Joe Biden has about 17 months left as an elected politician—if he is lucky. That projection guides most of the inexplicable and shameless behavior of the Department of Justice and Biden himself. View Biden as in a race against the truth. Will he be physically and mentally able to complete his term and head to retirement before his decades-long crimes of corruption catch up to him?
Joe Biden’s serial yarn that he never knew anything about his son Hunter’s quid pro quo grifting with rich foreign grandees has been finally exposed as the old lie it always was.
Biden’s fallback untruth—that he never got involved in Hunter’s business—proved instantly laughable, given prior damning testimonies from Hunter’s business associates, from IRS whistleblowers, from the assertions of foreign beneficiaries, from Hunter’s own laptop, and from Joe’s own earlier loudmouth braggadocio about using threats of canceling U.S. foreign aid to fire a Ukrainian prosecutor looking into corruption of the sort in which his own son was knee deep. (Did not then president Barack Obama know the nature of Biden corruption when he appointed him as point man on Ukraine)?
To his partners in corruption, Hunter referred to his father variously as the “big guy” as well as the recipient of “ten percent” of the leveraged income. And apparently as a rather greedy pop, Hunter whined that Joe himself demanded half of all Hunter’s own shake-down income from abroad—despite Hunter’s payment of many of Joe’s monthly bills incurred on his palatial lakeshore mansion.
At some point, even the corrupt leftwing media and DNC cannot continue to laugh off eyewitness testimonies, whistleblowers’ revelations, bank records, Hunter Biden’s own computer messaging, Joe Biden’s phone calls and personal appearances, and the evidence from foreign beneficiaries.
And then there is simply the power of reason and logic.
Over the last five years of this hushed-up tawdry saga, Americans knew immediately that Joe Biden was lying in all his denials of any involvement whatsoever in the procurement of a large part of his income from abroad simply because no one in the entire Biden family had any business, investment, or energy expertise. In other words, as grifters without Joe, the Bidens had zero market value.
As energy consultants, financial investors, or international analysts, they had no qualifications—a fact known and remarked upon by their corrupt foreign partners. If any doubt about that, try to guess how much the prior cash recipients Jim or Hunter or Sarah or Hallie or Kathleen Biden will be getting from foreign concerns for services rendered after Joe leaves office.
The Biden familial mediocrities had nothing to offer shady wealthy foreign interests other than they were not only related to the Vice President of the United States, but also could guarantee that Joe Biden had no scruples whatsoever, and so even while in office he would call or meet his son’s associates to substantiate Hunter’s promises of favorable diplomatic or business treatment from the Obama—or a future Biden—administration. Note Biden seemed to have no worries whether his family’s lobbying of Ukraine, Russia, or China was in conflict with the interests of his own country.
And so deals were cut, millions were rerouted to Biden accounts to avoid scrutiny, and the Biden clan got rich off Joe’s offices and his son’s rank criminality. Joe’s adjusted gross income on his 2016 return of $396,456 soared on his 2017 return to more than $11 million. No one knows whether these or any of Biden’s returns showed reported income commensurate with what either he actually received or with his lavish lifestyle, bank accounts, and his multiple expensive homes.
Rarely has any prosecutor enjoyed a more riveting confessional than Hunter Biden’s own laptop that established his credentials as a drug addict who burned up millions of dollars on his various drug and sex addictions, while confirming that his own father was central to the family consortium’s shake-downs. Without an obsequious media, a Democratic Senate, and a weaponized Department of Justice, all the Biden recipients of foreign cash would by now have been prosecuted, and likely found guilty of an array of felonies.
But like everything Joe and Hunter do to excess, they were not just shameless in their raking in money by using Joe’s senatorial and then vice presidential offices and likely presidential candidacy, but in covering up their crimes.
Nothing is more emblematic of that brazenness than Biden aide and future Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s phone call to a former CIA interim director to round up 50 intelligence “authorities” to lie on the eve of the 2020 debate and election that the laptop was likely “Russian disinformation.” To go to such extremes to leverage proverbially retired “wise men” to so blatantly misinform, disinform and warp a presidential election reflects the paranoia of the Biden family over Hunter’s laptop confessional.
Enter Merrick Garland. Like Blinken, his job description entailed hiding the truth about Hunter Biden’s incriminating evidence. First, Garland had assured the nation that no special counsel was needed to investigate the Bidens’ influence peddling. And on spec his lieutenant Delaware prosecutor David Weiss slow walked for years all investigations of Biden family wrongdoing.
