Jill Biden's role propping up Joe through his presidency can't be ignored as questions over his cancer diagnosis swirl
As the anatomy of the great Joe Biden cover-up emerges, one dark figure stands menacingly taller than the rest.
That would be Vogue cover girl Dr. Jill Biden, who is starting to look more like Dr. Evil — a cartoonishly terrible, power hungry and reckless movie villain — every day.
This week, as Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's devastating book 'Original Sin' detailing the Dem's elaborate cover up of the 46th President's infirmity as he ran — or, ahem, as he was run — for a second shot at the White House, Biden dropped a bombshell prostate cancer diagnosis.

The timing was undoubtedly meant to shift sympathy to the family and soften the atomic boom of the scandal.

While terribly sad, the stage of the disease and timing of the disclosure has only raised more questions and opened up more rabbit holes.

As many top doctors have said, his particular numbers suggested something more alarming: Biden has likely been battling cancer for a long time.
Yet during the 2024 race, many in the White House and the media closed ranks around him, telling us that he was 'cogent' or that his age was his 'superpower,' as the LA Times wrote.
A farce made possible only with the help of Jill, who kept the show going to the detriment of her husband and the country.

That Trump DOJ official Leo Terrell even suggested the former First Lady face criminal charges for 'elder abuse.'
Jill betrayed her duty not only to her husband but the American voters to pull the plug on the elaborate and terrible charade that the man was not only fit, he was running circles around the youngins'.
Meanwhile, he wasn't capable of running bingo night at the community center, never mind being the leader of the free world.
That guy should have been licking vanilla ice cream cones and telling his grandkids war stories about Corn Pop out on the back porch.

The former president, like any human, deserved dignity. But because of Jill and the party's greed, her husband will be not be remembered as a once vigorous politician with the gift of gab — and a bizarre penchant for sniffing hair. Our lasting image of him will instead be of a confused and doddering old man.

And she has been there every step of the way – holding the controls.
She propped up a sick man she vowed to love and cherish, so she and their ne'er do well son could remain physically close to the hand of power and the DC gravy train that kept their bank accounts flush.
Apparently, her tastes are acquired.
In 'Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,' released last month the authors described Jill's reluctance to join the Beltway gaggle. She reportedly discouraged her husband from running for president in 2004.
However, 'after eight years as the second lady and nearly two more as the first lady, the trappings of the most elite levels of Washington power had grown on her,' wrote the authors.

Once there, she received the celebratory coddling that is reserved for Dems and their spouses: fawning fashion profiles, magazine covers and a slobbering press corps demanding the world refer to her as doctor.
But need we play shocked about Tapper and Thompson's revelations? We knew. And we knew they knew. Anyone with a pulse could see that Biden was not only diminished but decaying before our very eyes.
He was shuffling, falling, toppling over on his bike. When asked for comment in 2023 as Maui burned into an apocalyptic movie set, he offered 'no comment' to those poor souls who lost everything.
We saw Jill lead her empty husk of a husband off the debate stage as she slipped into her patronizing teacher voice and addressed the president like he was a toddler learning his colors and numbers.

6 In August 2021, Jill Biden was featured on the cover of Vogue.
'Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question,' she said. Two weeks ago, she was even his companion on the 'The View,' which underscored his need for a chaperone and her own appetite for the spotlight.
Tapper has caught a lot of well-deserved heat for writing his book so soon after preserving the lie that Biden was just a sympathetic figure battling a stutter.
That ol' chestnut.

But his reporting has provided even more disturbing specifics. Biden's 'halting walk' had become so bad 'there were internal discussions about putting the president in a wheelchair, but they couldn't do so until after the election,' read an excerpt.
It's possible to wish Biden well, pray for his comfort, his strength and his body to respond well to treatment. But one cannot separate the role his inner circle and family played in trying to play the American people.

Throughout her public career, former First Lady Jill regularly relied on the word 'compassion,' sprinkling it throughout her speeches.

And in her 2020 DNC address she said her husband can heal the nation, 'with love and understanding – and with small acts of compassion.'
Ironically, she has been unable to offer that very same compassion to her own ailing husband.

