A new experimental vaccine has been developed that appears to be successful in preventing recurrences of the deadly colorectal and pancreatic cancers.
A <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-025-03876-4">study</a> led by the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of California, Los Angeles, tested the ELI-002 2P vaccine on 25 patients previously treated for pancreatic and colorectal cancers.
The vaccine could “help prevent or delay cancer recurrence in high-risk patients whose tumors are driven by KRAS mutations, which are responsible for half of colorectal cancers and more than 90 percent of pancreatic cancers, researchers noted,” The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/5458487-new-vaccine-cancer-recurrence-research/">reported.</a>
The patients were tested a year after the vaccine had been administered, and the average relapse-free survival times were significantly greater than historical norms.
Oncologist Dr. Thomas Marron told <a href="https://www.wane.com/news/promising-vaccine-may-prevent-certain-cancers-from-returning/amp/">NewsNation</a> the results are “extremely promising. Pancreatic cancer and colon cancer are really terrible cancers, and oftentimes even if patients can have curative-intense surgery, unfortunately this cancer tends to come back as microscopic bits of the cancer have already spread. This vaccine is really about teaching patients’ immune system how to recognize and attack those tiny amounts of cancers so that they keep them from coming back, increasing the likelihood that we can cure patients with surgery and chemotherapy or radiation.”
“Vaccines are all about teaching your immune system to recognize and attack something foreign,” he continued. “Oftentimes we catch colon cancer early because of colonoscopies and sometimes we’ll catch pancreatic cancer early enough so we can do a surgery and cut it out but small amounts remain. So the vaccine is really about teaching your immune system what in the cancer is foreign, because cancer is foreign to our body, and teaching your immune system how to hunt down and  eliminate those tiny bits that remain, and that really increases the likelihood that patients go in remission, stay in remission.”
The vaccine induced “persistent T cell responses targeting oncogenic driver KRAS mutations, alongside personalized, tumor antigen-specific T cells,” the study found, adding, “Tumor-promoting driver mutations in KRAS occur in approximately 20–25% of human tumors, including colorectal cancer (CRC) (50%) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) (93%). Despite curative intent, relapses are common following standard locoregional therapy, particularly for resectable PDAC.”
“The long-term follow-up of the AMPLIFY-201 phase 1 study provides evidence that ELI-002 2P induces potent, polyfunctional CD4+ and CD8+ T cell immunity to mKRAS alongside frequent antigen spreading that may delay tumor recurrence,” the study stated.

‘Extremely Promising’: New Vaccine Could Prevent Recurrence Of Deadly Colon, Pancreatic Cancer

Scientists at the University of Florida in Gainesville are developing a universal cancer vaccine designed to target cancer cells already forming in the body. The vaccine could be especially effective against some of the deadliest cancers, including pancreatic and ovarian cancer.
The problem in the past has been that because cancers tend to be specific to each person, a cancer vaccine would have to be tailored for that specific individual rather than a one-size-fits-all vaccine, and in the time spent to create a personal vaccine, the cancer could mutate.
“It can be months from the time you get a patient&#8217;s specimen to when they actually have a personalized therapy,” study senior author and pediatric oncologist Dr. Elias Sayour said, as Live Science <a href="https://www.livescience.com/health/cancer/universal-cancer-vaccine-heading-to-human-trials-could-be-useful-for-all-forms-of-cancer">reports</a>. “The idea that something could be available immediately, albeit in a nonspecific way … could be revolutionary for how we bridge therapy and how we manage patients.”
The experimental vaccine was discussed in the journal <a style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;" href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=92X1590019&amp;xcust=livescience_us_1632594187414033690&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Farticles%2Fs41551-025-01380-1&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.livescience.com%2Fhealth%2Fcancer%2Funiversal-cancer-vaccine-heading-to-human-trials-could-be-useful-for-all-forms-of-cancer" data-analytics-id="inline-link" data-url="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41551-025-01380-1" data-hl-processed="skimlinks" data-placeholder-url="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=92X1590019&amp;xcust=hawk-custom-tracking&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Farticles%2Fs41551-025-01380-1&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.livescience.com%2Fhealth%2Fcancer%2Funiversal-cancer-vaccine-heading-to-human-trials-could-be-useful-for-all-forms-of-cancer" data-google-interstitial="false" data-merchant-name="nature.com" data-merchant-network="SkimLinks" data-mrf-recirculation="[Livescience] Article - Inline Link" data-mrf-link="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=92X1590019&amp;xcust=livescience_us_4664427368791827916&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Farticles%2Fs41551-025-01380-1&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.livescience.com%2Fhealth%2Fcancer%2Funiversal-cancer-vaccine-heading-to-human-trials-could-be-useful-for-all-forms-of-cancer" data-custom-tracking-id="1632594187414033690" data-hawk-tracked="hawklinks" data-label="Nature Biomedical Engineering">Nature Biomedical Engineering</a>; the abstract stated, “Our findings show that the resistance of tumors to immunotherapy is dictated by the absence of a damage response, which can be restored by boosting early type-I interferon responses to enable epitope spreading and self-amplifying responses in treatment-refractory tumors.”
The experimental vaccine is built on mRNA that triggers cells to produce new proteins, and hopes to strengthen the body to create more type-I interferons, which can locate cancerous tumors.
Sayour explained that cancer can impede interferon signals and block anti-cancer immune responses, so the experimental vaccine could catalyze an immune “reset.”
“I personally think this can be used for all forms of cancer,” Sayour stated. “I believe this is a universal paradigm that can be used to treat cancer,” adding that the vaccine could stop a relapse of the cancer after remission.
“This exciting and novel paper shows promising evidence that giving the immune system a short, targeted boost at just the right time can help previously unresponsive tumors respond to immunotherapy,&#8221; Diana Azzam, from the Center for Advancing Personalized Cancer Treatments at Florida International University, said. “This approach could be especially helpful for ‘cold’ tumors — types of cancer that usually don&#8217;t trigger a strong immune response, like pancreatic, ovarian, and some types of breast cancer.”
“Sayour and his colleagues have <a style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;" href="https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05660408" data-analytics-id="inline-link" data-url="https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05660408" data-hl-processed="none" data-mrf-recirculation="[Livescience] Article - Inline Link" data-mrf-link="https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05660408" data-custom-tracking-id="3743527965317849267" data-hawk-tracked="hawklinks" data-google-interstitial="false" data-label="launched a human trial testing a two-hit approach">launched a human trial testing a two-hit approach</a>: an off-the-shelf cancer vaccine followed by a personalized one,” Live Science noted. “This approach saves valuable time needed for personalized vaccinations and may induce rapid immunity that can be further seized upon by personalized therapy,&#8221; Sayour asserted.

