Megyn Kelly spoke to top urologist Dr. David Samadi about former President Joe Biden's shocking, aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis, who pointed to one part in the announcement that puts the timing into question.
During the Sirius XM "The Megyn Kelly Show" podcast, Kelly asked about comments made by oncologist Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, who said on "Morning Joe" that Biden's form of cancer doesn't just "develop in the last 100, 200 days."
Dr. Samadi not only agreed with Dr. Ezekiel that it likely wasn't just discovered, but said the comment in Biden's cancer statement, about it being "hormone sensitive," proves the diagnosis can't be new.
A "copy" of the Magna Carta, the medieval English document that has formed the basis of constitutions around the world, owned by Harvard Law School is actually an exceedingly rare original, British researchers said Thursday.
Experts from King's College London and the University of East Anglia (UEA) said the document, which the US institution acquired in the 1940s for $27.50, is just one of seven from King Edward I's issue of Magna Carta in 1300 that still survive.
Combat sport clubs have been used to boost recruitment for a white nationalist hate group, according to a report released by the legal advocacy organization Southern Poverty Law Center.
The report tracks the efforts of the Patriot Front — one of the most visible groups in the white nationalist movement, formed following the deadly 'Unite the Right' rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017 — and their focus on recruiting new members through Active Clubs.
A California building owner confronted the homeless encampments in downtown Los Angeles with an unusual musical deterrent.
While other businesses have taken to blasting loud music in front of their stores to prevent the homeless population from taking up space, one building owner turned to a repeat dose of playing Pinkfong’s “Baby Shark” through loudspeakers. [Tweet, video]
Tracy, a woman who lives in the encampment next door to the building, was not amused.
“They played ‘Baby Shark’ all night long,” Tracy, a woman who lives in an encampment next door to the building at the corner of West 11th and Main streets, told NBC4 Los Angeles.
"Dilbert" comic strip creator and author Scott Adams shared heartbreaking news about being diagnosed with the same prostate cancer as former President Joe Biden, explaining that he is only expected to live until maybe "this summer."
Speaking on his "Real Coffee with Scott Adams" podcast, the legendary cartoonist said that he has been diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer. It is the same aggressive form of prostate cancer that former President Joe Biden's team announced on Sunday that Biden was diagnosed with.
"Some of you have already guessed, so this won't surprise you at all," Adams said. "But I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested a Guatemalan illegal alien for submitting false statements to become a sponsor for two unaccompanied alien children. Among other things, the man submitted an “obviously photoshopped” photo to help establish a familial relationship to one of the boys.
ICE agents filed a criminal complaint in the District of New Jersey against Luciano Tinuar Quino for submitting false statements to gain custody of two unaccompanied alien children who illegally entered the U.S. in 2022. According to a statement from ICE officials, Tinuar Quino managed to gain custody of one of the children from the Biden administration’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).
Former FBI Director James Comey said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that he did not regret his “86 47” social media post because it was “clever” and an artistic political point of view that he admired.
Host Nicolle Wallace said, “Take me back to the walk on the beach.”
Comey said, “We were walking on the beach. We went to the beach to prepare for this week, which was the launch of my book and to think about the book and to prepare to answer questions about it. And we were walking back towards the road and we saw in the sand someone had arranged shells with numbers.
MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Monday on “Deadline” that American voters were “not smart enough” to keep President Donald Trump away from the presidency.
McCaskill said, “There’s a huge swath of Americans that don’t know about that because their algorithms are purposely not feeding them politics because they don’t want to hear about it. But you know what they’re all going to know about? They’re all going to know about higher prices. They’re all going to know that they’re spending more at Walmart than they spent this time last year. They’re all going to know that their 401Ks are down. They’re all going to know that.
In a statement released Sunday evening in response to Joe Biden’s cancer announcement, former President Barack Obama absurdly claimed Joe Biden has done the most work to find treatments for cancer.
On Sunday, it was reported that 82-year-old Joe Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer. (Snip) “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” the statement said.
“Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge
Poll after poll keeps bringing good news for Republicans and bad news for Democrats as American voters are feeling good about the direction of the country under Donald Trump’s leadership. Meanwhile, they're eyeing the Dems with ever-increasing skepticism as more and more negative information comes out about what really went down during the Biden regime.
