[FoxNews] Biden family worried Hunter’s relationship with Beau’s widow, escorts would spoil Joe Biden’s presidency run.
While Joe Biden was wrapping up his final year as Vice President, his son Hunter Biden was cooking crack and shooting porn ahead of the family’s most lucrative deal.
In part three of the Fox Nation special answering "Who is Hunter Biden?," Judge Jeanine Pirro examined how Hunter’s alleged sex and drug addictions and messy romantic relationships caused a PR storm for the Biden family ahead of a multimillion-dollar Chinese dealing and Joe’s eventual run for president.
"The question for Hunter Biden, who relied on leveraging his father's positions, was how would he fund his family obligations, high-flying lifestyle, and relentless addiction?" Pirro posed in the third episode.
"He spent extravagantly on strip clubs, adult video sites and prostitutes," she continued. "Like a low-rent porn star, he frequently filmed his wild sex life and uploaded the footage to his Pornhub account."
In October 2016, Hunter resolved to fly to Arizona for rehab. But after missing four flights, he decided to drive — though he almost didn’t live to tell about it.
"I nodded off behind the wheel," Hunter wrote in his memoir. "Waking up an instant later, I found myself in mid-air, the car having jumped a soft curve on the passing lane and soaring at 80 miles an hour into a cloudless blue sky, heading into the gulch that divided I-10."
Rattled by the event, Hunter summoned his brother Beau’s widow, Hallie, for comfort. He tried keeping their intimate relationship out of the tabloids, but the New York Post ran the story about the "Biden Family Affair." Their romance reportedly consisted of taking drugs, filming themselves having sex, and posting the videos to Hunter’s online porn account.
"Hunter would film their sex sessions and upload them to amateur porn sites, such as Pornhub, and give them titles such as ‘Lonely Widow,’" Fox News contributor and New York Post columnist Miranda Devine said in the episode. "There was a lot of love and, I guess, passion, and lust there, as well, that they talked about - but it really was disastrous for everybody involved."
In time, the relationship grew ugly – as the episode explores, Hallie insisted on therapy, and Hunter wrote that she told him Beau didn't think highly of him and laughed behind his back. And while his private life was running wild, Hunter’s bank account was running low.
According to contents on Hunter’s infamous laptop, he and his father were developing an ownership stake in a Chinese entity called CEFC. Under the deal, Hunter would get $850,000, but that was not enough. Eventually, for introductions alone, the Chinese would pay him $10 million per year for a minimum of three years and a three-carat diamond ring to boot.
But when the FBI charged a senior official at CEFC for bribery in late 2017, Hunter’s payday vanished, and his personal life would get further complicated.
The episode reveals that Hunter, while living with Hallie, started a sexual relationship with her sister and also became involved with a stripper named "Dallas," with whom he fathered a child in August 2018.
During a bender at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, Hunter learned how to cook crack himself and topped his $65,000 credit limit, apparently paying for an escort with his father’s card.
"Hunter is this barely functional human who's got this roaring crack addiction and roaring sex addiction," Judge Jeanine said. "It's just a very bizarre scenario, considering that you have to juxtapose that against the really high-level dangerous business that he was involved in."

...Sadly, it's only a 'media nightmare' if the media is looking into it and following it.
Which, it ain't.