University of Colorado football coach Deion Sanders announced on Monday that he had been diagnosed with bladder cancer — and that he had undergone a successful surgery to remove the tumor.
Sanders gave a <a href="https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/45843439/colorado-coach-deion-sanders-said-battled-bladder-cancer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press conference</a> at the Touchdown Club in the Dal Ward Athletic Center on Monday to update the public on his health, and urged everyone to &#8220;get checked out.&#8221; Sanders appeared alongside Dr. Janet Kukreja, director of urological oncology at University of Colorado Cancer Center, to make the announcement and take questions.
Kukreja began by touting the success of the surgery, saying that Sanders had been declared &#8220;cancer free&#8221; after the surgery was completed. &#8220;The results from the surgery are that he is cured from the cancer.&#8221;
After a brief pause, Sanders quipped, &#8220;You can clap, it&#8217;s ok.&#8221;
The audience laughed and applauded.

&#8220;It was dynamic. It was tough. It wasn&#8217;t a cakewalk. It wasn&#8217;t easy. That was a fight, but we made it,&#8221; Sanders said, adding, &#8220;You have no idea how good God has been to me.&#8221;
Questions have swirled about Sanders and his health since his son, Deion Sanders Jr., posted a video over the summer in which he could be heard talking about a &#8220;health issue&#8221; he was dealing with: &#8220;I ain&#8217;t all the way recovered.&#8221;
He opted not to address any health-related questions at Big 12 Media Days, further fueling speculation about his condition.
Sanders said on Monday that throughout the ordeal, he has also lost 25 pounds — but that he was ready to return to coaching for the 2025-2026 season.
He followed with a message to the crowd, calling on them to &#8220;get checked out.&#8221;

Former President Joe Biden told reporters on Friday that he could &#8220;beat the hell outta both of them,&#8221; referencing CNN anchor Jake Tapper and journalist Alex Thompson, who co-authored a book detailing Biden&#8217;s cognitive decline and the corresponding White House cover-up.
&#8220;There&#8217;s also been a lot of discussion recently about your mental and physical capabilities while you were in office,&#8221; a reporter said to Biden at a public event in Delaware, <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2025/05/30/biden_to_cnn_prognosis_is_good_i_cant_walk_but_i_can_beat_the_hell_out_of_jake_tapper.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to RealClearPolitics.
&#8220;You can see that I&#8217;m mentally incompetent and I can&#8217;t walk, and I can beat the hell out of both of them,&#8221; Biden responded, seeming to reference the authors.
Though Tapper details Biden&#8217;s cognitive decline in his new book, the anchor has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jake-tapper-flails-when-confronted-with-his-role-in-biden-cover-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">strongly criticized</a> by the Right for refusing to acknowledge Biden&#8217;s very apparent mental troubles during his presidency.
At the same event, another reporter followed up on the health reports and asked Biden about the 2024 election. &#8220;Do you want to reply to any of those reports, and also to the fact that there are some Democrats who are now questioning whether you should have run for reelection in the first place?&#8221;
&#8220;Why didn&#8217;t they run against me then?&#8221; the former president challenged. &#8220;Because I&#8217;d have beaten them.&#8221;
Biden added that he doesn&#8217;t have &#8220;any regrets&#8221; about staying in the presidential race for as long as he did.
&#8220;Look, there&#8217;s a lot going on, and I think we&#8217;re in a really difficult moment—not only in American history, but in world history,&#8221; Biden continued. &#8220;I think we&#8217;re in one of those inflection points in history where the decisions we make in the next little bit are going to determine what things look like for the next 20 years. I&#8217;ve been talking about that for a long time. And I&#8217;m very proud. I&#8217;d put my record as president against any president at all.&#8221;
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday&amp;_gl=1*1qdq03s*_gcl_au*MTYyNDg0MTE0OS4xNzQxODk4NTMz*_ga*MTEzOTk1NjkxNi4xNzI2MzI1MDQz*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NDgzNzg2NDgkbzEwMDMkZzEkdDE3NDgzODEwMTckajU4JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
&#8220;You notice the 12&#8211;the 10 leading presidential historians rated me pretty good up on that list—and the guy I ran against, [they] rated him last,&#8221; he said, referencing President Donald Trump. &#8220;So, we’ll see.&#8221;
The former president also briefly discussed his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/why-a-top-cancer-doctor-says-bidens-diagnosis-story-doesnt-add-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cancer diagnosis</a>, which was made public earlier this month.
&#8220;The prognosis is good. And, you know, we&#8217;re working on everything,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s moving along, so I feel good.&#8221;
Detailing his treatment, Biden added, &#8220;It&#8217;s all a matter of taking a pill, one particular pill, for the next six weeks, and then another one. And the expectation is we&#8217;re going to be able to beat this. It&#8217;s not in any organ. My bones are strong. It hasn&#8217;t penetrated. So I&#8217;m feeling good.&#8221;

