It’s easy to come up with Democrat Clown World fibs, but these are special, even for Clown World. We also have the latest Democrat talking point: You can’t talk about President Autopen because Joe is sick. Hakeem Jeffries wants us to stop talking about Autopen since Joe Biden has a cancer diagnosis. Wouldn’t he love […] The post Democrats of Clown World Want Us to Shut Up About Autopen appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

President Donald Trump expressed sympathy for his predecessor’s cancer diagnosis and surprise that the diagnosis was so recently revealed. Former President Joe Biden’s office announced Sunday that Biden has an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer. The statement said that Biden received the diagnosis on Friday. “I think it’s very sad, actually. I’m surprised that the public wasn’t notified a long time ago because to get to stage 9, that’s a long time,” Trump told reporters on Monday afternoon. Biden’s cancer is stage four, but he received a Gleason score of nine, Grade Group 5. A Gleason score is a metric for grading prostate cancer. Higher scores, such as a nine or 10, suggest a much more aggressive, faster-spreading form of cancer. “I just had my physical. You saw that, you saw the results of that particular test. I think that test is standard to pretty much anybody getting a physical, good physical,” said Trump. Trump added that his physical included “cognitive tests” and said “anybody running for president should, you know, take a cognitive test.” Biden’s office said in its Sunday statement that the former president’s prostate cancer has “metastasis to the bone.” “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. “The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.” Biden posted a message on social media Monday: “Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.” The Sunday announcement has sparked skepticism from some physicians who say that, given the advanced form of Biden’s cancer, it is likely the former president was diagnosed much earlier. Dr. Chris George, the medical director of Northwestern Health Network’s cancer program, said he would be shocked if Biden received a normal PSA, a prostate cancer screening result, within the past year. “I would assume that the former president gets a very thorough physical every year,” George told Reuters. “I would be interested to know what his PSA was the last time it was checked.” “It’s sort of hard for me to believe that he’s had a PSA within the past year, that was normal,” he said. “It’s possible. It’s definitely possible, but that would surprise me … Usually prostate cancer doesn’t, you know, go full throttle like this too often. When it does, that’s usually a bad, bad sign. That’s an aggressive cancer for sure. But it does seem odd to me.”

The families of three Florida law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty last year were presented the first-ever “Medals of Sacrifice” by President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Monday. Trump handed out the medals to the loved ones of Cpl. Luis Paez, Jr., Deputy Sheriff Ralph Butch Waller, Jr., and Deputy Sheriff Ignacio Dan Diaz, all former officers with the Palm Beach County, Florida, Sheriff’s Office. The officers were killed after they were struck by an SUV on November 21, 2024. “Today, we also remember three remarkable heroes who will become the medal’s first-ever recipients. It’s a big honor,” Trump said. “This was a terrible tragedy, shook the entire Palm Beach community like very, very few events I’ve ever seen,” added Trump, whose Mar-a-Lago estate is in Palm Beach County. “All of Florida mourned their loss, and today, our entire nation joins in honoring these three incredible patriots taken from us. Much too soon, much, much too soon.” .@POTUS announces three fallen Palm Beach County officers killed in the line of duty as the recipients of the first ever Medals of Sacrifice: Cpl.

The driver of the SUV attempted to pass a slower car but overcompensated and hit all three law enforcement officers on the side of the road. A fourth officer who was on his way to help his colleagues restart the motorcycle witnessed the fatal collision. Paez, 58, had served in law enforcement for 36 years and was described as a “devoted family man.” Fifty-one-year-old Diaz had served for 20 years and received several awards recognizing his work over that time. He is “remembered as a caring and devoted father, partner, and lover of animals.” Waller, 54, had served for 18 years and was known for his “charm, wit, and an infectious smile.” The president told the officers’ loved ones in the Oval Office that the country is “eternally grateful for their sacrifice.” “We’ll never forget their legacy, and we’ll never forget the debt we owe all of these great law enforcement heroes who have given their lives to keep our communities safe, and make America strong again,” the president added.

