Texas Installing a Floating Barrier to Illegal Immigration

(Headline USA) Texas began rolling out what is set to become a new floating barrier on the Rio Grande on Friday in the latest development of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s multi billion-dollar effort to secure the U.S. border with Mexico.

Abbot has also bussed illegals to blue states and allowed the National Guard to make arrests in his heroic effort to stop the waves of illegals invading America.

But even before the huge orange buoys were unloaded from the trailers that hauled them to the border city of Eagle Pass, there were concerns over this part of Abbott’s unprecedented effort to save America. Advocates for the safety of illegal immigrants voiced concerns about drowning risks.

Dozens of the massive spherical buoys were stacked on the beds of four tractor trailers in a grassy city park near the river on Friday morning.

Setting up the barriers could take up to two weeks, according to Lt. Chris Olivarez, a spokesperson for the Texas Department of Public Safety, which is overseeing the project.

Once installed, the above-river parts of the system and the webbing they’re connected with will cover 1,000 feet of the middle of the Rio Grande, with anchors in the riverbed.

Eagle Pass is part of a Border Patrol sector that has seen the second highest number of migrant crossings this fiscal year with about 270,000 encounters — though that is lower than it was at this time last year.

The flood of illegals increased in May after the Biden administration stopped implementing Title 42, a pandemic era public health policy that sent illegal immigrants  back to Mexico. New rules allowed people to seek asylum through a government application and set up appointments at the ports of entry, though the maximum allowed in per day is set at 1,450. The Texas governor’s policies target the many who, unwilling to wait to enter, cross through the river.

Earlier iterations of Abbott’s border mission have included installing miles of razor wire at popular crossing points on the river and creating state checkpoints beyond federal stops to inspect incoming commercial traffic.

“We always look to employ whatever strategies will be effective in securing the border,” Abbott said in a June 8 press conference to introduce the buoy strategy.

Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw addressed the danger that migrants may face when the buoys are deployed during the June press conference when Abbott spoke: “Anytime they get in that water, it’s a risk to the migrants. This is the deterrent from even coming in the water.”

MURDOCK: Bidens Do Crimes, but No Time

MURDOCK: Bidens Do Crimes, but No Time

(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) The family that skates together stays together.

Even Fox News addicts would be stunned by how many Bidens have T-boned into the law and waltzed away from the wreckage. The Biden family is an ongoing crime spree in which the word “consequences” might as well be in Swahili.

New York Post’s Jon Levine recently detailed how the Bidens get away with lawlessness over and over and over again.

● First Son Hunter Biden earned at least $8.3 million in foreign schemes, according to IRS whistleblowers, evidently in exchange for access to his father.

Echoing Watergate’s Saturday Night Massacre, the U.S. Department of Obstruction of Justice told the IRS on May 15 to instruct whistleblower Gary Shapley and his 12-member team to stop investigating Hunter. A concurrent DOJ probe already had devoured five years, as statutes of limitation repeatedly expired.

With Hunter no longer under IRS’s microscope, his lawyers and DOJ agreed that federal prosecutors would request two years of probation once Hunter pled guilty to misdemeanors, not felonies, for not paying $100,000 in taxes on $1.5 million in income in 2017 and ’18. This 6.7% effective tax rate is the Democrats’ new definition of “fair share.”

If tax-evading actor Wesley Snipes were named Wesley Biden, he would have savored such a wrist massage. Instead, he spent nearly three years in prison.

Hunter lied on a gun-purchase application, claiming to be drug-free. He soon illegally possessed a gun while drug-addicted.

Federal prosecutors want Hunter in a diversion program, not prison. Confirming America’s two-track justice system, rapper Kodak Black received a 46-month prison sentence for lying on a gun form.

● First Daughter Ashley Biden was busted for marijuana possession in 1999, while at Tulane University. New Orleans police confirm her arrest, but court documents show no conviction.