Despite some pessimism earlier in this, Trump’s second (non-consecutive) term, another new survey released Monday shows that a majority is feeling mighty good about the direction of the economy.
The Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll released Monday revealed the first net-positive rating on the strength of the U.S. economy since July 2021,

Biden Cancer Diagnosis replies
In the immediate aftermath of the Sunday announcement from former President Joe Biden's personal office that he had been diagnosed with "prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone," the thoughts and prayers that poured in were followed by questions about his diagnosis. (Snip) Vice President JD Vance, however, had a much different take when asked about the subject Monday. After saying "Hopefully, he makes the right recovery," here were Vance's thoughts on the appropriateness of asking questions now:
"Whether the right time to have this conversation is now or at some point in the future,
I reported how Pope Leo XIV greeted Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio after the Pope's inaugural Mass on Sunday. It was also interesting to see the Pope's brother sitting right next to Vance and his wife in the American delegation during the mass. (Snip) It turns out that the media's spin was even worse than one might think when pictures and video came out on Monday of the private meeting that Vance had with Pope Leo. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was also in the meeting.
We have all made mistakes. We have all found ourselves, for whatever reason, in the wrong place at the wrong time. All Americans want justice for those who have committed serious crimes, and, as the old saying goes, they must "do the time." But what happens when circumstances come together to create the perfect storm, and you find yourself facing life in prison? That's what happened to Alice Marie Johnson. However, thanks to President Donald Trump, Alice received a second chance at life, and now, a new position in the White House as part of that chance. [Tweet]
I am thankful for the support of my family
The federal government will pay the family of Ashli Babbitt $5 million for her wrongful death at the hands of a police officer during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol Building.
This comes after the news broke that the White House had reached an undisclosed settlement as a result of a lawsuit the family filed against the federal government in 2024. Under the Biden administration, the government was fighting the suit, but this was reversed after President Donald Trump took office.
From The Washington Post:
Two people briefed on the matter said the Justice Department has agreed in principle to pay just under $5 million to Babbitt’s family,
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
Like clockwork, operation You Can't Say That; Joe Has Cancer! got underway in earnest Monday morning. It started earlier than I would have predicted.
As Scott writes nearby, David Axelrod set the tone for the rest of the mockingbird mediacrats, and since then, there's been a flurry of "I can't believe he said that" responses to smart people who question how long the Bidens have been keeping the cancer diagnosis under wraps.
Few believe the prostate cancer was a bolt out of the blue. This likely had been festering for quite a while, as this prostate cancer specialist explained on NewsNation.
Back in July 2022, Joe Biden gave a speech in Massachusetts about pollution and climate change. Being Joe Biden, he decided that he'd make the event all about himself and told those gathered that pollution had caused his cancer.
A collective, "Wha...?" went up from the media and all those watching."Did the president just say he has cancer?" Americans wondered.
Many people chalked up the incident to, "Oh, it's just Joe being Joe again," or, "Joe's losing it," but enough people wondered what he was talking about that the White House was forced to clarify.
In a remarkable development that could signal a turning point in the war in Eastern Europe, President Donald Trump revealed Monday that he held a two-hour phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and what came out of it could reshape the future of the region.
“Just completed my two hour call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia,” Trump announced on Truth Social. “I believe it went very well.”
According to Trump, the call wasn’t just diplomatic pleasantries — it led to a major breakthrough. “Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War,” Trump said.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is angling to be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2028 by trying to appeal to voters outside his progressive base. But he's not fooling anyone.
Newsom, for example, has proposed limiting health care coverage for migrants who entered the country illegally. He's told local leaders in California to clear homeless encampments, which are a bane for urban dwellers from San Francisco to San Diego. And he's even engaged on his podcast in thoughtful, cordial conversations with conservatives like Charlie Kirk, cofounder of Turning Point USA.
There were so many lies told by Joe Biden, his wife and their aides that it's hard to distinguish delusion from reality when assessing his disastrous presidency and determining who needs to be held accountable for all of the crimes and coverups. (Snip) According to an exclusive preview of the upcoming book "Original Sin" by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, at the same time that the White House and Hunter were denying the existence of his abandoned "laptop from hell" in early 2022, Biden aides were so concerned about the political fallout that they secretly arranged for the Democratic National Committee to obtain a copy of the hard drive.
