The walls are closing in on President Joe Biden, and one lie after another falls apart about grandpa grifter’s reported millions of dollar bribes from foreign sources, from China, Ukraine–not Chicago, but other places where political influence peddlers and other pimps buy and sell politicians by the pound.
And now that the sweetheart plea deal for crackhead First Son Hunter Biden has fallen apart, even the left wing pundits want to dump him for California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom, saying old Joe at 80 is just too old.
They play a weasel’s game, ignoring the fact that Vice President Kamala Harris is a black woman. She might be a nincompoop but she’s not senile in need of a drool cup like her boss. Will she kneel and crawl away from her ambitions and dreams to satisfy the same billionaire socialists who sold out Sen. Bernie Sanders and who expected him to sit down like a trained pooch?
Bernie sat like a pooch.
If only the corporate legacy news media wasn’t sodden and corrupt, as if journalism was a sugar cookie dunked in spoiled milk.
But for right now in Joe World, the Democrat president is being portrayed as an infirm bag of bones. Pressure mounts to dump him and save what power they can for themselves and install Newsom or some other pretty boy in there and throw black Democrats some table scraps. As long as the corporate legacy news media plays ball–and they always have played ball, ginning up some racial controversy to distract black Democrats as if they were the suckers in a game of “Find the Pea” –it just might work again.
But if they think old Uncle Joe is moving kinda slow now, if they think the president is decrepit now, just wait until Hunter Biden’s business partner Devon Archer is scheduled to testify in Washington this week to discuss the dozens of times Joe Biden was on speakerphone with other foreign business officials.
Miranda Devine of The New York Post and author of “Laptop from Hell” had a fascinating column about Archer. I leave the links so you might read it. Please do so.
“Hunter Biden would dial in his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on speakerphone into meetings with his overseas business partners, according to testimony expected before Congress this week from Devon Archer, the first son’s former best friend,” Miranda Devine wrote.
“Archer, 48, who is facing jail for his role in a $60 million bond fraud, is scheduled to testify to the House Oversight Committee about meetings he witnessed that were attended by Joe Biden either in person or via speakerphone when Hunter would call his father to introduce him to foreign business partners or prospective investors.
“We are looking forward very much to hearing from Devon Archer about all the times he has witnessed Joe Biden meeting with Hunter Biden’s overseas business partners when he was vice president, including on speakerphone,” said Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the committee chairman.
Remember that for years the Democrats and their media lickspittles have insisted–and Joe Biden has himself stated emphatically and publicly before the last presidential election, that he knew nothing of his son Hunter’s shady overseas business deals. Of course he knew.
He was the muscle. And Hunter, like his Uncle Jim before him, was the bagman. The guy who carried the treasure to “The Big Guy” or “President Ten Percent.”
Those of you who know Chicago know how this works–The Delaware Way is the American Way is the Chicago Way. And how do you keep the suckers from ‘beefing’ or ‘complaining?’ You control the media to suppress problematic facts. And do they ever control it.
Now you understand why the Democrat Media Complex was so furious with voters after the mid-term elections. They would be exposed. All the rocks would be turned over. There were no moist corners in which to hide.
The great heavyweight champion Joe Louis had a saying, “They can run but they can’t hide.” Eventually they’d be trapped and take a public beating.
I’d like to think that is true, but the difference being that there is a great political machine between Biden and his opposition. They protect Biden and take the punches for him and then counter-attack with deadly vengeance, and as long as there are low-information voters out there (i.e. stupid, easily manipulated voters) who don’t read and don’t pay attention. These are the true chumbolones who steadily consume corrupt media the way diabetics guzzle soda-pop. And it is through this stupidity–most of it demonstrated by Democrats during big-city elections, that guys like Joe and Hunter Biden are protected and saved.
I don’t want it to be so. I want them trapped and panicked and waving for thin air, but that only happens with a reasonably honest news media, and most assuredly not the crew of rats with press credentials that run along the Potomac today.
Why do officials from China keep smirking at our Washington establishment class and why the Washington establishment kowtows and bows? It’s the way you might respond to a dog wearing velvet pants and doing tricks to convince you he’s human, with a smirk or smile.
Should Biden be impeached? I certainly hope not. I saw what the Democrats did to America on repeated and failed Trump impeachments. It was their hysteria and their protection of fops Adam Schiff that turned my stomach. And the contempt that Democrats showed the nation by elevating the oily creature.
