By Michael Reagan
Half the country has no idea why the front page of Thursday’s New York Post was so hilarious.
That’s because, thanks to the liberal media, half of the country still has no idea who Hunter Biden is, or why he is in trouble for raking in millions for his extended family from foreign businessmen by selling access to his father Joe’s “brand” and political influence.
The Post – which is famous for its funny front pages and lively conservative journalism – brilliantly summed up the Biden Family’s international influence-peddling racket on Aug. 10.
Its front page carried the huge headline “JOE FOR $ALE” next to a big photo of a smiling President Biden holding a sign that said “Open for Business – Price $20 million.”
The Post also asked a question that would have mystified the half of the country that only watches MSNBC and reads the New York Times — “Foreign clients gave Hunter a Porsche, a diamond and millions of dollars – What did they THINK they were buying?”
The Blue half of the country would never get the Post’s jokes about Hunter and Joe Biden.
That’s because they have hardly ever heard any news about Hunter or the latest reports detailing how he and his dad worked their lucrative family side-gig.
The Post’s journalists have done heroic work on the Bidens – unlike the liberal mainstream print and electronic media, which is so biased, partisan and dishonest that it has barely mentioned Hunter’s name.
For four years the liberal media have shown zero interest in investigating the sleazy and incriminating contents of his “Laptop From Hell” or covering the ongoing investigations by House Republicans into Hunter’s banking and money-laundering tricks.
The left’s partisan journalists are still so fixated on hating Donald Trump and making sure he never returns to power that they will never cover the blunders, failures and crimes of the Bidens.
Did the Biden administration wreck the economy with high inflation, create a crisis at the Southern border, cripple our oil and gas industries, botch the withdrawal from Afghanistan, fail to prevent the war in Ukraine and mismanage the war on Covid?
The liberal media’s response – “We don’t care. We hate Trump.”
Did the Biden Justice Department overdo the prosecution of Jan. 6 rioters for political reasons? Did the Biden FBI unfairly treat conservative Catholics as possible terrorists?
“Don’t care. We hate Trump.”
Did Biden’s CDC kowtow to the teachers union to keep schools closed for too long and lie to the country about the safety and efficacy of the covid vaccines?
“Dunno. We hate Trump.”
So now, after three years of Biden incompetence and lies, the liberal media refuses to admit that the country is a mess in many economic and social ways.
We have huge homeless populations living on the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco. We have smash-and-grab gangs in Beverly Hills that go unpunished and we have chained up ice cream freezers in drug stores.
We have tens of thousands of illegal immigrants from dozens of countries overwhelming cities like New York and Boston. We have Fentanyl Island in Oakland, Ca.
What is President Biden and his administration doing to fix all these national and local problems? Is he to blame?
Don’t expect the liberal media to ever press Biden to answer that kind of question. They’re not interested. All they know is, “We hate Trump.”
The liberal mainstream media hate Trump so much they’d never do or say anything that might help him win or hurt Biden in 2024.
I fear for 2024. I’m truly concerned about Republicans winning back the White House. I don’t think Trump can win and he’s not going to let anyone else try.
My greatest worry is that if he doesn’t win the nomination he will sabotage the nominee, guarantee a Democrat victory and destroy the Republican Party – if he hasn’t done that already.
Then there’d be a legitimate reason for me to agree with the liberal media who say “We hate Trump.”

Brian says
Wow. What a great, truthful article. Surprised to see it here, but on point all the same.
Jim says
I don’t agree with Reagan or your mantra, but it is absurd that you don’t see the same thing on your side. No one is above the law. Jared, Ivanka, Bubba Trump, the other 18 or 19, Hunter, or Joe. Apply the law equally to all. Neither should be allowed to flaunt the law. 2 wrongs don’t make a right.
DaleL says
Jared and Ivanka have not been indicted or implicated in the conspiracy to overthrow the 2020 presidential election. As far as has been determined, they both told Donald Trump the truth.
Jared and Ivanka do appear to have benefited off of their relationship with Donald Trump, but whether they committed actual crimes or just skirted the law is for the DOJ and the courts.
I do agree though, that no one should be above the law. There is also no doubt that Hunter Biden has been treated differently than Donald Trump. Hunter has been treated far more harshly. Trump in all of his indictments so far, has not had a mug shot taken, been forced to post bail, or even had to turn in his passport.