Thank God I left The Episcopal Church.
After decades of partnering with the U.S. government to serve refugees, The Episcopal Church ended the relationship this week, because the Trump administration asked them to serve refugees whose plight contradicts the woke Left’s grand narrative.
Episcopal Migration Ministries had resettled almost 110,000 people across the U.S., and the church had touted its assistance to “undocumented immigrants”—read “illegal aliens”—but serving 59 desperate white South Africans who came to the U.S. legally was apparently a bridge too far.
Taxing remittances?
replies
We've posted about remittances to Mexico in the past. It's a big number and the top source of cash for Mexico after oil and tourism revenues. It's US$ 63 billion, a lot of money, to say the least. It's also a lot of money leaving the U.S., specially from towns and communities that could use the funds to support local services.
[snip]
Remittances, one of Mexico’s main sources of foreign currency, are now in the crosshairs of U.S. tax policy. A U.S. House of Representatives committee on Wednesday approved a proposal to impose a 5% tax on remittances.
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday gave the Trump administration the green light to revoke special legal protections for thousands of Venezuelan immigrants, which could pave the way for them to be deported.
The high court granted an emergency application filed by the administration, meaning officials can move forward with reversing a decision made at the tail end of the Biden administration to extend protections for more than 300,000 Venezuelans under the federal Temporary Protected Status program. The brief order noted that liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the application. Litigation will now continue in lower courts.
After all the sturm und drang over annulled results and canceled candidates in Romania's madcap, seven-month run at electing a new president, it turns out that the establishment-blessed, independent candidate, Bucharest Mayor Nicusor Dan, walked away as victor after yesterday's second round of voting.
And the European Union heaved a huge sigh of relief.
Despite ultra-nationalist George Simion, of the AUR party, claiming victory earlier on, Nicusor Dan, the progressive mayor of Bucharest who ran as an independent, looks set to be Romania’s next president
Tomorrow, Original Sin, the book on how Joe Biden's White House and the leadership of the Democratic Party lied to poor Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, and to the rest of the resistance media that had its collective heads buried in the sand for the four years of the former President's regency, finally comes out. Tapper is scheduled to appear on Megyn Kelly's podcast, which could be one for the record books, if Megyn's reputation precedes her.
Yesterday morning, the news dropped that Joe Biden has been diagnosed with late-stage prostate cancer, an aggressive disease that has already metastasized into his bones.
In a statement, Biden's team said
Wendy McMahon has announced her resignation as the president and CEO of CBS News and Stations, the latest departure from the network amid the pending acquisition by Skydance.
McMahon wrote to staffers, “Championing and supporting the journalism produced by the most amazing stations and bureaus in the world, celebrating the successes of our shows and our brands, elevating our stories and our people … It has been a privilege and joy.
“At the same time, the past few months have been challenging. It’s become clear that the company and I do not agree on the path forward. It’s time for me to move on and for this organization to move forward
At a time when democratic politics are dominated by battles between liberal cosmopolitans and populist nationalists, Romania’s presidential election on May 18th seemed to come straight from central casting. George Simion of the hard-right Alliance for the Union of Romanians (aur), a maga-backed rabble-rouser who built his party on resentment of the political establishment, faced off against Nicusor Dan (pictured), a Paris-trained mathematician and mayor of Bucharest, the capital. Mr Simion had won the election’s first round two weeks earlier with 41% of the vote to Mr Dan’s 21%. (snip). A win for Mr Simion would add to the ranks of populist leaders who are fracturing the bloc.
Nicușor Dan was the pro-EU, pro-war and pro-NATO Romanian presidential candidate supported by Brussels.
When Nicușor Dan came in second place in the first round of elections, CTH noted he was very likely to succeed because the stakes are just too high for the European Union. The largest NATO military base in Europe is being built in Romania.
There was simply no way the collective assembly of the Intelligence Community, the military industrial complex, the pro-Ukraine elements, the anti-Russia NATO/EU alliance were going to allow defeat. As expected, Dan won.