But I do agree with the Speaker that there should be an impeachment inquiry, and if reports are true that Biden father and son took $5 million in bribes each, then let’s see them dance to their destruction with capped teeth showing in a Biden overbite.
Here’s my question, the one I asked in the headline of this column: Where Have You Gone Woodward and Bernstein?
And by this I don’t mean the old geezers themselves rolling the bones of Nixon as party favors and entertainments of their past glories, but the spirit of the Watergate journalists determined to get to the story and tell the story no matter what political boss said “No” regardless of party. I remember reporters like that. They weren’t about impressing anyone. The best of them wouldn’t have done well in the Twitter or X-verse.
I worked with a few.
When I was a kid reporter going to work each morning in the great Gothic Cathedral of the Tribune Tower, I’d made it a practice to read and study on some of the great quotations of American journalism that were carved into the walls and the floor. It was like reading the stern admonitions of the Anglo Saxon gods.
My favorite quotation is quite brief, and was set above a door leading to the elevators to the Chicago Tribune newsroom where I started as a copyboy. I would read this quote from Lord Thomas Macaulay every day and I still get goose bumps when I think of it:
“Where there is a free press the governors must live in constant awe of the opinions of the governed.”
But now I suppose that should be amended to reflect the leverage and constant awe the governors must feel to Twitter or Facebook/Meta committees, and their friendships with the Department of Justice hacks and other media “influencers” in government.
I do remember how upset and panicky the Chicago Tribune newsroom became when I worked there and wrote columns in support of Miranda Devine and The New York Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden, his self-incriminating laptop and the national establishment’s effort to silence reporting about it. And whatever Woodward and Bernstein once stood for–and they did some heroic work–is defiled every day by the new journalism.
The old journalism business model has collapsed. The new greasy journalism model is here. A new crop of new editors shake like reeds at the march of the newspaper union Bolsheviks–for example, my old Tribune– in league with the cadre of hard left politicos determined to see Chicago and other big cities fall and leaving victims of violent crime without a voice. A few decent journalists remain, but most anyone with any credibility has left corporate legacy journalism in Chicago to the harpies that despoil it.
And Woodward and Bernstein? They’re dust in the wind now, as dusty as memories from the old Washington establishment Gridiron Club dinner where reporters wore white tie and tails and bowed to potentates wearing sashes. I’ve worn the monkey suit and have attended that dinner. You’ll see evidence of the primping. And see newspaper bosses preening, and journalists singing show-tunes and ditties–at the Gridiron and the White House Correspondent’s Dinner–to entertain their political masters whom they served as guardians of the Washington establishment.
The political pretorians loved those dinners. And years ago, I knew then at those dinners why the people hated men in white ties and tails. It was phony. It was Washington. And the people on the outside mocked by the likes of limp twits like Seth Meyers? They were the Forgotten American people and they hated us and all of Washington. And the wise ones still do.
Right now there is no time for nostalgia as reporters scramble to find any excuse possible to change the subject and avoid whether Joe Biden took 10 million dollars in bribes from foreign players, or if you prefer, pimps. Perhaps “UFOs AMONG US” will work or some multi-part series on Barbie’s sex life.
Who can say? The corporate media to which I gave most of my life will find out that it can’t ever come back to the good grace of the people after running a Biden family cover-up that they ran from the time the laptop was found. Because it has illuminated too much. And this week more drama. This week with Devon Archer
Joe Biden is too old to run again—best that he be bundled away off stage—so they won’t have to see him fall for his crimes and take his Democratic Party enablers down with him. Or so they hope.
But he’s had his hand out for 50 years. Grafting and grafting. Taking and taking. From the credit card companies that kept him going. As the wide open southern border with Mexico allows trafficking in little children and fentanyl that murders their older American brothers and sisters. Joe was a grifter back in Delaware. And with the new Russian oligarchs. And the Ukrainian oligarchs. And the Chinese oligarchs. All sending him and many other members of the Biden family millions upon millions of dollars so they could live like kings on a government salary.
His boss, the “sainted” Barack Obama turned the Blind Eye. He not only knew. He let it happen. The Obamas learned in Chicago that the people are fools.
Just distract them with shiny objects like manufactured “racism” and the cheapest kind of Chicago Way hustle falls right into their hands.