Robert Joseph Fortier says
Open your mind and stop being brainwashed.
Hunter Biden is a criminal, yet he get’s to run scot free with no punishment.
Our current president is brain dead and destroying our Countries reputation.
Can We Stop This Now says
I think Trump gets to run scot free with no punishment. Keep elevating him to savior status and punch any else who might be guilty with the smallest percentage of wrong doings on soc media
ExhibitA says
punishment for what? the made up russian collusion that hillary accused him for. or do you want him punished from obama spying on his campaign? stop being stupid for just one minute and open your eyes for god’s sake.
Can We Stop This Now says
If you find meso stupid, why did you bother to reply months later? Let’s move on to what’s current.
Can We Stop This Now says
Go after Hunter, what a rat bastard! Thank GOD Trump has never told a lie, diverted the truth, supported anyone who had a change of heart about him. Of course Biden’s son should be crushed like a cockroach, but Trump is the messiah and has never done anything wrong. Please protect him at all costs b/c he is God. Hunter is a POS and should be eliminated from God’s green earth. If u think that’s true, then u r what is killing us!
Sherry says
@ Jim. . . you are so right. If the government is going to spend years and years investigating President Biden’s children, they should also investigate trump’s children and spouses. “ALL” of those guilty of crimes should be held EQUALLY accountable. No one should be above the law!
Feddy says
People on the far left or right have tunnel vision, they can’t see or even admit there is any wrongdoing by their choice and that is what we are seeing here. How many times have we heard “Where there’s smoke there’s fire”? it was said since 2017 about anything related to Trump, but the same doesn’t apply to Joe or Hunter. If Trump, his associates of family members are guilty then charge accordingly but also do so for the Bidens and the Clintons or whoever regardless or political affiliation. The media has divided this country because of their favoritisms for a political party instead of actually reporting the news, real journalism is dead, they are just opinion pieces to be read by their targeted audience.
Tammy says
show me proof, what did Jared, Ivanka and Bubba do? We have proof that Biden is dirty where’s yours?
Jim says
Trump—incited an insurrection
Jared—2 billion dollars from Saudi. Makes Hunter’s look like chump change
Ivanka—just another crony Cosa Trumps
ExhibitA says
according to the moronic democrats like chucky schumer “Trump incited an erection..” lmao.. no but seriously, are you so gullible that you believe that trump incited an insurrection.. he said to go peacefully and patriotically and of course the media wont show that part because it wont fit their narrative.. lets see what you would say about the true insurrection committed by palestinian people that are for hamas..
Jim says
I’m surprised you’re still on this. Well, if you don’t think he incited an insurrection, you probably think it was a peaceful demonstration, too. Don’t go by what I said, go by the many former Trumpers who have had a change of heart. You can’t yell “Fire” in the theater, and then when the stampede starts, add “No, there’s not a fire.” But I don’t think I will change your mind… As for Palestinians, I don’t think all of the people there support Hamas any more than all the people that live in Florida support DeSantis or Trump. I think that the extremists that supported violence against Israel and the extremists that participated in the insurrection do have something in common. They do not like the current situation and resort to violence to attempt to make a change.
STOP says
Bruh- move on
Wren says
Great article, I couldn’t agree more. Biden couldn’t wait to get into office to undo everything good that Trump had done for our country. Too much ego, and look what it has done to our people and families. If Biden was a man of integrity and wisdom, he wouldn’t have chosen his pride and ego over the American people. Hatred begets more hatred and we need to unite to save the United States of America. Thank you Michael Reagan for your honest assessment.
John Moreno says
Wait, too much ego and all the great things Trump did? What like telling us to drink bleach? Pride and Ego to me thats former President Trump. Just listen to his rants and his feeble attempts to justify his lies. Michael Reagan is one guy I haven’t heard about or from in years.
Sherry says
@wren. . . Please post “credentialed facts” regarding precisely what trump did that was so good for our country, and also please post “credentialed facts” proving that President Biden undid that long list of great things. Otherwise, we will all continue to understand that you have NO Facts at all. . . just BS FOX/right winged talking points.
Facts only on all future posts, please.
jake says
You still wanting everyone else to do your work for you. Google is your friend, if you really wanted to know the truth, you would seek it.
