Cynical defense of Hunter Biden: I was
addicted to drugs

Original Article

For years, President Biden repeated the same mantra when asked about Hunter Biden’s influence peddling and alleged crimes: “My son did nothing wrong.” It was always implausible — as was his denial of any knowledge of these dealings despite emails and pictures to the contrary. So the president and the press have been shifting to a new defense. As the father recently insisted of his son, “He fought an addiction problem. He overcame it. He wrote about it.” The family and the media have been cultivating the angle for months as they anticipated possible criminal charges.

Is being drunk a defense for driving drunk? It’s the same with illicit drugs. In this case it would only be accepted as a defense for political purposes.

Fine, he wrote about it. But, did he paint a picture about it?

The Demented Fuhrer October, 2020 "Democratic nominee Joe Biden on Wednesday described his son Hunter as “the smartest guy I know” -- amid growing questions about the former vice president's alleged ties to his son’s business dealings." The Devil made him do it!

Hunter is not worried as he knows that if it becomes necessary that the “big guy” will pardon him to show the world that nobody f’s with the Bidens!

Sorry I'm not buying this as a defense. I will listen to Hunter's business partner, Bobalinski, about the money stolen from him by Hunter and 10% for the 'Big Guy'.

Notice the very clever use of the past tense: “He fought an addiction problem. He overcame it. He wrote about it.” If that's true and Hunter legitimately accepted full responsibility for his actions, how come Daddy still needs to speak FOR him? Why can't Hunter explain these things verbally by himself? Because Daddy is very much still a Classic Enabler, shielding Hunter from suffering the consequences of his erratic behavior. That's how Quid Pro Joe gets his power, his control. He's always just waiting to extend a "helping" hand by bailing people out in exchange for...whatever.

I have known crack addicts in the past who I met in AA meetings. That addiction is almost impossible to beat. I knew a young woman who got off of the drug, got married, had 2 kids, was clean for four years and then took a couple of hits off a crack pipe. Which resulted in her selling her engagement ring and car to buy the drug, abandoning her family and disappearing completely. I seriously doubt that Hunter is clean. Who knows what goes on in that $30,000 per month rental in LA?

The woman who claimed Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker paid for her abortion in 2009 was friendly with Walker’s wife and supported his campaign as recently as May, text messages reveal. Breitbart News obtained screenshots of messages from May between Walker’s accuser and the candidate’s wife, Julie. The messages, first reported by NBC on Friday, suggest the woman, who would later go to the left-wing Daily Beast with claims against Herschel, had entirely different sentiments about his Senate bid when his campaign kicked off after the May Republican primary. On May 24, the day Herschel, a Georgia football legend, was expected to handily win the primary, the woman texted Julie, “Good luck tonight!!!

Sen. Mitch McConnell has no excuse. The ads his political group is producing to attack Alaska Republican Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka are beyond the pale. Campaign attacks intensify in October because as the election runway gets shorter, it takes a sharp message to catch voters’ attention and seal the deal. But the money being spent by McConnell and his Senate Leadership Fund to attack a fellow Republican — one who may win and join the Senate to be his colleague — should shock the sensibilities of all conservatives. And it is shocking Alaskans, indeed. McConnell’s determination to destroy another Republican’s reputation is driving Alaskans away from the Republican Party

We’ve been covering a lot of data points that are moving in the direction of the Republicans just about a month before the midterm election. We see a Republican likely to win a House seat in Rhode Island — a deep-blue state — that hasn’t had a Republican in the position in 30 years. We also see Democrats saying they are up against it when it comes to money. They have to cover so many races where the Republicans are either winning or gaining. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has confessed they’re going to have to abandon some races monetarily which could cost them the House.

Democrats are napping peacefully through the US-Mexico “border” crisis they engineered. Perhaps these data will snap them from their slumber: The US Department of Homeland Security reports that the Mexican cartels’ income from smuggling illegal migrants into America has soared from $500 million in 2018 to $13 billion this year — up 2,500%. If these criminals merged into a corporation, their 2022 gross revenues would rival that of — are you sitting down? — Fox Corporation.

First Lady Jill Biden offered a rare personal glimpse into her views on abortion during a political fundraiser in San Francisco on Friday, retelling the story of how her mother helped care for a teenage friend who got an abortion 60 years ago. Biden, who was 17 at the time, said her friend didn’t want to be pregnant, but learned that a doctor would only perform an abortion if she underwent a psychiatric evaluation and was declared mentally unfit. It was the late 1960s, before the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision, and abortion was illegal in Pennsylvania, where she

Banks named Tracey Collins—Adams’ longtime partner and NYC’s unofficial First Lady—the DOE’s “senior advisor to the deputy chancellor of school leadership,” Desmond Blackburn. She started the new job in July, and got a giant, 23% raise to $221,597 a year, records show. Hizzoner named Banks’ girlfriend, Sheena Wright, and four other women deputy mayors last Dec. 21.
