SHOULD LYING GAMER PARASITE LAWYER JOE BIDEN RESIGN? - If George Santos Should Resign, So Should Biden Democrats suddenly claim to care about truth. The truth is they’re all liars.

 REALITY: ALL LAWYERS ARE LIARS. IT'S NOT JUST JOE BIDEN, HUNTER BIDEN, JAMES BIDEN, BILLARY AND HILLARY OR THE UNGREAT DIVISIONIST OBOMBS!


If George Santos Should Resign, So Should Biden

Democrats suddenly claim to care about truth. The truth is they’re all liars.

Democrats and their media are demanding that George Santos, a newly elected Republican congressman from New York, resign for having invented his entire backstory.

If lying about your past is an impeachable offense, there wouldn’t be a single politician in D.C.

And damn few Democrats.

Let’s start at the top. The very top.

Earlier this month, Biden told an entire story about awarding his own uncle a purple heart for fighting in the Battle of the Bulge.

His uncle died ten years before Biden became vice president.

Biden began his story by saying, “My dad, when I got elected vice president.” His father died during Bush’s second year in office.

The only possible explanation for this entire story is that Biden is crazy, senile or a liar so shameless that he makes Hillary Clinton look like the love child of Honest Abe and George Washington.

And that was just another day of Biden telling crazy lies and the media letting him do it.

Had Trump told a story about his dead father telling him to give a medal to his dead uncle, we would still be hearing about it, there would be memes, SNL skits, at least two books, one written by Michael Wolff, and probably a congressional investigation. But for Biden, it’s just Thursday.

Biden claimed that his son, Beau Biden, “lost his life in Iraq” when he died of cancer in Maryland. Then he said it again, “I’m thinking about Iraq because that’s where my son died.”

He claimed that, “I know, having had a house burn down with my wife in it — she got out safely” and  “we didn’t lose our whole home, but lightning struck and we lost an awful lot of it.”

There was actually a small kitchen fire that was quickly brought under control.

The New York Times tried to spin this under the headline, “Biden, Storyteller in Chief, Spins Yarns That Often Unravel”. That’s the nicest way of saying “con artist’s pathological lies keep falling apart” ever.

Biden has claimed that he “came out of the civil rights movement”, that he was arrested as a 14-year-old at a civil rights protest, and arrested trying to see Nelson Mandela. He claimed to have been desegregating restaurants and movie theaters.

None of it, not a single word, was true.

Biden lied, claiming that he came out of a black college. “I got started out of a HBCU, Delaware State.” The college confirmed he was never a student.

When Biden isn’t black, he’s Puerto Rican.

“I was sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community at home, politically,” he claimed. That sounds familiar, he also lied that, “I was raised in the black church, politically, not a joke,”

When he wasn’t in the black church, he was Jewish.

“I probably went to shul more than many of you did,” he lied to Jews in October, “I’m a practicing Catholic, but I’d go to services on Saturday and on Sunday.”

You can blame some of this on his age, but the truth is that he’s always been a compulsive liar.

In the eighties, Biden claimed to have graduated in the top of his class and that he went to school on an academic scholarship.

None of that was true.

Neither is his more recent claim that he was put forward to the Naval Academy. Or that his first job offer was from a lumber company that had never heard of him. Or that his ancestors “worked in the coal mines of Northeast Pennsylvania.”

“I became a teacher. I became a professor,” Biden lied. “I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man,” he lied again. A White House spokesperson explained that he had once been inside one in 1973.

There could and probably should be an entire book of Biden lies. But it would have to be digital so that it could be updated every hour on the hour.

It would be nice to think that Biden is unique. He’s not. Democrats suddenly claim to care about truth. The truth is they’re all liars. Lying, like socialism, is a basic qualifier for the Democrat nomination.

Obama’s autobiography was admitted to be heavily fictionalized. Hillary claimed that she had tried to join the Marines and NASA. Senator Elizabeth Warren claimed to be Cherokee, Senator Richard Blumenthal claimed that he served in Vietnam, and Kamala Harris claimed that she grew up under racial segregation and listened to Tupac five years before he released an album.

Democrats and the media are very interested in George Santos. They’re outraged that he lied about claiming to be Jewish. They’re much less interested in New York State Senator Julia Salazar who lied about being Jewish to justify her role in the antisemitic BDS movement.