Ashley offended again, after a 2002 bottle-shattering fracas outside a Chicago bar. She allegedly tried to obstruct a cop and made “intimidating statements.” So what? Charges were dropped.

● First Brother Frank Biden was a passenger in an Aug. 14, 1999, drunken-driving crash near San Diego.

On Sept. 2, 2002, a court found Frank partially liable for fatally hitting single-father Michael Albano. Frank was told to pay Albano’s daughters $550,000 in damages. With interest, this had grown to $880,000. As the Daily Mail reports, Frank skipped court appearances and paid the Albanos nothing through at least 2020.

On Aug. 20, 2003, Frank was arrested for drunken driving in Fort Lauderdale. His license had been suspended four times. Penalty: Six months’ probation.

That Oct. 27, Frank got nabbed at a Pompano Beach, Florida, Blockbuster with two stolen DVD shoved in his pants. He missed his court hearing and apparently skirted prosecution.

On Nov. 21, 2004, Frank was arrested yet again for driving with a suspended license. Rather than jail, he got three months at the Watershed rehab facility.

● First Niece Caroline, was charged in September 2013 with punching an NYPD officer at her Tribeca apartment after an unpaid-rent dispute went violent. She underwent anger management, and everything vanished without prison time.

In 2017, Caroline charged $110,000 on a stolen credit card. She spent these funds at Manhattan’s elegant Bigelow Pharmacy. This fraud won her a felony conviction. However, she later re-pled to petty larceny, a lower crime, and avoided prison.

While driving sans license in August 2019, Caroline plowed into a tree in Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania. She “had difficulty focusing,” said arresting officer Jeffrey Seamans. Blood tests verified that Caroline was under the influence of several drugs, including carisoprodol (a prescription muscle relaxant) and lorazepam (a pharmaceutical anti-anxiety aide).

Fifteen months later, she was arraigned on Nov. 4, 2020—one day after the Biden–Trump general election. How convenient.

What did these three crimes cost Caroline? Probation!

Dr. Jill seems to be the only prominent Biden not suspected of, charged with, nor guilty of serious crimes. Like a Mafia matriarch, she smells like a rose, and she ain’t seen nuttin.’

Kamala and Her Cackles Caught in White House Cocaine Scandal

Kamala and Her Cackles Caught in White House Cocaine Scandal

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) President Joe Biden isn’t alone in the White House’s ongoing cocaine scandal, fueled by a drug-abusing first son and the administration’s shifty response to the illicit powder found in the West Wing.

Vice President Kamala Harris, already notorious for her verbal gaffes, raised fresh concerns that her word-salad gibberish and cackling spurts of manic laughter might be signs of drug use. Adding fuel to fire, White House officials are being accused of trying to shift blame onto Harris for cocaine found near the Oval Office.

In the scramble to explain how a bag of cocaine made its way into the West Wing, and who could have been the culprit, White House officials said that the stash was discovered in proximity to an entrance near the vice president’s parking spot.

While admitting Thursday that the cocaine was found in an area that was “much more secure” than previously claimed, MSNBC reported multiple officials confirming it was near “the West Executive entrance” close to the Situation Room.

“It is also next to West Executive Drive. That’s where, for example, the vice president’s vehicle is parked,” MSNBC reported, in a twist to the cocaine caper that opened it to new, nefarious dimensions.

“Is WH now claiming the cocaine found at WH belongs to Kamala Harris?” tweeted The Post Millennial, while conservative pundit Erick Erickson offered his take. “Theory: it was Hunter Biden‘s cocaine, but he made sure to get Kamala Harris’ fingerprints on the bag.”

“The White House isn’t saying the cocaine belonged to Kamala Harris, but they are saying it was found near her car,” cracked Kevin Dalton. “Are we watching them set up Harris for the take out?” asked another commentator.

Harris’s flummoxed response this week to a simple question did little to abate cocaine concerns, along with another incident of the VP bursting into cackling hysterics.

