They told us he was fine. Fit. Focused. Capable of leading the most powerful nation on Earth for four more years. Now we learn Joe Biden is battling metastatic, high-grade prostate cancer—discovered just months after the White House and its media lapdogs paraded around his “vigorous good health” like it was gospel truth. The real story? We were lied to. Again.
Let’s start with what the public was told. In February 2023, the White House released a medical summary from Walter Reed Medical Center declaring President Biden “a healthy, vigorous 80-year-old male.” The document noted minor ailments—sleep apnea, acid reflux, and peripheral neuropathy in the feet—but assured us there was no cause for concern. In February 2024, they said essentially the same thing. “Fit for duty.” “No signs of neurological disease.” All that jazz.
Fast forward just three months—and the picture couldn’t be more different. Biden’s doctors now say he has an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, one of the most serious developments imaginable in geriatric oncology. The cancer’s Gleason score? A 9 out of 10—indicative of an advanced, high-grade disease. This didn’t materialize overnight. And no honest physician will tell you it’s common for such an advanced stage of cancer to go completely unnoticed for two years, especially in a patient undergoing regular checkups.