I can see it now in the BB.
Nov. 2024 (BB/AP) Hunter Biden and Former Congresswomen AOC announce they will do a Showtime NC-17 movie together. Daddy Joe to have a non-speaking role as the neighborhood babysitter. Former Congresswoman Pelosi's role will be the Mgr./owner of the Local high end liquor store.☺
"So what’s the real reason? I have my suspicions. Namely, I suspect that when you are dealing with someone in steep mental decline, not having hundreds of people clapping and groaning can only make things easier. Given Joe Biden’s penchant for melting down while speaking publicly, whatever help Pelosi can give him will surely be well-received.
"Yet, even if we assume this is just about COVID-19, what kind of message does it send to the world that the President of the United States is so weak and feeble that he can’t be in a massive room with more than 25 people?
"Does anyone think Xi Jinping or Vladimir Putin are looking at this spectacle of absurdity and thinking anything other than they can take advantage of the situation?"
[FoxNews] Vice President Kamala Harris continues to lose staff with the departure of yet another high-ranking member of her team.
Kate Childs Graham, Harris' chief speechwriter, is leaving the vice president's office at the end of the month, sources told Fox News.
A White House official told Fox News, "Kate is leaving the office, but not the family. The vice president is grateful for her service to the administration."
Harris’ communications director Ashley Etienne resigned in November to "pursue other opportunities." That came after reports of exasperation between Harris’ office and Biden’s amid lagging approval ratings for Harris.
Shortly after Etienne’s departure, Symone Sanders announced she would be departing at the end of the year. Harris’ office said Sanders, a senior adviser and her chief spokesperson, "will be missed."
In January, Vincent Evans, who served as the vice president's deputy director of public engagement and intergovernmental affairs for nearly a year, left to become the executive director of the Congressional Black Caucus.
In a press conference on the eve of the anniversary of his inauguration, President Biden said unambiguously that Harris would be his running mate for re-election in 2024.
"She is going to be my running mate – number one. And number two, I did put her in charge. I think she’s doing a good job," Biden said.
[FoxNews] President Biden, during an event at the New York Police Department on Thursday, said "the answer is not to defund the police," but instead, to provide the tools and funding for law enforcement officials to be "partners" and "protectors" in the community.
The president and Attorney General Merrick Garland met with New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul at the NYPD headquarters Thursday to discuss ways federal, state and local law enforcement officials can work together to quickly take shooters off the streets and combat gun violence.
"Every time you pin that shield on, walk out the door, you’re worried about getting a phone call – too many have gotten the phone call lately," Biden said. "Every day in this country, 316 people are shot, 106 killed, there have been six NYPD victims of gun violence so far just this year."
The president’s trip to New York City on Thursday after thousands of uniformed police officers from across the nation traveled to Manhattan to pay their respects to fallen NYPD Detectives Jason Rivera and Wilbert Mora, who were shot and killed while responding to a domestic violence call last month.
"The answer is not to abandon our streets. That’s not the answer," Biden continued. "The answer is to come together, police and communities building trust and making us all safer."
He added: "The answer is not to defund the police. It is to give you the tools, the training, the funding to be partners, to be protectors."
Biden doubled down on that point, noting that they are "not about defunding."
"We’re about funding and providing the additional services you need beyond someone with a gun strapped to their shoulder," Biden said. "We need more social workers, mental health workers. We need more people who, when you’re called on these scenes and someone is about to jump off a roof, it’s not just someone standing with a weapon – it is someone who also knows how to talk to people, talk them down."
Biden said that government officials "can't expect" police officers "to do every single solitary thing."
The Biden administration on Thursday morning rolled out a strategy to stop the flow of guns, bolster law enforcement and increase funding for community policing, which Biden elaborated on during remarks at the NYPD HQ.
Senior administration officials said the strategy builds on steps the president announced in June 2021, which were intended to stem the flow of firearms used to commit violence; support local law enforcement with federal tools and resources to address violent crime; invest in evidence-based community violence interventions, expanded summer programming, employment opportunities and other services and support for teenagers and young adults; and provide help for formerly incarcerated individuals to "successfully reenter their communities."

As part of the strategy, the Justice Department announced a new directive to every U.S. attorney’s office nationwide to "increase resources dedicated to district-specific violent crime strategies."
A senior administration official said the Justice Department will work with state and local law enforcement to address the "most significant drivers of violence in each district," including to "get repeat gun violence offenders off our streets."
The Justice Department is also expected to "crack down on the "Iron Pipeline," a reference to the illegal flow of guns sold in the south and transported up the East Coast and found at crime scenes in cities from Baltimore to New York City.
The DOJ will also launch a "National Ghost Gun Enforcement Initiative," which officials say will "train a national cadre of prosecutors and disseminate investigation and prosecution tools to help bring cases against those who use ghost guns to commit crimes."
The Biden administration last year first took aim at "ghost guns" and modified firearms, which are homemade firearms without serial numbers that make it difficult for law enforcement to determine where, by whom, or when they were manufactured and to whom they were sold.
"The president is committed to serving as a strong partner for communities on the front lines of the fight against crime," the White House said, noting that the American Rescue Plan provides "historic levels of funding" for cities and states so that they can "put more cops on the beat and invest in community-based violence prevention and intervention programs."
Meanwhile, on Thursday, Biden also called on Congress to reach a bipartisan agreement on the FY22 appropriations budget, which includes half a billion dollars in new funding for "proven strategies" officials say they "know will reduce gun crime."
The proposal includes a $300 million increase to expand accountable community policing through the COPS Hiring Program and $200 million for evidence-based community violence interventions.
The raid occurred at the Royal Oak, Michigan, house owned for the past several years by Vance Callender, HSI special agent in charge at the agency’s Detroit office.
Callender was appointed the top HSI agent in Michigan and Ohio in January 2020.
The neighbor who witnessed the raid said there were “about 15 plainclothes officers” who conducted the operation, and that they were not wearing any identifiable logo that would reveal their affiliation.
[Fox News] A recently published email from U.S. State Department officials in Kyiv said Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine "undercut" American efforts to fight corruption within the country.
The email, obtained by Just the News, dates from Nov. 22, 2016, when former U.S. embassy official George Kent raised concern over Hunter Biden’s Ukraine dealings. Kent remarked on the "saga" surrounding a case again former Ukrainian natural resources minister and Burisma Holdings founder Mykola Zlochevsky. Joe Biden was still vice president at the time Kent sent the email, but Donald Trump had won the presidential election.
Kent later appeared before the House Intelligence Committee to testify during the impeachment inquiry against former President Donald Trump, during which he noted he had raised his concerns about the association between Hunter Biden and Burisma.
Kent said in his email that the "real issue" was that someone in Washington needed to engage then-Vice President Biden and say his son’s presence on the board "undercut the anti-corruption message the VP and we were advancing in Ukraine."
Kent states that he understood Sally Painter to be working on due diligence on the issue to make the case to Hunter, but that he never heard back from her. Painter serves as the Chief Operating Officer of Washington, D.C. consultancy firm Blue Star Strategy.
The recipients of the email included Jorgan K. Andrews, then-Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, and then-U.S. Ambassador to Kyiv Marie Yovanovitch, who classified the email.

