CNN analyst Brian Stelter has questioned the timing of Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis announcement — insisting it’s “extraordinary” the news broke just as the former president was battling an onslaught of criticism over his mental decline while in the White House.

“The timing … is just extraordinary,” the anchor said on the left-leaning network Sunday.

“We know from the statement from his personal spokesman that Biden learned of the diagnosis on Friday.

“Well, what was the biggest Biden story on Friday? It was the release of those audio excerpts from his conversations with Robert Hur back in 2023,” he noted.

Maybe the timing is to avoid prosecution for something/many things.

So the story is Democrats would put a Braindead cancer patient up to be president and sell that to the American people because they have no respect for the American people.

I’d say a broken clock is right twice a day, but Stelter is feigning outrage to try to rehabilitate his trashed reputation. Now its safe to call out Biden for lying about his health.

Biden learned of the diagnosis on Friday.

Total malarkey. They've all known for years. It's impossible that they didn't know.

No, the story is that Trump cannot prosecute a brain dead cancer patient Joe Potato President, who had no idea what his autopen was signing and had no idea that he let in 15 million illegal aliens.

CNN analyst Brian Stelter has questioned the timing of Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis announcement — insisting it’s “extraordinary” the news broke just as the former president was battling an onslaught of criticism over his mental decline while in the White House.

“The biggest Biden story on Friday? It was the release of those audio excerpts from his conversations with Robert Hur back in 2023,” he noted.


Hur’s interview hits hard - Biden faked that he “couldn’t remember” details such as
<><>when his son Beau died,
<><>when he left office as Obama’s vice president,
<><>what year Donald Trump was elected,
<><>and why he had classified documents in his possession that he shouldn’t have had
<><>Biden frequently slurred words or muttered,
<><>validating Hur’s not so surprising assertion
<><>jurors viewing Biden as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man w/ a poor memory.”

NOTE - Hur stated in his report that he felt that Biden was “mentally
incapable” of contributing to his defense in any trial as well.

Yet this half-wit Biden was allowed to stay in office making policy decisions
for taxpayers.....and even allowed to use the presidential pardon for a select few.

The only one person that could avoid prosecution would be Joe Biden, due to his mental incapacitation coupled with his cancer. Now, Jill, Hunter and Whoever Else is involved are fair game....................

Another day, another Biden lie.

“Last summer, WH Physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor swore to the American people that Joe Biden was ‘completely fit for the presidency’ – no issues, nothing to see,” Johnson wrote. Yet, Prostate cancer is easy to find….......and advanced prostate cancer takes +10 years to develop to the stage where Biden’s diagnosis is today.

Biden’s infamous interview with special counsel Hur
is Biden at his best doing his “Save My *** Act”:
<><>shows Biden tripping over his words,
<><>slurring sentences,
<><>taking long pauses between answers
<><>struggling to remember key dates, like when Beau Biden died of cancer.
<><>when he was VP
<><>why he had classified documents he wasnt supposed to have.

Biden should get an Academy Award in the “Keeping My *** Out of Prison” category

It’s a moment of immeasurable joy b/c the recording bolsters conservative outrage wrt Biden’s mental acuity and that the Delaware Democrat was unfit to lead the country as president.

It’s the law of unintended consequences.

The recording specifically impacts the pardons Biden allegedly signed by “autopen” in the waning days of his administration....including son Hunter Biden, his crime family and their spouses, retired Gen. Mark Milley, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and House committee staff members.

how long after early diagnosis does it take prostate cancer to reach stage 4

ChatGPT said:
The time it takes for prostate cancer to progress from early-stage (e.g., Stage I or II) to Stage IV varies widely and depends on several factors, including:

Key Factors:
Grade of Cancer (Gleason Score or Grade Group):

Low-grade (Gleason ≤6): Often very slow-growing; may never progress to Stage IV, even over decades.

High-grade (Gleason 8–10): More aggressive; can reach Stage IV in a few years without treatment.

PSA Level at Diagnosis:

High PSA at diagnosis may indicate more aggressive or already advanced disease.

Tumor Characteristics:

Rapid PSA doubling time or perineural invasion suggests faster progression.

Treatment or Lack Thereof:

With treatment (surgery, radiation, hormone therapy, etc.): Many men never progress to Stage IV.

Without treatment: Aggressive cancers may reach Stage IV in 2–5 years, while indolent types might take 10+ years or never progress.

Averages (Very General):
Cancer Type Estimated Time to Stage IV (untreated)
Low-risk 10–30+ years (or never)
Intermediate-risk 5–15 years
High-risk/aggressive 2–5 years

⚠️ These are averages. Some men may progress faster or slower depending on genetics, age, and health status.

Yep, not only is he too demented to prosecute...NOW, he's too physically infirm, so mental and physically ill.

Stelter is a lying, dog-faced pony soldier.

The president has a personal physician. He gets regular checkups. I doubt that they would forget to do a simple, routine, test of the PSA.

I think everyone knew about this disease but kept it out of the news. Now that Biden is no longer useful to them, they are revealing it.
