The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. — George Orwell, 1984
Like Zelig, Only Son Hunter Biden shows up at many of the events of Washington’s glitterati — a White House State Dinner for French President Macron, a Kennedy Center Honors ceremony for George Clooney, Gladys Knight and the like — as if he too is a celebrity. Shamefully, the White House parades him as a recovering addict, worthy of our sympathy and compassion, instead of what he really is: a corrupt pol.
Excuse me NBC, CBS, ABC, NYT, WashPost, AP, Reuters and all the rest —Hunter Biden is not some forlorn drug addict. He’s the linchpin in a Biden kickback scheme that siphoned huge payouts from foreign countries — Russia, China, Ukraine — in exchange for favors to distribute to his family — his uncle James and especially his father, “The Big Guy,” Joe Biden — totaling millions of backroom dollars.
Don’t believe me? Peter Schweizer has documented it all. So has Miranda Devine, who led the NYPost coverage of the laptop Hunter Biden dropped off at a repair shop, full of salacious details on the Biden bribery machine, the same laptop the FBI has held for two years without finding anything in it worthy of investigation.
As Elon Musk unleashes the Twitter Files, the corporate media turns its backs on the revelation that Twitter suppressed evidence of Biden family corruption before the 2020 election. That is the import of the laptop, not Hunter’s debauchery. Even as Musk ordered the telling files released, a mole named Jim Baker, who got a job at Twitter after serving as counsel to the FBI’s Russia hoax, was scrubbing those files of any mention of the FBI. Musk fired him. Now, rather than apologize for suppressing info, Dems double-down on the messengers, criticizing Matt Taibbi — who is not a conservative but a real journalist — and slamming Musk, their one-time EV darling.
All of this makes the Biden White House the most aggressively corrupt of any administration since Warren G. Harding. But you wouldn’t know that reading our left-wing propagandists in the corporate media. On the Sunday morning TV talk shows, the networks together spent a total of 7 minutes on the Twitter Files.
Carl Bernstein has made a mockery of the phrase, using it whenever a corrupt media accused Donald Trump of a fabricated scandal. But finally it is apt. Biden’s corruption is worse than Watergate. Where are the committees, the prosecutors, the journalists who zealously forced Richard Nixon from office? Where are Woodward and Bernstein? They are partisans, who care not about protecting the nation from charlatans, only about protecting their status as stars in the DC journalist firmament.
Then there’s FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, who at last count was still hanging out in the Bahamas, giving media interviews to fawning journalists who imbibe his victim routine and ask no follow-up questions. In one of my favorites, he told Bloomberg he “miaccounted” $8 billion. Why has this man not been arrested? Hundreds of Americans are still in jail for snapping photos at the Capitol on Jan 6. But this weirdo, this Ponzi scheme genius who might yet bring down crypto world, walks free. Why? Because his scheme may have robbed investors of billions but he gave their $ to the Dems. Second only to George Soros in PAC campaign spending, he might even have been the difference, the man who broke the back of the Red Wave in 2022.
So they protect him — Dems like Maxine Waters, chair of the House Financial Service Committee, who praised him for his “candid” interviews. Puff pieces in magazines, softballs on TV shows, cushy life in the Bahamas — prosecutors with such ferocity they drove Madoff’s son to suicide are nowhere to be seen.
We are living inside a two-tiered justice system — pro-life protestors are arrested, while abortion on demand activists bomb pregnancy centers with impunity. Without equal justice under the law, without accountability for crime and corruption, the society of civilized behavior is gone. Barbarians are at the gate, many armed with notepads and recorders, come not to chronicle the news but to hide it.
The White House delights in taking advantage of this void of criticism, existing in a space where lies are quickly made into reality. So President Biden sends his press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, to call the Twitter Files a “distraction” to divert attention from the real problem of the moment — anti-semitism. Oh please.
This is the party of Ilhan Omar, who in 2019 tweeted that the U.S. support of Israel is “all about the Benjamins.” She also said “I almost chuckle” at the idea that Israel is a democracy. “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel,” she has tweeted. This is the party of Al Sharpton, and Louis Farrakhan and Ben & Jerry, the party that backs the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement that likens Israel to the apartheid South Africa. But if Kanye (now Ye) West has dinner with Donald Trump and then praises Hitler, the White House projects onto conservatives the antisemitism label that is a better fit for them.
These are the same Democrats who call themselves warriors for social justice, in the process breaking the social contract that connects us as humans. Now, with crime rates soaring in big cities, California is emptying the jails of pedophiles who have served one year of their sentences, even though there is no known cure for pedophilia.
None of this is inevitable. We could start the recovery with some accountability.
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky, plans to investigate the Bidens for money laundering and tax evasion. Already, Dems are laying groundwork to call this political revenge for ancient history, and because they control the megaphone, their narrative will prevail.
First Republicans have to elect a speaker to the House. And given the infighting among GOP factions, and the party’s history of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, this is not a given, despite their 222-213 margin. A coalition of moderates on both sides of the aisle might turn to an outsider to run the House. Liz Cheney anyone?
Excellent, incisive article. I was in high school when Watergate broke. We watched the hearings in social studies class. So I’m old...I’ve seen a lot of corrupt politics. Biden makes Nixon and his Plumbers look like a bunch of high school kids out for a night of tp-ing the neighbor’s houses. Uncle Joe and his family are rotten to the core.