“Dilbert” cartoonist Scott Adams said he received a call from President Donald Trump after announcing that he’d been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
“Somebody’s calling me from some number I don’t recognize, something in Florida and I sent it to voicemail. And a little bit later I thought, I better check that voicemail and see if that was anything I need to deal with. And the first sentence in the transcription, cause you know the phone gives you the text version of the voicemail as well. The first sentence is, ‘This is your favorite president.’ And I thought to myself, no, did I just send the most important person in the world to voicemail?” Adams told the audience of his “Real Coffee with Scott Adams” show.
The cartoonist said Trump left a message asking him to call him back, but he thought that was “ridiculous” because the president would be too busy.
“Same day, it’s the afternoon, and all of a sudden another call comes through, also from Florida, and I thought to myself, no f***ing way, there’s no way he’s calling me again, and I answer it, and it’s Trump,” he continued.
“At the end, the strangest thing happened at the end of the call when he found out, you know, the situation was kind of dire, and I was still checking out some things that might help, he said, ‘If you need anything, I’ll make it happen,&#8217;” Adams went on.
“And he meant it. He was completely aware of our, let’s say, parallel journeys from 2015, he mentioned it, and it was just the most incredible, weird, hard to understand situation, but boy, was it fun.”

Adams recently made the announcement that he has the same cancer as former President Joe Biden.
“I’ve decided today’s the day I’m going to take the opportunity — since a lot of you are here — to make an announcement of my own. Some of you have already guessed, so it won’t surprise you at all, but I have the same cancer Joe Biden has,” he said during an episode of his show.
“So I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones. I’ve had it longer than he’s had — well longer than he’s admitted having it,” Adams added.

Scott Adams Reveals Trump Called Him To 'Check In' After Terminal Cancer Diagnosis

Dr. Stephen Quay does not believe President Joe Biden was only just diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer, telling The Daily Wire, &#8220;there is a mismatch between the standard of care [Biden] should have been getting, and what we&#8217;re hearing about now.&#8221;
Quay, a University of Michigan-educated doctor, author, and <a href="https://drquay.com/">renowned scientist</a>, spoke to The Daily Wire just days after the former president&#8217;s office announced that he had been diagnosed with an &#8220;aggressive form&#8221; of prostate cancer that had already metastasized to his bones. He said he&#8217;s received death threats since he began speaking out about Biden&#8217;s diagnosis, calling the experience &#8220;quite bizarre.&#8221;
But Quay made it clear that he is simply offering thoughts &#8220;based on peer-reviewed papers that address large populations.&#8221; To that end, he notes that 85 to 90% of all cases, the disease progression from localized in the prostate to advanced metastatic disease is a process that plays out &#8220;over the course of five to seven years.&#8221;
Quay made it clear that while a rapid onset of advanced disease was certainly possible, that was only the case in perhaps one or two percent of patients. He also noted the fact that Biden&#8217;s cancer is &#8220;hormone sensitive&#8221; could potentially explain the former president&#8217;s physical and cognitive decline.
&#8220;The standard treatment would be to deprive the body of testosterone through <a href="https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/prostate-cancer/treating/hormone-therapy.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Androgen Deprivation Therapy,&#8221;</a> Quay said. For a man of Biden&#8217;s age, such a precipitous drop in testosterone could lead patients to lose muscle tone and become noticeably weaker.
&#8220;Out of 100 men, nearly 40% will have a serious fall within six to 12 months of ADT treatment,&#8221; he said, adding that another common side effect had to do with patients seeing cognitive issues.
&#8220;Some of that will be self-reported, where they just notice that maybe they&#8217;re not as sharp as they have been in the past,&#8221; Quay said, also noting that the people around the patient might also notice cognitive decline even when the patient himself did not.
While Quay said that he had no knowledge of whether Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doctors-raise-questions-about-timing-of-biden-cancer-diagnosis-unbelievable-this-was-missed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">knew of his diagnosis</a> prior to his office&#8217;s public announcement, he said that it was possible that the former president&#8217;s noticeably awkward gait and obvious cognitive issues were side effects of the standard treatment for his cancer.
If that were the case, he added, he could understand why someone in Biden&#8217;s position might have made a &#8220;calculated decision&#8221; not to release the information to the public.
&#8220;He might have not had the cognitive issues when he decided to go ahead with a campaign,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s true that he probably couldn’t be elected with cancer or cognitive issues, so at some point, he would have to make a calculated decision whether or not to tell people. But to speak to whether or not that was the right course of action, I stop being a doctor with an opinion and start being a voter with an opinion — and that’s fine as long as I can keep them compartmentalized.&#8221;
A Biden spokesman has said that <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/joe-biden-psa-screening-2014-prostate-cancer-rcna208120" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nothing was hidden</a> from the public and that the former president did not receive his prostate cancer diagnosis until last Friday. The spokesman also said Biden&#8217;s last known prostate cancer screening — called a Prostate Specific Antigen test — was in 2014.
Quay discussed the efficacy of PSAs in an X post shortly after Biden&#8217;s diagnosis was made public.
&#8220;Prostate cancer is the easiest cancer to diagnose when it first starts and to watch it progress to bone metastases,&#8221; he wrote.
&#8220;The PSA blood test shows the rate of cancer cell growth. For even with the most aggressive form, it is a 5-7 year journey without treatment before it becomes metastatic. Meaning, it would be malpractice for this patient to show up and be first diagnosed with metastatic disease in May 2025. It is highly likely he was carrying a diagnosis of prostate cancer throughout his White House tenure and the American people were uninformed.&#8221;