Sherry says
No jake. . . I don’t want anyone to do any work for me! All I’m asking for is research and the finding of “credible facts” before posting divisive unsubstantiated vitriol. “I” seek and find the actual “TRUTH” every day, and I often post the text and links to those facts here on Flaglerlive. “I” do take the time to do the research in order to present “credible factual information” to you all. The trouble is that, “you” ,and others like you, just don’t want to acknowledge the factual truth!!
If we all began with “substantiated factual information” in our discussions the result would be much more fruitful, and our democracy would be strengthened. We could then have a much better meeting of the minds, which would benefit us all. Wouldn’t you agree?
Tony Mack says
Sadly Sherry, they never will agree.
Sherry says
@ Tony Mack. . . unfortunately, you are right on! The jakes of this word do not want actual facts to get in the way of their beliefs and agenda.
Can we stop this now says
You know all stations cover the news, even if it is skewed. Those in the middle are getting tired of the devisiveness this article perpetuates. We’re in for a poor future if our government can’t focus on America’s problems that families/communities face daily. It almost seems easier to throw out the whole lot (both sides), start anew, and work towards a livable future w/out the drama!
Brandon Cross says
Yes all networks carry the news
Yet None cover the conservative side of political subjects.
other than Fox News
Please show me wrong ?
Laurel says
Brandon: Fox Entertainment settled with Dominion for a very large sum of money, $787 million, for lying about their voting machines and results of the election. Fox settled to avoid trial.
AP headline: “Fox News and three hosts sued for $2.7 billion by voting machine company over election-fraud claims.” Smartmatic is in the process of suing Fox, its commentators, and Guiliani for lying about their voting machines.
This is your news source?
Maybe there shouldn’t be a “side.” Maybe there should just be facts. Try PBS instead. Drop the confirmation bias.
Carol says
Hate = obsession. They are obsessed with Trump, they hate him so much for exposing the truth, that they can’t stop talking about him.
Laurel says
Carol: Trump exposing the truth? Please explain just what that supposed “truth” is. I’m a lifelong Independent, which means I pick a candidate by his/her integrity, not by party. You cannot see Trump’s narcissism? It’s okay to practice nepotism with his unqualified children? You don’t hear his authoritative, self promoting rants? What does he ever talk about besides himself, in grandiose terms?
As a woman, Carol, how do you justify a man who brags about sexually assaulting women? Who has been found guilty of sexual assault. Who enjoyed going behind the scenes of a teenage beauty pageant dressing room, while the girls are getting dressed. Who said of Ghislaine Maxwell, after her conviction of sexually assaulting teenage girls, “I wish her well.” Who hung out with Jeffery Epstein, who was convicted, along with Maxwell, of sexually assaulting teenage girls. Who cheated on all three wives, you know, adultry. Who paid off a porn star. Who called other politician’s wives ugly. Is this the truth you speak of?
As an American, how do you justify Trump waving his arms around mocking a man with palsy? Who constantly acts like a 12 year old calling people ridiculous, childish names. Who considers ridding us of the Constitution when it doesn’t suit him though he swore an oath to uphold it. Who said of John McCain, a real war hero, “I don’t like people who get caught” though he managed to get five deferments for his cowardly self. Who lies about the election. Who lost 60 cases in court about the election lie. Who surrounds himself “with only the best people” who are being convicted right and left. Is this the “truth” you find so dear?
I do not hate Trump. I do, however, believe he is the worst President we’ve ever had. He is a complete embarrassment. He is the friend of, and works for, Vladimir Putin. He is the friend of, and dances with, Mohammed bin Salman, who ordered the death of an American Journalist. He is the friend of communist Kim Jong Un. He is the enemy of our allies. He is a danger to our country. He is a danger to democracy. He is a pathological liar.
Ninety-one felony counts.
He doesn’t give a damn about you, woman. It’s endlessly shocking to me that anyone would support him!
Now, tell me about that “truth.”
Kat says
Bravo!
Sherry says
Well said Laurel! Very well said!
Tony Mack says
Everything you said is the truth. However, you left out a few things — he cheated on three wives, he cheated on a charity for children with cancer, he cheated on a charity for veterans, he cheated on students for his so-called University, he cheated on numerous contractors. How does a businessman who claims to be so smart actually bankrupt three casinos?