The Biden Department of Justice since January 2021 assumed that with a Democratic House and an obsequious media, it could simply run out the clock on any of the many Biden crimes that were not sufficiently covered up. Any problematic data or testimony that eventually entered the public domain, would do so only after the statute of limitations had expired. This cover-up continued to work well for the first two years of the Biden administration.
But then the unexpected happened. First, the Republicans took the House in 2022 and suddenly had the ability to subpoena witnesses and documents over the objections of the media and Democratic congressional toadies.
Second, the Ukraine war broke out and had refocused popular interest in the past Biden-Ukrainian profiteering.
Third, when Donald Trump announced his reelection candidacy, he was soon met with a cohort of weaponized leftwing prosecutors. Immediately he and his supporters legitimately pointed out that while he was being politically neutered by the left, his possible 2024 opponent Joe Biden was given de facto exemptions.
Finally, the congressional testimonies and whistleblowers grew so embarrassing, and the stark contrast between the government coverup of Biden crimes and the weaponized effort to destroy Trump so glaring, that even Biden’s handlers and Merrick Garland were forced to act—at least sort of.
So last week the DOJ flipped. It abruptly announced that after years of a deliberately stalled David Weiss investigation and the collapse of Weiss’s own phony plea deal before an honest judge, Garland would now appoint a special counsel, after all—again, sort of.
Garland then did something so outrageous that it eclipsed even his prior blatant politicalization of his department. First, he violated the special counsel statute by hiring an inside government attorney—another apparent confirmation that Garland and Biden were paranoid that any legitimate outside counsel might well tap into a gold mine of Biden family felonies.
Second, he selected as independent counsel none other than David Weiss, the very prosecutor who had tried but failed to fool a judge into accepting a laughable Hunter Biden plea deal. Weiss’s only other alluring recommendation was that he had previously spearheaded and slow walked the DOJ non-investigation of Hunter.
Third, by elevating the title—but not the mission—of Weiss in a manner that previously he promised he would not, Garland cleverly ensured that Weiss would likely not show up to testify before the House about prior and ongoing whistleblower allegations that prosecutor Weiss had blocked investigations concerning Hunter that otherwise might well have led to multiple felony indictments. Now as special counsel, Weiss will even likely refuse congressional subpoenas concerning incriminating Biden information on grounds they would prejudice or interfere with his own special counsel inquiries.
How could Garland believe he could fool the American people with the veneer of a special counsel appointee and then violate the very spirit and text of the law about such appointments by naming Weiss?
Reason is not what guides the petulant Garland, who has never recovered from the trauma of being humiliated when his Barack Obama lame-duck supreme court appointment was recessed by a Republican Senate. Instead, Biden rescued Garland from bitter obscurity with the implied rationale, as Joe himself has mused openly to friends, that Garland should go after Trump, Biden’s past nemesis, and now his leading opponent in the 2024 presidential race.
What then is the long-term Democrat strategy that requires such short-term malodorous skullduggery?
Biden must be healthy and crime-free enough to finish his remaining term, but at all costs not run for reelection. A full one-term Biden prevents a 2023 or 2024 presidency of an utterly incompetent Kamala Harris and thus in addition her route to the 2024 Democratic nomination—and in theory perhaps even a longer presidential tenure.
Democrats will have enough trouble keeping Biden semi-coherent and upright over the 17 months without a string of indictments involving high crimes and misdemeanors from bribery to treason, if indeed Biden did alter U.S. policy at the bequest of his paymasters in China, Russia, Ukraine or Romania.
In other words, Weiss was selected for his past loyal suppression of the Hunter investigation and his future further quashing indictments as special counsel. That fact almost ensures that Biden can finish his first term without an impeachment trial in the Senate or a forced Nixon-style resignation, given the enormity of his own illegality.
Ensuring the viability of Biden’s next year-and-half will mean Kamala Harris does not inherit the presidency from either a physically or mentally incompetent Biden—or a president so reduced by bribery and racketeering counts that he is forced to resign.
Biden then will likely not run for reelection, pleading age rather than his own and family’s blatant corruption. That will be another subtext for Weiss’s slothful investigation to be ground down into oblivion. Harris will not be president, and be reduced to just another wannabe 2024 primary candidate. She will likely, as in 2016, not win a single delegate.
By 2024, Democrats will be seeking a young Gavin Newson-like candidate. Harris will not be the nominee, much less President by default. And Joe will likely be so bewildered that Weiss in a few months “for the sake of the country” will not hound either an enfeebled ex-president or his dutiful son.
DOJ lawfare then works in two ways: by commission in neutering the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump after trying to ensure that he will win the Republican primary and nomination; by omission, in de facto suppressing momentum for Biden indictments and thus allowing the Biden family to be prison-free through 2024 and onto retirement—and thus sparing the nation a Harris presidency.