When Harris was asked at Friday’s “Essence Festival of Culture” to describe how she would define culture, her rambling response drew concerns about possible drug use, including the cocaine found in the West Wing.

“Culture is — it is a reflection of our moment and our time. Right?” Harris burbled, and went downhill in an incoherent rant that prompted Twitchy’s Doug Powell to implore, “Can somebody tell Kamala she shouldn’t be eating every gummy in the package all at once?”

The Veep continued her oratory, explaining, “And present culture is the way we express how we’re feeling about the moment and we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment. That is a reflection of joy. Because, you know…it comes in the morning.”

“After listening to Vice President Kamala Harris described what she thinks about culture, I think we might have a clue to the source of the forgotten cocaine,” ventured one commentator. “That baggie was definitely hers,” said another.

Harris’s disturbingly bizarre cackling at another event raised similar alarms, with one tweet opining, “We now know it was her cocaine which explains the laugh!” and another quipping, “Maybe it’s not hunter’s cocaine after all.”

The White House continued to obfuscate and dodge any questions relating to the cocaine found in the West Wing, with insurrectionist press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declaring on Friday that questions about the cocaine belonging to a Biden family member were “irresponsible.”

House GOP Targets BlackRock, Woke Corporations w/ Antitrust Investigation

House GOP Targets BlackRock, Woke Corporations w/ Antitrust Investigation

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The House Judiciary Committee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, has sent four letters to the heads of major companies, demanding answers regarding their efforts to promote corporate environmental, social, and governance initiatives that may potentially violate federal antitrust laws.

A press release from the House Judiciary revealed that the letters were addressed to executives at BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street Global Advisors and the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero. The committee accused these companies of colluding “to reach net zero emissions by 2050 or sooner across all assets under management.”

In a letter directed at BlackRock, Jordan expressed concerns about potential violations of U.S. antitrust law. He stated, “BlackRock, Inc. (BlackRock) is potentially violating U.S. antitrust law by entering into agreements to ‘decarbonize’ its assets under management and reduce emissions to net zero—with potentially harmful effects on Americans’ freedom and economic well-being.”

The letter also requested relevant documents and information from BlackRock to aid in oversight and potential legislative reforms. Jordan reiterated similar language in the other three letters.

Jordan cautioned that in their pursuit of net-zero emissions, these companies would impose “draconian” restrictions on the use of coal, oil and gas.

He noted, “Such restrictions limit output and increase prices, and deprive businesses of investments and consumers of choices. The potential consequences for American freedom and economic well-being are far-reaching.”

According to the Judiciary Committee’s press release, the committee is evaluating the detrimental impact of these progressive proposals on the American economy.

In response to the congressional investigation, Vanguard, one of the companies under scrutiny, issued a statement to The Daily Caller, which first obtained the letters. A spokesperson for Vanguard said, “As an asset manager owned by the investors in our funds, our unique, independent approach is focused on helping everyday retail investors achieve their long-term financial goals. We look forward to reviewing and responding to the Committee’s request.”

The Caller also reported that the four letters followed a Judiciary subpoena sent to Ceres CEO Mindy Lubber, seeking answers on the corporation’s ESG promotion scheme.

Joe & Jill Turn White House into Personal Empire w/ Largest Staff in Nation’s History

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) According to a damning report released by OpenTheBooks, the White House payroll under President Joe Biden has surged to unprecedented levels, highlighting a significant expansion in government staffing and spending. 

The report, which examined government data and White House documents, revealed that the Biden administration enjoys the largest, most expensive to taxpayers staff in the history of the nation’s funding.

In the report, OpenTheBooks stated, “During President Joe Biden’s first three years, he spent $158.8 million on the largest White House payroll in American history, based on headcount.”  It added, “White House payroll approaches all-time high set in his first year.”

The fiscal year 2023 alone witnessed a staggering $52,775,234 being allocated to cover the collective costs of the White House staff, according to the report. The report highlights a striking fact: no previous administration has ever employed as many as 500 staffers until Biden assumed office.