<h2>Biden&#8217;s Prostate Cancer, Health Problems &amp; Possible Cover-Up</h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-922417" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_01_40_28.Still004.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_01_40_28.Still004.jpeg 640w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_01_40_28.Still004-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></div>
Topline: As we learn more details of Joe Biden’s cancer prognosis, there are growing questions about whether the former president was diagnosed while in office, and if the news was kept from the American people.
The country and Capitol Hill are still reeling from the news that Biden has stage 4 cancer — news that’s come amid new evidence of the cover-up of the former president’s mental decline. Putting political differences aside, President Trump said in a statement that he and first lady Melania are saddened to hear about the diagnosis and, “We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.”
The more we learn about the former president’s prognosis, the more concerning it appears. Prostate cancer is typically among the most treatable forms of cancer when caught early, but in Biden’s case, it’s metastasized — or spread — to his bones. Doctors say that makes it nearly impossible to treat. Every case is different, but the five-year survival rate for prostate cancer patients deemed metastatic is just <a href="https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/prostate-cancer/prostate-cancer-prognosis">28%</a>. The severity of a prostate cancer diagnosis is graded on the Gleason scale of 6 to 10, and Biden is at a Gleason Scale 9, meaning his cancer is very aggressive and likely to spread further.
The former president issued his first <a href="https://x.com/JoeBiden/status/1924427587582828753">public statement</a> since his diagnosis was publicly announced on Monday, saying, “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.”
A stage 4 cancer diagnosis is a touchy subject, but when the patient is the former president, there’s good reason to ask questions. It’s very unusual for prostate cancer to have already metastasized by the time of diagnosis — that’s only the case for about one in twenty prostate cancer patients. Presidents have access to the best health care on earth and have regular checkups — medical experts say it would’ve been nearly impossible for a cancer this advanced to have only been noticed last week. If Biden and his team knew he had this serious, potentially fatal illness last year, and ran a re-election campaign without telling anyone, it would be among the biggest political scandals in American history. Steven Quay, former faculty member at Stanford’s Pathology Department, put it bluntly, saying, “It is highly likely he was carrying a diagnosis of prostate cancer throughout his White House tenure and the American people were uninformed.”
“Most likely he had prostate cancer for a long time,” Dr. David Shusterman, a renowned urologist, told NewsNation. “Aggressive prostate cancer such as this at age 80 grows over a long period of time. I mean usually it takes 5-10 years. … There’s definitely evidence that he probably knew about this for a while.”
The timing of this announcement has also cast doubt on the veracity of the official timeline. The cancer announcement came just two days after audio recordings of his interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur were released, and just a day and a half before a highly anticipated book documenting his physical and cognitive decline was set to be published. Skeptics say that the timing is no coincidence and was meant to deflect questions about a potential White House cover-up regarding his mental decline while in office.
David Axelrod, a political consultant and former advisor to the Obama administration, called for restraint on criticism of Biden and his inner circle in the wake of the diagnosis, telling <a href="https://x.com/WesternLensman/status/1924266629132591464">CNN</a> that “those conversations should be more muted and set aside for now.”
Donald Trump Jr. told The Daily Wire that the announcement timing is suspicious. “The fact that it breaks this week that he has it and we are told we’re not allowed to talk about anything Joe Biden right now because that would be uncouth screams to me to be an additional part of this cover-up.”
<h2>Trump&#8217;s &#8216;Big Beautiful&#8217; Budget Bill Leaves Committee Amid Intense Debt Debate</h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-922415" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_02_35_24.Still003.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_02_35_24.Still003.jpeg 640w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_02_35_24.Still003-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></div>
Topline: In a rare Sunday vote, Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” cleared a key procedural hurdle – despite grave concerns about national debt from within the GOP.
After President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” failed to pass through the House Budget Committee last week, several concessions were made to more conservative members of the House Republican Caucus to garner their support. The newest version of the bill features more cuts to green energy and will impose Medicaid work requirements for able-bodied recipients more quickly – under the earlier framework, those work requirements wouldn’t kick in until 2029. It was only after those promises were made that Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) and three other conservatives decided to vote “present” so the bill could pass out of committee in a 17-16 party-line vote.
But even with those promises, the bill’s future is still in limbo. Roy <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trumps-big-beautiful-bill-advances-out-of-committee-but-conservatives-demand-more-changes">said</a> on X that “the bill does not yet meet the moment.” Of course, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has to walk an ideological tightrope to get any legislation passed with a razor-thin Republican majority – more cuts run the risk of angering moderates over too many conservative reforms.
Context: The United States is nearly $37 trillion in debt with no realistic plan to begin to pay it off. Through April of this year, interest payments on the national debt made up <a href="https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-debt/#:~:text=Maintaining%20the%20National%20Debt,an%20increase%20in%20interest%20expense.&amp;text=Visit%20the%20Average%20Interest%20Rates,explore%20and%20download%20this%20data.&amp;text=When%20interest%20rates%20remain%20low,government%20just%20print%20more%20money?">about</a> 16% of all federal spending, and that percentage is almost certain to increase over the next few years. Moody’s dropped the U.S. credit rating on Friday from the highest possible AAA to AA1, citing the ever-growing federal deficit to explain its decision. That sent yields on 10 and 30-year bonds up, and, over time, it could push the cost of borrowing up – that means higher rates for auto loans, home loans, and even credit cards. 
“The debt is a long term train wreck waiting to happen,” Jason Katz, managing director and senior portfolio manager at UBS, a Swiss investment bank, told Fox Business. “In the short term, however, we have this sugar high and, hopefully, we can grow our way out of this issue through a larger tax base earning more money.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to Moody’s credit downgrade on Monday, painting a rosier picture of America’s economic prospects. “We have seen trillions of dollars of investments flowing into our economy since the president took office,” Leavitt said. “People around the world have confidence in the United States of America. And if you also just look at the raw economic data that we&#8217;re seeing last week when we were out of town, inflation dropped once again. Oil prices are dropping, gas prices are dropping. The president has added nearly 5 million jobs to the American economy already, so there&#8217;s a lot of optimism in this economy.”

