The Issue: Skepticism around former President Joe Biden’s recent prostate cancer diagnosis.
While I profoundly disagree with basically everything former President Joe Biden stood for, I do offer my prayers regarding his current medical condition (“Prostate test last taken in ’14: rep,” May 21).
People discussing this on a nonstop basis must realize that Biden, like the rest of us, is protected by HIPAA laws.
His condition is no one’s business, so we need to knock off the nonsense of when he knew about it.
Never miss a chance to mind your own business. Let it go, and pray for the best for him.

An unholy alliance of lying DC Democrats and their corrupt media flunkies covered up the obvious, dramatic decline of former President Biden.
They stayed silent, as a clearly enfeebled commander-in-chief cluelessly meandered from one highly staged event to another.
Meanwhile, on their collective watch, we witnessed a disastrous, deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan and two raging regional wars.
This unprecedented American political scandal is a borderline treasonous betrayal of trust that must be punished.
Democratic politicians who kept quiet should, at the very least, be removed from office. Reporters who played along should lose their jobs.

A lot of the same people who claimed COVID wouldn’t survive the warm weather are now experts on prostate cancer, apparently.
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer 15 years ago.
My doctor, after successive blood tests, noticed my prostate-specific antigen (PSA) score slowly going up.
Over a few years, it got to the point where he recommended, but didn’t insist, on a biopsy.
The first result was inconclusive.
A second test was recommended, but not ordered, by Johns Hopkins.
That test came back positive.
I share this because there’s a lot of jumping to conclusions.
Yes, Biden may have had cancer for years.
But his biopsy, ordered only after the doctor felt a hard spot, is a totally normal sequence of events.
My doctor had told me prostate cancer is usually, but not always, slow-growing.
So, to those armchair MDs: Don’t trash Joe Biden simply because you hate the man.

Yes, Biden has had prostate cancer for a while.
Yes, he is in a mental and physical decline.
But, had he resigned as president, former Vice President Kamala Harris would have assumed the job; think about that fact.
So maybe there was a coverup, but at least we were spared Kamala.

I’m not a fan of Joe Biden; he was the worst president in this country’s history.
But I don’t wish cancer on him or anyone else.
However, if anyone is aghast at the timing of his cancer diagnosis, I refer you to this quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt: “In politics, nothing happens by accident.”
So all of us should take this announcement with a huge grain of salt, because it was meant to distract everybody from discussing his mental decline and the fact that he was incapable of running the country. He was effectively running the country into the ground.

If former President Biden’s PSA blood test was being monitored as it should have been, PSA velocity — the rate at which the PSA rises — would have been noted.
Even relatively small, gradual increases can be significant in terms of generating the need for a biopsy to detect possible cancer.
The earlier the biopsy, the less chance of high-grade, high-stage metastatic cancer.
The public is entitled to know if Biden’s PSA velocity was monitored and the extent of surveillance utilized.

All the world wants to know is: Who the hell was really running the country while Biden was physically and mentally unable to?
This is the greatest constitutional crisis America has faced in its 248-year history.
We need an answer, and need it fast.
