This one will center on allegations that the White House covered up President Biden&#8217;s cancer, that staffers knew he suffered from &#8220;aggressive prostate cancer,&#8221; but wanted him re-elected in 2024, so that he could resign and hand the presidency over to Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>I don&#8217;t feel good about the former president&#8217;s prognosis. He is 82 years of age. He has had cancer before, many years ago. But no one ever talks about that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>I am not privy, nor is anyone outside the White House, to what people knew during Biden&#8217;s term as president and when they knew it. A couple of questions keep nagging at me regarding the conspiracy theorists.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>One is, why even worry about such a thing now? Joe Biden is no longer president. He has exited the political arena after serving what many millions of us consider to be a successful presidency. I am not going to spend a moment of my time thinking about what the White House medical staff knew and whether they covered it up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The other is that we&#8217;ll never know the answer, except that if the White House medical team says it hid nothing, that is going to be good enough for me.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Conspiracy theories are the stuff of individuals who have too much time on their hands and too little to fill their vacuous noggins.<\/p>\r\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Biden&#8217;s cancer diagnosis is bound to run its course, no matter where it ends up.
