[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] They’d been married for 22 years when Kathleen Buhle made the appalling discovery in 2015 that her husband, the father of her three daughters, was hopelessly addicted to drink, drugs and sex.
‘I found hundreds [of credit card charges] at liquor stores and strip clubs,’ she writes. ‘The whole time, he told me he was healthy and sober — and I was crazy. I continually told him that I was the one person actually trying to get him sober. It became my own kind of addiction.’
While this sort of tale of sordid excess certainly has a familiar ring to it, Kathleen wasn’t married to yet another troubled Hollywood star but to Hunter Biden, the son of the U.S. President.
Kathleen would later learn that Hunter — whom she’d met when they were serving together in their 20s in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps — frequently hired prostitutes, obsessively trawled through internet porn and had such a serious drug problem that she found a crack cocaine pipe in their ashtray.
Worst of all, he had an affair with his own brother’s widow — a shocking development even for someone as depraved as Hunter, 52, and a discovery that Kathleen reveals was only made after their children saw incriminating text messages on his phone.
Kathleen, 53, who finally divorced Hunter in 2017, has broken her silence about their sordid marriage in a revealing new autobiography, If We Break: A Memoir Of Marriage, Addiction, And Healing is due to be published next week — but early extracts have already left White House officials nervous. From what they’ve read, it is clear the Biden family will not be spared any blushes.
While the Biden camp has in the past been able to dismiss any focus on Hunter as political trouble-stirring — with the New York Times and Washington Post even claiming it was Kremlin disinformation — it will be much harder to change the subject when the criticism comes from his long-suffering ex-wife, a close friend of Michelle Obama.
And for the President, the timing really couldn’t be worse. Amid continuing questions over his mental alertness, he’s floundering badly in the polls, with the expectation that the forthcoming November midterm elections will hammer the Democrats.
And then there’s the potentially awkward — and still unanswered — questions over emails retrieved from a damaged computer of Hunter’s which he abandoned in a repair shop in April 2019 and which appear to contradict Joe’s repeated insistence that his son never discussed his shady business affairs with him.

They the apple does not fall far from the tree.
The only difference between Joe & Hunter.
Joe likes them younger.
I have to wonder how many $$Millions she got for the book, to compensate for any NDA and/or Prenuptial agreement ?

Joe likes them younger.
And neither can remember last night.
I have firm money down on "shared experience with cousin", so I wonder if these things are about quenching the curiosity of "how young does Hunter like them?"
[ET] A former U.S. congressman has pleaded guilty to several election fraud charges, including bribery and falsification of voting records.
Former Rep. Michael Myers (D-Pa.), 79, admitted to bribing an election judge in Philadelphia, Domenick Demuro, to illegally add votes for certain candidates, including candidates for federal and state offices.
Myers and Demuro, both Democrats, supported fellow Democrat candidates. Myers would receive payments from the candidates, by cash or check, and send a portion of the funds to Demuro. And 10% for the Big Guy?
The judge of elections for the 39th Ward, 36th Division in South Philadelphia would then add fraudulent votes for Myers’s clients.
"At Myers’s direction, Demuro would add these fraudulent votes to the totals during Election Day, and then would later falsely certify that the voting machine results were accurate," the Department of Justice said in a statement. I'm supposed to believe this is the only time and place this has happened?
The fraud took place during elections starting in 2014 and going through 2018, authorities said.
Myers also admitted to conspiring to commit fraud with Marie Beren, a judge of elections for the 39th Ward, 2nd Division in Philadelphia. Myers acknowledged directing Beren to add votes to candidates he supported, including candidates for judicial office who had hired Myers.
Demuro pleaded guilty in 2020 to conspiring to deprive people of civil rights and using interstate facilities in aid of bribery. Demuro was supposed to be sentenced on June 30, 2020, but sentencing has repeatedly been postponed. It is currently scheduled to take place on June 14. Arranging for the pardon.
Beren, another Democrat, pleaded guilty in 2021. The charges to which she pleaded guilty weren’t clear because the details are sealed. Beren was set to be sentenced on Feb. 15 but the hearing was postponed until Aug. 16. Maybe she's gonna hang herself.

I personally prefer not to post so-called 'pay sites' or sites that require registration. I get butt loads if SPAM already. Subject lines and lead-in snippets however, do permit the reader to quickly access other "free' sites without these annoyances.

Election fraud never happens.
Except if it does, it's rare.
And when it does rarely happen,
it does not affect the outcome of the election.
Except when it rarely does.
Get the picture?

I have a subscription to the Epoch Times, so I checked out the article.
Bobby gave us the key information, sparing us the pontificating. An internet search of “Michael Myers (D-Pa.), 79, admitted to bribing an election judge” reveals lots of other articles on the subject, for those interested in learning more.
And then there are Bobby’s in-lines, always a pleasure.
I share the preference for links that are not behind a paywall or registration, but I have no problem with Bobby’s work.

Regarding what we were teased with click on a Pay Site.
Shouldn't the congressman be required to divulge a list of Civil Rights crimes and those elected officials be required to face a Special Election for their stolen position?

I get the annoyance with the paywall thing, but jumping all over the person who links to such a site is a little off-base. There are ways around paywalls, and sometimes, depending on how you got to a site, you may not get the "gimme moneh gate-keeper." You may not even realize you just somehow got a free ride,
It happens.

Bobby, go here. Enter the link address of the site behind a paywall. Press 'Remove Paywall' button and 98% of the time it will take you to the page, unfettered by the usual lock-down.
Copy the address at the top (starting with 'https://12ft.io/proxy....') and re-post if you desire.

Former Pennsylvania representative pleads guilty to election fraud charges
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