Scott Adams, the creator of the “Dilbert” comic strip, predicted that he will die sometime this summer after revealing a diagnosis for prostate cancer on Monday.
Adams announced his cancer diagnosis on his “Coffee with Scott Adams” show on Rumble. Adams said that he, like former President Joe Biden, has prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bone.
“I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has. I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones,” said Adams. “My life expectancy is maybe this summer. I expect to be checking out from this domain sometime this summer.”

“Now, I realized that for some of you, this is hitting you kind of hard because you&#8217;re hearing it for the first time. Weirdly, since it&#8217;s old news to me, I&#8217;ve just sort of processed it, so it just sort of is what it is,” he added.
Adams did not spare his listeners of the effect that the cancer was having on him, describing it as “really painful – like really, really painful.” He also explained that he waited so long to inform the public of his diagnosis because “once you go public, you&#8217;re just the dying cancer guy, and I didn&#8217;t want you to have to think about it, and I didn&#8217;t want to have to think about it.”
“I am unusually mentally tough. So, while this could be much worse, you know, for some people, I suppose, I&#8217;m handling it quite well,” Adams continued. “The pain is tough – I mean really tough – but the mental part, you know, I got that under control. And I can see in the comments that some of you are having a tough time with it. But remember, nothing lasts forever. Nothing lasts forever.”

Biden’s office revealed on Sunday that he has stage four prostate cancer. The statement from his office said the cancer is an “aggressive form” that has spread to his bones. The statement said Biden received the diagnosis on Friday, sparking some skepticism among doctors who said that an advanced stage of cancer should have been caught in tests much sooner for someone who was President of the United States just several months ago.
President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-surprised-bidens-cancer-wasnt-announced-earlier-that-test-is-standard">said</a> he was “surprised” by the diagnosis on Monday afternoon.
“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,” said Trump.

