Cancer research as a big spot in Joe Biden’s heart. His oldest, beloved son Beau died of brain cancer in 2015. Last year in Boston, Joe Biden announced a Cancer Moonshot to end cancer as we know it. During the four years when he wasn’t on the government grift, I mean, between his Vice Presidency and his Oval Office installation, Joe had a cancer initiative which provided zero dollars to anything cancer related. Given the importance of end cancer for Joe, why was Doctor Jill in New Orleans to talk about cancer research? Where was Joe?
Doctor Jill Biden visited the Louisiana Cancer Research Center in New Orleans and was joined by Senator, and real Doctor, Bill Cassidy and his wife, and real doctor, Laura, along with New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell. Cassidy introduced Jill before she spoke:
She was introduced by U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, who was at her side during her speech and tour at the Louisiana Cancer Research Center.
Cassidy had joined his fellow Republicans a day earlier in criticizing the president’s overall budget plan. His remarks Friday stressed the need for early detection and treatment to prevent colorectal cancer deaths. And he said researchers can address Louisiana’s disproportionate number of colorectal cancer deaths “with the aid of the cancer moonshot,” a reference to the president’s cancer-fighting initiative.
Cassidy and his wife, Laura, who also was part of the tour, are physicians. They were joined by Democratic Rep. Troy Carter and New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell as they viewed laboratories and heard information on the center’s research and treatment efforts.
The president made fighting cancer part of the “unity agenda” that he outlined near the beginning of his administration, and he’s asked Congress to approve $2.8 billion to advance the goal.
It’s a personal issue for the Bidens. According to the White House, Jill Biden’s advocacy for cancer education and prevention dates to 1993, when four of her friends were diagnosed with breast cancer. The president’s eldest son, Beau, died from a brain tumor. And the president and first lady both recently had lesions removed that contained basal cell carcinoma, a kind of skin cancer.
Jill Biden recounted her family’s anguish when her sister, a cancer survivor, was first diagnosed. “My sisters and I were stunned when we heard her diagnosis,” she said. “Terrified of losing her.”
President Biden has set a goal of reducing cancer death rates by half over the next 25 years.
Here is her visit:
Joe Biden seemingly set an ambitious goal of cutting cancer deaths by 50% in the next 25 years. If research keeps apace, I have no doubt that we can make that goal. Biden won’t have to worry about his honor as a Biden. Cancer research and development has been astonishing. According to USA today from 2019:
The cancer rate in the United States dropped continuously over a 25-year period, representing a 27 percent decline, according to a study published Tuesday.
The study from the American Cancer Society found there were approximately 2.6 million fewer cancer deaths in the U.S. since reaching a peak of 215 deaths per 100,000 people.
The most recently available data, which is from 2016, found 156 deaths per 100,000 people. The report estimates 1.8 million new cancer cases and more than 600,000 deaths this year.
The American Cancer Society cites steady declines in smoking, advances in treatment and early detection for the continuous dip.
I pray that this trend continues.
Here is the thing that really gets me. Does Doctor Jill ever stand in a room of real doctors and researchers and feel like a fraud? She doesn’t even have a Ph.D. let alone an M.D. or D.O.. She has an Ed.D. For those of us who have read her dissertation, we know. I suspect Doctor Jill believes that the title Doctor gives her credibility and that she is accepted as a peer. I don’t believe she is deep enough to feel vulnerable or intimidated by the brain power in that room.
Here is the other thing I promised you. Where was Joe? Cancer research and cures are important too him. It’s so important that while “equity” was mentioned 62 times and cancer very few. It’s so important to Joe that he didn’t go to New Orleans. Why should he? It’s solidly Democrat, no new votes for him there. He didn’t have anything truly pressing in his schedule. He had a meeting with President Ursula von der Leyen of the European Commission, lasted about 20 minutes, Antony Blinken could have handled it. No, Joe had a very important scheduled event. He had to fly to Delaware to chill.
I am tired of these grifters. Doctor Jill is committing elder abuse on Creepy Joe. Doctor Jill wants another term in the White House because its her right as a Doctor.

Joe is home with Hunter, playing Chinese checkers. (And, they are playing for money!)
I am old enough to remember when Joe said that if he became President, he’d cure cancer. If he could have done that, he could have just stayed home and made a lot of money.
The real cancer for this nation comes in the form of LaToya……or LaToya the destroya as New Orleamians call her….read about the violent crime swerping the city and her stance that “there’s no crime problem” as she jet-sets around the globe on taxpayer monies while citizens and tourists lay dying in the streets. They’ve successfully had a recall petition so her time may be up. But she could care less…. about cancer, about New Orleans, or anything else except herself…She wants a Cabinet position for Biden’s “second term”
I apologize for the spelling errors