With all the cheating this coward has done, I often ask those who still believe in him — What makes you think he won’t cheat on you? Their response — bupkis. Just absolutely boggles the mind but then 180 million Germans followed a failed artist right into WWII. Some of these folks would gladly show you the ovens or the camps, believe me.
Can We Stop This Now says
He left the Jan 6th folks high & dry. Why would anyone still hold on? I was in a horrible relationship. What woke me up was a billboard that said: how would your mother feel if she knew that you allowed yourself To be treated this way?! I think she’d cry her eyes our & that’s when I ended the abuse
John moreno says
Would love Mr Trump to calm down and stop making things worse. He is so angry he is admitting to his wrongdoing every time he speaks.
Sherry says
@carol. . . It’s a proven fact that trump told over 30,000 lies while in office. Please enlighten us, precisely what credibly factual “truth” has trump exposed? Thanks!
Deka says
Sherry, just curious, ,the media tracked all the so called “lies” made by Trump and it is very clear that bumbiling biden is lying and telling made up stories , “I watched the bridge in Pittsburg collapse”, so who is tracking his lies??????? Seriously ,please reply
Laurel says
Deka: A lie is a lie, no matter who states it. A lie by one person does not make it okay for another to do it. Trump is not cleared, and I’ve never seen anyone lie so often as he. You say “”…so called “lies” made by Trump…”” Just out of curiosity, do you not know when someone is blatantly lying to you? If you cannot hear it, do you not see the body language? That has been a puzzlement to me about Trump supporters.
Seriously, please reply.
Sherry says
@deka. . . just Google these words: how many lies did trump tell while in office. What you find is “many, many” articles and fact checks saying over 30,000. In addition, check Politifact for articles like this:
https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/list/?speaker=donald-trump&ruling=false
You have to turn off FOX and actually take a moment to seek the truth in order to find it.
Deka says
I have not watched FOX news since Tucker left so not sure why you brought that up but I guess you are ok with making misstatements about me! How many lies has biden told based on searching google?
I will answer for you, the media has decided not to count the lies and mis statements, can you believe that Sherry, the media decided not to count anymore, simply amazing!!!
Sherry says
not sure about your “googling” skills deka. . . I found several stories that point to President Biden’s lles/misstatements in just a matter of seconds. Including this one from the Washington Post:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2021/biden-fact-checker-100-
Sherry says
BTW deka. . . why in the world would you put your trust in Tucker Carlson. . . a person who was fired by FOX:
Tucker Carlson “knows” he was fired by Fox News in April as a condition of the $787.5m settlement with Dominion Voting Systems regarding the broadcast of Donald Trump’s lie about election fraud, the former host says in a new book.
Laurel says
Deka: You mean to tell me that Google is protecting Biden? Holy cow!
When you speak of media, please know that freedom of the press is in our Constitution. That said, we all should get away from 24/7 media *news*, as it thrives off confirmation bias. They blabber to fill in air time. That’s not good. Back in the day, journalists only had a half an hour to an hour a day for shows regarding the news, and they had to get it right. Try PBS and NPR. They stick to the one hour shows.
Ban the GOP says
lol the guy literally said more than 49000 proven public lies during his tenure so its quite hilarious that you think he tells the truth. aww did sean hannity tell you that he does?
Deka says
I dont know if Trump can win the Presidency Seat back because he is running again an obvious biased press and the democrat party but I am seeing more and more Americans finally understanding how the democrats are using Federal Agencies to attack 1 man. I am hopefully that will be Trumps campaign. I hope many eyes are open to watching are Federal Government being used AGAINST a politician. This really is the Government “SWAMP” against America and I hope we can get 50.1% of the voting public to see this and vote to end it.
Ban the GOP says
Trump filled the swamp with his unqulified looney tunes appointments. And yes look how the right goes after someones kid. Trump committed all those felonies with some help from his criminal friends called the gop, its well documented. Funny how the party that loves law and order doesnt like it when their guy gets held accountable for a multitude of crimes they commited. Keep running sabatoge and maybe just maybe we can lock up the rest of them that prefer to obstruct justice and push misinformation and straight up lies.
Read a book on domestic terror or political coups cause you seem to be missing the point. Attempting to overthrow the goverment is treason and domestic terrorism. They should be treated as such. Lock him up!!
