Donald Trump Jr Questions How Dr Jill Biden Missed Her Husband's Cancer. Her Degree is in Education, Not Medicine
Donald Trump Jr. sparked backlash this week after questioning how Jill Biden failed to detect her husband's prostate cancer diagnosis—despite her doctorate being in education, not medicine.
Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones, according to a statement from his personal office. The 82-year-old began experiencing increased urinary symptoms, prompting doctors to find a prostate nodule.
The diagnosis comes in light of ongoing scrutiny over Biden's health, the backlash of which played a central role in his decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race.
Shortly after the news broke, Donald Trump Jr. posted on X questioning whether Dr. Jill Biden had missed signs of "stage five metastatic cancer" or if the diagnosis had been hidden from the public.
The post, which wrongly implied she had a medical degree, triggered a wave of conspiracy theories from MAGA influencers and far-right commentators, who suggested the Biden administration deliberately concealed his condition, the Daily Beast reported.
Jill Biden obtained a doctorate in education from the University of Delaware in January 2007, allowing her to use the title of "doctor." She continued working as an English professor at a Virginia community college while also serving as second lady when Joe Biden served as vice president to former President Barack Obama.
Biden and his family are now reviewing treatment options. His condition—though serious—is considered hormone-sensitive, which means it may respond well to available therapies.

Florida Republican Ridiculed for 'Islamophobic' Argument That New Yorkers Would Be Scared 'Living With a Muslim Mayor': 'Disgusting'
A Florida Republican is being ridiculed online for suggesting that New York residents would be scared "living with a Muslim mayor" following the results of the Democratic New York City mayoral primary. Angie Wong, a political commentator and Republican committee member from Miami, suggested that people were "concerned about their safety" if Democratic socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani, who won the Democratic primary on Tuesday, were to win the mayoral race later this year. "I'm hearing from various people here in New York and they're concerned about their safety living here with a Muslim mayor," Wong said during a discussion on CNN Thursday night. Wong's declaration was quickly met with pushback from several of the other panelists. "The idea that because he is Muslim, he is a threat to Jewish New Yorkers — is that really what you're saying?" CNN anchor Abby Phillip asked. "No, it's because of his anti-Israel rhetoric he's been putting out," Wong insisted. "But what does that have to do with him being Muslim?" Phillip pushed. "You can go after his policies but what does that have to do with his faith?" "It's not about his faith, it's because he is perpetuating this anti-Israeli rhetoric and New Yorkers are hearing it and they're scared. That's what I'm hearing back from friends," Wong said. Despite Wong's insistence that the assertion was based on what she had heard from locals, her declaration was met with backlash online, with several users accusing her of being "Islamophobic." "If it doesn't matter he's Muslim why'd you bring up his religion you bigots??" one user questioned . Another wrote , "This is Islamophobic. She said the quiet part out loud." "Not all people who are Muslim engage in criminal behavior. Good grief," one user lamented . One added , "People are just flat out disgusting." Mamdani, who is Muslim and Indian, beat former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who was favored to win, in the primary Tuesday. The Democratic socialist's success was met with heavy backlash from Republicans and MAGA supporters. The 33-year-old will go on to face off against Cuomo again in November, who reportedly plans to continue running as an independent, as well as current Mayor Eric Adams, who is also running as an independent, Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa and independent candidate Jim Walden.

MAGA Influencer Turns on Trump, Calling Him a 'Chronic Disappointment': 'I Feel Embarrassed I Told People to Vote for Him'
Candace Owens, a prominent MAGA influencer, criticized President Donald Trump in a recent interview, calling him a "chronic disappointment" over his decision to enter the Israel-Iran war. Owens, a conservative commentator who gained popularity on YouTube by championing Trump during his first term, said she was invited on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" to discuss the growing divide within the MAGA movement. Owens argued the movement was rooted in non-interventionism and claimed Trump's decision to bomb Iran directly contradicted that principle. "He's been a chronic disappointment, and I feel embarrassed that I told people to go vote for him because this wasn't going to happen, and it is happening," Owens said. Owens stated Trump bombed Iran last week at the behest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the president's subservience to Israel is to blame for the MAGA split. "The reason that America wants a regime change in Iran is because Bibi Netanyahu is demanding it, and that answers the question as to why there is a split in the MAGA movement," Owens stated. "What we are seeing right now is the infiltration of Israel-first people; the neocons, people who have always wanted never-ending wars and the people who have recognized that following Israel's foreign policy initiatives has led to America being on the decline." "That's where I stand," Owens continued, adding that there was "no imminent threat to the United States" before the Trump administration dropped bunker-busting bombs on three of Iran's nuclear facilities. Elsewhere, Owens championed a regime change in Israel since "Iran's regime is not negatively impacting America on a day-to-day basis." When asked how she felt about aligning with New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), Owens stood by her stance. "The MAGA movement has always been a movement that explicitly did not want to keep involving our sons and daughters in the Middle East, so we have not changed that position. If AOC was always antiwar then she should have thrown on a red hat in 2020 and 2015 and joined the MAGA movement. That would have been fantastic," Owens stated. Originally published on Latin Times

MAGA Rages Over 'Anarchist-Socialist' Candidate Winning Democratic NYC Mayor Nominee: 'Truly Makes Me Sick'
Supporters of President Donald Trump are expressing anger and frustration at mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani winning New York City's Democratic mayoral primary, securing his nomination as the Democratic candidate. MAGA supporters have largely taken to online platforms to voice their discomfort and exasperation at self-proclaimed democratic socialist, Zohran Mamdani, winning his party's nomination for mayoral candidate. "The idea that a self-avowed socialist and Hamas Terrorist sympathizer like Zohran Mamdani could become the next mayor of New York City truly makes me sick," New York Representative Elise Stefanik said to supporters in an email. "If a socialist and Hamas Terrorist sympathizer becomes the next Mayor of the biggest city in America, every principle we hold dear as freedom-loving Americans will be under threat." "There will be another 9/11 in NYC and @ZohranKMamdani will be to blame," said conservative commentator and political pundit Laura Loomer on X. Texas Senator Ted Cruz also took to social media to weigh in on Mamdani's triumph. "To all my friends in New York who are not communists; Come to Texas! We love freedom & we're not nuts," he wrote. To all my friends in New York who are not communists;Come to Texas! We love freedom & we're not nuts. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) June 25, 2025 "Thank God we left NYC," added conservative commentator and former Fox News host Megyn Kelly. Thank God we left NYC. — Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) June 25, 2025 White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller also chimed into the discussion with his thoughts. "The commentary about NYC Democrats nominating an anarchist-socialist for Mayor omits one point: how unchecked migration fundamentally remade the NYC electorate. Democrats change politics by changing voters. That's how you turn a city that defined US dominance into what it is now," he wrote.

"Tonight, we made history," Mamdani declared in a speech delivered to his supporters just after midnight on Wednesday. "I will be your Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City." "Tonight was not our night; tonight was Assemblyman Mamdani's night, and he put together a great campaign and he touched young people and inspired them and moved them and got them to come out and vote," Cuomo said at an event Tuesday night. "Tonight is his night. He deserved it. He won. We're going to take a look and make some decisions." Originally published on Latin Times © Latin Times. All rights reserved.
