They can’t quit the grift. No sooner had Joe Biden won the White
House than his family went back to trying to make a buck off his
name.
The latest sordid example involves one of Joe’s younger
brothers, Frank Biden, appearing in a Florida law firm’s ad — on
Inauguration Day no less. The ad used the president’s name to
draw attention to the Berman Law Group’s class-action suit
against sugar cane growers.
“The two Biden brothers have long held a commitment to pushing
environmental issues to the forefront,” says the ad. “The
president-elect has vowed to rejoin the Paris Agreement and
wants to set ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets.”
The ad, first reported by CNBC, appeared in the Daily Business
Review and carried a picture of Frank Biden and quotes him
saying, “My brother is a model for how to go about doing this
work.”
How touching. And shameless.
After the enormous political trouble Hunter Biden’s shady
business ties caused during the campaign, Frank’s bid to piggy-
back on Joe’s election sounds especially reckless. But here’s
another way to look at it.
Biden family members are oblivious to conflicts and criticism
because they’ve been swimming in swamp corruption for decades.
The two brothers, Frank and Jim, and Hunter have made millions
and millions based on selling the perception of access to Joe’s
power.
Having gotten rich and gotten away with it, why quit now? Joe is
no longer one of 100 senators or just the vice president. Now
he’s the “big guy.” Ka-ching!
A corresponding myth the Bidens sell is that Joe, like Sgt.
Schultz, knows nothing. Ignorance is hardly a virtue given the
circumstance, but with most media giving him a pass, Joe’s never
paid a price.
As a candidate for president, he insisted he never discussed
Hunter Biden’s vast foreign businesses with him. Yet Hunter flew
to China with him on Air Force 2 in 2013 and returned with a
$1.5 billion investment from a bank controlled by the Communist
Party.
So we’re supposed to believe that during the long round trip
flight, Joe never said, “Son, what are you doing on my plane?
And what are you doing in China?”
Even more galling, when Hunter abandoned his laptop at a repair
shop and The Post published e-mails and photos from it showing
how the son had been reaping a king’s ransom from autocrats,
oligarchs and various thugs, Joe called the whole thing “Russian
disinformation.”
He was the one spreading disinformation, though most Americans
didn’t know it because Big Media ignored the story and Big Tech
blocked The Post’s accounts. Still, we know Joe knew the truth
because the laptop contained an email from an adviser to the
corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma, thanking Hunter for
arranging a meeting with Joe. Burisma, recall, paid Hunter more
than $4 million for sitting on its board despite his knowing
nothing about Ukraine or energy while Joe was vice president.
Nice work if you can get it.
Any remaining doubts about Joe’s knowledge were erased by Tony
Bobulinski. The former college wrestler and decorated naval
officer went public about Hunter’s work with a Chinese firm and
said he had two meetings with Joe Biden in 2017.
As Bobulinski told me, Joe knew everything about the deal in the
works, which, if true, supports his claim that our new president
was to get a secret 10 percent cut. Bobulinski also said Hunter
often referred to his father as the “big guy.”
As they parted, Joe Biden told him to “look out for my family,”
Bobulinski recalled.
To this day, none of the Bidens has denied Bobulinski’s claims,
which he also made to the FBI. Agents have the wayward laptop
and Hunter admits he is the subject of a criminal tax probe.
As for Frank Biden’s newspaper ad on Inauguration Day, it wasn’t
the first time he used his brother to boost the lawsuit. In June
of 2019, the Berman firm announced its suit against the growers
on the same day that Joe announced his campaign’s environmental
plan, according to
floridapolitics.com.
Pressed by a reporter about whether there was any coordination
with the campaign, Frank Biden reportedly answered: “There was
absolutely no coordination. It was serendipitous that Joe’s
environmental policy came out today.”
Confident the media will continue to protect a Democratic
president, a Biden aide answered a Politico query on the Florida
ad with mush that suggests the First Family of Grifters has no
intention of going out of business.
“It is this White House’s policy that the president’s name
should not be used in connection with any commercial activities
to suggest, or in any way that could reasonably understood to
imply, his endorsement or support.”
In other words, Ka-ching!
Three heroes bared truth
How much damage has Gov. Cuomo suffered from the revelation that
he hid and manipulated nursing home deaths? Even CNN blasted him.
When your name is Cuomo and you’ve lost CNN, it’s bad. Very bad.
Lots of people were instrumental in breaking open the dirty
secrets, but three women were key.
Attorney General Letitia James, a Cuomo ally, didn’t blanket the
airwaves as she did when Donald Trump and the NRA were her
targets, but her report nonetheless pierced Cuomo’s con. Her
finding that tallies undercounted nursing home deaths by some 55
percent is a defining moment in the governor’s career.
Janice Dean can claim unique vindication because she was the
most prominent and persistent family member to push for the
truth. The Fox meteorologist, who lost both of her in-laws to
COVID in nursing homes, became the face of grief.
Trying to silence her, Cuomo’s team foolishly fired off insults,
which added fuel to her determination. She’s being courted by
the GOP to run against Cuomo next year.
Arlene Mullin is less well known than James and Dean, but the
retired Long Island educator’s role was crucial because she was
the first person to sound the alarm about the infamous March
25th order forcing unprepared nursing homes to accept COVID-
infected patients.
Soon after her mother died in a home of the virus on April 6,
Mullin learned of the order and scoured state Web sites until
she found it. She wrote to The Post about the bizarre
requirements and on April 20, Albany reporter Bernadette Hogan
asked Cuomo at a press conference about the order.
The governor said he didn’t know anything about it, yet was soon
attacking The Post and others for criticizing the catastrophe it
was causing. He also kept the order in place for another 20 days
before effectively rescinding it while still claiming it
“worked.”
It worked only if the aim was to kill thousands of helpless
senior citizens. That’s what it did and now, thanks especially
to these three women, the truth can no longer be denied.
WaPo’s ‘ruffin’ it
Big scoop from The Washington Post shows post-Trump journalism
at its finest:
“Who pours the kibble? And other answers about daily life for
dogs in the White House.”