The House can’t prosecute, only investigate and refer.
If the truth is all we have, then let’s have it all.
If there are ten thousand viable prosecutions possible of Democrats engaging in clearly illegal actions, like violations of immigration statutes, get the goods and build dossiers.
If we can’t send the minions of corruption to Hell, shoot for prison.
Is it just me or does Alzheimer Joe look like a mangy buzzard?
It’s you – he looks more like a Mummy
Good one! Every time I see his image I want to barf.
You know who else looks like a mummy? Obama. He looks like a mummified monkey.
I was thinking more that he resembles the discarded adult diaper that hit him in the face.
Diaper Joe, that’s him. A real shit eater.
More like Jeff Dunham’s angry old man ventriloquist dummy.
“Walter” the puppet, is by light-years, a more patriotic American than Bribem.
And smarter, too.
He looks like a dimwitted dolt.
The rotting fool has an undeniable resume’ that will now cost him.
He tells such painfully idiotic lies, that the courtier press have now become exhausted in cleaning up after him. (He’s just as compulsive as Al Gore & twice as stupid.)
His chickenshit enablers didn’t care that the empty suit had long past his expiration date; they knew they could manipulate him. (I’m not sure if they knew China had dibs, as Sleepy whores himself out to any tyrant with a buck.)
All,
Nothing is going to change. And, barking up the perpetual tree won’t help. However, maybe continual pontificating cruises might help. Next.
Have they neutered a Trump campaign or do they simply plan widespread vote fraud in every which way they can. Starting now with censoring those who have certain opinions from mainstream access.
Why avoid the notion of vote fraud in this discussion? Why should we believe we have fair elections? Is it because otherwise, maybe, there is nothing much to say? And writers may as well put down their pens?
And readers better use their energy to “batten the hatches.”
& Let me know when a hero, other than `President Trump, that is, shows up.
An activist brazenly turned in 10,000 voter applications in Michigan – many with the same handwriting.
Also; in 2000, Al Gore had also voiced trying to “find votes”, all while his lawyer team were tossing any vote possible that came in from the Florida military absentee ballots.
Sorry Cat. Real heroes are few and far between.
Yes, why avoid the notion of voter fraud and the unlikelihood of fair elections?
Exactly for the reasons you give and because America is the land of “everything will be OK” optimism as the popular trite saying goes.
Nobody likes a pessimist. Nobody likes the truth either it seems, so the writers keep writing optimistically and the readers keep saying to themselves: See, everything will be OK.
Maybe. Maybe not.
The Left isn’t going to let “a hero” emerge. When the Tea Party was getting legs, it chopped them off through the media and IRS. When Trump started a popular movemement they put into motion an all of government and media operation to destroy him. The Left has cultural, informational, governmental, academic, and media dominance. They aren’t going to let go of that to any “hero.”
Vivek may be one if a review of his history keeps him in the running. He promises to remove the corrupt DOJ/FBI. He needs more review but so far he offers some hope.
Whomever gets the call, if he wins, RK Jr. should be put in charge of the CDC or FDA, etc. Lots of cleaning is needed there. Once a decent AG is found and installed, Fauci and his supporters need to be given justice for their crimes – WHY do we taxpayers pay Red China to develop bugs used against us at the Wuhan Lab? Did not Fauci know the CCP controls that lab?
Enter Jay Valentine’s Undeliverable Ballot Database! (See omega4america.com)
“The Undeliverable Ballot Database ingests county property tax rolls and cross checks them with corresponding election rolls.” You know darn well the government works VERY hard to make sure their tax roll information is accurate, so they can steal as much money from you as possible. Ho ho!
Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
Hero voters are few and far between – and you hope to find a hero candidate from the miniscule number who step forward for the shyte and abuse that comes with doing that.
I’ll settle for the one with the best likelihood of replacing the Soviet Democrats in the White House.
Even Pierre Delecto Romney or the White Lizzo, Chris Christy, would be better than another term of Biden/Newsom/etc.
They can and WILL laugh it off. Because once the entire government had tipped over into the weaponized and deeply corrupt fascist state it is in, the guilty will continue to go free and the innocent will continue to be persecuted, imprisoned and killed (that’s you Ashli!) Who can hold them to account, barring some extralegal avenger? Nobody, that’s who. And so they will cheat to win again and again, and continue to throw political dissidents in jail, or just send FBI goon squads to eliminate them. The Republic is already dead.
It’s sad to hear you’ve given up. Go find a quiet corner, get your coloring book out & stay out of the way. The rest of us have some serious country saving work to do.
