As Joe Biden begins his campaign for a second term, his obvious physical and mental decline is part of the conversations, around the edges. We know that the Media Industrial Complex covers and makes excuses for him. Just as they did with Franklin Roosevelt from day one and continuing to his fourth Presidential term. The American people deserve and can handle the truth.

Democrats and their Public Relations arm, the Media Industrial Complex, have always thought the American people dumb. As we contemplate another four years of Creepy Joe, it’s natural to wonder what MORE is being hidden from us? An article in The Hill, “In 1944, FDR was reported to be in excellent health”. is instructive. The author Paul C. Atkinson wrote about Presidential health:

The lack of candor surrounding FDR’s condition persisted to the very end. On April 12, 1945, following his fatal cerebral hemorrhage in Warm Springs, Georgia, Admiral McIntire told the Times that “this came out of a clear sky … His optimistic reports of the president’s health, he declared, had been completely justified by the known tests.” As Washington rallied around Truman, those statements received little scrutiny.

Today, the health of a president is subject to coverage that was inconceivable 80 years ago. But questions can be raised regarding the counsel Joe Biden is receiving from physicians, family and advisers regarding his fitness for four more years. And in contrast with 1944, there are no party bosses with the clout to jawbone the president into replacing the unpopular Kamala Harris on the ticket.

The truth is 81 is not that old today. The truth is also that we could have a President in his early 50’s say who could go face down in the guacamole without any warning or symptoms. Life happens. Surprise.

As a matter of fact, the martyred John F. Kennedy was only 44 years old at his inauguration, but his health problems sound like those of a very old man:

Despite JFK’s slim, athletic-looking physique and skill at pastimes such as golf and sailing, he contended with spinal problems and osteoporosis that left him in chronic pain. He was also afflicted with Addison’s disease, a condition in which damaged adrenal glands don’t produce enough hormones, causing fatigue, digestive difficulties and low blood pressure. And he experienced severe allergies and urinary tract infections.

s historian Robert Dallek discovered when studying his medical records years later, Kennedy took as many as 12 different medications at once. He used demerol and methadone for pain, barbiturates to help him sleep, an amphetamine, thyroid hormone, and an anti-anxiety medication, and injections of gamma globulins to fight infections, among other prescriptions.

“In actuality, he had the most complex medical history of anyone to occupy the White House,” Dr. Lee R. Mandel wrote in 2009 in Annals of Internal Medicine.

Got it. Democrats lie, cheat and cover for their precious favorites. You know, like acting it was normal for Biden to campaign from his basement in 2020. But even with the basement campaign, Biden was in much better shape, physically and mentally than he is today. Watch as he promised a bold Progressive vision for America.

Joe thought he could be great a great progressive like Franklin Roosevlet. Oof. As our dear Amanda wrote three years ago: “We Don’t Want Or Need Another Roosevelt”.

The Democrat Media Industrial Complex pumps sunshine up our skirts and tells us how great it is. Roosevelt platitudes, still popular today, are worthless:

"In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way."

Franklin D. Roosevelt

They plan it all. They knew Roosevelt was sick, just as they know Old Joe is on a steep decline. Roosevelt was inaugurated for a fourth time January 20, 1945 and died April 12, 1945.

Look, death can come for any of us on any day, but just tell the truth to us as it exists today. If Donald Trump had pudding brain, the media would gloat their hearts out. We don’t need another Franklin Roosevelt.