In contrast, Biden employs 108 more staffers than former President Donald Trump during his third year and 70 more than his former boss, Barack Obama, did during the same period. 

The report also shed light on the staffing of First Lady Jill Biden, noting a substantial increase in her team in the White House’s East Wing, totaling 20 servants. This number marks a sharp contrast to Melania Trump’s staffers, which “fluctuated between five and 12 through” Trump’s presidential term. 

In addition to the statistics, the article reported the highest-paid White House staffer under the Biden administration, stating, “The top paid is Demetre C. Daskalakis ($260,718), Deputy Coordinator for the Monkeypox Response.” The report also highlights the presence of policy advisors, or “czars,” within the Biden administration, with 115 special assistants to the president focusing on various issues.

The report also blasted the Biden administration’s decision to still host several staffers under the controversial division named “COVID-19 Response,” despite the fact that Biden himself declared the pandemic to be “over” in 2022.

“[T]he White House still hosts multiple staffers with a title that includes “COVID-19 Response,” with salaries ranging from $183,500 for Karuna Sashasai (Senior Policy Advisor for the COVID-19 Response) to $51,500 for Theodore Sorota (Advisor to the Deputy Coordinator of the COVID-19 Response),” the report stated.

The scathing report comes days after the scandals surrounding Biden’s government has “consumed” him, triggering him into lashing out at staffers against advising him from pulling out his son, Hunter Biden, from public appearances amid heavy scrutinized.

San Fran. Reparations Committee Member Says Straight White Men Are Serial Killers

San Fran. Reparations Committee Member Says Straight White Men Are Serial Killers

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) A black San Francisco reparations advisory committee member exposed her hatred toward straight white men by saying that they are “serial killers” and “the ones who are shooting up schools.”

Additionally, Nikcole Cunningham, a panelist on the 15-member San Francisco reparations committee, said that straight white men are a “danger to society,” the Telegraph reported.

Even though they are “privileged,” straight white men have “a lot of s*** wrong” because they are “abusive” and “serial killers,” Cunningham said.

“They have the most — I watch these shows — the most serial killers. Straight white men are the ones who are shooting up schools, right?” she said. “So they are a danger to society. Not all of them.”

Cunningham stated that white men are “[posing] more of a harm than support and help” when it comes to reparations.

She claimed that white people must remember their ancestors because they were “the ones who were standing out here [San Francisco] in their Sunday best watching black people hang and burn,” adding that white people should “come to grips with their ancestry” and “make amends.”

Cunningham’s next remark was that “white supremacy is ingrained in the DNA in this country and definitely in this city,” even though slavery existed neither in the state of California, in general, nor the city of San Francisco, in particular.

San Francisco’s reparations committee was launched in May 2021 and started suggesting that every black resident of the city is entitled to $5 million and complete debt forgiveness. To be eligible for the benefits, a black person must be at least 18 years old and have identified as either black or African American on public documents for at least 10 years.

The applicants must also meet two of eight other criteria, among which are having been born or moved to San Francisco between 1940 and 1996 with proof of residency for minimally 13 years and being a personal or direct descendant of a person who was enslaved before 1865, the publication reported.

The Hoover Institution, a conservative think tank, estimated that the reparations plan would cost the city approximately $175 billion — the amount of money that San Francisco doesn’t have since the annual budget of the city is $14 billion.

Cunningham suggested taxing “water, garbage, PG&E [Pacific Gas and Electric], internet, cable” to cover the costs.

Ben & Jerry’s Parent Company Loses $2B in Market Cap after Anti-American Messaging

(Headline USA) Ben & Jerry’s parent company, Unilever, has lost $2 billion in market cap value this week following an Indepence Day tweet in which Ben & Jerry’s called for the U.S. to return “stolen” land to indigenous tribes, starting with Mount Rushmore.

Shares of Unilever slid 0.8% on Thursday after dropping 0.5% the previous day, according to the New York Post. Thursday’s closing price was around $51.31, roughly a dollar below its Monday closing price. 

