New in PJ Media:
After claiming that he was going to be holding a “major press conference,” Old Joe Biden sat down for a scripted, carefully filmed, heavily edited softball interview with MSNBC sycophant Stephanie Ruhle on Friday, in which he addressed the allegations against his notorious son Hunter for the very first time. As you’d expect, Old Joe was no more disposed to admit any wrongdoing than he ever is, so unwary viewers would come away from the MSNBC interview with the idea that Hunter is a choirboy, as pure as the driven snow and doted on by his proud father as he goes around helping little old ladies across the street.
Federal prosecutors are considering charging Hunter with tax and firearm offenses, and there are numerous other, more serious things for which he could be charged, but Proud Papa was nevertheless adamant: “My son has done nothing wrong,” Old Joe insisted. “I trust him. I have faith in him, and it impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him.” Gee, that’s touching, but it’s also even more separated from reality than the rest of the Biden “presidency.” It’s easier to accept that Old Joe himself is competent and coherent and that Rachel Levine is a woman than it is to buy the idea that Hunter Biden is an upstanding individual, as honest as the day is long.
Whatever Hunter Biden may end up being charged with or even if he is charged with nothing at all there is a massive “appearance of impropriety,” as Bill Clinton, a man who knows all about impropriety, used to call it. Back in Sept. 2020, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Senate Committee on Finance issued a report noting that while his father was vice president, Hunter Biden was “paid millions of dollars from a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch” for his presence on the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas company.
Hunter’s presence on this board caused a great many problems. The report notes that “the Obama administration knew that Hunter Biden’s position on Burisma’s board was problematic and did interfere in the efficient execution of policy with respect to Ukraine.” What’s more, “in early 2015 the former Acting Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine, George Kent, raised concerns to officials in Vice President Joe Biden’s office about the perception of a conflict of interest with respect to Hunter Biden’s role on Burisma’s board. Kent’s concerns went unaddressed, and in September 2016, he emphasized in an email to his colleagues, ‘Furthermore, the presence of Hunter Biden on the Burisma board was very awkward for all U.S. officials pushing an anticorruption agenda in Ukraine.’” It was more than just awkward. It was inexcusable, and it was clear evidence of corruption.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Joe Biden rules by Divine Right and anything Hunter does is perfectly all right. Hunter is a prince and is free to steal and destroy without any consequences. Joe is the logical conclusion of the foundation of corruption laid by Jimmy Carter, the Bushes, Bill Clinton, and the Barack Obama.

Two prominent children of the devil, doing the desires…

Joe Biden seems to be such a corrupt creature that he would say this about Hunter. Just part of the corrupt Biden family. As long as the authorities go after Hunter Biden and nail him for the corruption, then in the long run, it won’t matter what the demented clown, Joe Biden, thinks or says about anything.
somehistory says
if they actually arrested h biden, told him the charges and what sentence would be sought if found guilty, he’d most likely squeal and deal for a lighter time; and his old demented pappy would be charged with accessory before, during and after, at the very least.
Can we expect justice? With garland in the seat at the doj?
tim gallagher says
Do you think that Hunter Biden will face justice eventually, somehistory? I suspect that he will be nailed in time. It would be good if Joe Biden also faced justice as he definitely seems to work with Hunter in their corrupt endeavours. Surely Joe Biden, the demented old creature, will soon be just yesterday’s man and his criminal family will all have to face some consequences. It would be great to see. The Bidens seem to think that, when it comes to them, anything that they get up to is just fine. No morality at all
somehistory says
I’m no fortune-teller, Tim, but if enough of the people keeping him out of prison are thrown out of power, it could happen that he faces a judge. It could also happen if the ones working to keep biden in office and out of court could see a profit in turning him over for prosecution.
I fully believe if hunter does face a court, he will give up joe as the big guy…the mafia don of the family. as turning state’s evidence usually helps for a lighter sentence.
If they don’t face man’s justice, they will one day reap the evil they have sown.
tim gallagher says
I can only say that i hope you turn out to be right in everything you say there, somehistory. Of course, i suppose that Joe Biden is so far gone in dementia that he probably wouldn’t really comprehend what was going on anyway if they did nail him. There is definitely some kind of judgement coming for them whether here or in an afterlife.
Keith O says
You know what this reminds me of Tim?
Remember the old style news reports where some nasty, career crim got caught doing some nasty stuff & the mother or grandmother got interviewed, inevitably in hair curlers, and then there’s the statement.
“he wouldn’t do that, he’s a good boy”.
Sound vaguely familiar??
somehistory says
Except that the mom or grandmother would actually believe the boy was a good one. At the very least, most of the mothers would not have been participating in the crimes, even if they were given some of the profits from crimes of the “good boy.” (good boys try to take care of their moms with a little money now and then)
tim gallagher says
Yes, Keith O, I’ve certainly seen plenty of those short interviews over the years on the TV news reports where the family members of some vicious criminal tell the viewers what a fantastically nice person that criminal scumbag is. I suppose that, as somehistory says, many of these mothers would be trying to believe that their son is not a monster. With the Bidens, they seem to be all in on the corruption. They do seem to be an organised criminal gang. i suppose that this Hunter Biden seems like such a hopeless character that they have to find a way to give the clown a wealthy lifestyle through bribery and corruption.
Ade Fegan says
and every “good” democrat believes his BS
Keith O says
Career criminals, career politicians, not much difference either way.
Walter Sieruk says
Of course Joe Biden would say “My son did nothing wrong” What else would he say about Hunter .? Biden wouldn’t say “My son is guilty as sin.” That bogus “president”Joe would naturally lie to cover up Hunter illegal unethical and immoral activities .
Furthermore what Biden most always speaks lies . Many lies. So it stands to reason the Biden would continue to lie for his son. After lying is what he does best.
In all fairness, to Hunter just look who he has a his role model has has had fro all his years who , is ,none other but corrupt horrible creepy old Joe.
It’s Hunters actions fits the saying :Like father, lie son.” Regarding those two ,father Joe and his son Hunter ,the to other sayings are also appropriate for them. So those other wise sayings are “He’s a real chip off the old block .” as well as ‘The fruit doesn’t fall that fay away from the tree.”
