Today the White House has confirmed that Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19 – despite having received at least four injections of vaccines – after previously assuring the public that the 79-year-old did not have cancer despite his previous claims.
The White House confirmed that Biden will be “working and resting” as he battles COVID-19, and claimed that he is “experiencing very mild symptoms.” Biden has also started taking Paxlovid, the Pfizer drug that aims to lessen the extent of COVID-19 symptoms, but sometimes appears to cause the illness to lay dormant then return after the patient stops taking the drug.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who is black, gay, and an immigrant, told the media that Biden “will isolate at the White House and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time,” according to CNN.

The White House confirmed that there are no current plans to transfer executive powers to vice president Kamala Harris, who tested negative today.
First Lady Dr. Jill Biden also tested negative for the virus. She told reporters that Biden is “doing fine, he’s feeling good.”
The illness has forced the White House to cancel two events, one in Pennsylvania and a second in Florida.
The news of Biden’s COVID-19 diagnoses comes less than 24 hours after the country was left confused when Biden seemed to admit he has cancer while promising to use executive action to bypass Congress and executive his climate change agenda.
At an event yesterday, Biden told the crowd that oil companies are “why I – and so damn many other people I grew up with – have cancer.”

Eventually the White House began directing reporters to a tweet from a Washington Post columnist which claimed that Biden was using present tense to describe “non-melanoma skin cancers” he had removed in 2019, and that the 46th president does not currently have cancer.
Multiple pundits have noted that Biden used present tense to describe the cancer, and that doctors previously attributed the previous skin cancer to time Biden spent in the sun during his youth, not oil slicks on a windshield as he did yesterday.
Joe Biden is 79-years-old. If he decides to run for reelection in 2024 and wins, he would be 82 when entering his second term.

The oil industries’ products cause cancer… who would dispute this! We need CLEAN ENERGY production!

We are not even close to being able to transition to CLEAN ENERGY. In the meantime, we need oil and oil products. Can you afford an electric car? I sure can’t. Plus, do you know how clean energy is made? Oil, Gas, Coal.

THE COMPUTER YOU USE TO COMPLAIN ON IS MADE ENTIRELY WITH, AND OF, OIL PRODUCED MATERIALS.
(screaming was to get your attention)
Incapable of THINKING on your own, you react to what others tell you, and in the manner they tell you.
THAT puts you in the VERY LOW IQ group.

More than likely this is a bait and switch since he said he had cancer so they say he has Covid to hide him out for a few days. He’s getting farther off the rails for a dementia ridden President. They are probably trying out new meds. He’s on a lot according to research in the past.

Lots of oil wells in Delaware! I never though anyone could tell more lies than Hillary but Biden has proved me wrong on that point.
And so much for face diapers and jabs I guess.

Continually grasping for straws. Now going after the sympathy vote.