Three teenage sisters from Mexico’s industrial heartland never imagined their bedroom jam sessions would evolve into commanding stages alongside Metallica and Guns N’ Roses. The Warning emerged from Monterrey in 2013 when the Villarreal Vélez siblings—Daniela, Paulina, and Alejandra—transformed their passion for video game Rock Band into genuine musical prowess. This power trio has maintained its original lineup throughout their decade-long journey, with no member departures or additions since formation. The band’s catalog spans four full-length studio releases, a pair of extended plays, and eighteen music videos that document their evolution from cover artists to original songwriters. Their discography includes The post Complete List of The Warning Band Members appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of today’s video from Daily Signal Senior Contributor Victor Davis Hanson. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to see more of his videos. Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. There’s this controversy about the 747 airplane that Qatar gave to President Donald Trump. And there’s a lot of backstory, subtext to it that we haven’t really pondered. The Left says that it’s unethical for the Trump Foundation to eventually get possession of it. But let’s just break it down very quickly. Qatar has this huge 2013 747. It doesn’t seem to want it. It’s been on the market since 2020 and there were no takers. It gave its twin to Turkey, free of charge. What I’m getting at is a 747 is an obsolete aircraft unless you’re the United States. And we have two, both of them nearly 40 years old. And we’re trying to build two new ones that Boeing is retrofitting. But if you’re Qatar, the idea that you’re going to use this kind of older plane and get mechanics and the fuel costs, it’s not an economic viable plane. And they were trying to unload it to Turkey, which took it, and to us. Donald Trump is going to have the Air Force take it. Here’s the other thing that’s important. Sen. Markwayne Mullin from Oklahoma has alleged that these negotiations about receiving the plane actually began during the Biden administration. I don’t know if that was true. But it would be logical because the two Boeings that Donald Trump had authorized before he left office in 2021 were never really finished. Boeing sort of dragged on and on. The Biden administration didn’t press them. And they may not be done until Donald Trump is out of office. So, what are we talking about? We’re talking about getting kind of a white elephant airplane from Qatar. It’s very elaborate. If we get it, we’ll probably have to spend the same cost as the Boeing. It would have to be updated with suitable communications, suitable security apparatuses, and refueling capability. Maybe it would be another $500 million to $1 billion to get this. Will it be done before Donald Trump leaves office? I doubt it. So then it hinges on, well, what is Donald Trump going to do with it after he leaves office? He says his foundation is going to have it. Remember when former President Ronald Reagan set up his library, his 747 that had been used, subsequently, by Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush and Bill Clinton was given to the Reagan library. And he didn’t use it. It was defunct at that point. And it’s there today as a museum piece. Do people really think that when Trump leaves office this sort of white elephant 747 that looks like the interior of the Titanic is going to be flying the Trump family around? They already have a 757, this really expensive plane to maintain and to fuel. And it may or may not be retrofitted in time. So, there’s only one ethical question, and that is, if the Trump Foundation really wants it, I don’t think it’ll be economically viable to use, but they should just announce in advance that it will be a museum piece and all of the controversy will be ended. I’d like to end, though, on another aspect. The Left is really pressing the Trump family on conflict of interest: the cryptocurrency companies that they’re involved with; Jared Kushner’s dealings with some of the Gulf monarchies; the Trump companies cutting deals in the Middle East with golf courses, hotels, etc. It would be very wise—because Trump is at a critical point in his administration where he cannot bleed anything—to have an informal ethics adviser, in my opinion. And just to reassure this predatory media—not that you have to cater them or not that you have to listen to them—but just someone in the administration, an ethics czar, that advises all of the Trump family and associates to make a firewall between them and presidential assistance. And this is especially important because one of the reasons that Donald Trump was elected, he made a very convincing case that the Biden consortium was absolutely corrupt: the Burisma money to Hunter Biden; the laptop text that incriminated the entire family; the bogus checks that said “loan repayment”; the inexplicable three homes of former President Joe Biden; the $35 million that came from places as diverse as Ukraine, Romania, and China. Given all that and how it hurt Biden, it would be wise for Donald Trump to make sure that the plane—which, again, is a white elephant—stays as a museum piece in his foundation when it’s turned over from the U.S. Air Force, if that’s going to happen, to the Trump Foundation. And secondly, have someone in the White House just advise everybody that if they’re going to do business, it has to be separate from and distinct from the foreign policy initiatives of the administration.
