    Former U.S. President Joe Biden Diagnosed With Aggressive, Advanced Prostate Cancer

    Former U.S. President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. His office shared the news on Sunday, May 18, 2025. According to the report, Joe Biden’s prostate cancer has spread to his bones, making it incurable but treatable. The news comes shortly after the former statesman underwent evaluation upon the discovery of a small nodule in his prostate. Several U.S. leaders have worried about the diagnosis and wished Biden a full recovery.

    Former President Joe Biden Has Prostate Cancer

    The office of the former President of the United States revealed on Sunday that former President Joe Biden has prostate cancer. The cancer is of the most aggressive type and has spread to his bones.

    Per CNN, the report reads, “Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.” It continued, “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management.” The official statement added that Joe Biden and his family “are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”

    The update about Joe Biden’s prostate cancer comes days after a spokesperson revealed that the former president needed some evaluation. They said that the care team had discovered a “small nodule” on Biden’s prostate. This is not the first time the former president battled concerns about his health. There were many concerns about Biden suffering cognitive decline during his last days in office. However, the former statesman, wife, and aides consistently denied those allegations.

    After his office broke the news of his prostate cancer diagnosis on the internet, Joe Biden also addressed it. He took to X, formerly Twitter, on Monday morning, where he expressed courage and thanked fans and loyal supporters.

    “Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support,” Biden wrote, with a picture of him, the former first lady, Jill Biden, and their cat.

    According to CNN, an insider says the former statesman is at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, this weekend, when asked where Biden is being treated. According to the Cleveland Clinic, prostate cancer is quite common in men. It is the second leading cancer type, after skin cancer, affecting men.

    Thankfully, it is often discovered early, according to Mayo Clinic urologist Mitchell Humphreys, and it is curable, especially if found early. Other treatment options exist if the cancer has spread to other areas. Prostate cancer can be assigned a grade level known as a Gleason score, and the most aggressive form is level 9.

    Leaders Extend Well-Wishes To Joe Biden

    Upon hearing about former President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis, several people extended well-wishes to him online. This included world leaders like President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Obama also wished Joe Biden a full recovery from prostate cancer. President Trump wrote on Truth Social:

    “Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.”

    Prime Minister Carney wrote under Biden’s post on X, “President Biden, I’m thinking of you, the former First Lady, and your family today. You’ve always had a deep commitment to family and faith, and I’m hopeful that both will carry you through this.”

    Former Vice President and Presidential candidate Kamala Harris also sent well-wishes to Joe Biden after hearing the prostate cancer news. She called him a “fighter” and prayed for him and his family. Harris also wished Biden a “full and speedy recovery.”

  • Joe Biden Grants Clemency To Michelle West Before Leaving Office

    Joe Biden Grants Clemency To Michelle West Before Leaving Office

    Before drawing the curtains and taking a bow, POTUS Joe Biden signed off on Michelle West’s clemency. West was a woman who had two life sentences hanging around her neck and was condemned to die in jail. The president heavily delivered his promise of addressing justice reforms by granting clemency to a handful of inmates.

    Joe Biden Pardons Michelle West In Executive Clemency

    Michelle West was first arrested in 1993. Since then, she has been denied her freedom while being convicted under mandatory sentencing laws. This meant her sentencing was not based on direct proof that tied her to the crime.

    Via Instagram, Its_onsite reported that West had always maintained her innocence. Sadly, she was sentenced to serve two consecutive life terms, after which she would spend fifty more years. This translates to dying behind bars. Still, after spending more than three decades in jail, she remained unfazed and continued to search for freedom. Her behavior inside the prison was remarkable, and fellow inmates spoke highly of her.

    On the outside, the advocacy to have her out of jail persisted. Miquelle West, the ex-convict’s daughter, pleaded for clemency while resounding the family’s pains. Eventually, in January 2025, President Biden granted clemency, giving West the freedom she so much desired.

    People Granted Clemency By Biden

    The ex-president has since touted his concerns for racial equity and justice reforms. On January 19, hours before stepping out of the white house,  Biden agreed for some convicts to enjoy freedom due to their exemplary character behind bars.

    Apart from West, other clemency beneficiaries signed off included Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Robin Peoples, Don Leonard Scott, Jr., Ravidath “Ravi” Ragbir, and Darryl Chamber. Meanwhile, women like Kemba Smith Pradia also enjoyed executive clemency. Unlike those mentioned earlier, Pradia was released after serving seven years out of her 24-year sentence when President Clinton pardoned her. Following this move by Biden, she will no longer be regarded as an ex-con.

    Joe Biden Commended For Justice Reforms

    This action has earned Biden some accolades from the Legal Defence Fund, a civil rights group that has long represented Pradia. This clemency not only helps the former convicts’ families but also gives the individuals another chance at living right.

    Funnily enough, Biden’s generosity also reached the dead. HereSpartanBurg confirmed that the president granted posthumous clemency to Marcus Garvey. Garvey was a beloved civil rights leader who chanted reforms for the black community. In 1923, the activist was allegedly charged unjustly for mail fraud. Despite his death, Garvey’s family has long fought against the criminal record with efforts to seek a pardon.

