When you know something isn’t right, but purposely don’t delve further to investigate, it is called willful ignorance. Three examples:

• One-third of American cities stopped reporting crime statistics to the FBI. This allowed the FBI to report that crime had dropped during the first half of 2024. The media (including The Epoch Times) publicized that crime had dropped without sharing that the FBI was missing crime reports from one-third of our nation’s major cities … willful ignorance.
• It’s been reported that Parkinson’s disease specialist Dr. Kevin R. Cannard has visited the White House MULTIPLE TIMES in the last year, per the official White House visitor logs. Yet, Joe Biden refuses to take a cognitive test … willful ignorance.
• Post debate, almost the entire leftist media (aka mainstream media = MSM) began sharing what they heard or saw related to Joe Biden’s cognitive issues. But they never reported it … willful ignorance.

As the United States of America’s soap opera continues (will he or won’t he be the nominee?), there is chatter that Biden might issue pardons for the entire Biden Crime Family before he leaves the Oval Office. Biden could only do that if he is of sound mind, just as anyone must be when signing a legal document. This could be a key reason he refuses to take a cognitive test … willful ignorance. If Biden is diagnosed as having dementia or another mental acuity issue, his pardons might not be allowed due to lack of mental competency.
