You can see it now: The media is doing their best to bore people with stories of how the current President of the United States got rich and how his son ripped off not only foreign governments and companies, but we the taxpayers too. It’s how the “news” business works today – cover intently what makes your side look better or the other side look worse, or ignore it completely. It really is something to behold.
Republicans in the House have uncovered what can be described, if you’re being most generous to Democrats, a pattern of suspicious financial transactions that, again at a minimum, imply a very close tie between Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Again, this is being very generous to the way Democrats spin the stories of the past few weeks, short of simply declaring them to be heartless attacks against a father who’s never done anything but love his kids.
And now they’re moving on. Those stories, those coincidences are fading down the memory hole as all focus returns to Donald Trump. Trump gives them plenty of ammo, tweeting out stupid and counter-productive things regularly – if he could get out of his own way he’d be in a much better position for the nomination and the general election.
As the focus returns to Trump, where he seems to want it no matter how whether it’s good or bad, the stories of Biden’s corruption, to the extent they’re even talked about, are mentioned only as an attempted distraction from the troubles of the former President. Trump’s unwillingness to take a day off has buried the Biden corruption story, relegating it to a left-wing lament; something “Republicans are using to smear a man who just loves his kid” rather than the more direct evidence of bribery of an elected administration official we’ve ever had.
There has been no exploration of why it would be that the then Vice-President would call into business meetings of his son, who would then put him on speaker phone so there was no mistake who Hunter had unfettered access to. That strikes none with a press pass as odd.
Nor does Joe’s repeated declaration that he deliberately forbade his family from telling him anything about their businesses pique anyone’s in the media’s curiosity.
Many questions remain not only unanswered, but unasked, like how would Joe have known if Hunter had made any money from China if he’d never spoken with him about his businesses? How would Joe know if he’d never spoken to anyone in his family about their business interests if he’d expressly told them never to tell him what they do for a living? He couldn’t have.
Plausible deniability was the point, no matter how implausible it is to normal people.
Remember, Joe didn’t have to appease normal Americans with his lies, he just had to placate the press. That was easy, it turns out, because the Trump presidency caused such a level of mental instability in the media that any pretense of journalism when the way of the Dodo bird.
But when you add in the former President’s inability to get out of his own way by not taking the bait Democrats toss out for him, you end up watching the Biden story disappear. It was always going to be a tough fight to expose the corruption that made the Biden family rich, but Donald Trump whining about how Nancy Pelosi “will someday live in HELL!” because she said something about him being scared on MSNBC becomes THE story over everything else. No matter what Congressman James Comer uncovers, the story is buried in a sea of whining.
Is it fair? Of course not. And it’s not right either. It’s garbage. But your dislike of reality doesn’t have any impact on it being reality. This is politics, not beanbag. Democrats are going to look for anything at all to change the subject from the Biden Crime Family to literally anything else, and stories about Donald Trump are catnip for the leftist media.
It would be profoundly better if the former President could stop feeding the media’s addiction to him, especially when there’s a chance to expose Biden, at least for a day or two, but that doesn’t seem to be in the cards. So at least be aware of what’s happening and take it upon yourself to spread the stories conservative media uncover in the face of a relentless tsunami distractions. If no one in a position to, or with the job of reporting, is going to focus and educate the public, we have to.

The exposure of Biden should continue. Three committees are dedicated to investigations that must be done Congressionally because the federal law enforcement apparatus has been muzzled through corruption.
If the USofA is actually going to drown in a cesspool of Democrat Party Corruption, at least we can complete the documentation.
Hardball1alpha says
It’s touching how Joe loves his kickbacks so much, that he believed his entire family should feel such leg-tingling power grabs. But I guess that’s a “union thing” he has cultivated for decades.
Pyramid of The Prince.

Trump should continually hammer on reclaiming the constitutional republic, and America being self-sufficient again. That’s why Ramaswamy resonates.

We used to be a nation of laws, liberty, and fairness. Talk about power and privilege and how it corrupts a nation, especially when there is a double standard on upholding the law.
TRex says
to quote Steve Deace, “we are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of political will. Always have been and always will be.” We can pass all the laws we want but enforcement is where the corruption takes root. We’re watching it all over the news right now. There are several present and recent past stories that demonstrate who is willing to exercise their political will, who is willing to weaponize the govt against their political enemies and who is willing to throw the law out the window. The sad thing is the opposing political party always comes up with excuses for why they can’t exert their political will and that lies at the feet of the uninformed and apathetic voters who keep re-electing the same sheep to represent them.
Frank Gerace says
Mr. Hunter seems to be saying that Biden may be a liar and a cheat, but Trump brought the DOJ’s witch hunt against him on himself because he’s thin-skinned. Trump may be thin-skinned, but the witch hunt against him is Biden’s fault.
Claudia Henneberry says
Yes, it’s correct that President Trump cannot stop tweeting, etc., but the media CHOOSES NOT to cover anything that is true about the real corruption taking place all around us everyday. Even if Trump were to shut up, the vile media STILL wouldn’t cover the corruption, so I do not totally buy your argument. Also, ya’ll need an editor to clean-up some of your articles/pieces. This one has at least 2 grammatical errors. I am available to edit if you need someone!!!
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Once upon a time, America had freedom of speech.
The left has tweaked that to freedom of speech exists as long as it agrees with leftist values.
Sophomores not needed, thank you.

At times I love hearing Trump “say it like it is”, but there are times when he says things that don’t help, and other times when he shouldn’t say anything at all. Trump hasn’t spent all the years in the Swamp learning how to be as phony as the veterans in congress, learning how to respond to a question without actually answering or change subjects in the middle of a sentence without so much as a pause but that’s a big part of his popularity, he doesn’t see things thru crap colored glasses.
William Ward says
I am voting for Donald Trump, today and in the future there is no one that
can bring America back to the years he made us financially healthy and
strong as a Nation. Next time around he will clean the swamp as now he
knows who is who, and there are plenty of Republican (Democrats in hiding)
that are on the get rid of list. Unless the Demorats have new and unknown
steal plans for 2024 we should see a clear victory for President Trump.
Enough said, no, Donald Trump is really a good guy.
Cal from Canada says
I like Kat Timpf’s question on Biden being on the phone during Hunter’s business dinner. Which of the other diners called their dad during dinner?
Ugly Sid says
It was Father’s Day.
The other diners were bastards.
SPURWING PLOVER says
The M.S. Media is still trying to get us to ignore Bidens acts of Treason against America and the American People since the M.S. Media are mostly Democrat Voters and Supporters we know hat for sure

When people are accountable to God, and have honor, integrity, honesty, and lawfulness as attributes, the world thrives. Some of Those in power live by a code of greed, and obsession with more and more wealth that squeezes out everyone else who works hard and makes an honest living, its about themselves and how much they can acquire.
