"Dilbert" comic strip creator and author Scott Adams shared heartbreaking news about being diagnosed with the same prostate cancer as former President Joe Biden, explaining that he is only expected to live until maybe "this summer." Speaking on his "Real Coffee with Scott Adams" podcast, the legendary cartoonist said that he has been diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer. It is the same aggressive form of prostate cancer that former President Joe Biden's team announced on Sunday that Biden was diagnosed with. "Some of you have already guessed, so this won't surprise you at all," Adams said. "But I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has.

Adams must enjoy every minute that is left of his mortal life. I have enjoyed his cartooning. And I managed to laugh at his cartoon strips on workdays when I was under high stress during my corporate years. As for me, my dad stroked in 1998 at age of 72 while he had prostate cancer. I am 72. My mother died in 2019 from dementia. So did her brother. So did her sister, but from Alzheimer's. So did my grandfather, mother's side. I'd like to think I am not a sitting duck at age 72, but I may be. People wonder why I go to the gym seven days each week to try not going the same way. The power of positive thinking and keeping the noodle moving right along. I feel great and wonderful. God Speed, Scott.

All of our sympathies should go to Scott Adams. Waste nothing on biden, even though he's clueless and was never running things. He has been an evil man as long as he's been in government office; he's sown every bit of this whirlwind he's reaping.

I doubt it #3. He has probably had it for years. But once it metastasizes to the bone, your days are numbered. Just because he made the choice to not share his struggle with rank strangers and become "that guy with cancer" before now doesn't mean he hasn't done everything possible to stop and slow the progression. Mr Adams, I will pray for you. I will pray that your pain will be lessened and your passing with be eased. Know you leave this world having made a difference for the good.. not everyone can say that.

Sorry to hear this. There are some people whom I wish would die after I do. Scott Adams is such a person. And Dodge Boy, please stay with your gym workouts. I do the same thing and I plan to continue doing so. There is a lot of cancer in my family. Hoping the workouts will help stave off the inevitable for a bit longer.

As you age it is vital that you begin to see a doctor on an annual basis. I went 45 years between visits and found I had a high PSA reading. Turned out it was cancer. Still early which allowed for monitoring and ultimately remediation.

Truly sad, sad news for the man and for the nation. Scott Adams is a true American hero who chronicaled the "tragic comedy" that is Corporate America. When I got my first "real job" after University as a fledgling Engineer with a large corporation, Dilbert became my and fellow Engineers' way of laughing at the very dumb things that actually occurred in the workplace. It was a way for us to figuratively "burn in effigy" Corpocracy's nincompoopery without earning "notes" in our "HR File." I remember thinking to myself how this guy struck a goldmine for material with his cartoon strip, and that he'd never run out of new material with every "great new thing!" that came out of the "Business Schools-Management Consulting Companies Industrial Complex." When we found out Adams was actually a sub-contract software Engineer in the Bay area, it made perfect sense how he could be so in-touch with "our world" to hit the nail's head each and every time. I especially loved reading Adams' adventures of "Dogbert, Evil HR Director," as it was so spot-on. I too witnessed how American corporations were never the same ever since HR was elevated to "Executive VP" status and given much sway in corporate decisions (layoffs), but having no accountability for revenue-loss. Scott Adams you were a hero and mentor to you fellow Engineers, and to many more in other walks of life. I pray that you take a special comfort from the many laughs you elicited from millions of your fans over the years through your acerbic comedic cartooning talent. Best wishes in your medical journey.

So sorry to hear this. Scott is a real treasure. I have a PSA test done at least twice a year and I urge every man to do the same. The last time it was checked, mine was elevated so I am going back for another check and the ole "digital exam".

As stated in the article, Mr. Adams has a podcast called "Real Coffee with Scott Adams" which is great. He discusses news headlines of the day. I was listening to it when he made the announcement about his cancer. Very calm, and just matter of fact. He stated bluntly he expects to pass on sometime this summer.

During the Sirius XM "The Megyn Kelly Show" podcast, Kelly asked about comments made by oncologist Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, who said on "Morning Joe" that Biden's form of cancer doesn't just "develop in the last 100, 200 days." Dr. Samadi not only agreed with Dr. Ezekiel that it likely wasn't just discovered, but said the comment in Biden's cancer statement, about it being "hormone sensitive," proves the diagnosis can't be new.