Tony Mack says
Seriously? Considering the indictments from Jack Smith — 86 people testified against Trump — not one of them was a Democrat. What are you folks drinking (or smoking)? Once again as with Nixon and Watergate — always scapegoat the messenger. It’s always the media is biased; the media is fake news. Gobbels would have been proud of the way some people swallow the propaganda. You hate Democrats and Jow Biden — we get that. Yet, you will take your Social Security, your Medicare, your Medicaid and even your VA benefits…all Democratic programs designed to help the ordinary American. God help you and your naivete.
Deborah Coffey says
Michael is late to the game and he’s got his blame game all wrong. He can’t acknowledge that his father was the beginning of the fall of America (there are lots of studies explaining just how Ronald Reagan crushed the American middle class, throwing people into poverty and caused them to mistrust everything “government”) and Trump is the end. It has nothing to do with the “liberal media.” We don’t need you to agree with the liberal media, Michael; we need you and your criminal enterprise of a party to stop destroying the country. Just STOP!
DaleL says
Ronald Reagan was not a perfect president by any means. However, when he was elected, the US economy was in shambles. Studies have been done as to how the US economy performs when a Democrat or Republican is the President. The economy, over Reagan’s 8 years, improved as much as that of a typical Democrat. (Democrats do better than Republicans in growing the economy.)
If Ronald Reagan were alive today, I predict he would be appalled with Donald Trump. He certainly was far more qualified to be president than Trump.
Sherry says
@ Deborah. . .
This BS “opinion piece” by Reagan Junior is nothing but an “attack” on the mainstream press. He has said nothing except to point out that the highly biased, right winged NY Post is doing all it can to take down Hunter Biden. . . and, that some cherry picked “imaginary” liberal people have said that they hate trump.
While this article from Politico has pulled together “credible facts” regarding “very troubled” Hunter Biden. . . who, by the way, is NOT the President! Definitely worth the read: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/06/20/hunter-biden-what-to-know-00102700
Deborah, I couldn’t agree more about President Ronald Reagan . . . his “trickle down” economics essentially destroyed the middle class and created the great divide between rich and poor. . . which even today has not fully recovered.
In addition, Reagan was responsible for greatly diminishing mental health services: In 1981 President Ronald Reagan, who had made major efforts during his Governorship to reduce funding and enlistment for California mental institutions, pushed a political effort through the U.S. Congress to repeal most of MHSA. The MHSA was considered landmark legislation in mental health care policy.
I’ll point out that many of the current homeless people are mentally unwell.
People. . . can we please just stick with the FACTS? Try switching to PBS, APNEWS, BBC, The Hill, Reuters, Politico. . . unfortunately there is plenty of bias on both sides, and a need to sift through the tabloid BS and lies of FOX, the NY Post, Breitbart, OAN, etc. etc.
Tony Mack says
And considering how the Right Wing refuses to acknowledge the immigrant problem, they fail to mention that their St. Ronnie granted amnesty to more than 3 million immigrants! Oooops.

So tired of hearing he is the victim, the real victims are the USA and our Constitution being attacked.
Deborah Coffey says
Amen.
Ed says
So, let’s not be gullible and we should do our research and fact check the story. Why can’t I find any main stream media coverage of these allegations? Can Michael Reagan be onto something?
Can’t wait to read the comments and as Sherry and Laurel always ask, state facts and stay on point! Forget Trump and the indictments. This is about the truth of media and the Hunter Biden story, selling the Biden brand and enriching the family.
Set aside personal beliefs and let’s ferret out the truth.

Can We Stop This Now says
Thank you, Sherry, for that news article! That’s what I understood Hunter’s circumstances to be & that’s what has been maintained in mainstream media. I can only guess, then, that the missing information & “none cover the conservative side” but Fox as we’ve learned from Brandon & Ed is because mainstream is giving facts and not ‘look at this shiny thing’ theories. Although I use the word theories loosely.
Laurel says
Well here I am, Ed. Come on, you’re too smart for this far right nonsense. You are to the right of me, and Sherry is to the left of me. I damn well know you see Trump’s narcissism, and his phony behavior. I also know you know he is a pathological liar.
Now, about Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden is not the President, nor is he in the running. Appointing a Special Council to investigate a private citizen, is nothing more than tit for tat. It doesn’t belong in politics any more than Trump’s kids belong as Presidential Advisors, yet they are not being investigated for the millions they made while in the Presidential Office.
