YES...glad you got "called" on that oversight about the NYT expose--they don't have any "dusty, old TRUE journalists in sub-basement server closets" anymore--they're all buried under stacks of pizza boxes in the DEEP STATE basement, J.C.!

No apologies needed for what you called Macron - he is a WEF 'darling' no matter what his physical features may be - his mental and spiritual ones are TOTAL DESPOTIC!!!

Merci beau coup, J.C. for ALWAYS dishing up the best "news supreme" on an almost DAILY basis--you are indeed superb!!! Bon appetit fellow C & C "army" buds!!

FYI: I saw this on July 3rd. I don't see it mentioned anywhere else, but it does detail the specific visible symptoms Biden is displaying and predates both articles:

"Mr. Biden has Parkinsonism, an umbrella term that refers to neurologic conditions that cause slowed movements, rigidity, and tremors. By observation, he has a masked face, reduced blinking, stiff and slow gait, hunched posture, low volume voice, imbalance, freezing, mild cognitive disturbance, and difficulty turning. I have seen one video of tremor. All these diagnose Parkinsonism. He would need further investigation by experts to determine which specific disease within the broad term he has, such as idiopathic Parkinson’s disease or another specific disease."

He also has more than “mild cognitive disturbance” just for clarity. He doesn’t know where he is most times and can’t carry on a sentence. At best he has Alzheimer/dementia AND Parkinsonism.

HJ's avatar

Yes. That's actually a different letter from a different Neurologist responding to the revelation about the Whitehouse log. Quite worth the read though:

https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/from-a-physician-parkinsons-disease

The one I posted is a response to questions asked after the debate. What they have in common is that that both doctors came out of the diagnostic closet only after the signals were sent that the debate disaster had pulled the curtain back too much to avoid this discussion.

Also: both doctors insisted on remaining anonymous.

There is a serious lack of courage in the medical profession. No surprise after the whole COVID caper.

The board-certified neurologist (specializing in motor skills affected by Parkinsons and related conditions) who was being interviewed by an MSM reporter yesterday was VERY upset by what the DEMONratic party is doing about Joe's "ability" to be POTUS - and he stated several times, "I'm a Democrat"...so there you have it! IT'S ALL 'SMOKE AND MIRRORS' folks when it comes to "governance" on a Federal level!

This neurologist stated that both BIDEN and TRUMP should take a 4 hour 'cognition evaluation' before either of them are elected to the office of POTUS!! Sounded like a GRAND PLAN (which will NEVER happen, of course).

A Dr. Ted Noel, M.D., also posted his own diagnosis of the Resident's Parkinsonism on The American Thinker on July 6. "PD is a waxing and waning disease. Today can be awful, and tomorrow better. Treatment can make the awful somewhat better but doesn’t change the disease. It just changes how it looks. And it doesn’t change the fact that there is, at present, no treatment that will reverse the disease. Joe’s over the hill and gaining speed.

Unfortunately, that means that the US doesn’t have a president. You heard that right. Even though Joe occupies the presidential residence, he lacks the mental capacity to be president. His Lewy Body Dementia variant of PD gives him visual hallucinations. We saw them demonstrated when he walked away from the assembled heads of state toward an unknown and invisible person at the G7 meeting."

To be fair, while Berenson definitely beat the NYT in the article about the Parkinson’s, there is chatter amongst conservative reporters that actually the NY Post broke the story first, or at least, simultaneously to Berenson.

I agree and I have to laugh at those who think that Jean Pierre could not - or would not= answer the questions shouted at her by some guy named Ed. Personally, I think she performed admirably and yes, calm down, was an appropriate remark. Remember, the WH correspondents have for years run back to their papers with whatever handouts the press secretary offered them without doing any digging at all. WH correspondents are NOT journalists in my opinion. You will find them, not investigating anything, the most they do to get out of the office is to go to the WH correspondents dinner where you will NOT find Alex Berenson or Glenn Greenwald. And to criticize Jean Pierre as a liar is a joke considering that she is paid to tell whatever lies the WH tells her just as the yellers i n the audience are paid to report whatever the editors of the NYT or the WAP want them them to tell. It is a bit late to be interested what doctors are vising the WH. I expect there were many visits to the WHy during JFKs administration as well knowing now what noone bothered to ask then. Plus, what possible difference does it make whether Biden has Parkinsons or not? These cracker jack reporters have missed the story for 4 years.

