Dennis Prager Update From His Brother Dr. Kenneth Prager (Pulmonologist)
Ken Prager’s son Joshua, a journalist and author, had a similar C3-C4 spinal cord accident to Dennis’s accident. Joshua was 19, hurt in a car accident in Israel, and he was initially a quadriplegic. Now he’s just paralyzed on his left side.
Dennis and Kenneth’s father had a similar spinal cord injury that left him a paraplegic for the last two years of his life.
Ken said Dennis’s mind is fine, that Dennis is making progress, but right now Dennis can’t move his arms and legs. Dennis is able to move a toe. He has sensations in his arms. If you touch his arm, he can feel that.
Dennis can’t speak. At times, Dennis can breathe without a ventilator and without a cpap. Dennis may be able to speak in the next week.
Ken Prager flew into Los Angeles to see Dennis at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center the day after the accident.
Latest update on @DennisPrager from his brother Dr. Kenneth Prager. @prageru pic.twitter.com/l3IpiyZ17s
— Marissa Streit (@marissastreit) December 20, 2024
In a video released Dec. 20, 2024, pulmonologist Dr. Kenneth Prager tells the CEO of PragerU, Marissa Streit: “I flew out to LA the day after he fell when he was in the ICU at Cedars-Sinai. He had just been transferred. He was on the ventilator. He has no recollection… In terms of a spinal cord injury of this nature, my son Joshua had the exact same spinal cord injury at C3-C4. He was in a motor vehicle accident in Israel in 1990 that almost killed him. When I flew out to see him, he was quadraplegic on a ventilator. He made a significant recovery and was able to walk again. He has been paralyzed on the left side of his body ever since.”
“Our father Max, the last two years of his life, had a spinal cord injury which left him paraplegic as the result of a medical procedure when he was 94.”
“Dennis, he’s awake, he’s alert, he has his sense of humor. The key goal now is to get him off the ventilator. When somebody has a spinal cord injury in the area Dennis has, it affects the nerves that do most of the work of breathing.”

SK posts on X: “When you add up what’s been said about his condition, it’s near-certain that he’s paralyzed at a high level (like, from the shoulders down). I assume he & loved ones are holding out hope that it’s not permanent & therefore don’t want to say it outright at this point.”

WSJ: How the White House Functioned With a Diminished Biden in Charge.
Richard Hanania posts: “Now it comes out.”
No. This WSJ article only adds modest insight into the depths of the problem. More will be revealed. And it will shame the news media that actively covered up Joe Biden’s obvious senility.
Now it all comes out. The decline wasn’t recent. He’s been limited throughout his entire time in office.
“At events, aides often repeated instructions to him, such as where to enter or exit a stage, that would be obvious to the average person. Biden’s team tapped campaign co-chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg, a Hollywood mogul, to find a voice coach to improve the president’s fading warble.”
“Yet a sign that the bruising presidential schedule needed to be adjusted for Biden’s advanced age had arisen early on—in just the first few months of his term. Administration officials noticed that the president became tired if meetings went long and would make mistakes.”
“If the president was having an off day, meetings could be scrapped altogether. On one such occasion, in the spring of 2021, a national security official explained to another aide why a meeting needed to be rescheduled. ‘He has good days and bad days, and today was a bad day so we’re going to address this tomorrow,’ the former aide recalled the official saying.”
“At some events, the Biden campaign printed the pre-approved questions on notecards and then gave donors the cards to read the questions. Even with all these steps, Biden made flubs, which confounded the donors who knew that Biden had the questions ahead of time.”
He thought he was going to keep doing this until 2029!
