberal” journalists and celebrities.

On the other hand you have cynical commentary from Team Red, questioning the timing of the announcement and wondering how someone with such a high profile and (presumably) first class medical care could have cancer missed until such a late stage.

A third, quieter, option is to suggest a connection between this cancer and the Covid “vaccine”.

(A possibility I reject out of hand, because I don’t believe there is any chance at all he was really given the experimental shot.)

But all of these conversations miss the point.

The question is not “what caused Biden’s cancer?” or “why did they cover up Biden’s cancer?” it’s “why are they telling us Biden has cancer?”

Remember, the same media reporting “Biden has cancer” spent months reporting “Biden doesn’t have dementia” and “Biden’s as sharp as ever”, despite plain evidence to the contrary.

They lied. Over and and over again, for years. 

They quite literally told you to disregard the evidence of your eyes and ears.

Until they stopped, and suddenly Joe Biden’s “mental decline” was no longer a conspiracy theory, but totally real and the reason to put Kamala Harris on the ballot.

Joe Biden’s mental acuity did not change, all that changed was the requirement of the narrative.

Media reportage has no correlation with the truth.

Doctors say it’s ‘inconceivable’ Biden’s cancer went undetected by his medical team — as Trump Jr. questions if diagnosis is ‘cover-up’

Several doctors have said it’s “inconceivable” that former President Joe Biden’s aggressive form of prostate cancer went undetected by his medical team — as first son Don Trump Jr. even questioned whether the health diagnosis was part of a “cover-up.”

The 82-year-old former president was diagnosed Friday after doctors found a “small nodule” on his prostate during a medical exam earlier this month — with the cancer cells having spread to the bone, his spokesman revealed Sunday.

His team said the cancer had been graded a Gleason score of 9, suggesting his form was among the most aggressive.

A handful of medical experts were quick to question how the former president could be diagnosed at such a late stage — especially given that prostate cancer can be detected early with routine bloodwork, which is recommended for men over the age of 50.

“It is inconceivable that this was not being followed before he left the Presidency,” Dr. Howard Formman said in a post on X.

“Gleason grade 9 would have had an elevated PSA level for some time before this diagnosis. And he must have had a PSA test numerous times before. This is odd,” he added. “I wish him well and hope he has an opportunity for maximizing his quality of life.”

Dr. Steven Quay flagged similar concerns, saying Biden’s type of cancer is the easiest to diagnose when it first starts and progresses.