In total, Unilever’s market cap dropped from $130.2 billion to $128.5 billion in the span of four days.

Though Ben & Jerry’s has pushed leftist propaganda frequently, customers derided the company’s July 4 tweet as a new low.

“This 4th of July, it’s high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it,” the company tweeted. “The faces on Mount Rushmore are the faces of men who actively worked to destroy Indigenous cultures and ways of life, to deny Indigenous people their basic rights.”

Customers immediately called for a boycott against Ben & Jerry’s.

“Make @benndjerrys Bud Light again,” singer John Rich wrote, referring to conservatives’ successful boycott of Bud Light in response to its partnership with controversial transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Another user responded: “Long overdue for the Bud Light treatment. You hate the country, fine. We won’t buy your product. All good.”

In response to Ben & Jerry’s pledge, chief of the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation, Don Stevens, said he’d be willing to take up the company on its offer and “reclaim” the territory on which Ben & Jerry’s headquarters currently resides.

Stevens told Newsweek that his tribe, which descended from the Abenaki Indian confederacy that reportedly once controlled the land in Burlington, Vermont, “are always interested in reclaiming the stewardship of our lands throughout our traditional territories and providing opportunities to uplift our communities.”

He noted that Ben & Jerry’s has yet to approach them or cede the territory to them.

Joy Reid Claims She Was Too Scared of Guns to Leave Her House on July 4

(Headline USA) MSNBC’s Joy Reid claimed this week that she was too scared of guns to leave her home on the Fourth of July.

During a segment of her show The Reidout on Wednesday, Reid and former firearms industry executive Ryan Busse blasted America’s gun culture and called for stringent gun control policies. 

Reid suggested that until such policies are passed, she will not feel comfortable attending public events for fear of becoming a shooting victim.

“I have to say, I did not go out on July Fourth and would not,” Reid said. “The idea of going to a mass gathering, a parade, or a big fireworks thing outside seems insane to me, to be blunt, in America, because America is awash with guns, and now people don’t just have them, they seem to want to shoot people with them and use them for whatever, you know?” 

Busse agreed and argued the right to bear arms is at odds with citizens’ natural rights to life and liberty.

“The right to own firearms is an immensely powerful thing,” he said. “In fact, nothing is more targeted at the ability to remove the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness of fellow citizens in a second or two, dozens of them as we have seen than the right to own firearms.”

Later on in the show, Reid blasted Florida’s stand-your-ground self defense law as a “threat.”

“The stand your ground laws say don’t just have a gun, shoot someone. Use it. Somebody rings your doorbell, shoot them because we’ll protect you under the law,” Reid claimed. “I don’t know how anybody can be a DoorDasher. I don’t know how anybody can do a job where they have to deliver to someone’s home, or deliver Amazon. Ringing a doorbell is deadly now.”

High School Debate Judge Accused of Censoring Trump Reference at Nat’l Tournament

High School Debate Judge Accused of Censoring Trump Reference at Nat’l Tournament

(Robert Jonathan, Headline USA) A high school debating team member claims that a tournament judge earlier this year warned her that any mention of former President Donald Trump in a foreign policy discussion about Joe Biden’s record in that arena was “inappropriate.”

Florida student and free speech advocate Briana Whatley came forward on Twitter to assert that the judge “couldn’t put her personal ideology to the side to judge me impartially.”

She added that “I’m not the only student that has had to self-censor in debates.”

Whatley also revealed that the National Speech and Debate Association allegedly allows woke bias to determine the framing of debate questions.

“The NSDA and judges alike need to stop inputting their own narratives into our debates,” Whatley insisted.

In a Washington Examiner essay, Whatley — who loves politics — succinctly set forth how the 45th president’s foreign policy record was fair game, despite the judge’s admonition, especially in contrast with his successor.

“Put simply, I had to conform to [the judge’s] ideology if I wanted a chance to win. Of course, my argument wasn’t ‘inappropriate.'”