‘Dilbert’ Creator Scott Adams Predicts He Only Has Months To Live After Cancer Diagnosis

A hallmark of the late Soviet period was that no one actually knew who was running the country. Leonid Brezhnev, who supposedly ordered the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, could barely speak in public. There was a concerted effort by the Politburo to hide his decline, to the extent that they could. By the final few years, it was clear that Brezhnev wasn&#8217;t actually making any decisions at all. Then, when Brezhnev finally died in 1982, he was replaced with Yuri Andropov &#8212; who, from the moment he took office, was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1984/02/11/world/us-doctors-believe-andropov-had-failing-kidney-when-he-took-office.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suffering</a> from severe kidney failure that often led to his complete incapacitation. Of course, that fact wasn&#8217;t disclosed to anyone at the time. But after Andropov died a little over a year into his term, the Soviets released medical files revealing he had been on dialysis practically the whole time he was in office. At that point, Andropov was replaced by someone named Konstantin Chernenko. And you can probably guess how that went. For his part, Chernenko was *also* suffering from debilitating health problems &#8212; including heart failure and emphysema &#8212; from the moment he took over. And once again, these problems were hidden, at least until he died while in office after 13 months on the job. And once again, in those 13 months, he spent a lot of his time in the hospital, unable to perform his duties. Yes, the Soviet Union cycled through three mostly unaccountable, incapacitated leaders in rapid succession, all while hiding their respective conditions from the public. You don&#8217;t need to be a student of history to know how that worked out, or what happened to the Soviet Union a few years later. Everything collapsed.
For many years, it&#8217;s gone without saying that, in this country, we don&#8217;t want to emulate the Soviet model of governance. Instead of being governed by a shadowy Politburo or an unelected bureaucracy of some kind, we&#8217;ve always understood that it&#8217;s critically important to have a competent, healthy president at the head of the federal government. That&#8217;s why members of the Cabinet, as well as members of Congress, have a constitutional duty to remove the president if, during his term, he becomes incapable of serving. It&#8217;s also why White House doctors release regular reports about the health of the president. Any effort to subvert this model of transparency &#8212; to revert to a Soviet style of governance, where no one knows who&#8217;s in charge &#8212; can only be interpreted in one way: It&#8217;s an attempt to undermine and ultimately destroy the foundations of this country, just as the Soviet Union was destroyed. And the people responsible for any kind of effort like that should be imprisoned as traitors to this country, because that&#8217;s exactly what they are.
During Joe Biden&#8217;s presidency, we&#8217;ve known for some time that his handlers were hiding some of the most dramatic evidence of his mental decline. As egregious as this cover-up was, it wasn&#8217;t entirely effective because people could still observe many signs of Joe Biden&#8217;s decline in public. What we didn&#8217;t know, until yesterday, is that Biden&#8217;s handlers were almost certainly hiding another very important piece of information, which is that Joe Biden was also suffering from terminal, stage 4 prostate cancer that&#8217;s spread to his bones &#8212; an aggressive cancer that will almost certainly kill him in a matter of years, if not sooner. In other words, it&#8217;s the kind of disease that, if Joe Biden had been elected in November, would almost certainly mean that Kamala Harris would be installed as the president of the United States. And there&#8217;s very good reason to believe that they hid Joe Biden&#8217;s diagnosis from the public in an attempt to secure exactly that outcome.