Four months into his second term, President Trump faces a nation with no patience for excuses, only expectations: fix the economy, secure the border, and bring jobs back. According to a recent nationwide TIPP Poll, the economy tops the list of Americans' concerns, followed by immigration and trade. Inflation and food prices remain the top economic issues. While partisan divides persist, there's a shared urgency across the political spectrum for action on these pressing issues, which are likely to drive the 2026 midterm elections.
Thirty-eight percent of Americans identify the economy as the country’s most pressing issue, followed by immigration and border security at 27 percent.
During an appearance on FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino discussed the details surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s death.
According to Bongino, Epstein committed suicide. “You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide,” host Maria Bartiromo said. “People don’t believe it.” (snip) Bongino added, “He killed himself. Again, you want me to — I have seen the whole file. He killed himself.”
Puppet abuse
replies
Yes, the Democrats and their Uniparty pals will abuse anyone who stands in the way of their lust for power and all the perks their “public service” grifts provide.
You need look no further than one Donald J. Trump, the man the D.C. Swamp tried mightily to discredit, deplatform, shame, bankrupt, impeach, imprison, and ultimately, kill. I’m certain, based on corrupt Feeb Jim Comey’s shell art, that they’re still trying to accomplish all of the above.
But, what of Joe Biden?
He’s nominally an esteemed, revered Democrat leader, yet look what they’ve done to him.
Joe wanted to run for president after Barack Obama’s long reign of error, but Barry dumped his pretend friend
Former FBI Director James Comey’s anti-Trump derangement just hit a new #resistance-theater low with his post of a photograph of shells arranged to spell out “8647.”
Short for: Kill the 47th president, Donald Trump.
Comey’s Instagram post included the comment, “Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” but there’s no way he didn’t realize the meaning. Of course when the post blew up, Comey had the nerve to pretend he had no idea what it meant — though he did admit he thought it was “political,” so maybe he’s just confessing to being drug-addled or an idiot?
Current FBI Director Kash Patel is closing down the agency’s Washington, DC, mothership office and moving at least 1,500 employees out of the DC area to regional offices. During the Biden Administration, it was determined that the 50-year-old Hoover building headquarters was structurally decrepit. More germanely, no prior FBI director had ever explained why nearly a third of the FBI workforce was centered in offices in Washington, far from where most of the serious crime in America occurs.
President Trump wished Biden well after revelations of his advanced prostate cancer.
That’s fine. Trump is actually a very magnanimous fellow. What’s not fine are the talking heads concocting a false reality about Biden. Here are two of the talking points reverberating around the media eco-chambers: he is a decent man and a longtime public servant.
In many quarters, it is considered improper and unenlightened to talk ill of the dead. Though Biden is not quite there, yet, it may also be considered churlish to talk ill of the ill. Rather than stumble over themselves conjuring a false image of a decent public servant,
Word of former President Joe Biden’s diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer immediately spawned speculation he may have known about the disease while still in the White House — maybe even as he was pursuing a second term in office — but others are pushing back and requesting empathy for the 82-year-old. Urologist Dr. David Shusterman said Biden, who received the finest healthcare while in office, could have known for some time. He said the type of metastasizing cancer the former president has takes years to develop. “This is what I typically would see in a VA hospital, where a patient
Medicaid: End It, Don’t Mend It
replies
As soon as Republicans mentioned cutting spending on Medicaid as part of their “reconciliation” bill, the usual suspects started rolling out their standard talking points. They’re cutting health care for the poor to pay for tax cuts for the rich! Millions will lose coverage! The disabled will suffer! Oh, the humanity!
Well, if the GOP is going to be accused of destroying Medicaid when all they are proposing is a minor haircut, why not go all out and scrap this hopelessly flawed, fraud-riddled, budget-busting disaster of a program and start over from scratch?
First, let’s dispense with the claim of
President Trump’s return to the White House and his populist agenda constitute an existential threat to a Democratic Party so unpopular with its own voters that it is in danger of going the way of the Whigs. Several recent polls have revealed that only about 1 in 3 Democrats are optimistic about the future of their party. In response to this crisis, their leaders have reverted to their longstanding tradition of inciting political violence. James Comey claims he is “nonaligned” politically, yet his now notorious “8647” Instagram post was all too typical of Democrat calls for the President’s assassination.