Senator Salazar also claimed that she was a poor Colombian immigrant when she was actually born in Florida and had a trust fund worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Some of the same New York Democrat politicians fuming about Santos endorsed and campaigned with Salazar. The official Bernie Sanders site continues to promote the antisemitic con artist as evidence that his revolution of supporting extremists for higher office works.

If politicians have to resign for lying, there wouldn’t be any left. If they were expected to resign for faking their biographies, we might have a few dozen left. And we’d be better off for it.

What is truly nauseating is the selective outrage by a cultural revolution that rediscovers truth and ethics on a temporary basis when it’s politically convenient.

The truth about George Santos appears to be that he has the same shaky relationship with truth as the leadership of the Democratic Party. Just ask Joe Biden, if you can catch him in between desegregating movie theaters with the black and Puerto Rican communities, visiting synagogues, battling gang members, being forced down in Afghanistan, joining the Naval academy, getting a tryout for the NFL, graduating in the top half of his class, losing his first wife to a drunk driver, nearly losing his second wife to lightning, his son in Iraq and then awarding a medal to his dead uncle on the advice of his dead dad.

It would be wonderful if all the lying stopped. It would be a good start if the party of liars stopped acting like they care about a fake biography when all of their biographies are fake.

Why does Biden lie so much? The easy answer is because he gets away with it.

Lying, like most political crimes, has become politically selective, allowing leftists to get away with anything while throwing the book at non-leftists. There was a time when Biden’s compulsive lies killed his presidential aspirations. In the Obama era, lying stopped mattering. And Biden has responded by Cloward-Pivening the very concept of truth into oblivion by deliberately telling crazy lies. Accusing Biden of lying has no sting because no one expects him to tell the truth.

Democrats suddenly claim to care about fake biographies. They can start with the lies of the most powerful man in the land, rather than just another congressional freshman no one cared about before they decided to make him famous as the face of the Republican House.

If they want Santos to resign, let Biden lead the way.

Biden was 25 in 1967, and was attending Syracuse  University College of Law, from which he graduated  76th in a class of 85

in 1968. By 1967, when he  supposedly talking to the Egyptian government on  behalf of Golda Meir, he had already embarked upon  his

career of lying. A Syracuse College of Law faculty  report on December 1, 1965 stated that

Biden “used five  pages from a published law review article without  quotation or

attribution,” and recommended that he fail  a legal methods course because of

his plagiarism.                                              ROBERT SPENCER


Joe Biden—the tragic martyr in the White House

Joe Biden’s been dreaming of the Oval office since at least the late 1980s. In January 2021, having struck an unknown number of Faustian bargains (putting both his soul and America in peril), he finally realized that dream. And wouldn’t you know it…he’s miserable. Apparently, being top dog in America, at least in Biden’s world, isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, leaving him whining that he’s having a harder time of it than any other president, ever.

It hasn’t always gone well for American presidents. Washington had to guide a brand-new nation. Madison had to fight the British. Lincoln presided over the Civil War, and Grant was responsible for rebuilding a war-torn nation. Woodrow Wilson got America into World War One. Franklin Roosevelt, from his wheelchair, presided over the Depression (with horrible results) and World War II. Truman made the tough decision to drop the bomb, Kennedy was embroiled in the Bay of Pigs, Johnson escalated the Vietnam War, Nixon ended the war, Reagan had to undo the damage Carter caused, and Dubya faced the aftermath of 9/11. And of course, Trump had to face the virulent hatred of both Democrats and Republicans.

Sad Joe Biden image by Andrea Widburg using YouTube screen grab and tears.

But the real martyr in the White House, according to Chris Whipple’s The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House, is Biden. No one has had a harder time of it than poor Joe. At least, that’s what Biden thinks:

President Joe Biden believes he’s had it worse than President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, is angry with his media coverage and is suspicious of the Secret Service - believing the Major Biden biting incident didn’t go down as said, according to a forthcoming book.

‘I think there are times when he feels that God dealt him a terrible hand - worse than FDR’s,’ White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain told author Chris Whipple for his book, The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House.

Roosevelt was president through the Great Depression and most of World War II. 

