Charles Krauthammer, the beloved and brilliant Fox News Channel personality who gave up a pioneering career in psychiatry to become a Pulitzer Prize-winning political analyst, on Friday revealed the heartbreaking news that he is in the final stages of a losing battle with cancer.
The 68-year-old’s incisive takes on politics of the day have been missing from Fox News Channel’s “Special Report” for nearly a year as he battled an abdominal tumor and subsequent complications, but colleagues and viewers alike had held out hope that he would return to the evening show he helped establish as must-viewing. But in an eloquent, yet unblinking letter to co-workers, friends and Fox News Channel viewers, Krauthammer disclosed that he has just weeks to live.
“I have been uncharacteristically silent these past ten months,” the letter began. “I had thought that silence would soon be coming to an end, but I’m afraid I must tell you now that fate has decided on a different course for me.”

Well put. Many people who are classified “Never Trumpers” are not that. It is not an accurate term. They might disagree with Trump on certain things but support him and his agenda.
My treatment with just Lupron and six month addition of Casodex has kept my cancer in check for almost 3 years. Dropped the Casodex two months ago and my PSA is holding at 0.2.
I have responded to first line treatment extremely well.
Well said.
I disagreed with him a lot and knew him back at New Republic days.
But he has grit no question
And smart
Plus one...most cogent so far as I run the thread
Methusalem too
It’s ironic we all talk about Christ and salvation here for the most part and wish Krauthammer Godspeed
In spite of the fact he was a devoted Einstein styled agnostic
He doesn’t really practice it
He calls himself an Einstein style agnostic
Younger freepers have no idea how true that is
I grant that he overcame some great physical problems, but beyond that he was nothing but another bloviating "expert", who only seemed to approach the light because of his hatred of Obunghole.
“...We should all strive to invest our lives with dignity because it helps us beat the worst life has to offer. We live in unnecessarily mean, crude, vulgar times, but dignity helps us rise above.”
Your comments about dignity have become another Pearl on my string of “wish I’d said that”. I’ve found Dignity to be integral to every level of human undertaking.
Thank You.
You’re very welcome. Indeed, dignity is vital, but we see so little of it these days.
He’s not dead yet there is still hope. I was just providing an example of what a Christian feels facing death as apposed to a non Christian I hope krauthanner finds Jesus and peace. If he does not he will never have peace again Truly sad when it has all been given to us., all
We have to do is accept it.
So sorry Charles. You are a good man.
But I wish you could have developed a liking for PDJT.He fooled you and won the presidential election in 2016.You never quite forgave him for that.
I did not always agree with Charles Krauthammer, but I respected and loved him for his tenacity for life. His battle for life after his swimming pool incident many years ago, would have set many people into permanent depression, but not Charles.
He is no doubt one of the smartest people on God’s Earth. He is also quite funny, quick with the quip, a baseball fan addict with great passion and understanding of this magnificent sport, that mirrors life in so many ways, with its many ups & downs.
Charles, I earnestly Pray to God to work a miracle to keep you with us for many years to come....but should the master call you home to paradise...I for one will not mourn for you one second, one minute.
I will celebrate you, Charles, and our Lord for being among us as one of the greatest gifts that God has given his people in allowing you to move among us!!! God & Jesus Christ bless and keep this magnificent man for all seasons!!!
I am, however, sorry for you.
I hope you’re right. Not to be dramatic, but when you lose someone you love too soon, it’s easy to have a different take.
I’ve read where the cannibus oil is producing amazing results.
Charles is a class act....to the very end
Not an atheist:
“Atheism is the least plausible of all theologies. I mean, there are a lot of wild ones out there, but the one that clearly runs so contrary to what is possible, is atheism”
He just doesn’t know.
Another FOOL