Whatley explained that “Trump’s presidency was enormously consequential, and Biden’s has paled in comparison. Trump convinced NATO members to increase their contributions, he was the first president in a generation not to start a new war, and perhaps most notably, he brokered the Abraham Accords,” she said.

“Those agreements established diplomatic recognition between various Muslim-majority states and Israel. I wasn’t allowed to say any of that. My preparation and research had gone to waste. I was censored and I lost.”

Whatley further outlined the purported default and rigged progressive tilt of NSDA topics that, for example, assume that cosmetic diversity in the form of affirmative action hiring practices are a positive and that voter ID laws are “oppressive.”

“Debate is the last area on Earth where students should be shamed for making fact-based arguments. Unfortunately, it happens all the time,” she lamented.

In an interview, Briana Whatley recently told Newsmax that “it’s dangerous when [debate] judges are allowed to make these ambiguous terms and be able to penalize students like myself for making arguments that [don’t] coincide with their personal ideology.”

The forthright teen declared that “adapting to your audience and conforming to your judge are two different things, and I won’t stand for it.”

She has separately chided her own “closed-minded” generation for relying way too much on platforms like TikTok for their current-events information.

In a May 2023 article for The Free Press, James Fishback, the founder of an organization called Incubate Debate and formerly an NSDA fan, wrote that “Unfortunately for students and their parents, there are countless judges at tournaments across the country whose biased paradigms disqualify them from being impartial adjudicators of debate…

“[J]udges are making it clear they are not only tilting the debate in a left-wing direction, they will also penalize students who don’t adhere to their ideology,” he implied about what seems to be a go-along-to-get-along censorship scenario.

In a split-screen with Whatley, Fishback told Newsmax that “we’ve got to bring free speech back to high school debate. The stakes could not be higher.”

In a statement, the NSDA indicated that it instructs its volunteer judges to steer clear of ideological bias.

SELLERS: Why GOP Should Seriously Consider Immunity Deals for Biden Kids

SELLERS: Why GOP Should Seriously Consider Immunity Deals for Biden Kids

(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) Given the fallout from the mounting number of scandals surrounding the Biden White House, it seems inevitable that the dam will burst at some point. 

Even the Left’s No. 1 shill, Andrea Mitchell, was unable to carry water after the discovery of cocaine in the West Wing last weekend.

“I can’t even fathom anything like this having been found before in the West Wing,” the notorious MSNBC correspondent confessed.

Indeed, it is hard for anyone to fathom such a thing. There is no way that behavior so outrageous, so unseemly, would be allowed to pass without consequence.

Such cognitive dissonance goes part and parcel with the sort of propaganda-driven authoritarianism found in regimes like Nazi Germany, the Stalinist Soviet Union, Maoist China, Kimist North Korea and, of course, that of the current White House occupant.

“It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously,” wrote Adolf Hitler, explaining the “Big Lie” concept in his manifesto, Mein Kampf. “Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation.”

Leftists are well aware of this fact, which is why they so eagerly sought to appropriate the term “Big Lie” for themselves and weaponize it against their opponents before it could be used against them over their systematic approach to information control.

The “Big Lie” may go a long way toward explaining the weaponization of the COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying social-justice riots in 2020 to destabilize the nation by undermining its voting integrity, jurisprudence, and system of checks and balances in the aftermath of that year’s presidential election.

And it can explain a lot that has happened since then with respect to some of the Biden family’s favorite business partners in places like China and Ukraine—not to mention the incessant gaslighting that has consumed American culture, forcing citizens concerned about their social capital to publicly deny even the most self-evident and fundamental of truths.

Still, there are some things that are left unexplained by the “Big Lie” theory of governance.

For example, why, on the very day that the discovery of cocaine in the White House was a major breaking news story, would Hunter Biden appear to do a bump in the presence of his entire family from a White House balcony with cameras rolling?