Hunter Biden, and his absurd laptop, has been investigated for seven years now. Are the prosecutors so dumb they can’t find anything, or is there really not much there? One damn laptop is just not that hard to crack. Geek Squad could do it. If Hunter Biden is guilty, then he needs to be prosecuted, but not by Fox Entertainment. If there is a link to his father, then it would be Joe Biden who should get the Special Council investigation, right?
Come on! I have more faith in you than that.
Ed says
Sherry and Laurel,
First isn’t Politico just 180 degrees opposite of Fox? Neither is unbiased.
Do you really believe there isn’t any connection between Hunter’s shake downs and Joe? Really?
Second the special council wasn’t appointed to investigate a private citizen, but to give cover to the AG and DOJ since Weiss was caught lying by the testimony of the whistle blowers.
And I bet you each believe Hunter’s painting are worth the $250,00-$500,000 they are being purchased for from anonymous people. I wouldn’t bet that the buyers aren’t Democratic donors, would you?
You can’t see your nose either.
My premise was is the main stream media bias? The answer is of course, yes, yes, and absolutely yes. There is the fact you keep asking for. No media outlet is unbiased.
I’m not a Trump fan like you think but I also know Joe is well beyond the point of being the Leader of The Free World.
Just once will you both admit the truth like you beg or try to shame anyone who is not aligned with your ideology?
It’s called intellectual honesty, something you each believe some of us lack.
Laurel says
Ed: I guess I misjudged you. You are hellbent on grouping me with Democrats simply because I find Trump contemptible. My lifelong Republican husband finds Trump contemptible too. But you insist on grouping us. Black or white, right? This or that, only. No in between. No grey area.
FYI: I do not depend on Politico. That is just another one of your this or that assumptions. I tend to watch PBS News Hour, which is far, far less dramatic than the other outlets. Both Fox Entertainment and MSNBC yammer on endlessly for one or the other. This or that. CNN is a joke to me, so I never go there.
“Do you really believe there isn’t any connection between Hunter’s shake downs and Joe? Really?” I’ll tell you what I believe: I don’t know what Joe Biden may have or may have not done. What I do believe is that it is sure seems absurd that no link has been made in six years of investigation (I correct my previous statement of seven years). Politically going after a candidate’s son, who is not political, is tit for tat strictly. The current Republicans have nothing else to give.
Again, what’s wrong with proof?
I also believe that it is horrific that the current Republicans are demonizing the DOJ, the CIA, the FBI and the CDC. Though each may not be perfect, the far right is undermining our very democracy with this Trump ruse. There are thousands of dedicated employees working to keep us safe. I am offended by Trump’s bullshit, brainwashing the Americans against each other.
I also believe the current Republicans are not Republicans at all. They are definitely not conservatives. They are the Trumpers. Real Republicans, however, will not stand up for their party and will not take their party back. Therefore, the shameless, wackadoos are in charge. Democrats shoot themselves in the foot on a regular basis, and will not show their accomplishments, so both parties are extremely annoying to me.
Are there dummies out there? Oh my God, yes. My nose has been here all along.
Ed says
Why can’t the 6 year investigation you reference be a slow play strategy disguised as a cover up?
Top FBI, CIA and others have not been honest.
The entire Justice system and the IRS have been weaponized. Remember Lois Lerner at the IRS.
I have 3 sons and 3 daughter and I sincerely believe if a father has any type of relationship with his children he would know of a multi million dollar business enterprise. President Biden said he never spoke to Hunter ever about the dealings.
At the very least, it should not have taken place and is totally unethical in any circumstance. The Biden family all knew they were receiving a stipend, even the grandchildren.
I did not group you or anyone, I simply asked if you could just maybe see some truth In Michael Reagan’s article.
And finally, my reply post was to both you and Sherry and she did reference politico. The nose reference was that in order to see it, you have to look for it.
Laurel says
Ed: No man, I do not believe that Federal prosecutors would allow themselves, and damaging their reputations, to look like idiots by not being able to find anything worthwhile after six years if there was a real crime. What is the slow play strategy? For whom? Who benefits if it is a ruse? Biden?
Here’s where proof is crucial: When you claim that the FBI and CIA are dishonest and the “entire Justice system and the IRS have been weaponized,” there should be solid proof of such accusations. Such accusations without proof is nothing but the breakdown of our democracy, which lately, is intentional.