Lord what a shitshow... so one of our diplomats who tried to nail OrangeMan for corruption actually knew that Biden was running a crime ring with his depraved idiot son.
And pray tell, why does the task of calling out this whore have to fall to a "someone in Washington" to "engage then-Vice President Biden"?
Kent states that he understood Sally Painter to be working on due diligence on the issue to make the case to Hunter, but that he never heard back from her. Painter serves as the Chief Operating Officer of Washington, D.C. consultancy firm Blue Star Strategy.
Who the fvck is "Sally Painter"? A "consultant," eh? Oh wait: she's that little Clintonite squirrel who made a whore's living selling her NATO membership lobbying efforts to tiny ex-Warsaw Pact country oligarchs.
A shitty little DC lobbyist.
That's who our Ambassador turns to when he needs to speak truth to his bosses? Our Ambassador can't talk to Obama?
Total shitshow. But wait -- like all slapstick comedies, the lads keep comin'... Ambassador Doormat engages not just a no-name little lobbyist but also -- get this -- the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs.
Engaging his department's top Narc. To investigate the VP's and now President's crack addict son.
These are the ludicrous shitheads who are driving this nation's insane Ukraine policy. For SHAME.

Blue Star Strategy sells high level access to Hillary Clinton and would have formed the core of the 2017 Hillary Clinton presidential staff. That Sally Painter went from State Dept to COO of Blue Star Strategy tells you everything you need to know.
Russia, already Beijing's No. 3 gas supplier, has been strengthening ties with China, the world's biggest energy consumer, reducing its dependence on its traditional European energy customers.

"Due diligence"?
That's investment banker speak for basic financial analysis for a deal. Does the article's author mean s.t. like an actual investigation of criminal acts? Why would Hillary's / Eastern European Bandits' lobbyist be asked to do that?
to make the case to Hunter, but that he never heard back from her.
Why "to Hunter"? WTF?
You mean she was supposed to smoke crack with him and review his deals?
What's the little cvnt supposed to say -- "Sir, if you look carefully at the line items in Slide #7, you'll see that these payments might better have been wired securely from Burisma's Cyprus accounts to a Liechtenstein-based entity..."?

