In it, I noted how, based on my experiences with my mom ahead of her October 2022 colon cancer diagnosis that I was having a hard time understanding how the woman who was and is closest to Joe Biden didn't notice any symptoms well before now. It also perplexed me how she supposedly didn't know what was going on sooner, considering presidents are supposed to have thorough yearly exams where clues about any potentially concerning issues sometimes can be found and hopefully addressed at the time.

I also wondered if Jill Biden did know something well in advance and still urged her husband to run for re-election. They were fair questions to ask, in my opinion, when one considers she reportedly was the one who most encouraged Biden to run for another term in office, even though at the very least, she had to have noticed the cognitive issues.

I've written some about caregiving in non-VIP pieces (though usually not in as much detail as I have here) and have also raised some of these issues and questions surrounding Jill Biden in non-VIP articles, and when I've shared them on social media (Twitter and Facebook), the feedback has sometimes been a little... interesting.

The vast majority of the time, there is general agreement, with some bringing their own valid points to the table and asking even more legitimate questions about the who, what, when, where, and how long.

But every once in a while, someone comes along on FB or Twitter/X who will tell me in so many words that they can't believe I'm not showing anymore compassion for Joe and Jill Biden, due to my experiences in caring for my mom and dad. This is what happened after the above piece was published.

I wasn't offended when I got the social media comments, but it did leave me shaking my head a bit. After all, one of the first things I wrote in the piece was how my heart immediately went out to Bidens. I prayed for them, too, because the "C" word is a diagnosis no one ever wants to hear, especially when it's determined to be in the more advanced stages, where the treatment options become more complex - and limited.

I don't wish anything bad on anyone, and that includes the political opposition. I also don't cheer or celebrate when it is revealed that they're going through a challenging health experience. In these situations, politics, to me, momentarily takes a back seat to what I feel is doing the right thing in offering encouragement and prayers, which is what I'd want someone to do if the roles were reversed. It's how my mama raised me, and she raised me right.

That being said, one can have compassion towards people and families who are dealing with health challenges and yet still want to pursue the truth and ask questions surrounding what I feel has turned into a much bigger cover-up scandal than was originally suspected. We now have an even greater reason to believe it wasn't Biden who was running the country for some or all of his four years in office, and that's a really big deal.

Obviously, it's deeply troubling from a Constitutional perspective, and we absolutely need to learn the extent of it and question people under oath and hold those responsible for it accountable.

But it's also morally troubling to think about Biden being unwell and unable to perform his daily duties and then having those who were supposed to care most for him perhaps present him as a figurehead to the public instead of saying enough is enough, if what we've been told from the "Original Sin" book is a close-to-accurate representation of how the Biden-Harris White House functioned.

And that brings me to Jill Biden. I didn't have a high opinion of her from the start, but it really sank the more I saw from Joe Biden's public appearances and how it was clear she was stage-managing him from start to finish.

After the fresh revelations from the book, my dislike for Jill Biden only deepened. It is unconscionable to me as a caregiver, as a daughter and a sister, and as a human being that anyone in a similar position could have knowingly allowed this to go on as it has been described in the book (and by a few others in the media to varying degrees after the infamous June 2024 presidential debate).

It is in part my experiences as a caregiver (and a daughter who loves her family with everything I have) that have helped fuel my outrage and fury over the whole situation, and it is precisely because of my compassion that I feel like we shouldn't rest until those who were "in the know" on this be held to account in the court of public opinion. 

If that causes social media netizens to question my character, so be it. Rest assured, I won't lose a wink of sleep over it.