Klain opened up to Whipple about how the president gets frustrated when the media ‘invents’ crises - citing last year’s supply chain kerfuffle as an example.

[snip]

‘If there isn’t a real panic, it seems like the media invents the panic,’ Klain continued.

Biden’s travails, according to the Daily Mail article from which the above quotation comes, include COVID, which he knew about when he ran; the above-mentioned supply chain problem, which resulted from the lockdown and vaccine policies he championed; the Ukraine war, which he aggressively sought; and the mess at the Southern border, which resulted directly from his opening the border. In other words, Biden is the beleaguered victim of problems he created or exacerbated.

Offsetting those disasters, as the same Daily Mail article points out, have been the legislative successes a Democrat-controlled Congress delivered, including the most recent obscene spending bill.

In the same book, Biden denigrates the men and women who are sworn to throw themselves between him and a bullet—namely, the Secret Service. Again, from the Daily Mail:

According to The Independent, which also obtained a copy of the book, the president fears there are ‘MAGA sympathizers’ in the ranks of the Secret Service because the agency is ‘full of white ex-cops from the South who tend to be deeply conservative.’

Biden was disturbed that the agency lost droves of text messages for the period that included the January 6 Capitol attack, the author said.

‘Wary of his own Secret Service agents, the president no longer spoke freely in their presence,’ Whipple wrote.

What really seems to have gotten Biden’s knickers in a twist is that he disbelieves the Secret Service’s claim that Major, the rescue German Shepherd, bit one of the agents:

Biden was walking a friend around the residence and pointed to where the attack allegedly occurred. 

‘Look, the Secret Service are never up here. It didn’t happen,’ the president said, according to Whipple’s account.

Biden thought ‘somebody was lying ... about the way the incident had gone down.’ 

Given that Major went on to bite a National Park Service employee—and no one has ever claimed that NPS employees are conservatives—before his final banishment from the White House, Biden’s paranoia about the Secret Service is a bit hard to take seriously. But of course, Biden himself is hard to take seriously.

Biden is discovering that the American people, in their wisdom, knew beginning in the late 1980s that he was not White House material. Nevertheless, here he is, occupying the White House, as stupid and corrupt as ever, with the added difficulty of incipient dementiaIt would be better, obviously, if Trump were still president, but knowing Biden is paranoid and unhappy is something of a consolation prize.


Joe Biden’s Top 15 Most Outlandish Lies

4:19

President Joe Biden has lied a lot before and during his presidency. Here are the top 15 most outlandish lies from his career.

1) Law School Grades

Biden claimed in 1987 he graduated in the top half of his class at Syracuse College of Law. He was 76th in a class of 85.

2) Arrested in South Africa 

Biden falsely claimed in 2022 he was arrested for trying to see Nelson Mandela in South Africa. The Washington Post marks this claim as false.

3) First Job

In 2021, Biden claimed in Idaho his “first job offer” was from a local lumber and wood products business, Boise Cascade. The company said there is “no record” of Biden’s claim.

 4) Visiting a Synagogue 

Biden claimed in 2021 he visited Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue, where 11 people were murdered in 2018. Biden did speak to the Tree of Life rabbi. He never visited the synagogue, as he claimed.

5) Unemployment Numbers

Biden claimed in 2022 unemployment was the lowest in 50 years, down from 6.5 percent to 3.5 percent. Biden’s claim was false. The unemployment rate was 3.5 percent under his predecessor.
6) Visited Afghanistan 

Biden claimed in 2022 he had visited Afghanistan and Iraq twice as president. The New York Post marked Biden’s claim as false.

7) Naval Academy Appointment 

Biden claimed in 2022 claimed he was appointed to the Naval Academy in 1965 by the late Sen. J. Caleb Boggs (R-DE). A search of Boggs’ records fails to produce evidence to support Biden’s claim.

8) Beau Died in Iraq

Biden has falsely claimed twice in 2022 that his late son Beau died in Iraq. Beau died at a Maryland hospital.

9) Never Spoken to Hunter About Family Business

Joe Biden falsely claimed in 2019 that he never discussed business deals with Hunter. But Joe Biden left Hunter a voicemail in 2018 about a business deal with Chinese energy giant CEFC, directly contradicting Joe Biden’s statement in 2019.