Was it simply the thrill of risking it all in the moment, or showing the world what he can get away with? Or was it a cry for help?

EMBIGGENING THE LIE

There comes a point at which the level of recklessness involved in the Bidens’ activities is so implausible that it strains credulity, even when approaching them with full awareness of the lies involved.

If cracks (no pun intended) begin to show in the façade of the “Big Lie,” can making it bigger, bolder and even more brazen really be the answer?

The “Big Lie” theory certainly can help explain why the country’s intelligence community knowingly colluded with social-media platforms to spread disinformation about Hunter’s so-called laptop from Hell.

It did not matter that 51 top former intelligence officials had absolutely no basis for claiming the laptop could be yet another attempt at Russian election interference. All that mattered was that their bogus letter to that effect lent plausible deniability to the lapdog media just long enough to get their basement-dwelling candidate across the finish line, even though the FBI itself had maintained possession of the damning laptop for years.

But what the “Big Lie” theory cannot explain is why or how Hunter Biden ever could have left a laptop (or multiple laptops) that contained so much sensitive, degrading and politically compromising information in the hands of a total stranger to begin with.

Are we really to believe that the drugs made him do it, just as it was allegedly a bender that made Hunter fire of a perfectly lucid and coherent WhatsApp message from his father’s home threatening to extort a businessman linked to China’s espionage ministry while claiming that the future president was sitting right beside him at the time?

But the pattern doesn’t end with Hunter.

How many people would keep a diary alleging that their public-figure father may have sexually molested them and then accidentally leave it behind at a halfway house?

Ashley Biden did.

Luckily, Merrick Garland’s Justice Department was there to raid the journalists and arrest the hapless couple who discovered it.

THE FAMILY DISEASE

Taken in their collective sum, after cutting away all the noise and cognitive dissonance used to confuse and misdirect the public, it is hard to see the Biden children’s behavior as anything but deliberate—if unconscious—acts of self-sabotage.

They may, in fact, suffer from the most severe cases of Stockholm syndrome ever recorded. How else might one learn to cope when one’s father is a powerful man who also happens to be a sexual predator?

Not only does this explanation jibe with the private accounts that Hunter and Ashley offer in their respective correspondences, but it also reaffirms what we know to be true of Joe Biden’s own behavior.

If a man behaves like this openly in public, what is he doing behind closed doors when people are not watching?

In a 2018 text message between Joe and Hunter discovered via the laptop, the elder Biden even admitted that he bore the direct responsibility for his son’s “disease.”

“All I want is to make you proud,” wrote Hunter, who was 48 at the time of the exchange. “And I know I haven’t. But I promise I’m trying Dad.”

The future president responded, shortly after 4 a.m., by offering absolution to his prodigal son and assuring him that the issues that afflicted him were not his fault.

“You’ve always made me proud you got the disease from mommy and me but you are strong and courageous with so much more to give,” Joe Biden wrote.

Just two months after that exchange, Hunter was contacted by his uncle Jim, who warned him that his sister-in-law-turned-ex-lover, Hallie, the widow of his brother Beau, had been complaining about sexually inappropriate photos that Hunter had taken with his niece Natalie, in which the underage girl was topless.

“Your father is getting as am I barraged by Hallie. He has not responded I have not responded,” Jim Biden wrote.

“… Once again we both need you[r] side of the story so we can both shove it down her f***ing throat !!!!” he continued. “I implore you to call. Please I/we are on you[r] side. I believe you[.]”

THEORY OF EVERYTHING

As the Biden story begins to unravel, it may be tempting to go after Hunter, the low-hanging fruit, whose prosecution under any circumstances other than the current travesty would be a cut-and-dry case several times over.

However, Reps. James Comer, R-Ky., who chairs the House Oversight Committee, and Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, might wish to think outside the box when the opportunity does finally present itself to hold Joe Biden accountable for his crimes.

By then, his children may be ready to come forward and, for once, provide the American people with a clear and full picture of the underlying evil that motivates his every move.