    Biden’s leniency with the clemency of these individuals has etched his name in the history books. While leaving the office of the POTUS with a deed to be remembered, he became the only US president to have granted numerous pardons. On top of that, Biden has left a legacy worthy of emulation, as his actions strongly show the country’s concern for the Black community.

    #Clique, what do you think about Joe Biden granting clemency to many before leaving office? Let us know in the comments.

  • Daughter Pleads To Joe Biden To Grant Clemency For Michelle West, a Victim Of Mass Incarceration and Systematic Injustice

    Daughter Pleads To Joe Biden To Grant Clemency For Michelle West, a Victim Of Mass Incarceration and Systematic Injustice

    Over 80% of women entering the criminal justice system are survivors of violent victimization, including sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, or caregiver abuse.  

    One of those women is Michelle West, a mother serving a life sentence for her first and only offense.

    Her daughter, who has become an outspoken advocate for criminal justice reform, is calling on officials to grant clemency and bring her mother home.  

    West’s clemency petition has garnered strong emotional support, especially from her daughter, Miquelle West, who has been advocating for her mother’s release. Michelle has been incarcerated for over two decades, serving a life sentence.

    “My mom, Michelle West, is a survivor of violence,” her daughter explained. “She is serving a life sentence despite having no prior criminal history, no arrests, and no evidence of being a danger to society. She deserves a second chance.”  

    Michelle West was convicted in the 1990s for her alleged role in a non-violent drug offense. While her co-defendants received shorter sentences through plea deals, West maintained her innocence, resulting in a severe sentence: life in prison without the possibility of parole.

    In her decades behind bars, Michelle West has worked to better herself and others, mentoring younger women in prison and dedicating her time to personal growth. Her daughter says this is proof that her mother deserves a second chance.  

    “Right now, only President Biden can free my mother by commuting her life sentence. I hope he will see that my mother truly has earned a second chance,” she said in a Change.org petition.

    West’s daughter is now calling on the public to join her campaign, hoping that enough voices will push lawmakers to take action.

  • “Do It Joe!” Former Kamala Harris Aide Suggests Unconventional Path for Vice-President Harris to Ascend to Presidency

    “Do It Joe!” Former Kamala Harris Aide Suggests Unconventional Path for Vice-President Harris to Ascend to Presidency

    In a surprising statement, Jamal Simmons, a former communications director for Vice President Kamala Harris, recently floated a hypothetical scenario that could lead to Harris becoming president.

    According to Simmons, one of the most likely paths for Harris to assume the presidency in the 2024 election cycle would be if President Joe Biden were to step down from office, per CNN.

    The comments have sparked significant discussion among political analysts and the public alike, with some viewing Simmons’ remarks as an acknowledgment of the complex dynamics surrounding the 2024 election.

    “It’s not that we’re hoping for this outcome,” Simmons explained. “But the reality is that one potential path for Harris to lead a presidential ticket would be if President Biden decided to pass the baton.”

    Simmons’ comments come after rumors dominated social media that the election was allegedly stolen and handed to Trump with the help of Elon Musk and his Starlink network.

    “The vice president has always been prepared to step into any role necessary to lead,” a senior advisor close to Harris shared. “If that role were to be president, she would embrace it, but only under circumstances where it would best serve the American people.”

    Still, some insiders suggest that a direct Biden-to-Harris transition could face challenges. “The American people may want to see a more traditional primary process play out,” said political strategist Lila Jefferson, “rather than a simple passing of the torch.”

    However, Simmons’ scenario remains just that—a hypothetical. Both President Biden and Vice President Harris have indicated they are focused on their current roles and responsibilities, committed to pursuing a second term.

  • White Supremacists Responsible For Over 80% Of Extremism-Related Murders In 2022

    White Supremacists Responsible For Over 80% Of Extremism-Related Murders In 2022


    In 2022, violence within the United States continued at high levels. The Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit that tracks shootings within the country, reported that an astonishing 647 mass shootings had taken place last year. Among these murders, were suspects with extremist-related motives. According to findings released by the ADL, the Anti-Defamation League, over 80% of these killers were linked to white supremacists.

    “All the extremist-related murders in 2022 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds,” ADL stated.

    Despite the amount of extremist-related killings in the United States decreasing since 2021, the amount of these murders resulting from white supremacy beliefs have increased. Though numerous human rights groups have voiced concerns over white supremacy in the United States in recent years, the issue of white supremacy began making headlines after former President Donald Trump hosted known white supremacist Nick Fuentes at his private club in Florida, Reuters stated.

    As individuals with ties to extreme movements and ideologies continue to kill people within the country, President Joe Biden has established an inter-agency group “to coordinate efforts to counter antisemitism, Islamophobia, and related forms of bias and discrimination,” the White House announced December 2022. Why anti-Blackness and racism against Black Americans were not specifically mentioned in the White House’s statement continues to go unaddressed.