“Hey pal, it’s Dad. It’s 8:15 on Wednesday night. If you get a chance just give me a call. Nothing urgent. I just wanted to talk to you,” Joe Biden said. “I thought the article released online, it’s going to be printed tomorrow in the Times, was good. I think you’re clear. And anyway if you get a chance give me a call, I love you.”

10) Visited 54 States

Biden falsely claimed in 2022 he campaigned in all 54 states. There are only 50 states in the union.

11) Passing Student Loan Legislation 

Biden falsely claimed in 2022 he passed “student loan forgiveness.” But no student loan legislation has been passed through Congress.

12) Raised by Puerto Ricans

Biden claimed in 2022 he was “sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community at home, politically.” But Biden told the BBC he is Irish. Media reports suggest Biden is five-eighths Irish, stemming from two Irish families.

13) Gas Prices

Biden falsely claimed the price of gas is “down from over $5 when I took office.” The day before former President Donald Trump left office, the national average price of gas was $2.38.

14) Biden Traveling 17,000 Miles with Chinese President

Biden claimed in 2021 he ‘traveled 17,000 miles with’ Chinese President Xi Jinping. The Washington Post marked Biden’s claims with three Pinocchios.

15) Inflation Is Temporary 

Biden claimed in 2022 that inflation was only temporary. Before his statement, inflation had raged for months. About six months later, inflation is still soaring at 7.1%.

Joe Biden has made it abundantly clear that he is unprincipled, untrustworthy, and unscrupulous. His faux presidency will be remembered as one of the darkest periods of American history. We can only hope that the damage he leaves behind him will not be completely irreversible. ROBERT SPENCER

Our President, The Pathological Liar

A shameful characteristic throughout his whole 52-year political career.

3

The sad reality is that the President of the United States, Joe Biden, is a pathological liar. This is not a new personality trait for our Commander-in-Chief, but a characteristic that has been apparent throughout his 52-year political career.

Biden has been telling lies, including massive untruths, for decades. It is a major reason he had to exit the 1988 presidential campaign. He lied about his law school grades and plagiarized speeches from United Kingdom Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock.

Regularly, Biden lies about his childhood, his family, his academic career, and his record as a politician.

Does anyone really believe that, as a young lifeguard, he faced off with a “bad dude” named “Corn Pop” who had a “bunch of bad boys” armed with “straight razors?” Biden claimed he used a six-foot chain to force the gang to leave.

Biden pretends he was a tough guy and has boasted that in high school, he would have taken Donald Trump “behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.”

He likes to embellish his career as a college football player and lied about being on the University of Delaware team that beat the Ohio Bearcats. He said he quit the team to date the woman who would become his first wife, but, instead, he was forced to leave due to bad grades.

This week, Biden told a series of lies that are impossible to reconcile. At a town hall meeting with U.S. veterans in Delaware, Biden told a story of awarding a Purple Heart to his uncle, Frank Biden. He said that his uncle had served heroically in the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, and had earned the Purple Heart, but never received it.

He declared he “got” his uncle the Purple Heart after he was elected Vice President in 2008. Biden said he awarded it to his uncle in front of family members. According to Biden, his uncle did not want the award because “the others died, I lived, I don’t want it.”

Of course, as usual, Biden’s story is untrue. His uncle, Frank Biden, died in 1999, nine years before he was elected Vice President.  In addition, as noted by the New York Post, “Frank Biden’s tombstone does not identify him as a Purple Heart honoree, nor does his obituary. A partial registry of known Purple Heart recipients also doesn’t note anyone by that name receiving the award.”

In the same speech, Biden insulted the people of Ireland and the country’s descendants living in America by stating “I may be Irish, but I’m not stupid.” So, he thinks the Irish are “stupid?” Isn’t that an example of hate speech?

Thereafter, he tried to show his connections to Italians by asserting “I married Dominic Giacoppa’s daughter. So, you know, I got a little Italian in me now, you know.” Yet, his wife’s father was Donald Jacobs from New Jersey. It was her great-grandfather, Domenic Giacoppo, who immigrated to America from Italy.

In the same speech, Biden lied about the number of times he had visited Iraq and Afghanistan. He said he had been to those combat areas “38, 39 times.” Sadly, this is another lie he has told in the past. His campaign had to admit that he had visited those areas only 21 times.