It’s just impossible to believe that Joe Biden went from a perfectly clean bill of health &#8212; which his doctor provided in 2024 &#8212; to having stage 4 cancer in a matter of six months. Pretty much every expert in the field is unanimous on this point. For example, NewsNation just spoke to a urologist named David Shusterman. Shusterman pointed out that prostate cancer is typically a slow-growing cancer that&#8217;s easily detectable by using a PSA blood test, long before it spreads. And as a president, Joe Biden would presumably be receiving these regular tests. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001 Biden Diagnosed" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dW1ois7uXIw?start=1&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
According to this urologist, it&#8217;s &#8220;pretty much unheard of&#8221; to get a diagnosis of stage 4 prostate cancer out of the blue in a situation like this. Even in poor areas without good healthcare, he says, it&#8217;s the kind of thing that happens when patients don&#8217;t get regular screenings for many years. And then he states that Biden may have had this cancer for a period of five to ten years &#8212; before he was in office.
And that appears to be the consensus. As Steven Quay, a prominent doctor and scientist, <a href="https://x.com/quay_dr/status/1924208125349171299" target="_blank" rel="noopener">put it</a>: &#8220;Prostate cancer is the easiest cancer to diagnose when it first starts and to watch it progress to bone metastases. The PSA blood test shows the rate of cancer cell growth. For even with the most aggressive form, it is a 5-7 year journey without treatment before it becomes metastatic. Meaning, it would be malpractice for this patient to show up and be first diagnosed with metastatic disease in May 2025. It is highly likely he was carrying a diagnosis of prostate cancer throughout his White House tenure and the American people were uninformed.&#8221;
In an interview with Reuters, Dr. Chris George, who serves as the medical director of Northwestern Health Network’s cancer program, offered <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doctors-raise-questions-about-timing-of-biden-cancer-diagnosis-unbelievable-this-was-missed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this assessment</a>: “I would assume that the former president gets a very thorough physical every year. I would be interested to know what his PSA was the last time it was checked. &#8230; It’s sort of hard for me to believe that he’s had a PSA within the past year, that was normal. .. 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.”
This is about as close as you&#8217;ll get to a doctor who believes that the official narrative is plausible. But even he thinks they should&#8217;ve been checking Biden&#8217;s PSA levels, and he wants to know what they were. Here&#8217;s the problem: If you go back and pull up Biden&#8217;s medical reports, you won&#8217;t see anything about his PSA level. And at the moment, we have no indication of whether they were checking his PSA levels at all. In 2019, Biden&#8217;s doctors reported that he had an enlarged prostate, but no cancer. You&#8217;d think that, perhaps, that might trigger some extra urgency for regular PSA screenings, but apparently not. Then in 2024, Biden&#8217;s physician reported that he was &#8220;a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.&#8221; But again, nothing about the PSA levels. There&#8217;s also nothing in the reports to indicate he was being treated in any way for cancer.
At the same time, CNN just interviewed a doctor who stated that, when prostate cancer is being treated, symptoms can include cognitive impairment and fatigue &#8212; which are both symptoms that Joe Biden obviously displayed during the campaign. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="002 CNN fatigue and weight loss" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gdqfbJ5VZSI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The urologist we showed earlier, Dr. Shusterman, said the same thing in his interview with NewsNation. These treatments can cause cognitive impairments. So that raises some more questions. Do we know that Joe Biden was receiving any of these cancer treatments that fried his brain and made him so tired that, according to his own aides, he wasn&#8217;t able to function after dark? At the moment, no, we don&#8217;t. But we also don&#8217;t have any reason to believe Biden&#8217;s handlers when they say he wasn&#8217;t taking these treatments &#8212; especially given all of their other lies, and given his behavior while in office. And that really would be the scandal of the century. Imagine if it turned out that Joe Biden was only senile because they were treating him for terminal cancer that they wouldn&#8217;t disclose. At this point, you can&#8217;t put it past any of these people.
In any event, it&#8217;s impossible to ignore the fact that they&#8217;re floating this possibility on CNN just a couple of days before the release of Jake Tapper&#8217;s new book, which goes in-depth about Joe Biden&#8217;s cognitive decline. And that presents yet another reason to doubt the official narrative, which is that Biden&#8217;s cancer was suddenly discovered this week. It looks a lot like they&#8217;re releasing this diagnosis in order to change the subject and garner sympathy for Biden. In fact, David Axelrod has no problem admitting that. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="003 Axelrod pipe down" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DdpOPoe2w7Y?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
It&#8217;s a very thinly veiled command. He&#8217;s essentially saying, now that we&#8217;ve told you Joe Biden is dying, please stop talking about how we covered up his mental decline as well as his cancer. And of course, CNN and the other networks will follow David Axelrod&#8217;s command.
To be clear: Saving the news of Joe Biden&#8217;s cancer diagnosis for *two days before the book release* in order to change the subject and garner sympathy is diabolical. I’ve never seen anything so cynical in my life. But that&#8217;s what they&#8217;re doing. They&#8217;d rather you don&#8217;t pay any attention to all of the evidence that they lied and deceived the public for several years, in one of the greatest scandals of American history. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="004a lying montage" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YRsNRWEMWWc?start=1&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

They don&#8217;t want you asking any questions about any of this. They genuinely believe that, now that they&#8217;ve told us Joe Biden has cancer, all of this will go away.
But it won&#8217;t go away. Instead, it&#8217;s just become a much more serious crisis, in fact. At this point, there are several questions that need to be answered immediately. First: When was Joe Biden actually diagnosed with cancer? Was he treated in any way for prostate cancer at any time while he was in office? If so, who knew about these treatments and participated in the cover-up? And did they secretly treat him — or did they not treat him, because the only way to keep it hidden was to do nothing about it? Or did they want the disease to kill him quickly after his re-election so that Kamala could take over?
We are well past the point where we can take any Democrat&#8217;s word for any of this. Cable news hits on CNN aren&#8217;t sufficient. At this point, we need Congress to step up and actually do something for a change. We need full congressional investigations into this cover-up. Put people under oath. Every staffer. Jill Biden. Everyone.
Whatever the case, it’s now clear that their plan to engineer the first female president was to push through a cancer-riddled dementia patient, get him re-elected by any means necessary, let him die, and then have her take over. That&#8217;s undeniable at this point. It’s the most ruthless, cold-blooded plot we’ve ever seen in American politics. These people are demons. Like their counterparts in the final days of the Soviet Union, they obscured vital information that every American is entitled to. In fact, the Free Press <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/the-joe-biden-cover-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> that &#8220;Administration staffers referred to Biden’s close-knit team of top advisers as The Politburo.&#8221; So they knew what they were doing. They knew they were acting like Soviet puppet-masters. And they&#8217;re still doing it. They&#8217;re refusing to answer the ultimate question that we simply must have an answer to, which is this: Who was actually running the country for the past four years? Whoever it was, it certainly wasn’t Joe Biden. These people are still out there. Some of them may be in the government right now. If not, they&#8217;re certainly planning to return to power soon. And before that happens, every single one of them must be identified, prosecuted, and imprisoned like the traitors to this country that they are.

