The Bidens' Health Announcement: A Strategic Move?

Washington DC, USATue May 20 2025
The recent news about Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis has sparked a lot of discussion. Many people are wondering why this information was shared now. Especially since doctors are confused about how this could have been missed earlier. Biden is no longer in office, so he doesn't have to share his health details with the public. Yet, his family chose to reveal this just days after some important tapes were leaked and a book about Biden's mental decline was released. This timing makes some people think that the announcement was made to shift attention away from these other topics. This situation is not just about Joe Biden. It's also about the people around him who tried to keep his health issues secret. Even within the White House, his decline was hidden. The Democratic Party leaders, both in and out of office, went along with this. So did most of the media. This means a large part of the country's leaders decided it was okay to lie about the president's health. Even though many Americans thought Biden was too old for the job by the end of 2021. Back in April 2022, someone pointed out that Biden's decline was obvious to everyone except the press. The headline at the time was "Biden's decline is obvious to everyone but the press. " This was a year and a half before a special counsel interviewed Biden and described him as a "well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. " The tapes from this interview show that the counsel was being very kind. Even though Democrats criticized him at the time. The denial continued until the first debate made it impossible to keep pretending. This week, a book was set to reveal the whole story. Even though one of the co-authors was once a big part of the lies. At some point, Congress needs to look into why the 25th Amendment wasn't used. Democrats need to think about how their leaders' attempts to deceive the public almost led to a second Trump term. The media also needs to admit that they either missed the story or ignored it. They also attacked those who were telling the truth.