Biden also lied when he said that he had visited Iraq and Afghanistan “twice as President.” As reported by The Daily Mail, he last visited Iraq in 2016 and Afghanistan in 2011, well before he assumed the presidency in 2021.

The President has often lied about the tragic death of his son, Beau Biden. He died of brain cancer in the United States, but President Biden said he died in “Iraq.”

Biden likes to identify with his audience and will create falsehoods to establish a connection. For example, during a trip to Puerto Rico, he said he was raised in Delaware as a member of the “Puerto Rican community.” Of course, the Puerto Rican community in Delaware during Biden’s upbringing was infinitesimal.

Biden has lied about being “appointed” to the Naval Academy and working as a truck driver. He also created a false history as a demonstrator against injustice. He fabricated an arrest in this country as a civil rights protester and in South Africa as an activist for Nelson Mandela.

In September, Biden told Jewish leaders that he visited the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh after a 2018 antisemitic terrorist attack that killed 11 people. However, he never visited the synagogue and only made a 2019 phone call to the rabbi.

While addressing hurricane victims in Florida, Biden lied about the impact of a lightning strike on his home in Delaware 15 years ago. According to Biden, because of the strike “everything was ruined” and “we almost lost a couple firefighters.”

At the time of the event, the Associated Press reported that impact was minimal, “no one was injured,” and the strike only caused a “small fire that was contained to the kitchen.” The news report indicated that the fire was controlled within 20 minutes.

In the view of conservative commentator Deroy Murdoch, Biden is either a “pathological liar” or “even worse, maybe he really believes that these non-events actually took place. If so, then he is living a life of total fantasy.”

Unfortunately, Biden’s lies are becoming more frequent and more alarming. The United States has a President that cannot differentiate between fiction and reality.

It is a crisis considering the power of the presidency and the array of problems facing our nation, including an invasion at our southern border, a weak economy and an ongoing war in Ukraine that is causing some military experts to worry about the prospect of nuclear war.

It is too dangerous for the United States to be saddled with such a president. If he does not resign, Republicans must begin impeachment proceedings when they take control of the U.S. House of Representatives in January.

Biden is, and has always been, a pathological liar of the worst kind, the kind who lies to boost his own ego no matter how easy it is to prove his dishonesty. MONICA SHOWALTER


We Knew Joe Biden Was a Big Liar

But this is ridiculous.

Politicians frequently lie, but Old Joe Biden’s career record is clear: He makes Josef Goebbels look honest. Biden is such a massive liar that it’s unclear whether or not he has ever told the truth in an entire lifetime of grift and corruption. On Friday afternoon, however, Biden outdid himself, appearing at the Delaware Veteran’s Summit and telling so many outrageous lies about his career and his family that if he were a conservative, establishment media “fact checkers” would have died of exhaustion. It’s lucky for them that whenever Old Joe speaks, they take the day off.

Biden claimed that when he was elected vice president in 2008, his father contacted him and asked him to finagle a Purple Heart for his brother, Biden’s uncle Frank. Biden said, “You know, I — my dad, when I got elected Vice President, he said, ‘Joey, Uncle Frank fought in the Battle of the Bulge.’ He was not feeling very well now — not because of the Battle of the Bulge. But he said, ‘And he won the Purple Heart. And he never received it. He never — he never got it. Do you think you could help him get it? We’ll surprise him.’”

The incoming vice president was, of course, happy to get his uncle the recognition he deserved, however belatedly: “So we got him the Purple Heart. He had won it in the Battle of the Bulge. And I remember he came over to the house, and I came out, and he said, ‘Present it to him, okay?’ We had the family there.” Get your handkerchief ready. Biden continued, “I said, ‘Uncle Frank, you won this. And I want to…’ He said, ‘I don’t want the damn thing.’” The crowd laughed, and Biden plowed on: “No, I’m serious. He said, ‘I don’t want it.’ I said, ‘What’s the matter, Uncle Frank? You earned it.’ He said, ‘Yeah, but the others died. The others died. I lived. I don’t want it.’” Biden then attempted to bring his story into the present and initially missed by fifty years: “Just like a generation — this generation in Vietnam — excuse me, in — in Iraq.”