By the way, it would be impossible to weaponize the entire Justice system, or any other aforementioned government agency. Trump tried and it didn’t work.
When you claim the whole, damned Biden family is crooked, show the proof! If Biden is guilty, then investigate him by Special Council. His son is a private citizen, no matter who he talked to. The only reason to keep him in the news constantly, is to distract from Trump and his 91 felony charges. So far, those charges are a fact.
The reason facts and proof are needed is because they sure doesn’t seem to be necessary by a large portion of the American public. That’s a very good reason to be skeptical.
Sherry says
@ed. . . Please post “credible facts” that proves the Politico article is false. While, I’m sure you don’t want to be reminded that FOX agreed to settle and pay out 787 million for it’s lies regarding the accuracy of Dominion voting machines.
Me, I like the Associated Press best for factual information. But, the Politico article did a great job pulling together facts that would indicate to most “thinking” people that the whole Hunter Biden multiple year investigation is politically motivated.
After all these years those crack investigators have not found hard evidence of any crimes committed by President “Joe” Biden. The never ending shouting regarding “Hunter” Biden’s lap top reminds me of the whole Benghazi blaming and shaming of Hillary Clinton. I think we all deserve an end to this back and forth hate filled BS. Present your factual evidence to the courts and let the law decide. Just as it will with trump.
Ed says
Or are they slow playing it? Statue of limitations…
All I posted was political is not unbiased.
I would not choose that publication as proof of truth.
Why isn’t there a chance that the FBI, DOJ, ect are not being forthright?
Remember, Adam Schoffstall has proof that Trump was a Russian operative, on TV for months…where was it? Still waiting.
Did multiple credible people sign a letter that Hunters laptop was Russian Disinformation?
Why can the Hunter shakedowns involve his father?
Sherry says
@ed. . . suspicions and conspiracy theories are NOT the same as “evidence” and “credentialed facts”! Tabloid media outlets that pander in such stories are working hard to keep their readers off balance and in control by playing to their emotions. . . AKA brainwashing. Those techniques are also used to create cults, especially using fear to create paranoia. Sometimes, that fear and loathing results in acts of violence.
This is precisely why I have an open and active mind, and I spend my time seeking out substantiated facts from several different credible sources. Critical thinking is something I learned early on in high school. I had a great teacher who taught us about subtle “propaganda” using US newspapers. Things like understanding that since we read from left to right the photograph or headline on the left side of the page is what that publication wants you to remember the most.
It’s all a matter of degree. While ALL media outlets are biased, since they are created by imperfect human beings, some have massive political agendas and publish “extreme” propaganda in order accomplish those goals. Unfortunately for us, those kinds of media companies are largely to blame for the “culture wars” we see being played out every day.
My best response to counter balance such emotional trickery is to seek the truth using credible facts.

OH, so that’s the “slow play!” Biden willingly ruins his reputation, and that of his family, until some “statutes of limitations…” [runs out] while actively running for President. That makes sense to you. Meanwhile, Trump’s lawyers are trying just that.
The Hunter shakedown can involve his father. Find the proof, and prosecute. If not, move on. Six years and one unbreakable, mystical laptop.
Ban the GOP says
HAha repubs have a very loose relationship with the truth and facts. Just ask one about climate change, or elections or if the earth is flat or if priests are the real child molestors. I would argue all republicans are gullible and fail to look up any facts they didnt hear from faux news. Can never admit they have been duped. The election wasnt stolen but the supreme court was. Forget trumps what 100th felony indictment haha yea thats what they want voters to do, just forget were pushing for criminals to be in charge. Republican strategy if we cant find enough dirt on opponent go after their kids… isnt that right? I say we need some investigations into trumps kids that did hold public offices and stole money from cancer kids. Repubs are the scum of the earth and likely the most dangerous organization in the history of the human species.
Lock him up!!Just make sure the guy driving those criminals to prision is named brandon..
Dont worry though if racist ron wins he will pardon him, corrupt small men always scratch each others back. Rules for thee not for me.

I guess all I can say is I’m glad you have gotten away from Fox News long enough to be reading this. I hope you can keep an open rational mind and don’t accpet everything at face value. I’m with Deborah and Charles. I don’t know what the Biden “brand” is? Is that like the Trump brand. Do they have casinos, hotels, and hedge funds I don’t know about? Or is that the deep state?