You got it, Vic !!!!!!!!!
What are you going to do? Seriously? What? Write angry comments on a web site?
We need a real hero like that of the old time radio: the Shadow. Only the Shadow knows what evil lies in the heart of man.
The Left is brazen in its corruption of all our institution and relies on a largely gullible and ignorant populace (thanks to our garbage media) to ignore its behavior although it pushes it right in its face. They destroy the records of the Jan. 6 committee, appoint the guy who kept vital information from investigators and tanked the Hunter probe as a Special Prosecutor on the same probe revisited, and indict a former President and Presidential candidate on frivolous charges and alleged crimes that pale in comparison to those committed by Democrats without prosecution with utter impunity. Just yesterday I saw a video of Biden again saying that he cut the debt by $1.7 trillion and the crowd applauded. Not a single person apparently realized that he’s massively increased the debt and that it has increased every single year he has been in office. It’s just a blatant lie and they applaud. What are you going to do with a country that stupid and passive?
Lock ‘n Load !!!
Watch it sink. It may take a while but sink it will. We can only hope there will be enough patriots left to revive it.
I have always loved reading and viewing Victor Davis Hanson, but hoping for “reason and logic” in this most unhappy situation? Not holding my breath.
Excuse me-but, I’ve been wondering all theses many months-how come Barack Obama’s name hasn’t
been mentioned in all this swamp mess? Who was president during all this? Look at today. Obama buys
mansion in the Vine Yard-even tho he said it would soon be under water. Then he builds a mansion in Hawaii.
Remember 15 or so many years ago he was a rookie senator and before that some obscure job in Chicago.
Just saying sounds fishy to me.
I still think hes the real “big man”
Hang him ! He’s a traitor.
Correct and good thinking. Some have concluded that he indeed is behind most of what is going on since Trump took office. We remember Obama’s remarks about buying his house close to the WH (in order to coordinate his efforts). Valerie Jarrett, the Chicago communist lives in that house too. The whole Chicago crowd now works in the Biden WH. It is no wonder Obama still pulls the strings. Actually, they are so widespread it is questionable whether we can retake the gov, seriously.
Yet, this bunch of lying, scheming clowns that calls itself a “democracy” is pulling every rabbit out of its hat to make damn sure that Trump never runs again – and the media is buying this putrid BS hook, line and sinker.
Dark days ahead, pray for America and your children who will inherit the foulness
of the Biden treason.
It sounds like the Bidens will get away with it. But perhaps they will disappear from the public eye. Maybe a Republican will win, and perhaps the Biden fortune will dry up when his ability to attract bribe money disappears. We hope
Are you talking about Biden or Hillary Clinton?
Good article and as the others have pointed out – with the Democrat fraud machine the USA is a one party nation like other dictatorships complete with state media to cover, lie, and prop up the regime.
We are in the very best of hands.
auto tune the news…
Biden needs a a 2nd Term In Prison with Both the Clintons Obama Soros Bragg Pelosi and all the rest involved in this Witch Hunt and lets kick the UN out move the whole rotten thing to Moscow and turn the UN Facility into a Homeless Shelter. Why should American Citizens be forced to live on the Streets while t hey live in their Privalged lives
Yes as we’ve been saying for years, they all belong in Guantanamo, and the UN needs to get the hell out of our country.
the j 6 are in the slammer for a minor ruckus , BLM ,Antifa are still on the streets , none went to jail . none of the left and their enablers , DOJ , FBI , CIA , Obama , Hillary , Comey , Podesta , Clapper , the list is endless and none of them will be held to account . it seems that most americans are absolutely oblivious at the level of corruption and graft in their political system . after you have read ” the ball of collusion ” by andrew c. mc carthy you may start to believe how bad it is but im not going to hold my breath . there are numerous books available by reputable authors to inform even the most sceptical of how feckless dolt joe was fraudulently ensconced in the crackhouse , but considering those who have TDS which is terminal the truth wont make any difference .
I see that too Kasandra. There are either very stupid voters or should I call them low information voters in this country today to believe a lie like that. I wonder how everyone that voted this old corrupt fart into office feels as surely they feel the pain too of these runaway high prices on groceries and gas along with everything else. How do they find anyone who supports this doddering old crook?
These are the same people who believe kids can be born into the wrong body, men can become women and sex with minors should be legal. They also think the world is on fire, the entire industrialized world can run on electricity generated by wind and solar and that we should own nothing and eat bugs. They are legion and it’s quite easy to find them. Search for a few “man on the street” interviews, especially on college campuses, and you’ll get your answer.
What a total disgrace, along with the media that give him a pass on every corrupt move.