Poll after poll keeps bringing good news for Republicans and bad news for Democrats as American voters are feeling good about the direction of the country under Donald Trump’s leadership. Meanwhile, they're eyeing the Dems with ever-increasing skepticism as more and more negative information comes out about what really went down during the Biden regime. Despite some pessimism earlier in this, Trump’s second (non-consecutive) term, another new survey released Monday shows that a majority is feeling mighty good about the direction of the economy.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday gave the Trump administration the green light to revoke special legal protections for thousands of Venezuelan immigrants, which could pave the way for them to be deported. The high court granted an emergency application filed by the administration, meaning officials can move forward with reversing a decision made at the tail end of the Biden administration to extend protections for more than 300,000 Venezuelans under the federal Temporary Protected Status program. The brief order noted that liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the application. Litigation will now continue in lower courts.

Tapper is scheduled to appear on Megyn Kelly's podcast, which could be one for the record books, if Megyn's reputation precedes her.

President Donald Trump’s "one big, beautiful bill" survived a key hurdle in the House of Representatives on Sunday night, putting it one step closer to a chamber-wide vote later this week. Lawmakers on the House Budget Committee were summoned back to Washington for a 10 p.m. meeting to vote on advancing the legislation, which passed the panel in a nearly party-line vote. Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., made a surprise appearance at the committee room shortly before the vote began, telling reporters, "We think this is going to go well tonight. We're about to find out." He said there would likely be "minor modifications" to the final bill.

On Sunday, news broke that former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 and metastasis to the bone. The announcement, made by Biden’s office, detailed that the diagnosis followed the discovery of a prostate nodule after worsening urinary symptoms a week prior. While the statement emphasized that the cancer is hormone-sensitive, offering hope for effective management, the timing and context of this revelation raise serious questions about transparency and political motivations. The key question I have is this: Did Joe Biden’s inner circle know about this diagnosis last year?

Former first daughter Malia Obama is being accused of stealing a portion of the Nike commercial she directed from an independent film that debuted in 2024. Natalie Jasmine Harris, the creator of the film titled Grace, says she is shocked by how similar Obama’s commercial is to a scene in her movie. Harris says that the scene in Obama’s commercial where two girls play pat-a-cake is nearly the same in style as the scene in her movie. “It’s not about the game. It’s about the cinematic tools used to depict it,” Harris told Business Insider. Harris notes that Obama’s commercial has framing and camera angles that seem to mimic her movie.

BUCHAREST - Romania's centrist Bucharest mayor, Nicusor Dan, won the country's presidential election on Sunday in a shock upset over a hard-right, nationalist rival who had pledged to put Romania on a path inspired by U.S. President Donald Trump's politics. Official results from nearly all voting stations showed Dan garnering about 54% of ballots cast by voters in the EU and NATO member country of about 19 million people, while Trump supporter George Simion was at 46%. Dan, 55, a soft-spoken mathematician, made a last-minute dash to the top in recent days after weeks of trailing Simion, a eurosceptic wanting to end military aid for Ukraine in its war with Russia.

Hamas aimed to torpedo normalization efforts between Israel and Saudi Arabia with the October 7 massacre, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing Hamas meeting transcripts found by the IDF. The Wall Street Journal reported that Hamas's former chief, Yahya Sinwar, was concerned that normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel would take attention away from pushes for Palestinian statehood. According to the documents, Sinwar said that there was “no doubt that the Saudi-Zionist normalization agreement is progressing significantly," and that such an agreement would “open the door for the majority of Arab and Islamic countries to follow the same path.”

What’s not fine are the talking heads concocting a false reality about Biden. Here are two of the talking points reverberating around the media eco-chambers: he is a decent man and a longtime public servant. In many quarters, it is considered improper and unenlightened to talk ill of the dead. Though Biden is not quite there, yet, it may also be considered churlish to talk ill of the ill.

Word of former President Joe Biden’s diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer immediately spawned speculation he may have known about the disease while still in the White House — maybe even as he was pursuing a second term in office — but others are pushing back and requesting empathy for the 82-year-old. Urologist Dr. David Shusterman said Biden, who received the finest healthcare while in office, could have known for some time. He said the type of metastasizing cancer the former president has takes years to develop. “This is what I typically would see in a VA hospital, where a patient