Putin hails $117.5 bln of China deals as Russia squares off with West Russia is Europe's biggest provider of natural gas, and Western countries are worried that already strained supplies could be interrupted in the event of a conflict. However, the new deal with Beijing would not let Moscow divert gas otherwise bound for Europe, as it involves gas from the Pacific island of Sakhalin, not connected to Russia's European pipeline network.
Nothing to do w/ Ukraine tensions. Nor does the deal affect Europe.
[Breitbart] Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer appeared on The Dan Bongino Show where he discussed how the Biden family corruption goes beyond mere crony capitalism and may actually be a "Chinese intelligence operation."
Discussing his New York Times #1 best-selling book, Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, Schweizer profiled how the Biden-China connection puts the future of American national security at risk.
"What we found is that in every single deal they got, there was a businessman who made it happen, who, as the kids would say, ’made it rain,'" Schweizer said. "Every single one of those businessmen has links to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence, meaning the vice-minister for state security, the family of the former minister of state security."
"The story of the Bidens and their Chinese deals is no longer just a story of corruption and cronyism, it is a story of a Chinese intelligence operation, and we have got to get to the bottom of if the Bidens are compromised and how badly are they compromised," Schweizer continued.
[Epoch Times] What a difference two years—and $5.7 trillion in federal money—makes in fostering dramatic reversals of fortune for state and local budget managers.
In spring 2020, governments were confronted with cascading costs in managing the public health response to the COVID-19 outbreak, spiking unemployment, and steep revenue declines resulting from business disruption and restrictions.
Two years later, lawmakers are awash in federal funding after Congress approved five COVID-19 assistance packages, pumping at least $5.7 trillion into the economy, including $900 billion to state and local governments.
The Washington-based Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that as much as $800 billion of that $5.7 trillion remains uncommitted across a spectrum of federal, state, local, and public-private agencies, and in statehouses, county seats, and city halls.
The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that government revenues in the third quarter of 2021 were 23 percent above pre-pandemic levels "thanks to massive federal transfer payments from COVID relief legislation."
Other factors that boosted government revenues cited in a Jan. 28 Associated Press analysis include inflation ignited by stimulus-check spending that leavened sales tax collections, a spike in capital gains tax revenues generated by a strong stock market, federal padding of state unemployment relief, and a pandemic-induced increase in home-based employment.

Nah, governments are never 'flushed' with cash. They always spend more than they can get their hands on.
#3
Yes. And never forget what they do with a one-time influx of cash: hire more people, creating permanent wage and benefit expenses. Which must continue to be paid when the windfall is blown away.

