First, let’s say what should be said: cancer is brutal. No matter the person or politics, a diagnosis of aggressive, metastatic prostate cancer is devastating. President Biden is a husband, a father, and a human being.
No one should go through this lightly, and anyone with a shred of decency should extend basic compassion to him and his family as they face this battle.
But that human sympathy must not excuse institutional deception.
Because while the President now fights a very real and serious illness, the American people are left to confront an even more insidious disease: deliberate dishonesty from those in power.
They told us he was fine. Not just “managing” – but vigorous, “fit for duty,” “in excellent health.”
They trotted out tightly managed medical memos, sanitized press briefings, and glowing editorials parroting that he was sharper than ever. The facts, we now know, paint a different picture: Biden is battling advanced cancer. Cancer that doesn’t appear overnight. Cancer that most certainly would have had signs during the period we were repeatedly told he was doing great.
So what happened?
Either his physicians missed one of the most detectable male cancers during regular exams – or they, along with the administration, knowingly misled the public.
And given how tightly choreographed this presidency has been, no serious person believes it was ignorance. This was orchestration. It was suppression of the truth, not just by the White House, but by a media class determined to protect a re-election narrative at all costs.
Let’s be honest: if this had been a Republican president, especially one named Trump, the press would’ve lit itself on fire.
Medical experts would flood prime time. Op-eds would demand impeachment or the invoking of the 25th Amendment. Questions about fitness would dominate every cycle.
But because it’s Biden, the coverage is muted. Sanitized. Framed as “a new chapter” or “a hurdle” instead of what it really is: proof that the American people were lied to about the condition of their Commander-in-Chief.
This wasn’t just about politics – it was about power. Maintaining it, preserving it, and controlling the public narrative no matter the cost.
This is the legacy of corruption that is becoming all too familiar with today’s Democrat party.
And while Biden deserves compassion as a man facing a terrible disease, the presidency is not a private matter. It is a public trust. This deception affects national security, economic confidence, global diplomacy, and constitutional stability.
The stakes are not abstract – they’re real, and they are high.
We’ve watched, for years, as the signs piled up: the vacant stares, the stumbles, the whispered coaching, the avoidant schedule.
They told us not to believe our own eyes. And that asking questions was mean-spirited or conspiratorial. Now, the truth is out – and they want to pretend it came out of nowhere.
It didn’t. They hid it. They buried it. We were gaslit. And now they hope we’ll just move on.
But we shouldn’t. Because this wasn’t just a medical cover-up. It was a breach of trust.
The American people were denied critical information about the health of their president – information that could have shaped elections, policies, and preparedness. That’s not compassion. That’s corruption.
So yes, pray for Joe Biden the man. But demand accountability from Joe Biden the president – and from every enabler who helped craft and sustain this lie.
Because if they were willing to hide this, what else have they decided we don’t need to know?
Truth matters. And when those in power choose narrative over honesty, they don’t just insult us – they endanger us. And we will remember.