Actually, the NYT did NOT “check the White House visitors log.” Rather, they STOLE their “scoop” from fellow Substack author Alex Berenson, who coincidentally is a former NYT journalist himself. They can’t stand Alex over there, and broke all sorts of journalism ethics rules by completely failing to credit him for the story. Alex scooped them all by first publishing this on SATURDAY, July 6.

My hubby is a weather buff and has a weather station mounted on the top of our house (in Maryland). He collects data daily and has been recording this data for many years. I looked at the data for July for random years going back to 2010. This is what I found:

2010 - 15 days 90+ degrees/avg high 100

2015 - 3 days 90+ degrees/avg high 92

2018 - 6 days 90+ degrees/avg high 96

2020 - 14 days 90+ degrees/avg high 98

2022 - 6 days 90+ degrees/avg high 93

I'm not saying that climate doesn't change. It most certainly does but it is easy to debunk the climate crisis using actual data if someone were to research it instead of just taking the word of the MSM. There are some powerful people who want to use the climate crisis to control us and make tons of money.

Interesting you comment on that because a well known meteorologist who used to work at one of the main local TV stations but left suddenly under mysterious circumstances a few years ago reported that they are lying about high temperatures. Where I live the "official" temperature is the one at the airport but he said that temperature was running higher than all the other local temperature readings one day last week. They reported the official high as 104 but he said not a single other reading in the area got above 98 that day. He basically accused them of falsely pushing the climate agenda but by doing it in that manner will prevent people from taking it seriously. He called them out for cherry picking data that fits a narrative. He isn't a climate denier by any means but he knows people are questioning science a lot these days.

Yes, it matters where the sensors are located. Having lived in Tucson for many years (before moving to the Great Lakes region recently), I learned about the effect that being an "asphalt island" has on a big city in the desert's temperatures. Place the same sensors in the desert areas and they might register a truer reading of what nature is doing.

That’s interesting, too because Raleigh recently announced plans to hire someone to ID solutions for heat sink urban areas like you mention. I know when my car is on a freeway vs in my yard, the temperature repots much higher on the freeway. And it’s common sense to know it’s cooler in the shade…

If your sensor is 3" above a black asphalt surface your temperature reading will be much higher than if it's 6 feet off the ground in a sandy area.

I share that sentiment, that the daily dose of C&C gives me the kind of boost in spirit that El Rushbo did for the 28 years I was fortunate enough to enjoy his talent… I dare say Jeff Childers is the written equivalent of Rush’s wit and wisdom, encouragement, inspiration and especially humor. And as I’ve said before, I only wish (1) the joy of experiencing C&C lasted for up to 3 hours a day, and (2) that I could “consume” the content while also cleaning my guns. That is one area where radio is superior! For all the DittoHeads missing the great MahaRushie today, do yourself a favor and take a listen here (the clip includes the Doctor of Democracy’s incomparable voice as well): https://youtu.be/Qf1vllKXhls?feature=shared

Close enough?? 4 inches?? Man I hope you’re not in any profession where precision is a must 🙄

I didn’t say anything about anyone’s leadership skills. Only corrected your erroneous post. You throw so many red herrings that you could start a pickling factory.

As a reminder, Russia lost an entire s400 system to one atacms along with documented photos of another one being hit in Belgorod.

There’s one himars that was destroyed and verified along with 2-3 others that were flown back to the USA with damage.

Russia says it so it’s true, right?

It’s coming from a website named “legitgov”. It must be legitimate.

They claimed the destruction of Bradley’s before they arrived.

Without documented evidence they have no credibility.

My wife is 5'1", allegedly. She did like the 13 inch joke, either, way back in 1989.

I look forward to my daily dose of C&C! Keep writing with your unique blend of truth and humor and ignore the critics! I wasn’t the least bit offended that you called Macron “short”; I am short as well and it’s just a fact. My entire family is! Thank you Jeff for putting a smile on my face every morning!

Jeff, on the outside chance that this hasn't been mentioned yet, that "breaking" story by the NY Times was STOLEN by the NY Times from Alex Berenson. He has a few fantastic Substacks on the matter, this one from this morning (see link at bottom).

I think it may be important to note prominently in your writeup of the Parkinson's doctor affair that the NY Times did NOT break any news, they instead stole the news and then tried to pass it off as theirs, then when Alex publicly called them out on their theft, they surreptitiously altered their reporting without confessing or admitting to having stolen the story in the first place.

Here is BERENSON'S scoop, which the NY Times stole 2 days later and then passed off as their OWN breaking story.

All the news that's fit to print? No, all the news that's fit to STEAL.