Anyway, what a noble soul was Uncle Frank Biden, eh? There’s just one problem: Frank Biden died in 1999, and Biden’s father, Joe Biden Sr., died in 2002. Yet the putative president claims that this incident took place in 2008, and it hinges upon Vice President Joe, as the national second banana, being able to pull strings to get his uncle the Purple Heart. Maybe this happened years earlier than Biden said it did, and he was pulling strings as a senator rather than as vice president, or maybe it never happened at all.

The latter seems more likely. According to the New York Post, a registry of recipients of the Purple Heart doesn’t include the name Frank Biden, and when Frank died, his obituary contained no mention of his having won this honor. Also, the story is suspiciously similar to one Biden was fond of telling in 2019. He was in Afghanistan as vice president, Biden claimed, to honor a Navy captain who had “rappelled down a 60-foot ravine under fire and retrieved the body of an American comrade, carrying him on his back.” Biden said that when he tried to pin a Silver Star on the captain, “he said, ‘Sir, I don’t want the damn thing! Do not pin it on me, Sir! Please, Sir. Do not do that! He died. He died.” Biden concluded, “This is the God’s truth. My word as a Biden.”

But it wasn’t, of course. Even the Washington Post, ordinarily a tenacious purveyor of Leftist propaganda, stated, “Except almost every detail in the story appears to be incorrect. Based on interviews with more than a dozen U.S. troops, their commanders and Biden campaign officials, it appears as though the former vice president has jumbled elements of at least three actual events into one story of bravery, compassion and regret that never happened.”

The Frank Biden story wasn’t Old Joe’s only lie on Friday. He also claimed, “And, you know, I think that there’s a — I’ve been in and out — not as a, obviously, combatant — but in and out of Afghanistan and Iraq and these areas 38, 39 times as — not as President, only twice as President, but from the time I was a senator, but particularly when I was Vice President.” This was a slight rollback of his claim during his State of the Union address: “I’ve been in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan over 40 times.” In 2019, he said, I’ve been in and out of Afghanistan and Iraq over 30 times.” According to the Washington Post, “his campaign later clarified that the correct number is 21.” Also, he has never visited Afghanistan or Iraq as president.

Joe Biden has made it abundantly clear that he is unprincipled, untrustworthy, and unscrupulous. His faux presidency will be remembered as one of the darkest periods of American history. We can only hope that the damage he leaves behind him will not be completely irreversible.

Top 10 Stories the Establishment Media Ignored in 2022

7:24

The establishment media ignored multiple relevant news stories in 2022. Here are the top ten stories the media failed to report:

1) Media Ignore Election Denier Hakeem Jeffries’ Assault on Democracy

In November, ten establishment media outlets, including Fox News, initially did not seem to care Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who became House Democrat minority leader, was an election denier.

Following the midterm elections, during which many media outlets constantly pointed to particular Republican candidates as “election deniers,” the media failed to hold Democrat Jeffries to the same standard.

Jeffries has attacked democracy by denying the legitimacy of American elections more than 100 times.

2) Media Ignore ‘Twitter File’ Drop Exposing FBI, Intel Community Collusion with Platform

In December, the media ignored the seventh “Twitter File” release that exposed the FBI and intelligence community’s role in censoring the “Laptop from Hell” story first reported in 2020 by Breitbart News’s Emma-Jo Morris.

The Washington PostNew York Times, Politico Playbook, Politico Punchbowl News, and the Los Angeles Times all ignored that the FBI and intelligence community “discredited factual information about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings both after and *before* The New York Post revealed the contents of his laptop on October 14, 2020,″ according to journalist Michael Shellenberger.

3) Media Ignore Durham Investigation of Hillary Clinton’s Operatives Allegedly Spying on Trump

In February, the media ignored news from the John Durham investigation that alleged Hillary Clinton’s campaign operatives spied on Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and subsequent presidency.

After the revelations of Clinton’s alleged shenanigans broke, the New York TimesWashington PostWall Street Journal, CBS News, NBC News, and ABC News all ignored one of the largest political scandals of the past decade.

Rasmussen Reports noted the Associated Press, New York TimesWashington Post, and Wall Street Journal continued to ignore the scandal for more than 48 hours. The publications instead preferred to direct readers’ attention to the Super Bowl and the Olympics in Communist China.