CIEE BridgeUSA Celebration Tour To Highlight How International Exchange Makes America Safer, Stronger, and More Prosperous
Summerlong American roadshow kicks off in June 2025 with stops at top BridgeUSA employers Cedar Point, Kings Island, and Kentucky Kingdom SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) will travel to Ohio and Kentucky next week to begin a summerlong celebration of U.S. Department of State's BridgeUSA international exchange programs that make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous. The celebration kicks off June 8-11 with events honoring top employers who host BridgeUSA Summer Work Travel participants in the heartland of America. The BridgeUSA program brings international college students to live and work in the United States during their summer break, helping American businesses across America expand and extend the summer season. Cedar Point and Kings Island, both based in Ohio; and Kentucky Kingdom, based in Kentucky, will be recognized for their success creating meaningful cultural exchange for both BridgeUSA Summer Work Travel participants and their American teammates. These organizations are just three of the 4,000+ businesses, large and small, across the United States that each year host BridgeUSA participants who positively impact their American host employers and host communities in many ways, including increasing economic prosperity for local businesses and injecting more than $1.2 billion overall into the national U.S. economy. "The BridgeUSA program brings in associates from around the world who create amazing experiences for our guests," said Kaitlin Wattrick, recruiting manager at Cedar Point. "Beyond the park, it enriches our community by fostering cultural exchange and building lasting connections that extend far beyond the summer season." BridgeUSA Makes America Safer and Stronger BridgeUSA programs bolster America's national security and strengthen America's public diplomacy by fostering mutual respect between Americans and people of other nations. BridgeUSA participants return home and spread word of their positive experience in the United States which improves the American image abroad and makes our country safer. BridgeUSA Makes America More Prosperous Most importantly, BridgeUSA participants enable local economies to prosper by extending the tourism season, allowing businesses to employ more Americans for a longer seasonal period, and allowing hundreds of local businesses—from laundromats to general stores, from local diners to grocery stores—to extend the duration of their peak-season sales surge, compounding the positive economic impact in each community. "BridgeUSA provides a significant economic benefit to thousands of American businesses and communities around the United States," said Martine Mangion, Senior Vice President, Inbound Exchange Programs at CIEE. "Many seasonal businesses are able to continue to support domestic jobs in their slow season thanks to the support from the BridgeUSA Summer Work Travel participants who businesses host during their busy season. Some of our hosts are able to stay open an additional 30-45 days longer than they would have without BridgeUSA participants. In addition, BridgeUSA participants spend their wages in the local community and across the country when they travel." "The BridgeUSA exchange programs are the perfect definition of a government program that makes America safer, stronger, and more prosperous," said James P. Pellow, Ed.D., President and CEO of CIEE. "International students pay their way to come to America, they make American businesses more profitable while they are here, and then they return to their home countries with a deeper knowledge and respect for American culture and American values, including the power of democracy and free speech. If BridgeUSA did not exist, we would need to invent it, as it truly enriches all Americans." Additional CIEE BridgeUSA Celebration events are scheduled for Wyoming, Montana, Texas, and South Carolina.

Hot Springs locals react to human trafficking investigation at massage business
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – AI Massage in Hot Springs is under investigation by the Attorney General's Office for alleged prostitution and human trafficking. People who live and work in Hot Springs, like Hannah and Cole Carey, said they can't believe something like this was happening in their city. 'It's really just shocking to me that it's so close to home,' Hannah Carey said. Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin announces organized retail crime bust & human trafficking investigation Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin said a May 22 raid on AI Massage on Central Avenue stemmed from information gathered during previous investigations into other massage parlors busted for illicit sexual activity. According to Griffin, three Chinese nationals were identified as victims and are now receiving support services. One woman told investigators she responded to an online job ad in China and did not know she would be doing sex work. 'It kind of hits you hard, just makes you feel bad for them, thinking about what else they went through,' Cole Carey said. Griffin said investigators uncovered evidence pointing to sexual activity. 'Illicit sexual activity, prostitution going on in these massage parlors. We not only talked to the victims to confirm it, there were about 100 condoms there, which normally would not be at a spa,' Griffin said, 'There was what we believe to be a home remedy used to treat sexually transmitted infections, also implying that sexual activity is going on.' Authorities also recovered $22,000 in American cash along with some foreign currency. Griffin said no arrests have been made yet because the individuals believed to be running the operation were not there during the raid. However, he said law enforcement is following every lead. 'I'm grateful to law enforcement who have been on top of this and trying to get to the bottom of it,' said Tina Haney, another Hot Springs local. 'It's disappointing to have this going on right under our noses and not even realize it.' Arkansas Attorney General announces grant to combat human trafficking in Arkansas The massage parlor under investigation is open today. KARK 4 News went there to ask for a comment, but the people there said their boss wasn't there and declined to comment. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

California Dem doubts someone from their state could win presidency since they're thought of as 'crazy people'
California Democrats at their annual state convention had mix feelings about whether someone from their state could win on a national level after former Vice President Kamala Harris lost in 2024. Delegates convened over the weekend with guests to induct new members and plan for the 2026 election season. Although Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom have both been seen as potential 2028 Democratic presidential contenders, neither appeared at the convention, with Harris only addressing the convention via video. The convention largely avoided discussions about the 2028 election, with at least one delegate wondering if a liberal Californian could win on the national stage at all. California Democrats Uncertain About Kamala Harris' Potential Run For Governor "I don't know if a California Democrat can win a presidential election," delegate Jane Baulch-Enloe told the Los Angeles Times. "California is thought of as the crazy people... I don't mean that in a bad way — though I know some people do — but we do things differently here." Baulch-Enloe instead insisted California Democrats first need to "get people on our side and help them understand that we aren't just wacko liberals and teach people that it's okay to want things" like higher wages or universal healthcare. Read On The Fox News App Other attendees, such as Asian American Pacific Islander caucus leader Aref Aziz, argued that Democrats need to have a clearer perspective and message on the economy if they want to win more elections. "When you look at a lot of our economies, California and New York, by all accounts, GDP, the numbers that you look at, they're doing great," Aziz said. "But when it comes to the cost that consumers are paying in these places, they're so high and so far above other countries that we end up diminishing whatever value there is in our GDP, because everything's so expensive." However, not all delegates believed California's liberal policies would be a hindrance to future elections. Laura: Courtesy Of Horrid Liberal Policies, California In A Metaphoric Sense, Has Been Burning For Decades "People like to point a finger somewhere, and I think California is an easy target, but I disagree," delegate Melissa Taylor told the LA Times. "Because I think that California is standing up for values that the Democratic Party believes in, like we believe in labor, we believe in healthcare, we believe in women's rights, we believe in rights for LGBTQ people." Jodi Hicks, the president of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, added that Harris' loss was prompted by multiple "unique" factors, including her short three-month campaign, rather than politics. However, she agreed Democrats need "to walk and chew gum at the same time" when it comes to promoting liberal policies and helping the economy.