For housing, food, guaranteed income, job training and business acquisition for illegals.
[Breitbart] Leftist Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has followed in his father Pierre’s footsteps both in assuming the high office and using it to further the interests of the Chinese Communist Party, Peter Schweizer writes in his bestseller Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win.
The book, which documents the cozy financial and political relations between the Chinese government and some of the most powerful people in the West, revealed decades of both ideological and financial ties between Beijing and the Trudeaus, beginning with the elder Trudeau visiting China in 1960 and meeting Mao Zedong, among other communist leaders.
Rather than being appalled by the Great Leap Forward, which was ongoing at the time, Trudeau and travel pal Jacques Hébert left the country enamored by communism enough to write a propaganda book titled Two Innocents in Red China.
The Great Leap Forward killed as many as 45 million people and has been described by the Washington Post as “the biggest mass murder in the history of the world.” Yet it remained conspicuously absent in the narrative of Two Innocents. The book describes Mao as a “superb strategist” and proclaims, “it is these red-scarfed kids who in twenty years will be the New Men of a country which at that time will have a billion inhabitants.”
In an interesting coincidence, the elder Trudeau’s ideological fealty to communism, Red-Handed details, was also significantly profitable. Trudeau had benefitted from the support of businessman Paul Desmarais, the head of the company called the Power Corporation that specialized in building business ties to China.
“In 1978, the Power Corporation formed the Canada-China Business Council with Prime Minister Trudeau’s support,” Schweizer writes, noting that the Canada-China Business Council was a key tool for Beijing to foster ties to powerful Canadian politicians to the benefit of the Communist Party.
“Trudeau and Desmarais guided Canada’s relationship with Beijing, with Trudeau as prime minister pushing closer relations with the regime while Desmarais cashed in on significant deals with Beijing’s elite,” Schweizer writes. “When Trudeau retired from politics, he went to work at Power Corporation, further nurturing those deals and becoming wealthy in the process.”
A classified 2016 state department email written by former US diplomat George Kent was published this week
In the email, Kent warned that Hunter Biden’s Ukraine dealings 'undercut the anti-corruption message the VP and we were advancing' in the country
The email was kept from public view for five years
It was obtained by Just the News and published this week
The email was published one day after the New York Times sued the state department for allegedly withholding emails involving Hunter Biden that were sent or received by officials at the US Embassy in Romania
Republicans are threatening to make Hunter Biden testify before Congress if they take back the House of Representatives in the midterm elections
His business in Ukraine played a central role in former President Donald Trump's first impeachment in 2019
Hunter Biden has also created an ethics headache for the Biden White House when he joined the art world last year, selling paintings for $500,000
Remarkably, [Judge] Abram's husband was a federal prosecutor in Robert Mueller's Russia investigation and part of the team that seized passports and restricted travel for high-profile defendants like Paul Manafort and his business partner Rick Gates.
[Hunter Biden's convicted business partner Devon] Archer did not face the same restrictions. As he awaited trial since summer 2016 and since his conviction in summer 2018, Archer has been allowed to travel freely across the globe.
Archer's travel log, enumerated in the court documents, reads like the travels of an American secretary of state:Russia, Mexico, China, Spain, Italy, the former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan and Ukraine, the money laundering capital of Latvia, Hong Kong, London, Singapore and the French Antilles, to name a few.
Most remarkably, Judge Abrams granted the travel permission over the objections of federal prosecutors who protested allowing a convicted felon who fleeced an Indian tribe to globetrot for five years as he awaited trial and then sentencing.
[Breitbart] The Democrats’ bill to help the U.S. compete against China’s fast-growing manufacturing and technology sectors actually allows China to compete against America, GOP leader Kevin McCarthy said Wednesday.
McCarthy used his floor speech during the debate to spotlight visa provisions in the bill that would encourage U.S. companies and universities to hire and train Chinese graduates instead of American graduates:
They call it the American Competes Act. But make no mistake. It’s a bill that concedes to China. The American Concedes Act is Democrats desperate answer to their string of self-created crisis. While it contains some provisions supported by Republicans. Speaker Pelosi is holding these good ideas hostage by using this 3,000 page bill as a vehicle for the party’s far left agenda. Almost every page of Democrats concede Act has a provision that helps China but hurts America.
Now here are just a few excerpts. On page 1,689, it provides a new unlimited green card program for the Chinese Communist Party to exploit.
The green card language was touted by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Ca), whose district includes part of Silicon Vallery.
Advocates say it allows the "best and brightest" foreign graduates to get green cards, jobs, and then citizenship if they work to get a science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) PhD. in American or foreign universities. But the fine print of the bill shows it would give green cards to a wide variety of ordinary foreign graduates, including chemists, doctors, engineers, statisticians, accountants, tax experts, software developers, and computer security experts.
The bill’s language sets no limits on the number of foreign migrants who can get green cards and then U.S. jobs and careers, nor does it set any minimum standards for the skills of those migrants.
[Breitbart via Rantingly] The newest reparations-style plan from President Joe Biden ditches cash payouts to border crossers subjected to former President Trump’s "Zero Tolerance Policy" and, instead, provides them with amnesty to permanently resettle in the United States.
Last year, Biden’s Departments of Justice (DOJ), Homeland Security (DHS), and Health and Human Services (HHS) were in settlement talks with border crossers represented by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), who claim they have suffered trauma as a result of the Trump-era policy.
For months, reports circulated that Biden was considering giving payouts of $450,000 to every border crosser involved in the case — costing about $1 billion in American taxpayer money and more than was given to the American victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
As Breitbart News reported in December 2021, Biden dropped the payout plan following intense backlash from the American public. Some polls showed that 63 percent of Americans, including 64 percent of swing voters, were opposed to the plan.
Now, Biden and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas are urging Congress to authorize a new payoff plan: Amnesty for every border crosser subjected to Trump’s Zero Tolerance Policy. Mayorkas told NBC News:
We are advocating to Congress that they provide these individuals with legal status — that requires a statutory change. The White House is 100 percent supportive of it, as am I, and we continue to advocate vigorously for it.
Amnesty for the border crossers would be far more lucrative than the previously-circulated $450,000 payouts as it would allow them to secure green cards, and eventually, naturalized American citizenship that they could then use to bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the U.S. through the process known as "chain migration."

Gov. Brylcreem in CA is now pushing reparations.
For slavery. In CALIFORNIA.
Where 99% of the extant population has zero connection to antebellum America and 99.9999% of the extant population has zero connection -- slave, slaveowner or trader or otherwise -- to antebellum American slavery.

[FoxNews] South Dakota Republicans blocked a pro-life proposal from Gov. Kristi Noem that would ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected and was modeled after Texas’ law that allows private citizens to sue.
Republican lawmakers in the state said the bill could "jeopardize" their chances of ultimately getting abortions outlawed in the conservative state.
Pro-life Republican House Speaker Spencer Gosch said the bill language proposed by the governor could interfere with a Planned Parenthood legal battle connected to a decade-old law forcing women to go to crisis pregnancy centers before getting an abortion. The law was halted years ago and Noem has vowed to take it to the U.S. Supreme Court.