4) Media Ignore Joe Biden’s Involvement with Theranos

In January, the media ignored Joe Biden’s involvement with Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, when he was vice president.

The Wall Street JournalNew York Times, and Washington Post ran headlines on home pages about Holmes’ conviction of fraud without referencing the stories of Joe Biden’s involvement.

Even though Biden praised Holmes in 2015 for “maintaining the highest standards” in developing lower-cost blood lab tests with only a prick of blood, the establishment media ignored Biden’s praise for Holmes, who was found guilty of four charges of fraud.

5) Media Ignore It Was Wrong About Hunter’s Laptop Being ‘Russian Disinformation’

In March, the media ignored its duty to come clean about its false reporting that Hunter’s “laptop from hell” was “Russian disinformation.”

Specifically, the Huffington Post, The Intercept, and MotherJones failed to retract reporting on a now-debunked Politico story from 2020 that claimed Hunter’s laptop was “Russian disinfo,” according to “dozens of former intel officials.”

The media used Politico’s headline and spread their own disinformation. “Giuliani and the New York Post Are Pushing Russian Disinformation. It’s a Big Test for the Media,” MotherJones claimed.

6) Media Ignore Physical Attack on Republican Candidate Gen. Don Bolduc

In November, the media ignored the physical attack against Republican New Hampshire candidate for United States Senate Gen. Don Bolduc.

The three top newspapers, the New York TimesWashington Post, and Los Angeles Times, failed to recognize the physical attack on Gen. Bolduc that occurred moments before a key debate with Democrat Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH).

7) Media Ignore Alleged Payouts to Biden Family Detailed in Hunter’s Texts

In April, the media reported that Hunter Biden had received $4.8 million in payments from a Chinese energy company. Yet it failed to mention the payout mechanism by which the Biden family likely profited from peddling influence.

Hunter’s texts seem to indicate Joe Biden received 50 percent of his son’s “salary” for a 30-year period. The texts do not indicate when the 30 years began or ended and whether Joe Biden is still a part of the payment scheme as president.

The New York Times’s and the Washington Post’s decisions to ignore the inner workings of the Biden family business is not surprising. The texts could reveal the core of an entrenched business enterprise. The texts also appear to connect the current Joe Biden to the family’s corrupt business dealings.

8) CNN Fails to Admit Hunter Biden’s Laptop Is Authentic Until 532 Days After Initial Report

In March, CNN finally admitted Hunter’s “laptop from hell” was authentic 532 days after the initial story broke on October 24, 2020, which the network falsely claimed at the time was “Russian disinformation” and “made up.”

CNN only admitted Hunter’s laptop was authentic after the New York Times verified it two weeks prior. It took the Times nearly two years to acknowledge what was authenticated in 2020 by Breitbart News’s Emma-Jo Morris.

Notably, CNN’s former president Jeff Zucker had labeled Hunter’s laptop story a “Breitbart… rabbit hole” and unworthy of coverage.

9) Brian Stelter Spends Exactly 0 Seconds Rectifying Media’s False Claims that Hunter Biden’s Laptop Emails Were ‘Russian Disinformation’

In March, CNN’s Brian Stelter spent zero seconds on his show Reliable Sources discussing the New York Times’s admission that the New York Post’s October 2020 reporting on Hunter’s laptop was accurate after all. He also refused to acknowledge his false claim that Hunter’s laptop was “Russian disinformation.”

After the New York Times admitted Hunter’s laptop was authentic, instead of disclosing his role in spreading misinformation, Stelter totally ignored his false claims on CNN and spoke zero seconds about his role in pushing the false “Russian disinformation” narrative.

10) Media Ignore FBI’s Handling of Biden Family Business Whistleblower Intel 

In September, the media ignored revelations the FBI warned Facebook of the imminent “dump” of “Russian propaganda” before the story of Hunter Biden’s laptop broke during the 2020 election cycle.

While the FBI was communicating with Facebook, the FBI’s leadership blocked agents from investigating Hunter Biden’s laptop until after the 2020 election was decided, Senate whistleblowers say.

Not everyone ignored the story. CNN reporter Sarah Sidner tweeted that questions surrounding the Biden family business scheme are “serious,” “legitimate,” and nonpartisan.
