Staff Reports
Folks, it looks like the White House is doubling down to quash any whispers about President Joe Biden potentially having Parkinson’s disease. To that end, they’ve decided to parade out a letter emphasizing that the visits from a leading Parkinson’s expert had zilch to do with Biden’s health. Sure, let’s just take their word for it, right?
The fanfare started after a report detailing Dr. Kevin Cannard’s eight visits to the White House over an eight-month period, from July to March. Of course, none of this raised any eyebrows until the New York Times got wind of it. Cannard not only paid a call to the White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor but also had a chit-chat with a cardiologist. Hmm, nothing to see here, folks—move along!
Breaking News: A Parkinson’s expert visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring, according to official visitor logs. The administration has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease. https://t.co/VSwOttPEGK

According to O’Connor, Dr. Cannard is merely a distinguished neurologist who’s been helping out with the medical woes of active-duty staff at the White House. Parkinson’s expert or not, O’Connor assures us that Cannard’s regular check-ups on Biden during his annual physicals absolutely did not turn up any signs of Parkinson’s or other related neurological disorders. That’s a relief—because scrubbing logs of specialized visits would be too much work!
But wait, there’s more! In her typical combative style, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed any and all questions about Biden’s supposed Parkinson’s treatment. No, no, and no. Biden hasn’t been treated, isn’t being treated, and definitely isn’t on any meds for Parkinson’s. Because everyone knows denying three times makes it extra true, right?
The left-leaning media may twist in knots trying to paint a rosy picture, but even some Democrats are getting queasy. Democratic Rep. Adam Smith from Washington nearly popped a vein expressing how much he’d love to see Biden bow out of the race. According to Smith, the Dems would breathe a collective sigh of relief if Biden stepped aside for a guy who could actually finish a sentence without stuttering through half of it.
And here’s the kicker: Biden has zero plans to put himself through a cognitive test to calm the jitters about his mental state. House Democrats are all set to have a huddle about their support for Biden’s campaign, a topic sure to be more riveting than Biden wandering off mid-sentence.
While Biden and his pals downplay the visits and wave off concerns, America is left to wonder if they’re getting the truth or another smoke-and-mirrors routine. Either way, it’s one more reason that the 2024 election is shaping up to be the most critical battleground for our nation’s future. It’s time to stay vigilant because while they scramble to hide the skeletons in the closet, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
