DEMOCRAT Calls for BIDEN to Resign Over Health Concerns
— Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) called for President Biden to step down and resign on Thursday. She cited concerns from her constituents about the President’s age and health. “I doubt the President’s judgement about his health, his fitness to do the job, and whether he is the one making important decisions,” she stated.
Perez emphasized that Americans deserve a president who is fit enough to lead. She urged Biden to put national interest first by resigning. “The crisis of confidence in the President’s leadership needs to come to an end,” she added.
Later in the day, Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) also called for Biden’s resignation after a NATO press conference. Despite praising Biden’s record and accomplishments, Himes joined Perez in suggesting it was time for him to step down.
KING CHARLES III’S Health Battle Leaves Little Room for Prince Harry
— King Charles III, having recently returned to his royal duties after a three-month battle with cancer, is reportedly too occupied to meet with Prince Harry. According to a spokesperson, the Duke of Sussex understands his father’s busy schedule and remains hopeful for a future reunion.
During a quick trip to London triggered by his father’s health news, Prince Harry discussed the ongoing challenges within the royal family. Since his departure from royal life in 2020 and move to California, he has frequently spoken out against what he perceives as unfair media coverage and underlying racism in royal dealings.
Prince Harry also attended an event supporting wounded veterans during his visit — a cause he deeply cares about. He shared in interviews that he hoped his father’s health crisis might help heal their strained relationship. However, the chance for reconciliation seems slim as their schedules continue to clash
This ongoing saga between father and son highlights not just personal family dynamics but also reflects broader issues of duty, media influence, and public perception within the royal family.
NETANYAHU’S Health BATTLE: Deputy Steps Up as Prime Minister Faces Hernia Surgery
— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to undergo hernia surgery this Sunday night. The decision comes after a routine medical examination, according to the prime minister’s office.
In Netanyahu’s absence, Yariv Levin, deputy prime minister and justice minister, will step in as acting prime minister. Details about Netanyahu’s diagnosis remain undisclosed.
Despite his health challenges, the 74-year-old leader continues to maintain a busy schedule amidst Israel’s ongoing conflict with Hamas. His resilience follows last year’s health scare that necessitated the implantation of a pacemaker.
Recently, Netanyahu called off a delegation trip to Washington. This move was in response to President Biden’s administration failing to veto a U.N. resolution demanding a Gaza cease-fire without ensuring the release of all hostages held by Hamas.
KING CHARLES Undergoes Treatment: Inside His Prostate Health Battle
— King Charles, aged 75, entered the London Clinic private hospital on Friday for a procedure related to an enlarged prostate. Buckingham Palace has confirmed this news, but how long he will stay in the hospital is still unknown.
This same medical facility recently welcomed Catherine, Princess of Wales and Charles’ daughter-in-law, for scheduled abdominal surgery.
Before his own treatment began earlier in the day, King Charles made time to visit Catherine at the hospital. The Palace had previously disclosed this “corrective procedure” for his enlarged prostate last week.
King CHARLES III Faces Prostate Procedure: The Monarch’s Health Update Amid Princess of Wales’ Recovery
— Buckingham Palace made a statement on Wednesday, revealing that King Charles III is set to have a procedure for an enlarged prostate. This condition, benign in nature, is typically found in men of advanced age. Born in November 1948, the King is now 75 years old.
This health update comes at the same time as news about the Princess of Wales’ wellbeing. Kensington Palace disclosed that she recently had a planned abdominal surgery and will likely stay in hospital for two weeks.
Charles became king in 2022 after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II passed away. As a constitutional monarch, his duties are mostly ceremonial and he acts upon advice from his Prime Minister and Parliament. Despite assuming power, Charles has been careful not to cause unnecessary expenditure by immediately changing all symbols related to his mother’s reign.
In other royal news this week, King Charles III’s new official portrait was unveiled. Featuring him as Admiral of the Fleet, this image will be showcased across schools, government offices and hospitals throughout the nation.
McConnell’s Health SCARE: Capitol Physician CONFIRMS No Stroke or Seizure
— Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell’s recent health concerns are not related to a stroke or seizure. This assurance comes from a letter penned by Capitol physician Brian P. Monahan, shared by McConnell’s office as the Senate reconvenes post-summer break.
In the past month, McConnell had two instances of freezing up during press conferences, sparking questions about his health. However, Monahan confirmed that there is no proof of McConnell suffering from a seizure disorder or experiencing a stroke or movement disorder like Parkinson’s disease.
The evaluations encompassed several medical assessments such as brain MRI imaging and consultations with neurologists for an extensive neurological assessment. These tests were conducted after McConnell fell and sustained a concussion earlier this year but has since been given the all-clear to proceed with his regular schedule.
Despite these episodes stirring unease among Republican senators and prompting speculation about McConnell’s capacity to stay on as leader, no alterations in treatment protocols are suggested. In other news, COVID-19 cases appear to be on the rise heading into fall with First Lady Jill Biden testing positive over the weekend.
