Trump Shares Post Calling Biden a 'Decrepit Corpse' Days After His Stage 4 Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
President Donald Trump continued attacking his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, over Memorial Day weekend. The president shared a Truth Social post from a MAGA loyalist who wrote that Democrats "stole the 2020 election and hijacked the country using a decrepit corpse as a frontman." The post came just hours after Trump used his own Memorial Day post to take aim at the Biden administration, and days after Biden announced his stage 4 cancer diagnosis. Donald Trump's attacks on Joe Biden continued over Memorial Day weekend as the president reposted a spiteful threat on his social media account. On his Truth Social page on Monday, May 26, Trump reshared a text post from a user known as DC Draino, a right-wing content creator who was recently included in one of the Trump White House's MAGA-only press briefings. "They stole the 2020 election and hijacked the country using a decrepit corpse as a frontman," the post stated, repeating unfounded conspiracy theories about the Biden administration and the Democratic Party. "They used an autopen to start wars, steal from our treasury, and pardon their friends." It concluded, "Arrest those responsible and charge them with TREASON." The repost came just hours after Trump, 78, wrote his own Memorial Day message on Truth Social, where he did not pay tribute to U.S. veterans or praise active service members, but instead attacked Biden, 82, without addressing him by name. "HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS,' Trump wrote on Truth Social early Monday morning. The president went on to claim in all-caps that the Biden administration allowed millions of immigrants to "illegally enter our country, many of them being criminals and the mentally insane." And in the post, Trump also leveled blame for his current U.S. immigration concerns on "an incompetent president" and "judges who are on a mission to keep murderers, drug dealers, rapists, gang members and released prisoners from all over the world in our country so they can rob, murder and rape again." Trump then wrote, "HOPEFULLY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, AND OTHER GOOD AND COMPASSIONATE JUDGES THROUGHOUT THE LAND, WILL SAVE US FROM THE DECISIONS OF THE MONSTERS WHO WANT OUR COUNTRY TO GO TO HELL. BUT FEAR NOT, WE HAVE MADE GREAT PROGRESS OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS, AND AMERICA WILL SOON BE SAFE AND GREAT AGAIN!" Biden made a rare appearance with family over the holiday weekend, just one week after announcing that he's been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. "He was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone," Biden's office shared in a statement on May 18. "While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management. The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians."

Hours after Biden's diagnosis was shared, President Trump reacted to the news on social media. In a statement on Truth Social, Trump wished Biden a "successful recovery." "Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis," Trump wrote. "We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery." Read the original article on People

Mailbag: Anyone else want to start a Grandpa Brigade?
Kudos to the Grandma Brigade for protesting in front of the Costa Mesa Tesla showroom ('Grandma Brigade holds its first protest in Costa Mesa to 'stop the Musk takeover,' March 7). I'm sure the Raging Grannies of Spokane, Wash.; Eugene, Ore.; Madison, Wis. and other communities salute your efforts. Which begs the question: Where is the Grandpa Brigade? Because I am 76 and about to become a grandfather for the third time, I think it's safe to say I could easily qualify as a charter member. Who's with me? Denny FreidenrichLaguna Beach Is MAGA-only library book collection next? How many times does this need to be repeated? There are no pornographic or obscene books in the Huntington Beach Library children's department. It is illegal for book publishers to sell such books for children. Puberty books, books about the human body and sex education books are not pornography, no matter how many times the Huntington Beach City Council tries to convince people otherwise. Councilman Chad Williams claims the ACLU is stripping parents of their right to decide what is appropriate for their children, but this is what our council is doing. They want a 21-person committee of their choosing to have the ultimate say over what books can and cannot be ordered for the library. They want to restrict access to library books they find questionable to anyone under the age of 18. Censorship is censorship. The City Council is not letting parents decide for themselves. They are deciding for them. Although they had the option, they chose not to accept either library petition, one to do away with the review committee and the other to allow residents to vote before the library management can be outsourced. They claim they have no plans to move forward with outsourcing the library. If this is true, why didn't they accept the petition? Instead of waiting until the next general election, our council has chosen the most expensive option to fight against them. Our city will hold a special election, June 10, at the cost of at least $1 million. Our city is known to have low voter turnout for special elections. If residents love their library and their freedom to read freely, they need to vote in favor of the library petitions. This is just the beginning of the chipping away of residents' rights. If our council is allowed to continue their censorship of library materials and is given the freedom to outsource library management to a private company without resident approval, what will come next? Residents need to get out and vote. If you are upset now about a MAGA library plaque, wait until you have a MAGA-only library book collection. Barbara RichardsonHuntington Beach H.B. City Council's claims of voter fraud nonsense The Huntington Beach City Council claims that voting is unsecured. I say such claims are unfounded and problematic, and here is why: On Jan. 1, the Orange County Grand Jury published its report, 'Is Voting Integrity Alive and Well in Orange County?' On page 19, it states: 'The Grand Jury's analysis confirmed that the 2024 election maintained the highest level of integrity for OC voters.' The panel listed its findings: • 'There was no evidence of fraud or election interference ascertained in the 2024 general election in Orange County; • Voting in Orange County is fair, secure, and transparent;• The ROV communications and outreach programs promote transparency and public confidence in the voting process. Orange County eligible voters can feel secure in knowing that the ROV provided an election of the highest recognized standards.' Yet, despite these findings, the City Council continues to make unsupported allegations. Show us the data! If there is any, who published it? How many cases of voter fraud have been reported to the O.C. district attorney's office? On May 15, 2024, I heard Dist. Atty. Todd Spitzer address this issue at the office of the O.C. Registrar of Voters. He said that while many claim voter fraud has taken place, they do not provide evidence to that effect. Clearly, this council is talking nonsense about voter fraud! Now, they want to divert taxpayer funds to run city elections? Kathleen BungeHuntington Beach
