Hunter, Meet Your New Mama
[FoxNews] A federal judge in Delaware on Wednesday ordered Hunter Biden to "actively seek employment," abstain from drugs or alcohol, submit to random drug testing and not possess a firearm as conditions for staying out of jail.
The conditions were laid out by U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika as part of the ongoing investigation in Delaware centering around the first son.

He has some experience in grief counseling on his resume.

I'm waiting for the Random Drug Testing at his CA residence. The Conservative Tree House this morning posted a copy of the Affidavit and revealed Attachment A of the now failed Plea Agreement which was submitted as a Statement of Factsby his own lawyers. It reveals an addiction so deep that he was using crack every 15 minutes. It tells of repeated relapses through 2019 but stops at that point without commenting further. Does anyone honestly think he has achieved sobriety currently?

I wonder how many times he's been resuscitated.

Hunter is not even on the same planet as Sobriety. Hell, he's not even aspiring to be a dry drunk. Me thinks the entire Biden cartel will have to crash and burn in spectacular fashion for him to have a chance at recovery.

Sideshow Bob at the White House says Bidet will not pardon Hunter. Gee, I'm so sure she's telling the truth...

Crack addiction is incredibly difficult to recover from. Much more addictive than just coke because of the chemistry involved.
If he was up to using every 15 minutes, I'm actually surprised he's still alive.
So far, the only substance abuse programs he's gone through have been short-term 'spin dry' ones. Nothing like a year to 18 month inpatient center. That said, he's probably still addicted (which would explain his sidling off for a quick snort on the White House balcony a few weeks ago).

He would have to want to get clean. Where's his incentive with The Big Guy running interference for him?

Where's his incentive with The Big Guy running interference for him?
[CBSNEWS] After briefly pausing its war on inflation last month, the Federal Reserve is resuming the battle by hiking its benchmark interest rate to the highest level in 22 years.
The central bank concluded a two-day policy meeting on Wednesday by announcing that it is raising the federal funds rate by a quarter of a percentage point, lifting the Fed's target rate to between 5.25% and 5.5%.
The Fed left the door open to further rate hikes this year, with Chair Jerome Powell telling news hounds in a news conference that additional tightening is possible unless inflation continues to cool rapidly.
"What our eyes are telling us is policy has not been restrictive enough for long enough to have its full desired effects. So we intend to keep policy restrictive until we're confident that inflation is coming down sustainably to our 2% target, and we're prepared to further tighten if that is appropriate," he said. "The process still probably has a long way to go."
The Fed's current rate-hiking cycle, its most aggressive push to tighten monetary policy since the 1980s, has proved effective in dousing the hottest bout of inflation in four decades by raising borrowing costs for consumers and businesses.
Since the central bank began tightening in March 2022, mortgage rates have more than doubled while the costs of car loans and credit cards have surged. The hikes have also squeezed technology companies and banks that were reliant on low interest rates, putting some out of business and forcing others to cut tens of thousands of workers.
Inflation around the U.S. is now just half its level from a year ago, with prices rising at a roughly 3% annual rate — lower than the pace of workers' pay increases. Still, the Fed has expressed concern that core inflation, which leaves out food and fuel prices, remains well above the bank's 2% target. Core inflation was at 4.8% last month.

OBAMA ADMIN 2.
Interest rates go up.
Living Prices go up.
But incomes levels stay the same and buying power drops.
House prices climb 21+% and local/state gov. reassess your property value and charges more for required sevices. So you lose another $1000 or so paying higher taxes, while already having 15 to 21+% less to spend.
One way or another we all are paying for The DC SWAMP spending us in to $32+T debt. All while they feast at our expense.

The actual "on the ground" annual inflation rate has to be double digits. I can't for the life of me figure out why this isn't common knowledge. EVERYTHING is way, way, more expensive than it was 24 months ago.
[The Federalist] When the New York Post broke the news that documents recovered from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop implicated Joe Biden in a pay-to-play scandal, the corporate media — to the extent they didn’t frame the story as Russian disinformation — pretended the reporting solely concerned Hunter Biden’s personal life.
The scandal, however, was never about Hunter’s sordid sex life and history of drug abuse. Rather, it concerned Joe Biden’s abuse of power as vice president for financial gain. But now it reaches much further — including 10 distinct scandals.

"According to detailed information, Joe and Jill Biden declared a total of $4,122,376 in pretax income on their federal tax returns for tax years 2001 through 2016 -- this works out to an average of $257,648 annually during the sixteen-year period when he finished his career as senator and, later, became vice president. Leaving aside, for the moment, fair questions concerning how Biden managed to sustain living costs for his large family from his home in Wilmington and also save for retirement, his years with educator Jill Biden do not appear to show proven ability to derive investment income, or garner outsized compensation. "
"Joe and Jill Biden saw their pretax income climb from $338,464 in 2016 to a whopping $9,578,639 in 2017 -- an amount that was more than 28 times Biden pretax income for the prior year and more than twice, in just one year, total Biden pretax income for a 16 year period from 2001 through 2016."
" Buried back on page 23 of a 103-page tax filing for 2017, we learn that two subchapter S corporations, each formed in 2017, somehow managed to send more than $10 million dollars together in their first partial years of operation, to the Bidens."

this works out to an average of $257,648 annually during the sixteen-year period when he finished his career as senator and, later, became vice president.
Between 2000 and 2007, Senator salary averaged ~$157,200/yr. VP salary for 8 years @ $255,800/yr
Average reported income for just Joe over that time therefor would be about $210,000/yr.
So Dr. Jill must have brought in the other $47-48K, or they had some decent investment income.
The big spike in 2017 was likely deferred comp, you know from stuff that one can't have as income while a government employee.

That is a good estimate based on reported income. Much of what the Bidens do is off the books so I might double both his Senate and VP wages. The rent payment that Hunter makes to Joe is ridiculous. It would probably take some forensic accountants some time to sort it all out. I suspect that there would be a lot of laughing from their war room concerning some of Hunter’s expensing of donkeys, midgets and Jello,

The Dems stole the Oval Office, and they are going to become ruthless to keeping it.
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.