Donald Trump Jr. has questions about the timing of President Joe Biden&#8217;s cancer announcement.
The president&#8217;s son shared a <a href="https://x.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/1924201945931079806" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> wishing Biden a speedy recovery. But Trump Jr. isn&#8217;t shying away from pondering the timing of the revelation, which came Sunday evening — two days ahead of the publication of &#8220;Original Sin,&#8221; Jake Tapper&#8217;s and Alex Thompson&#8217;s expose of &#8220;President Biden&#8217;s Decline, It&#8217;s Cover Up, And His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.&#8221;
&#8220;Based on what I’m seeing from other doctors, who understand it’s very hard to get to stage four metastatic cancer in a few weeks,&#8221; he told The Daily Wire in a text message on Monday morning. &#8220;People who die of prostate cancer, which can be incredibly aggressive, are usually those who either choose not to, or don’t have the access for these kinds of screenings, but apparently it takes 5 to 7 years to get to this point.&#8221;
Biden had access to the &#8220;finest healthcare available,&#8221; Trump Jr. noted, so it&#8217;s surprising that these health officials couldn&#8217;t detect his cancer for so long.
&#8220;The fact that it breaks this week that he has it and we are told we’re not allowed to talk about anything Joe Biden right now because that would be uncouth screams to me to be an additional part of this cover-up,&#8221; the presidents son continued, adding: &#8220;Who knew who was actually running the government.&#8221;
He pointed to messaging from Biden supporters like David Axelrod, who <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/18/joe-biden-prostate-cancer-00356411" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told CNN on Sunday</a> that discussions of Biden&#8217;s mental acuity “should be more muted and set aside for now as he’s struggling through this.”
Trump Jr. has also questioned what Biden&#8217;s wife, Jill Biden, knew about the former president&#8217;s diagnosis. The post quickly went viral, garnering over 30 thousand likes.
&#8220;What I want to know,&#8221; he tweeted, &#8220;is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???&#8221;

The Office of Joe and Jill Biden announced the former president&#8217;s diagnosis on Sunday, sharing that he &#8220;was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with 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 continues. “The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
The former president had a polyp removed from his colon in 2021. At the time, White House physician Kevin O&#8217;Connor said the polyp was benign but potentially pre-cancerous lesion that did not require further action. Biden had a similar polyp removed from his colon in 2008.
“Routine surveillance is recommended for this finding,” O’Connor wrote to White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki in a 2021 letter. “Typically, repeat colonoscopy in 7 to 10 years is recommended.”
The median survival rate for prostate cancer that metastasized to the bone is 21 months, <a href="https://corporate.dukehealth.org/news/where-prostate-cancer-spreads-body-affects-survival-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Duke University.
The Daily Wire asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday morning whether it is interested in further scrutiny of O&#8217;Connor, given the ongoing revelations about Biden&#8217;s declining mental acuity and the coverup of that decline by both his staff and the legacy media.
“I&#8217;ll let the president speak on that,&#8221; Leavitt responded. &#8220;I spoke to the president about the former President&#8217;s health diagnosis last night, and he wanted to extend his warmest wishes to the former president and his family. But as for any further action, I&#8217;ll let the president speak on that first.”

EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump Jr. Questions Timing Of Biden Cancer Announcement

Donald Trump Jr.

Vice President JD Vance on Monday raised questions about former President Joe Biden&#8217;s past fitness for office in light of the recent announcement that Biden has aggressive prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.
Vance targeted people in Biden&#8217;s inner circle, who have been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doctors-raise-questions-about-timing-of-biden-cancer-diagnosis-unbelievable-this-was-missed?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Doctors+Raise+Questions+About+Timing+Of+Biden+Cancer+Diagnosis%3A+‘Unbelievable+This+Was+Missed’" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused of</a> covering up the former president&#8217;s mental and physical decline from the public, and asked why the American people did not have a &#8220;better sense&#8221; of Biden&#8217;s welfare.
&#8220;We wish the best for the former president&#8217;s health, and it sounds pretty serious, but hopefully he makes the right recovery,&#8221; Vance told reporters. 
&#8220;I will say, whether the right time to have this conversation is now, or at some point in the future, we really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job.&#8221;
The VP then suggested that doctors or staffers helped keep the truth from the American public.
&#8220;You can separate the desire for him to have the right health outcome, with the recognition that whether it was doctors, or whether there were staffers around the former president &#8212; I don&#8217;t think he was able to do a good job for the American people,&#8221; Vance said.
 &#8220;And that&#8217;s not politics, that&#8217;s not because I disagreed with him on policy, that&#8217;s because I don&#8217;t think that he was in good enough health.&#8221;
&#8220;In some ways, I blame him less than I blame the people around him,&#8221; the VP said of Biden. 
&#8220;Why didn&#8217;t the American people have a better sense of his health picture? Why didn&#8217;t the American people have more accurate information about what he was actually dealing with?&#8221; Vance posed. 
&#8220;This is serious stuff. This is the guy who carries around the nuclear football for the world&#8217;s largest nuclear arsenal,&#8221; Vance continued. &#8220;This is not child&#8217;s play. We can pray for good health, but also recognize that if you&#8217;re not in good enough health to do the job, you shouldn&#8217;t do the job.&#8221; 
Biden&#8217;s cancer announcement comes on the heels of major buzz over the forthcoming book “Original Sin,&#8221; which offers a behind-the-scenes look at the physical and cognitive decline of Biden while in the White House.
For example, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/legacy-media-outlets-say-biden-book-is-full-of-bombshells-heres-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the book details</a> how some staffers thought Biden might need a wheelchair, and how the former president was sometimes unable to recognize friends and staffers. Meanwhile, the White House routinely stated how sharp Biden was and suggested anyone who criticized him was engaging in misinformation.