I hate Trump because he attempted and is still attempting to overthrow our elected government of the United States. He has, with unrelenting viciousness, attacked and vilified anyone, Republicans or Democrat, who opposes him. This has nothing to do with policy. Trump took an oath to defend the US Constitution and the laws promulgated as a result. Two acts by the US Congress (House and Senate) declared the events of January 6th to be an insurrection. Trump is on trial now, accused of participating in the events of January 6th. Congress, by a majority vote found him to have instigated the events of January 6th.
The Constitution requires that to be president, a person must be at least 35 years old, a natural born citizen, and (14th Amendment) not to have been part of an insurrection after taking an oath to protect the Constitution. Donald Trump is NOT qualified to be president.
If there is really evidence of a “Biden crime family”, then first, why didn’t either of Trumps’ attorney generals do anything about it? Why is it that the claims are scandalous media stories with no hard facts. They are rather like the 60 some election lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign. Huge claims in the media, but no substance in court. Also, what the HECK does Hunter Biden have to do with Donald Trump?
James says
The NY Post?
Who owns it?
JimboXYZ says
End of the day here, there’s a reason that the Ukraine is a hot spot of US Foreign Aid. Does anyone need a witness even when the bank statements in a web if money laundering shows that several if not virtually every Biden Family member received payments from Ukrainian & Chinese sources ? The Federal reserve system documents wire transfers from account to account, shell corporation to shell corporation. Try moving your own money around from bank to bank, or even checking to savings account for the same bank for that matter. They aren’t transferring a digital amount unless there is real money backing that up for a transfer. Ask this woman in Ormond Beach how easy connecting those bank account dots is to press charges. She’s getting jail time, at the very least Hunter Biden needs to face the same. From reads, the Biden’s have received as much as $ 20 million, the woman in Ormond was 5-7.5% of that as an embezzlement. She faces up to 60 years in prison. What should the Biden family face for roughly 20 times the amount of the Security First Case. I think they have more than enough evidence to impeach Biden and get that process going to rid the nation of that corruption. Yeah, it’s a death sentence in Joe Biden’s case to lock him up for the remaining years of his life. But that’s the risks & decisions he made. Prison won’t be too bad for the entire family, it’s good enough for anyone else.

CAN We Stop This Now says
So you r saying Biden has a motive and he’s convinced other European countries to support his evil plan of covering up what Hunter did….that’s some complicated sheeat
Laurel says
This article is the stupidest one I’ve read yet. Poor Ron, Patty and Maureen. You can pick your friends, but you can’t pick…
BobZiolkowski says
FOX News (sic) only talks about Biden and the Democrats in a negative way, more so than CNN and probably on par with MSNBC. The country is divided and neither party is squeaky clean; however, Trump has a lot of people drinking spiked Kool-Aid…I cannot fathom how so many people believe what he says.
Laurel says
Bob: I know, but it’s real. Check this out: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ellievhall/surreal-photos-from-a-moonie-mass-wedding
Not everyone wants to be a leader, and many cannot survive without blindly following. Many want to be lead to the point of absurdity. Authoritarian wannabe heads know this, and use it. Trump is one. DeSantis is trying, but doesn’t have the personality to draw people in.
Flatsflyer says
Let’s simplify, Joe Biden, 0 indictments, Donald Trump, 91 indictments. Family members involved in criminal activities, Trump 5, Biden 1. Trump associates jailed at least 25, Biden 0.
Millions spent on golf, Trump $275 million, Biden 0. You can look at any and all issues and ?observe # 45 is the clear winner.
R is for terroRist says
Ask a republican about the supreme court justices that have been bought and paid for by their donors and they do hold important public offices……. They should be held accountable for breaking the laws. Lock the republiscum up.
silence about trumps corrupt kids?
Economic analyst Steven Rattner on Monday shared a pie chart showing that all but 1% of the $3 billion in investments in former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s private equity firm Affinity Partners came from foreign sources after he “spent much of his White House tenure cozying up” to Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman. The Saudis invested $2 billion in Kushner’s fund while the United Arab Emirates and Qatar each added another $200 million. About $625 million came from other non-U.S. sources while only $31 million came from sources inside the US.

Anyone read the 14th ammendment to the constitution? So cause its inconvient for your corrupt hate brand that one doesnt apply ?
